Chapter 33 The first stage

Chapter 33 The first stage

Ask for a recommendation! Ask for collection!

In the past year or so, the hardships and anxiety of work have made Duke concentrate on his career and never think about other things, but as Mrs. Leah said, when he was in school, he had many temporary girlfriends. How could you not hear what Naomi Watts was saying.

As the apartment door slammed shut, the bodies of Duke and Naomi Watts had become entangled.

Don't you want to drink water?

In line with Duke's actions, Naomi shook the evening dress to the floor, Duke held her face and looked down, Honey, how can water be delicious to you.

Just as he was talking, Naomi had already skillfully removed the belt from his waist. Duke was not polite, he directly hugged the petite girl, walked through the small living room, kicked open the bedroom door, and rushed through. After entering, he kicked the door to death.

Oh... Naomi's exclamation sounded in the bedroom, followed by intense gasps.

About an hour later, the flushed blonde walked out of the bedroom wearing a men's dress shirt, walked to the TV cabinet, opened the drawer, found a new toothbrush, went to the bathroom, took a glass of water, and squeezed it. The toothpaste toothbrush was placed on the cup and returned to the bedroom.

Duke, Duke...

She picked up Dukera, who was drunk and began to be confused again, and pushed him into the bathroom. Duke pursed his lips, and seemed a little dissatisfied with disturbing him to sleep, Honey, I think I should go to bed.

Your mouth is full of alcohol. Naomi handed over the toothbrush, Duke reluctantly took it, put it in his mouth, and said vaguely, I've never...I've never drank so much today. liquor.

It means you're far less peaceful than you seem.

Picking up her toothbrush, Naomi Watts squinted at Duke, her blue-green eyes narrowed slightly, The success of Speed ​​of Life makes you very excited!

Perhaps so.

After spitting out the foam, he walked to the next shower and rinsed briefly. Duke walked out of the bathroom wearing a large bath towel. After drying his body, he wrapped the bath towel around his waist and sat on a wooden chair. Naomi Watts' rental apartment.

This is a two-bedroom apartment. The area is not large, at most 300 square feet. The living room has only been simply decorated. Except for a few sofas, chairs and TV cabinets, there is no furniture. It can be seen that she is indeed very ordinary in Hollywood.

After taking a bath, Duke woke up quite a bit, picked up the scattered clothes that were thrown on the ground, and separated his own from them.

There were light footsteps from the bathroom, and Naomi, wrapped in a bath towel, frowned and asked, Are you going?

There seemed to be unstoppable disappointment in his tone.

She walked to the sofa and sat on it with her arms crossed, staring straight at Duke, Are you going to walk back?

I'm just tidying up my clothes.

There are no taxis running everywhere in Los Angeles, Duke walked over, bent over and squeezed her cheek, and kissed her lightly on the smooth forehead, Sleeping alone is more comfortable than sleeping with you in your arms. ?

As he said that, he put his right hand into Naomi's clean leg, and squeezed it twice on the inside of her thigh. Just as Naomi's coquettish cry, he hugged her again.

It was just dessert just now. Turning into the next bedroom, Duke looked at her sweet and charming face and said, It's dinner now.

Men and women are often the best way to relieve stress.

Just as the light outside the building was reflected on the window, Duke opened his eyes on time and stretched his waist comfortably. In the past year or so, he hadn't slept as deeply as he slept last night. A good night's sleep and an equally good bedtime exercise almost completely dispelled past anxiety and insomnia.

Turning his head and looking at it, he saw that he was empty for a long time. He took the clothes that were stacked beside him, Duke put them on his body, walked out of the bedroom, followed the faint voice, and came to the door of the kitchen.

It smells so good. He leaned on the door frame, looking at the petite and graceful back, What's for breakfast?

Are you hungry? Naomi Watts turned her head. Omelette toast, it'll be ready soon.

I'm going to wash. Duke nodded, turned and went into the bathroom on the other side.

After breakfast, Duke and Naomi Watts walked out of the apartment building together. From the moment they left the apartment, the two automatically distanced themselves, just like ordinary friends, and came to Naomi's red Ford.

Where do you want to go? I'll see you off. She opened the door. Santa Monica?

The public transportation in Los Angeles is not developed, Duke just thought for a few seconds, then said, Go back to Century City, my car is still there.

The red Ford car drove in the direction it came from last night, and everything went back to its starting point.

