Carrying a large suitcase in one hand, Duke walked out of Zeta Jones' rented house, walked through the lawn of the vestibule, came to the back of the SUV parked on the side of the road, opened the rear compartment, and put the suitcase in it. Then Zeta Jones and his agent Vivian walked over with two large tote bags. Anyone with some experience understands that this is moving.

The reporters and paparazzi around them frequently pressed their hands on the camera at a distance, and even reporters equipped with DV cameras recorded Duke and their actions in the camera in full.

This was originally the result of this operation. It must be the reporters who were contacted by Pani Kelis. As long as they didn't get close, Duke wouldn't look at them. He called Zeta Jones and the others to take the car and drove towards Malibu.

The SUV has not turned out of the intersection yet, and the motorcycle car behind it has already followed a large number of people. The paparazzi reporters who thought they had caught the heavy information would not let them go easily.

"It seems we're going to grab the headlines of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman."

Duke looked at the rearview mirror and said to Zeta Jones, who was co-pilot, "They just made the entertainment headlines today, and I guess they wouldn't mind."

What was hyped most by gossip media today was the Cruise couple's trip to the hospital. The news that those guys dug out from the hospital was that Nicole Kidman might be pregnant...

This was definitely an explosive news, everything about the two immediately became a hot topic, the crazy hype momentum of the media even made Duke doubt at one point whether Nicole Kidman was really pregnant?

If Nicole Kidman is really pregnant, will the fate of the Tom Cruise couple change this?

To be honest, after working together in "Chicago", Duke's inherent impression of Tom Cruise has changed a lot. The young and famous Liang Tang is indeed not very good at being a human being, and his arrogant personality is very easy to offend people, but no one can deny his hard work. Liang Tang is a qualified or even extremely diligent actor.

Conflicts between people are often caused by interests. Deepening due to barriers and long-term cooperation will bring about some changes, and conflicts may become more acute. They may also be eased due to understanding.

The two have common interests in "Chicago". They once worked together to dig a trap to pit Mel Gibson. The relationship between them can be said to have eased a lot. With no obvious conflict of interest now, Duke gradually faded his idea of ​​cheating Cruise. As long as the soup does not violate his interests in the future, the two can maintain this state.

As long as he is not arrogant enough to do things in a mess, he will go his own way in the future.

"Chicago" will be expanded this weekend. It is not enough for the Cruise and his wife to occupy the entertainment headlines, so Duke is also working hard to grab the headlines.

A string of journalists and paparazzi followed them directly to the beach villa area in Malibu. It seemed that they had to see Catherine Zeta Jones move into his house in person to give up. When Duke arrived at the door of his Duke's estate, he couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw the Fox TV bus parked nearby.

This is the favor that Twentieth Century Fox gave him.

Of course, the broadcaster of Fox TV was contacted by Pany Kellis, and Duke delayed the collection of part of the box office share of "Save Private Ryan". In order to alleviate the financial pressure of 20th Century Fox, the other party owed a small favor. In addition, this hype and publicity was originally the usual style of Fox TV Entertainment Channel, so the other party simply made the situation bigger.

Captured by countless cameras and camera lenses, Duke drove the SUV into the manor, and the car stopped directly in front of the eye villa. Pani Kellis and Nancy Josephson were already waiting here, while the butler Emma took Duke's luggage with several servants to take over Duke's luggage from the car.

"Is it going well?" Kellis asked.

Duke walked towards the villa first and said to Panicalis and Nancy Joseph who were following him, "Nothing is different from the past except bringing a bunch of flies."

During non-film production time, Duke has always been low-key, and once he enters the work stage, he will find ways to promote his work.

He told him clearly and clearly that the quality of the movie is only the basis of success, and sufficient publicity is a necessary means. He never wanted to wait for someone to justify himself many years later like "The Shawshank Redemption". This is a circle with extremely high forgetfulness and elimination rates. One more failure may bring many unthinkable negative effects.

Duke and others walked in front, while Catherine Zeta Jones and Vivian followed the last.

"Kate..."

Looking at Duke's tall back, Vivian whispered, "Work hard, your future is in front of you."

Catherine Zeta Jones looked straight ahead and said firmly, "Come in, I didn't want to leave again!"

