American fame and fortune

It was getting dark, and a bonfire was lit on the beach. After a ridiculous afternoon, Martin and others let the models play by themselves, and Danny Boyle, who joined after dinner, had a drink and chat together.

Leonardo made an introduction specifically for Martin and Boyle.

Everyone else knew that the two of them had something to discuss, so they deliberately stayed a little away.

"The first time I heard about you is because the mountains have eyes." Boyle picked up the beer bottle, touched Martin, and said: "At that time, I saw you with a bat and a dog, and you beat the Americans to death. The Highway Killer, I feel very refreshed."

He took a sip of beer: "He's more handsome than McGregor in Trainspotting."

Martin laughed. "I'm not interested in those things."

But Boyle said: "The next movie, you can talk about it forever, the male lead becomes stronger after taking the smart drug."

Martin spoke very simply: "So, I need a suitable director who can show the powerful process of turning the hero from a sand sculpture into a smart person, that is, what refreshing feeling it can bring to the audience. "

Boyle is not a traditional British director, but he has a lot of ideas: "Actually, the best way is to let the audience enter the first perspective of the male protagonist. The male protagonist becomes stronger and enjoys and obtains everything that is slightly equivalent to what they obtain. Everyone wants to get something for nothing, and climb to the top of society without hard work, and the protagonist of this novel just fits the bill.”

These words coincided with the ideas of Martin and Bradt, and Martin initially felt that Boyle might be suitable.

If the ideas do not agree, there is no need to talk about the rest.

For example, what Martin wants to shoot is a commercial film, but the director wants to make an art film with in-depth and philosophical thinking. That will only hurt each other, and there is no need for cooperation at all.

Martin asked directly: "Danny, you have contacted my agent Thomas, and you must have some opinions and opinions on the adaptation?"

Boyle also knows the importance of consistency of ideas, saying: "This is a commercial adaptation. Since it is a commercial film, we must first determine who the main audience is? These people want to watch this movie, or watch this movie. What do you expect from the movie?"

Martin nodded slightly, this is a pragmatic director.

Boyle added: "Smart medicine is not an end, but a means to become stronger. I personally think that what ordinary audiences want to see most should be the wonderful performance of the protagonist after he becomes stronger. The resulting complex chain reaction, What he got through the smart drug, what he encountered, how to solve it, etc., these are the key points."

Martin held up the beer bottle: "Our ideas are very close."

Boyle laughed. "Looks like I passed the interview?"

Martin nodded: "Whenever you have time, go to Davis Studio in Warner Studios, you, me, producer Louise Meyer, screenwriter Bradt and action director Chad, We need to talk together."

This is a necessary procedure. There are not only the two key positions of director and leading actor in a crew, Boyle also needs more recognition.

Boyle thought for a while and said, "In three days, I need to read the novel again when I go back, and sort out my thoughts systematically by the way, and then go to your side."

Martin replied: "No problem, you call me before you go."

Boyle drinks with Martin: "Hopefully we can work together."

Martin took a sip of his beer: "I hope so."

In the past two days, Martin has watched "Trainspotting", "The Beach" and "28 Days Later". Danny Boyle is undoubtedly a capable director, and his film style is also popular and commercial.

Leonardo came over and asked, "Are you done talking?"

Martin shrugged: "It's over."

"Very good!" Leonardo said loudly: "Let's kick off the carnival that belongs to the night!"

Martin disdainfully said: "Your surprise party is just like in the afternoon? No surprises, you are faster than me, and you are quite frightened."

Leonardo was very excited: "Next is my well-prepared water gun competition."

Nicholson sneered: "What else do you have besides a water gun?"

"Extraordinary water gun competition!" Leonardo shouted into the distance: "Beauties, are you ready? Come here!"

A large group of beauties ran over laughing and laughing, and a dozen of them had targets specially painted on them, and the center of the target was in a very special position.

Since he called out to hold a water gun party, Leonardo was of course prepared. Although Martin led a group of models to beat him violently in the afternoon, he used a special water gun competition in the evening to save some face.

The partygoers were very cheerful, and it took most of the night to calm down.

That is to say, by the sea in Malibu, instead of Beverly Hills or Sherman Oaks, neighbors have already called the police.

The next morning, the party company sent a car to pick up the models they had hired to leave.

Seeing Martin sitting and drinking water, Leonardo quickly gave Nicholson a wink.

Nicholson went over and said, "Let's go, let's go to the city for lunch."

Martin got up and followed the two out of the villa.

