ICM, an international innovation management brokerage company, is incomparable to CAA, but it is also one of the five major brokerage companies in North America. If Duke remembers correctly, Julia Roberts, now and in the future, have been their contracted clients for a considerable period of time.

No wonder Naomi Watts was so lucky. It turned out that he was not thrown away by his super thighs like him, but he hugged the same thick thigh...

"Let's go together? My car is in the underground parking lot."

Seeing Duke open the door of the lounge, Naomi Watts quickly said.

She packed her bag in a hurry, and without waiting for Duke to speak, she followed and walked into the elevator with him. As soon as she entered, Duke saw a man paced in the elevator look here and then walked over.

Duke knew this man, the most famous of the critics invited by Twentieth Century Fox, Barty Henry of the New York Daily News.

The professional critic did not mean to talk to Duke, but nodded to him, then walked around Naomi Watts on the other side, and said politely, "Hello, Miss Watts, have you considered the suggestions I made in the afternoon?"

"Sorry..." Naomi Watts suddenly approached this side, "I...I haven't thought about it yet."

"Miss Watts..." The other party got closer, "This is a circle of helping each other, and my suggestions are also the best shortcut."

He took another step forward, and looked at Naomi Watts condescendingly with the help of his height, with a faint threat in his eyes.

"Please..."

Before Naomi Watts finished speaking, he was interrupted, "You haven't been in Hollywood for a long time, and you may not understand the importance of opportunity."

Hearing this, Duke roughly understood something. Seeing Naomi Watts, who had been retreating because he was worried about the other party's pen, took a step forward and blocked her behind him. He also took advantage of his height that exceeded the other party and said condescendingly, "You are too rude, Mr. Henry! This is a public place."

"What did I do?" Barty Henry looked indifferent. "I just wanted to invite Miss Watts for a cup of coffee."

Turning his head slightly, Duke looked at Naomi Watts. He naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to make decisions for her. This was her private matter after all.

Actors who want to become famous naturally appear weak in the face of these critics who can criticize people for being worthless. Naomi Watts declined slightly with a weak politeness, "Mr. Rosenberg asked me to have dinner together."

Then, she gave Duke a sorry look.

Accompanied by the crisp ringtone, the elevator door just opened, and Naomi Watts hurried in. When Duke followed in the elevator, she immediately pressed the closing button and left the film critic who felt very good outside the elevator.

The elevator soon arrived at the parking lot on the first floor of the basement. After leaving the elevator, Duke walked straight to the place where he parked Chevrolet, and Naomi Watts followed from behind.

"My car is here too." She pointed to a red Ford in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Thank you, Duke."

"It's just a little thing." Duke didn't care much.

This kind of thing is countless in Hollywood. In today's era when the media is not open, people like film critics who have the right to speak on the media are also people who need to please actors, and it is not uncommon for people who are willing to pay a special price for a suitable commentary article.

After all, this is Naomi Watts' own choice. If she doesn't refuse, Duke will not stop it. Everyone has the right to choose the path they want to go. As long as they can step onto the top building of Hollywood, who cares about the dark history of the past.

"Really, I'm very grateful for helping me out."

Naomi Watts' words now are more sincere than before, "He was pestering me in the afternoon."

"Do your agent know about this?"

Duke slowed down a little, turned his head and suggested, "You'd better inform her..."

"I told her in the afternoon." Naomi Watts sighed softly, "She lets me choose."

It was a standard agent-style answer. Duke could only sigh so much. He felt that the atmosphere seemed a little heavy, so he simply changed into a half-serious and half-joking tone, "Nami, you made a difficult and right choice."

Among the actresses who dream of becoming famous, not many people can refuse such a deal. You should know that the "New York Daily News" published by Barty Henry's column is the top ten newspapers in the United States.

In Hollywood, actresses have shelf life, and this period is much shorter than that of male actors. It is not an exaggeration to describe actresses as soon as possible. Nancy’s idea is easy to understand. She signed Naomi Watts, not because of the present, but because of her future. If Naomi can become famous earlier and bring her benefits, why stop it?

"Maybe this is a decision that will disappoint Nancy." Naomi Watts doesn't look like a fool either.

It was getting late, and the two waved goodbye, and Duke drove out of the underground parking lot with Chevrolet, avoided the congested streets, and gradually left the range of Beverly Hills.

