Made in Hollywood

A blue four-seater luxury sports car crossed the straight road and parked in the parking lot of the Santa Monica Marina District, Duke in a T-shirt, jeans and sneakers, and a white cropped tight shirt and denim shorts Catherine Zeta Jones came out together, which immediately triggered a frantic shooting of many media reporters waiting here.

"It's Duke Rosenberg and the heroine of his new movie "Chicago!"

Although security guards kept reporters out, Duke heard a lot of chatter.

"They're not just the relationship between the director and the heroine, right? In the past month, newspapers and magazines have published a lot of photos of them traveling together."

"Is this playboy ready to find a formal girlfriend?"

"There are many examples of directors and actresses falling in love because of filming and then coming together."

Hearing these words, Duke knew that he and Zeta Jones would definitely appear in a lot of gossip media tomorrow, but although the two were happily joking, they did not hold hands according to the predetermined plan. The release is still early, and the most exciting news should be reserved for the critical moment.

Since the Oscars, the two have appeared together in public. This is just a fake romance used to promote the film. Yes, but there must always be some foreshadowing. Otherwise, when the film is about to be released or after it is released, so-called men and women will suddenly explode. Friendships, as long as people who are not too stupid, must be able to see the problem, which will affect the actual effect.

Duke has also seen typical cases in this regard. For example, Jennifer Lawrence, the representative of the new generation of actresses, suddenly fell in love with the beast Nicholas Holt while filming "X-Men: First Class", and the film screening ended. , the two parted like lightning. And when the filming of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" was over, the two suddenly got back together again. The film broke up again a few days after the North American release, and even a fool could see that there was a problem.

Using gossip between directors and actors, actors and actors, and even actors and other important employees to make a fuss about publicity has a long history in Hollywood.

This is not an industry that can be measured with normal thinking and vision.

"You really want to buy a yacht?"

Step into the specially controlled quayside. The surroundings immediately became much quieter. Zeta Jones put on the sunglasses that he had taken off because he had to cooperate with the reporter's filming, and asked, "Buy a big one?"

"Big guy? No, no, my house is just a small dock, and the big guy will run aground."

Look ahead. The Santa Monica marina area and Duke's memory have changed a bit. On most of the berths, the old yachts are gone, replaced by brand new yachts, some of which are deep water berths. And big guys hundreds of feet long.

Such yacht exhibitions are held almost every year in the Greater Los Angeles area. Hollywood celebrities can be said to be the most important clients invited by the exhibition. Compared with some stingy business elites, Hollywood stars with low overall cultural quality and cultivation. They prefer a daughter of Zheng, and some even don't hesitate to borrow a lot for this.

"Welcome. Director Rosenberg, Miss Jones."

As soon as I walked into the exhibition area delimited by the wharf, someone came over to check the invitation letter. The reporter was one of the most unwelcome existences on this occasion. After the Dukes were identified, the executive, who apparently had a certain status, asked, "Do you need us to provide you with service personnel?"

"Let's see for ourselves first."

Duke shook his head, stepped on the freshly painted ground, and motioned for Zeta Jones, who was looking around curiously, to follow, and walked to the berthing area of ​​the trestle that extended into the sea. There were not many people coming and going here, after all, luxury yachts This kind of thing is not a general consumer product, and the exhibition will definitely set the entry threshold.

During the period, Duke also met a few people who were working hard in Hollywood, but the two sides were not familiar with each other, just nodded and greeted each other.

"Hi, Duke here."

There was a sound of greeting from the place just passed, and Zeta Jones immediately came over and said, "It's the Cruises."

Duke turned and walked over with Zeta Jones, greeting the two, "Tom, Mary, you're late."

"There was a delay on the way."

Nicole Kidman explained when she shook hands with Zeta Jones, Tom Cruise held the railing on the edge of the trestle, looked at the slightly swaying sea, and asked. "Duke, are you interested?"

"I just arrived too." Duke raised his head and parked on this berth, a big guy, "I haven't had time to take a closer look."

"Why don't you come and see this one?"

Tom Cruise is obviously here for this big guy. Now the two sides are in the honeymoon period of cooperation, Duke has no intention of rejecting, "Then go up and have a look together."

Duke and Tom Cruise in the front, Nicole Kidman and Zeta Jones in the back, boarded the yacht together. Cruise's face is the best sign, and the receptionist immediately greeted him. After coming up, after a few words, a middle-aged man dressed as the person in charge came to replace the reception staff and led the four of them around the yacht.