The beauties in front also wanted to leave when they saw the three of them, and they turned their heads frequently to say hello.

Nicholson pointed to the outside of the villa: "My car is over there, get in my car and let's go together."

Leonardo seemed very concerned, and asked specifically: "Danny Boyle left in Toby's car early in the morning, and you made an agreement with him."

Martin followed Nicholson, and said as he walked: "We have basically reached an agreement on some things in terms of concept, and the rest of the film salary and treatment, etc., the crew will have a special person to discuss with him."

Leonardo said: "He's not well paid."

Nicholson continued: "Danny Boyle is not a big director either."

The three of them talked, walked through the front hall of the villa, followed the group of beautiful young ladies, and walked out the main entrance together.

As soon as he went out, Martin heard the sound of the camera shutter. He glanced casually and saw at least three paparazzi taking pictures.

Shooting from their point of view, it's perfectly possible to capture him, Leonardo, Nicholson and the group of women.

Leonardo and Nicholson didn't take it seriously, and the latter gave the paparazzi the middle finger.

In exchange, it is naturally more crazy shooting.

Without changing his face, Martin got into Nicholson's long Lincoln.

The driver started the Lincoln after the commercial vehicles in which the models were riding left one after another.

Leonardo and Nicholson acted as if nothing had happened, just talking nonsense to themselves.

Martin pointed at the two bastards next to each other, and directly concluded: "The paparazzi are called by you, right?"

How could Leonardo admit it? He shook his head again and again: "Are you kidding, what are we calling the paparazzi for? Telling people that we had a rave party last night?"

Nicholson quickly changed his seat, sat down across from Martin, pointed to Martin and said, "You have persecution paranoia, and there are no good people in your eyes. You always think of Leo and me in the worst possible way." .”

Martin couldn't help sneering: "Are you good people? Ha, then there must be no bad people in the world."

Leonardo spread his hands and said, "Why are we doing this? Expose with you? Let the lace news fly all over the sky? What good does this do for me and Jack?"

This statement sounds very reasonable at first glance, after all, Leonardo and Nicholson were also photographed by the paparazzi.

But Martin's reaction was not so fast, and his mind immediately turned around: "You two are single dogs. If you are photographed, you will be photographed. At most, you can add another one to your many laces!"

Leonardo couldn't help laughing: "You really know how to make random associations."

Nicholson, the old pervert, said: "Don't pay attention to him, Martin did too much work last night, and taking time off below has caused brain problems."

He deliberately asked Martin: "Do you need to go to the hospital? I have a private doctor here. He can look at the lower head and the upper head for you."

Martin raised both hands and sent out two middle fingers: "You think I'm afraid of this? It's a joke, you know nothing about me."

Before the fan effect is over, what is this lace news.

Besides, he can tell the truth.

Leonardo and Nicholson looked at each other, thinking that it really doesn't work? Martin the jerk betrayed the trio and they just wanted to put Martin back on track.

What kind of fixed girlfriend is looking for, the wave is the right way.

Martin stopped talking, and his mind turned, he must find a chance to make these two bastards look good.

When they came to the restaurant, Leonardo and Nicholson entered the restaurant first.

Martin used the excuse of a temporary phone call, waited for Bruce to come over, and asked, "Is the essential oil still in stock?"

Bruce nodded: "There are some at home."

"I'm going to eat." Martin pointed to the restaurant: "You are free to move."

He was going to get some balm, find a suitable opportunity, and give it to Leonardo and Nicholson.

The two realized that it didn't matter, so they talked about the sharp insect repellent given to them.

If the two are careless, it must be very exciting if it is used in some aspects according to what he said.

Martin believes that to deal with these two perverts, it is necessary to use perverted means.

Not long after lunch, on his way back to the Coty community, Martin received a call from Black from New York as expected.

She asked: "I read the news on the Internet, did you go to Leonardo's party last night?"

"Yeah, I went to Leo's party, and I had a water gun party." Martin said the truth: "A large group of people divided into two factions, like playing real CS, attacking each other on the beach, I brought The team won big and beat Leonardo to pieces."

He first told some facts, and then turned to work: "The main reason is that Leo invited the British director Danny Boyle. I had a preliminary contact with him about the new project at the party. The production concept is not much different. As long as Not surprisingly, Danny Boyle is the director of the new project."

When Blake responded, Martin asked her about the work there, and the call ended smoothly.

Two days later, Danny Boyle approached Martin, and after interviews with Louise and others in the Davis studio, the "Never Ending" project officially confirmed him as the director.