Put down the window glass beside the driver's seat, and the cool evening breeze immediately poured into the car. Duke's drowsy thinking was instantly awakened by the afternoon preview. Unconsciously, he thought of Naomi Watts. His head was still lustful twice, and then he realized that he was a fool.

Sure enough, few Hollywood women are simple characters.

According to his speculation, Nancy Josephson left after receiving the call, and threw the choice to Naomi Watts, and he had a clear tendency in his heart... As for Miss Watts, it is very likely that Barty Henry was waiting for her answer in the elevator. Since she saw him in the lounge, she had thought of a shield strategy. She hurriedly packed her bag and followed her up and said, "Duke asked her to have supper."

The benefits of doing this are obvious. She can try not to offend Barty Henry, who has a certain media voice, and turn a lot of his anger after being rejected to the shield.

Very smart and know how to protect yourself...

Thinking of this, Duke couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Another world always uses scheming to discredit female celebrities, but in the Hollywood circle, can women without scheming make a comeback?

Although this is all speculation, Duke believes that he should not guess wrong.

When I got home, it was completely dark. Duke parked the car and walked into the brightly lit living room. My mother was sitting on the sofa with glasses and was carefully flipping through something. There was a thick stack of information on the coffee table in front.

"Mom..." Duke greeted him and sat opposite him.

"What is the result of the trial?" Mrs. Leah looked up slightly and looked at him.

"The audience's reputation is very good. I heard from Robin that the overall reputation should be above A."

He picked up a copy from the coffee table information, and Duke said while flipping, "Twentieth Century Fox initially plans to increase the pre-record promotional expenses to $1 million, but it will take a detailed analysis before the real decision."

"It's right to be cautious." Mrs. Leah's eyes returned to the information she was looking at.

Duke also browsed what he had in his hands and asked curiously, "Is this Santa Fia's new business?"

"It's not a part of Santa Fia." Mrs. Leah said in a concise manner, "It's a new business that the company is competing for."

"Cosmetics? Essay Lauder?" Duke soon saw the trademark on the information, "It turned out to be the Qingqing Chaolu perfume."

Although I don’t know much about cosmetics, Duke also knows that although Qingchun Chaolu is not as good as Chanel 5, it is also one of the world’s top perfume brands and is also a signature product under Essay Lauder.

Perhaps seeing Duke's rare concern for San Fia's business, Mrs. Lea, who once wanted to take over, simply introduced a few words, "Youth Chaolu has just changed her spokesperson and wants to create a new advertisement. San Fia is competing and has a great hope to win this business."

Although he wanted to help, Duke gave up thinking about it. He had no idea about the advertising industry, and "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" was about to be released soon. If the preview went smoothly and the film could be released on a large scale in North America, he would definitely have to follow the crew to promote it everywhere, and there wouldn't be so much time.

"If you can get this business next month."

Just as Duke was about to go back upstairs, Mrs. Leah reminded, "I might stay in New York for a while until the commercial was finished."

"I get it, mom." Duke turned back from the stairs, "I will visit New York at that time."

Seeing his mother's hand swaying gently towards this side, Duke turned around and walked towards the second floor, returned to the room and took a shower, came to the studio next door, moved the typewriter to the small round table on the balcony, and typing the buttons while thinking.

Judging from the current situation, "Speed ​​of Life and Death" is gradually getting on the right track. If the film can be successful, the second filming plan will naturally be put on the agenda. The faster the script, the better.

Moreover, Duke has other ideas. After "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" was released, he also had the capital to join the Screenwriters Association, so that he could register the scripts he wrote in the Copyright Office and Screenwriters Association, thus completely occupying the advantage of time and limiting the possibility of future crashes.

After checking at the Screenwriter Association last time, he set a rough shooting plan for himself after "The Speed ​​of Life and Death". Having several scripts in advance will undoubtedly reduce the risks.

If he wrote it himself, it would be a huge workload. Hollywood-style scripts all focus on assembly line homework. Some people are responsible for writing action scenes, some are responsible for writing love scenes, and some are responsible for writing dialogues. What Duke wants to do is to find one or two assistants to help himself write the subsequent scripts.

However, this is also unhurried. It is like finding a personal assistant. He doesn't have that much money now. These plans need to wait until the remaining remuneration for "Life and Death Hour" is received. Although his $100,000 accounted for only one-fifty of the total investment of $15 million, if the film sells well, I think I can get some money.
