After returning to the United States, Duca held a party in his villa. One was to celebrate winning three gold medals, and the other was to celebrate another profit from LV Pictures' new movie "Unruly Sky."

At the party, he and Monica each invited many friends, including colleagues from the company, friends from the film industry, friends from card games, etc. Everyone was very happy to know that he had won three championships in the Shooting World Cup.

Come to the party.

"Duka, I thought you were an ordinary bartender before, but I didn't expect you to open a movie company again. I finally accepted the fact that you are the owner of a movie company and a millionaire. Now you have become an athlete and a world champion. Tell me.

, if you have any identity that you haven’t revealed yet, please give me some notice in advance so that I won’t be shocked again when I see the news next time.”

At the party, Winona smiled while holding a champagne glass.

"There is no secret identity. Opening a bar and a movie company is just for investment and making money. Practicing shooting is just a hobby. I didn't expect to win the championship. This shows that I am very lucky."

Duca chuckled.

"You are already a world champion, do you still have to be humble?"

Winona rolled her eyes at him.

"Well, I'm really good at shooting. How are you doing lately? Are you and Depp completely broken up?"

Duca looked at Depp who was playing guitar on the grass in the distance and asked.

At the end of last year, we heard that the two broke up, but then the news said that the two broke up and got back together again, making their relationship confusing.

"Now we are really separated. Last time he said he would change those bad habits for me, but obviously he couldn't do it. We quarreled several times and our differences became bigger and bigger. Now this relationship can only give us a burden.

It's too tiring and I don't want to continue to be entangled with it, and the same goes for Depp."

Winona shrugged.

"It sounds really complicated. I hope you two can handle it well and don't get too stiff."

"I will."

Winona smiled slightly and clinked her wine glass with him.

The two talked about the movie again. Winona finished filming "400 Years of Love" last month, and the next script has not yet been decided. If there is an opportunity, they can collaborate again.

"Hey~Duka, your game is over. Do you want to go to the poker game next weekend?"

Nicolas Cage and Robert Downey Jr. walked side by side.

"Okay, I don't have any pocket money recently. I'm going to win some at the card game. Have you prepared your chips?"

"Uh~"

Nicolas Cage and Robert Downey Jr. looked at each other and laughed.

"Look at how shameless this guy is. He comes to play cards when he has no pocket money, as if the card game is his cash machine."

Nicolas Cage pouted.

"Isn't it? Your poker skills are too amateurish. Every time I play cards with you, I win as much as I want. There is no challenge at all. Winning money from you is actually similar to a cash machine."

"Farke, you dare to say that, how about we come now? Each of us has one million, and we can only leave after losing. Let's see who wins more?!"

Nicolas Cage rolled up his sleeves and said.

"No, today is a family party, not a gambling party. We can't throw the guests out to play cards."

Duca smiled.

"Hmph, then next time, next time I will win you over, Donnie, will you come?"

"Of course, how could such an important card game be without me?"

Robert Downey Jr. shrugged and smiled.

"Hey, what's the card game you're talking about? Sounds like an illegal party?"

Winona looked at the three of them and smiled.

"It's a gathering of gamblers. Everyone chats, plays cards and drinks. There is nothing illegal."

Duca explained.

"Why don't you call me? Aren't girls welcome at this party?"

"Welcome, there are girls too, but you are usually very busy and don't play cards, so I didn't notify you. Do you want to participate?"

"Okay, remember to call me next time you play poker."

Winona smiled.

"Hey Duca, let's talk!"

By the pool, Harvey Weinstein squeezed in with his big belly.

"Harvey, thank you for coming. Let's have a drink."

Duca picked up two glasses of whiskey from the table and smiled.

Although the two of them didn't work well together last time, Harvey is still a guy worth working with and making friends with, so he also invited the Weinstein brothers to this party. They both showed up, which surprised him and made him feel

These brothers are pretty good.

"Duka, you are not interesting enough this time."

Harvey took a sip of whiskey and looked at him with a somewhat resentful look.

"Oh, what's not interesting enough?"

Duka said doubtfully.

