Chapter 186 The Queen
This is a typical Nordic woman with beautiful long golden brown hair, her high heels are almost flat height of Duke, her blue eyes are as bright as gemstones, her pointed chin sets off her tough face, and the rose-red dress supported by her broad shoulders looks extremely compatible.
If she doesn't look at her face, her figure looks a bit like Charlize Theron, and she is a typical example of tall and wide shoulders.
Such women mature early. Just looking at their appearance, Duke cannot tell the exact age, and it is estimated that they are between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two.
Unlike those gorgeous Hollywood actresses, she is not very beautiful, or her makeup is obviously not a gorgeous route.
The earth-colored makeup highlights a steady and dignified temperament. The faint nose shadow and orange blush make the facial features look more three-dimensional. The coral lip makeup and the tones of the entire makeup are highly unified, which matches the whole temperament, giving people a fashionable but elegant feeling.
After about ten seconds, Duke recalled who the other party was, after all, he had just said hello.
"Should I call you Your Highness? Or Your Excellency?" Duke seemed very polite.
Victoria chuckled softly, "Will Americans care about this?"
From Duke's perspective, the other party showed eight teeth. Obviously, after systematic training, he smiled similarly, "Not all Americans are vulgar countrymen."
“That’s just the British view.”
While saying this, Victoria looked at the crowd, a member of the British royal family with the title of duke, and his chin was almost raised to his forehead, "Call me Vicky or Alice."
"You can call me Duke, too."
The crown prince from the Swedish royal family seemed to be more popular and did not have so many cumbersome polite words. After chatting with Duke with a few movies I just watched, he said, "I am very curious about the United States and I have always wanted to go to the United States to study for a university after finishing high school in France."
"Vicky, I suggest you choose the New York University Film Institute or the USC Film Academy."
The other party is not acting like a princess. Duke will also say a few jokes that suit the situation, "You have a lot of insights in the movies, and you may not be able to achieve something different in this regard."
This is purely to make high school girls like Princess Victoria happy. Even fools know that the Swedish crown prince cannot be a film director. However, Duke's identity is different after all. What he said in an extremely serious tone by a top Hollywood director like him is still very useful.
“It’s a great time to chat with you.”
No matter how steady and dignified she looks, it cannot change the fact that she is a little girl. The smile on Princess Victoria's face is more natural and sincere. Instead of the trained appearance just now, "I have also met several French film directors. Their words are always related to art. If you can't talk a few words, you will lose interest."
"It's my honor to chat with you." Duke's words were filled with jokes, "Your Highness, Beautiful."
Although it is not a flower that is completely raised in a greenhouse, it really needs to be discussed in terms of knowledge, especially topics like movies and entertainment circles that are interesting to little girls. Princess Victoria is far inferior to Duke, and it is probably difficult to meet someone who can talk about these with her. Princess Victoria and Duke seem to be very speculative in their conversations, and even Duke asked about his age in a vague way.
Perhaps compared to ordinary high school students, Princess Victoria is smart and sophisticated enough, but in front of Duke, she is just a little smart and socially experienced girl under 18 years old.
The two of them walked towards the terrace where there were few people. Although Princess Victoria's servants followed behind them, Duke ignored them at all and kept talking about topics that Her Royal Highness was very interested in.
"Actors are not easy to do, especially those recognized as actors like Tom."
During the temptation just now, Duke had already learned that she liked Tom Hanks very much, so he pulled up the tiger skin of Tom without hesitation.
Walking to the terrace and standing in front of the railing, Duke looked at her and asked, "Do you remember there was a scene of Captain Miller crying silently in the video?"
"Remember!" Princess Victoria nodded quickly, "Mr. Hanks' acting skills are really great!"
"To act this scene well," Duke changed into a mysterious tone, approached a little, and said in a low voice in the girl's ear, "Tom put in a lot of effort. I heard from Colin that Tom's eldest son, he said that during the Christmas holiday, Tom often sat alone on the side to shed tears in order to practice this scene. When it was time for the shooting, the camera ended, and for five minutes, Tom's tears never stopped!"
"God, he worked hard."
Princess Victoria stepped back a little, as if she was following the etiquette and widening the distance with Duke, but after Duke talked about this secret, she immediately took the initiative to distance herself, as if she was just sharing the secret with her good friend.
