Chapter 382 The man in question

I heard that Lord of the Rings fans have been gathering outside the Wellington set to protest against you?

In the VIP room of the crew, Duke had just walked in when he met Michael Ovitz. The entertainment brokerage giant shook hands with him. Although he smiled brightly, his words were vaguely tit-for-tat, A fan of The Lord of the Rings is A bunch of very stubborn guys, if they don't want to buy a movie adaptation account, it's really a headache. Right, Duke?

Duke didn't answer him. Instead, he looked at the other person's face and said in a reminder, Michael, how long has it been since I saw you? You look a lot older, have you considered when to retire?

His feud with Michael Ovitz and Martin Bob was widely circulated in Hollywood, and everyone else was clearly hiding there.

Only Naomi Watts, holding Duke's arm, was always by his side.

Michael Ovitz's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly, Experience is the most precious wealth...

Just like the elders teach the younger generation, Humility is the most basic quality that young people should possess.

I agree with you too. Duke smiled softly. Humility is a virtue that everyone should have.

Although he is not very good at it, when necessary, he is not afraid of verbal confrontation with anyone.

Duke, you really think you'll be successful forever.

Although last year's One Hundred Thousand Fires hit new lows in Duke's directorial career, Michael Ovitz is not a layman. He knows that with the film's theme and investment, it is still a huge box office hit of more than 200 million US dollars. success.

Still, no one has a smooth road to success, he stared at Duke. Even Spielberg. There will be times when they miss.

I never thought that a person can always be successful. Duke said a rare sincere word, but his tone changed, but I have confidence in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Hmph... Michael Ovitz sneered, It's a pity that even book fans don't buy it...

Michael! Duke interrupted. If you thought the Lord of the Rings trilogy would fail. Why change the release date of Pearl Harbor?

He also stared at Michael Ovitz, as if giving him a chance to explain.

because……

But Duke didn't let him continue, interrupting again, It's still so far away, you have every chance to convince Touchstone Pictures to change the release date of Pearl Harbor back to the Memorial Day schedule, I'm really excited. I want to see two super hits released at the same time.”

Michael Ovitz finally turned gloomy. But he didn't have the impulse to really do anything. How could someone who can climb to such a high position make a mentally retarded decision after being provoked a few words casually.

Yes, he does really want to change the release date of Pearl Harbor back. Reason does not allow him to do so.

Michael Bay is very strong, and the Lord of the Rings movie version is indeed being protested by a large number of fans, but as long as he thinks that Duke Rosenberg is standing opposite, Michael Ovitz will calm down. Those so-called problems weren't really a problem for Duke at all.

Unless he turns into a pig stupidly, will he think that Michael Bay, a little bang-banger, can compete head-to-head with Duke Rosenberg!

Strictly speaking. Duke rarely has direct verbal disputes with people. He always thinks that his mother's words are very reasonable - language is the least powerful way to fight back!

However, Michael? Ovitz came to the door to laugh and hide the knife, and he would not be polite.

The conversation between the two naturally broke up unhappily. Michael Ovitz left with a cold face. Duke looked at his back with indifferent eyes. With Martin Bob's transfer to Michael Ovitz, the relationship between the two sides has not been harmonious since Godzilla. His relationship is on the verge of taking a turn for the worse, and with the release dates of Pearl Harbor and The Fellowship of the Ring, he and Warner Bros. have clearly put him on the line.

And this is still a conspiracy. Michael Ovitz has nowhere to tell. After all, it is the freedom of the distribution company to choose the right release date.

Last year, he found me.

It was not until Michael Ovitz's figure completely disappeared from the crowd that Naomi Watts, who was holding Duke's arm, said slowly, Want to dig me over.

What about the conditions? Duke asked.

Naomi shrugged, The heroine of Pearl Harbor, but I turned it down.

Honey. Duke pulled her aside, You made the right choice.

Looking at the positions of Nancy Josephson and Tina Fey in front, Naomi added, I haven't thought about changing agents.

If Naomi Watts left, Nancy would never turn a blind eye as she did with Kate Beckinsale. The difference between the two's fame and status in Hollywood is too much.

I'll take you to meet the members of the crew.

Seeing Duke nod, Naomi took his arm and walked to the place where Peter Jackson and the others were, removing the people he already knew, and introducing the other members of the King Kong crew to Duke one by one .

