American fame and fortune

Opposite Warner Studios, Smoky House restaurant.

Martin ordered the steak and looked towards the stage. The young pianist was playing jazz, and the cheerful music made people feel relaxed.

On the opposite side, Bruce flipped through his notebook and asked, "The time and place of the event have been confirmed, now notify the gossip media and the paparazzi?"

Martin withdrew his gaze: "They are far less interested in normal film and television news than in entertainment gossip. It won't be too late to call Anne when I make an appointment."

He is very qualified and considerate of others: "We can't let journalists run away, we need to further improve our professionalism, and we will resolutely refrain from doing bad things like cheating and abducting."

Bruce wanted revenge, so he asked intentionally, "Aren't you cheating and kidnapping? Are you and Annie really in love?"

"Of course!" Martin used the most appropriate metaphor: "My feelings for Anne are as real as diamonds."

Bruce felt that there was something wrong with Martin's metaphor, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

The cheerful music was still going on, which happened to be the type Martin liked. When the waiter brought the steak, he pointed to the other side of the stage: "The pianist is good."

The waiter smiled and said, "His name is Sebastian, and he is a pianist."

Martin nodded: "Send a bouquet of flowers and put it on this table."

After the song was over, the waiter brought flowers and said something in a low voice. Sebastian nodded to Martin to thank him.

Bruce counted the time: "The publicity campaign matches the exposure rhythm of you and Annie."

Martin responded, but turned his head to look at the door. Angelina Jolie and Louise entered the restaurant together.

The two came this way, and Martin got up and said hello: "Why are you here?"

Louise smiled at him: "No one treats guests, we can only come and pay for it ourselves."

Martin abandoned Bruce very shamelessly, and said, "I'll treat you to lunch."

Because she often went to the "Alexander the Great" crew, after seeing Martin several times, Julie was familiar with him and said, "Let's go together."

The three sat at another table and ordered their own meals.

Louise asked Martin: "Is there any progress on 'Wanted'?"

"No." Martin said simply, "The crew of Geshan Youyan is going to hold a promotional event here, and I'll help with ideas."

He will not snub Julie: "If the crew has a superstar like Angie, the media will rush to report."

The other party spoke nicely, but Julie didn't get dizzy, and smiled: "I'm not a superstar, and few production crews dare to use me as the heroine."

Martin asked, "I heard you made an action movie."

Jolie's current situation is not good: "My most successful film so far is "Tomb Raider", but the response to the second one is not good."

Martin praised: "Laura is cool and sassy, ​​everyone around me likes it."

Louise glanced over Martin's face, and suddenly remembered what Martin had discussed with Bradt, the screenwriter of "Wanted", and planned to rewrite Fox, the black supporting actress in the comics, as a white female killer, and a cool girl. .

Jolie said: "Unfortunately there won't be a third one."

Martin could tell that Julie was not against action roles.

He didn't say much, and with his qualifications, he was not convincing at all.

Let Louise talk about what needs to be said.

When the meal came, Martin turned the conversation to war and refugees.

Sure enough, Julie has noticed this and is getting closer to this road.

Because of the common topic, after this lunch, Julie's impression of Martin changed from being slightly impressed to being deeply impressed.

Martin paid the bill and returned to the studio with Louise and Julie.

Julie goes to a promotional event.

Martin went into Louise's office.

Louise was curious: "Since when did you care about Afghanistan and Iraq?"

Martin went to pour a glass of water, and opened his mouth to talk nonsense: "Isn't this our universal values ​​and democratic feelings?"

Louise snorted: "Americans don't believe this, but those who were beaten and lost their homes?"

Martin didn't say much: "Who knows." He turned to the topic: "I want to invite Jolie to play "Wanted", just the role of Fox."

"Julie's salary is not cheap. The heroine of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is paid $10 million." Louise was full of doubts: "Whether the $10 million is worth the ticket price is hard to say."

Martin feels that there is a possibility that Jolie's salary will drop, and "Alexander the Great" will be released in December.

Although Louise's platter funds are involved, Martin can only watch this kind of matter based on his current ability.

The remuneration of Hollywood commercial films directly refers to the performance of the actors in the last three films, the most critical of which is the latest film.

Martin knew very well that for the success of "Wanted Warrant" in the previous life, Julie's appeal cannot be ignored.

Since the beginning of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", Julie's career has entered the fast lane and she has become one of the few actresses in Hollywood who can stand alone at the box office.

Like Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Cate Blanchett and Meryl Streep, etc., in terms of commercial appeal alone, they are more than two grades behind Jolie.

Martin specifically inquired that "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" will be released in May next year.

Louise looked at Martin: "What do you think? Sometimes I can't see through your thoughts."

Martin laughed happily: "I am such a pure person, every time you see it all and see it through."

