Jessica Alba seemed to be unspeakable, her lips moaned, but she said nothing.
The crew is about to enter the theater. This is a good time to show the love of the sisters. Michel Rodriguez dragged her to the corner and asked with great concern, "Jesse, it’s not good to walk in in this state. ."
With the help of Michel Rodriguez’s strong body, Jessica Alba couldn’t help it anymore. A hand reached in from the high slit of the dress and squeezed it a few times, her sweet face It showed a relaxed enjoyment, and the problems that seemed to plague her were relieved to a large extent.
Michel Rodriguez’s eyes lit up immediately. Even if she was stupid, she knew that Jessica Alba would not be so stupid to comfort herself here, not to mention that the other party likes crazy play and has never lacked a male partner.
"not……"
Born in a chaotic Latin community, Mitchell Rodriguez had seen similar situations with other women, and immediately had a guess in his heart.
Immediately, another thought came to mind. If the guess is true, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to squeeze Jessica Alba out of office?
However, Michel Rodriguez didn't want to take too much risk. After all, the other party was introduced by James Cameron.
She thought about it for a moment, and then asked concerned, "Jesse, is it uncomfortable below?"
Jessica Alba was about to shake her head, but thinking of Michel Rodriguez's care for her, she nodded slowly, "I don't know what's going on..."
"Jesse, you can't ignore women's problems." Michelle Rodriguez immediately persuaded, "It's better to go to the gynecology department."
"That..." Jessica Alba hesitated.
Michelle Rodriguez smiled comfortingly, "I also encountered a similar problem, and it was easy to solve it by going to the Dessinai Medical Center."
The two voices are getting lower and lower, in the words of Michel Rodriguez. Jessica Alba kept nodding her head.
Finally, like the best sisters, the two walked into the theater next to each other, and "Fast and Furious" was released.
During the screening, Michel Rodriguez walked out for a reason and went to a lounge on the second floor. Take out the mobile phone from the bag and dial a number.
"Amir, do you want some breaking news? You can stay at the Dessinai Medical Center these days..."
Hanging up, Michel Rodriguez couldn't help but put a smile on his mouth.
At the end of the premiere, Jessica Alba became the focus of media attention with the dazzling performance of the vase in the film. At the subsequent press conferences, reporters kept asking questions. This is not what she starred in the TV series. Comparable. She began to taste the fame of becoming popular, and even saw the hope of becoming popular in the future.
Although there will be a party afterwards, Jessica obediently returns home. Although she likes to play around, she also knows that her producer boyfriend is more important.
"Hi, honey, I'm back."
As soon as she walked into the apartment, she saw Christopher Rockencourt who was calling. Immediately sent a sweet kiss, "Do you miss me?"
Christopher Rockencourt replied with practical actions...
Although there was another irritation below. But Jessica Alba did not reject Christopher Rockencourt.
After the sun rose, another weekend kicked off. Duke also returned to Los Angeles. He planned to stay in New York for a while to meet his mother who had returned from Europe, but his mother suddenly changed his schedule. He flew directly from Paris to Dubai and would not return in a short time, so he left New York early.
It was Friday afternoon when he arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, and he had just taken a rest after returning to the Duke’s Manor. Nancy Josephson approached the door.
"I have an invitation here," Nancy came to the door so anxiously, there must be something important, "You'd better see it yourself."
What she handed Duke was a detailed plan, and even appended a script.
""Napoleon the Great"?"
Although the project was unfamiliar, Duke didn't feel surprised. After all, he didn't know too many Hollywood movies, but when he saw the production cost budget inside, he couldn't help but frown.
The preliminary plan for production costs is 160 million US dollars!
Has there ever been such a movie? Duke frowned and thought for a while, without any impression.
However, Duke knew that he could not know and remember all the things in Hollywood, so he patiently read the plan and the script behind it.
The plan is very detailed and detailed. At first glance, it is the handwriting of the industry's first-class producers. Even the various problems of shooting location in France have been considered, and even preliminary solutions have been proposed, even with several giants like Duke. The director of the project plan couldn't find too many faults.
This is simply a perfect project plan.
The latter script had more than 200 pages, but after reading it, Duke nodded unconsciously. The script did not select the magnificent life of Emperor Napoleon, but only intercepted the last fragment of his emperor’s career, centering on the Battle of Waterloo. It is full of various conspiracy calculations and war scenes, which is very in line with his appetite and style.
