106, Poker game and cooperation

At the party, after Harvey left, Keanu Reeves came over holding a wine glass.

"Look, Duca, I helped you make a lot of money again."

"Yes, you performed well this time. I didn't misjudge you."

Duka said while holding up his wine glass.

Keanu Reeves smiled and took a sip of champagne.

"Duka, you said last time that I will be rewarded if I do well. This time I don't want a reward. How about asking you for a favor?"

"help?"

Duca looked at him, "What are you going to do?"

"emm~, it's Shania. I heard that you and Shania are friends. Can you praise me more in front of her and tell her about my advantages, such as handsomeness, elegance, kindness, talent, gentlemanly demeanor, and respect for ladies?

Very polite, loves to do housework, and proactive..."

"Wait, you want me to lie?"

"How could this be a lie? Aren't these my strengths?"

Keanu Reeves spread his hands.

"Really? If you have so many advantages, which girl would reject you?"

"Uh...well, even if I don't have so many advantages, there are at least half of them. You just need to tell Shania what kind of person I am and let her get to know me. I think she will definitely change her attitude towards me.

My opinion.”

"This is difficult. Shania is a very independent girl. She will not change her opinion of you just because others say good things about you. This trick will not work for Shania. If you really like her, go ahead.

Talk to her and impress her with your charm and confidence."

"It's no use. I called Shania, invited her to drink coffee, and invited her to listen to our band's performance. She refused them all and didn't give me any chance. What should I do?"

Keanu Reeves asked with a grimace.

"I don't know. I've been picking up girls for more than ten years and I've never been rejected by a girl, so I can't answer your question. It's a pity."

Duka chuckled.

"Hmph! But you just said you wanted to help me."

"I didn't say that I would rather give you a check reward than act as a matchmaker for you, because this task is too difficult and I have no confidence that I can complete it."

Duca smiled.

Keanu Reeves frowned, "How can this be such a difficult task? Am I that bad?"

"It's not that you're too bad, it's that Shania is picky. Okay, I have something else to do. Let's talk next time."

Duca smiled, took the wine glass and left quickly, walked to Monica, and started chatting with Winona, Sharon Stone, and Julia Roberts.

"Fake, this bastard!"

Keanu Reeves cursed angrily. He felt very unhappy when he saw Duka chatting happily among the girls.

Everyone is 100% handsome, why is he so popular? That guy is still a scumbag, why do girls like to date this kind of guy? Are you crazy?

After the celebration party was over, Duca took Monica home and chatted about the casting of the new movie. Just now Winona heard about the script of "Immoral Deal" and expressed that she was very interested in the heroine and wanted to try it.

try.

Duca did not refuse. The original heroine was Demi Moore, a beautiful and artistic woman, and Winona was also good in this aspect, pure, beautiful, artistic, and suitable for the heroine Diana.

However, the specific choice of who will be the heroine depends on the audition results. If some parts are not suitable, the performance will be awkward, and the movie may fail at the box office.

This is just not cost-effective.

"Dear, before you came, Sharon Stone also asked me if I had any roles suitable for her, did you know?"

Monica looked over and smiled.

"I don't know, how could I know if she asked you?"

Duca shook his head while driving.

Monica smiled slightly, "Then you want her to try the role of Diana?"

Duca thought for a moment, "It's not appropriate. Diana is a slightly conservative and very artistic girl. Most of Sharon Stone's past roles were sexy and outgoing, not to mention that she just filmed a movie like "Basic Instinct". Her

The image is not suitable for a female character like Diana."

"It seems like this. How about "Escape from Las Vegas"? The role of the call girl is sexy, beautiful, and slightly artistic. Isn't it a good fit for Sharon Stone?"

Monica stared at him and asked.

The corner of Duca's mouth moved, "Dear, this kind of thing should be left to the casting director to decide. They often select people, position the actors very accurately, and have a good way of judging people. We just guess out of thin air.

Not a good idea."

Monica nodded slightly, "Yes, you are right, but Sharon Stone is an acquaintance. We have a role in hand, shouldn't we take proper care of her?"

Duka slapped his forehead and stopped the car on the side of the road.

"Honey, what do you want to say?"

He asked, holding Monica's shoulders.

"I didn't want to say anything. I just talked about the role casually and didn't mean anything else. Do you think I meant anything else?"

