It was an old man with gray hair neatly combed to the back of his head, the old man's gaze was staring straight at this side, as sharp as an eagle, and Duke's gaze met it without fear, calm and indifferent, as if the other side was just the most ordinary wooden stake on the dock.

"Young man," Sean Connery took a few steps closer, "be confident to have a talent to match, otherwise you will become arrogant, this is Hollywood, it's easy to remember a person, it's easier to forget a person." ”

There was a clear condescending lesson in his tone, "There are many people who succeed because of occasional luck, but the next failure will cause them to fall from the peak to the trough, shattered to pieces, and ruined!" ”

"I like collisions, I like thrills, I like thrills."

Smiling slightly, Duke said lightly, "This is the path that belongs to young people, not those who are outdated." ”

"The Road to Failure!" Sean Connery said dismissively.

"Really?"

Faced with this domineering old man, Duke changed to a slightly sarcastic tone, "If you think I'm going to fail next, why insist on investing $10 million in my movie?" This can only show that you approve of my project in your heart, and you hypocritically refuse to admit it. ”

"You think I'll care about that money." Sean Connery looks like a gentleman who treats money like dung.

"If memory serves, you were neither nominated nor presented as an award presenter." Duke deliberately showed a puzzled expression, "I don't know how many digits MTV signed out the check before inviting the famous Mr. Sean Connery!" ”

Sean Connery's eyes widened, his shoulders slightly raised, "You ......"

"Mr. Connery, this is a public place."

Before he could finish speaking, Duke interrupted, the other party didn't care, he didn't want to be embarrassed with this old ruffian, "I think CAA has spent a lot of effort to shape you into a perfect gentleman, do you want to give up the image of a gentleman?" By the way, I was a quarterback on my school football team in middle school and college, and if you want to get your hands dirty, I'm happy to be there. ”

Taking a step back, Sean Connery shook his throat a few times, as if he had swallowed something back into his stomach, and in Duke's indifferent eyes, he said coldly, "A person like you, who has no culture and no respect, can be valued by Warner?" ”

"This is Hollywood." Duke shrugged his shoulders absently, "Since a rude, irascible and sweary-mouthed person is a man of alcohol and drugs. Addicted people can become the most elegant old gentlemen, so what is impossible? ”

"You ......," Sean Connery said, almost squeezing a sentence from between his teeth, "you won't make it, I swear!" ”

After saying that, he no longer gave Duke a chance to speak, and quickly turned to leave.

Looking at the slightly trembling back, Duke didn't know how much strength it took for the grumpy Sean Connery to endure it, and couldn't help but shake his head, CAA's packaging is indeed very powerful, and such a person can become synonymous with an elegant gentleman, which is enough to prove the ability of this brokerage company.

As for the other party's last words, Duke doesn't care, he is not an independent producer, and there is a super thigh of Warner behind him, even if CAA wants to do something, Warner will be at the front.

Independent production or something, it is not in Duke's pre-plan at all, that kind of anti-risk ability is too weak, this is Hollywood, it is a fighting ground for money and fame, not a place of pure goodness that can kill the whole United States by making a good movie.

"This man has a very bad temper and character."

Naomi, who had been holding him all along, suddenly said, "Once, at a pai duì at Cruise's mansion, he once reprimanded a young director without saying a word. ”

"Okay, let's not discuss him."

For Naomi Watts, Duke had a little more affection, she stood firmly by his side from beginning to end, which was also an attitude, he looked at his watch, and led her out of the lounge, "It's almost time, the awards ceremony is about to begin." ”

Because "Life and Death" is one of the most nominated films for the MTV Awards, Duke has a front seat, surrounded by crew members such as Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves, and on the other side of Reeves sits a strange woman who looks like his new girlfriend.

"Do you think you can win the prize?" Naomi Watts asked in a low voice.

"Since the organizing committee has sent me an invitation, I have also made it clear that I will attend......"

Duke listened to Nancy's explanation of this kind of entertainment, "I guess they won't let me go home empty-handed." ”

The awards ceremony quickly kicked off, without the solemnity and seriousness of the Oscars, and was full of joy from beginning to end, such as Whitney Houston in the opening performance, who rearranged the song "I Will Love You Forever", which became a hit because of "The Bodyguard", into a fast-paced R&B.

