Chapter 238 The Mysterious Veil

When the RV passed through Forty-Second Street, Duke could see the huge billboard standing in the movie version of "Chicago" in the central Broadway area through the car window. Just like the billboard, among the crowd who love musicals, Warner Bros. did a lot of targeted publicity and investigation, and then chose to put the premiere of the film in Times Square, at the junction of Forty-Second Street and Broadway Avenue. △

Retracting her gaze, Duke turned to look at Catherine Zeta Jones. She was wearing a black shoulder strap evening gown, her chest was so deep that it was very low, and nearly half of the round and plump were exposed outside. Although the weather in New York was already cold, the temperature was completely negligible for actresses who were used to playing on the red carpet.

"Duke, I have communicated with the reporter who asked the question."

The car gradually approached Times Square, and Pany Kellis, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned around and told, "All of them are questions set in advance, don't forget your answer."

"Don't worry, Pani." Duke pointed to his forehead, "I've remembered it all in it."

Reporter who can get interview rights at the premiere cannot ask questions casually. Most of the questions need to be reviewed by the organizer. It is often easier to deal with these pre-set questions.

"Dear, what do you think?"

Turning his head to look at Zeta Jones, Duke asked, "Are you nervous?"

"Why am I still nervous when I walk through the Oscar red carpet?" Zeta Jones smiled sweetly, holding Duke's arm tightly with one hand, "Okay, I'm a little nervous. This is my first premiere in North America after all!"

"You'll get used to it soon."

As soon as Duke finished speaking, the RV stopped in front of the red carpet. He pushed open the door and got out first, then turned around and pulled Zeta Jones out, ignoring the flashes on both sides. His fingers were tightly clasped on Zeta Jones' fingers and walked straight towards the theater.

Zeta Jones also went to the fan's office holding her poster to sign the autograph. Duke waited for a while. The two did not stay on the red carpet for too long and soon walked into the interview area. Many people in the crew were waiting here. They either received an interview or took a photo in front of the media.

The finale of the premiere was Tom Cruise. The beautiful soup of this era has not been slandered by many people. It has a healthy and uplifting image and has amazing appeal. When he and Nicole Kidman walked on the red carpet together, they completely pushed the show tonight's premiere tonight's premiere to**.

Ren Shi has been hyping up the so-called story of Duke and Zeta Jones' love for movies recently, but the big directors are simply incomparable to big stars in this regard.

Standing in the interview area, Duke and Zeta Jones also accepted interviews from Warner's media. Just as Panny Kellis said, the questions were almost all preset in advance, and the interviews about the film were basically the same. What Duke said was how the crew worked hard, how happy the cooperation was, and how secrets were revealed in the shooting.

"Duke, are you dating Miss Jones?" The reporter finally asked this question.

Katherine Zeta Jones looked at Duke affectionately, and Duke turned his head and looked at her. He said solemnly, "Kate is my muse!"

Some things need not be said too directly. The two of them can already explain too many problems when they are linked together.

Next are some routine activities, such as the crew members standing under the sponsor’s billboard, taking photos with actors or directors and actors.

Found the opportunity, Charlize Theron stood beside Duke. She smiled at the reporter and asked, "Why is it her?"

"Who?" Duke didn't understand.

"Why did you choose that British woman as your girlfriend?"

Charlize Theron had a very bright smile, but his words were filled with a hint of coldness, "I can't understand it yet!"

"Sally!" Duke's voice was also cold, "This is my private matter."

After saying that, Duke turned around and walked towards the theater door. Catherine Zeta Jones was waiting there, but behind him there was the sound of high heels falling to the ground, and Charlize Theron chased after him.

“Duke…”

She was about to say something, and Zeta Jones across from had already come over, and her hand quickly put into Duke's arms and looked at the opposite side, "Miss Theron, are you okay?"

These two women are glaring at me and I stare at you, as if they can fight at any time.

Duke glanced at them, and without waiting for the arrogant Zeta Jones to continue, he pulled his arm out of her hand, too lazy to pay attention to these two women who were confused about the situation, and walked into the theater alone.

Charlize Theron seemed to understand something, and suddenly laughed. Catherine Zeta Jones looked at her fiercely, without hiding the disgust in her eyes.

