Chapter four hundred and eighty sixth headache
International travel company?
After taking a look at the business card, Ivanka looked up and asked Duke, Will you still provide escort services?
Probably. Duke shrugged.
Hollywood really has every company.
After muttering this sentence, Ivanka turned around and walked aside, threw the business card directly into the trash can, and just came back and took Duke's arm when the phone rang in her handbag.
I'm going to pick up a call. She took out her phone and glanced at it, Dad called.
Duke nodded, Go ahead.
Ivanka had just left, and Warner Bros. CEO Doug Walter came over.
There was a young man just now. Doug Walter asked for two glasses of champagne, put a glass in Duke's hand, and said, He just found me and wants to invest in the Warners project.
Who? Duke already had some guesses in his mind.
Sure enough, Doug Walter said, Son of madman Larry Ellison, he wants to invest in your project and Harry Potter.
Duke looked interested, I guess you must have refused.
Do you think I'll agree? Doug Walter took a sip of champagne. Don't say it's him, it's his father who came over, and I'll also refuse.
Larry Ellison did make a name for himself, but that was in IT, not Hollywood.
Just like investing in well-known and established companies such as General Electric, investing in Hollywood can sometimes be difficult to use if you have money.
Moreover, Duke and Warner are not short of funds.
Doug Walter didn't take David Ellison to heart either, and changed the subject, Duke, I think it's more appropriate for the DVD of The Return of the King to be released after the Oscars.
You seem confident. Duke understood why.
Warner's publicity and public relations department is already operating. Doug Walter is indeed confident, We have accumulated such a big advantage with the trilogy. If the grand prize still runs away, I will definitely fire those two departments. everyone!
The sound of high heels landing sounded, Ivanka walked over quickly, and Doug Walter basically finished what he should have said, said hello to her, and then left.
What's the matter. Honey?
When I went out just now, Ivanka was in a very good mood, and now there is obviously a little unhappy on her face.
It's nothing. Ivanka squeezed a smile to Duke, I had a few arguments with Dad, and I'll talk about it when I get home.
Hearing that it was a matter between father and daughter, Duke wisely never continued to ask questions, and Donald Trump would make some outrageous actions from time to time. Disagreements with Ivanka are not once or twice.
The party continued until very late, and it was close to midnight when Duke and Ivanka returned to the Duke's Manor and entered the eye-shaped villa, Tina Fey was still sitting in the living room. Obviously something is waiting for them.
Is something wrong? Duke asked.
Um.
Tina Fey nodded. There's a press conference in New York tonight.
Ivanka was about to go upstairs at this time and said, I'll go back to the room to take a shower first.
Evie... Tina Fey stopped her. You'd better take a look too.
It's about me? Ivanka couldn't help but feel a little strange.
It's about Mr. Donald Trump.
While talking, Tina Fey turned on the TV. A pre-recorded video was shown of a press conference featuring Donald Trump.
With just one look, Duke frowned.
This is Donald Trump's book launch. His book is called Trump and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy!
I participated in a lot of work in the pre-production and post-production of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, which is described in detail in the book.
Now that The Lord of the Rings trilogy is recognized as a phenomenal film, Donald Trump obviously wants to use it to expand his influence, and his words are also explosive enough, Not only the content of the film, but also my Something with Duke and Duke and Ivanka...
Eyes off the TV screen, Ivanka glanced at Duke first, then at Tina Fey.
I didn't know beforehand, she whispered. I didn't hear about it until the party call. I wanted to come back and mention it to you.
Duke nodded, didn't say anything, but continued to watch this press conference. Donald Trump is undoubtedly a master of show, and his words in the interview basically revolved around him and Ivanka.
No one likes to be a tool for other people's hype, Duke is no exception, his face is very calm, but his heart is not very happy.
Ivanka wanted to explain a few words for her father, Duke, Dad...
Honey, Duke interrupted rarely, it's none of your business.
At this moment, he remembered that Donald Trump once said that he would publish a book. At that time, the two almost had a conflict, which was subtly resolved by Ivanka. There was no news about the other party's book, and he forgot about it. In the back of his head, it now seems that Donald has long planned to release the book when the trilogy has reached a peak in its impact.
Turn it off, Tina.
Duke asked Tina Fey to turn off the television, even though the video of the press conference was only a clip.
