Chapter 723 Devil's Heart
Generally speaking, Duke rarely acts rudely in public. When he saw the actor named Fan, he originally planned to let the bodyguard let her come, but then he saw a few photographers from the east not far away, pointing their cameras at this side, as if waiting to capture the scene where he was talking to the other party at any time.∟,
The other party came to Cannes to ride the red carpet, and in Duke's impression of her, this is an iconic figure who rides the red carpets of various film festivals.
Although he didn't mind the media using him for hype, Duke definitely couldn't like it. Perhaps it was because of the habit of looking at the world with a bad eye that he had developed over the years. He said to Tina Fei, "Send her away."
Maybe he was thinking too much, but Duke didn't want to be the target of this topic actress for hype.
According to his conjecture, if the cameramen hired by her take photos of the other party talking to him and send them back to China, they are very likely to become "Some actresses are appreciated by Duke Rosenberg and will soon star in his new film", or even news such as "Duke Rosenberg pursues a certain actress".
This may evolve into facts based on the other party’s former behavior.
Tina Fei walked over and said a few excuses such as Duke didn't want to be disturbed, and sent the actress away.
"She seems a little reluctant." Tina Fei said after she came back.
Duke shook his head, "Don't worry about her."
After saying that, he continued to walk forward, not taking this matter to heart at all, nor did he need to take it seriously.
Along the Marina Road, Duke walked to the yacht marina area in Cannes. This was just a small shallow sea marina. The small yachts parked here were all small yachts. If you drive over, you can only park outside the sea.
Since he was here, Duke was also preparing to go to the dock area to check it out, but as soon as he walked up the long dock pier, a tall woman coming towards him slowed down. On the face that would not blush even if her breasts leaked on the red carpet, there was a little embarrassment and fear.
She stopped and stood on the side of the pier, feeling a little overwhelmed. She wanted to turn around, but was hesitant, trying to ignore Duke and walk over, but she couldn't do it at all.
Of course, Duke saw this and couldn't help but sigh at when he became a demon in the eyes of others?
"Hey, Sophie." He walked over, stopped four feet away from the opposite side, and stretched out his hand, "Don't you know me anymore?"
"Hi. Duke." Sophie Marceau said hello carefully, and then quickly held it in his hand, "I... I just didn't expect to see you here."
Not far ahead is a small yacht renovated bar. Sophie Marceau seems to have come from there. Duke looked at the empty yacht bar, pointed at it and said, "Go over there to sit?"
Sophie Marceau hesitated for a while, but nodded. "I can't stay for too long."
Perhaps the director's talent and reputation are circulating all over the world, and he praises his kindness for actively participating in charity and social welfare activities. But Sophie Marceau is very clear that under the other party's peaceful appearance, the fundamental hidden heart is a demonic heart!
Sitting at a table on the yacht, she just ordered a glass of soda and looked at Duke opposite her. It was the famous director who cut off her Hollywood path with one hand.
Sophie Marceau sipped the soda water in small sips, without saying a word. Although this place is France, she still feels insecure.
Although as she left Hollywood, the other party did not do anything more. She gradually forgot that memory and cut off the idea of going to Hollywood to develop. When she sat opposite him, she was still a little scared.
After all, the other party was holding something that could ruin her reputation.
Thinking of this, Sophie Marceau put down the soda and asked in a low voice, "Duke, some things have been gone for many years, and I don't think we have any involvement."
"I said..." Duke gently tapped the oak table, "As long as you are not in Hollywood, there will be no grudges between us, and you have been keeping your promises, which is great."
Sophie Marceau gritted his teeth and said, "Then can you return the videotape to me?"
"Video tape?" Duke was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Sophie, I am also a person who keeps my promises. After so many years, have you seen anything related to it circulated?"
To be honest, he had already forgotten about the video tape. If it weren't for Sophie Marceau's reminder, he didn't know when he would remember the ridiculous things he had done.
"Just...just..." Sophie Marceau was still worried.
After all, this kind of thing can only be guaranteed if you hold it in your own hands.
Duke has never been a paranoid person, otherwise he would not have fought back and helped him fight Mel Gibson, and he just asked her to leave Hollywood. But in the same way, he was not the kind of bad guy who could fly a plane in his chest, and he would not have been so stupid that he would believe in Sophie Marceau after missing something.
"You keep your promise..." Duke picked up his soda and raised it to Sophie Marceau, "I keep my promise too."
