Made in Hollywood

In a mansion in Beverly Hills, Megan Ellison took the invitation letter sent by Warner Bros., sat on a brand-new rattan chair, opened it, and looked at the opposite side curiously.

"Are you going, David?" she asked her brother.

David Ellison reached for the invitation, and said with some smugness, "Why not?"

"Don't you hate Duke Rosenberg?" Megan Ellison said.

"So, I have to go." David Ellison said naturally, "I would love to see what Duke Rosenberg will look like after he fails at the box office, whether he will look like that disgusting Roger. ? As ugly as Albert."

Megan Ellison just took a sip from the water glass and almost spit it out when she heard this, but thinking about the rumors she heard after entering the USC Film School, she couldn't help but say, "I'm so narrow-minded that I almost got pissed to death. , is really disgusting."

Even if she has just set foot in the film industry, she also despises those professional film critics who want to sell themselves at a high price and pretend to be very pure and aloof.

"I don't just want to see Duke Rosenberg's jokes." David Ellison rarely showed seriousness on his face, "According to my estimation, some of the items in his hands are very important. The value of investment, but under the premise of his continuous success, I have no chance to get involved at all, only by breaking his so-called success myth, Marvel, DC and Warner can accept my investment.”

He went to war with Duke Rosenberg not just for a breath, but for the real interests behind it.

"I think you should throw a party after the first weekend of Batman Hour comes out and invite Duke Rosenberg..."

Speaking of which, Megan Ellison asked. "What are their estimates for the first week of the film?"

"Warner's estimate is $45 million!" David Ellison raised his lips slightly, "The pre-sale is $25 million, but after the Anne Hathaway incident, it simply can't reach this goal. "

"You did a beautiful job." Megan Ellison gave a rare compliment.

David Ellison showed a little smugness, "The media in North America are also commercial companies. How can they be wrong with money."

As long as you are willing to throw money, there is no bottom line when there is quite a lot of media splashing dirty water.

Although the character has inherited the arrogance from Larry Ellison, David Ellison knows very well what his greatest asset is in the relatively unfamiliar film and media circles.

"That's right." Meghan Ellison agreed, "No problem that money can solve."

David Ellison nodded. "The current expenditure is for the future harvest."

The two brothers and sisters said a few more words, and Megan Ellison asked, "I remember that guests invited to the premiere can bring a male or female companion. I'll go with you."

"Are you going?" David Ellison was a little strange.

Megan Ellison put down the coffee cup. "I also want to develop in the film industry, don't forget, I've already entered the USC Film School. As long as I'm old enough to get a trust fund, I'll invest in Hollywood too."

He hesitated a little. David Ellison nodded slowly, "Then let's go together."

With only one day to go before the premiere, the entertainment media in the United States and the entertainment reporters of major media have concentrated on Chicago. The guests who came to the premiere of "Batman: Hour of War" also arrived one after another.

Many of them are old friends of Duke, such as Erin Lauder.

"what is this?"

After welcoming his friend into the living room of the hotel suite, Duke couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw the gift box she handed over, "When did you become so polite to me?"

Like most good friends, the two of them occasionally exchange gifts, but what Erin Lauder gave him in the past were basically men's products from her eponymous series. This gift box is very beautiful, and the contents inside are valuable. Must be expensive.

In particular, Duke felt that this gift box was quite familiar.

Erin Lauder shoved the gift box into Duke's hand and sat on the sofa before explaining, "I'm from Los Angeles, I met Ivanka Trump before I came here, this is She asked me to turn it over to you."

Hearing Irene's words, Duke roughly thought of what it was. He sat opposite her and opened the gift box. As he guessed, there was a Patek Philippe haute couture watch inside. You could see it from any angle. Ivanka's profile portrait on the dial.

This is Duke's gift to Ivanka for her 21st birthday.

The thing returned to his hand, the meaning was very clear, Duke shook his head gently, not surprised, closed the gift box, and handed it to Tina Fei next to him.

"Find an auction to sell it," Duke said directly. "The money will be donated to hungry children in Africa."

