hollywood entertainment mogul

In the afternoon, after sending Monica home, Duca came to the bar to have a look.

He would come over to visit when he had nothing to do, firstly to kill his spare time, and secondly, if friends came over to spend money, he could also chat.

However, not many acquaintances come to the bar to spend money during this period.

Summer is the busiest time for movie crews in Hollywood. Most of them are busy filming, and most of those who are not filming are on their way to auditions.

If you don't even have an audition, that would be too bad. You should hurry up and look for opportunities, and you are not in the mood to drink.

Fortunately, several of the actors he knows are currently doing well, except for a few young actors.

In the billiard room on the second floor, he met River's younger brother Joaquin Phoenix. The little guy was playing billiards and beer with a few friends.

Among them are his sister, 14-year-old Summer Phoenix, and little Casey Affleck - this guy is Ben Affleck's younger brother and the future husband of Summer Phoenix, who is 16 years old this year.

There are also two relatively familiar young boys, one named Leonardo and the other named Tobey Maguire. One is seventeen and the other is sixteen. They are also teenagers and actors who hang out in Hollywood.

.

Seeing these guys, Duka also understood why Keanu River and the others have to work hard to take over and film movies. If they don't work hard, it won't work. The next batch of successors will develop very quickly. If they don't work hard, they will be overtaken by their younger brothers.

"Jacques, didn't you go filming?"

"No, we still have to go to school."

Joaquin smiled and introduced the friends present, Cassie, Leonardo, Toby...

Duka looked at these people and nodded, focusing on Leonardo. Leonardo was often considered to be Ruifan's successor. The two did have similar looks and styles in the early stage, but Xiao Lizi's appearance was different from that of Ruifan.

Ruifan is more refined.

"Jacques, if you come here often, drinks will be free of charge."

"Wow, that's great. I will definitely come here to play often. Do you want to play a round, Duca? I heard you have great skills."

Joaquin asked, holding the club.

"You guys are playing, I have something else to do."

Duka smiled softly and left the activity room.

"Haha, let's continue playing. If you want a drink, you can get it. Duca is the boss here and he said it's free."

Joaquin waved his hand and smiled in a dignified manner.

"You know each other well?"

Casey Affleck asked.

"Yes, my brother Duka and Keanu are good friends."

"Joaquin, is Duka also an actor? He looks very...cool, like those action stars in movies. He looks very similar in appearance and temperament."

Leonardo said.

"Haha~ No, Duca is the boss of the film company. Have you seen the newly released "Reservoir Dogs"? He paid for it, and he also invested in "Unruly Sky" made by my brother and his friends.

Nu and the others said that Duka is worth tens of millions and is a second-generation rich man."

Joaquin shrugged his shoulders and said.

"The rich second generation? How enviable."

Casey Affleck lamented.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire also nodded.

"Duka is still an athlete."

Shamo Phoenix wearing braces said,

"I heard from Martha and Winona that Duka is also a very good shooter. In the shooting competition held in Los Angeles last month, Duka won three championships. In August, he will go to Germany to participate in the finals and win

World champion, Duka is very, very cool.”

"I've also heard that Duka is very good at playing with guns, and he's also very good at fighting. I heard from Keanu that gangs used to come to the bar to cause trouble, and Duka knocked down dozens of them by himself, and then no one dared to do it again.

If you come to the bar to cause trouble, even the gangsters selling food don’t dare to come in.”

Joaquin said with admiration.

"I told you he's cool, like an action star."

Leonardo shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Yes, if Duca goes into acting, he might be able to become an action star like Schwarzenegger or Bruce Willi, but he is not interested in acting."

Joaquin said.

"It's easy to understand. If I were an athlete and my family was very rich, I wouldn't become an actor."

Casey Affleck laughed.

Several people nodded in agreement.

"Hey~ Jasmine, where is Duka?"

Then they heard a woman talking to Miss Molly Bloom at the door.

"Duka is in the office."

"Okay, I'll go find him."

The woman said hello and turned her charming back to the side.

"Hey~, she looks familiar, like that..."

"Sharon Stone?"

"Yes, that's the beauty Sharon Stone. Her figure is really hot."

Cassie Leonardo and several underage boys said eagerly.

For boys of their age, there is nothing more attractive than a mature female peach figure.

"Bah~, a bunch of perverts!"

Shamo Fenix ​​glanced at a few people with disdain and took the two little sisters to play.

"Stop looking, let's keep playing."

Joaquin said holding the club.

"Hey, Joaquin, do you know what the relationship between Duca and Sharon Stone is?"

Casey Affleck asked with a gossipy face.

Leonardo, Toby, and Maguire also stared at him curiously.

Joaquin scratched his face, he really didn't know this matter.

"I heard from Keanu that Duka is a playboy who can change his girlfriend faster than his clothes. Hey, what do you think their relationship is?"

Joaquin winked and smiled.

"Tsk, I really envy Duka. I want to be a man like him in the future."

Casey Affleck said, clenching his fists.

Leonardo nodded in agreement.

"Duka, how about the script?"

In the office, Sharon Stone crossed her legs and smiled.

After reading the script for a while, Duca nodded. The script in his hand was just brought over by Sharon. It was the famous literary and romantic film "Basic Instinct".

She didn't reveal much in the movie, and the sex scenes weren't as exciting as in pornographic films, but the thrill of being naked was more advanced than pornographic films.

This is also the reason why this drama is such a hit.

Compared to "Scent of a Woman," "Basic Instinct" seems to have performed better at the box office. He remembers that the movie grossed more than $300 million at the global box office.

In 1990, there were only three movies with a global box office of more than 300 million, which means that this movie has a chance to break into the top three at the annual box office.

The investment value is higher than "Scent of a Woman".

But the key question remains, does LV Pictures have the ability to invest in this movie?

"Sharon, has the budget for this movie been made? How much will it cost?"

Duca asked thoughtfully.

"The initial budget is 35 million, with a maximum of 40 million, how about it?"

Sharon Stone asked expectantly.

Duca raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much can Carlock Films produce?"

Carlock Pictures is the producer of this film. Carlock is the strongest independent production company outside of the Big Six in Hollywood. Its representative works are "Terminator 2" and "Total Recall". It is relatively strong.

"Carlock planned to pay half of it, about 20 million. Originally, they planned to produce it exclusively.

It’s just that the content of the script is quite controversial, it will be censored by the Film Association when it is released, and the production cost is too high, so they want to find more investors to share the risk.”

In addition, Carlock Films has launched a new project this year, "The Peak", with an investment of more than 70 million, but the funds are not that sufficient.

Sharon Stone explains.

Duka nodded slightly,

"We can talk!"

"Really? Are you sure?"

Sharon Stone said in surprise.

"Do you want to be the heroine?"

Duca smiled.

"There are many people eyeing the heroine now. If you can invest, I have a great chance of winning this role. Duca, I need your help."

Sharon Stone said helplessly, pretending to be pitiful.

Duca smiled and was about to nod when he suddenly remembered something. If he invested in this movie and let Sharon Stone be the heroine, what should he say so that Monica would not misunderstand?

Headache!
