Made in Hollywood

At the end of the meeting, Duke didn't stay much longer, exchanged a few more words with Doug Walter, then joined Tina Fey and walked outside the building.

The two walked into the elevator room, and while waiting for the elevator, Duke remembered something and said, "Tina, remember to inform Nancy and let her see if ICM has a sexy body, a beautiful appearance, and a certain acting foundation. Young actresses, preferably no more than twenty-two..."

Tina Fey took out a small notebook from her bag and wrote it down quickly.

She knew it had to be a matter of work, not her boss wanting to go back to the way she used to be.

Having said that, as long as Duke thinks about it, how many people, including Hollywood's first-line actresses, will reject him?

The elevator door opened, Duke walked in first, and after Tina Fey came in, he said, "Let Nancy sort out the documents and send them over when I finish my vacation."

"I think Nancy would be very happy to do it." Tina Fey put away the book and smiled. "Her company seems to have signed a few new actresses and has been selling to various crews recently."

Duke nodded, since there is an opportunity, this kind of opportunity must give priority to the people around him.

From the initial signing to the present, Nancy Josephson can be said to be a very competent agent, and has never done anything against him.

The elevator door opened, Duke walked out, quickened his pace a little, and soon came to the front hall of the building. Tina Fey, as usual, was a little behind, and followed closely behind.

Just after walking past the front desk, Tina Fey's phone rang. After she answered, she said, "Charles' phone. He's also at Warners and has something to talk to you about."

"Tell him we'll be waiting for him in the lounge in the front hall."

After finishing speaking, Duke walked towards the resting place on the right, chose a small round table with no one, and sat next to it. After Tina Fey came over, she sat opposite.

Behind Duke, a tall and slender girl suddenly turned her head. She first looked at Tina Fey curiously, and then her eyes fell on Duke's back. After a few seconds of hesitation, she stood up and walked away. come over.

"Hello. Director Rosenberg..."

Like a big Barbie doll, she stretched out a hand with a smile on her face.

Turning his head, Duke glanced at her and, as always, stood up politely. He gently shook her hand quite politely, "Hello, Miss Swift."

"Taylor."

The girl's voice sounded sweet. "Call me Tyler."

"Hello. Tyler."

Seeing her eyes turn curiously to Tina Fey, Duke introduced casually. "This is my assistant, Miss Tina Fey."

"Hello, Tina." She shook hands with Tina Fey again and said smartly. "I heard Nancy mention you."

When she said this, Duke suddenly remembered that he had seen her at the premiere of "The Dark Knight" and seemed to be a new client Nancy Josephson had recently signed.

"May I call you Duke?"

This girl is quite smart and didn't do anything excessive, just said succinctly, "Originally I only liked the type of movie "Love Actually", but after watching "The Dark Knight" last time, I realized that action sci-fi movies can be like this Interesting, I specially found all your previous movies, and I have watched a few..."

"Thank you." Duke said flatly.

"It's a pity that I'm too busy with work, and I'm about to release a new album..." She looked regretful, "I have too little leisure time. I'm afraid I have to watch it for a long time before I can watch all your videos."

A blond woman came across, Taylor Swift gave a sweet smile, "My mother is here, I should go to Warner Records, goodbye Duke, goodbye Tina."

"Goodbye." Duke nodded to her.

Taylor Swift moved her long legs, joined the middle-aged woman, and quickly disappeared at the door of the elevator.

"Are all girls like this now?" Tina Fey looked over there. "So smart at such a young age?"

"How do people who aren't smart enough and have no scheming make their mark in this circle?" Duke laughed. "Even if you are lucky enough to succeed, you may become the second Britney Spears."

How many people still think Britney Spears can be the next Madonna Ciccone?

Duke has dealt with Madonna, and although the other party's private life is eroded to the point of jaw-dropping, his IQ and emotional intelligence are far above the average.

Thinking of this, he also turned to look at the elevator. At the turn of the century, Madonna Ciccone, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston had four pop queens in North America. Because of skin color, nationality and popularity, Madonna Cicconi is a well-deserved eldest sister.

