Made in Hollywood

Chapter 186 The Queen

This is a typical Scandinavian woman, with beautiful long blond-brown hair, her head in high heels is almost as tall as Duke, her blue eyes are as bright as jewels, and her pointed chin sets off the strong lines of her face. The rose red dress with the shoulders propped up looks extremely fit.

If you don't look at her face, her figure is a bit like Charlize Theron, who is typical of that kind of height and shoulders.

Such women mature early, and Duke can't tell the exact age just by looking at it, it is estimated to be between sixteen and twenty-two years old.

Unlike those glamorous Hollywood actresses, she is not very beautiful, or her makeup is obviously not the glam route.

The earth-colored makeup highlights a stable and dignified temperament. The light nose shadow and orange blush make the facial features more three-dimensional. The coral-colored lip makeup and the tone of the entire makeup are highly unified, which is very compatible with the temperament of the whole person. , giving a stylish yet elegant feel.

It took about ten seconds for Duke to recall who the other party was. After all, he had just said hello.

"Should I call you Your Highness? Or Your Excellency the Duke?" Duke looked polite.

Victoria laughed softly, "Do Americans care about this?"

From Duke's point of view, the other party showed exactly eight teeth. Obviously after systematic training, he responded with a similar smile, "Not all Americans are vulgar rednecks."

"That's just the British view."

When she said this, Victoria looked at the crowd, a member of the British royal family with a duke title, her chin almost raised to her forehead, "You can call me Vicky or Alice."

"You can also call me Duke."

The crown prince from the Swedish royal family seems to be more civilian, and there are not so many cumbersome polite words. After chatting with Duke a few words about the movie he just watched, he added, "I'm very curious about the United States, and I've always wanted to go to the United States to go to college after finishing middle school in France."

"Vicky, I suggest you choose the NYU Film Institute or the USC Film School."

The other party misbehaved the so-called princess air. Duke will also make a few occasional jokes, "You have a lot of insight in the film, maybe you can do something different in this area."

This is purely to make a high school girl like Princess Victoria happy. Even a fool knows that the crown prince of Sweden cannot become a film director, but Duke's identity is different after all. Speaking out of the mouth, it is still very useful.

"It was a pleasure chatting with you."

No matter how stable and dignified the appearance is. It can't change the fact that she is a little girl, the smile on Princess Victoria's face is more natural and sincere, instead of the well-trained look just now, "I have also met several French film directors, and their words are always related to art. Relevant. If you don’t talk for a few words, it will make people lose interest.”

"It's my honor to chat with you." There was a little more joke in Duke's words, "Beautiful Highness."

It's not exactly a flower that's grown in a greenhouse, but it's really about insight. Especially in the film and entertainment circles, which are interesting topics for little girls, Princess Victoria is too far behind Duke. It is probably difficult to meet someone who can talk to her about this. Princess Victoria and Duke seem to be very speculative in chatting, and even the age is vaguely asked by Duke.

Perhaps compared to ordinary high school students, Princess Victoria is smart and sophisticated enough. But in front of Duke, she is just a girl under 18 with a little bit of intelligence and social experience.

The two walked towards the terrace with few people as they talked. Although Princess Victoria's attendants had been following closely behind, Duke ignored them at all, and kept talking about topics that were of great interest to Her Royal Highness.

"It's not easy to be an actor, especially a recognized acting school like Tom."

In the test just now, Duke had already learned that she liked Tom Hanks very much, so he did not hesitate to pull up the tiger skin of Big Tom.

Walking to the patio and standing in front of the railing, Duke looked at her and asked, "Remember there was a scene in the movie where Captain Miller cried silently?"

"Remember!" Princess Victoria nodded quickly, "Mr. Hanks' acting skills are really good!"

"In order to make this scene well," Duke put on a mysterious tone, got closer, and said in a low voice in the girl's ear, "Tom has put in a lot of effort, and I heard Colin say that Tom's eldest son , He said that during the Christmas holidays, Tom often sat alone and shed tears in order to practice this scene, and when it came time to shoot, the scene ended, and Tom's tears did not stop for five minutes!"

"God, he worked so hard."

Princess Victoria stepped back a little, and seemed to follow the etiquette and distanced herself from Duke, but after Duke finished speaking this secret, he immediately took the initiative to distance himself, as if he was just sharing the secret with a good friend.