To put it simply, this is not a biography script, but a typical commercial giant script.
In Hollywood, the value of the script is not high. The key is that the plan that matches the script has greatly increased the gold content of the script.
Also, this script and the previous plan are simply tailor-made for him!
He has a feeling that the people who make plans and write scripts seem to have thought about finding him as a director before they start writing. Everything is tailored to his style and appetite.
Every director has his own style, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg have, and Duke is no exception. The person who developed this project has obviously studied him in depth.
The plan made by Charles Rowan and Robin Grande is nothing more than that.
The more I look at Duke, the more my heart is moved. If Napoleon the Great is not a Frenchman, he has already asked Nancy to contact him first...
But after all, he was a relatively calm-headed person. He closed the crew, thought for a while, and waited until his emotions returned to a stable level, and he was sure that it would not affect business judgments before speaking slowly.
"Who sent this from?" he asked.
"A producer from France." Nancy Josephson knew that Duke had no interest in European films and European filmmakers, and immediately explained, "Although he is a French, he has actually been in Hollywood for ten years. Big-name movie stars and producers have a good relationship, and it is said that they have also invested in some small productions, which can be regarded as a member of Hollywood."
"If I want to get this script, what conditions does he have?" Duke knew very well that there is no free lunch in this world.
"First of all, he asked for a joint venture to shoot. His side should account for at least 40% of the investment and revenue share..."
Hearing what Nancy said, Duke nodded his head. This is a normal condition. If the other party does not speak loudly, but sends the whole project obediently at a low price, then he will definitely consider whether there is any conspiracy behind it.
"Secondly, he must be a producer, at least one of the most powerful people on the crew."
"Anything else?"
These are Hollywood conventions and are far from Duke's bottom line.
"Yes." Nancy said after thanking the butler Emma's refilled coffee cup, "As a Frenchman, he hopes that the film can be shot in France and Belgium! The other party also knows about your "Lord of the Rings" III. The part has not been completed yet, and he can wait for "The Return of the King" to officially start shooting, but he wants to adopt the "Lord of the Rings" and "The Matrix" model and start the preliminary preparations as early as possible."
"This condition is not excessive."
The shooting of epic war films is quite cumbersome, especially for those with real historical figures. It is the safest way to spend more than a year in preparation.
"That's it for the time being, and the specific situation needs to be discussed slowly in the negotiation."
First of all, the other party will see if Duke has any intentions. If there is any intention, then the follow-up negotiation will discuss each paragraph and each item in detail.
Putting the plan and the script outline on the coffee table, Duke held his chest with one hand and rubbed his chin with the other, thinking carefully about the feasibility.
The other party’s first condition was a lot of lions, but it did not touch his restricted area. The latter two conditions are completely Hollywood practices, and the plan is extremely executable regardless of how it looks.
Napoleon the Great was a Frenchman, and this is where Duke worries the most.
The protagonist of the film is French and the protagonist is American. The treatment enjoyed in North America is completely different. Although the profitability of overseas markets is getting higher and higher, the North American market is the cornerstone of Hollywood, and it is impossible for him not to pay attention to the North American market.
Fortunately, Napoleon is too famous, there should not be too many Americans who don't know him.
"Nancy, what do you think?"
After all, this was a project without any memory. Duke hesitated and couldn't help asking his agent.
icm also has a special review department to help its actors and directors select scripts in order to find works that suit them. Nancy apparently made sufficient preparations before coming. "icm did a two-week preliminary review and investigation. This script is placed on other directors. In your hand, the most is a, but in your hand, the market prospect is a+!"
Nancy’s opinion is similar. This project is tailor-made for Duke.
After speaking, Nancy closed her mouth. She knew very well how to get along with the biggest customer under her name. Over the years, she would never make any decisions for Duke without proper advice.
Curving the fingers of his right hand, Duke gently buckled the armrest of the sofa, his eyes rested on the plan and script again.
Suddenly, he thought that he had overlooked a problem. From the beginning, he was attracted by the plan and the script, and he forgot to ask Nancy who the producer was.
Duke turned his head and asked, "Nancy, who is the producer?" (To be continued...)
