Vol 2 Chapter 636: New production manager

At the end of the meeting, Duke did not wait much, exchanged a few more words with Doug Walter, and then joined Tina Fei and walked towards the outside of the building.
When the two walked into the elevator and waited for the elevator, Duke remembered something and said, "Tina, remember to inform Nancy and let her see if there is any sexy, beautiful, and basic acting under ICM. Young actresses, it’s best not to be over 22 years old..."
Tina Fei took out a small notebook from her bag and quickly wrote it down.
She knew that this must be a matter of work, not that her boss wanted to return to the past lifestyle.
Having said that, as long as Duke thinks about it now, how many people, including first-tier Hollywood actresses, will reject him?
The elevator door opened and Duke walked in first, and when Tina Fei came in, he said again, "Let Nancy sort out the information, and send it over after I finish my vacation."
"I think Nancy must be happy to do this." Tina Fei put away the notebook and smiled and said, "It seems that her company has signed a few new actresses, and they have been selling to various crews recently."
Duke nodded. Since there is an opportunity, this kind of opportunity must be given priority to those around him.
From the initial signing to the present, Nancy?] Josephson can be said to be a very competent agent, and has never done anything against him.
The elevator door opened, Duke walked out, stepped a little faster, and soon came to the front hall of the building, Tina Fei, as usual, was slightly behind by half a position and followed behind.
Just walked past the front desk, Tina Fei's phone rang. After she answered, she said, "Charles' call. He is also at Warner, and wants to talk to you about something."
"Tell him that we are waiting for him in the lounge in the front hall."
After speaking, Duke walked to the rest area on the right, chose a small round table with no one, and sat beside him. Tina Fei followed and sat on the opposite side.
Behind Duke, a tall girl suddenly turned her head back, first looked at Tina Fei curiously, then her eyes fell on Duke’s back, hesitated for a few seconds, or stood up and walked away. come.
"Hello, Director Rosenberg..."
She is like a large Barbie doll, smiling and stretching out a hand.
Turned. Duke glanced at her, as always, stood up politely, and shook her hand gently, "Hello, Miss Swift."
"Taylor."
The girl's voice sounded sweet, "Call me Taylor."
"Hello, Tyler."
Seeing her eyes turned curiously to Tina Fei. Duke casually introduced, "This is my assistant. Miss Tina Fei."
"Hello, Tina." She shook hands with Tina Fey again, and said smartly, "I heard Nancy mentioned you."
When she said this, Duke suddenly remembered that he had seen her at the premiere of "The Dark Knight." It seems to be a new client signed by Nancy Josephson recently.
"Can I call you Duke?"
The girl was quite smart and didn’t make any excessive behaviors. She just said concisely,
Originally, I only liked movies like "True Love First". After watching "The Dark Knight" last time, I discovered that action science fiction movies can do this Interesting, I found all your previous movies, and have watched a few..."
"Thank you." Duke said flatly.
"It's a pity that I'm too busy at work, and I'm preparing to release a new album..." There was a pity on her face, "There is too little leisure time. I'm afraid it will take a long time to watch all your films."
A blonde woman came across, and Taylor Swift smiled sweetly, "My mother is here, I should go to Warner Records, goodbye Duke, goodbye Tina."
"Goodbye." Duke nodded to her.
Taylor Swift moved his two long legs to join the middle-aged woman, and quickly disappeared at the elevator door.
"Are the girls like this now?" Tina Fei looked over there, "Is that smart at a young age?"
"People who are not smart enough and have no scheming, how can they get ahead in this circle?" Duke laughed, "Even if you are lucky and succeed, you might become the second Britney Spears."
How many people still think that Britney Spears can become the next Madonna Sikoni?
Duke has dealt with Madonna, and although the other party's private life is horribly corrupt, his IQ and EQ are far above average.
Thinking of this, he also turned to look at the elevator. At the turn of the century, there were four major popular divas in North America: Madonna Sicconi, Celine Dion, Maria Carey and Whitney Houston. Because of her skin color, nationality and popularity, Madonna Sikoni is a well-deserved eldest sister.
To be the next Madonna is undoubtedly the goal of all female singers.
