It was an old man with gray hair combed neatly behind his head. The old man stared straight at this side, as sharp as an eagle. Duke's eyes met without fear, calm and indifferent, as if the opposite side was just the most ordinary wooden stake on the dock. ▲∴

"Young man," Sean Connery took a few steps closer, "confidence must have the talent that matches it, otherwise it will become arrogant. This is Hollywood, it is easy to remember one person, it is easier to forget one person."

His tone was obviously condescending lesson, "Many people can succeed because of their occasional luck, but the subsequent failure will cause them to fall from the peak and fall, to pieces, and be ruined!"

"I like collisions, excitement, and thrilling."

With a slight smile, Duke said lightly, "This is the path that belongs to young people, not something that those outdated people can understand."

"The road to failure!" Sean Connery said disdainfully.

"Yeah?"

Faced with this arrogant old man, Duke changed into a slightly sarcastic tone, "If you think I will fail next, why insist on investing $10 million in my movies? This only shows that you recognize my project in your heart, and you are hypocritical and unwilling to admit it."

"You thought I would care about that little money." Sean Connery looked like a gentleman who regarded money as dirt.

"If you remember correctly, you have neither been nominated nor a guest of awards." Duke deliberately showed a puzzled expression, "I don't know how many digits of checks MTV signed, and then invited the famous Mr. Sean Connery!"

Sean Connery glared and raised his shoulders slightly, "You..."

"Mr. Connery, this is a public place."

Before he could finish his words, Duke interrupted. The other party didn't care. He didn't want to be embarrassed by this old gangster. "I think Caa has spent a lot of effort to make you a perfect gentleman. Do you want to give up the image of a gentleman? By the way, I have always been the quarterback of the school football team in middle school and college. If you want to do it, I am happy to accompany you."

After taking a step back, Sean Connery's throat twitched a few times, as if he had swallowed something back into his stomach. In Duke's indifferent eyes, he said coldly, "Will people like you who are uncultured and do not know how to respect you are actually valued by Warner?"

"This is Hollywood." Duke shrugged indifferently, "Since a rude, irritable, swearing, and alcoholic drug addiction can become the most elegant old gentleman, what else is impossible?"

"You..." Sean Connery almost squeezed a sentence from the gap of his teeth, "You won't succeed, I swear!"

After saying that, he no longer gave Duke a chance to speak and quickly turned around and left.

Looking at the slightly trembling back, Duke didn't know how much effort it took to endure the bad-tempered Sean Connery to endure it. He couldn't help but shake his head. The packaging of caa is indeed very powerful. Such a person can become synonymous with elegant gentlemen, which is enough to prove the ability of this agency.

As for the other party's last words, Duke didn't care. He was not an independent producer. He also had Warner's super thigh behind him. Even if Caa wanted to do anything, Warner would be in the front.

Independent production is not in Duke's early plan at all. Such risk resistance is too weak. This is Hollywood, a battle between money and fame and fortune. It is not a place of pure goodness that can be killed in the whole United States by making a good movie.

"This person has a very bad temper and personality."

Naomi, who had been holding him, suddenly said, "Once at a party held at Cruise's mansion, he once scolded a young director so hard that he couldn't say a word."

"Okay, don't discuss him."

Duke had a little bit of affection for Naomi Watts, and she stood firmly by her side from beginning to end. This was also an attitude. He looked at his watch and took her to the outside of the lounge. "It's almost time, and the award ceremony is about to begin."

Because "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" is one of the most nominated films for the MTV Awards, Duke's seat is relatively high, and there are crew members such as Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves. There is also a strange woman sitting on the other side of Reeves, who seems to be his new girlfriend.

"Do you think you can win the award?" Naomi Watts whispered.

“Since the organizing committee has sent me an invitation, I have also made it clear that I will attend…”

Duke heard Nancy explain this kind of entertainment-smelling award, "I guess they won't let me go empty-handed."

The award ceremony soon kicked off. Without the seriousness and seriousness of the Oscars, it was full of joy from beginning to end. For example, Whitney Houston, who opened the show, reorganized the "I Will Love You forever" which became a hit because of "Body Guard" and turned it into a fast-paced r&b.

The winners are not too excited, and the frustrated ones are not frustrated. Those who come on stage to receive the award always cooperate with the host and the award presenter to make some small self-mockery.

