Chapter 486: A Headache
"International travel companies?"
After taking the business card and looking at it, Ivanka looked up and asked Duke, "Won't there be escort services?" ”
"Quite possibly." Duke shrugged.
"Hollywood really has all kinds of companies."
After muttering this, Ivanka turned to the side, threw the business card directly into the trash, and just grabbed Duke's arm when she came back, and her mobile phone rang in her handbag.
"I'm going to answer the phone." She took out her phone and looked at it, "Dad called." ”
Duke nodded, "Go ahead." ”
Ivanka just left, Warner Bros. CEO Doug? Walter came to him.
"There was a young man just now." Doug? Walter asked for two glasses of champagne, shoved one into Duke's hand, and said, "He just approached me and wanted to invest in Warner's project." ”
"Who?" Duke already had some speculation in his mind.
Sure enough, Doug? Walter said, "Larry the madman? Ellison's son, he wants to invest in your project and Harry Potter. ”
Duke looked interested, "I guess you must have refused." ”
"Do you think I'll say yes?" Doug? Walter took a sip of champagne, "Don't say it's him, it's his father who came over, and I'll refuse the same." ”
Larry? Ellison did make a name for himself, but that was in IT, not Hollywood.
Just like investing in a well-known and established company such as General Electric, investing in Hollywood sometimes doesn't always have the money to use.
What's more, neither Duke nor Warner is short of funds.
Doug? Walter didn't put David either? Ellison took it to heart and changed the subject, "Duke, I think it's more appropriate for the DVD of 'The Return of the King' to be released after the Oscars. ”
"Looks like you're confident." Duke understands why.
"Warner's communications and PR department is already up and running." Doug? Walter is indeed confident, "We have accumulated such a big advantage with the trilogy. If the jackpot still runs away, I will definitely fire all the people in those two departments! ”
The sound of high heels falling to the ground sounded, and Ivanka walked over quickly, Doug? Walter had basically said what he had to say, said hello to her, and left.
"What's wrong. My dear? ”
When she went out just now, Ivanka was in a very good mood, but now she is obviously not very happy on her face.
"Nothing." Ivanka squeezed out a smile at Duke, "I argued with my dad for a few words, and I'll talk about this when I get home." ”
Hearing that it was a matter between father and daughter, Duke wisely never continued to ask, Donald? From time to time, Trump will make some out-of-the-ordinary moves, and it is not once or twice that he has had a disagreement with Ivanka.
The party lasted until late, close to midnight. Duke and Ivanka return to the Duke's Manor and walk into the Eye-Shaped Villa. Fei was still sitting in the living room, obviously waiting for them.
"Something?" Duke asked.
"Hmm."
Tina? Fei nodded, "There is a press conference in New York in the evening. ”
Ivanka was about to go upstairs and said, "I'll go back to my room and take a shower first." ”
"Evie...... "Tina?" Fei called out to her, "You'd better take a look too." ”
"Something to do with me?" Ivanka couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"With Donald? Mr. Trump related. ”
Between words. Tina? Fei turned on the TV and played a pre-recorded video. It was a press conference, and the protagonist of the conference was none other than Donald? Trump.
With just one glance, Duke frowned.
This is Donald? Trump's new book launch, the name of the book he released is "Trump and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy"!
"I was involved in a lot of the preparation and post-production of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and this aspect is described in detail in the book."
Now that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is recognized as a phenomenal film, Donald? Mr. Trump clearly wants to use this to expand his influence. And the words he said were strong enough, "There are not only movie content, but also some things I get along with Duke, and the ...... Duke and Ivanka"
With her eyes off the TV screen, Ivanka looked at Duke first. Looked at Tina again? Fei glanced at it.
"I didn't know beforehand." She whispered, "I didn't hear about it until the phone call at the party, and I wanted to come back and talk to you about it." ”
Duke nodded, didn't say anything, and continued to look at this press conference, Donald? Trump is undoubtedly a master showman, and his words in interviews basically revolve around him and Ivanka.
No one likes to be a tool for other people's hype, and Duke is no exception, his face is calm, but his heart is not very happy.
Ivanka wanted to explain a few words for her father, "Duke, ...... daddy"
"Honey," Duke interrupted her rarely, "this matter has nothing to do with you. ”
He then remembered, once Donald? Trump said that he was going to publish a book, and the two almost had a conflict at that time, which was cleverly resolved by Ivanka, and there was no news about the other party's book, and he forgot about it.
"Turn it off, Tina."
Even though the video of the press conference was only shown, Duke still asked Tina? Faye turned off the TV.
