Made in Hollywood

Jessica Alba seemed to have something to hide, pursed her lips a few times, but said nothing.

The crew is about to enter the screening room. This is a good time to show the sisterhood. Michelle Rodriguez pulled her into the corner and asked with great concern, "Jessie, it's not good to walk in like this. ."

With the help of Michelle Rodriguez's strong body, Jessica Alba couldn't bear it any longer. She reached in with one hand from the high slit of the dress, and scratched it a few times, her sweet face. She showed her relaxed enjoyment, and it seemed that the troubles that plagued her had been largely relieved.

Michelle Rodriguez's eyes lit up immediately. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that Jessica Alba would not be stupid enough to comfort herself here, not to mention that the other party likes to play crazy and has always had a male companion.

"not……"

Born in the chaotic Latin community, Mitchell Rodriguez had seen similar situations in other women, and immediately had a guess in his heart.

Immediately, another thought popped into my mind. If the guess is true, wouldn't it be a good chance to squeeze out Jessica Alba's ascendance?

However, Michelle Rodriguez didn't want to take too much risk. After all, the other party was introduced by James Cameron.

She thought about it for a while, and then asked with concern, "Jessie, is it uncomfortable down there?"

Jessica Alba was about to shake her head, but thinking of how Michelle Rodriguez took care of her, she nodded slowly, "I don't know what's going on..."

"Jesse, women's problems can't be ignored." Michelle Rodriguez persuaded immediately, "It's better to go to the gynecology department."

"That..." Jessica Alba hesitated.

Michelle Rodriguez showed a reassuring smile, "I have encountered a similar problem, and it was easily solved by going to Desinai Medical Center."

The voices of the two became lower and lower, in the words of Michelle Rodriguez. Jessica Alba kept nodding.

Finally, like the best sisters, the two walked into the screening room next to each other, and "The Fast and the Furious" was released.

During the screening, Michelle Rodriguez came out for a random reason and went to a lounge on the second floor. I took my phone out of my bag and dialed a number.

"Amir, do you want the best news? You can stay at the Desinai Medical Center these days..."

Hanging up the phone, Michelle Rodriguez couldn't help but put a smile on the corner of his mouth.

At the end of the premiere, Jessica Alba became the focus of media attention with her dazzling vase performance in the film, at a press conference later. She is constantly being asked questions by reporters. This is not comparable to the TV series she starred in. She began to taste the taste of popularity, and even saw the hope of becoming popular in the future.

Although there was a party after that, Jessica went home obediently. Although she likes to play, she also knows that her producer boyfriend is more important.

"Hi dear, I'm back."

Just walked into the apartment. She saw Christopher Rockencourt who was on the phone and immediately sent a sweet kiss. "do you miss me?"

Christopher Rockencourt is back in action...

Despite another tickling below, Jessica Alba didn't turn away Christopher Rockencourt.

After the sun rose, another weekend kicked off and Duke returned to Los Angeles. Originally, he planned to stay in New York for a while to meet his mother who had returned from Europe, but her mother suddenly changed her itinerary and flew directly from Paris to Dubai, and he would not return in a short time, so he left New York ahead of schedule.

When he arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, it was already Friday afternoon. He had just rested for a while when he returned to the Duke Manor when Nancy Josephson came to the door.

"I have an invitation here," Nancy came to the door in such a hurry, there must be something important, "you'd better see it for yourself."

What she handed Duke was a detailed plan, even appending a script.

""Napoleon the Great"?"

Although the reputation of this project is unfamiliar, Duke is not surprised. After all, there are too many Hollywood movies he doesn't know about, but when he sees the production cost budget in it, he can't help frowning.

The production cost is initially planned to be 160 million US dollars!

Has there ever been such a movie? Duke frowned and thought for a while, but didn't have any impression.

However, Duke knew that it was impossible for him to know and remember everything in Hollywood, so he patiently read the plan and the script that followed.

The plan is very detailed. At first glance, it is the handwriting of the first-class producers in the industry. Among them, all kinds of problems of shooting location in France have been considered, and even preliminary solutions have been proposed. The director of the project plan can't find too many faults.

This is simply a perfect project plan.

