Starting from the published "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", Joanna Rowling has been transforming slightly towards adulthood, which is not consistent with Chris Columbus's directorial style. Moreover, this famous family director also has a typical feature. The sequels produced are always far from the level of the first one. n∈n∈,

Duke suggested using Chris Columbus to use him to fire his first shot. As long as the film is successful, the other party will be the director of the first two films at most.

Because he was leaving the next day, Duke did not need to make the jet lag in London. That night, he met with Robin Grand and the head of the Warner Bros. British branch of the video with Robin Grand and the head of the Warner Bros. UK branch.

Since it is a magical world, it is impossible for the film to appear too many modern products, and we must respect Joanna Rowling's opinion. Currently, the only main sponsors are Coca-Cola and Burger King.

However, after more than two years of creation, the Harry Potter series has become the most popular children's work in Europe and the United States. Movie adaptation has always been the focus of attention. Coca-Cola has also offered a sky-high sponsorship, and obtained a five-year authorization in the beverage category for US$120 million, and will work with Harry Potter Studio to promote this series.

After meeting the advertising sponsor, Duke stayed on the set for another day, exchanged more opinions with Robin Grande, and then took a plane and returned to Los Angeles.

In recent years, the Duke Manor in the Malibu Beach Villa District has almost become a temporary hotel. Duke lived here for no more than a month. Instead, the villa at the foot of Victoria Mountain in Wellington has become his residence.

For a director who is in a shooting state, being busy and dizzy is basically the norm. After so many years in Hollywood, Duke has gradually gotten used to it.

In addition to the fact that my mother would come to Los Angeles to live, the Duke Manor has been preparing for the Matrix, and the person who lived for the longest time is the butler Emma.

Duke will not stay for a long time when he returned to Los Angeles. He originally planned to fly to Wellington after attending the premiere of "Mission Impossible 2", but the news brought by Nancy Josephson forced him to stay in North America for a few more days.

The reason is very simple. Nancy's important female client, Naomi Watts's new film will be released on the next weekend of "King Kong".

Duke has always been very satisfied with his agent and will help her under appropriate conditions.

After all, although this is a money society, human feelings also exist. If you want others to serve you, you must also show appropriate respect.

"Tell you good news," Nancy said, sitting on the sofa on Duke's side, "We have agreed with the copyright holder who agreed to sell the film adaptation rights of the Hobbit."

"Well..." Duke nodded, "Form a written agreement as soon as possible."

In fact, he also knew that the negotiations have been delayed until now, and competition from other companies is the main reason. Without Warner's support, the Duke Studio would probably be difficult to obtain copyright.

Although other companies may not be optimistic about this prologue, the quotation is just a call. It is not a big trouble.

"There are also Transformers," Nancy continued, "I have contacted Hasbro's president's office, and the other party wants me to come and have an interview."

Duke thought for a moment and said to the other side, "Tina, you keep staying in North America. Go to Rhode Island with Nancy and negotiate with Hasbro."

"I understand." Tina Fei wrote it on the work log.

Duke still needs to make the jet lag, Nancy Josephson didn't stay for long and quickly left the Duke's Manor.

After Nancy left, Duke walked towards the fitting room. Tina Fei followed up habitually. Duke turned his head and said, "You go and rest first."

The female assistant who was also flying around and having to deal with various chores was obviously not as good as Duke's, and her fatigue was almost written on her face.

Tina Fei was not polite, and whispered to Duke, turned around and walked towards her room on the second floor.

Entering the fitting room, Duke tried his previous dress, which seemed a little fat. He took off his dress jacket, stood in front of the dressing mirror and looked at himself. He was indeed much thinner than before.

Because of the influence of the prone to fat people who have seen it, Duke pays great attention to controlling his diet and hardly eats too greasy foods. In addition, he has been working continuously for high-intensity recently, so he doesn't have to deliberately lose weight.

If the muscles he trained before were still there, he might have turned into tall and thin bamboo poles.

Although the dress is a bit fat and it was stocked last year, the premiere of "Mission Impossible 2" is tomorrow. Duke is not a star who wants to show off all kinds of things, and he is too lazy to order it. He turned on the phone, called Emma, ​​asked her to organize her dress, and went to the master bedroom on the third floor to rest with peace of mind.

