After making money, Duca had a new worry, how to spend it?

Just like what Andrew and Gloria said, money left in the bank and not spent means making no money. This feels right.

He thought for a while, found Gloria and gave her a difficult task.

That is to use the foreign exchange on hand to buy a large manor in Italy, a winery in France, and a classical manor in the UK. Each luxury house must be equipped with at least three top-notch sports cars, and you can go there for vacation at any time.

Finally, I bought a few famous paintings at a European auction house to preserve their value.

After all, these things can only cost 30 to 40 million at most.

He plans to wait for the exchange rate to improve and then convert the remaining two hundred million into US dollars to buy stocks. He will buy some stocks in Cisco, Microsoft, and General Motors. Steve Jobs has not returned to Apple yet, so the stocks are worthless, so he can wait a few years before buying them.

After arranging the whereabouts of the money, Duka felt relaxed, but then the person who sent the money came again.

"Duka, which of these brands do you want to sign? Make a decision quickly. Several companies over there are urging you. They want to push out ads while you are still popular."

Matthew Foster knocked on the table and said.

After Duka won the gold medal, he also received a bonus of more than 100,000 yuan. At the same time, as Duka's sports agent, if Duka accepts advertising endorsements, he will also receive a share. This money is more than his salary in decades, so

He couldn't help but be anxious.

"Okay, I've already chosen the new Mercedes-Benz SUV, Armani business men's clothing, Mountain Valley mineral water, and Apple's new PowerBook Duo ultrabook. How about these four items?"

Duca drew four check marks and asked.

"How about choosing two more, this Obans ham and California Clover milk, the endorsement fee is also very high, and this cold medicine is also good."

Recommended by Matthew Foster.

Duca raised his eyebrows, "Is it appropriate for me to endorse ham cold medicine?"

"Why is it inappropriate? Athletes are best suited to endorse food. Just say that you grew up eating these foods to become so powerful and not sick. Everyone should learn from you."

Matthew Foster laughed.

Duca thought for a while and accepted Matthew's suggestion.

These brands are all big names, with high endorsement fees, few quality problems, and frequent advertising campaigns. After these ads are aired for a few months, his reputation in North America will not be less than that of first-line stars.

In addition, he is a businessman and athlete who mainly makes money. Even if there is a problem with food and medicine, it has nothing to do with him.

For more than a month, he became a tool man, posing on various advertising crews. One was for cold medicine, 'faster and more accurate, eliminates viruses, and effective in one pill.

The choice is', and after a while it's 'Get a bottle of Mountain Valley mineral water and get back into shape quickly, Peng~'

I filmed seven or eight commercials and earned more than 20 million US dollars, which is more than I earned from investing in a movie.

He suddenly understood why people like Bill Gates, Jobs, and Buffett were so rich and still accepted advertisements. The main reason was that this kind of money was too easy to make. If you don't make it, you won't make it in vain.

Shortly after the commercials were filmed, those commercials appeared on major television channels during prime time. Then his healthy and handsome image penetrated into thousands of households in North America and became one of the most familiar stars in everyone's eyes.

"Hey, Duca, why do you accept so many ads?!"

Keanu Reeves called and complained, "You know, every time I turn on the TV now, it's all your ads. When I change the channel, there are still your ads. It makes me not want to watch TV anymore."

"Oh, just watch it if you don't want to. Who forced you to watch it? Don't forget that you are an actor. You should spend your time studying the character. Don't sit on the sofa and watch soap operas all day long."

Duca lectured.

"I know, I don't watch TV all day long. Now I have three movie appointments in my hand. I don't even have time to sleep all day long. I don't have time to watch TV. But this afternoon our crew was having dinner. When I turned on the TV, I got the cold that you represent.

The drug advertisement looks a bit strange."

Keanu smiled.

"Why is it strange? I remember you also had a few advertisements."

"Yes, we are different. I am an actor, you are an athlete, a bartender, and a big boss. Now when I suddenly see you on TV, I feel that you are the same person as us. And I am the cold medicine you endorse.

I think sales must be very poor, because eating the cold capsules you endorse feels like eating bullets."

Keanu joked.

"Don't worry, as long as the cold can be cured soon, it doesn't matter if you take a bullet. By the way, where are you filming?"

Duca asked holding the script on the table.

"Weirdo Group, a small supporting role, was picked up by the company for me as a favor, hehe, but do you know who the heroine of our crew is?"

"who?"

"Brooke Shields, how about it? Do you want me to bring you an autograph?"

Keanu smiled.

"No, when you are free, you can take her to the bar and sit down. I will ask her for it myself."

"No, he has a boyfriend. I won't give you the chance to be a gangster."

"Fake, can you be a little more pure in your thoughts? I just want to add a celebrity customer to the bar, but I don't want to date her. She is too thin and is not my type."

"Humph, do you think I believe it? The newspaper said that you had an affair with Winona. Fake, I never thought you were such a person and slept with your friends. And Shania, Fake, Fake,

Duka, you are a damn bastard! Your character is a negative to me."