The winners are not too excited, the disappointed are not depressed, and the people who come to the stage to accept the awards always cooperate with the host and the award presenters to make some small self-teasing.

Although Duke was still empty-handed for more than half of the ceremony, "Life and Death" still won several awards, Keanu Reeves won Best Actor, and he and Uma Thurman escaped from the bus for the kiss scene after the bus, beating Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner for the crazy kiss at the airport, and won the trophy for the best kiss scene.

Unfortunately, Uma Thurman lost to Whitney Houston in Best Actress and Sharon Stone in Sexiest Actress, but she and Keanu Reeves went on to win the Popcorn Bucket for Best Screen Partner.

"The next award is the best action scene design ......," the host said in an exaggerated tone, standing on the stage, "and the winner is the bus that destroyed half of Santa Monica, "Life and Death!" Duke Rosenberg, please. ”

Clapping his hands with the crowd around him, Duke stood up and accepted Naomi Watts' hug, then walked onto the stage and received a large golden popcorn bucket from the hostess.

"Oh, it's heavier than I thought."

This kind of occasion and atmosphere, even if he is not good at joking, Duke still teased, "I just don't know how it tastes." ”

"It's going to explode!" The host joked next to him, "It's powerful enough to blow a plane and a bus to pieces!" ”

"Then it will come in handy soon." Duke put it in front of him and looked at it, "I'll blow up half of San Francisco with it." ”

"So the rumors are true?"

I don't know if Warner did a good job in private, and the host said, "Your new film is going to destroy San Francisco and Alcatraz?" ”

"Just destroy half of it." Duke emphasized.

"There will be explosions?" The host asked with great interest, "A more wonderful explosion than "Speed of Life and Death"? ”

"Yes, it's crazier than 'Life and Death', and it's going to have a blast that you'll see this summer." Duke changed to a mysterious tone, "When a fan of an action movie went to see my new film "Brave Island", he took motion sickness medicine that he wouldn't sleep in advance. ”

The hall erupted in laughter, followed by loud applause.

The time was almost up, and Duke knew that he should step down, and before leaving, he pretended to be stern and said, "Explosion is a highly technical sensory art. Inferior explosions make people feel aesthetically fatigued, high-quality explosions make people's blood boil, and top-level explosions can make people think. ”

The tide of applause rang out, I don't know who led the way, many people stood up and applauded, especially in the audience area at the back, there was a clear and audible cheer, the audience who can appear here must be lovers of popcorn movies, Duke's words are simply too much to their appetite.

Naomi Watts in the front row had already stood up, and when she saw the camera camera turning, she clapped her hands vigorously and lip-struck, as if to say 'I.LOVE. YOU' and the like, no matter how you look at it, she is a very competent female companion.

"Do you believe his new film will be a success?"

At the seat not far from the stage, Mel Gibson asked Sean Connery with a gloomy face, and the old man snorted heavily with his nose, "As long as someone stops him, he will not succeed!" ”

Sean Connery had an elegant smile on his face, and he was applauding the others, but there was a sparkle in his eyes.

"Congratulations, Duke."

As soon as he walked off the stage, Naomi Watts gave him a big hug, and Duke's eyes focused on the turning camera lens, patted her on the back, and whispered, "Don't get too excited." ”

As the award continued, Naomi took the golden popcorn from his hand and rubbed her fingers lightly on it, "How nice it would be if this was a little golden man." ”

"There will be, not now." Duke looked indifferent, it seemed that the little golden man was not much better than this golden popcorn trophy in his eyes, "The little golden man may not be more noble than popcorn." ”

"But that's an authoritative certification." Naomi clearly disagrees with him.

shrugged his shoulders, Duke didn't say anything anymore, it seems that the golden popcorn produced by the audience's vote must be full of insiders, how much better can the Oscars be? He has some memories of the Internet age, and knows how most of the future Oscars were born.

Art? Is it true that only literary films or independent films can represent film art?

In fact, who doesn't know that all Hollywood movies are born for only one purpose, and that is to make a profit!

""Batman 2" deserves to win the best picture."

After the awards, there was a small interview ceremony, and Duke faced the MTV camera and said, "The award for the best action scene is the best motivation for me, and I've been trying to design the plot and the shots that the audience will like, thank them for voting for me, thank them for liking my movie." ”

"When you make a movie," the reporter asked, "do you take into account the audience's preferences?" ”
