Made in Hollywood

In front of the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, the red carpet was spread far away, and a large number of paparazzi and reporters gathered on both sides, Hollywood stars and celebrities, dressed up one by one, walked on the red carpet in pairs and flashed on the camera. In the mapping, you can show your best side.

This is Warner Bros.'s anniversary party, and it's no less powerful than last month's Oscars.

"Director Rosenberg, is Miss Watts your girlfriend?"

"There have been rumors that Miss Watts got the heroine in "Independence Day" from Nicole Kidman because of your support?"

When holding Naomi Watts on the red carpet, Duke heard a lot of crazy questions from reporters, but he didn't have any interest in answering. In fact, since last year, many tabloids have been hyping him and Naomi Watts. Watts was dating and waiting for gossip, but he never gave any explanation. I am afraid this kind of lace news will continue to appear in the future, so why explain?

Besides, this can also play a certain role in promoting the film.

Because Duke has no interest in dealing with the media, Duke walks through the red carpet faster. Unlike him, Naomi Watts keeps waving to the reporters around him, wishing that all the cameras were aimed at him.

Walking quickly across the red carpet, the two came to the hotel. There were more reporters gathered here. Fortunately, the order was good, and those who passed by would also take photos with their signatures under the background board of Warner Bros.

"Like your friend."

When walking to the photo area, Duke looked at the man and woman with their fingers interlocking, "No wonder it's so lively, it turned out to be the Cruises."

"We haven't seen each other for a long time." Naomi Watts said lightly in Duke's ear.

Turning his head to look at her, Duke immediately figured out what was going on. This is all too common in Hollywood. There are countless examples of so-called best friends who turned against each other because of a character.

"Miss Kidman, Miss Watts..."

Probably a reporter spotted Duke and Naomi Watts and shouted, "I heard you are good friends, can you take a photo together?"

"certainly!"

Nicole Kidman, who was standing in front of the background sign, looked here, with the kindest smile on her face. Without thinking, Naomi Watts released Duke's arm, showing an almost identical smile. , strode over, opened his hands and hugged Nicole Kidman, posing a touching and affectionate pose.

Looking at all this interestingly, Duke also walked over and extended his hand to Tom Cruise with a smile, "Long time no see, Tom."

"Yeah, long time no see."

Though sometimes mindless, Tom Cruise is not stupid, giving Duke a signature smile and a firm squeeze on his hand.

"Let's take a photo together."

Duke looked at the two women holding his arms next to him, and sighed that his acting skills seemed to have improved a lot, and he could play some small roles in movies in the future.

The four of them stood together, like best friends, letting the reporters take pictures, and the incongruous atmosphere in it could only be felt by themselves.

"Congratulations, Nami."

There seems to be an intimate chat next to him, and the words under that bright smile are full of ridicule and hostility, "Now she is the heroine of a big production!"

"You're welcome." Naomi Watts raised her chin without a trace.

After the filming was over, the four turned around and walked into the hotel, just out of the media's sight, as if they had made an appointment, and immediately opened a clear distance, as if they were just strangers who didn't know each other.

But Nicole Kidman's words didn't end. She walked into the elevator room that was temporarily empty. While waiting, she quietly came to Naomi Watts.

"I didn't expect that you would steal my role!" she said in a low voice.

"You told me that in Hollywood, every opportunity cannot be missed." Naomi Watts did not mean to back down.

Nicole Kidman's face didn't change, her mouth was close to Naomi Watts' ear, and she said in a voice only they could hear, "What did you do to get the role? Climb up Duke Rosenberg's bed? Made him great?"

The elevator opened at this time, Duke and Cruise walked in one after another. The two women who stayed behind didn't want to move. Naomi Watts also lowered her voice and retorted, "To stand in Hollywood, Mary, you don't want to move. Climbed into Cruise's bed too? Duke is single, at least I didn't destroy other people's marriages!"

With a slight nod, Nicole Kidman was obviously more bearable than her husband, and walked into the elevator first, followed by Naomi Watts.

The corners of his eyes drifted past the delicate makeup of the two women. Duke knew very well that these two Australian women would definitely be the same in the future. In front of the media are best friends and good sisters, but behind them are dead enemies. .

Then again, the competition between first- and second-tier actresses in Hollywood is extremely fierce, and only fools believe that there will be so-called friendship between them.