Monica blinked her long eyelashes, her expression frank and innocent.

Duca shook his head, "We'd better forget about the casting and leave it all to the crew. We are businessmen. The most important thing is to make a well-received and popular movie. Everything else is unimportant. We don't have to do it because of favors.

We decide the roles at will. Once something goes wrong in the movie, the responsibility will be on us. If word gets out, others will think that we like to interfere in the crew's affairs, so they will choose to cooperate with us carefully."

Duca said and restarted the car.

"It's like this, but dear, have you ever noticed that every time I talk about Sharon Stone, you feel a little nervous? What's the reason for this?"

Monica turned her face sideways, as if to see his expression.

Duka smiled and said, "The reason is that a woman who likes to think wildly started to think wildly again. I must answer her questions seriously, otherwise what should I do if she doesn't let me enter the room to sleep at night? If I don't hold her to sleep at night, I

I will suffer from insomnia. To me, insomnia is a cruel punishment and I don’t want to experience it again.”

"Oh? Then do you think that woman is stingy and likes to make trouble unreasonably?"

Monica asked with the corners of her lips raised.

"Of course not. She is a gentle, kind, smart, beautiful, sexy, hot, and a little cute woman. In my heart, she is the best woman in the world."

"Oh? Is there such a good woman? Who is she? Wait, you praise other women in front of me, don't you think it's too much?"

Monica pursed her lips and asked.

Duka glanced at her and said, "Girl, we'll be home in ten minutes. I'm going to talk to you for three hours, and you're not allowed to surrender in the meantime."

"Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Monica rolled her eyes at him and laughed softly.

Duka smiled, increased the speed of the car, and the car quickly passed other cars and merged into the dense traffic flow.

——

Been busy all night.

At around eight o'clock the next day, Duka reluctantly got up from the soft and fragrant quilt, washed, had breakfast, and ran laps in the yard.

After running around for three or four times, Monica finally walked out of the villa. She was wearing a black lace suspender nightdress, her long hair was tied up casually, her left hand supported her waist, and her right hand held a glass of vegetable juice, slowly

He walked to the bench in front of the lawn and sat down, looking a little lazy.

"Morning, dear, do you want to go for a run?"

Duka ran around and asked.

"Do you think I need to lose weight?"

Monica asked as she pulled back her messy hair from her ears.

"No need! You have a good figure."

"Then you ask me why I'm running?"

Monica rolled her eyes.

"Okay, I just think if we run together, we should be able to run more laps."

"If you don't come, if you don't let me have a good rest at night, how can I have the energy to run with you?"

"Okay, next time you just have to admit defeat and I will let you go."

Duka chuckled.

"Impossible, I will definitely get up before you next time."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Duca continued to run and train in the yard.

——

At noon, Monica drove to the company. Duca went to the bar first, and then was asked by Andrew to play cards. He said there were not enough people, so he had to bite the bullet and run over to make up the number.

After playing for more than two hours, I won more than 100,000 yuan. It was less than before. The reason is that these guys have played cards more often and have developed their skills. It is not easy to win money from them.

"Duka, why do you win every time? Do you have any tricks for playing cards?"

After playing cards, Julia Roberts asked while holding a coffee cup.

"Yes, the trick is not to play cards with professional players. If you play with non-professionals like you, it will be difficult to lose money."

Duka smiled softly while holding the tea cup.

"Haha~ David Martin, did you hear that? This guy is despising your poker skills."

Julia Roberts looks to old rivals Martin Scorsese and David Geffen.

"He has good skills. This is a fact. I can't refute it."

Martin Scorsese shrugged and laughed.

"Duka, your level allows you to participate in professional competitions, and you may be able to get a good ranking."

David Geffen laughed.

"Sounds good, I'll give it a try when I have time."

Duca smiled.

"Remember to call me, I like to watch the fun."

Robert Downey Jr. said.

"I also like to watch the fun, Duca. If you win the championship in poker, then you will be the champion of two sports. From now on, we should call you the North American Gun King and the North American Gambling King. How about that?"

Andrew joked.

"I just said give it a try, and I didn't want to become a gambling king."

Duca shook his head and smiled.

"Duka, how did you practice your marksmanship and how could you shoot so accurately? I've known you for so long, and it's hard for me to believe that you are a super shooter."