Duke sat on the couch with one hand gently clasping the arm of the sofa, and Ivanka sat beside him, rubbing her forehead with her fingers, obviously not knowing what to do.
Although the words have nothing to do with Ivanka, how can Duke handle this matter and avoid her?
I'm sorry, Duke. Ivanka also had a headache.
She knew very well what kind of person her father was. If it wasn't for the phone call at night, she would not have known it until now. She originally thought that her father had given up the idea of publishing a book long ago, but she didn't expect that in the end...
It's okay, honey.
Duke shook her hand comfortingly and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. Since this happened, he couldn't take his anger on Ivanka. It would be too unfair to her.
It's just that Ivanka's superb father is really a headache.
Tina, notify lawyer Al Ryder tomorrow. Duke didn't plan to hide from Ivanka. Contradictions can easily arise when such things are kept secret. Send Donald a lawyer's letter!
Ivanka took Duke's arm and could only show a helpless smile.
Duke also knows that this is just to show his attitude to the other party. Donald Trump likes hype and show, but he is not a fool. I will definitely not talk about it in the book. With North American copyright laws, even if he and Ivanka are involved in the book, there is nothing to do.
Is it possible to take Donald Trump to court? Even so, the lawsuit will only drag on indefinitely.
While North America is all about freedom and independence, Duke is sure if he and Donald Trump are torn apart. It will definitely hurt Ivanka.
Although he is as far as two Pacific Oceans away from kindness, he doesn't want to take the initiative to hurt this hard-working relationship.
Back in the room, Ivanka closed the door and hugged Duke from behind, her face completely pressed against his thick back. Listening to the strong heartbeat, Thank you.
We don't have to be so polite. Duke turned around, took Ivanka into his arms, and kissed her on the forehead hard. Don't think too much, rest early.
Well... Ivanka nodded. Kicked off the high heels and walked towards the bathroom, I'm going to take a shower.
Saying that, she turned around. together?
Okay. Duke certainly wouldn't refuse such an invitation.
Ivanka waited for Duke to come to her side, and then took him to the bathroom with him. During the short journey, her eyes flashed several times, and when she entered the door, she said, I plan to go back to New York tomorrow to have a good time with my father. talk.
Duke stopped, thought about it, and said, That's fine.
It might be a good idea for Ivanka to have a good conversation with Donald Trump. Duke never thought that the activist who was keen to show off could completely give up the topic of him and Ivanka as a media topic, as long as he restrained himself Some are fine.
The next morning, Duke went for a run in the garden, but Ivanka stayed. She walked into the gym and saw Tina Fey working out on the treadmill.
Hi, Tina.
Hi, Evie.
The two greeted affectionately as usual, and Ivanka stood in front of Tina Fey's treadmill.
Tina Fey looked at her, pressed the stop button, and asked, Is something wrong?
It's nothing, I just want to ask you. Ivanka thought for a while before saying, Tina, what would you do if you encountered this situation?
Me? Tina Fey pointed to herself, then shook her head and smiled, I am Duke's assistant, and I have only one principle of work. Those who harm Duke's interests are my enemies.
Ivanka could only roll her eyes at her. After sighing, she realized that she had asked the wrong person completely. The other person was Duke's deputy and the actual person in charge of the Duke's studio. How could she be on the side of others.
Putting away her smile, Tina Fey jumped off the treadmill, stood in front of Ivanka, and patted her arm lightly, Evie, we have been friends since New Zealand, you go back to New York with your father Have a good talk, no one will tolerate it indefinitely.
I see.
Having said that, Ivanka still has a headache when she thinks of her father.
After breakfast, Duke asked the driver to take Ivanka to the airport first. He and Tina Fey went directly to Duke's studio in Burbank. The preparations for Hurricane Rescue continued, and the work could not be suspended. As for On Donald Trump's side, he has informed lawyer Al Ryder to routinely send a lawyer's letter, and Ivanka will handle the rest.
That book that went on the market, for the time being, doesn't exist.
When he arrived at the studio, Duke saw the investment letter of intent officially sent by David Ellison, which included several projects that Duke's studio participated in. He just glanced at it and asked Tina Fey to reply. rejected outright.
Although he was rejected by Duke, David Ellison did not give up his plan to enter Hollywood. He met a big Hollywood figure under the help of others. (To be continued ^)
