In February, Burbank could hardly feel the cold. The warm sunshine poured down from the sky, carrying the unique warmth of California. The weather here was completely opposite to that of New York. Nelson Peltz, who had just got off the plane, felt a little uncomfortable. When he walked into the clubhouse he had made an appointment with, he frowned slightly, just like people on the east coast always look at the west coast with colored eyes.

He flew from New York to Los Angeles on a special trip, and even booked a coffee shop in a luxury club. Of course, Nelson Peltz came to meet important people, a super rich man with more wealth and a more famous super director.

Through the relationship of Lauder's family, he managed to make an appointment with Duke Rosenberg. Naturally, he paid special attention to it, and came ten minutes early on purpose.

Sitting in the open-air coffee shop, admiring the beautiful scenery of the garden of the clubhouse, Nelson Peltz finally considered his rhetoric. He knew that the person who set up a bridge for him was only Irene Lauder's cousin, and the other party was not Irene Lauder after all. Lauder himself, with Duke Rosenberg as a man, I am afraid that he will not buy his own account too much.

Nelson Peltz had studied Duke and knew that to impress him, he had to offer tangible benefits.

After taking a sip of coffee, Nelson Peltz couldn't help sighing. If it wasn't for the woman he loves the most, he wouldn't have made this special trip.

But since her daughter has chosen the Hollywood path, Duke Rosenberg's film is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

Although a businessman and capitalist, Nelson Peltz was also a good father.

Less than 1 minute before the appointed time, Duke appeared in the open-air cafe on time. He glanced at the old man who stood up to meet him, smiled politely, and walked steadily over.

"Hello, Director Rosenberg."

Meet Duke.Nelson Peltz offered his right hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Peltz." Duke reached out and shook Nelson Peltz's hand. "Nice to meet you, too."

After a few polite words, they sat down at the same coffee table under the guidance of Nelson Peltz.After the waiter delivered the coffee and left, the politeness between each other disappeared in an instant, and the words gradually turned to the main topic.

"Mr. Peltz..." Duke asked with a little doubt, "I didn't know you asked me out..."

Nelson Peltz smiled and said, "Call me Neil."

Duke nodded, "You can call me Duke."

He still looked at Nelson Peltz with puzzled eyes, as if he really didn't know what his intention was.

"I heard that "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is cooperating with multiple brands." Nelson Peltz asked with a slight smile, "A full range of publicity and promotion?"

This is no secret at all, Duke nodded directly, "That's right, every Hollywood commercial masterpiece will do this."

Nelson Peltz said sincerely. "My Snape drink also wants to join the ranks."

This is the "Star Wars" series. If you want to cooperate with such a project, you will not only have to spend real money, but also a huge sum of money.

There is no free lunch in this world.Duke knew this very well, and he asked bluntly. "Neil, what's your request?"

"I heard that the heroine of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has not yet been determined?" Nelson Peltz said as tactfully as possible, "Duke, can you carefully consider the choice of heroine."

That's all for now.Nelson? Peltz's intentions have been fully revealed.

"Sorry, Neil." Duke shook his head slightly. "Your news is a little behind. In fact, I have already confirmed the candidate for the heroine."

This is not a word of refusal. After holding the third audition for the leading actress a few days ago, Duke has confirmed that British actress Daisy Ridley will play the heroine of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".

Nelson Peltz couldn't help but frowned, "Do you know who the final candidate is?"

The news will be officially announced soon, in line with Lucasfilm and Warner Bros.' promotional plans, and Duke has no need to hide it, saying, "An actress from the UK."

Even though he knew that his daughter had little hope of winning, the former Nelson Peltz still had some hope. He only knew that Nicola Peltz had been eliminated when he heard the actor's nationality.

But he is a seasoned business tycoon after all. After thinking for a while, he said, "Snape Drinks can become the main sponsor of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

Duke smiled, but didn't say anything, instead he picked up the coffee cup.

Snape stands out with its fashionable and alternative style, and has won the leading position in the market. This beverage brand is very high-end, but it is not a mass drink. Duke is skeptical about the promotional effect of cooperation with them, and for a sponsorship , the risk of changing the heroine is not worth it at all.

When has his commercial blockbuster lacked sponsorship?

