Vol 2 Chapter 486: Headache

"International travel company?"
Taking a look at her business card, Ivanka looked up and asked Duke, "Will you still provide services?"
"Very likely." Duke shrugged.
"Hollywood really has every company."
After muttering this sentence, Ivanka turned around and walked aside, and threw the business card directly into the trash can. When she came back, she just took Duke's arm and the phone ringed in her handbag.
"I'll take a call." She took out her phone and glanced at it. "Daddy is calling."
Duke nodded, "Go ahead."
Ivanka had just left, and Warner Bros’ CEO Doug Walter came over.
"There was a young man just now." Doug Walter ordered two glasses of champagne, stuffed it into Duke's hand, and said, "He just found me and wants to invest in a Warner project."
"Who?" Duke already had some speculation in his mind.
Sure enough, Doug Walter said, "Larry Ellison's son, he wants to invest in your project and Harry Potter."
Duke showed interest. "I guess you must refuse."
"Do you think I will agree?" Doug Walter took a sip of champagne, "Don't say it-←, he, his father is here, and I will also refuse."
Larry Ellison is indeed famous, but that is in the IT world, not Hollywood.
Just like investing in well-known established companies such as General Electric, investing in Hollywood sometimes may not be useful if you have money.
Moreover, neither Duke nor Warner lacks funds.
Doug Walter did not take David Ellison to heart, and changed the subject, "Duke, I think the DVD of "The Return of the King" is more appropriate to be released after the Oscars."
"It looks like you are very confident." Duke understood why.
"Warner's Publicity and Public Relations Department is already in operation." Doug Walter is indeed confident, "We have accumulated such a big advantage by relying on the trilogy. If the prize goes away, I will definitely fire those two departments. everyone!"
The sound of the high heels landing, Ivanka walked over quickly, Doug Walter basically finished what he should say, said hello to her, and then left.
"What's wrong. Honey?"
When I went out just now, Ivanka's mood was still very good, and now his face was obviously unhappy.
"It's nothing." Ivanka forced a smile at Duke. "After arguing with Dad, I'll talk about it when I go home."
Hearing that it was between a father and a daughter, Duke was wise to never continue to ask questions. Donald Trump would make outrageous actions from time to time, and it was not once or twice that he had a disagreement with Ivanka.
The party lasted until late, close to midnight. Duke and Ivanka returned to the Duke’s Manor and walked into the eye-shaped villa. Tina Fei was still sitting in the living room, obviously something was waiting for them.
"Something?" Duke asked.
"Ok."
Tina Fei nodded, "There is a press conference in New York at night."
Ivanka was about to go upstairs at this time and said, "I'll go back to the room and take a shower."
"Evi..." Tina Fey called to her, "You better look at it too."
"It's about me?" Ivanka couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"It has something to do with Donald Trump."
Talking. Tina Fei turned on the TV and played a pre-recorded video. It was a press conference, and the protagonist of the conference was Donald Trump.
Just looking at it, Duke frowned.
This is Donald Trump's new book conference. The book he published is called "Trump and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy"!
"I participated in a lot of work in the pre-production and post-production of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the book has detailed descriptions of this aspect."
Now that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is recognized as a phenomenon-level movie, Donald Trump obviously wants to expand his influence. And the words spoken were strong enough, "Not only are there movie content, but also some things I got along with Duke, as well as Duke and Ivanka..."
With eyes off the TV screen, Ivanka looked at Duke first. Looked at Tina Fei again.
"I didn't know it beforehand," she whispered. "I didn't hear about it until the phone call at the party. I wanted to come back and talk to you."
Duke nodded, did not say anything, but continued to watch this press conference. Donald Trump is undoubtedly a master of show, and his interviews basically revolve around him and Ivanka.
No one likes to be a tool for others to hype, and Duke is no exception. His face is calm, but his heart is not very happy.
Ivanka wanted to explain a few words for her father, "Duke, Dad..."
"My dear," Duke interrupted her infrequently, "this matter has nothing to do with you."
At this time, he remembered that Donald Trump once said that he would publish a book. At that time, the two of them almost had a conflict. They were cleverly resolved by Ivanka. There was no news about the other party's book, so he forgot it. In the back of my head, it now seems that Donald had planned long ago to release the book when the trilogy's impact reached a peak.
"Turn it off, Tina."
Although the video of the press conference was only shown for a while, Duke asked Tina Fei to turn off the TV.
