"Sorry, sir. ○"

As soon as he walked to the backstage entrance, Duke was stopped, "You can't enter here."

“I’m a director…”

"Feel sorry……"

It is obvious that the other party does not know him at all, which can be said to be the sorrow of directors in this era. Apart from the popularity of the movie and the exciting time of topics, ordinary audiences rarely pay attention to the directors standing behind the scenes. It is normal for many people who like a director's movie but do not know the director himself.

Duke was also a little helpless. After coming with his mother last night, he specially checked the poster of "Forty-Second Street". It was indeed the familiar name. He took the time to come over again tonight, but was stopped by someone.

"I am a director and want to find one of you actors to play in my work."

This is Duke's real purpose, but the other party doesn't believe it at all. There are probably many scammers who came here under this banner in the past.

"Who are you looking for? I can convey it for you."

"I'll look for Miss Jones." Duke handed over a card, "This is my business card."

"Duke Rosenberg?"

The man was not surprised, but looked at Duke with a suspicious look, as if he didn't believe that the director who caused a violent response in Xia Tian would be so young.

"Please wait." Perhaps the business card did work, and the man muttered a few words to his companions, turned around and walked in.

The backstage of the theater is not as glamorous as the stage, and is even a little dilapidated. Sitting in the narrow dressing room, several young girls are busy taking off their makeup. The fastest one is already taking off their performance makeup and applying a light base makeup for themselves.

She is very clear about her strengths and weaknesses. With just a suitable light makeup, she can look bright and glamorous. If she doesn't wear makeup, she will look pale and listless.

The knock on the door suddenly rang out. Someone opened a crack in the door, exposed his head and talked to the people outside for a few words, and then shrank back.

"Kate, this is for you."

The woman's relationship with her seemed to be average. She threw a card on the dressing table in front of her.

"Is your admirer again?"

Another plump young woman next to her seemed to have a good relationship with her, so she picked up the card directly, "Kate, the admirers of the past always mixed their business cards with flowers and gifts. Some people were so ignorant that they only sent one business card."

"No matter what you send, for me, there is only one place to go."

The woman named Kate seemed to care nothing, "That's the trash can. Isn't it, Rachel?"

"That's the person who touched you didn't show up."

Rachel shrugged and turned back, her sarcastic smile flashed. She knew that although the woman next to her had experienced the failure of making Hollywood, her heart was higher than the sky.

"Maybe the person who gave the business card is a big Hollywood director!" Only she herself could hear the ridicule in the sentence she said later.

But when she turned over the white back and saw the front of the business card with only name, occupation and phone number, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe it at all...

Isn't this true? A famous Hollywood director, the most famous recently rising person, is really waiting for this woman next to him?

Subconsciously, Rachel wanted to throw his business card into the trash can at her feet.

But she was smart, and Kate next to her was not a fool either. She came over quietly, "Whose name would surprise you?"

As he said that, he took the business card back.

Before Kate could see the name on his business card, Rachel suddenly said, "Hey, sisters! There is amazing good news! Kate just received the business card of Hollywood director Duke Rosenberg!"

There was no exclamation in the dressing room, nor was there any legendary celebration of sisterly affection. Others did not move, either doubt or disbelief, but the most common thing was jealousy and indifference in their eyes!

"Congratulations, Kate, you have another chance to go to Hollywood to develop."

The sudden resounding words seemed to be congratulations, but they had other undepressed smells, "I hope you will come back as a successful person this time."

Kate seemed to be deaf about these words, his eyes drifting across Rachel's face like a needle. The woman made her a public enemy in the dressing room with just one sentence.

Moreover, no one knows whether this business card is true or not. If it is fake, she will inevitably be laughed at by these women.

"Kate, I have no other meaning..." Rachel looked innocent.

Nodded, Kate packed up his bag, put on his coat, and walked towards the door. As soon as he walked out of the dressing room, the sound of high heels falling to the ground sounded behind him, and Rachel actually followed.

"Let's go together." She looked like a deep sisterly relationship.

"Sorry, Miss Weizi." Kate turned and walked towards the dressing room, "I forgot to bring something."

Seeing the back disappearing at the door of the dressing room, Rachel whispered "Bi Chi" and walked forward. If the business card was real, the director from Hollywood would probably be waiting at the exit of the backstage...