With a soft sound of "ding", the elevator door opened. Before Tom Cruise and his wife could make a move, Dukla took Naomi Watts out first, and turned out of the elevator to the door of the grand banquet hall. , the people from Warner Bros. immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Hi, Duke."

"Hi Jeff. Hi Kevin."

Walking into the banquet hall, Duke shook hands with several senior executives of Warner Bros., while the Cruises, who followed behind him, were temporarily in a state of being ignored.

Nicole Kidman looked at the executives of Warner Bros. and other studios who greeted Duke Rosenberg and Naomi Watts warmly in front of him, feeling the hand holding her getting tighter and stronger. Getting bigger and bigger, not only frowning slightly, but in recent years, the couple has never been treated so coldly, and with Cruise's temperament, I'm afraid they are already burning with anger.

"Tom, calm down!" she reminded in a low voice.

She believed that if no one reminded Tom Cruise, he would turn around and walk away, not himself, but also Nicole Kidman.

"If his next movie fails, these guys will..."

Vaguely, Nicole Kidman heard what her husband seemed to be talking to himself in a low voice, and the hand holding her was stronger, she felt the pain obviously, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "Tom , you hurt me!"

Tom Cruise gave her a cold look and dropped her hand.

When Duke walked towards the center of the banquet hall after socializing with the people at Warner, he glanced back and saw Tom Cruise's face gloomy and Nicole Kidman's pretty face tense, as if the husband and wife were having a conflict... …

Under the guidance of Warner's staff, Duke and Naomi Watts came to a small table in the center of the front row, shook hands with the person who reached out to the side, and sat on two adjacent tables. on the seat.

"What did you say to Nicole Kidman?"

When he was idle and bored, Duke couldn't help but gossip, "When he was outside the elevator."

"She laughed at me..."

Naomi Watts didn't seem to care, and whispered, "I got the role in Independence Day because I made you feel good in bed."

Duke shrugged and said nothing, which, strictly speaking, was not wrong.

"Isn't she the same?" Naomi Watts continued, squinting at Duke, "If she hadn't ruined Tom Cruise's marriage, would she have been able to get a foothold in Hollywood?"

Listening to Naomi Watts' words with a trace of resentment, Duke could roughly guess that it was definitely not the first time that the two had fought tit-for-tat.

Sure enough, without waiting for Duke to ask anything, Naomi Watts added, "After the "Independence Day" audition results came out, she spread the news in the Australian actor circle, saying that I disregarded the friendship and the help she once gave me, her role."

"The whole Aussie gang is rejecting me now!" She looked back at where Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise sat, "and she ruined one of my auditions!"

"Don't care too much." Duke thought for a while and reminded her, "It's not good for your career to care too much about some personal grievances."

Competition in Hollywood is everywhere. If you want to climb to the top, it can be said that there are enemies and competitors everywhere. If you focus on fighting with these people, you will only achieve nothing in the end.

Obviously, Naomi Watts was mentioned by Nancy Josephson, she withdrew her hateful gaze, raised the wine glass in front of her, touched Duke's glass, and drank it.

"Hi, Duke."

There was a warm greeting from the side, and Duke stood up to take a step forward, "Nice to meet you, Townsend."

The person who came to say hello was the current CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, Townsend Rothman, who temporarily sat at this table after Duke made a gesture of please.

"How is the later stage of the film?" He naturally asked "Independence Day".

"all the best."

The post-production delay of the film was quite long. Because of waiting for special effects production, Duke's work was not as intense as the first two times. "It will definitely be completed on time in June."

"The good news that Fox is waiting for you." Townsend Rothman smiled very brightly, as if the film had already sold out, "I believe this will be a successful cooperation like "Speed ​​of Life"."

"I believe that too."

Seeing Townsend Rothman preparing to leave, Duke stood up to shake his hand and watched the helm of Twentieth Century Fox go away.

"In just a few years, you have become a popular director in the eyes of the film company." Naomi Watts next to her spoke with admiration, "You are already a successful person in Hollywood, Duke."

"thanks."

Just nodding to Naomi, Duke found that two more people came over. The middle-aged Jewish person walking in front was Robert Solomon, the executive vice president of Warner Bros., and behind him, he was about to forget— —Rick Solomon!
