Made in Hollywood

Not just an exclusive interview, after the conversation between the reporter named Gao Fangfang and Duke, he also went to visit Lucasfilm. The national TV station on the other side of the Pacific Ocean also broadcast related special programs. The publicity reports in pictures and videos have aroused considerable attention from Chinese audiences.

In addition to the report submitted by Warner Greater China, Duke will also enter the Greater China Regional Network to see the reactions of movie fans and netizens on the other side when he is busy with the post-production work of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

In the living room of the Duke's manor, Duke, who had changed into a formal dress, sat in front of the computer, flipping through the comments on the interview report on the other side of the network, while waiting for Scarlett Johansson, who was putting on makeup and wearing a dress in the dressing room.

Despite going to George Lucas's wedding at the Skywalker Manor in Los Angeles, Duke made the most of the wait, as women's make-up and dress changes are measured by the hour.

Looking at the replies from the fans on the other side, Duke can also grasp the dynamics of the first-tier market.

If you don't know Skywalker in your life, it's useless to call yourself a hero.

Obviously, this is a standard Star Wars fan, probably because of Duke, the comments here are generally good.

As a post-80s kid who was shocked when I was young, I must watch it; as an uphold: movies are an important part of life. For this belief, watching Star Wars is also a compulsory course; is it good or not? Du When did Ke Rosenberg ever disappoint you!

Duke will not underestimate itself, knowing that he has a strong appeal on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

The domestic box office should not be bad, because there are many loyal fans of the post-70s and post-80s, as well as many follow-up fans of the post-90s and post-00s. It is recommended that those who have not watched or haven't watched the whole movie should make up for it before watching it. Watch the prequel 3 first. Then read the old three! This way you won’t be confused when watching Star Wars VII!”

Not only Star Wars fans, passers-by audience are also paying attention.

I'm not a fan of Star Wars. I watched the old version of the trilogy a few years ago, and I feel that the filming is still good. Of course, the characters are a bit outdated, and the pace is a bit slow. The plot is a bit old-fashioned, but I can't fault it. , the story is very solid, and the special effects are much better than 50 cents. There is nothing—that was the era when few people had seen computers. R2-D2 was so cute. This Star Wars is escorted by Duke. It doesn't feel like a waste of time.

There are also people who are not entangled in the previous work. Star Wars not only represents a few movies, but now the word has become a cultural symbol, everyone knows Star Wars, wears a Star Wars T-shirt, whether you have seen the original film or not. It doesn't matter if you like this The world of Star Wars. So why worry about whether you can understand every detail, just enjoy watching a Star Wars.

Similarly, there are people who don't know anything about this series, I'm weak to ask. Is Star Trek related to Star Wars?

At this time, Duke heard the familiar sound of high heels falling on the floor, turned off the computer and looked back. The well-dressed Scarlett Johansson has come over with a handbag.

Seeing Duke standing up from the computer, Scarlett couldn't help asking curiously, What are you doing?

It's nothing. He held Scarlett's hand and walked out of the villa. It's almost time, we have to hurry up.

It was George Lucas's wedding, and Duke's mother rushed over there early in the morning to help, so with the relationship between the two families, they couldn't arrive too late.

After Duke and Scarlet got into the car, the Rolls Royce waiting in front of the villa started to accelerate, and slowly drove away from the Duke's estate.

More than half an hour later, the car drove directly into the Skywalker Manor that George Lucas bought specially for his wedding. After getting out of the car, Duke and Scarlett walked to the lawn of the villa arm in arm, and saw George Lucas. Lucas.

After saying hello to the nearby mother, Duke walked over to give George Lucas a gentle hug, Congratulations, Uncle Lucas.

Thank you. George Lucas patted Duke's arm lightly, and after Scarlett said hello, he said, You two are whatever you want, I won't specifically greet you.

Duke nodded, and he walked over to his mother with Scarlett Johansson.

The wedding kicked off quickly, but it was quite brief. Sitting on a lawn bench, Duke could find that Scarlett Johansson next to him was always staring at Maddie Hobson in a wedding dress, arm in arm The hand on his arm also tightened subconsciously.

I can roughly guess Scarlett's thoughts, and Duke also thinks that maybe it's time to prepare a ring.

No matter what, the relationship between the two of them is extremely stable, and they have no intention of changing this relationship, and it is natural to go further.

