Vol 2 Chapter 345: I don't understand

Beauty requires a price. The beauty that Victoria's Secret angels have traded at a high price, coupled with the strong capital granted by God’s favor, coupled with appropriate promotion, makes them not only Victoria’s Secret angels, but also equivalent Many angels in the eyes of the public.
Everyone likes and beautiful female models, but Duke has always prioritized her, and she will always rank behind her career.
From the brief conversation that day, Duke could feel that the little model Alexandra Ambrosio who had just joined Victoria's Secret was pleased with him. Maybe the other party wanted to develop into the film industry, or maybe just want to pursue it. stimulate.
However, these are not within Duke's consideration. Before the big show jointly organized by Warner Bros. and Victoria's Secret, nothing is more important than careful preparation.
Except for a few closed countries and regions, Duke wants the whole world to notice as much as possible that the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is being filmed!
In recent days, Duke and Victoria's Secret angels have frequently appeared on newspapers and media, and the campaign has already begun.
On Wednesday, under the special arrangement of Warner Bros., Victoria’s Secret’s Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima walked into a studio in New York and publicly told reporters when they came out that they were participating in " "The Lord of the Rings ¥≈," an audition for the trilogy!
On Thursday, the print media and news media were hyping the news. When Duke went to the Victoria's Secret office building, he publicly stated that he thought Victoria's Secret Angels were the most suitable for female elves...
On Friday, the "New York Times" and the "Today Show" of nbc TV also disclosed that the Lord of the Rings studio has reached an agreement with the top executives of Victoria's Secret. Victoria's Secret Angels and models close to Victoria's Secret will appear in the "Magic There are many elf characters in the "Ring" trilogy, and a photo was also exposed.
This photo has brought a lot of attention and aroused envy, envy and hatred of countless men!
In the photo. Duke stood up, surrounded by more than a dozen long-legged, slender, beautiful and models. Many media directly quoted the name set by the photographer-Duke Rosenberg and his fairy angels!
At the moment when the gunpowder in North America’s summer vacation cleared, this triggered another wave of movie attention!
On Friday afternoon, Time Warner and Victoria's Secret jointly held a press conference at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, announcing that they will cooperate closely on the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy...
"Mr. Tolkien's elves are elegant, flexible, slender, and charming."
Sitting on the interview platform. Duke showed the heroic aura of fighting against a hundred reporters, "Angels are the actors most suitable for female elves, and I have no reason not to choose them. I don’t choose the angels with the most similar appearance to the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. I think it’s a crime..."
Heidi Klum also said a few words on behalf of the angel models. She has become very popular in recent years, and she has been raised in public relations in advance, so it is not difficult to deal with reporters.
"I am very excited, and all my sisters and I are very excited." She seemed to be really excited, with vibrato in her words. "The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is an epic masterpiece. We never thought that we would be able to appear in such a classic work. Duke is a great director, and we all dream of appearing in his camera lens. ."
"Director Rosenberg, can you tell me more about the film?"
"Miss Krum, what role will you play?"
"I heard that Mr. Trump will make a cameo in the film. Is this true?"
Although the reporters in the News Hall were enthusiastic, Duke and Heidi Klum left the scene in due course. The news is never shaken all at once.
Jamie Johnson then announced on behalf of Warner and Victoria's Secret that the Victoria's Secret Angels will depart from the Waldorf Astoria on Sunday and take a special Victoria's Secret & Lord of the Rings plane. Fly to New Zealand with Duke!
As soon as the press conference was over, the cyber navy formed by Penny Kelly for Duke was dispatched. Numerous related news and pictures, as quickly as possible, raided major websites and forums across the United States, like a plague. .
The newly established tmz website under Warner's is a gossip. The story that Duke and Victoria's Secret Angels have to tell is also specially introduced...
I have been working for several days. After this press conference, Duke's work has come to an end. You can also take a good day off and prepare for Sunday's super show.
Just returned from the press room to the lounge. Before Duke had time to talk to Heidi Klum, Tina Fey came over to inform her that someone was waiting for him.
"She seems to be here specifically for you."
Riding the elevator up to the floor where the suite is located, Tina Fei told him as she walked, "I said you are busy and asked her to come another day, but she insisted on waiting for you."
Walking into the living room of the suite, a slender girl was facing away from them, standing in front of a painting, seeming to look very seriously.