This yacht belongs to the top British yacht company Sunsk. It can be transported to Los Angeles, where celebrities and rich people are gathered, and is also favored by Tom Cruise. It can be said that it is the most dazzling pearl in the Sunsk series yachts. The yacht has More than 120 feet long, the four-deck structure provides unparalleled luxury and sophistication. The level of design, performance, interior and other aspects has reached a considerable height, and it has reserved for the individual requirements of customers. Huge space.

On the top deck, standing high, Tom Cruise looked into the distance, "What do you think, Duke?"

"Not bad." Duke looked at Zeta Jones, who had been whispering with Nicole Kidman, and patted the guardrail by his hand, "Tom, did you like it?"

Cruise didn't answer, but instead asked, "How about you?"

Duke shook his head. "It's too expensive and too long for me. The dock at my house can't hold it."

This was heard by Nicole Kidman next to her. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you going to be short of money?"

"I just invested an additional $5 million in "Chicago"." Duke shrugged, rather helplessly, "The $25 million came from Duke's studio, which is me personally, and I don't have much budget to spend right now. on the yacht."

The filming progress of "Chicago" was not smooth, and it also increased the loss of funds. Duke could only make additional investment.

This luxury yacht of more than 120 feet cannot be bought without ten million dollars. For him now, it is still too extravagant, and he will not put a lot of money in this luxury for the time being. .

"I'm going to talk to the people from Sansk."

Tom Cruise went to the aft section of the deck to find the person in charge who had stayed there on purpose, as if he really wanted to buy this yacht.

"Tom is tempted?" Duke asked Nicole Kidman.

After arranging her long hair that had been ruffled by the wind, Nicole Kidman turned to look at Cruise, "The last time he went to Europe, he was optimistic about this yacht."

"How about you?" she asked Duke and Zeta Jones. "Any general goals?"

As if asking about his own family affairs, Zeta Jones pointed to the small yacht exhibition area on the left front, where there are small yachts of dozens of feet long, suitable for offshore use, "Our target is there, fifty feet. length within."

Tom Cruise was obviously very tempted by this yacht, and it seemed that he planned to have a detailed discussion with the other party. Duke chatted with Nicole Kidman for a while, and simply said goodbye and took Zeta Jones to the small yacht exhibition area. I have seen three brands of Bytam in the United States, Beneteau in France and Wally in Italy, and I also came across two interesting models.

Afterwards, Duke and the two embarked on a sport-type offshore sport fishing yacht owned by the British Princess Company. The yacht was not large, just over forty feet. It took him about half an hour to look inside and out. Once again, the princess's staff has been following the side, knowing that Duke is a potential customer, and also made some introductions.

"Princess has always adhered to the principle of comfort first, and we have carefully considered the layout." This person is quite self-proclaimed. "The iconic lines and exquisite interior design of the yacht are the top configuration in the same class."

Duke raised his hand to interrupt the salesperson, and Zeta Jones waved to the other person in coordination, signaling him to step aside first.

Among the small yachts he has seen, Duke is the most satisfied with this one, and he has also learned about Princess Yachting in advance.

As a model of the world's top luxury yachts, Princess Yachts perfectly combines modern shipbuilding technology with traditional handcraft.

The layout of the cabin space is also where Princess Yachts is best at. With the advanced design technology and years of experience, Princess Yachts has always been far ahead in terms of interior space design with the same hull length.

Constrained by the length of the yacht, the cabin is not large, but the modern-style furniture settings not only ensure the openness of the space, but also give people the greatest degree of aesthetic enjoyment; the design of the deck and the helm is smooth, dynamic and fashionable, and the design of the seats It ensures a wide field of vision and makes people feel comfortable; the precise instrument layout allows the driver to fully experience the pleasure of high-speed galloping at sea.

I don't know when, the salesman came over again and said at the right time, "Every yacht of the princess has to go through several sailing tests before it is handed over to its owners, so as to ensure that its owners can have the best yachts. , the safest sailing experience.”

Looking at this guy, Duke winked at Zeta Jones, walked out of the cabin, and got off the yacht directly.

"You seem satisfied?"

Stepping on the wooden trestle, Zeta Jones shook off his short-medium black hair, which was ruffled by the sea breeze, "Did you just choose it?" (To be continued ~^~)
