Made in Hollywood

Walking with Ivanka in the banquet hall, under her introduction, greeted the wealthy children in New York, and then briefly talked about it. This is almost one of the things that Duke did most at the party. Although there are many jealous people among them, no one does anything untimely in such public situations.

Maybe many of them are really **** in private, but they also know that **** are divided into time and place.

After a round in the banquet hall, Ivanka took Duke back to Donald Trump's side.

"Duke, let me introduce you."

Seeing Duke back, Donald Trump immediately introduced him to the three people opposite, "This is Richard Hilton from the Hilton Group. These two beautiful ladies are Richard's daughter Paris With Nikki..."

Duke greeted the three father and daughter quite politely.

"Can I call you Duke? Thank you..."

When shook hands with Paris Hilton, Duke felt the other party’s pinky slip off his wrist intentionally or unintentionally. She and Ivanka were obviously familiar with each other and took her hand and said in surprise, " So you and Duke are really officially dating? Honey, congratulations..."

Let go of Ivanka, Paris Hilton is watching everyone】◇, from a less than angle, she winked at Duke. Duke had no interest in her and pretended not to see her at all.

And compared to him, Donald Trump and Richard Hilton, the two daughters of the Hilton family are not qualified to participate in the topic at all.

To some extent, Ivanka Trump is not qualified enough.

However, Ivanka is very smart, just standing next to Duke, hardly speaking without involving herself.

"Congratulations. Duke."

The speaker was Richard Hilton, and he raised a toast to Duke. "If I remember correctly, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" received another $59.6 million in just ten days. Time. The North American box office exceeded 200 million US dollars."

Duke took a sip from his glass and said politely, "It's just luck."

"Good luck?" Richard Hilton shook his head, "Can't you be so lucky in the past ten years? Although you are a layman, I can also see that the top two movies in the box office this year It must be "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."

He sighed, "The profit your movie can bring is so terrifying, sometimes I can't help but want to invest in Hollywood."

The other party's words were obviously probing. Duke said euphemistically, "There must be many companies in Hollywood that want to get investment from the Hilton Group."

After the sale of "The Fellowship Expedition", Duke wanted to invest more in "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King". The news spread widely, attracting many people who want to invest. Everyone wanted to come in and get a share of the pie, but Duke rejected them all.

Neither he nor Warner Bros. lacks funding.

Not to mention Richard Hilton, Duke even blocked many investments from Wall Street.

Richard Hilton doesn't seem to give up yet. Then he asked, "Duke. Can you know the sales of "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"?"

"its not bad, right."

The other party was obviously asking about the specific sales data. Duke only gave a vague answer, but he did not expect that Donald Trump on the other side said at this time, "I know something, "Harry Potter and "Sorcerer's Stone" sold around US$135 million in North America last week."

Duke frowned. This is the data he talked about to Donald Trump during a small chat this afternoon. Although this is not something that needs to be kept secret, when he obviously doesn't want to say it, the other party directly tells it...

"Oh?" Richard Hilton raised an eyebrow. "What an amazing number."

Although the movie surroundings have to be shared by various marketers, the profit margin is much higher than the box office.

He looked at Donald Trump, "I remember you played a role in "The Fellowship of the Ring", don't you want to continue working with Duke?"

"Of course we will cooperate." Donald Trump said carelessly, "I and Duke are the best partners."

Duke nodded slightly in agreement, "Donald is a great actor."

"Actually, I have a better idea for the cooperation between us." Donald Trump seems to have planned. "I have been planning a book recently to make the Angel Elf super show happen before and after. Things, what I saw and heard in the cast of the Lord of the Rings... Duke, and some of your interesting things, all included, this book will definitely be on the bestseller list."

Hearing these words, Duke turned his head to look at Donald Trump, making sure it was not a joke.

"What do you think of this idea, Duke?" Donald Trump asked enthusiastically.

His voice was a little loud, and it attracted the attention of several people around him, not only Richard Hilton and his daughter, but also several people standing around.

The neck was slightly tilted to the left, Duke was about to speak, and Ivanka Trump next to him seemed to notice the change in his mood, and quickly took a step forward and pulled Donald Trump by the arm.

