The content of this battle is the "cheating door" incident that has been lost by countless media crazes.

In fact, everyone in the circle knows that the private lives of male and female celebrities are in chaos, and Xiao Ke is unfortunately arrested and is in a mess. Of course, the media's hype is not accidental, but the result of a series of behind-the-scenes operations.

No matter from which perspective, Robert Pattinson has the upper hand in his girlfriend's stolen incident. In contrast, Christine Stewart is not so lucky. Not only is the accusation from the outside almost overwhelmed her, but in the behind-the-scenes competition, her public relations team can only be described as defeat. The public relations steps are in a mess, resulting in all kinds of negative news flying all over the sky.

The most cruel thing is that Pany Kellis kept releasing news to the public, saying that Christine Stewart was crying all day long, sending text messages to Robert Pattinson every day, asking for forgiveness, even if it was just an ordinary friend...

This is equivalent to repeatedly emphasizing to the public that the woman’s affair is indeed true, and the real victim is the man.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a very clever public relations strategy. It seems to be sympathizing with Christine Stewart, but in fact it is stabbing the other party.

That's right, this is the circle of fighting for fame and fortune. Once upon a time, boyfriend and girlfriend can draw their swords to each other. The seemingly simple thing is often full of conspiracy and shady scenes. If someone imagines Hollywood as a circle where everyone loves and helps each other, it's the funniest joke.

This is also the reason why Duke is willing to spend a lot of money to hire public relations. He is not an omniscient and versatile genius. His main energy must be focused on film production. Other professional matters naturally have to be left to professionals.

Although the two sides reached a certain consensus verbally, Duke would not sign the contract so quickly, and some indirect investigations and understanding were also essential. Just like investing in movies, this is not something that can be decided by just browsing your head.

After returning from France, Duke set aside five days off for himself, mainly for handling some private matters.

The candidates for assistant and public relations were initially determined. Duke went directly to Malibu the next day, and after meeting Nancy Josephson, he rushed to the manor in the beach mansion.

The decoration of the manor has always been supervised by Nancy. It was completed last month. Walking into the villa, stepping on the brand new floor, standing in front of the newly renovated glass floor-to-ceiling window, Duke looked into the distance, the Pacific sea was blue, and it was as quiet as a sleeping baby, occasionally turning over. It would bring waves.

"When are you going to move in?" Nancy Josephson also walked over.

“You also need to buy furniture…”

Looking back at the empty living room, Duke frowned, "There are appliances, oh, god! It seems that there is still a lot of work to do!"

"Because there is a mistress here!" Nancy obviously did it on purpose, "Otherwise you don't have to worry at all."

hostess?

Duke shook his head. Now he didn't have such an idea at all. It was to make himself uncomfortable. Even if he found a temporary hostess, it would not take long to replace it. Then wouldn't the newly bought decorations become garbage?

Although money is no longer a problem for him now, he can be extravagant but not wasteful due to his mother's influence.

“Don’t there be any good recommendations for the decoration company?”

Going out of the living room, Duke walked up the stairs leading to the second floor. He said to Nancy who followed, "If they have a suitable recommendation, leave it to them to pack and handle it."

Nancy nodded and wrote down, "I will let them pass the renderings as soon as possible."

He walked around the entire estate. Although he put forward many adjustments in details, Duke was still very satisfied with the overall situation. Just like his home in Santa Monica, the estate hid behind tall evergreen trees, looking luxurious and elegant and restrained.

“Dispose furniture and other things as soon as possible.”

As he walked towards the outdoor parking lot, Duke said to Nancy, "Help me find a suitable party company. If you move, you will definitely hold a party."

"Leave it to me." Nancy had no objection.

Duke is her biggest funder now, and Nancy has never been so grateful that she was able to bite the bullet and sign a very annoying young director who had too many requests.

"Oh, and..."

Before getting on the car, Duke suddenly remembered something, but then waved his hand to the puzzled Nancy, "Forget it, I'd better go find my mother to help."

Such a large manor cannot only hire temporary housekeeping personnel, and it must be necessary to have a matching management and service team. Moreover, for people like him who work hard in Hollywood, these people must be reliable, so it is better to ask their mother to introduce them.

Drive out of the manor, Duke went straight to PwC's office in Los Angeles to find his accountant David. He had many financial problems and was waiting for him to sign and confirm.

After the New Year, Duke's compensation on Independence Day came one after another. Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox obviously wanted to work with him for a long time, and did not wait until the last date of the contract to pay a part of the share.