Except for Naomi Watts and Andy Serkis, the actors in this crew are completely different from the impressions, which is also normal. For example, actors such as Adrian Brody may still be in independent films. Rolling around in circles.

However, there is another crew next to the King Kong crew, almost all of them are familiar faces. Thinking about the news from Nancy, Duke can easily guess that they appeared in the King Kong blockbuster. At the premiere, it must have taken the opportunity to promote, after all, it is a work under Universal Pictures.

Naomi Watts, though unfamiliar with them, knew them and introduced them to Duke.

This is Vin Diesel...

This is Paul Walker...

This is Michelle Rodriguez...

In the end, she took Duke and walked to a sweet-looking girl. The other party had chocolate-like smooth skin and long dark brown hair draped over her shoulders. When she laughed, she would reveal charming dimples. Is a very qualified vase-style actor.

This is Miss Jessica Alba.

Having introduced the Latina actor to Duke, Naomi Watts turned to her, a strange man, turned her head and asked with a smile, Jesse, who is this?

Without waiting for Jessica Alba's introduction, the man extended his hand to Duke, Hello, Director Rosenberg, I'm Christopher Rockencourt, I'm from France, and I'm Miss Alba's boyfriend. .

Hello. Mr. Rockencourt. Duke shook his hand.

Just as someone came over to say hello, Jessica Alba and Christopher Rockencourt went to greet others, Naomi Watts took the opportunity to whisper to Duke, This girl is introduced by James Cameron. the crew.

Naomi's meaning is obvious, if there is no James Cameron behind the other party, she would be too lazy to introduce so politely.

After the two people chatted with each other, they quickly turned back.

However, the attitudes of the two people are obviously different. Even with the introduction of James Cameron, if Jessica Alba can appear in the crew of Michael Ovitz's package service, he must have signed an actor contract with him. , she is not a newcomer to Hollywood, she is smart to keep a polite distance.

But her boyfriend was different. He was very enthusiastic about Duke. If Jessica Alba hadn't been standing next to him, Duke might have thought he was crooked.

Chris is a descendant of European nobility and has also inherited the title of an earl.

Speaking of her boyfriend, Jessica Alba looked very happy. He is a producer. After this Fast and Furious, he will make a movie specially for me.

Congratulations then. Naomi Watts said casually.

Christopher Rockencourt raised his chin slightly, his black hair was neatly combed back, and he was wearing a neat dress. With a decent appearance and polite manner, he really looked like a European nobles.

Duke's eyes swept across his face quickly, and he sighed secretly, that Miss Alba is too naive, and this French count has ordinary eyes.

How credible is it that a producer randomly promises to make a movie with a beautiful actress who is not yet famous?

If Christopher Rockencourt really wants to do this, then his vision is too bad. It will be a big problem to put this person in the first-line position, whether it is acting or skin color.

Such thoughts passed by in a flash, and Duke then put it aside. What happened to the two people in the end had nothing to do with him.

Maybe Jessica Alba, with the help of this sponsor, will change her path and become a first-class star?

Christopher Rockencourt seems to be very good at getting closer to people. In just a few minutes, Naomi Watts laughed several times, and even spoke with Jessica Alba's corroboration. His previous glorious experience.

I once won the European lightweight boxing championship. After I came to Hollywood, I met Mickey Rourke. We are now friends...

Jessica Alba added, Chris is going to invest $12 million to help Mickey Rourke out of the slump.

Hearing this, Duke always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, but he was not interested in these two people, and he was too lazy to listen to them continue. He gave Naomi Watts a look, and she immediately became smart. After saying goodbye to the man and the woman, he took Duke and walked back to a quiet place.

What's wrong? she asked.

Nami. Duke warned seriously, There is something wrong with that man, don't have too much contact with him.

Naomi Watts nodded immediately, I also think something is wrong.

She has worked hard in Japan, Australia, and Hollywood successively. She has a lot of experience and is definitely not comparable to those ignorant girls.

As the heroine of the crew, Naomi Watts had some entertainment, and then left Duke's side. Just when Duke was considering whether to find Nancy, he suddenly found that Christopher Rockencourt was walking towards him. come over. (To be continued ~^~)