Julia Roberts asked.

"It depends on talent. My talent in shooting is pretty good. I can judge the target accurately enough, my hands are stable enough, my brain nerves and technique work well together, and I can basically hit the target if I see it right. But this kind of talent is useless, except

In competition hunting, there is no other place to show off."

"Not necessarily. You can become a soldier or a police officer. If there is a gun master in the Los Angeles Police Department, everyone will feel very safe."

Robert Downey Jr. said.

"Forget it, being a soldier or a police officer requires killing people. I hate doing such things, so I came to the United States from Mexico."

Duca said seriously.

"Duka, I support your statement. Using guns to kill people is the greatest waste. Using guns to fight for honor is the best way."

Julia Roberts said.

"I don't agree with your statement. Killing and wounding enemies and criminals is equivalent to maintaining peace. Using guns to maintain peace is not good, right?"

Robert Downey Jr. retorted.

"Now is the age of peace. There are no real enemies, only conflicts of interest and disputes between interest groups. Duka went to the battlefield with a gun. That was not maintaining peace, but becoming a killer tool of the consortium."

"But warlords are often fighting in Africa, and ethnic conflicts continue. Take Rwanda, for example, where many innocent civilians die every day. Duca can go there with a gun to maintain peace. With his marksmanship, he will definitely be able to save many people.

"

Robert Downey Jr. said.

"That's a civil war in Rwanda, why should Duka care about it?"

"Because of justice!"

"Okay, you two, stop arguing, I'm going to faint from you."

Duca shook his head.

Now several others laughed softly.

"Duka, your gun has another use."

Director Martin Scorsese put down his glass and said, "You can be a shooting coach on the set and teach the actors how to hold a gun and shoot. You can also be an action director and help design gunfights."

"This is a good idea, Duca, teach me how to shoot when you have time."

Julia Roberts laughed.

"Okay, I often practice shooting at the Long Beach Shooting Club on weekends. If you want to practice shooting, you can go there."

Duca said.

"Wait Duca, don't forget our shooting club. If Julia wants to practice shooting, she can join our club. Our shooting club will also hold shooting competitions regularly. When there are more people, we can go to Canada to ride horses and hunt, right?

Cool?"

Andrew smiled.

"I like hunting, so I signed up."

Robert Downey Jr. raised his hand and said.

"Then I won't participate. Downey is taking drugs and has to practice shooting. It's scary to think about that scene."

Julia Roberts shook her head.

"snort!"

Robert Downey Jr. tilted his head, not wanting to argue with her anymore.

Duka smiled and said, "Have you two not been filming recently?"

"Yes, I just finished filming "Soap Dish" and I am preparing for the role in "Chaplin"."

Robert Downey Jr. said.

"No, after filming "Captain Hook", I am going to take a break. In addition, Kiefer and I are planning to get engaged next month."

Julia Roberts laughed.

"Wow~, you are getting engaged, what a big surprise."

"Julia, congratulations!"

Everyone congratulated Julia one after another. In the past, we often saw news about conflicts between Julia and her boyfriend Kiefer Sutherland in the newspapers. Now it seems that things will finally work out.

"Julia, you know, you are my goddess, and you are getting married. It makes me sad just thinking about it."

Andrew said with a sad face.

"Haha, thank you. I will send the invitations to everyone later. You are welcome to come and watch the ceremony."

Julia Roberts laughed.

"Okay, we will definitely be there."

Everyone responded.

Duca smiled. If he remembered correctly, the engagement ceremony seemed to have gone viral. It was rumored that the man did not want to get married. Afterwards, Julia Roberts was depressed for two years and had no intention of filming.

"Duka, is your company still investing in movies? I have a good project in hand. Do you want to cooperate?"

Martin Scorsese asked.

"Uh, Martin, are you sure you want to cooperate with me?"

Duca said in surprise.

LV Pictures is just a small company, but Martin Scorsese has been nominated for three Oscars for Best Director and is a top director in the industry. There are many companies that want to work with him.

"It's a low-budget, literary film. I plan to write and direct it myself, with an investment of about 30 to 40 million. Let's discuss it in detail when we have time. How about it?"

Director Martin Scorsese said.

"good!"

Duca smiled.

"If there is a suitable role, don't forget me."

Julia Roberts said.

"Okay, no problem."
