Vol 2 Chapter 529: The protagonist is a pit

After Google went public, the stock price continued to rise. This can be said to be the biggest source of Duke’s wealth. In the latest issue of the Forbes Global Rich List, he entered the world’s top 30 for the first time with a net worth of US$9.2 billion. Ranks.
The most important thing is that Duke is not like some wealthy people who seem to be fascinating but actually have troubles. He has no debt or bad assets. His net worth of US$9.2 billion is almost all net assets.
Of course, since Google does not pay dividends and has restrictions on major shareholder transactions, most of Duke's shares cannot be realized.
But Duke’s investment is to preserve value, and he also knows how big Google will be in the future, and it is impossible to sell the hard-won shares in his hands.
And when Google took the initiative to approach him again, Duke also proposed a share swap.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin found Duke at the same time. The three of them talked for a whole morning, and finally did not come to any results. The goals of the two Google founders were him and Ivan. Card? Instant sharing created by Trump!
Instant sharing is now the nation’s largest social networking site and the video site with the highest click-through rate. It is a normal thing to be seen by Google. Whether you want to go public or be acquired by someone, you have a 45% stake. ≠★, and Duke, who has the corresponding voting rights, can't get around.
Although the desire to sell the equity in his hands is not strong, it is a basic business activity. If the price paid by Google is high enough, Duke will not be unable to consider it, and he also put forward the conditions, that is, stock exchange or A share exchange.
The two founders of Google will certainly not agree easily. Why did they re-allocate shares to Google before listing in order to increase control of the company. Larry Page and Sergey Brin said they need to consider. Duke is not in a hurry. After all, even if the other party agrees, Google needs to convince Ivanka Trump to win instant sharing.
From March last year to more than half a year now, Ivanka and Duke have been in the cold war, especially after Duke made up his mind not to compromise with Donald Trump. His agent has repeatedly conflicted with Ivanka on the company’s stock expansion and financing, and still keeps the Trump Group’s funds firmly out of the company. If no one takes the initiative to compromise, it is difficult for both parties to turn back. .
Despite his tenacity, Duke felt uncomfortable thinking about the relationship he had taken seriously. After all, his heart is always fleshy and he is getting along with Ivanka. He is not the kind of person who only asks for but does not pay,
However, he can always see where his goal and future are, whether it is a woman or any difficulties, it will not slow him down.
Like all men and women in the U.S., it’s normal to separate and reunite feelings. Whether it’s a man or a woman, it’s sad because of the passing away of feelings, but few people will die and live like in movies or novels. No one will tolerate it indefinitely. Tolerance is always limited.
People with a personality like Duke will not hurt the spring and sadness because of such things. He still has work to do, and there is a huge movie plan waiting to be implemented in the future.
In Warner's open-air studio area, a pile of ashes was still smoking, Anne Hathaway carefully shuttled through it, and found the busy Christian Bell, who looked at each other affectionately for the childhood sweetheart who was destined to be tragedy. There are too many complicated things in their eyes.
Duke stood behind the monitor and watched the performance of the two. This was the last scene of "Batman: Hour of War". It was a long shot, perhaps the upcoming relaxation. Let Anne Hathaway and Christian Bale relax a bit. They have been shooting several times before, and this time they have clearly adjusted their state.
Unlike James Cameron's style, Duke is not the kind of person who can't control his temper on set.
"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you."
Christian Bale’s lines meant something. After all, this was a realistic film. Batman wanted to fight crime and was destined to live in solitude.
"You don't have to apologize, Bruce... I've been thinking about you, and we..."
Anne Hathaway got closer and closer, and the two finally kissed. This seemed to be a happy ending in line with the usual Hollywood style, but she took the initiative to distance herself.
"You are Batman, the nemesis of evil, Bruce has been left in a corner of the world, maybe he will come back when Gotham City is truly safe..."
The two of them held hands and walked towards the set, then Duke shouted, "cut!"
He looked around the set and said loudly, "The shooting is officially over!"
There were not many people on the set. After Duke's words, there was only a sparse applause.
Pressing the replay button on the monitor, Duke looked at the footage just taken again, made sure there was no problem, and asked the assistant to notify the crew to close.
