His chest was as heavy as a stone, and it seemed that he was breathing a little sleepy. Duke, who was lying on his side, slowly opened his eyes. His head after a hangover seemed to burst, and he couldn't help struggling a few times. From Charlize Theron He drew a hand out of the entanglement and gently rubbed his forehead. Since the rave party after graduating from high school, he has never indulged himself so much.

Charlize Theron, who was lying on his chest, was still asleep, and the scattered blond hair and flushed face were witnesses to the craziness last night.

But Duke felt something was wrong, there was still a person close behind his back, that soft touch clearly showed that he was a woman...

He turned his head, his long blond hair was scattered like a bird's nest, as if he had just been ravaged by brutal and inhumanity; there were still rows of teeth marks on the smooth skin of his chest. From the shape, it should be his own masterpiece; On his thigh, a few bright red palm prints were particularly eye-catching, as if the white jade was stained with chicken blood.

Even without looking at the face clinging to his back, Duke recognized who the woman behind him was. It was clearly the owner of this house ∽√, ——Cameron Diaz.

3...p?

Shaking his head gently, Duke recalled intently, and some vague fragments returned to his mind after being drunk.

He and Charlize Theron went into the villa to find a guest room, and drank a few more glasses. Just when they were happy, Cameron Diaz suddenly broke in and brought the new goods she had just obtained. He Of course they refused, and Charlize Theron and herself ignited one each, and soon became extremely excited...

The clearest clip Duke remembered was that he and Charlize were kissing wildly. Cameron Diaz took the initiative to get up, and the kiss rained down on his chest. Then he freed his hand and forced it under.

It seems that he has been very rude to Cameron Diaz last night. The tooth prints and palm prints on her body are the best proof.

"Hi, early."

Suddenly, a greeting came from his arms, Duke's eyes fell and he looked at Charlize's eyes and smiled, "Morning, dear."

"Morning, Sally."

From the position of Duke's shoulder, a dazed face stretched out, "Morning, Duke."

"Kami!"

"Duke!"

The two women realized something at the same time and quickly sat up, then looked at Duke, then at each other, blinked, probably recalling some clips, and couldn't help covering their foreheads.

"Oh, God." The two seemed to be unable to believe it.

Duke jumped out of the bed and his eyes swept across the faces of Charlize Theron and Cameron Diaz. Although they were a little surprised, they were not shocked. According to his calculations, they didn't sleep together before. I'm afraid I've seen other people in the circle have done this before.

"Damn it, Duke!"

Cameron Diaz jumped straight down, and stood in front of him in such a naked way, "Why don't you refuse?"

"Why should I refuse?" Duke took a step back and looked at her. "Do you think a man who is physically and mentally normal can refuse you and Sally under the circumstances of last night?"

"Damn it!"

With a low curse, Cameron Diaz put his hands in the tousled long blonde hair, walked back and forth, and said, "I actually slept with the man I met for the first time, or with other women! "

Spreading his hands, Duke made an expression that was exactly like this, "Calm down, Kami!"

This woman seems a bit crazy, but it's a pity that she has just turned out of the modeling circle, and her acting skills are really bad.

Charlize Theron on the other side doesn’t know what he’s thinking, maybe it’s too common in the model circle, and it’s been seen frequently at parties in the past. He looks calm, walks to the window, opens a window, and blows. The gusts of sea breeze took away the smell of smoke and wine in the bedroom, and also made people sober.

There is no other better way to deal with what happened after this kind of crazy play, except for nothing, Cameron Diaz gave Duke a bitter look, wrapped a towel casually, and walked out of the bedroom.

"Sorry, Sally."

Looking at Charlize Theron who was standing next to the bed, Duke sighed, "I didn't expect it to be like this in the end. I drank too much last night."

"You wait here for a while."

Charlize pulled a blanket, wrapped it around him, and walked out the door, "I'll get my clothes."

Yesterday they came back in swimsuits and they were still in the dressing room by the beach.

Half an hour later, Duke and Charlize walked out of Cameron Diaz’s villa. After the initial embarrassment, they returned to the state they had just met yesterday. For these female models, this book It's not a big deal. I will work hard in Hollywood in the future. This circle is not small or big. Those who have one leg or even a few legs still get along normally when they meet. This is normal.

Moreover, for Cameron Diaz, this can be regarded as a relationship with Duke, a director who is rising rapidly. If there is a suitable role, under the same conditions, he will definitely give her priority.

There are so many ways to establish relationships, and this is arguably the most common in Hollywood.

"What do you think?"

