American fame and fortune

In the new week, Martin followed the main creator of the film crew to participate in a film forum event in Los Angeles, continuing to promote the film.

He met a Los Angeles Film Critics Association critic at the event, Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times.

The two found a quiet place to chat alone.

"I've seen your new film, and the characters are too superficial." Kenneth Turan was very optimistic about Martin, a newcomer actor, but he was very disappointed by the new roles in the new film, and directly pointed out: "This role can only be handsome and cool. Spirituality."

This is one of the top critics in Los Angeles, so Martin was very humble and taught: "I know, I realized these problems during the shooting."

Kenneth Turan was quite satisfied to see that he could listen to it, and reminded: "In your last role, your performance was explosive, and you can retract it freely, which is very rare."

As a critic, he felt the need to remind a talented actor to take the right path: "Young actors should calm down and polish their acting skills on characters and movies with depth..."

Martin said very seriously: "This is what I thought too, so I tried my best to win the second male lead in the new film directed by Scorsese. It is a very complicated character, a double-faced man."

Kenneth Turan couldn't help nodding as he remembered the relevant news he had read.

Martin also wanted support from the critics, explaining specifically: "I was born in the slums, the financial situation is very poor, and the salary of the Wax Museum is all invested in training to improve myself. I did the accent at Paramount Pictures. class, the price is so high that it makes me vomit blood."

He was very helpless: "In order to have a better development, I can only continue to invest in myself. At that time, even the rent was almost a problem. I can only solve the economic crisis first. If I don't even have a foothold, I can't concentrate on investing in performing."

Kenneth Turan understands that artists also have to make a living, but he quite agrees with Martin's words: "It is really difficult for young people to start their careers, and I can understand it."

Martin automatically switched to the specially trained accent: "In order to prepare for the role of director Scorsese, I specially practiced the Boston accent, and went to BPD to experience life on the spot for more than 20 days..."

Kenneth Turan could tell that Martin was indeed using a standard Boston accent, and he couldn't help but encourage him: "I'm very much looking forward to your further improvement in character creation."

"I'm going to give 200 percent," Martin said.

When he walked away, Martin breathed a sigh of relief. It was somewhat tiring to play such an artistically ambitious character.

Unlike perverts, two-faced people, and scumbags and the like, you can come at your fingertips.

Bruce, who was following behind, came over at this moment and said in a low voice, "Your acting skills have improved."

Martin said: "I still don't have a high status, and I need some critics to cheer behind me." He glanced at Kenneth Turan who was walking away: "Go and find out about the interests and hobbies of the most famous critics in Los Angeles. , Kenneth Turan, Todd McCarthy for The Hollywood Reporter, Courtney Howard for Variety."

Bruce followed Martin in Hollywood for a year and a half, fully understood the operation of this circle, and understood Martin's intentions: "To prepare for the role in Scorsese's film?"

Martin is thick-skinned enough: "If the critics don't blow it up, how can others understand my hard work and excellence?"

After the event was over, the two went out.

Bruce asked intentionally, "What if they like men?"

Martin patted him on the shoulder again: "I have Bruce, who dares to fight?"

Bruce said, "You're completely out of character."

After getting in the car, Martin looked at the time: "Look for a place to have lunch, I have an important appointment in the afternoon."

He picked up a newspaper, saw the entertainment department, and couldn't help saying, "Oh, it's started."

Just this week, a number of media also revealed that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have encountered a relationship crisis, and the former has moved out of their love nest in Beverly Hills.

The contradiction between the two is that Aniston suffered a miscarriage last year.

It's roughly how Pete attaches importance to family and loves children, and Aniston insists on abortion despite Pete's opposition.

The shit bowl was all on Aniston's head.

Bruce couldn't see it: "You are bullying honest people."

Martin said frankly: "If the role can be won purely by acting skills, and the quality of the film alone can be successful, I will definitely not do bad things. I also want to be a good person, but the general environment of Hollywood does not allow it."

"You're right!" Bruce joined in after hearing too many shameless remarks from the old man: "So, it's not us who are rotten, but this world."

Martin snapped his fingers: "Old Bu, your ideological consciousness has finally improved."

In the afternoon, in a coffee shop near the LAPD headquarters, Martin met McLean, the LAPD's public relations officer.

The latter shook hands with him, and first sent congratulations: "Congratulations on another big hit movie."