Louise pushed up her black-rimmed glasses: "I'm not even sure if the you I see is the real you."

Martin patted the heart: "Shall I dig it out and show you?"

Louise opened the drawer, rummaged through it, found a wallpaper knife, put it on the table and pushed it over, making a gesture of please.

Martin picked up the wallpaper knife, pushed it up, and pushed it to the end. No blade was exposed, and said, "I knew it, you couldn't bear it."

Louise threw a box of blades over.

Martin put it away and put it in his pocket, as if he had never said what he said just now, he simply changed the subject: "Let's talk about this matter later, even if we invite, Julie may not agree."

Louise understands Julie's situation: "She is short of money recently, and she will almost definitely agree to the salary."

Seeing that she was about to take the razor blade again, Martin said, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first, and I'll go to your house to find you another day."

After leaving the studio and at the entrance of the studio, Martin joined Bruce and said, "Go to the Paramount studio, I'm going to meet my favorite Annie."

Bruce started the car: "You have too many favorites. If they form a favorite alliance, will you be killed?"

"No." Martin said seriously, "Because you will protect me."

...

During the lunch break, Rachel logged into her personal MSN account and entered the group created some time ago.

Most of the dozens of most active users in Martin's blog area have joined Rachel's fan group.

She quickly edited an announcement, informing all members that Martin and the "Mountains Have Eyes" fan meeting will be held next Saturday in the Burbank Hotel Ballroom, and the first trailer will be released at that time.

A male fan asked: "Head, shall we go over for dinner? Or?"

Rachel had an impression of this man, a little fat man, and replied: "The crew provides a free buffet, and everyone present will have a gift."

Another person answered: "Rachel, you are amazing, you have won such good treatment for us!"

Rachel sent a smiley emoji: "Martin fought for us. I planned to have an ordinary dinner party. After Martin heard the news, he specifically sought support from the crew, and this event was only possible."

"Martin is so cool!"

"Favorite Martin!"

"Always support Martin!"

Amidst a long line of cheers, a user named Phoebe asked, "Shall we make a present for Martin?"

Others responded one after another.

Someone asked: "What should I prepare?"

There are all kinds of answers, and some people even propose to give Martin a doll...

Phoebe asked Rachel, "Did you attend Martin's meet and greet, was there anything special?"

Rachel quickly remembered the most special place: "Last time, Martin asked us supporters to write a message of encouragement for him, and he used this to motivate himself to continue working hard. By the way, Martin still remembers that I gave him written congratulations."

"That's good! Martin will always remember us!" Phoebe said, "It's more meaningful than us chipping in to buy Martin a watch or something. I'm sure Martin will like it!"

Everyone quickly reached a consensus.

…………

In the soundstage of Paramount Studios, the crew entered the rest period.

Annie walked quickly to the rest area, and she was in a very good mood when she saw Martin bring gifts again.

Laura said from behind: "Martin brings you gifts every time, I'm so envious."

Annie smiled happily. The envy of others was her satisfaction.

Recently, she specifically inquired through her agent, Maha, that Martin has indeed established a new film studio and is planning a comic film project called "Wanted".

The project also issued a director recruitment announcement to the directors' union, and the expected investment will not be less than 40 million US dollars.

After seeing the photos of the recruiting announcement, Anne is very sure that she has found true love.

Therefore, Anne also prepared a little gift: "Laura, where are the things?"

Laura handed Annie a pink gift box.

The two came to the rest area.

Martin moved the chair himself, and cleaned up the dust that didn't exist on it: "My princess, please sit down."

Annie didn't sit down, and deliberately moved the chair next to her to a place next to her: "You sit too."

The two sat down side by side, one affectionate and the other full of love, they were really a natural couple.

Annie took out the gift first, grabbed his hand, and stuffed it: "Every time you come over, you give me something. This is my gift in return, and you can't refuse it."

"Okay, I'll take it." Martin took it over and asked, "Can I open it?"

Annie nodded: "Of course."

Martin opened the box, and what he saw was a pearl bracelet, and he exclaimed, "It's so beautiful."

Annie specifically said: "The souvenirs I got from the crew of "Princess Diaries" are particularly commemorative."

"I like it so much." Martin took it out and put it on his wrist.

Having worked in many film and television crews and seeing countless props and accessories, he can easily tell that this is a string of ordinary artificial pearl bracelets, and its actual value should not compare to half a golden donut.

Martin couldn't put it down, and seemed to be completely overwhelmed by the gift from the goddess. He smiled like a licking dog, and gave Annie the gift box he brought along the way.

I went out for something yesterday, and I didn’t come back to code until after 6 pm. The second chapter has not been finished yet, so I will post the second chapter later. A 40 year old man with a lot of shit.
