"Duke, did you forget to tell me something?"

BS TV is located in Burbank's studio. Nancy Josephson stood at the door of the lounge, looking at the ring on Duke's hand, and asked deliberately in a joke.

As an extremely smart agent, she knew very well how to get along with Duke now. Nancy Josephson served Duke for more than 20 years, and the relationship between the two parties was no longer an ordinary director and agent.

Duke, who was sitting in a high-back chair, looked up at Nancy Josephson and smiled and said, "I remember letting Tina inform you."

"I can't witness you propose to Scar with your own eyes..." Nancy Josephson patted the back of the chair in front of him, "It's really a pity. I'd known that I wouldn't go on a business trip in Europe some time ago."

She continued, "Don't you plan to hold a formal engagement ceremony?"

Duke shook his head, "Scar and I don't have plans for this. We'll be together when we get married."

A gentle knock on the door also interrupted the conversation between Duke and Nancy Josephson. Erin DeGeneres' assistant came to inform that the program was about to begin.

Giving the information in his hand to Nancy Josephson, Duke followed the assistant through a long passage and came to the back of the stage. Standing in the blind spot of the camera, you could vaguely see the busy figure in front of you.

This episode of "Allen Show" is different from past recordings and broadcasts. It is not easy to invite super guests like Duke. In order to increase the ratings and increase the highlights, this episode specially adopted a live broadcast method.

Opposite the stage is the audience seat. This time the audience seat has obviously added many temporary seats, and about 500 viewers sat on the scene. Unlike the people behind the show who always look for the show to act as the audience, these are all Duke fans specially found by the program team. They also have a title on the Internet Duke!

Perhaps at the beginning, this was a derogatory term for a group that hated Duke, but to the present, Duke's fans have claimed that they are "Duke Blow" and are proud to be praising the director they like.

And Duke also has enough capital to show off.

In terms of commercial achievements, looking at the global film industry, Duke is the well-deserved first place on many lists, including the total box office list, North American box office list, single film box office list, etc.

Maybe some people would whine, saying that they were just a commercial director, who was a little better than Michael Bey at best.

But the two best directors of Oss made these people shut their mouths helplessly.

At the blind spot of another camera lens on the side of the stage, the director of the program shouted to start. A warm applause sounded from the audience, and host Alan DeGeneres walked onto the stage with applause and stood in front of the huge background screen.

On the background screen behind her is an extremely eye-catching Duke's work photo, and a line of huge titles looking for and creating miracles!

Alan DeGeneres crossed his hands in front of him and said, "When Duke Rosenberg continues to create a new era of film with shocking special effects and excellent editing, he remains focused on the brilliant narrative of the film's winning."

Before Duke was on the stage, Alan DeGeneres walked to his seat, looked at the big screen behind and continued, "For the past quarter century, Duke Rosenberg, who has released a movie every year, has proved what limits a director can do, and proved that the quality and quantity of his films he made are as jaw-dropping as the quality and quantity!"

The big screen began to play edits of some films directed by Duke, and in conjunction with the editing screen, Allen DeGeneres said, "No director can contribute more to modern film technology like Duke. He is the favorite director of the audience, rational but not majestic. Duke is a fantasy. He likes to extend the boundaries of media imagination and clearly depict his continuous *. At the same time, he changes our habits of watching movies. He is using practical actions and wonderful films to prove his lifelong pursuit of movies."

Speaking of this, Erin DeGeneres made a gesture of invitation, "Welcome the first director in history to enter the 20 billion US dollar club, please invite Duke Rosenberg!"

Finally checking his outfit, Duke strode onto the stage, first waved to the audience, then walked to Alan DeGeneres, and was greeted by a large hug.

Although the other party is one of the most famous gay people in Hollywood and is privately known as the person who has the most Hollywood actresses, Duke didn't mind at all. After hugging Allen DeGeneres, he sat on the sofa opposite her.

"Welcome, Duke."