Martin said with a smile: "Without you helping me get the golden key, I would not have such good results. I will never forget the help LAPD gave me."

The person spoke nicely, and McClain also smiled: "If you encounter trouble in Los Angeles, call me anytime."

"I won't be polite to you." Martin knew very well that this kind of favor cannot be used casually, but must be used at critical times.

McLean turned to the topic: "I have a meeting with you today. There are mainly a few situations. Because you are involved, I need to tell you something."

Martin asked, "Something about Burbank High?"

"Yes, there is a direct relationship." McLean introduced the specific situation: "One of the captured two gunmen was seriously injured and died after many days of treatment. The news will be published in the newspaper after the next LAPD routine press conference."

Martin didn't have a lot of psychological burden, let alone blame the Virgin. At that time, he would be the one who fell down and asked, "Will I be in trouble?"

McLean said: "There will be no legal aspect, but you have to pay attention to the Russians. When you were in Atlanta, the LAPD launched a special operation against the Russians and basically wiped out their influence."

He smiled: "It will be very difficult for the Russian gangsters to survive in Los Angeles in the next few years. They have no guts to retaliate against you. The immediate family members of those three people have all been arrested, and it will be difficult to come out within fifteen years."

Martin heard the key from his words: "Is the problem outside of Los Angeles?"

"Those Russians living in the United States are not stupid, and they should not mess around. You are not an ordinary person, and they cannot afford the consequences. They also have family and friends, and the government does not allow them to mess around."

McLean highlighted a situation: "The gunman who died recently was Andrei, who was headshot by your Coke. His grandfather was also involved in criminal organizations in Russia. LAPD is powerless, and it is not normal there. Pressure can make them cooperate and hand over people.”

Martin understood: "That is to say, Russians from overseas may be against me?"

"It's just possible that the mighty America will keep them out of customs," McClain said.

Martin listened to such words and said, "I will pay more attention."

McLean specifically warned: "In the future, you'd better not go to Russia, or even Eastern Europe."

Martin nodded: "I won't make fun of my own safety." He specifically thanked: "Thank you, Mike."

McClain said: "You are a hero in Los Angeles, and we will never allow anyone to be against you."

If there are really Russians going against Martin on LAPD territory, what is the difference from directly slapping LAPD in the face? He added: "LAPD can only have jurisdiction over downtown Los Angeles, and we have notified the FBI of the situation."

Martin attached great importance to it and asked, "I want to apply for a concealed gun license, is it easy?"

McLean said: "In your situation, it is not a big problem to apply. I will send you a document later, and you will give it to me after you fill it out."

Martin replied, "No problem."

At this time, McLean said: "My side is planning to shoot an official promotional video for LAPD, which has not yet been decided..."

Martin was very kind: "Call me if you need it."

The atmosphere of this meeting was more harmonious, and the two parties left separately.

After getting into the car, Bruce reminded Martin: "There are many lunatics in the Russian gang, so we should pay attention."

Martin said directly: "Say hello to Thomas, if there are any activities involving going to Eastern Europe and Russia in the future, all of them will be rejected."

He sought Bruce's opinion: "Do you want to hire some bodyguards?"

Bruce thought about it for a while, and said: "Two people are fine. On the one hand, the cost is higher. On the other hand, if there is a real situation, they will not rush to help you block the gun. They can only follow around as an early warning."

Martin understands: "Bodyguards are a job, and only if you have a life can you live."

Movies are not reality. How can a person with a salary of thousands of dollars a month risk his life.

Bruce contacted WMA. There are security companies in Hollywood that specialize in providing services for celebrities. In other respects, they may be close, because the clients they serve are all celebrities, and they are especially good at spotting stalkers.

Before getting off work that day, WMA forwarded the news that the Washington Civilian Service Award Committee formally submitted the nomination for the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the White House, and it was approved by the current President Xiaobu.

Martin's name was among them.

The honor ceremony will be held at the White House on Independence Day.

In addition, the brokerage company also asked Martin if he would participate in this year's Saturn Awards Ceremony.

Martin was nominated for Best Actor.

It's impossible to win this award, since Jim Carrey, Tom Cruise, Will Smith and Johnny Depp were also nominated.

Martin is self-aware. After being nominated this time, he didn't do anything at all. The last time he went out to wash his face with Wes Craven, he didn't mention it at all.

Martin will not be at the ceremony due to a timing conflict with his filming in Atlanta.

Today's third change, asking for a monthly pass!
