Made in Hollywood

Why don't you stay with the crew?

When walking through the red carpet and entering a relatively quiet place, Mrs. Leah looked at Duke who was catching up and asked, Didn't you plan the publicity?

It's enough to have Tom, he attracts the media more than I do.

Duke looked back, Tom Hanks had just stepped on the red carpet, the audience and media reporters can only describe it as crazy, when it comes to the attraction to the media and the public, the first-line directors can't catch up with the first-line actors on the train, What's more, Tom Hanks was still present with Rita Wilson.

It is not easy for Tom Hanks to appear on the Victoria's Secret annual catwalk. Although he is obliged to cooperate with the crew's publicity, this is a temporary increase in the itinerary. After several communications with his agent Eno Martin , which led to this trip.

However, Duke will not be very relaxed. After standing under the background card to take a photo with his mother, he was pulled into the interview area by the public relations staff of Warner Bros.

A reporter immediately came over and asked, Director Rosenberg, is your new movie Saving Private Ryan finished?

You can see it during the summer, Duke replied.

I heard that Victoria's Secret set up a professional angel model team from your suggestion? Another asked.

I just mentioned it casually. Duke did not forget to promote his own advertising company by the way, It was Santa Feia who turned my very immature ideas into reality.

As we all know, your movies are never short of beautiful women. Do angels have a chance to appear in your movies?

Of course, as long as there are the right roles.

The promotion of Saving Private Ryan has already started, and Duke will not refuse any questions from reporters as long as it can arouse topics and attention.

Congratulations, Director Rosenberg, Independence Day has surpassed $900 million at the global box office!

A reporter squeezed out of the crowd, with a sincere smile on his face, Duke gave him a slight nod, Thank you.

His next question was less polite, But your film has been criticized by countless industry professionals, and the professional rating has dropped to 2.92. What do you think?

There are such people in the world, when they can't eat grapes, they will tell everyone that grapes are sour, bitter, and the most unpalatable thing in the world.

Hearing Duke's metaphor, the surrounding reporters were stunned for a moment, and then blocked by a few big men in suits. Duke nodded to the organizer's security officer, turned and left the interview area and entered the venue.

After a rough search, Duke saw where his mother was and walked straight over.

Just like the promotion strategy of all films, the promotion of Saving Private Ryan will not focus on the director. Tom Hanks is the top priority of this mutual support event with Victoria's Secret. Leonardo DiCaprio and other actors, also led by Robin Grande, rushed to the venue and appeared in front of the media.

The only thing Duke felt a little bit regretful about was that Leonardo DiCaprio and his agent rejected the crew's suggestion to have a fake relationship with a Victoria's Secret model. Nuo Reeves is different. The journey has been relatively smooth, and he probably doesn't want to make a fuss about his private life.

Duke, come here.

The mother waved to this side, and after Duke walked over, she introduced several people around him one by one, This is Lori Greeley, the president of the Victoria's Secret store, and this is Rebecca Finn, the vice president. , this is Bill May, Director of Operations...

The introductions were all Victoria's Secret executives, and Duke greeted them politely.

Mrs. Leah stood aside with a proud smile on the corner of her mouth. Duke had indeed become her greatest pride as he said, and even did better than her most extravagant imagination!

Looking at the whole of Hollywood, the United States, and even the whole world, how many film directors can achieve Duke's achievements? Could any director have done so much at Duke's age?

Not to mention that the total box office of the past three films has exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars. In terms of Independence Day alone, the North American box office of a film has reached more than 360 million US dollars and the global box office has exceeded 900 million US dollars. What kind of brilliance is this? It would be too hypocritical to say that she is not proud of it.

As a businessman and a relatively successful businessman, Mrs. Leah is well aware that in this highly commercialized society, although business success cannot represent everything, it is the basis for earning respect and recognition, not to mention that Duke has entered an extremely realistic Hollywood. , that is a circle that speaks with commercial data.

After a few chats, the executives of Victoria's Secret went to the backstage. Duke sat with his mother in the front row near the runway. While socializing with the people who came to say hello, he was also observing the situation in the venue.

Unlike the star-studded catwalks in the future, the current Victoria's Secret's appeal is obviously insufficient. Although there are some familiar faces, there are not many really big stars, especially celebrities from Hollywood, except Tom Hanks. Other than the members of Saving Private Ryan, there are actually not many.