"Kate, can I call you that?" Charlize Theron walked past her and said softly, "I have known Duke for four years, know him better than you. Do you know how our first time happened? I am with Cameron Diaz, three of us! He is a person who likes to pursue freshness and excitement and will not stay by your side for too long!"

"And we have always maintained a relationship with a bedmate."

Finally, after throwing down this light words, Charlize Theron turned and walked into the theater.

In the VIP lounge in the theater, Duke had a simple social engagement and, under the leadership of Tina Fe, he found his mother hiding in the corner.

"Mom..." Duke greeted and looked to the side, "Hi, Erin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm glad you can come."

"This is not only your premiere, but also Anna's premiere. I always have to support you."

Smiling at Duke, Erin Lauder pointed to Anna Prinz who had just walked in, "I'll go over and say hello to Anna."

Watching Erin Lauder go away, Mrs. Leah asks, "George comes over with his new girlfriend. Have you seen him?"

"No." Duke knew that his mother was talking about Lucas, so he shook his head, "Maybe he missed it."

After the two said a few words, George Lucas walked over with a white woman who looked between her thirties and forties. After Duke said hello, he briefly introduced them to both parties.

Duke has never heard of this woman named Lana Mills. According to Lucas's introduction, he was not an insider in the industry. Duke still remembers that Lucas once chose a heavy taste and was not a white man.

"I'll come here to see your mother and some of the other old friends," Lucas said to Duke. "It just happened to be your premiere. You don't seem to know, Duke? I'm actually a fan of the "Chicago" musicals."

"If the adaptation is not satisfied," Duke joked, "George, you should also say a few good things to me in front of the media."

"Of course there is no problem."

Everyone laughed, and George Lucas changed the topic, "I have another purpose in New York. Before Christmas, I am going to hold a grand party to promote "Star Wars Prequel: The Ghost Threat", and secondly, I will introduce Lana to you friends and my family."

"I will attend." Mrs. Leah responded directly.

Duke turned around and asked Tina Fei about her own rough schedule and said, "I have no problem either."

Then, he asked with interest, "George, so the Star Wars Prequel is about to officially start?"

"The actor is basically sure, if there is no accident." Lucas nodded and greeted the person passing by, and then said, "The filming will be started next year. Duke, are you interested in coming to play a guest role?"

"I haven't played a cameo in my own movies." Duke shook his head, "It's better to talk about the specific situation."

Not long after, Erin Lauder also came back. She was a direct member of Essi Lauder. George Lucas also invited her. Erin Lauder thought for a while and agreed.

After Robin Grande asked someone to come and remind him, Duke and others walked towards the theater. Zeta Jones also came over, took Duke's arm, and greeted everyone intimately. Mrs. Leah just nodded. Duke had told her the truth about the matter. Although she had some opinions about these Hollywood-style methods, she would not rashly interfere with Duke's work and life.

Walking into the theater, the crew members and guests attending the premiere were all sitting in the front row. The theater, which can accommodate nearly a thousand people, was packed. With the bright lights, Duke sat down and looked around. It was completely different from the premiere of his previous movies, which were mostly young people. The back was filled with middle-aged and elderly audiences, and many of them were even white-haired elderly people.

This is Warner's targeted strategy. The audiences during the early screening of "Chicago" were basically dominated by these nostalgic groups.

After all, singing and dancing films have been too long since their glorious era.

Gru is in his fifties and has watched "Chicago" on Broadway several times as early as the 1970s. Although the weekend is Thanksgiving, he specially brought his wife and daughter in his twenties to come here to see what the movie version will look like.

Not far from them, Allen and Coonites had just sat down. They came to New York for annual leave, and just happened to catch up with the premiere. Neither of them were a fan of music and dance films. When the most prosperous era of music and dance films, they were not born yet and could go to the theater to attend the premiere, just because this was their favorite new film.

On their left was a group of chattering girls. From their comments, we can also tell that this is not a group of music and dance movies, and that age is destined to be related to nostalgia and other things. Their entry into the theater was just a reason - Tom Cruise!

Several people gathered together, talking about the director and the heroine's gossip, which was obviously attracted by the hype.

Although Duke and Tom Cruise enter the theater, the number of people who are not as good as the nostalgic group, they also account for a certain proportion. The cooperation between big stars and big directors has also played its due role.