Becoming the next Madonna is undoubtedly the goal of all female singers.

It was not Britney Spears, but Taylor Swift, who had really come close to this goal. In order to achieve this goal, she not only went out of the village, but also came up with various methods.

The team behind her must have played a key role, but her own ability should not be underestimated. Otherwise, if Britney Spears makes so many messes, even if the team behind Duke supports her, Not much effect.

After Charles Rowan came over, Duke put these things aside, and an ordinary female singer didn't deserve his attention.

"What's up?"

Looking at his partner, Duke couldn't help but wonder, "So anxious?"

"I just want to say hello to you as soon as possible." Charles Rowan looked at him and said with a smile, "I'm going to take a long vacation for myself, I've been really tired these past few years, Duke, your new work A new production manager is needed."

"How long are you going to rest?" Duke frowned.

Although Charles Rowan looks very inconspicuous in the crew, this is exactly the way a successful production manager should do things. On the set, he must maintain the director's authority.

For so many years, Duke was also used to handing over all the chores of the crew to Charles Rowan. Without him, the crew would have no problem, but he felt that there would definitely be some awkwardness.

"A year." Charles Rowan thought for a while, then said, "Duke, it's been fifteen years since we first worked together, you must have overlooked one thing, I'm sixty years old, and some I can't keep up with you."

Several times throughout Hollywood, how many directors can basically maintain the production of one movie a year? And almost all of them are big investments and big productions.

These films, from preparation to shooting to post-production, required too much work from Charles Rowan.

"Since last year, I have felt less energetic than before."

With a long sigh, Charles Rowan pointed to his slightly haggard face, "Give me some time to rest."

No one can compete with the laws of nature. Duke understood this and nodded slowly, "Then I'll wait for you to come back."

Then Duke frowned, Charles Rowan wanted a long vacation, and Robin Grande was in London in charge of the Harry Potter series, and he needed a new production manager.

After working with Duke for so many years, Charles Rowan roughly guessed what he was thinking, and suddenly turned to Tina Fey and said directly, "Duke, I recommend Tina to take my place."

"Me?" Tina Fei was stunned for a moment.

Duke also turned to look at Tina Fey, then nodded slowly.

Since more than ten years ago, Tina Fei has been working with him on the crew. She has accumulated countless experiences over the years, and there is no problem at all in terms of qualifications and abilities.

Another important point is that Duke Studio has been acquired by Time Warner in exchange for shares, and Tina Fey has fewer affairs to manage on Duke’s behalf. Although the negotiations with Google on instant sharing have not signed a formal agreement, they have basically been reached. Consistent, the remaining trivial matters do not have to be dealt with by her.

"I think so."

Hearing Duke's words, Tina Fey had to spread her hands and said, "Since the boss has spoken, I can only try to do it."

"Don't worry now." Duke stood up. "It's still a while before the new project is ready."

Charles Rowan also stood up and joked, "I'm going to start my own long vacation, but unfortunately your yacht hasn't been built yet, otherwise, I can sail around the world with my family."

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future." Duke patted Charles Rowan's arm lightly, "This time next year, you will be able to fulfill your wish to sail around the world."

Both planes and yachts take time to build, and it's far from being delivered.

Walking out of the building, Charles Rowan remembered one more thing, "When I came back from London, Bell had been released on bail, and there should be no trouble."

"I see."

Duke didn't seem to care.

During the promotion of "The Dark Knight" in London, Christian Bale had a problem. He had a physical conflict with his sister and mother. The latter two reported the police and called the police. The people from New Scotland Yard took Bale away, but His lawyer and the crew have come forward to make bail.

In fact, Duke is very clear that behind many Hollywood stars, there are a group of superb family members.

Such as Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears' father, Julia Roberts' unreliable brother...

This is just a small matter and will not have much impact on The Dark Knight. Compared with the negative news of Bell, the British gang composed of a large number of actors in this film has attracted more attention from British fans.

The Dark Knight faces a pretty grim form this new weekend, though, with Sony Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man 3 set to release simultaneously in 107 countries, including North America. (To be continued ~^~)