And Duke also glanced at Mrs. Leah on the other side. His mother didn't like Hollywood stars, but his goddaughter was definitely an exception. She also hoped that she and Scarlett could get together in the end.

The chaotic life of his youth was far away from Duke, and he was not prepared to return to that state of life.

However, now is not the time, he has to be busy with various tasks of Star Wars, Scarlett is preparing for Avengers 2, and he always has to wait for them to finish their work.

Thinking of this, Duke's gaze, like Scarlett's, fell on Maddie Hobson.

Frankly speaking, he, like quite a few of the people present, never thought that George Lucas and Maddie Hobson, the black and white lovers, would finally enter the palace of marriage.

Of course, no one thinks that Maddie Hobson is not good enough for George Lucas, after all, she is also a recognized elite.

In addition to serving as the chairman of DreamWorks Animation Department, Maddie Hobson is also a well-known Chicago investment company Ariel. President of Investments, Inc. and chairman of the Ariel Mutual Foundation, and sponsor of ABC's Good Morning America.

She also created her own investment and financial management program. Not only does her career span various fields, but she is also particularly passionate about the film and television industry. Before dating Lucas Lucas, Maddie Hobson was never married. It was also the first time she entered the marriage hall.

The wedding went smoothly without any unimaginable bloody plots, and George Lucas and Maddie Hobson also received the blessings of Lucas's sons and daughters.

After the wedding, it is naturally a typical western celebration party.

Since Scarlett Johansson was taken by her mother, Mrs. Leah, to meet some friends and broaden her network of contacts, Duke can only act alone. In addition to George Lucas' relatives and friends, there are some Maddie Hobb Sen's relatives and friends.

Such as DreamWorks Animation Studio's Jeff Katzenberg.

After facilitating the cooperation between Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox and DreamWorks Animation Studio in Kung Fu Panda, Duke once wanted to acquire part of the shares of DreamWorks Animation Studio. After all, the market value of the entire DreamWorks Animation is only more than one billion US dollars. , not a particularly big deal.

Although he has always wanted to be a part of a large conglomerate, Jeff Katzenberg did not want to sell his shares to Duke. He knew Duke's character very well and knew that once Duke joined DreamWorks Animation In the affairs, his right to speak in it will inevitably be affected, and it is not impossible for DreamWorks Animation Studio to change its surname to Rosenberg in the future.

Marvel Comics is a lesson from the past.

Duke didn't care much about Jeff Katzenberg's refusal to take over. It was impossible for any good things to happen to him, and it was even less likely that others would sell him whatever he wanted.

With a polite hello to Jeff Katzenberg, Duke joined George Lucas' circle of relatives and friends, the center of which was undoubtedly Steven Spielberg and Francis Katzenberg. Coppola.

These veterans in the film circle were obviously discussing something, Duke found Sofia Coppola from the circle of people, and asked in a low voice, Honey, what are they discussing?

Sofia Coppola turned her head to look at Duke, and said in a low voice, Steven is talking to someone about the future of Hollywood blockbusters.

Hearing what she said, Duke became interested, stepped forward, stood beside Sofia Coppola, and pricked up his ears.

Hollywood bets every year on big-budget blockbusters of popular interest, and is losing audiences who watch movies over the internet and on TV.

The speaker was Steven Spielberg, who, as a studio owner, has deep research on the entire industry, This bet in Hollywood will explode sooner or later, causing the entire The industry has been devastated.

Hollywood is throwing money at blockbusters, Francis Coppola apparently agreed with Spielberg, but that model won't work forever, and the result will be a narrower and narrower focus. .People are going to dismiss them, and they're going to be at a loss as to what to do.

There was a lot of discussion around, and there were many well-known directors such as Duncan Jones and Ron Howard among them.

Spielberg spoke again, and the surroundings fell silent, his words were not high-pitched, but clearly audible, The reason why this happens now is that many forms of entertainment are competing with movies for the audience's attention, and movies A studio would rather spend $250 million to make a movie than do some little personal project.

He sighs, Eventually there's going to be a mass meltdown in the film industry. There's going to be an 'implosion' in the industry, where three, four, maybe five or six big-budget movies will bang. fall.

I also agree with what Steven said.

Today's groom, George Lucas, did not know when he came here, and he obviously heard Spielberg's point of view, I think the movie theater industry will evolve, and it will become similar to Broadway in the near future.

After Lucas's words fell, Sofia Coppola couldn't help but turned around and asked Duke, What do you think? (To be continued~^~)