""Unruly Sky", we are old friends and have collaborated many times. We have already formed a strategic partnership. But this time, because of a little money, you handed over the film to another company for distribution. It is really sad.

.”

Harvey frowned and sighed.

Duka smiled softly, he was such a good actor, so his acting skills should not be bad either.

"Harvey, it's not because of money, it's because of publicity and distribution capabilities. Columbia Tristar has released many gay-themed movies in recent years. It has enough experience in this area and has been relatively successful. Director Sant and Luo

Producer Lipak felt that Colombia was more suitable, so I chose to cooperate with them, not because of their high price."

Duca said seriously.

Harvey twitched his lips. It's not because of the money. This guy seems to be getting more and more cunning now. He doesn't change his face when telling lies. He is not as simple, simple and kind as before.

Thinking of this, he secretly sighed. The entertainment industry is indeed a big mess. No matter how innocent people come here, they will become human beings in a few years.

"Okay Duca, I understand what you mean. Next time your company has a good movie, can you hand it over to Miramax for distribution? Don't worry, we are friends, and I will never take advantage of you in the copyright fees.

Cheap."

Harvey said.

"Okay, I'll definitely invite you to watch the movie next time after I finish filming. Except for Quentin's movies, it doesn't matter if I leave the rest to you. Quentin... You also know what happened last time, and Quentin's heart

There is still energy."

Duka sighed softly and shook his head, looking like I was also in a dilemma.

Harvey narrowed his eyes and laughed, "I understand that Bob did something wrong last time. I promise you that this kind of thing will never happen in the future."

"Okay! I believe you!"

Duca raised his glass and smiled.

"Thanks!"

Harvey clinked a drink with him sullenly.

Speaking of what happened last time, he also felt that he had made a mistake. Last time, he did not abide by the contract between the two parties and deleted LV Pictures' movies. The main reason was that he was not optimistic about LV Pictures and Duka was not optimistic about the entertainment industry.

development in the circle.

Although their first movie "Reservoir Dogs" sold well, no one believed that they could continue to make good movies in their second one. The probability of a newcomer to the industry making consecutive blockbuster movies is too small.

Harvey thought the same way at the time. He regarded Duca as a one-time partner and had no plans for long-term cooperation, so he didn't care about their contract.

But the success of "Unruly Sky" made him realize that he was wrong. This guy also had some vision in investing in movies, and Duca's asset status also exceeded his prediction. This guy was not an ordinary rich second generation.

He is a second-generation rich man who dares to spend tens of millions to make movies, and he is also a potential partner.

So this time he came with his brother to make amends with Duka.

And Duca almost understood Harvey's plan, and he had no intention of rejecting it.

Harvey is an experienced old man and a very successful filmmaker. Working with him, you can learn a lot and make some money along the way.

In addition, he valued Harvey's other skill even more, the public relations Oscar.

Before Harvey, the Academy Awards were relatively fair and impartial in selection, and the atmosphere was good. Although there were public relations people, the scale was not large.

When Harvey arrived, this guy began to implement large-scale public relations for the Oscar Academy judges. He often held Oscar judges parties at the manor, sent gifts, organized star parties, etc., and PR was held for hundreds of people at a time.

The effect is very good. The Harvey brothers are also known as Oscar winner and best actor production machines. Their films can win awards or nominations every year.

The atmosphere of the Academy Awards was also ruined by this guy.

To those film artists, Harvey was not a good thing, but to Duca, Harvey was a very capable guy and a role model.

In the future, if he wants to help his own movies or his friends win awards, he can definitely ask Harvey for help.

"Duka, you've drank a lot, would you like a glass of juice?"

After seeing Harvey off, Shania Twain came over with two glasses of juice. She was wearing a long blue dress and high heels, looking particularly fresh and beautiful.

"Thanks!"

Duka took it and took two sips and said with a smile, "Shania, there are many people today, so I can't drink with you. I'll treat you to the next time I come to the bar."

"Okay, but you are an athlete, shouldn't you drink less?"

Shania smiled slightly.

"You're right, you should drink less, but drinking occasionally won't have much impact. By the way, how are your album sales? I've been busy with movies recently and haven't seen the latest data."