Unlike past shows, Allen DeGeneres knew very well that the ordinary Hollywood director was not an ordinary Hollywood director sitting opposite him. "Congratulations on entering the top three of Forbes' global rich rankings."

Duke nodded slightly, "Thank you."

The two sides had enough exchanges before, but they did not get entangled in this topic, and they were more involved in the film industry.

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens created a $3 billion box office miracle..."

As the topic gradually returned to the film side, Erin DeGeneres asked with a relaxed smile, "But unlike your other movies, this film uses more traditional special effects. Does this represent a return to traditional special effects, or the future of digital technology is not as good as expected?"

"Indeed, Star Wars: The Force Awakens" uses a lot of traditional real-life special effects..." Duke reminded, "but the digital special effects used are by no means fewer than traditional special effects, and without digital special effects, traditional real-life special effects will never be able to achieve the effect of the video presenting on the screen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Allen DeGeneres said in a tit-for-tat way, "Not long ago, Steven Spielberg talked about special effects at a media conference, and said that he believed in the magic of practice and not the magic of numbers. What do you think?"

"Steven is a real movie master, he is the teacher we imitate together. He always rebuilds himself, so we can constantly learn from him."

To reach his current position, proper modesty is not a bad thing. Duke changed his tone and said, "But I have different opinions from him in some ways. He still edits with Kem. This editing station that looks like a stubborn donkey is obviously his safe area, and here it can reflect how he connects the material."

Duke shrugged slightly, "But for me, the technology of filming is improving, I want to be at the forefront, I want to lead this wave, I don't want to let this wave wash me, I don't want to watch other people behind me ride this wave to the coast, I enjoy the process very much. On the other hand, the action that can maximize the balance of technical production is to prevent technology from styling and interfere with the narrative, as well as the core and soul of the movie. I can say that I certainly haven't handled this problem in "Life and Death Hour" and "Battle of the Dead Island", but I handled it in "The Dark Knight" and "Avengers."

Alan DeGeneres's question is very leaps and seems to want to break Duke's thinking, "Can you know what the first video that really affects you?"

"Sorry, I don't remember."

Duke is certainly not a rookie. "When I was still in elementary school, I fantasized about describing a story from my own perspective. At that time, I was a simple person who had a strong desire for fantasy stories in movies, books or anywhere. After that, in mountain high school, I had to spend an hour on the road, so I naturally read novels on the road every day, usually shorter science fiction novels."

"When did you decide to be a director on your own?" Alan DeGeneres' question was quick.

“When I was studying at the California Institute of Art, I started doing basic work on some Hollywood crews, such as working as a temporary worker in setting up the scene,” he said.

With a look of memories on his face, Duke seemed to think of scenes from the late 1980s again, "I saw some directors constantly messing up scenes after scene. They didn't know how to put the cameras or how to light them up. I thought at the time that if that was the director, I could do it."

There was a kind laugh from the audience seat. After the laughter stopped, Duke continued, "I didn't realize in my mind that I could do it until I saw some people doing a bad job and now it seemed a bit arrogant. Of course, you will face one day when you are really ‘that guy’, you will direct the camera, you will install the camera, etc..."

"This is a very timid moment." Duke's initial directorial journey was not smooth, and the filming of the first film was full of hardships. "When you don't have any experience, you will eventually get back. You need to accumulate strength. When I filmed "Life and Death Hour", I had enough confidence and experience. Fortunately, I didn't do too badly with a relatively low budget and a short shooting cycle."

"Success is not easy, we all know it." Allen DeGeneres saw Duke nodding and asked the next question, "The fast pace of "Life and Death Hour" is the Rosenberg film style that continues to "Break the Deadly Island" and your other works. This rhythm makes the audience feel as if they are speeding past the wild. How did you develop this style?"

Duke shook his head, "There is no Rosenberg style at all. I'm not even sure there is one now. I always try to open up new ways, like a skier who only likes first snow, and I try to find new snow."