The few who can come are also related to Duke's invitations, such as Christopher Lee and Uma Thurman, as well as Nancy Josephson's contracted actors.

One of them is Rachel, Jennifer Aniston, who became popular last year with a sitcom.

Although this actress is walking the typical American silly eldest sister route, she is not a silly eldest sister in reality. She came over to greet Duke as soon as she came in, chatted with Mrs. Lia enthusiastically, and even shouted auntie...

Few people who can become famous are fools. Obviously, Jennifer Aniston understands the situation of actors who rely on TV series to become famous. If there is no suitable role transformation, their whole life will be limited to this, and the most ideal and most suitable transformation direction for TV actors is big screen.

Back to Los Angeles, have time to eat together?

When saying goodbye, she softly invited her, and Duke naturally had no reason to refuse, Okay, I'll wait for your call.

Jennifer Aniston gradually moved away, Duke saw his mother's turned eyes, straightened his face, and sat back in the chair, putting the previous matter behind him for a while.

The catwalk is not just a catwalk. As a promoter, Santa Feia has signed a broadcast contract with ABC and Sky TV, respectively, and will broadcast to North America and Europe through the two TV stations. As long as the effect can meet expectations, such a catwalk will become a reality in the next few years. normal.

After waiting too long, the catwalk opened. Although it was different from the videos he had seen before, in Duke's view, the models walking on the catwalk and the overall operation seemed to have some prototypes for the future.

Victoria's Secret's operating strategy is not to build itself into a high-end luxury brand, but the world's most famous and popular sexy underwear brand. Therefore, the models walking on the catwalk are not as glamorous and noble as when they are on the catwalk, but frequently blow kisses. , laugh, wink, wave and even make victory gestures to interact with the surrounding audience and camera footage.

The makeup artist also worked hard on the models' makeup. The long hair of the angels was naturally slightly curly, as if they had just woken up and had not been groomed or experienced a perfect sex. Love, their faces were naturally charming, with red and red faces. The misty eyes resembled lips that had just been kissed.

What surprised Duke the most was that Madonna Cicconi was invited to the show as a guest singer. The eldest sister of the pop music world was wearing sexy lingerie and walked onto the runway singing the classic number one single Beautiful Island. The first climax of the scene was set off when high-fives were celebrated with the models passing by.

Is this an invitation from Santa Fia? Duke asked his mother in a low voice, pointing to the Madonna on the stage.

Mrs. Leah nodded, The suggestion of a creative deputy director of Santa Feia, I think it is very good.

Although I know that the Victoria's Secret show has a tradition of inviting guests to perform, Duke remembers it very clearly. He didn't mention this. The reason is very simple. He forgot it at the time. As long as the key points are pointed out, some additional things will come naturally.

Duke will never underestimate the elites of this era. With more experience, all creativity can only come from him, or success is a matter of course. It is impossible. He has neither hard disk nor Google in his mind. It's one thing to remember everything, even the ones that do, it's another thing to remember the fact that it becomes a success.

Then, the catwalk set off another climax, which is also something Duke knew but forgot to mention!

Claudia Schiffer, one of the top five supermodels, took to the runway in a diamond-encrusted lingerie, which is said to be worth $2 million, against the backdrop of world-class supermodels and bright lights. , The flashes caught the eyes of many people, especially some men in the back row, who were already whistling excitedly.

Whose proposal is this? Duke asked his mother in a low voice again, and the corners of Mrs. Leah's mouth were slightly upturned, Mine, it looks good.

Expensive diamonds, beautiful angels and sexy lingerie can kill a lot of people together, and of course the effect is not much worse.

Duke admires his mother very much. Unlike a cheating guy like him, after his marriage failed, his mother succeeded more by her own efforts, except for the few interpersonal networks left by the Rosenberg family.

The first annual catwalk of Victoria's Secret is coming to an end. The sky-high underwear worn by Claudia Schiffer has become the focus of many people's competition. The attention level has even surpassed that of Madonna. The event has not ended yet. The rich from southern Europe took out $3 million to pocket underwear.

This catwalk is also a perfect curtain call, which can definitely be called a success. After the successful event, the organizers will naturally hold a thank-you dinner.