Among them, 20th Century Fox, as the North American publisher of "Independence Day", officially paid off all the director's share of Duke last month after the film was removed from North America.

The film's North American box office was as high as $362.55 million. According to the step-by-step share agreement, Duke could take 20% of it. Excluding the $30 million that Fox had paid, the remaining $42.51 million was settled.

Overseas, the overseas box office of the film has exceeded US$500 million, which automatically triggers the 20% share clause in the contract. However, some overseas share has not yet been paid, and some will not be paid for the time being after the account is received. Warner Bros. just took out a box office share amount of US$200 million and paid US$40 million at the end of last month.

Even if it is placed in Hollywood where top directors and actors can participate in the share, this is a sky-high reward.

Of course, compared to the reward Spielberg received on Jurassic Park, it was not the same level at all.

The subsequent remuneration will come from overseas box offices. If Duke wants to get it, he still needs to wait patiently. It would be great if he can settle it completely at this time next year.

The global box office of "Independence Day" has now exceeded the $900 million mark, reaching $91.13 million. Although the film has been lowered from all the ticket markets, there are still remote overseas regions that have just been released. No one can tell whether it can surpass the box office of "Jurassic Park" in the end.

After negotiating with David, Duke called his stock broker again and planned to take out some of the funds he had gained in the near future and invested in the stock market. Of course, the stock price of the latter is very popular. It can only be said that the amount you buy is as much as you want. The stock price of the former is still falling all the way, without any rebound momentum.

However, "Toy Story" has been confirmed to be released on Thanksgiving Christmas, and Mr. Qiao is about to rise again.

Duke did not intend to rely on these short-term profits, but just to preserve value and appreciate value. Regardless of the stock broker's strong opposition, it forced the other party to turn cash into corresponding stocks in the future.

Similarly, he will not blindly trust anyone, and there will be no less supervision measures he should have.

It was not until the evening that Duke planned to leave PwC's office in Los Angeles, left David's office, and when he walked into the elevator, he met an unexpected person.

"Sophie..." Duke raised his eyebrows and walked over, "Why are you here?"

Sophie Marceau was wearing a neat suit and turned her head. When she saw it was Duke, she showed a bright but formulaic smile, "Come here to deal with my accountant."

"I mean, when did you come to Los Angeles?" Duke could feel her politeness to herself. "Sophie Marceau, who is loved by the whole world, came to Los Angeles. How could I not entertain myself as a Los Angeles?"

"My new movie is about to be released." Sophie Marceau seemed to be deliberately reminding, "I have to come and cooperate with the crew to do some publicity work."

Duke seemed to have not understood and invited him bluntly, "Don't you know the honor of treating you to supper?"

"tonight?"

After hesitating for a moment, Sophie Marceau shook his head slowly but firmly, "Sorry, Duke, I have something to do tonight."

The elevator door opened at this time, and the two walked in one after another. Duke looked at the mature and sexy French beauty next to him and continued to ask, "What about tomorrow? Can I take you to visit Los Angeles?"

The more you can't get something, the more you can often arouse people's interest. Duke is just one of ordinary people, so naturally no exception.

"Sorry, Duke." Sophie Marceau also looked at him and said extremely seriously, "I'm already married!"

"It's just an invitation between friends." Duke smiled indifferently. Since the other party was unintentional, he wouldn't stick to it. "Then wait until you have time."

The elevator door opened, Duke nodded to Sophie Marceau, walked out of the elevator without any nostalgia, and walked towards his car.

Looking at Duke's back as he walked away, Sophie Marceau did not hesitate and walked in the opposite direction. While his feet were moving quickly, the light of thinking flashed in his dreamy eyes.

It is necessary to make friends with a Hollywood director. Sophie Marceau knew clearly, and even as the other party thought, what happened was no big deal for her, but she decided to stay away from the young director.

The reason is very simple. She is about to sign a contract with Caa. Her future agents will be dominated by Martin Bob. Even if she has not yet fully entered Hollywood, Sophie Marceau also understands Duke Rosenberg and Caa. To be precise, she has a very bad relationship with Martin Bob and others.

She knew that it was not easy for foreign actors in non-English speaking areas to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Compared to Duke Rosenberg, who mainly shoots men's scenes, Caa is more powerful and more suitable for her future development.

Which choice is suitable for your needs? Sophie Marceau thought very thoroughly. Now her biggest reliance in Hollywood is the caa she is about to sign! (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
