Chapter 529 The protagonist is a pit
After Google's listing, the stock price has continued to climb, which can be said to be Duke's biggest source of wealth. In the latest issue of Forbes' list of the world's richest people, he entered the top 30 of the world's richest for the first time with a net worth of $9.2 billion. ranks.
The most important thing is that Duke is not like some rich people who seem to be beautiful but actually have hardships. He has no debts and bad assets, and his net worth of 9.2 billion US dollars is almost all net worth.
Of course, because Google does not pay dividends and has restrictions on major shareholder transactions, most of Duke's shares cannot be realized.
But Duke's investment is to preserve value, and he also knows how huge Google will be in the future, and it is impossible to sell the hard-earned shares in his hands.
And when Google took the initiative to find him again, Duke also proposed a share exchange.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin found Duke at the same time, and the three of them interviewed for an entire morning without any results. The two Google founders targeted him and Ivan. Card? Instant Share created by Trump!
Instant Share is now the largest social networking site in the United States and the video site with the highest click rate. It is normal for Google to see it. Whether it is to list the company or someone buys it, it holds 45% of the shares. And Duke, who has the corresponding voting rights, cannot be bypassed.
Although the desire to sell the equity in hand is not strong, it is a basic business activity. If the price paid by Google is high enough, Duke is not unable to consider it, and he also put forward a condition, that is, whether to exchange equity or A-share exchange.
The two founders of Google will certainly not agree easily. Duke is not in a hurry. After all, even if the other party agrees, Google needs to convince Ivanka Trump if it wants to win instant sharing.
From March last year to the present for more than half a year, Ivanka and Duke have been in a cold war, especially after Duke made up his mind not to compromise with Donald Trump. His agent has had many conflicts with Ivanka on the company's share expansion and financing, and still keeps the Trump Organization's funds firmly outside the company. .
Despite his tough personality, Duke was equally uncomfortable thinking about the relationship he had taken seriously. After all, people's hearts are full of flesh, and in his relationship with Ivanka, he is not the kind of person who only asks without giving.
However, he always sees clearly where his goals and future lie. No matter it is a woman or any difficulties, he will not slow down his progress.
Like all men and women in America. It is a normal situation to have a relationship on and off. Whether it is a man or a woman, they will be sad because of the loss of their relationship, but few people will die like in movies or novels. And no one will tolerate infinitely, and tolerance is always limited.
Someone of Duke's character. He will not be saddened by this kind of thing. He still has work to do, and there are huge movie plans waiting to be implemented in the future.
A pile of ashes is still smoking in the Warners open-air zone. Anne Hathaway carefully shuttled through it and found the busy Christian Bale. The two childhood sweethearts who were destined to be tragic looked at each other affectionately, with too many complicated things in their eyes.
Duke stands behind the monitor, watching the duo perform, the final scene of Batman: Hour of War, a long shot, perhaps an impending relaxation, for Anne Hathaway and Christie Ann Bell was a little slack. They had already NG several times in the previous shooting, and this time the two have obviously adjusted their state.
Unlike James Cameron's style, Duke isn't the type to lose control of his temper on set.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you.
Christian Bale's lines mean something. After all, this is a realistic style film. Batman wants to fight crime and is destined to live in loneliness.
You don't have to apologize, Bruce...I've been thinking about you, and us...
Anne Hathaway got closer and closer, and the two finally kissed, which seemed to be a happy ending in line with the usual Hollywood style, but she took the initiative to distance herself.
You are Batman, the nemesis of evil. Bruce has been left in a corner of the world. Maybe he will come back when Gotham City is truly safe...
Holding hands, the two walked toward the set, and Duke shouted, Cut!
He looked around the set and said aloud, The filming is officially over!
There were not many people on the set. After Duke's words, there was only a sparse applause.
Pressing the playback button on the monitor, Duke looked at the scene just shot again, made sure there was no problem, and asked the assistant to notify the crew to call it quits.