"If there is a chance in the future." Princess Victoria seemed to have a little yearning, after all, looking at the circle from a distance, it always looked particularly bright and beautiful, "I really want to go to Hollywood to see it."

Duke answered at the right time, "I can introduce you to Hollywood."

In fact, he is very clear that this kind of words means that, after all, the status of the crown prince is not comparable to that of the Princess of Wales in the United Kingdom, and he will act more cautiously.

Of course, if the crown prince of Sweden can be involved with Hollywood, then the media in Europe and the United States should thank him.

"It was a pleasure to chat with you."

After the attendant at the back came to remind her, Princess Victoria took the initiative to extend her hand to Duke, "It's getting late, I have to go back to school in Paris, I have to leave."

"Paris?" Duke shook her hand gently, "The crew will go to Paris next week to promote, I don't know..."

Princess Victoria understood what Duke meant, leaned a little closer, whispered a series of numbers, and said, "I can take you on a tour of the Seine."

After the anniversary of the D-Day landing in Normandy, "Saving Private Ryan" entered the major European ticket markets across the board, from England to Ireland, from France to Germany, from Sweden to Italy, and the film almost occupied nearly 60% of the mainstream cinema screens. The massive publicity also set off a movie-watching boom in Europe.

Just like the propaganda in North America, veterans who participated in World War II are also the top priority of European propaganda. Many veterans from Britain and France sang praises for the film. After the crew arrived in London, Tom Hank The main cast and crew headed by Si also frequently appeared in public and attended various promotional activities to create momentum for the film's release in the European market.

Many tabloids from Fleet Street are deeply controlled and influenced by News Corp. In a short period of time, the focus of tracking and reporting is completely on the crew, and they keep poking out the gossip of the cast and crew, in order to attract this gossip. The degree can be called the attention of the world's first country.

As the film spent its first weekend in Europe, it also attracted the attention of many European directors.

"The media can't wait to sing the praises of Duke Rosenberg for making a landmark work in war movies."

Putting the coffee cup down heavily, Jean Pierre Généen expressed disdain, "No matter how touching the humanistic care of the film, no matter how realistic the war scenes are, it cannot hide the fact that this is a purely commercial film, Duke Rosen said. Berg is just one piece of a vulgar Hollywood assembly line, and Saving Private Ryan is just an extension of his destructiveness and business tactics!"

"Jean makes sense!"

In the cafe, several French directors gathered, and some of them echoed, "Duke Rosenberg and his Hollywood don't know what art is at all!"

"Please don't forget that Hollywood movies have occupied more than 90% of the market share in Europe!"

The big fat man sitting in the corner is Luc Besson, who was rejected by the European film circle. "I just got the latest data for "Saving Private Ryan". The third weekend in North America was 16.65 million US dollars, and the North American box office accumulated 1 $7.89 million in the UK, $6.87 million in France, $8.52 million in Germany, $4.21 million in Spain, $4.11 million in Australia... The overseas box office exceeded $60 million in the first week!"

There was a brief silence in the café, and Luc Besson, having seen these high-eyed companions, continued, "Duke Rosenberg is only 25 years old, and his films have swept the world. Can we bring some hints? Can't European films learn something from him? Are we going to cede the European market entirely to Hollywood?"

Luc Besson's words resonated with a few people, but more people shook their heads, obviously not agreeing with the big fat man's words.

"Learn Duke Rosenberg and Hollywood?"

Finally, Jean-Pierre Genet, the oldest in the field, broke the silence, with a strong disdain in his tone, "Let business and money stain the elegant art of film? Luc, you are staying in Hollywood. It's been a while..."

Listening to the other party's long talk about art, what should Luc Besson say lazily, the art in the eyes of these people is actually Tu Tuo Tuo! Is the so-called disdain for Hollywood movies really disdain?

For example, this guy who keeps looking down on Duke Rosenberg and Hollywood's Jean-Pierre Genet just accepted the invitation some time ago and is going to Hollywood to direct "Alien 4". Could it be that this is also for art? Could he make Alien into a literary film?

Or, he wants to let the alien and the heroine come together...

Thinking of this, Luc Besson slowly shook his head, stood up and walked out of the cafe without looking back. In his opinion, European films have such a group of directors who hold the right to speak, and will only continue to weaken in the future. Going down, even getting closer and closer to the line of death.

"Saving Private Ryan" spent its first weekend overseas, and Duke led the crew to Paris. (To be continued ~^~)