This way, without thinking about shooting today and planning the sleep planned tomorrow, is quite rare for Duke. He tries to make his brain blank, think about anything, do nothing, and slowly fall asleep.

Relaxed sleep may not relieve the pressure, but it is the best way to rest. Duke woke up and it was already the next morning. He stretched, put on his loose sportswear, ran two laps in the garden, and then walked into the gym.

"Good morning, Duke."

Tina Fei was lifting the dumbbells. When she saw him, she greeted him casually. Duke nodded to her, "So early, Tina."

"A good figure is not just about dieting." Tina Fei did not stop her movements, "and she also had to rely on appropriate exercise."

"You keep going."

After saying that, Duke walked to the bicycle and started a routine fitness exercise.

It was a rare and relaxing day. Duke had never considered work until he left. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, he changed into a black dress and got into a Bentley with Tina Fee in a short dress, and the driver drove them to the Hollywood area.

The premiere of "Mission Impossible 2" was placed at the Hollywood Chinese Theatre. The first part of the series was a great success. Tom Cruise's superstar appeal attracted a large number of media and movie fans.

Before the Bentley car entered the red carpet, Tina Fe got out of the car. She hardly showed up in front of the media, and she could avoid the media and enter the theater through the side door.

Duke came to walk the red carpet and only supported the films he invested in. He has always walked the red carpet very quickly, basically ignoring reporters and fans. After waving and smiling regularly, he walked into the interview area in front of the theater.

Facing the reporter's microphone, Duke said all the praises, "Tom is one of the hardest actors I have ever met. I have watched the shooting on site, including rock climbing and other action scenes. He was all in person. He was very charming. I believe "Mission Impossible 2" will be a successful summer production!"

When the reporter asked about his new work, Duke kept silent and talked about his new work at someone else's premiere. He was not that stupid.

After leaving the interview area, he met Tina Fey, who was waiting at the entrance of the Chinese Grand Theater. Under the guidance of a staff member, Duke walked into the VIP lounge next to him. As soon as he walked in, many people came over to say hello.

“Hi, Duke.”

"Long time no see, Pat."

After dealing with a few people, Duke saw Pat Kingsley, and then Ino Martin came over and shook hands with Duke.

"I heard that the Harry Potter series is being prepared?" Ino Martin said directly, "It should be necessary for children's actors? Do I need a few of them?"

"No, thank you." Duke smiled politely, "Joanna Rowling insisted on using a British actor, and Warner and I could only agree."

Ino Martin suddenly changed the topic, "Duke, are you interested in cooperating with AA?"

He is now the controller of AA and must consider the interests of the entire company. "Nancy and I got the Star Trek business from Paramount Pictures..."

"You know, Ino." Duke still refused, "I'm working on the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I don't have time for the next three years."

"We can wait." Ino Martin seemed to insist, "This movie didn't have time to cooperate, we can work on the next movie."

"Not packed, you can use anyone you want to use." He added.

Duke's words became more tactful, "Let's talk about it when I complete the Lord of the Rings trilogy."

Ino Martin is no longer the past. After saying a few words, he was about to leave. Before leaving, he said, "Duke, although Martin Bob left aa, I still want to stand on the same front as you."

"I think so too." Duke smiled at him.

Of course, you can't take this seriously. The biggest foundation for the two of them to cooperate is no longer there!

Ino Martin left, but Pat Kingsley had no intention of leaving. She chatted with Duke for a while before walking to the other side of the lounge when someone came to say hello.

Duke could detect that not only did the foundation of his cooperation with Ino Martin disappear, but the foundation of his cooperation with Pat Kingsley and Ino Martin also disappeared. The relationship between the two super agent giants is obviously no longer as harmonious as before.

These people can get together to cooperate because they have the common enemy of Martin Bob.

Shortly after Pat Kinsley left, she pulled a big nose actor over and introduced him to Duke. This guy named Jack Chen is now the most popular Chinese actor in Hollywood.

Jinsli seemed to be preparing to poach him, so she seemed very enthusiastic. However, Duke just shook hands and greeted him politely, and although Jinsli mentioned cooperation vaguely, Duke refused without hesitation. After all, the difference in the movie style between the two is too big.

Finally, Tom Cruise led the crew in, Duke greeted the Cruise and his wife, and walked into the theater with the others. (To be continued...)
