The new week has begun, please support!

Leaving New York, Lovett rushed back to Los Angeles on Friday. "Alien 3" is one of the participants as CAA's key packaging project this year, and several of its actors have starred in the movie, so he must not miss the premiere.

Especially Rick Solomon signed by CAA for public relations, Warner Bros., could not reassure him at all. The other party's simple mind is really not suitable for living in Hollywood.

"Pay attention to your words and deeds, Rick!"

Before getting off the car, Lovett once again reminded, "Don't say anything you shouldn't say. No matter what the reporter asks, you must smile and face each other."

Seeing this idiot, Lovett was overwhelmed. If the other party was half as calm and smart as Duke, his workload would definitely be reduced by one third.

"I get it, Lovett! I will show my best side!"

After waved his hand casually, Rick Solomon got out of the car. Although he was a fool in Lovet's heart, he was not stupid after all. When he walked on the red carpet, he really attracted many reporters' camera lenses with his good appearance and bright smile.

Listening to the cheers and watching the flashing light, Rick Solomon was inevitably intoxicated, especially when waving his hands around, it always caused more screams, giving him the feeling of being a big star and even surpassing Sigourney Weaver who was walking in front.

With this slightly drunk feeling, Rick Solomon walked into the interview area and responded to the reporter skillfully according to the model taught by Lovett.

"Mr. Solomon..."

Another reporter put the microphone in front of his mouth, "I heard that you are classmates with Duke Rosenberg, the director of "Life and Death Hour". Have you played in the college football team? Do you know each other?"

"know."

The other party said that to this extent, he could only bite the bullet and say he knew him.

"After yesterday, the North American box office has accumulated $82.78 million."

Rick Solomon's joy suddenly disappeared when he heard the reporter's words, but even though his anger arose, he still had the brightest smile. The reporter seemed to really only think that the two were classmates and was still asking, "As an alumni, how do you evaluate Duke and "The Speed ​​of Life and Death"?"

"He is..."

Before the words were expressed, Rick Solomon saw Lovett winking at him not far away from the other side and quickly swallowed the words back. He was not a real fool. If he showed his disdain and dissatisfaction with Duke at this time, I am afraid that the reporters around him would be worthless the next day, and he would become the biggest joke in the media.

The other party is the director of a film that is moving towards a box office of 100 million US dollars. He is just an unimportant supporting role in "Alien 3". Who will the media be biased towards? Who will mock him?

“He is my friend at school…”

Even though it was as uncomfortable as eating ten thousand flies, Rick Solomon had to bite the bullet and in the most heartfelt and brilliant way, in the most sincere tone, in the most sincere tone, "He is a talented man, I realized this very early, I am happy for his success. "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" is a very outstanding work, and I always think so."

After answering, Rick Solomon quickly walked out of the interview area, afraid that the reporter would ask again how deep his relationship with Duke was and how good it was to "Life and Death"...

When he walked into the premiere theater, his face was so gloomy that it could almost drip into water. A fist was tightly clenched. "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" was so glorious that his "Alien 3" overturned it!

As for him being just one of the supporting roles in it, "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" has been released for four weeks, and "Alien 3" was released in the first week, which was subconsciously ignored by him.

"Hey, Townsend..."

Not far from Rick Solomon, Martin Bob took the initiative to find Townsend Rossman, "Congratulations, "Life and Death Speed" is a big hit, and Fox can get a considerable commission."

"Thanks!"

Although he just smiled reservedly, Townsend Rossman was extremely happy to hear the name "Speed ​​of Life and Death". The higher the box office of "Speed ​​of Life and Death", the more Fox will make a profit. Although the release commission is 15%, Fox can prioritize the intercepting of promotional expenses from the box office share. This 15% North American box office commission is almost profitable. Moreover, the higher the box office of the film, the resale price of video tapes and TV rights in the future will inevitably increase, and Fox can draw another 50% from it.

There are also overseas copyrights with priority refusal...

Townsend Rossman is confident that this project alone can bring about a gross profit of about 50 million US dollars to 20th Century Fox, which is also one of his next bargaining weight for CEO.

That little guy named Duke Rosenberg is indeed very lovely.

"The market potential of "Life and Death Hour" has been almost exhausted, right?"