Tina Fei took the gift box, opened it and glanced at it, wanting to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

She has a good relationship with Ivanka Trump, but she does everything from Duke's standpoint.

Seeing Tina Fei put away the gift box, for some reason, Duke suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and some of the problems that had plagued him for more than a year also disappeared.

This is a modern society, and the division between men and women has long been part of the social pattern.

"You're single again."

Hearing Erin Lauder's words, Duke also replied, "Don't talk about me, you're not single too."

"I'm busy with work." Erin Lauder shrugged and said, "My career has just passed the most important initial stage. I've been almost a trapeze over the years, so I don't have time to fall in love."

Duke spread his hands, "I'm busy too."

Erin Lauder looked at him, adjusted to a more comfortable sitting position, and said, "For people like us, the cost of falling in love is too high."

After thinking for a while, Duke nodded in agreement, "That's true."

Whether it is Duke's directorship or Erin Lauder's businessman status, time is career and time is money.

"I've seen your plan, and your future is full of work." Irene Lauder said again, "Fortunately, I've passed the busiest stage, and I don't have to fly around as often in recent years."

"There's no way." Duke said helplessly, "Even if I have a mature team, sufficient funds and manpower, it will take a year to make a film, and the time is always not enough for me."

He wants to be as rumored, shooting two to three films a year, and editing a film in ten days or even a week, but is that possible? Is it still a movie made like that?

In that case, the works he directed will only turn into unsightly garbage.

If it weren't for his previous experience, he would not even be able to achieve the speed of one movie a year now.

Hollywood movies, especially high-investment productions, have certain rules, and a lot of work in filming and making movies cannot be completed by a single director.

After chatting for a while, Irene Lauder got up to say goodbye. When Duke brought her to the door, he asked casually, "Walk with me on the red carpet tomorrow?"

"Not interested." Irene Lauder shook her head directly, "I don't want to have an affair with you."

"Good night, rest early."

She waved to Duke and walked out. Duke closed the door and went back to the room to take a shower and go to bed. The phone suddenly rang, and it was Scarlett Johansson.

"Hi, Duke." She was a little confused. "I just got off the plane."

You don't seem to have invited her, do you?

Thinking back, Dukla opened the door and walked to the study where Tina Fey was, and said, "Wait a while, I'll arrange someone to pick you up."

Entering the study, Duke gave the phone to Tina Fey, and by the way threw the problem girl to her to deal with.

Not only the invited guests, but also many movie fans rushed to Chicago. Because "Batman: War Hour" adopted a relatively conservative distribution strategy, it did not show up in advance. Although there were many accidents before, but for Duke For fans of Batman, it is still a blessing to see this film as soon as possible.

As a staunch Duke movie fan, Norman Shearer didn't take Anne Hathaway to heart at all. The other party was just a young actress. Even if she got AIDS in a fool's errand, they would shut down those who like Duke movies. What's up?

He missed the test screening for various reasons, this time from Los Angeles to Chicago, just because "Batman: War Hour" is a Duke? Rosenberger's film!

Unlike it, Brad Miller was not a Duke fan before, or even a movie lover, but the Lord of the Rings trilogy changed all that, making him interested in every Duke film, For this reason, he temporarily turned off his job and flew to Chicago to watch the film in advance.

He always believed that Duke would not let his fans down, just like in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Martial is a standard Batman fan, he had already seen the film's preview, and even so, he still came all the way to Chicago because he felt Batman: War Hour was the best ever. The Batman movie is a masterpiece that can make people willing to come to Chicago.

As a Batman fan, I don't even support such a wonderful Batman movie, so what kind of movie should I support?

A large number of Chicago movie fans are also surging. This is the first time Duke has held a premiere in Illinois. When the noon sun just moved overhead, many movie fans gathered towards the Chicago Classic Theater. The premiere of the film coming soon.

The cheers of movie fans and the clicks of media reporters pressing the shutters of the cameras have drifted to every corner of the city through the high-rise buildings in the city before the premiere ceremony.

On this day, the protagonist of the city of Chicago is no longer the Chicago Bruins, but a giant human-shaped bat! (To be continued ~^~)