"If you have a chance in the future," Princess Victoria seemed to have a little yearning. After all, looking at that circle from a distance, it always looked particularly bright and beautiful. "I really want to go to Hollywood to see it."
Duke responded at the right time, "I can introduce you to Hollywood."
In fact, he knew very well that this kind of thing was to say. After all, the status of the crown prince is not comparable to that of the British Welsh princess, and he would be more cautious in his actions.
Of course, if the Swedish crown prince can be involved with Hollywood, the media in Europe and the United States should thank him.
“It’s a great time to chat with you.”
After the servants behind came to remind him, Princess Victoria took the initiative to extend her hand to Duke, "It's getting late, I have to rush back to the school in Paris, and I have to say goodbye."
"Paris?" Duke gently held it in her hand, "The crew will go to Paris to promote next week, I don't know..."
Princess Victoria understood Duke's meaning, got closer, whispered a string of numbers, and said, "I can take you to the Seine."
After the Normandy landing anniversary, "Save Private Ryan" entered the main ticket market in Europe, from England to Ireland, France to Germany, and from Sweden to Italy, the films accounted for nearly 60% of the screens of mainstream theaters, and the huge publicity also set off a craze for viewing in Europe.
Just like the propaganda in North America, veterans who participated in World War II were also the top priority of European propaganda. Many veterans from Britain and France sang hymns to the film. After the crew arrived in London, the main cast and crew led by Tom Hanks frequently appeared in public and attended various publicity activities to create momentum for the release of the film in the European market.
Many tabloids from Fleet Street are deeply controlled and influenced by News Corporation. In a short period of time, the focus of tracking and reporting was completely on the crew, constantly revealing gossip scandals about crew members, so as to attract the attention of this country with the highest gossip in the world.
As the film spent its first weekend in Europe, it also attracted the attention of many European directors.
"The media can't wait to sing praises to Duke Rosenberg, believing that he has produced landmark works in war films."
Putting down the coffee cup heavily made Pierre Gene look disdainful. "Even if the film's humanistic care is touching and the war scenes are realistic, it cannot cover up the fact that this is a pure commercial movie. Duke Rosenberg is just a component on the vulgar Hollywood assembly line. "Save Private Ryan" is just an extension of his destructive desire and commercial means!"
"What Let's say makes sense!"
Several French directors gathered in the cafe, some of whom were echoing, "Duke Rosenberg and his Hollywood do not understand what art is!"
"Please don't forget that Hollywood movies have occupied more than 90% of the market share in Europe!"
The fat man sitting in the corner is Lucbesson, who was rejected by the European film circle. "I just got the latest data of "Save Private Ryan". In the third weekend of North America, the box office in North America was 16.65 million US dollars, and the box office in North America was 191.12 million US dollars! The first week of the UK was 7.89 million US dollars, France was 6.87 million US dollars, Germany was 8.52 million US dollars, Spain was 4.21 million US dollars, Australia was 4.11 million US dollars... The overseas box office exceeded 60 million US dollars in the first week!"
The cafe fell into a brief silence, and Lucbesson watched it from these companions with low vision and continued, "Duke Rosenberg is only 25 years old, but his movies swept the world. Can't this bring us some tips? Can't European movies learn something from him? Should we give up the European market completely to Hollywood?"
Lucbesson's words resonated with a few people, but more people were shaking their heads, obviously not agreeing with the fat man's words.
“Learn from Duke Rosenberg and Hollywood?”
Finally, Pierre Genet, the oldest in the scene, broke the silence, with a strong tone of disdain, "Let business and money defile the elegant art of movies? Luc, you have been in Hollywood for a while..."
Listening to the other party’s long-term discussion on art, what else did Luke Besson say? The art in these people’s eyes is actually Tututuo! Is the so-called disdain for Hollywood movies really disdain?
For example, Jean Pierre Genet, who always despises Duke Rosenberg and Hollywood, just accepted the invitation some time ago and was preparing to direct "Alien 4" in Hollywood. Could it be that this is also for art? Can he make Alien into an art film?
Or, he wanted the alien to have a relationship with the heroine...
Thinking of this, Lucbesson slowly shook his head, stood up and walked out of the cafe, no longer looking back. In his opinion, European films have such a group of directors who control their voice, and will only continue to weaken in the future, and even get closer and closer to the death line.
"Save the Soldier" spent its first weekend in overseas markets, and Duke led the crew to Paris. (To be continued...)
