American fame and fortune

Chapter 165 Retribution is Coming

On Saturday morning, huge posters were hung in front of the hotel in Burbank.

On the poster, Martin was covered in blood, holding the baby tightly in one hand, and holding a bat covered in flesh and bones in the other, with a scarred German Shepherd next to him.

A large number of entertainment reporters kept taking pictures of the posters.

A short red carpet was laid out at the entrance, and movie fans and media representatives entered the venue with invitation letters.

Semi-wild paparazzi like Jody didn't get tickets.

More and more movie fans arrived, and many of them were unwilling to enter directly, but wanted to stand on both sides of the red carpet, holding posters of Martin Davis in their hands.

Jody has worked hard in Los Angeles for two years, and has seen many such examples. A successful movie has completely changed the fate of the leading actor.

Suddenly, a strange girl walked by.

He is tall and his skin is so white that it glistens.

"You're Jody?" she asked.

Jody puts down the camera: "I am."

Jessica took out an invitation letter: "Old Bu asked me to give it to you, don't forget the promise he made with you."

Next, Jody saw that it was an invitation to enter today's event, and nodded immediately: "Tell him, I always remember."

Jessica turned around and mixed into the crowd of fans, assisting the crew and urging the fans to enter.

At half past ten, Martin's car stopped in front of the hotel on time. After he got out of the car, he turned around and took Anne Hathaway from the car.

The latter was wearing a black dress, and under the full attire, the beauty was in a mess.

When Anne put her arm around Martin's, all the reporters' and paparazzi's cameras flicked on and off.

Martin took Annie to take a group photo in front of the movie poster, and soon entered the hotel banquet hall.

As soon as they entered, the banquet hall burst into extremely warm applause.

Hundreds of fans picked up their mobile phones to take pictures.

The voices calling for Martin came one after another.

As fan representatives, Rachel and Phoebe greeted Martin with a gift.

Martin let go of Annie and hugged them one by one, saying their names: "Good morning, Rachel, and Phoebe."

The latter was ecstatic, his hands trembling with excitement: "Martin, you remember me! You remember me..."

Martin smiled and said, "Of course, when the Wax Museum was released, I signed your autograph."

Phoebe hurriedly urged: "Rachel, quickly, give Martin our hearts."

Rachel took a thick autograph book from a fan nearby and handed it to Martin.

Martin next asked, "What is this?"

Rachel helped him open it, thinking that Martin asked them to sign and write greetings when they met for the first time, and felt that this time he would be able to surprise Martin, and said: "It's all written by us die-hard supporters, I encourage you to take pictures. Better work."

With Martin's acting skills, the smile will only become brighter.

Then, he carefully read the congratulations.

"There are tens of millions of stars in Hollywood, but I love you the most!" Saoirse signed it.

The next one was written by Phoebe: "I hope you will be famous soon, as long as you want, I will always be there."

Phoebe said, "Martin, I wrote it, I wrote it!"

Someone beside him pointed to the autograph book and shouted: "I am John, and I wrote it on the second page."

"I'm Ronan, last page, Martin, I'll always support you!"

Martin flipped through them quickly, and didn't have time to count them, but there were always hundreds.

Seeing the excitement of the die-hard supporters, the autograph book in Martin's hand was so heavy that he couldn't lift it.

This is not an autograph book, this is clearly a huge pit!

I still dug it myself, jumped into it by myself, and shoveled soil to bury my own hole.

Martin's face was full of excitement, emotion, and enthusiasm, and he almost choked up when he spoke: "Thank you, thank you everyone for your support! I will definitely present the best work to repay your support!"

He was crying in his heart, how do you remember this?

At this time, Rachel said again: "Originally, we wanted to raise money to buy you a souvenir, but later we all felt that this was more commemorative. We are really very lucky to grow up with you."

"It's my honor." Martin turned around, bowed slightly thinking of the fans around him, and said loudly at the same time: "It is the greatest luck in my life to have you by my side."

Martin said in his heart that this kind of gift is fine once, and next time he will just give him a souvenir. He is a layman.

Suddenly, Anne said: "Martin, I really envy you, your supporters are so kind to you."

Martin didn't want to answer the conversation. Is this the retribution for sending Anne's artwork?

The atmosphere in the banquet hall reached a climax from the very beginning.

Daniel, the deputy director of publicity and distribution department of Warner Bros., looked at these and thought about how much role Martin could play in publicity and marketing.

Craven said at this time: "Martin can be used as a major publicity point. He is very popular. The most important thing is that he is very smart and knows how to cater to the market and audience."

Daniel nodded slowly: "The conventional publicity method uses Martin as the entry point and the main promotion point."

For more than half a year, Craven and Martin have held many parties together, and went to various night shows, so it can be said that they have really played together.

One of them directs one leading actor, and there is no conflict of interest. Craven is also willing to say a few good words for Martin: "You have seen the trial version, and the leading actor Martin, whether it is acting or acting, is above the standard. I can assure you that this film will surpass the Museum of Horror Wax Museum."