Duke was sitting on the couch, with one hand gently buckling the armrest of the sofa, Ivanka sat beside him, gently rubbing his forehead with his fingers, obviously not knowing what to do.
Although the words have nothing to do with Ivanka, how can Duke avoid her in handling this matter?
"I'm sorry, Duke." Ivanka also had a headache.
She knew very well what kind of person her father was. If it weren't for the phone call at night, she didn't know it until now. She thought that her father had given up the idea of ​​publishing a book long ago, but she didn't expect it to be...
"Honey, it's okay."
Duke shook her hand comfortably and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. Now that this kind of thing happened, he couldn't transfer his anger to Ivanka, it would be too unfair to her.
It's just Ivanka's superb father, which is really a headache.
"Tina, tell Attorney Al Ryder tomorrow." Duke didn't intend to hide Ivanka. This kind of matter is concealed and it is easy to cause conflicts, "Send Donald a lawyer's letter!"
Ivanka held Duke's arm, only to show a helpless smile.
Duke also knows that this is just showing his attitude to the other party. Donald Trump likes hype and show, but he is not a fool. I certainly won’t make a fuss in the book. With North American copyright laws, even if he and Ivanka are involved in the book, there is nothing to do.
Is it possible to take Donald Trump to court? Even if you do this, the lawsuit will only be delayed indefinitely.
Although North America is very particular about freedom and independence, Duke is convinced that if he and Donald Trump tear their faces apart, Ivanka will inevitably be hurt.
Although he is as far away from Kindness as the two Pacific Oceans, he does not want to take the initiative to hurt this relationship of working hard.
Go back to the room. Ivanka closed the door and hugged Duke from behind, his face completely pressed against his thick back, listening to the powerful heartbeat, "Thank you."
"We don't need to be so polite between us." Duke turned around, took Ivanka into his arms, and kissed her the forehead again, "Don't think too much. Rest early."
"Hmm..." Ivanka nodded and kicked off her high heels. Walked to the bathroom, "I'll take a shower."
As she said, she turned around, "Are you together?"
"Okay." Of course Duke would not refuse this invitation.
Ivanka waited for Duke to come by, then led him to the bathroom, which was not a long way. She blinked several times, and when she entered the door, she said, "I plan to go back to New York tomorrow to have a good talk with my father."
Duke stopped. After thinking about it, he said, "That's fine too."
It’s a good idea to let Ivanka talk to Donald Trump. Duke never thought that the activist who is keen on show could completely abandon the matter of him and Ivanka as a media topic, as long as he converges Some are just fine.
Early the next morning, Duke went for a run in the garden, but Ivanka stayed. She walked into the gym and saw Tina Fey who was working out on the treadmill.
"Hi, Tina."
"Hi, Evie."
The two greeted affectionately as usual, and Ivanka stood in front of Tina Fei's treadmill.
Tina Fei looked at her, pressed the stop button, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, I just want to ask you." Ivanka thought for a while before saying, "Tina, what would you do if you had this situation?"
"Me?" Tina Fei pointed at herself, then shook her head and smiled, "I am Duke's assistant, and I only have one principle of work. Those who harm Duke's interests are my enemies."
Ivanka could only show her a pair of eyes, and after sighing, she understood that she had asked the wrong person completely. He was Duke's deputy or the actual person in charge of the Duke's studio. How could he be on the side of others.
Putting her smile away, Tina Fei jumped off the treadmill, stood in front of Ivanka, and patted her arm gently, "Evie, starting from New Zealand, we are friends. You return to New York and talk to your father. Talk about it, no one will tolerate it without limit."
"I know."
Even though I said that, Ivanka still feels a headache when I think of her father.
After breakfast, Duke asked the driver to send Ivanka to the airport. He and Tina Fei went directly to the Duke’s studio in Burbank. The preparations for "Hurricane Rescue" are still going on, and the work cannot be suspended. As for On Donald Trump's side, he has notified Al Ryder lawyer to send a lawyer's letter routinely, and Ivanka will handle the rest.
For the time being, the book on the market should not exist.
When he arrived at the studio, Duke saw a letter of intent formally sent by David Ellison, which included multiple projects that the Duke’s studio was involved in. He just took a look and asked Tina Fei to reply. Directly refused.
Although Duke refused, David Ellison did not give up his plan to enter Hollywood. He met a big Hollywood figure under the bridge of others. (To be continued...)
