Made in Hollywood

"Why are you pulling me to a premiere like this?"

In the VIP lounge, Irene Lauder turned to look at Duke beside him after socializing with a few people who came to say hello, "Have you noticed that many people are looking at us with hostile eyes."

Duke didn't care about those strange eyes at all, and directly ignored the second half of his friend's words, "When I was on the phone yesterday, didn't you say that you were a little bored recently, so I want to bring you over to watch an interesting movie together? ."

"Very interesting?" Irene Lauder rolled her eyes calmly, "Can it be better than your movie?"

Before Duke could answer, someone else came over. It was a middle-aged brown-haired man with a few lines of flesh hanging on his face. His eyebrows were raised so high that they almost reached the top of his forehead, making the whole person look extremely reckless. Even people who don't know him can guess that he must have an arrogant personality.

This person is very famous. Although the wealth is not as good as that of Bill Gates, his fame is definitely not bad.

Looking at the United States, there are really not many people who don't know Larry Ellison, a madman.

"Hello, Duke."

The two had met on other occasions before. After Larry Ellison came over, he simply said hello to him, then turned to look at Erin Lauder, "Is this your new girlfriend?"

Hearing this was not too polite, Irene Lauder frowned slightly, but she was well-bred, and her brows only loosened when she frowned.

The character of the person on the other side is widely known in the United States. Before he could continue, Duke said, "This is Miss Erin Lauder, from the Lauder family. She is my friend."

"Oh……"

Larry Ellison offered his hand. Maybe it's because of the Jewish people, so he changed his tone a little better, "Hello, Miss Lauder, go back and bring me to Mrs. Estee Lauder."

"Thank you." Erin said lightly.

She clearly disliked Larry Ellison's character.

But Larry Ellison didn't come here for Erin. Apparently it was for Duke.

"I heard that you rejected David's investment proposal several times in a row?" The madman said very directly, "Why?"

There was a faint smile on the corner of Duke's mouth. Instead of answering directly, he asked in the same tone, "Larry, if someone suddenly jumps out and wants to invest a lot of money in your company. Would you agree? "

"Why should I agree?" Larry Ellison raised his eyebrows higher. "Do you think I'm short of money?"

"Then you think I'm short of money?" Duke repeated his words.

Hearing this sentence, Larry Ellison's raised eyebrows suddenly fell, the arrogant expression on his face subsided slightly, and his eyes towards Duke became serious.

Although arrogant. Speaking is also particularly rushed, but to become the third-richest super-rich in the United States, and from scratch, Larry Ellison is definitely not a fool.

He immediately remembered that there was more than just a Hollywood director standing across from him!

It was just like him. They all belong to one of the top rich people in North America!

How could a director with a net worth of nearly 10 billion be short of funds for filming. What's more, the other party is a director who has a close relationship with a company like Warner Bros.

Larry Ellison is very clear that some words are useless in front of people at this level. After thinking about it, he looked at Duke. Suddenly he laughed.

"I've seen David's movie, it's amazing." His eyebrows were raised again. "He'll beat you."

Duke has never been someone who can't fight back, and laughed as well, "Larry, is this your opinion?"

"Of course!" Larry Ellison snorted.

"I'm just a film director, and I'm a layman in prophecy." Duke took Erin's hand and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he said, "It's like you're good at software design."

After finishing speaking, he and Irene Lauder walked towards the passageway of the movie hall.

Larry Ellison was stunned for a moment, looked at the backs of the two, and suddenly understood what Duke meant, and snorted again, "I actually said that I'm an amateur in movies, and I'll wait for "Air Combat Heroes" to be released tomorrow. After the scale is released, you will be able to see the outcome of the outcome!"

He believed in the ability of David Ellison, not to mention the support of Michael Ovitz and Walt Disney behind him!

Walking into the theater, Duke and Irene found their seats, and as soon as they sat down, someone came over to say hello.

"Hi, Duke."

"Hi, Ralph."

Duke gave Ralph Fiennes' outstretched hand a light shake.

The other party greeted Erin Lauder very politely, and then turned to look at Duke, "I didn't expect to see you here."

I know this very individual actor because of Liam Neeson's relationship. He is Neeson's friend. When "Hurricane Rescue" and "Batman: War Hour" were filmed, he visited the crew many times.