You don't have a boyfriend, do you?

On the way, Duke took the initiative to break the silence in the car, and Naomi Watts shrugged, Do you want to be my boyfriend?

Do you want to be my girlfriend?

Hearing Duke's words, Naomi smiled, Last night was a wonderful night, and I admit to having a good impression of you.

What Duke said just now was just a question. This is Hollywood, one of the most chaotic places in the world for the relationship between men and women. Everyone is an adult, and they will not see this kind of eye-to-eye as just one night of needing each other's bodies. Love too really.

The contract I signed with Nancy had a stipulation, Naomi Watts added. During the contract period, I had to get her consent before I had a boyfriend, got engaged, married, and had children.

That's the price to pay for being famous, Duke replied casually.

This kind of contract is very common in Hollywood, even many big-name stars have this kind of stipulation in their brokerage contracts.

Yeah, but I've always had physical needs. She turned to look at Duke, what about you? There's no such thing in your contract? Nancy would be pissed off if she knew the two of us were together.

No, Duke shook his head, I don't have the time or energy to have a girlfriend.

You shouldn't... Naomi first showed a winning expression, and then shook her head, Your skills are very good, you are not a novice, you should not maintain several open relationships at the same time, right?

Actually, you're the first woman I've met in more than a year.

As if to distinguish the truth of Duke's words, Naomi Watts was silent for a while, and then said seriously, Last night was the first time since I came to the United States, and it was the most wonderful time.

Thank you! Duke said politely.

The car slowly drove into the parking lot last night, Duke opened the door, just got out of the car, turned his head to the driver's seat and said, Don't worry, I won't mention this to Nancy.

If... Naomi Watts hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Duke and said, You have needs, and I happen to have needs...

With a shrug, Duke made a phone call gesture, turned his head and walked towards his Chevrolet.

Now is just the beginning of the road to dream. Duke will not take it for granted that he will succeed in the future because of Speed ​​of Life, and he will never stagnate. He is very clear that he is only a rookie in the directing industry, whether it is shooting The techniques and the language of the camera are far from mature, and there are still many, many things to learn and practice, and maintaining a relationship will consume a lot of time and energy, which is not suitable for him now.

But this is a high-pressure industry. He does not smoke or drink alcohol. He hates drugs and addictive drugs. There must be a channel to pour out the pressure, otherwise the insomnia and anxiety caused by the pressure are likely to reappear. A relationship between a man and a woman where you get what you want and don't need to be responsible may be a good choice.

In fact, this is like most couples in Hollywood. When you need to come together, if you don't need it, then wave goodbye.

Driving his own Chevrolet, Duke went straight back to Santa Monica, then called Nancy, and Vito helped her find a suitable rental apartment near Hollywood or Burbank. According to the mainstream tradition of this country, He must be independent.

After part of the payment was received, Duke was not only able to completely pay off the debts he owed during the filming of the experimental film, but also had the money to find a suitable house. Although it was a bit difficult to buy, there was definitely no problem with renting.

Afterwards, Duke went for a run around Oceanside Boulevard, returned to the studio on the second floor, and began to do the necessary preparatory work for the next plan.

He has to think about the scenes, colors, props, camera positions, sets, shots, actors, etc. in advance. The time has entered July. If he wants to catch up with next year's summer season, he, the director, must be in front of the project.

Also, Duke has already planned the first phase of the road at this time, which consists of four movies with a distinct explosion style, as the first Life and Death only destroyed half of Santa Monica In the second part, he wants to destroy San Francisco and Alcatraz; in the third part, he will directly turn the largest cities in North America such as New York, Washington, and Los Angeles into a sea of ​​flames;

Then, it's time to transform, after all, explosions can easily lead to aesthetic fatigue.

There is no news about the project from the film company for the second film. He is sorting out the outlines and templates for the third and fourth films. After the equal parts are all in place, he can recruit several screenwriters to help him complete it together. This is also a typical Hollywood assembly line. screenwriting work.

Duke...

A maid's voice came from downstairs, I have your phone.

coming……

He answered and hurried out of the studio, ran down the stairs, and took the microphone.

Hello, this is Duke Rosenberg...

Before he could finish speaking, Duke was interrupted by the voice on the phone, and then said in surprise, You're back in Los Angeles? To be my assistant? What about your internship at Chanel? You quit?