Seeing Duke pick up the coffee cup, Nelson Peltz knew that these conditions did not impress him, which was expected. After all, the other party is the top director in Hollywood. If he was impressed so easily, he might not be able to reach his current status. .

Before coming here, he did enough homework, knowing that Hollywood has encountered a money shortage since 2008, and money is the most indispensable basic condition for a successful movie.

"Personally, I'd like to be in..."

But just as Nelson Peltz said the next thing, he was interrupted by Duke who put down his coffee cup and raised his hand, "Neil, I want to remind you that this is my movie, this is "Star Wars"!"

Nelson Peltz was suddenly dumb, and couldn't help showing a bitter smile.

Yes, this is Duke Rosenberg's movie, and it's still the "Star Wars" series. How could there be a lack of investment? It's completely unrealistic to impress Duke Rosenberg with investment. thoughts...

Just like an actress can win the leading role by taking off her clothes, it is not a reliable way to use part of the investment in Hollywood to ensure that one person can get the leading role of the corresponding movie, especially for large commercial productions.

Take "Star Wars" as an example, how much can Nelson Peltz personally invest?

Duke has a certain understanding of the billionaire from New York, who ranked 360th on Forbes' list of the world's richest people last year, with a net worth of about $11 billion.

The 11 billion US dollars is not working capital, but all property. In this way, how much can Nelson Peltz personally invest?I'm afraid it's eight figures, and if "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is successful, what is the expected profit?

I am afraid that all the net worth of Nelson Peltz cannot be compared!

Compared with Nelson Peltz's investment of tens of millions of dollars, the huge risk of replacing an unsuitable heroine is simply too great.

As a veteran in shopping malls, Nelson Peltz naturally knew that there was no need to continue the conversation. Duke's attitude was very obvious. It was impossible for his daughter Nicola Peltz to get "Star Wars: The Original The heroine of The Force Awakens.

Nelson Peltz couldn't help but look disappointed.

But since he heard that Nelson Peltz intends to invest in his daughter, Duke's thoughts have turned to other aspects. The information on Nicola Peltz has long been transferred to Michael Bay, and this The rich second generation who was born as a child star also participated in an interview, but his performance was not satisfactory.

The budget of "Transformers 4" is not as sufficient as that of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". To the complaints of many fans.

For the consideration of the entire series, Duke originally planned to invest another sum of money, but now there is a more suitable choice.

Nelson Peltz was just about to say a few polite words before leaving, but Duke suddenly said, "Neil, I'm actually very optimistic about Miss Nicola Peltz's future, but her temperament and appearance It is not suitable for the requirements of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and the setting of the heroine."

Hearing Duke's words, Nelson Peltz immediately swallowed back what he almost said. The news that Duke Rosenberg could be favored by Duke Rosenberg only got out. Nicola Peltz's worth and His reputation will rise a lot, and he may even get a heavyweight actor contract.

"I recommended Miss Nicola Peltz to the director of Transformers 4, Michael Bay..." Duke paused.

Nelson Peltz is very good, "My consultant also suggested to me to invest in "Transformers 4."

Although the word-of-mouth of this series is getting worse and worse, there is still no problem in recovering the investment, and by the way, it can make my daughter an important actor in it, which is a good deal.

Duke is obviously borrowing chicken to lay eggs. Hollywood has plenty of ways to deal with foreign investors. If Nelson Peltz invests in "Transformers 4", it will be no problem to get back the cost in the future, but it will be difficult to make profits.

These two people can be said to have their own plans.

After finding a consensus, it was much easier to talk about some things. Duke didn't say anything specific, and Tina Fey would let people deal with it. Besides, after Nicola Peltz's first audition, the actual She was finalized as the heroine when she was on Michael Bay, and Nelson Peltz's investment and sponsorship contract were simply abducted by him.

For this series of movies that are highly sought after around the world, the heroine is almost whoever plays it. After Duke and Michael Bay kicked Amber Heard out of this series, the heroine of the film is also selected by the media and fans focus of attention.

Originally, Duke did not plan to change the heroine, but Amber Heard has been famous for so many years, but she is still not smart enough, especially not being able to control her own mouth. (to be continued~^~)