Duke sat on the couch with one hand gently clasped on the armrest of the couch, and Ivanka sat beside him, fingers rubbing her forehead gently, clearly not knowing what to do.
Although it was said that it had nothing to do with Ivanka, how could Duke get around her when he dealt with this matter?
"I'm sorry, Duke." Ivanka also has a headache.
What kind of person her father is, she knows very well, if it weren't for the phone call at night, she still doesn't know, originally she thought that her father had given up the idea of publishing a book, but she didn't expect it to be ......
"It's okay, dear."
Duke shook her hand comfortingly, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, since this kind of thing happened, he couldn't be angry with Ivanka, it would be too unfair to her.
It's just that Ivanka's superb father is really a headache.
"Tina, inform Orr tomorrow? Ryder Attorney. Duke didn't intend to hide it from Ivanka. This kind of thing is easy to produce contradictions, "Send Donald a lawyer's letter!" ”
Ivanka took Duke's arm and could only smile helplessly.
Duke also knows that this is just to show his attitude to the other side, Donald? Trump loves hype and showmanship, but he's not a fool. Surely it will not be said in the book, with the copyright laws of North America, even if he and Ivanka are involved in the book, there is nothing that can be done.
Could it be true that Donald would be really? Trump going to court? Even if this is done, the lawsuit will only drag on indefinitely.
Although North America is very liberal and independent, Duke is sure that if he and Donald? Trump's tearing of his face will inevitably hurt Ivanka.
Although he is two Pacific Oceans away from kindness, he doesn't want to take the initiative to hurt this hard-working relationship.
Back to the room. Ivanka closed the door and hugged Duke from behind, her face completely pressed against his thick back, listening to the powerful heartbeat, "Thank you." ”
"We don't have to be so polite to each other." Duke turned around, took Ivanka into his arms, and kissed her the forehead again, "Don't think about it. Rest early. ”
"Hmm......" Ivanka nodded, kicking off her heels. Walking towards the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower." ”
As she spoke, she looked back, "Together?" ”
"Okay." Duke, of course, would not turn down such an invitation.
Ivanka waited for Duke to come to her side before taking him to the bathroom with her, which was not a long road. Her eyes flashed several times, and when she entered, she said, "I'm going to go back to New York tomorrow and have a good talk with Dad." ”
Duke stopped. After thinking for a moment, he said, "That's fine." ”
Let Ivanka talk to Donald? It would not be a good idea for Trump to have a good exchange, and Duke did not think that the activist who was keen on putting on a show would completely abandon the media topic of his affair with Ivanka, as long as he restrained himself a little.
The next morning, Duke went for a run in the garden, but Ivanka stayed, she walked into the gym and saw Tina, who was working out on the treadmill. Phenanthrene.
"Hi, Tina."
"Hi, Evie."
The two, as usual, greeted each other affectionately, and Ivanka stood on Tina? In front of the treadmill of the filipino.
Tina? Fei looked at her, pressed the stop button, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask you." Ivanka thought for a moment before saying, "Tina, what would you do if you were in this situation?" ”
"Me?" Tina? Fei pointed to herself, then shook her head and smiled, "I am Duke's assistant, and I have only one principle of work, and those who harm Duke's interests are my enemies." ”
Ivanka could only show a pair of eyes at her, and after sighing, she realized that she had asked the wrong person completely, whether the other party was Duke's deputy or the actual head of the Duke's studio, how could she be on someone else's side.
Put away your smile, Tina? Fei jumped off the treadmill, stood in front of Ivanka, and patted her arm gently, "Evie, we have been friends since New Zealand, you go back to New York and have a good talk with your father, no one will tolerate it without limits." ”
"I understand."
Having said that, Ivanka still has a headache when she thinks of her father.
After breakfast, Duke asked the driver to take Ivanka to the airport first, and he and Tina? Faye went directly to the Duke Studios in Burbank, preparations for "Hurricane Rescue" continued, and the work could not be suspended, as for Donald? Trump's side, he has informed Orr? Lawyer Ryder routinely sent a lawyer's letter, and the rest was left to Ivanka.
The book that went on the market should not exist for the time being.
When he arrived at the studio, Duke saw David? Ellison officially sent a letter of intent for investment, which included a number of projects in which the Duke's studio was involved, and he just glanced at it and asked Tina? Fei replied and rejected it directly.
Although rejected by Duke, David? Ellison did not give up his plans to enter Hollywood, and he met a big Hollywood man with the help of others. (To be continued......)