There are more than 200 pages in the script behind, but after reading it, Duke nodded unconsciously. The script did not select Napoleon the great life, but only intercepted the last fragment of his emperor's career, centered on the Battle of Waterloo, Filled with all kinds of conspiracy calculations and war scenes, it suits his appetite and style very well.

To put it simply, this is not a biographical script, but a typical commercial giant script.

In Hollywood, the value of the script is not high, the key is the plan that goes with the script, which greatly increases the gold content of the script.

Also, this script and the previous plan were tailor-made for him!

He had a feeling that the people who made the plan and wrote the script seemed to have thought about him as a director before they even started, and everything was tailored to his style and appetite.

Every director has his own style, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg have it, Duke is no exception, the person who developed this project has obviously studied him deeply.

Charles Rowan and Robin Grande's plan was just that.

The more he looked at Duke, the more heartbroken he felt. If Napoleon the Great was not French, he would have asked Nancy to contact him first...

But after all, he is a relatively calm person. He closed the crew, thought for a while, and waited for his emotions to stabilize, and he was sure that it would not affect his business judgment before speaking slowly.

"Who brought this?" he asked.

"A producer from France." Nancy Josephson, knowing that Duke had no interest in European films and European filmmakers, immediately explained, "Although he is French, he has actually been in Hollywood for ten years, and has been with many Big-name movie stars and producers are good friends, and it is said that he has invested in some small productions, so he can be regarded as a member of Hollywood.”

"If I want to get this script, what conditions does he have?" Duke knows very well that there is no free lunch in this world.

"First of all, he asked for a joint venture to shoot, and his side should account for at least 40% of the investment and revenue share..."

Hearing what Nancy said, Duke nodded. This is a very normal condition. If the other party does not speak out loudly, but obediently sends the whole project at a low price, then he will definitely consider whether there is some conspiracy behind it.

"Secondly, he has to be a producer, at least one of the most powerful people on the set."

"Any more?"

These are Hollywood conventions that are nowhere near Duke's bottom line.

"Yes." Nancy took the coffee cup that the housekeeper Emma refilled, thanked her, and said, "As a Frenchman, he hopes that the film can be filmed in France and Belgium! The other party also knows your "Lord of the Rings" three The trilogy has not yet been completed, and we can wait for "The Return of the King" to officially start filming, but he wants to use the "Lord of the Rings" and "Matrix"-style models, and start preparatory work as early as possible."

"This condition is not excessive."

The shooting of epic war films is quite tedious, especially for those with real historical figures, it is the safest way to take more than a year to prepare.

"That's all for now, and the specific situation will be discussed slowly in the negotiation."

The other party first is to see if Duke has any intentions. If there is intention, then the follow-up negotiations will discuss each paragraph and each article in detail.

Putting the plan and the outline of the script on the coffee table, Duke crossed his chest with one hand and rubbed his chin with the other, thinking carefully about the feasibility.

The other party's first condition was a bit of a lion's mouth, but it just didn't touch his restricted area. The latter two conditions were completely Hollywood conventions, and this plan was extremely executable no matter how it looked.

Napoleon the Great was a Frenchman, and this was what Duke was most concerned about.

The protagonist of the film is a French and the protagonist is an American. The treatment he enjoys in North America is completely different. Although the overseas market is increasingly profitable, the North American market is the cornerstone of Hollywood. It is impossible for him to ignore the North American market.

Fortunately, Napoleon is too famous, and there should not be too many Americans who do not know him.

"Nancy, what do you think?"

After all, this is a project without any memory, Duke hesitated and asked his agent.

ICM also has a special review department to help its actors and directors select scripts in order to find suitable works for them. Nancy was obviously well prepared before coming. "ICM has done a two-week preliminary review and investigation, and this script is placed by other directors. In your hand, it is A at most, but in your hand, the market prospect is A+!"

Nancy's view was similar, the project was simply tailor-made for Duke.

After speaking, Nancy closed her mouth, she knew how to deal with the biggest client in her name, and she would never make any decision for Duke over the years except for proper advice.

Curling the fingers of his right hand, Duke lightly clasped the armrest of the sofa, his eyes on the plan and script again.

Suddenly, he thought that he had overlooked a question. From the beginning, he was attracted by the plan and script, and even forgot to ask Nancy who the producer was.

Duke turned his head and asked, "Nancy, who is the producer?" (To be continued ~^~)