This is not a traditional Hollywood ending. Compared to the next Dark Knight, it is not too heavy. After all, Duke has to consider audience acceptance. The investment of the Batman series determines that this cannot be a willful cut. A film, but a mainstream commercial film concealed in the dark reality style.
As for the difficulty for lovers to become family members, this is nothing to Batman fans.
In countless comics and movies in the past, Bruce Wayne was a bottomless pit for female characters. Female characters who had feelings or relationships with him basically did not get a good end, and Many people have the consensus that if you don't have the demigod physique and ability of Wonder Woman Diana Prinz, it is best not to have a romantic relationship with Batman.
Only a strong woman like Wonder Woman can survive Superman and Batman.
The filming ended, and the crew held a shutdown party that night. The party was held in a hotel near the Warner Studios. Many people chose to bring their male or female companions to attend, and compared to the nineties. This kind of crazy and indulgent party mode, the shutdown party is now more formal. Today, with the infinite speed of information circulation, the production and distribution party will not let go of any opportunities for publicity and hype.
The public relations department of Warner Bros. specially laid a red carpet in front of the hotel where the party was held. It also notified a large number of media reporters in advance that this is a Duke film and has never lacked attention.
Not only media reporters, Warner Bros. also gathered hundreds of fans through the instant sharing of fans’ circle of friends. At first glance, the party looked like a small awards ceremony.
Unlike other people in pairs, Duke walked through the red carpet alone. Now that the filming is over and the more important publicity period has begun, he no longer avoids media reporters, standing in the interview area in front of the hotel and accepting Reporter's interview.
"The difficulty lies in the actual shooting process. Shooting is always tiring..."
This kind of interview is nothing more than that, talking about the difficulties and interesting things in the shooting, and then revealing the so-called "secrets" that can be hyped by the media. After so many years, Duke can be said to be experienced and easy to deal with.
However, entertainment reporters are not only concerned with movies.
After a few questions about the film, a reporter quickly asked, "Director Rosenberg, are you single now?"
"Sorry..." Duke was still indifferent, "I don't answer questions that have nothing to do with the movie."
After speaking, he cast a look at his side, and several security personnel immediately walked over to separate a road, and Duke walked into the hotel without looking back.
Compared with the shutdown party full of drugs and various drugs in the last century, this party is undoubtedly more formal and more like a social business party. Duke inevitably becomes the focal point of many people's communication as soon as Duke enters the banquet hall. .
Among them, there are celebrities who are trying to explore the possibility of cooperation in the future; there are agents who work hard to promote his actors; there are sponsors who want to get the opportunity to place advertisements in his commercial works...
After a round at the party, Duke did not stay long and left the hotel to return to Malibu. More than two months of filming consumed a lot of his energy, and as he got older, unless necessary for work, other Time pays attention to the regularity of work and rest. After all, although he is strong enough, he is still a normal person and must pay attention to body maintenance.
In Hollywood, there are countless men and women who decline before age. The most typical Angelina Jolie. Duke has seen her look without makeup. It is horrible. She is just paying the debts for the uncontrolled life of her youth. .
Duke's private life was also chaotic, but looking at Hollywood, he definitely belongs to the more restrained type.
When leaving, Duke met Anne Hathaway and her boyfriend again. The big-mouthed actress smiled very brightly and kept showing her happiness and love at the party.
Duke didn't care either. No matter which woman she could find a boyfriend with such a prominent identity, she would probably be like Anne Hathaway.
Anne Hathaway does have a reason to be happy. Killing the siege and getting the heroine of Duke’s new film means that her acting career is about to turn over; having a boyfriend who is acting for the Vatican’s business affairs means spending a long time. Worry-free...
No matter how you look at it, she seems to be approaching the winner in life.
Even, Anne Hathaway’s eyes have turned to another actress of the same age, who is a recognized representative of Hollywood actresses born in the 80s. Perhaps with Duke’s masterpiece, she can catch up with Nata. Li Portman even surpassed her?
Just like when people think of actresses born in the 60s and 70s, Julia Roberts first comes to mind, so Anne Hathaway also wants to be a representative of those born in the 80s!
However, it is not easy to do all this. In places she can't see, the fierce competition between films often affects the actors. (To be continued...)