"Dad, you drank a little too much!" she said softly.

Donald Trump was not stupid, and immediately changed the subject and talked with Richard Hilton about the stock market.

Ivanka went back to Duke and saw that the eyes of the people around him were still on them, and found a reason casually, "My shoes are a little uncomfortable. Will you accompany me upstairs to change shoes?"

"Okay." Of course Duke understood what Ivanka meant.

Out of the banquet hall, to a quiet place with no one, Ivankara lived in Duke.

"I'm sorry, Duke." She was a little apologetic on her face. "Daddy always talks like this, sometimes he doesn't consider other people's feelings."

With a soft breath, Duke looked through the glass window and looked at the falling snow outside, then turned his head back and smiled understandingly at Ivanka, "It's okay, these are small things."

"Go upstairs and visit my room, okay?" Ivanka invited.

"Okay."

Duke nodded in response, temporarily letting go of his opinion about Donald Trump.

Ivanka is one of the hosts of the party, it is impossible to leave for too long, Duke only accompanied her to the cloakroom to change a pair of high heels, and soon returned to the banquet hall.

"I will accompany my father to entertain the guests."

Ivanka was very clever and left Duke alone to avoid meeting Donald Trump directly, "I saw Irene and the others when I came in just now. Go and say hello to them."

"I saw them too."

Not listening to Donald Trump's rants is undoubtedly the ideal way to avoid the contradictions. Duke turned his eyes slightly, found the location of Irene Lauder, and strode over.

Slightly relieved, Ivanka returned to Donald Trump, and when no one came to say hello, I specifically said, "Dad, I don't think you are a good idea to publish a book."

Donald Trump turned to look at Ivanka, seemingly unable to understand her statement.

"Hollywood has unwritten rules." After all, Ivanka has been in the cast of the Lord of the Rings for a long time, and has some understanding of the circle. "No matter how sharp the contradictions in the cast, how much attention can be drawn to what happens, it will not be casual. Leak out."

"You have an unusual relationship with Duke." Donald Trump obviously doesn't want to change his mind. "I don't think he will mind, he himself often stands up and takes the initiative to speculate."

Don't mind?

Ivanka had the urge to cover his forehead and said, "Did you not notice? Almost all the content Duke used to hype was related to movies. He hated other people using his private life to hype."

Ivanka knew exactly who her father was. She could imagine that if the book were to be published, some gossip between her and Duke would be indispensable.

Seeing Ivanka's expression, Donald Trump thought for a while and said, "Evie, I will consider this matter carefully."

Hearing what his father said, Ivanka was relieved for a while, scanned the banquet hall, and easily found Duke, who was sitting in the resting place with Irene Lauder and chatting.

She knew that Irene Lauder was one of the women with the closest connection to Duke, but she didn't worry too much. The two had known each other for almost ten years. If something happened, it might have happened long ago.

Ivanka knew very well that Duke’s past private life was indeed a bit messy, but he was not the kind of person who had no bottom line.

"I didn't expect you to have an official girlfriend so soon."

Holding a glass of clear water, Irene Lauder drank and teased Duke, "I think you won't think of changing until after forty at the earliest."

Duke glared at her, "I can't die alone, am I?"

"Ivanka is a good choice." Irene Lauder looked at the location of the owner, just in time to see Ivanka's gaze, nodded to her lightly, and said, "She and the New York Rich Circle The Hilton sisters and others who only know how to play are different and very motivated."

Having said that, Irene Lauder pointed to herself and laughed, "I know you most appreciate a woman who is willing to make progress and knows how to work hard."

"Can I understand that you are complimenting yourself?" Duke joked back.

Irene Lauder smiled brighter, "Isn't it?"

Duke took the initiative to change the subject, "How is your makeup brand?"

"With the Estée Lauder Group as the backer, a lot of work is easier to do."

Speaking of her own business, Irene is full of confidence, "My goal is to exceed one billion US dollars in brand sales by 2005."

She sighed, "It can't be compared with you. A film can sell billions of dollars in box office around the world in a few months." (To be continued...)