"Director Rosenberg, please sit down."

The manager of the theater shook hands with Duke and ordered the people next to him, "Go and invite Miss Jones quickly!"

Just now, when he passed the exit of the backstage, he saw Duke. He hesitated for a moment, but went up to talk for a few words, then confirmed Duke's identity, and quickly invited him to the manager's office.

"I didn't expect you were interested in our plays."

Hearing the other party's compliment, Duke said politely, "It's great. It's my second time tonight."

After a few words of politeness, the door of the room was knocked on. A woman about 5 feet and 6 inches tall walked in with her feet in flat shoes.

She has long, dark brown, almost black flowing hair, a pair of charming amber-like eyes, and is born with a unique romantic temperament. Her delicate face combines classical and wild charm. Her body wrapped in a tight coat is simply synonymous with beauty and sexy.

When she looked at Duke quietly, she was completely elegant in the classic British lady; when she shook hands with Duke enthusiastically, her whole body was filled with a fiery wild beauty.

"Hello, Director Rosenberg..." She seemed a little incoherent, "I didn't expect it to be you."

"You're welcome. Miss Jones."

After directing so many films, the other party has not had Oscar-level acting skills in the future. Duke can tell whether it is a performance. "I watched your singing and dancing performance yesterday and today, and I was very impressed."

"Thank you." She looked at the theater manager and sat on the sofa next to Duke. "Call me Kate or Katherine."

"You talk." The theater manager stood up at this time, "I still have work to deal with."

After the theater manager left, Duke observed her calmly, and the other party sat there quietly, like the most elegant British lady.

"Kate, your singing and dancing performance is very infectious." Duke didn't waste time and went straight to the topic, "Don't you know you're planning to go to Hollywood?"

"Hollywood?" she hesitated for a moment, and said. "In fact, I've been to Los Angeles in 1992, but I've accomplished nothing and had to return to London."

She knew how difficult it would be for outsiders to enter Hollywood, and if she was not a British person, but from mainland Europe, she would not even get those small characters.

"You are born in a musical and dance drama, so you should know "Chicago"?"

Seeing her nodding, Duke continued, "Now the adaptation of "Chicago" is in my hands. At most a year, I will bring it to the big screen, and I have been paying attention to the right actress."

That's right, Duke bought the right to adapt the movie "Chicago" from Broadway.

The right actress?

Catherine Zeta Jones was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that the director in front of him could be described as a suitable actress. He must be one of the two heroines. He was delighted, and then shocked.

Happy, because this is an opportunity to be a heroine, and it is adapted from Broadway classic musicals. She is a musical actor, she has been learning to dance since she was six years old and has won the All-English tap dance competition. There is no better role for her to rush into Hollywood than this.

As for the surprise...

It comes from the style of the director opposite. If he directed such a movie himself, what would it be like?

Zeta Jones could not imagine what would the world look like if Duke Rosenberg, a director who was named an explosion-maker by the media and movie fans, had to direct a song and dance film spread?

Shocking eyes? Smile all over the ground? Or feeling the end of the world...

"Can I?" she asked tentatively.

"If you have the interest in audition, you can study the role of Velma if you have time."

Katherine Zeta Jones is not the future. Duke will not naively think that she will have her future acting skills, nor will he guarantee anything. "Your singing and dancing skills are excellent. I personally think you are very suitable for this role, if you can meet my requirements."

After two nights of observation, Duke had enough confidence in Catherine Zeta Jones' singing and dancing, but his acting skills were not satisfactory.

He looked at his watch and probably his mother, who was visiting friends, was about to go back to the hotel. He stood up and said, "If you are interested, you can call me."

"Mr. Rosenberg..."

Katherine Zeta Jones, who had been thinking, seemed to have made a decision, took out his bag, took out his business card, and handed it to Duke, "If the video starts preparing, please let me know, okay? Thank you!"

In this film, the heroine's performance is the top priority. Duke thought about it and said, "Your singing and dancing is not a problem. The acting needs to be strengthened. I hope you can see your outstanding performance during the audition."

After saying that, he stopped stopping, walked out of the theater, and hurried towards the hotel.

Zeta Jones, who stayed in the manager's room, has called her agent to ask her how she can improve as much as possible within a year. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
