The banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel was crowded with people. Due to time constraints, few people from Australia, far away in Hollywood, came here. However, some local celebrities in Sydney were invited by Warner Bros. Australia branch, and many Hollywood stars who were filming films in Sydney also entered the hotel one after another.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are one of them, one of them filmed Mission Impossible 2 on Fox set and the other is on vacation in Sydney.

"Hi, Kate."

"Hi, Nicole."

Seeing Duke standing, the two immediately walked over, and Nicole Kidman was obviously very familiar with Cate Blanchett.

Without going to see the two intimate women who looked like sisters, Duke and Tom Cruise stood together and asked, "The shooting should be almost over?"

“It’s only two weeks to switch to post-production.”

Speaking of this, Tom Cruise said with a little thankful look, "Duke, I want to thank you for your advice."

"Hmm?" Duke didn't quite understand.

"Thank you for suggesting me to start the sequel to "Mission: Impossible" and reject "Eye-opening." Tom Cruise glanced at Nicole Kidman next to him, and turned his eyes back, "Stanley Kubrick died of illness and did not complete his last movie."

"What a pity."

Although he said this, Duke was not at all interested in Stanley Kubrick and didn't respond particularly when he heard the news, "So Tom, you made a wise choice, a choice that is beneficial to us."

"What to choose?" Cate Blanchett asked suddenly.

She and Nicole finished their smiles and smiled and returned to Duke and Tom Cruise respectively.

"Of course it's a movie." Duke turned and smiled at her, "How could we leave the movie when we talk about?"

He briefly explained a few words to Cate Blanchett, and the atmosphere between the two seemed extremely harmonious.

At this time someone came over to say hello. Duke and Tom Cruise exchanged a few words with others. After sending them away, Cruise turned the topic to the sequel to "Mission Impossible".

"The director you recommended is very good." He seemed quite satisfied with Wu Baige. "His gun battle scene. Especially the double guns designed are very distinctive, and I like them very much. I feel that the box office performance of this film..."

Duke didn't feel strange when he heard Tom Cruise's praise for Wu Baige. After the training of "Broken Arrow" and "Face Change", Wu Baige's grasp of Hollywood became clearer. To put it bluntly, Tom Cruise's temperament is more in line with his requirements. To a certain extent, it is also closer to the cool and handsome actor of a certain actor named Zhou.

Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible 2" can be said to be a super enhanced version of the actor named Zhou.

"Duke, Wu's agent is in contact with my production company."

Tom Cruise is still continuing the topic just now, "He wants to win a director contract for Mission Impossible 3 for Wu."

"What do you mean, Tom?" Duke asked back.

He holds nearly half of the copyright of the video. If he doesn't nod his head, it's impossible to establish a project in "Mission Impossible 3", let alone confirming the director.

Nicole Kidman pulled Cruise for a moment and suddenly spoke up and took the conversation, "Patet thinks he is not suitable. Wu's style is too distinct and can easily cause aesthetic fatigue, and..."

Although the following sentence was not said, Duke could understand the meaning. There are small circles in any big circle, the difference between region, skin color, etc. It is not possible to completely offset the number of movies that are just a few slogans or just a few successful movies.

"Tom, this film has not been completed yet, my opinion." Duke thought for a moment and said, "This matter is temporarily put on hold. If the film is successful, Wu will definitely not have few invitations. We also have time and opportunity to observe his subsequent development."

This is the safest way, and Tom Cruise has no intention of objecting.

After talking about "Mission Impossible", Tom Cruise and his wife went to socialize elsewhere. Duke also took a walk in the banquet hall, greeted the guests briefly, and then found Cate Blanchett sitting at the small dining table, and walked over again.

"You don't have to stay with me."

Seeing Duke sitting opposite him, Cate Blanchett said, "I like quietness, just sit here."

"You are the protagonist tonight." Duke said looking at her.

Blanchett smiled slightly and immediately changed the topic, "When I first arrived in Hollywood, I heard many people in the circle mention that you and Cruise..."

"That was before." Duke was going to have two glasses of champagne and toast with Blanchett. "It's good for me and him to cooperate now, and those little conflicts are not a problem."