This is not a traditional Hollywood ending, and it is not too heavy compared to the next dark knight. Duke has to consider the audience's acceptance after all. The investment in the Batman series determines that this cannot be a willful Cut. film, but a mainstream commercial film covered in a dark reality style.
As for the difficulty of having a lover to become a dependent, this is nothing to Batman fans at all.
In countless comics and movies in the past, Bruce Wayne is a bottomless pit for female characters. Female characters who have feelings or relationships with him are basically not given a good end. Many people have such a consensus that if there is no demigod physique and ability of Wonder Woman Diana Prinz, it is best not to have sex with Batman.
Only a strong woman like Wonder Woman can survive Superman and Batman.
The shooting ended, and the crew held a shutdown party that night. The party was held in a hotel near Warner Studios. Many people chose to attend with their male or female companions, and compared to the 1990s This is a crazy and indulgent party mode. Now the shutdown party is more formal. In today's infinitely fast information flow, the producers and distributors will not miss any opportunity for publicity and hype.
The public relations department of Warner Bros. specially laid the red carpet in front of the hotel where the party was held, and notified a large number of media reporters in advance. This is a Duke film, and it has never lacked attention.
Not only media reporters, but Warner Bros. has also gathered hundreds of fans through instant-sharing fan circles. At first glance, this party looks like a small awards ceremony.
Different from others in pairs, Duke walked the red carpet alone. Now that the filming of the film is over, and the more important publicity period has begun, he no longer avoids media reporters. He stood in the interview area in front of the hotel and accepted Reporter's interview.
The hard part is the actual shooting process, which is always tiring...
This kind of interview is nothing more than that, talking about the difficulties and interesting things in the filming, and then revealing some so-called secrets that can make the media hype. After so many years, Duke can be said to be experienced and easy to deal with.
Entertainment journalists aren't just concerned with movies, though.
After a few questions about the movie, a reporter quickly asked, Director Rosenberg, are you back to being single now?
Sorry... Duke was still indifferent, I won't answer questions that have nothing to do with the movie.
After he finished speaking, he made a look beside him, and several security personnel immediately walked over to separate a path, and Duke walked into the hotel without looking back.
Compared with the shutdown party full of drugs and various drugs in the last century, this party is undoubtedly more formal, more like a social business party. Once Duke enters the banquet hall, it will inevitably become the focus of many people's communication. .
Among them, there are stars, who are testing the possibility of cooperation in the future; there are agents, who try to sell their actors to him; there are sponsors, who want to get the opportunity to place advertisements in his commercial works...
After turning around at the party, Duke didn't stay long before he left the hotel and planned to return to Malibu. The more than two months of filming consumed a lot of his energy, and as he got older, unless it was necessary for work, other Time pays attention to the regularity of work and rest. After all, although he is strong enough, he is still a normal person and must pay attention to the maintenance of his body.
In Hollywood, there are countless men and women who are prematurely aging. The most typical Angelina Jolie, Duke has seen her without makeup. .
Duke's personal life was also quite chaotic, but looking at Hollywood, he definitely belongs to the more restrained type.
When leaving, Duke met Anne Hathaway and her boyfriend again. The big-mouthed actress smiled brightly and kept showing her happiness and love at the party.
Duke didn't care either. No matter which woman she was, she would probably be like Anne Hathaway who could find a boyfriend with such a prominent identity.
Anne Hathaway does have a reason to be happy. She fought her way out of the siege and won the heroine of Duke's new film, which means that her acting career is about to turn over; having a boyfriend who represents Vatican business affairs means spending a long time. No worries...
In any way, she seems to be approaching the direction of a winner in life.
Even Anne Hathaway's gaze has turned to another actress of the same age. The other is a recognized representative of Hollywood actresses born in the 1980s. Perhaps with Duke's masterpiece, she can catch up with Nata. Lily Portman even surpassed her?
Just like when people mention actresses born in the 1960s and 1970s, the first thing that comes to mind is Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway also wants to be a representative of those born in the 1980s!
However, it is not easy to do all this. In places she can't see, the fierce competition between films often affects the actors. (To be continued ^)