Only after that did Martin Bob's true intentions were revealed, "Townsend, Fox should also turn to "Alien 3" in promotion and promotion, right?"

According to market rules, even if "Speed ​​of Life and Death" still has potential, there will not be too much, so Townsend Rossman nodded and said, "After this weekend, the resources invested in "Speed ​​of Life and Death" will be transferred to "Alien 3".

"I heard you've already told Lucas to restart the Star Wars series?"

Seeing that the other party had no intention of denying, Martin Bob lowered his voice slightly, "Our cooperation has always been pleasant, and CAA also thinks you are the most suitable CEO."

"Happy cooperation." Townsend Rossman didn't know what the other party meant, so he stretched out his hand and Martin Bob gently held it on it, "Happy cooperation!"

Times Square, one of the most famous landmarks in New York, is the preferred place for many crews or singers when holding announcements. The last stop of "Life and Death" promotion in North America was chosen here.

Like the previous promotion, the crew focused on Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman. The only difference is that when Duke walked on the red carpet in front of AMG Cinema, many movie fans enthusiastically asked him to sign his autograph.

"Are you the director of "The Speed ​​of Life and Death"?"

Despite the embarrassment of such questions, Duke answered politely, “Yes, thank you for your support for the movie.”

As a reporter from the New York Times, Robbie Padgett also participated in the promotional event. When most of his colleagues gathered around the male and female protagonists of the film, he flashed to the side. Almost all the materials for Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman were dug up, and the fresh faces were what the audience was happy to see.

He remembered that other media once mentioned that the director of the film was a young man...

Outside the interview area was the loud noise of movie fans, and in the interview area was the media's messy visits. Robbie Padgett's eyes keenly captured the inconspicuous young man standing in the corner of the interview area, and confirmed the pictures he had seen in his memory and strode over.

"May I ask, are you Mr. Duke Rosenberg?"

Seeing the other party nodding, he immediately handed over the microphone, "I am Robbie Padgett, a reporter for the entertainment edition of the New York Times. Can you ask you a few questions?"

"Can."

The young man's sunny smile seemed extremely friendly.

With his appearance, he seems to be more accused.

Although I thought so in my heart, Robbie didn't ask, "Mr. Rosenberg... Well, Duke, this is your first movie, and the excitement of the film is unquestionable. What made you shoot such a movie?"

"The pursuit of dreams, the love of movies."

A very routine answer, especially the calmness in the tone, does not belong to the pride and complacency of young people after success.

Taking this in my heart quietly, Robbie asked again, "Do you think the North American box office of "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" will exceed $100 million?"

"Definitely!"

"This weekend?"

"Maybe it's next weekend, time will prove!"

Very confident young man!

"I wonder if you've read the Chicago Sun's Roger Albert column, Duke?"

"I've been busy running for publicity recently and haven't seen it."

"Roger Albert in his column commented that "Life and Death" is the best action movie in recent years, and he even gave you ten."

After saying this, Robbie stared at the other party's handsome and tough face, hoping to see something different from calm, but he was disappointed.

"Thank you Mr. Albert for your praise, it's my honor."

Hearing these faint and humble words, Robbie always felt that Duke Rosenberg didn't seem to care much about the authoritative evaluation of Roger Albert in the film critics.

Don't blindly believe in authority.

He nodded secretly. It is now very rare for young people like Hollywood.

"Duke, the craze of "Life and Death" will eventually fade away." Robbie asked again, "Are you planning next? Take a break?"

"I don't need a break, I'm still young, I'm full of energy."

The sly sensation in those black eyes flashed and Robbie didn't notice it at all, just listened, "Actually, I've already conceived the second work, but you know, Robbie, in Hollywood, it's not easy to invest."

Robbie laughed, "Is it still an action movie?"

"Yes, a hot and exciting action movie!"

"Oh~" Robbie cooperated and showed his interest. "I think it would be too difficult to find investors if I had the success of "Life and Death Hour".

This is a young director in the peak period of creation!

At the end of the interview, Robbie Padgett added another sentence in his heart.

The New York Times, on the second day, published this visit to Duke in a conspicuous position on the second page of the entertainment edition. This was his first time to appear in a super media like the three major newspapers in the United States, but it did not cause much response. Even if he threw out the sloshing of his second work, he did not have the fantasy of Hollywood production companies rushing to make calls.
