"Hello, this is Karl Lagerfeld's office..."

Holding the microphone in one hand and brushing the notebook quickly with the pen in the other hand. Before Sophia put down the phone, another phone on the desk rang again. She had to say a few words of sorry to the microphone and quickly picked up the new phone, "Hello. This is... Mr. Lagerfeld is not here now. OK, Mr. Versace, I will definitely convey it in time."

For the whole afternoon, she kept answering the phone and spending the record. Another veteran assistant sitting opposite her had no intention of helping, but instead showed a few slightly sarcastic smiles from time to time.

After work and returning to her rented apartment, Sophia opened the door, picked up the newspaper on the ground, turned around and closed the door to death, making a "bang" sound. She seemed to want to use this method to vent the boredom and grievances accumulated in the day.

When she kicked off her high heels and sat on the sofa, she looked like a mollusk without support.

Although she finally got the position of internship assistant with the help of her family, and girls who wanted to get this position in Paris might be able to line up the Champs-Elysees, but she regretted it now.

After coming to Paris, Sofia found that the name of the Coppola family was not good at all. The European fashion circle did not buy the North American film circle at all. Despite her background, she was the lowest among Lagerfeld's assistants. The others almost joined forces to squeeze her, and did not give her the opportunity to stand out, allowing her to fully experience the cruelty of office politics and workplace competition.

Moreover, fashion is far from as simple as it seems. She has been dealing with movies for most of the past twenty years, and she has done a good job related to movies. In terms of fashion... when she answered the phone, she couldn't even figure out who the nicknames left by many celebrities in the fashion industry were.

Think about it when she was in Hollywood, even though she was an intern assistant to David Finch and Duke, who didn’t treat her politely from producer to extras?

Duke Rosenberg?

This name that entered his mind made Sophia bit her teeth. That guy cursed her at the beginning to be the telephone operator in Lagerfeld, now...

Suddenly, she found that she hadn't paid attention to Duke and his "Speed ​​of Life and Death" for a long time. The last time she was on the phone, several months ago, the other party told her that "Speed ​​of Life and Death" was about to be released on a large scale, and she also laughed at him for dreaming.

Thinking of this, Sophia took the cordless phone and dialed a number in Los Angeles.

"Hi Nikola, it's okay! I just want to ask about one thing, do you know "The Speed ​​of Life and Death"? Is it released in North America? What's the box office?"

"What!"

Hearing the numbers reported on the phone, Sophia was stunned. After about a few seconds, she said again, "Are you sure you are not wrong? It is sure it is $130 million? Well, I understand, thank you, Nikola..."

How is this... possible?

Even though he knew that his cousin would not joke about such things, Sophia still couldn't believe that Duke Rosenberg's "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" actually had a box office of over 100 million yuan in North America!

Duke is only one year older than her! Is it the first official movie? It was a great success?

That guy does have some tricks, especially shooting speed cars, collisions and explosions, and has unique experiences! But when he shoots literary dramas, he is simply a rookie. To be precise, he is a rookie director himself!

But he succeeded!

Subconsciously, Sofia called a landline in Los Angeles, and no one answered...

When working on the crew of "Life and Death", Sophia communicated with Duke the most. She knew that his biggest dream was to become a super director like George Lucas or Spielberg. He had obviously taken the key first step toward his dream?

What about my movie dream? What about my movie dream that was pierced by those critics with vicious insults?

It was not until this moment that Sophia realized that choosing the fashion industry was simply a mistake, and that Hollywood and the film industry were the places she should go.

"If you are fryed by Chanel, you can come back and continue to be my assistant!"

Thinking of what Duke said when he left Los Angeles, Sophia roughly understood where she started.

In Los Angeles in July, the climate is absolutely not pleasant, and the dry and hot weather is always irritating. Duke drove past the Forks Building, but did not mean to stop. Instead, he turned around the road to the left, and then drove for a few minutes and stopped in a parking lot next to a hotel.

Before getting off the car, Duke sorted out his dress in the rearview mirror, and then attended the celebration party held by 20th Century Fox for "The Speed ​​of Life and Death".

Although the sun had already fallen into the underground west and the journey from the parking lot to the hotel was not far, when Duke walked to the hotel, he was still sweating while dressed in formal wear and entered the lobby with plenty of air conditioning. The cool feeling made him breathe a sigh of relief.