Although Duke was still empty-handed at the awards ceremony for more than halfway through, "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" still won several awards. Keanu Reeves won the Best Actor. His kissing scene with Uma Thurman after escaping from the bus, overwhelming Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner's airport kiss, and won the Best Kiss Scene trophy.

Unfortunately, Uma Thurman lost to Whitney Houston in Best Actress and Sharon Stone in the Sexiest Actress, but she and Keanu Reeves then received the popcorn bucket of Best Screen Partner.

"The next thing to be awarded is the best action scene design..." The host stood on the stage and said in an exaggerated tone, "The winner was the bus that destroyed half of Santa Monica, "Life and Death Hour"! Please invite Duke Rosenberg."

As the people around him slapped their hands together, Duke stood up and accepted Naomi Watts' hug, then walked onto the stage and took a large golden popcorn bucket from the hostess.

"Oh, it's heavier than I thought."

Even if he is not good at joking, Duke still joked a few times, "I just don't know how it tastes."

"It will explode!" The host made fun of him, "It is powerful enough to blow a plane and a bus to pieces!"

"Then it will come in handy soon." Duke looked in front of him, "I'll blow up half of San Francisco with it."

"Is this the rumor true?"

I wonder if Warner did his job privately, but the host said very well, "Your new film is going to destroy San Francisco and Alcatraz?"

"Just destroy half." Duke stressed.

"There will be an explosion?" the host asked with interest, "An explosion is even more exciting than "The Speed ​​of Life and Death"?"

"Yes, it's even more crazy and impactful than "The Speed ​​of Life and Death", and you'll see it this summer." Duke changed into a mysterious tone, "It is recommended that action movie fans go to watch my new film "Brave the Deadly Island" and take motion sickness medicine that won't sleep in advance."

There were bursts of laughter burst out throughout the hall, followed by warm applause.

It was almost time, and Duke knew that he should step down. Before leaving, he pretended to be serious, "Explosion is a highly technical sensory art. A inferior explosion makes people aesthetic fatigue, and a high-quality explosion makes people excited, while a top explosion can make people fall into thinking."

The applause was heard like a tide. I don’t know who led the lead, so many people stood up and applauded, especially in the audience area behind, there were clear and audible cheers. The audience who could appear here must be fans of popcorn movies. Duke’s words were so in line with their appetite.

Naomi Watts in the front row had already stood up. When he saw the camera lens turn, he clapped his hands hard while posing, as if he was saying something like ‘i.’. No matter how you look at it, he is a very competent female companion.

"Do you believe his new movie will succeed?"

Just at the seat not far from the stage, Mel Gibson asked Sean Connery with a gloomy face. The old man snorted heavily with his nose, "As long as someone stops him, he will definitely not succeed!"

Sean Connery had an elegant smile on his face and was applauding with others, but the eyes were filled with a glow of darkness.

"Congratulations, Duke."

As soon as he walked off the stage, Naomi Watts gave him a big hug. Duke's eyes looked at the camera that was turning, and he cooperated to take pictures of her back, whispering, "Don't be too excited."

The awards continued, Naomi took the golden popcorn from him and rubbed her fingers gently on it, "How great would it be if this was a little golden man."

"There will be, not now." Duke looked indifferent, as if the Little Golden Man was not much better than this Golden Popcorn trophy in his eyes. "Little Golden Man may not be more noble than popcorn."

"But that's authoritative certification." Naomi obviously disagreed with his point of view.

Shrugged, Duke said nothing anymore. It seems that the golden popcorn produced by the audience's vote must be full of inside information. How much can the Oscars be better? He has some memories of the Internet age and knows how most Oscars will be born in the future.

Art? Really only literary films or independent films can represent film art?

In fact, who doesn’t know that all Hollywood movies have only one purpose, that is, commercial profit!

"It's a real reputation to win the best film in Batman 2."

After the awards, there was also a small interview ceremony. Duke faced the footage of MTV TV and said, "The award for the best action scenes is the best motivation for me. I have been working hard to design the plots and shots that the audience likes. Thank you for your willingness to vote for me, and thank you for your enjoyment of my movie."

"When you make a movie," the reporter asked, "will you take the audience's preferences into consideration?"
