v2 Chapter 548： Ellison

"Why are you pulling me to join such a premiere?"

In the VIP lounge, after entertaining a few people who came to say hello, Irene Lauder turned to look at Duke next to him, "Have you noticed that many people are looking at us with hostile eyes."

Duke didn’t care about those strange eyes, and ignored the second half of his friend’s words, “When you talked on the phone yesterday, didn’t you say that you were a bit boring lately, so I want to bring you over to watch a very interesting movie. ."

"Interesting?" Irene Lauder rolled her eyes calmly, "Can it be more exciting than your movie?"

Before Duke could answer, someone came over again. It was a middle-aged brown-haired man with a few crossbones hanging on his face. His eyebrows were raised high, almost reaching the top of his forehead, making the whole person look very shabby. Even people who don't know him can guess that he must have an arrogant character.

This man is very famous. Although his wealth is not as good as Bill Gates, his reputation is definitely not bad.

Looking at the United States, there are really not many people who don’t know Larry Ellison as a madman.

"Hello, Duke."

The two had met on other occasions before. After Larry Ellison came over, he greeted him briefly, ≧, and then turned to look at Irene Lauder, "This is your new girlfriend ?"

Irene Lauder frowned slightly when it was not too polite, but she was well-bred, and her brows were only slightly frowned.

The character of the person opposite was widely circulated throughout the United States. Before he could continue speaking, Duke spoke, "This is Miss Irene Lauder, from the Lauder family. She is my good friend."

"Oh……"

Larry Ellison offered his hand. Maybe it's all because of Jewish descent, I changed my tone a little bit better, "Hello, Miss Lauder, turn around and take it to Mrs. Estee Lauder for me."

"Thank you." Irene said lightly.

She obviously didn't like Larry Ellison's character.

But Larry Ellison didn't come here for Irene. Obviously it was directed at Duke.

"I heard that you rejected David's investment proposal several times in a row?" The madman spoke very directly, "Why?"

A faint smile hung over Duke's mouth. He didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked in the same tone, "Larry, if someone suddenly jumps out and wants to invest a lot of money in your company, would you agree? "

"Why should I agree?" Larry Ellison raised his eyebrows higher. "Do you think I am someone who lacks money?"

"Then do you think I am someone short of money?" Duke repeated his words.

Heard this sentence. Larry Ellison's raised eyebrows suddenly fell, the arrogant expression on his face slightly reduced, and the look in Duke's eyes became serious.

Although he is arrogant and arrogant, Larry Ellison is definitely not a fool to become the third-richest super-rich in the United States and start from scratch.

He immediately remembered that there was more than just a Hollywood director standing opposite!

That is like him, one of the top rich people in North America!

A director with a net worth of nearly 10 billion. How is it possible that there is a lack of funding for filming, not to mention that the other party is a director who has a close relationship with a company like Warner Bros.

Larry Ellison knows very well. It is useless to say some things in front of people at this level. After thinking about it, he looked at Duke and suddenly laughed.

"I've seen David's movie. It is very exciting." His eyebrows were raised again. "He will beat you."

Duke was never someone who couldn't fight back. Also laughed, "Larry, is this your opinion?"

"Of course!" Larry Ellison snorted.

"I'm just a film director, and a layman for prophecy." Duke took Irene's hand and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he said, "Just like what you are good at is software design."

After speaking, he and Irene Lauder walked towards the passage of the cinema.

Larry Ellison was taken aback for a while, looking at the backs of the two people, he suddenly understood what Duke was saying, and couldn’t help but snorted again, “I actually said I’m a layman for movies. After the scale is released, you will be able to see the outcome!"

He believed in the ability of David Ellison, not to mention the support of Michael Ovitz and Walt Disney behind him!

Walking into the movie hall, Duke and Irene found their seats, and they just sat down when someone leaned over to say hello.

"Hi, Duke."

"Hi, Ralph."

Duke shook the hand that Ralph Fiennes stretched over.

The other party greeted Irene Lauder very politely, and then turned to look at Duke, "I didn't expect to see you here."

I know this very individual actor because of Liam Neeson, who is a good friend of Neeson. When filming "Hurricane Rescue" and "Batman: Hour of War", he visited the crew many times.