As long as it is profitable, the distribution company doesn't care who it is promoting. Daniel saw the possibility of the success of "The Mountain Has Eyes", and said without hesitation: "After the New Year, I will mobilize media resources."

The movie fans were still having a carnival, and Martin accompanied them to take a group photo and sign autographs, chatted a few more words, and temporarily escaped.

There are too many people, it is impossible to play like Zombie Gigolo anymore.

Martin took Anne to the place where the main cast and crew gathered, and formally introduced Anne to Daniel, Ajia, Zomi and Craven.

Anne is very happy to be able to broaden her network and jump out of the Disney circle. When chatting with these people, she always holds Martin's arm tightly, and she looks like Martin's real girlfriend.

Daniel asked about Martin's new film: "I heard that you rented a studio at the studio and started preparing."

Martin told the truth: "I just registered the studio, hired Bradt, the screenwriter of Fast and Furious 2 and The Devil's Thief, and started to adapt the script. Louise said that the preparation will take until next year."

Because Louise is a veteran, Daniel attaches great importance to it: "Louis has already sent an invitation to Warner Brothers, and the studio will participate in the platter and release..."

Martin said: "Louise and I have discussed that the distribution will continue to cooperate with Warner Bros."

"Okay." Daniel is actually not in a hurry. We will wait until "The Mountain Has Eyes" is released. This film is successful, and we will continue to cooperate. If it is not successful, Warner Bros. has other options.

"A $40 million budget?" Craven asked.

These Martins are all telling the truth: "Maybe not enough, it depends on the platter."

Annie stood aside, listening to Martin talking about tens of millions of dollars of investment with Warner Bros. executives and Hollywood godfathers, feeling anxious in her heart.

"What about the confession? Hurry up and confess!" She kept muttering in her heart, "I agreed with a little restraint."

Annie thought that Martin would choose today's special occasion to confess his love to her in public.

However, there was no confession, and the event officially started. On the curtain in the central hall of the banquet hall, a 1 minute and 15 second preview of Geshan Youyan was shown.

Unlike the official movie trailer, this segment is almost entirely Martin's solo show.

Walking alone in the desert, his wife, parents-in-law and others were killed, and the child was snatched away. One person, one stick and one dog went to rescue the baby and completed revenge.

Compared with Wes Craven's past horror films, more action elements have been added.

Accompanied by the bone shattering sound of the actor starring Martin smashing the head of the perverted deformity with a bat, cheers erupted in the banquet hall.

After all, it is an advertisement clip, and it will be played soon.

Some fans shouted loudly: "Would you like to play it again?"

The crew complied with their request and played it again.

Afterwards, media reporters interviewed Martin, Ajia, Craven and representatives of fans.

Martin interacted with fans and media reporters.

Compared with most celebrities, Martin can put down his body, lower his face, understand language is an art, and firmly control the rhythm of the entire event.

Stars need style, but it's too early for Martin to talk about style now, and it's not too late to talk about style when he reaches the quasi-giant level.

At the end of the event, there is a luncheon, free food and drink, who doesn't like it?

Towards the end, Martin and Annie were interviewed together.

A reporter asked: "Martin, are you and Anne together?"

"We are best friends. Martin often comes to visit the class, and every time he brings me surprises." Annie said with a hint of urging: "We will get to know each other and move forward together."

Martin is a responsible and good person, telling the truth: "Anne is my most important friend and my princess. To me, she is the bright moonlight in the dark night."

Originally, Annie wanted to wait until "The Mountain Has Eyes" was released to see the situation, but what she saw and heard recently made it impossible for her to wait until then.

Seeing that Martin hadn't confessed his plan, she was somewhat annoyed.

But she told herself to be reserved, and she couldn't be the first to speak.

After the lunch meeting, the event officially ended, and every movie fan, media reporter, and crew present presented a gift.

After chatting with Craven and others, Martin also took Annie away.

As soon as he got into the car at the side door of the hotel, he received a call from Vincent from Atlanta.

Vincent was telling him about the initial investment: "Sophia and I are planning to invest 6 million US dollars in advance."

Martin specifically said: "The first investment of 6 million US dollars? Vincent, this is a wise decision."

"Listen to me." Vincent roughly talked about the new plan recently discussed with Sophia: "This is the first payment. The amount of investment in the future depends on the income of the "Mountains Have Eyes" project. I can guarantee one thing. The funds invested in the later period will not be less than the benefits of me and Sophia's eye-catching in Geshan."

Martin must first have confidence: "You are ready to invest more than 30 million US dollars."

Annie couldn't hear what was on the phone, but she could judge from Martin's words, and she couldn't help asking: "An investor invested 30 million US dollars?"

Martin nodded, pretending to be deep: "They trust me, and I'm under a lot of pressure."

Annie didn't say any more, but fell into deep thought.

The content is nothing more than the future and money.