Entering the living room, Duke asked Tinafe to help him greet the guests, and walked towards the second floor with Zeta Jones and the servant who was carrying the luggage. The second floor was mainly a residential area, and Duke had prepared a room for Zeta Jones.

Pushing away a redecorated room, Duke said to Zeta Jones who was following him, "Kate, this is your room."

“We don’t live…”

Before Zeta Jones's question could be heard, Duke pinched her face and interrupted her, "Kate, you are my honorable guest, of course I want to entertain you grandly."

Asking the servant to put his luggage in, Duke waved his head to Zeta Jones, who was flickering eyes, "I'll take you to visit."

After walking around the second floor, Duke took her to the third floor again. Zeta Jones said very little during the whole process. Duke could roughly guess what she was thinking, but ignored it at all. He believed that female stars like her and Charlize Theron had unrealistic ideas, there were, there were, and there would be, in the future.

As long as you are not a fool, everyone knows the benefits of climbing a top director to his future career.

Walking slowly through the corridor on the third floor, Duke stopped in front of a room, turned to look at Zeta Jones, and said seriously, "Kate, you can go to all the places in the manor, but except for two."

Zeta Jones didn't speak, but looked at Duke.

Duke tilted his head and signaled the room beside him, "This is my mom's bedroom. She doesn't like others entering her room."

As he said that, he pointed to another room at the end of the corridor, "That is my study, and no one else can enter except Tina and Emma."

"I get it." Zeta Jones nodded slightly.

"Let's go down." Duke took the lead in walking towards the stairs and continued, "Today is your first day to move here. Emma has prepared a party for you. Zach and John will bring their female companions here later."

Just like Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman gossip, Duke and Zeta Jones have also become the focus of the gossip media care this weekend. According to the publicity plan formulated by Pany Kellis, this is also the last step. After the relevant news gradually fermented, what she should consider next is how to find the right opportunity and excuses to officially let Duke end this relationship that exists for publicity.

In terms of conventional publicity, Warner Bros. is also making efforts, and the two types of publicity methods have formed effective complementarity. The nostalgic crowd still maintains great enthusiasm, and the cases of young people have also improved significantly.

In addition, the huge investment in publicity has also attracted a lot of audiences from other films screened at the same time.

Especially Miramax's "The Patient in the UK", the film's expanded screening, but its attendance has declined significantly. Because the theme of the film itself is very dull, almost no teenage audience is willing to watch it, especially since there is no heavyweight film this weekend. After the popularity of "Star Trek First Strike" was quickly lost, it was influenced by various publicity and hype, and many teenage audiences chose "Chicago".

Like media reports and comments, "Chicago" is definitely not boring. If your heart is biased against musical and dance films, it is unsolvable. If you can watch it seriously, you will be attracted by its gorgeous song and dance and thick black humor, and the rhythm of this film is compact enough and fast enough.

In the theater in Los Angeles, a "Chicago" screening ended. Jones and his companions walked out of the theater and were still discussing the movie just now.

"Shamelessness is portrayed as art by Duke in black, while kindness is ignored."

Jones said to his companions as he walked, "Murder is an art, lawyers are top-notch acting stars, and that era was terrible."

His companions reminded, "Don't forget, the story is set in Chicago, the capital of sin."

At this time, Jones' phone rang, he answered and said a few words, and his voice gradually increased, "Did you go to watch "The Patient in the UK"? How do you feel? It's very dull? Haha, here I just ended, "Chicago" is the same as the promotion, it's very interesting. I suggest you go and watch it."

On Sunday afternoon, after nearly ten days of audience reputation fermentation and intensive publicity and hype, the latest statistics show that the number of teenage audiences in the afternoon of "Chicago" was screened that afternoon.

This is undoubtedly good news when the enthusiasm of the nostalgic group is about to retreat. Even if the popularity of the film decreases, there will be no shortage of audiences.

"Chicago" also showed strong enough momentum. Although more than 1,800 theaters are far from "Star Trek First Strike", their occupancy has been far ahead this weekend. Not only has the total number of viewers not lagged behind, but it has firmly surpassed "Star Trek First Strike".

At the beginning of the new week, "Chicago" achieved a counterattack beyond everyone's expectations. (To be continued.) xh118