The more Keanu talked, the angrier he became, and finally he yelled.

"Are you crazy? You believe the scandals in the tabloids. There are also news saying that I cheated on you, haha~"

"Shut up! That's disgusting."

Keanu hung up the phone directly.

Duca smiled and suddenly saw the script on the table. He sent another message to it. It was a new work by Gus Van Sant, the director of "Unruly Skies".

It tells the story of a wandering girl and a Chinese man.

The plot is average, it's a literary film, and the market potential is average.

However, the budget of this movie is not high, only 5 million US dollars.

And LV Pictures and Director Sant have a cooperative relationship.

Duca decided to go ahead and lay the foundation for future cooperation. He remembered that Director Sant also had several good movies, such as "Good Will Hunting", "Mikkel", etc., all of which were of good quality.

He plans to use a real Chinese face for the Chinese male lead, and Keanu will have a small supporting role in it. At the same time, after playing this small role, the contract between the two parties will only have one film left.

Keanu said he wanted to read the script first. He didn't want to play a role where he used his girlfriend in exchange for money, so he showed great integrity.

Duka curled his lips, saying that people who often emphasize that they are moral are the least moral.

After the commercial aired, everyone I knew except Keanu mentioned the commercial he endorsed.

Some of them teased him face to face, and some called him to tease him, saying, "Your milk is delicious, your cold medicine is useless, your mineral water is too expensive...it made him regret taking so much."

Advertised.

"Dear, you are so famous, why don't any small umbrella brands ask you to endorse them?"

When going to bed at night, Monica held the small bag and smiled.

"Stop joking at this time, okay?"

"I'm not kidding. Think about it, you are a shooting champion, and if you are asked to endorse a small umbrella, it means that it is useless at all."

Monica smiled jokingly.

"Okay, you're right, then we won't use umbrellas today."

"Ah, what should I do if I'm pregnant?"

"What are you afraid of? It's not like we can't afford to raise children."

Duka laughed and pulled her into the blanket.

——

After finishing his advertising work and basically finishing all his spare time work this year, he gave himself a few days off.

Every day, he accompanies Monica to the studio after get off work, or goes shopping to watch movies and operas. Occasionally, when he has time, he will go to Shania Recording Studio or attend a concert.

In June, he and Shania invested 5 million to buy a recording studio in Los Angeles with top-notch equipment and used it as a place for Shania to practice and record songs.

Sometimes he heard Shania playing the piano and singing, and he remembered the lyrics of the new tune, so he wrote it down and gave it to Shania to complete the composition. In the past few months, the two collaborated to complete five songs of good quality.

Shania's second album "big big world" has been on the shelves for more than four months now. The two title songs have topped the music charts in many countries. The sales in North America have exceeded 3 million copies, and the global sales have exceeded 5 million copies and 500 copies.

gold.

The media predicts that the sales of this album are likely to exceed 10 million copies and become a diamond record.

With two albums under her belt, Shania has become more and more famous and has become one of the most famous female singers in country music. She has a huge fan base in North America and even around the world, which is even more popular than Mariah, the most popular singer in the music industry.

Kelly is no different.

In October, BMG Records plans to hold Shania's first global tour, and Shania is also busy practicing dance rehearsals.

After caring about Shania, he now had to care about the troublesome guy Quentin Tarantino. After he worked hard for more than a month, Uma Thurman still relented and accepted the role.

It is said that the reason for taking this role was that the couple had a quarrel and gave Quentin the opportunity.

After deciding on the heroine, we started to select the male lead. This is a man's drama, and each character is different and very individual.

Quentin and Laurence Band went back and forth among several choices, and it took them a month to submit a list of actors.

Duca looked at it and found that there was no "Lord of Dance" John Travolta among the actors on the list.

John Travolta is the real king of dance. In the 1970s, he set off a worldwide disco dance craze around the world with dance movies such as "Weekend Fever" and "Grease".

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】

His dancing skills are quite good, and the role of Vincent in the play is also the most suitable for him.

When Duca recommended John Travolta to Quentin, Quentin still expressed his reluctance, saying that he liked laymen to guide experts and that he should carefully consider cooperating with him in the future.

But after he had a chat with John Travolta, Quentin stopped making blind comparisons and repeatedly praised him for his sharp vision and that he was indeed the best shooter in the world.

After several protagonists were decided, the budget for "Pulp Fiction" was also made. Shooting and post-production would require approximately US$6 million.

Originally, Duca felt that the budget was too small and wanted to give him more money, but Quentin was determined not to ask for more, saying that he should use a small amount to win a big one, and he could not do worse than Director Rodriguez.

Duca didn't force him and let him do whatever he wanted. How much money could he make from watching "Pulp Fiction" once?

If he could break the 133-fold revenue ratio of "Mexican", he would be willing to call him Mr. Quentin.