"What if it was Mel Gibson?" Blanchett asked casually.

Duke put down his wine glass and looked at Blanchett, as if he wanted to see what she said clearly.

Cate Blanchett quickly said, "Duke, I have no other intentions, but suddenly I thought of Mel Gibson. When I got off the plane and went home yesterday, I saw him far away near the community."

"Oh?" Duke asked with interest, "I haven't heard from him for a long time. Do you know what he is doing recently?"

"I've heard people mention it." Cate Blanchett recalled, saying, "He couldn't get any film appointments in Hollywood, and he didn't even want to use him in B-level and independent films, so he had to go back to Australia temporarily and occasionally appear on several shows on Sydney TV."

"It seems that he is living a comfortable life?" Duke smiled.

Mel Gibson's future in Hollywood is definitely overdue. Even if he can appear in Hollywood in the future, he will no longer be able to enter the mainstream film industry and can only play some small roles.

The two of them said a few more words, Nancy Joseph came over with a middle-aged man.

"Duke, let me introduce it to you."

Walking to the table, she introduced the two parties, "This is Mr. Jon Strevan, the chairman of the Australian Tennis Association, this is director Duke Rosenberg, and this is Miss Cate Blanchett."

They shook hands on both sides, gave a few simple greetings, and sat around the table.

Nancy ordered a glass of wine for each of the four, and without going around the circle, she said to Duke directly, "Jon is one of the leaders of the next Australian Open. He wants to invite you to attend some public events at the Australian Open next year."

"Oh, thank you." Duke nodded to Jon Streepin.

"We are sincerely invited you to participate, Director Rosenberg." Strevan could hear that Duke was more polite, so he said, "We will also hold a celebrity tennis Open during our Australian Open next year, where celebrities will pair with some celebrities who are willing to participate in the tennis competition to carry out some charitable competitions."

He looked sincere, seemed very urgent and sincere.

Duke saw Nancy nodding slightly to him, thought for a moment, and said, "Jon, I can't give you a clear answer now. The schedule I want to see."

“We look forward to your participation.”

Jon Strevan stretched out his right hand to this side, and Duke grabbed it, "I also like tennis very much, and I hope to participate in some charity activities to help those in need."

It is easy for Duke to say what kind of occasions and people.

The Australian Open will start in late January, and it is only November now. Duke is not sure if there is time at that time. He can only give the other party a clear reply as the New Year approaches.

A sound of high heels falling to the ground sounded. Cate Blanchett glanced at the place where the sound came, and suddenly stood up and said to Duke, "I'll go to the lounge to make up some makeup."

It was obvious that she didn't want to meet with the people who came over.

Cate Blanchett had just left, and Naomi Watts, wearing a goose yellow dress, sat next to Duke.

"Long time no see Duke," she said with a smile.

The two were extremely familiar with each other, and Duke didn't be polite to her and asked, "When did I come here? Why didn't I see you?"

"The traffic jam on the road, I just arrived." Her eyes passed over Duke and landed on her distant back, "That's Blanchett?"

"What happened between you?"

Although the Australian Gang advances and retreats in major events, there are definitely many conflicts in private.

"It's just that there are some disputes over several roles."

Now Naomi Watts is so energetic that he is full of the pride and confidence of a big star. "I just beat her several times."

Duke was not interested in the bad things of the competition among the actresses, and asked instead, "Can you star in "King Kong" be released next year?"

"Next summer." Naomi Watts invited Duke, "If you have time, can you support my premiere?"

Speaking of this, she stood up and gave Duke a charming smile, "I'll say hello to Nancy and Warner's people and chat later."

When Naomi Watts left, Duke also stood up and walked towards the other side. Not far away were several lounges connected to the banquet hall. Cate Blanchett had just walked into the room on the far left.

Before coming to the lounge, Duke knocked on the door gently, then pushed the door and walked in. Cate Blanchett turned his back to the door, as if looking in the mirror, and he went straight over and stood behind the chair she was sitting.

"Honey……"

He bent down, his lips approaching Blanchett's white ears, "You look charming enough."

"Is that?" Cate Blanchett pulled out a lip gloss from his bag.

"certainly."