“Hi, Duke…”

A middle-aged man in his thirties came up and shook hands intimately. Duke knew him and was the assistant of Townsend Rossman, the new CEO of 20th Century Fox.

After a few polite words, the other party led the way and led Duke to the banquet hall on the second floor, obviously waiting for him here.

"Mr. Rosenberg..."

"Director Rosenberg..."

Before entering the banquet hall, Duke met two members of the crew when filming. He had long forgotten his specific names. He probably remembered that they were two photography assistants. At that time, except for their work relationship, they didn't talk much to him.

Now, not only did he say hello intimately, but he also took the initiative to give way to one side of the corridor.

Only successful people have the capital to survive in Hollywood! Duke has always confirmed this.

The two waiters opened the red double doors, and the banquet hall that was still in the noisy before suddenly became quiet. When Duke walked in, he didn't know who was the first to slapped his palm, and then the applause came like a tide!

It is completely different from the promotional announcements and press conferences of the film, this is his unique moment! This is the moment when the director is the protagonist!

"Duke, among the directors of his age, no one can do better than you!"

Seeing Townsend Rossman, CEO of 20th Century Fox, come up enthusiastically, Duke held it in his reaching hand and said politely, "Thank you, Mr. Rossman..."

"Call me Townsend."

"Thank you, Townsend."

Although he understood that the other party's attitude was so good, it was entirely because he created great value for Fox, Duke still maintained elegant etiquette, "Thanks for the support of Twentieth Century Fox."

Then, under the introduction of Townsend Rossman, Duke shook hands with several other senior executives who attended Fox one by one. All of these people smiled, especially one of them, which surprised Duke.

"Young man, I have to say that you created a miracle."

The person who held Duke's hand and spoke was Tim Fisher, who once rejected "Life and Death Hour", who was facing Duke, was smiling all over his face, "I've read your latest script, and I think we can continue to cooperate."

"I think so too." Duke smiled.

The waiter in black shuttled through the crowd, constantly delivering champagne into the guests. After Duke finished greeting the senior executives of Fox, Townsend Rossman slapped his palms twice, took the champagne from his assistant, and held it high towards Duke.

"I suggest toast to the success of "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" to director Duke Rosenberg!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

In the banquet hall that was thousands of square feet, countless echoed voices sounded, and everyone raised their glasses for Duke!

This feeling of becoming the absolute protagonist will be intoxicated and excited by it. Even if it is as calm as Duke, he has been under too much pressure in the past year. The insomnia he had in the dream at midnight once tortured him hard, but today's success proves that the mental pain he suffered has not been in vain.

He has taken the first step toward his dream directorial journey!

Cheers for my dreams and for my two lives of hard work!

After silently reciting this sentence in my heart, Duke raised his head slightly and killed the champagne in his glass!

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was warm, and Fox's senior executives came over one after another, and after clinking glasses with him, they said something very comfortable. It seemed that Duke had become a top-line leader, but while Duke was excited and proud, he also kept a calm mind. He knew why he was valued by Fox's bigwigs.

Because he created huge profits for them, he may continue to generate profits in the future.

"Duke, how does it feel to become famous?"

A familiar voice came from beside him. Duke turned his head and Robin Grande stood a few feet away. He quickly walked forward and touched his glass hard, "I have never had the chance to say thank you to you."

“I just use the money to do things.”

Hearing this, Duke laughed, and Robin Grande laughed too, and then he said, "Walking the road ahead, Hollywood cannot tolerate two consecutive failures."

Nodding solemnly, Duke drank the wine with him.

Starting from Robin Grand, members of the crew came to say hello one after another. The attitudes of these people were no longer as professional as they did during the filming, and their faces were full of passionate smiles.

“We had some arguments during the shooting…”

Even the deputy director Cone came over and took the initiative to toast a glass of wine, "But that falls into the scope of work."

Duke still kept a faint smile on the cup he handed to him, "It's all for work."

Both sides are not of the same level now, and Duke is too lazy to care about anything. Anyway, he will not cooperate with this deputy director in the future.

Corne just walked away when Uma Thurman pulled Keanu Reeves over, "Hi, Duke."

Uma Thurman seemed extremely enthusiastic. Keanu Reeves, who was in the most bastard stage, still had that expression of immortality. Duke didn't care. Like Corne, he would not cooperate with Keanu Reeves in the future, and the other party's image and acting skills did not meet his future requirements.