After getting on the Bentley, Duke looked at Charlize Theron in the co-pilot, "Need some water?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?" she asked suddenly.

"No." Duke shook his head.

"That..." Charlize's eyes showed expectation, "I can..."

"We should go back, Sally!" Duke interrupted her directly, started the car, waited for the car to turn into the street, after thinking for a while, said, "I will let Nancy...Nancy be my agent Let her help you introduce an excellent performance training school. If your agent is willing to join her economic company, icm will provide potential actors with training in acting, etiquette, body and accent."

He has never been a person who only knows how to take, but does not know how to give. Of course, giving will definitely be limited to a certain range.

"I will discuss with John when I go back." John is Charlize's agent.

"What you need most now is to learn, not to bump into opportunities everywhere." Duke frowned, and finally said, "It is best to quit your drug addiction. No film crew will rashly use drug addiction actors."

Speaking of this, Duke will not interfere with other people's private lives, and the mobile phone in his pocket rang before the car had been driven far away. He temporarily parked the car on the side of the road and pressed the answer button.

"where did you go?"

The questioning voice belongs to Sophia Coppola, "Since yesterday afternoon, I have called you on my cell phone five times, and I also hung up the phone to your apartment and Aunt Leah. What are you doing?"

"Sorry, I didn't see it."

Sophia must be looking for herself in a hurry. Duke understood this, "I'm going to the party."

"The beauty at the party makes you unable to move your legs?"

After sneering at first, Sophia changed the tone of talking about work, "The North American and part of the overseas share of "Break into the Dead Island" has been accounted for. The Duke Studio and your accountant need you to confirm and sign, otherwise it will not be accounted for!"

"Okay, I'll go back soon."

Hanging up, Duke speeds up and rushes directly to Los Angeles.

He did not expect that the day Warner Bros. actually found it conscientiously, it was only October, and two months before the final time of the agreement, they not only paid the North American share to the account, but also remitted part of the overseas income.

However, it took only five seconds for Duke to understand that he is now leading a multi-million-dollar project jointly invested by Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox. The other party's payment and sharing so happily is not without motivation- The share that belonged to him inspired him to work more enthusiasm, thereby creating more benefits for Warner.

After sending Charlize Theron, Duke rushed directly back to the Duke's studio in North Hollywood to work with Sophia and the accountant in financial matters.

In addition to the North American revenue share of up to 12 million US dollars, Warner Bros. also paid part of the overseas box office revenue share in advance.

Today, the overseas box office of "Break in Death Island" is as high as 222.11 million U.S. dollars. Although the film's overseas screenings may not end until next year, it has already been downgraded in most major overseas markets. Those planned and still The small and medium-sized countries and regions that screened are basically buying out the screening rights directly, and the box office produced has almost no direct profit relationship with Warner Bros. and Duke Studios.

This time, the total box office settlement amount between Warner Bros. and overseas marketers is as high as 200 million US dollars, which seems to exceed the North American box office. However, each overseas market has different proportions of theatrical distribution, different taxes, and the issuer pays for it. The deducted promotional expenses are different, and so on, the share of Warner Bros. settlement is much lower than the North American box office.

The calculation of overseas box office share is very troublesome. In some countries and regions, the share paid to Warner Bros. still needs to pay taxes, and some are the net income share after deducting taxes...

If you don’t count the taxes and other fees paid, on average, Warner Bros.’s overseas box office share can account for about 30% of the overseas box office, but after layers of benefit sharing, the actual amount received is four. A little more than one part.

Warner Bros. received more than 54 million U.S. dollars from the first overseas account split, of which various expenses such as tax payment, labor costs, capital recovery costs, and marketing expenses were deducted, and they were shared with investors such as Duke Studio The amount is 40 million US dollars.

The Duke's studio received one-fifth of it-$8 million.

The team of lawyers and accountants hired by Duke also confirmed that this number is basically true.

Compared with the huge overseas box office figures, this part of the money is not much. Of course, this is not the entire overseas revenue share. Except for a part of the box office that has to wait until the next settlement, the overseas video tape and TV copyright transfer fees are also in the Duke’s studio. Within the scope of the division, this will have to wait for the results of the negotiations between Warner Bros. and local marketers, and there will be a long wait.

This is already the time for Warner Bros.'s rare conscience to pay after Duke has shown its value. Hollywood's large-scale commercial films are by no means a quick and effective short-term investment. The tediousness and waiting often make many investors suffer.

With the income from the share, Duke is ready to implement a new plan. (A great activity for pie-dropping in the sky, cool mobile phone waiting for you!