She was wearing an extremely ordinary gray T-shirt and denim shorts, with long brown curly hair that was casually tied into a ponytail behind her head, and a somewhat old New York Yankees baseball cap was buttoned on it.
"Hi, Nat."
Walking to her, Duke took the initiative to say hello, "How come you have time today."
"The media is all about you these days. I think your method of promoting the film is very interesting." Natalie Portman withdrew her gaze from the oil painting and turned to look at Duke. "I remember the last time. When you came to New York, you said that you would invite me to drink."
"I've been busy recently..." Duke patted his forehead lightly, "I almost forgot about it."
He made a gesture to Tina Fei, the female assistant immediately left the suite, Duke walked to the wine cabinet in the living room and flipped it casually. He didn’t have a clear understanding of wine, so he simply took a bottle of Bordeaux and Two cups were placed on the bar.
"Please sit down, Nat."
Duke opened the wine and pointed to the high chair opposite the bar. Natalie walked over and sat on it. When Duke put the wine glass, poured some red wine, without saying anything, just picked up the wine glass and drank it. Nearly half.
Seeing Natalie putting down her glass, Duke frowned. When Tina Fei talked about it, he felt strange. This wasn't the last time he wanted to fight back with words. What did the other party ask him for? The two are not friends at all.
Although Natalie looked calm on the surface, it seemed that something had happened in her actions.
Picking up the red wine, Duke pours it for Natalie again, pours some more in his own glass, and takes the initiative to touch her glass, "Cheers!"
"Cheers!" Natalie drank half again.
"Nate?" Duke looked at him, and Natalie raised her face. "Huh?"
Duke thought for a while and asked, "Can you know what happened?"
"You know, Duke?" Natalie slowly turned the cup in her hand and lowered her eyelids slightly. "Since "The Phantom Menace" was released, everything has changed."
"It's normal." Duke said meaningfully, "you have become the world-famous Queen of Padmé Amidala."
"I'm Natalie Portman..." Natalie then emphasized, "Not anyone else!"
Duke shrugged and didn't intend to dwell on this issue.
Natalie took off the Yankees baseball cap, threw it on the bar, and tidyed up her drooping brown hair. "Fame comes at a price. I have real feelings during this time. Everyone regards me as Amida. The Queen of La, thinks that I have become a superstar and took the initiative to distance himself from me, even a few of my friends are no exception."
"This is not surprising." Duke picked up the wine glass and touched her again. "At every stage of life, you will become alienated or make some friends as you develop."
"You too?" Natalie asked, taking a sip of the red wine.
Duke shook his head, "I have few friends, but friends like Zach Schneider, John Schwarzman, Leonardo DiCaprio, Irene Lauder and Sophia Coppola , Have the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with anyone."
The pair of brown eyes kept turning. Natalie seemed to be thinking about Duke's words. Maybe she figured it out. She suddenly changed the subject, "I passed the interview at Harvard University and will go to Cambridge soon."
"Congratulations!" Duke took the initiative to raise his glass.
"Thank you." Natalie drank it.
When Duke pours the wine again, Natalie continues the topic just now, "Harvard's admission notice has caused me a lot of trouble. I don't know whom to ask for advice.
"Your parents." Duke gave this answer without even thinking about it.
Natalie was shaking her head, "They can't solve it, because the trouble comes from my family, from my father."
At this point, Natalie frowned slightly, took another sip from her glass, "When you chose Hollywood, did Mrs. Leah object?"
"No, my mother just reminded me that this road is very difficult." Duke's fingers slowly passed the wine glass, and he remembered his mother's seemingly indifferent but in fact gambling support, and a smile was unconsciously on the corners of his mouth. And my mother secretly gave me enough support, whether it was encouragement or funding, without her, there would be no me who I am today."
Duke was not stupid, and gradually guessed something. When Natalie was silent, she asked, "Your father is against you to continue your career as an actress?"
"He asked me to give up my role as an actor."
Rubbing her blushing face, Natalie drank the red wine in the glass again, her voice filled with rebellious struggle and resentment of young people, "Dad thinks I should become a doctor in the future, not the Vanity Fair in Hollywood. He has been putting pressure on me recently to give up on acting and ask me to devote all my energy to my studies!"
"I don't think I understand!"
Probably it has been suppressed for too long, coupled with the gradual onset of alcohol, Natalie's calmness is disappearing, and her emptiness gradually becomes excited, "Why can't I pursue my dreams like other girls? Why do I have to be vegetarian since I was young? To force abstinence? Why..." (To be continued...)