After taking a sip, Duke signaled Tina Fei to check out, stood up and prepared to leave.
Sophie Marceau hadn't given up yet, looked up at him and said, "What if I could help you get the Palme d'Or for this Cannes Film Festival?"
Duke lowered his head and stared at Sophie Marceau, "Thank you very much, but there is no need!"
Compared with its popularity among audiences, Sophie Marceau is not very popular in the European film industry, and his journey has become narrower and narrower in recent years.
After getting off the yacht, Duke waited for a while, and Tina Fei quickly followed.
The two walked along the long pier and walked towards the road. Duke asked as he walked, "Do you still remember the strap I handed you over ten years ago?"
"I put it away." Tina Fei frowned and recalled for a while before saying, "I took it to the underground vault of the manor that night, and then never moved it again. It should still be inside."
She asked again, "Do you need me to find it after I go back?"
Duke shook his head, "Put it inside."
Although he has no moral cleanliness, he does not want to do anything too bad if necessary.
Some people in the North American film industry have always wanted to bring Mel Gibson back to Hollywood. Maybe he can get Sophie Marceau back and then continue to stage a good show?
It may be a good idea to use the love of French men to deal with Australian savages.
Since he is temporarily staying in Cannes, Duke has also attended the screening ceremony of some Hollywood works. In this world, cultural products including movies do have commonalities, but regional differences are also objective reality.
To a certain extent, Hollywood filmmakers will naturally maintain the reputation and interests of this big circle unless they have problems with their brains.
Just like Martin Scorsese, who is left to the European media to praise him, still firmly calls himself a Hollywood director.
Duke is no exception, so after Quentin Tastino received an invitation from Quentin Tastino, he appeared at the Cannes premiere of "Inglorious Bastard".
The screening of "Inglorious Bastard" set many firsts during the film festival. When the first screening was performed in the media, when the iconic subtitles of "Qentin" in the opening film were played, people began to applaud; when the names of Quentin and Pete appeared, there was another warm applause. 15 minutes before the end of the film, some people began to leave one after another, but it was not because the movie was not good, but rushed to take a seat at the press conference.
This is a very interesting movie about how a group of gangsters kill another group of assholes.
For Quentin fans, Inglourious Bastard is a movie that makes them very happy.
The film inherits Quentin's usual cold humor, sudden killing scenes, and bloody scenes that Quentin likes very much, which can all be found in this movie.
Interestingly, all the stories in the movie were made by Quentin himself, and for this reason he also arranged a very special ending for Hitler that made him die under the machine gun of an angry Jew.
Except for Brad Pitt and the biggest villain, all other characters were arranged by Quentin to "death" characters.
In the film, the scene of the cinema fire is impressive. The Germans are locked in the theater like lambs to be slaughtered, enduring the double torture of the fire and machine gun fire, and are finally killed by bombs.
Such a scene is completely opposite to the massacre scenes in the previous World War II movies, and Quentin's humor can be seen here.
The reporters who insisted on watching the movie were blocked at the door of the news center and could not enter the venue. This time, the photojournalists all flocked to the side of the news center by the walkway. When Peter and Quentin walked by, the entire news center was in turmoil. This is also the most grand scene from the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, except for "The Road of Furious".
The European film industry is very opposed to Hollywood movies, but they have to face such a reality, whether it is the media or the audience, during the three major film festivals, they chase the most and the most crazy ones, or Hollywood movies.
Some reality in these worlds will not be transferred by personal will or the ideas of a small group. European movies are good at it, but they focus on the core idea, but they are inexplicable if they are bad at it.
As we all know, good stories are one of the foundations of movies, but how many good movies that are self-intoxicated in the European film industry can tell good stories?
Also, a good story can attract people to enter the cinema, and the profound core idea can never be achieved. The reason is that the audience does not like to think, but that if they want to think, there will be a much more suitable choice than the movie philosophy, history, psychology, society...
So, a very strange phenomenon occurred. European filmmakers considered themselves extremely high-end and disdained other types of films. However, the spread of their films was extremely narrow, and they drove the entire European film to decline and lost their previous position as the center of the world films early on.
Any movie has its own reasons. These people may dislike commercial films with a wider range of communication, greater influence, and more audiences, or they may hate them. But it is precisely because of them that the film industry has grown, become leaders in many cultural industries, survive and further expand and pass on.