"Fortunately, it's about as expected. It sold 75,000 copies in the first week, and the cumulative sales in the first month were 370,000. It is expected that it will take another year to get a platinum album."

After a singer releases an album, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) will regularly update the sales volume of the album. 10 million copies is a diamond album, 1 million copies is a platinum album, and 500,000 copies is a gold album.

After a certain record sold by a singer reaches one million copies, the record recording company will plate the surface of the million and one record with gold. Platinum records will be plated with platinum, and gold records will be plated with gold.

If the sales volume reaches 2 million, it will be two platinums, and if the sales volume reaches 5 million, it will be five platinums.

"How's it going on the bulletin board?"

"Only "yellow" is on the singles chart, with a highest ranking of 25th, and album sales ranking of 87th. It's pretty good among new singers, only slightly worse than Mariah Carey's second album "Emotions."

Shania brushed her long hair around her ears and said.

"It's not bad. The first album has the potential to go platinum, and the second one will definitely be a diamond."

"Okay, but it depends on you. The sales of this album mainly depend on your song "Yellow". The songs I wrote are not as popular as yours."

Shania curled her lips, a little unhappy.

She is a country singer, and she pays more attention to her live performance ability. Listening to her singing live will have a better effect, while listening to the album will have a worse atmosphere. This is one of the reasons why country music cannot compare with pop music.

"Shania, don't take it too seriously. You can write so many good songs the first time you write. As you write more, you will get better and better. You will definitely be able to create more good songs in the future. I'm waiting for you.

’s new song.”

"Okay, when I have a new song, I will sing it for you as soon as possible."

Shania smiled slightly.

"Okay, I've also written two songs recently. I'll give them to you when I have time."

"Really? That's great. How about now...well, can I go to the bar to get it tomorrow?"

Shania asked expectantly.

"Can!"

Duca smiled.

"Look, there is a woman next to your man. It's really lively."

By the swimming pool, Linda Yingwangrista looked at the figure walking around in the crowd and said.

"Of course. My man is a world champion, worth tens of millions, handsome, talented, and has healthy lifestyle habits. He is a model among men. He is naturally popular with girls. I would be surprised if no women surround him."

Monica smiled slightly.

"Haha~, Monica, do you think I am complimenting your man?"

Linda rolled her long eyelashes with a playful look in her eyes.

"Is not it?"

"No, Monica, I'm worried about you. Look at Duca. Now there's Winona, then Shania, then Julia Roberts, Sharon Stone, and Jasmine, even that one

Gloria can’t ignore that there are so many strong competitors, don’t you have a sense of crisis?”

Linda said seriously, she hoped that with this tone and expression, Monica would wake up soon and fully pay attention to this matter.

"There is a bit of a sense of crisis, but not much. Duka is a bit philandering and lustful. I know this, but he is by no means a sentimental person. Do you know why I put all my money on him?"

"Isn't it because he is handsome and strong?"

Linda joked.

"This is only 10% of the reason. The key reason is that he has a strong sense of responsibility. He is a very responsible man and a family man. I like the most responsible and family man. These factors make me

I decided to bet the rest of my life on him."

Monica smiled softly.

"Don't be too confident. Many women are overconfident and end up being deeply hurt by men. I suggest you maintain a sense of crisis, communicate with Duka more, and don't give those women the chance to take advantage of you. In addition, I suggest you

How about draining him as much as possible so that he can't mess around outside?"

Linda blinked and smiled.

Monica laughed, "Probably not. Don't forget that Duka is an athlete. He is super strong. Sometimes I think he should be the strongest man in the world."

"Hey~, you are so good. You never forget to praise him. Sometimes I really feel that you have been poisoned by him, and the poison is so deep that there is no cure."

"emm, maybe you are right."

Monica laughed softly.

Linda rolled her eyes.

After a while, seeing that there was no one around Duka, Monica slowly walked over with her skirt in hand and took his arm.

"Hey, this guy is really hopeless."

Linda shook her head, but when she saw the loving couple in the crowd, she suddenly felt a little envious. She hoped that Monica had made the right bet.