"I'm here by invitation." Duke replied casually, and then asked, "Why are you here too?"

"My brother Joseph also had a role in it."

After speaking, he took the initiative to change the subject, "Has the North American box office exceeded 100 million for "Batman: Time for War"?"

"It should be over a hundred million," Duke replied.

As of yesterday and Wednesday, the North American box office of "Batman: War Hour" has reached more than 94 million US dollars, and it is almost certain that the North American box office will exceed 100 million US dollars on Thursday.

As the crew of "Air Combat Heroes" entered the theater, Duke and Ralph Fiennes both stopped chatting and turned to look at the crew.

In Duke's eyes, this crew is full of acquaintances. The main actor is James Franco, and the supporting roles include Joseph Fiennes and Jean Reno. Compared with films that generally use war as their selling point, the lineup is not bad. And it has invested more than 100 million US dollars, and the special effects are good enough.

In Hollywood, special effects can best reflect the level of investment of the producer, and excellent special effects need dollars.

The difference between a special effect that costs $10 million and a special effect that costs $30 million is obvious on the big screen.

"It's about to start."

In the front row of the theater, looking at the big screen that gradually lights up, David Ellison's face is full of uncontrollable excitement. This is his career in Hollywood, and it is the first investment and acting in his life. A film will also be his brilliant start!

Although he didn't see Duke Rosenberg in the VIP lounge, David Ellison glanced back, knowing that he had come to the premiere and must be sitting somewhere in the back.

That's fine, let him see with his own eyes how successful he is.

If you can't defeat him in front of your opponent, the pleasure brought by success is bound to be much lower.

Looking back, David Ellison's eyes are on the big screen, and the key moment in his life has been opened.

The big screen lights up, Duke ends his whisper with Erin Lauder, and his eyes are also turned forward, focusing on the film that reflects the aerial battlefields of World War I.

To be precise, he had never seen this film before, he only knew that it was a notoriously bad film, and a bad film could make him remember because the film came from David Ellison's invest.

Anyone who knows Hollywood knows that the emergence of the Ellison brothers and sisters has brought a new change to Hollywood, a change that traditional giants do not want to see.

No one with Hollywood's vested interests wants to see this change, and Duke is certainly one of them.

To a certain extent, he doesn't like the characters of Ellison and his son, just like how he would never like Donald Trump, but rejecting David Ellison at the beginning was more due to a conflict of interests .

As one of the vested interests, Duke certainly doesn't want to see new forces jumping in to share their pie.

However, he said whether "Air Combat Heroes" was successful or not. David Ellison's full confidence is useless. It is precisely the ordinary audience sitting behind them who can really decide the life and death of this film.

Thanks to the powerful publicity platform of Warner Disney, "Air Combat Heroes" has attracted enough attention, at least all the seats at the premiere are full, and many people are also expecting this to be a wonderful air combat film. .

You know, since "Top Gun", there has not been a movie of the air combat genre that can really be recognized by the audience.

Billy Emerson is a person who likes air combat movies very much. Since he noticed the movie "Air Combat Heroes", he was full of anticipation, and specially brought two friends over to attend the premiere together.

"Why don't we go to see Batman: Hour of War?" one of the people was a little dissatisfied, "but to see these antique planes?"

"Didn't you read the preview reviews on the Internet?"

Due to the limitation of age and experience, Billy Emerson, who is under 20, obviously does not know that there is a thing called navy. "Many people are praising this movie, thinking that it will be a cross-era air combat movie."

"is that so?"

The other companion was still a little skeptical, but since he came here, there was no reason to leave, so he couldn't help sitting in his seat, "If the movie is exciting enough, I will start the same as watching "Batman: War Hour" last week. Everyone around me came to see the film."

Is this movie great?

Perhaps the hype on the Internet and other media, perhaps the increasingly older Michael Ovitz thinks the film will be successful, but after only 30 minutes of screening, Billy Emerson has been bored and looked around. The person has almost the same expression as him, it is very impatient, holding back something.

Seeing the old-fashioned biplane, the male protagonist's western cowboy style, and the incomprehensible plot full of mentally retarded sci-fi, Billy Emerson wanted to scold the film for what kind of shit. (To be continued ~^~)