The person who was really close to this goal was not Britney Spears, but Taylor Swift. In order to achieve this goal, she not only went out of the village, but also made an endless stream of various methods.
The team behind her must have played a key role, but her own abilities should not be underestimated. Otherwise, like Britney Spears, if so many messy things happen, even if the team behind Duke is asked to support her. Not much effect.
After Charles Rowan came over, Duke threw these things aside, and an ordinary female singer did not deserve his attention too much.
"What's up?"
Looking at his partner, Duke couldn't help being curious, "So anxious?"
"I just want to say hello to you as soon as possible." Charles Rowan looked at him and said with a smile, "I'm going to take a long vacation for myself. The past few years are really tired, Duke, your new work A new production manager is needed."
"How long are you going to rest?" Duke frowned.
Although Charles Rowan may seem inconspicuous in the crew, this is exactly the way a successful production manager should do things. In the set, the authority of the director must be maintained.
For so many years, Duke has also become accustomed to handing over the chores of the crew to Charles Rowan. Without him, the operation of the crew will be no problem, but he feels that awkwardness will definitely be there.
"One year." Charles Rowan thought for a while, then said, "Duke, it's been fifteen years since our first cooperation. You must have overlooked one thing. I'm sixty years old. Some I can't keep up with you."
Several times throughout Hollywood, how many directors can basically maintain the production of one movie a year? And almost all of them are big investments and big productions.
These films need Charles Rowan to do too much work from preparation to shooting to post.
"Since last year, I feel that my energy is not as strong as before."
With a long sigh, Charles Rowan pointed to his haggard face, "Give me some time to rest."
No one can contend with the laws of nature. Duke understood this and slowly nodded, "Then I will wait for you to come back."
Then, Duke frowned, Charles Rowan wanted a long vacation, Robin Grande was in charge of the Harry Potter series in London, and he needed to find a new production manager.
After working with Duke for so many years, Charles Rowan roughly guessed what he was thinking, and suddenly turned to Tina Fei, and said directly, "Duke, I recommend Tina to take my place."
"Me?" Tina Fei was taken aback for a moment.
Duke also turned his head to look at Tina Fei, and then slowly nodded.
Since more than ten years ago, Tina Fei has followed him to work on the crew. Over the years, he has accumulated countless experiences, and there is no problem in terms of seniority or ability.
Another important point is that the Duke Studio has been acquired by Time Warner in a share swap, and Tina Fei’s need to replace Duke is also reducing. The negotiation with Google on Instant Sharing has been basically reached although no formal agreement has been signed. Consistent, she doesn't have to deal with the remaining minor details.
"I think it can."
Hearing these words from Duke, Tina Fei opened her hands and said, "Since the boss has spoken, I can only try to do it."
"Don't worry now." Duke stood up, "There is still some time before the preparation of the new project."
Charles Rowan also stood up and joked, "I'm going to start my long vacation, but unfortunately your yacht has not been built yet, otherwise, I can take my family and sail around the world."
"Don't worry, there will be a chance in the future." Duke lightly patted Charles Rowan's arm, "This time next year, you will be able to realize your wish to sail around the world."
The construction of airplanes and yachts takes time, and now it is far from being delivered.
Walking outside the building, Charles Rowan remembered another thing, "When I came back from London, Bell had already been released on bail, so there should be no trouble."
"I know."
Duke didn't seem to care much.
During the promotion of "The Dark Knight" in London, Christian Bale had a problem. He had a physical conflict with his sister and mother. The latter two reported the incident and called the police. People from New Scotland Yard took Bale away. His lawyers and crew have already come forward to make bail.
In fact, Duke knows very well that behind many Hollywood stars, there are a group of superb family members.
For example, the father of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, Julia Roberts' unreliable brother...
This is just a small matter and will not have much impact on "The Dark Knight". Compared to Bell's negative news, the British gang composed of a large number of actors in this film has attracted more attention from British fans.
However, on a new weekend, the form facing "The Dark Knight" is quite severe. Sony Columbia Pictures' "Spider-Man 3" will be released simultaneously in 107 countries and regions including North America. (To be continued...)