"I'm here by invitation." Duke replied casually and asked again, "Why are you here too?"

"My brother Joseph also played a role in it."

After speaking, he took the initiative to change the subject, "Is "Batman: Hour of War" at the North American box office exceeding 100 million?"

"It should be over 100 million." Duke replied.

As of Wednesday yesterday, the North American box office of "Batman: Hour of War" reached more than $94 million. It is almost inevitable that the North American box office will exceed 100 million on Thursday.

As the crew of "Air Combat Heroes" entered the theater, Duke and Ralph Fiennes stopped talking and turned to look at the crew.

In Duke’s eyes, this crew is full of acquaintances. The starring role is James Franco, and the supporting roles are Joseph Fiennes and Jean Reynolds. Compared with the general war movies, the lineup is not bad. Moreover, with an investment of over 100 million U.S. dollars, the special effects are good enough.

In Hollywood, special effects can best reflect the degree of investment of the producer. Great special effects require US dollars.

From the big screen, the difference between special effects that cost 10 million US dollars and that that cost 30 million US dollars is clear.

"It's going to start."

In the front row of the theater, watching the big screen gradually lit up, David Ellison’s face is full of uncontrollable excitement. This is the starting point of his career in Hollywood, and the investment and starring in his life. The first film will also be the beginning of his glory!

Although he didn't see Duke Rosenberg in the VIP lounge, David Ellison looked back. He knew that the other party had come to attend the premiere and must be sitting somewhere in the back.

That's good, let him witness with his own eyes how he succeeded.

If you can't defeat him in front of your opponent, then the pleasure of success will inevitably decrease a lot.

Looking back, David Ellison's gaze is on the big screen, the key moment in his life has already been opened.

The big screen lights up, Duke ends the whispering with Irene Lauder, and his eyes are cast forward, focusing on this movie that reflects the aerial battlefield of World War I.

To be precise, he had never watched this film before, only that it was a famous bad film, and a bad film could make him remember because the film came from David Ellison investment.

Anyone who knows Hollywood knows that the appearance of the Ellison brothers and sisters has brought a new change to Hollywood, a change that traditional giants do not want to see.

The vested interests in Hollywood do not want to see this change, and Duke is undoubtedly one of them.

To a certain extent, he does not like the character of Ellison and his son, just like how he would not like Donald Trump, but the rejection of David Ellison at the beginning was more of a conflict of interests. .

As a member of vested interests, Duke certainly does not want to see new forces jump in and share their cake.

However, whether "Heroes of Air Combat" was successful, he said nothing. David Ellison is full of confidence and it is useless. It is the ordinary audience sitting behind them that can really decide the life and death of this film.

Thanks to the powerful propaganda platform of Warner Disney, "Air Combat Heroes" has attracted enough attention, at least the premiere seats are all filled, and many people are also looking forward to this will be a wonderful air combat movie. .

You know, after "Rising Aspirations", there has not been a film of the air combat type that can be recognized by the audience.

Billy Emerson is a person who likes air combat movies very much. From the moment he noticed the movie "Air Combat Heroes", he was full of expectations and brought two friends over to participate in the premiere together.

"Why don't we go and watch "Batman: Hour of War" again?" One of them was a little dissatisfied, "but to see these antique airplanes?"

"Have you not read the preview reviews on the Internet?"

Due to age and experience restrictions, Billy Emerson, who is under 20 years old, obviously does not know that there is something called the Water Army. "Many people are praising this movie, thinking that it will be a cross-age air combat movie."

"Is that right?"

The other companion is still a little skeptical, but since he has come here, there is no reason to leave, and he can’t help but sit in a stable position, “If the movie is wonderful enough, I will launch it like I watched "Batman: Hour of War" last week Everyone around is watching this film."

Is this movie exciting?

Perhaps the hype on the Internet and other media, perhaps the older and older Michael Ovitz thinks the film will be successful, but within thirty minutes of the screening, Billy Emerson has already looked boringly at the surroundings. People have almost the same expressions as him, which is very impatient and enduring something.

Seeing that old-fashioned biplane, the actor's western cowboy style, is already incomprehensibly full of mentally handicapped science fiction plots, Billy Emerson really wants to scold this film for what kind of **** stuff. (To be continued...)
