American fame and fortune

In a parlor in the Brooklyn branch.

Accompanied by the crew's associate producer Damian and the crew's attorney, the NYPD made a routine victim statement to Martin, Bruce and Aniston.

Except for the slightly exaggerated part of Aniston, for the rest, the three of Martin only need to retell the original.

Even Aniston's part didn't leave the facts aside.

"Mr. Davis, Ms. Aniston." The police officer who took the notes shook hands with the two of them one by one: "Thank you very much for your cooperation. If there is any situation later, I will contact you in time."

Martin looked serious: "I have always heard that NYPD is known for its fairness and fairness. I believe you will handle this matter properly."

The police officer smiled: "Of course."

There are no ordinary people involved, but the situation is clear, an Australian star on one side, and an American hero and sweetheart on the other, just deal with it fairly.

Aniston has been hiding beside Martin, looking particularly helpless.

The influence of America's No. 1 Sweetheart is too great. Seeing her frightened appearance, the police officer felt that it was not too much to deal with the perpetrator.

Coming out of the reception room, Ward, the crew's lawyer, went to find out about the situation.

After returning, he whispered to Martin and Aniston: "NYPD found a prescription drug on Heath Ledger's body, a banned drug. The amount he possessed seriously exceeded the prescribed standard, and the preliminary urine test was positive. The blood test is due tomorrow, and according to New York regulations, you are not allowed to drive while taking those two drugs."

Martin didn't hesitate to take his hat off: "He almost hit me and Jen in the parking lot. Is he suspected of dangerous driving?"

"If you insist on holding him accountable, he's going to be in trouble," Ward said.

Aniston glanced at Martin and said softly, "I'll let him die!"

There are many people in Hollywood who are similar to Heath Ledger, but those people have no entanglements with her, and Heath Ledger is a real threat to her safety.

Martin's cell phone rang, and when it was connected, Thomas' voice came from the receiver: "I'm rushing to the airport, and I can arrive in New York in the early morning."

When a client encounters an issue, the agent rushes over immediately, not to mention anything else, Thomas is impeccable in his attitude.

Aniston also received a call from her agent, found Martin and said, "My agent told me not to face the media, wait until he comes over."

Martin thought about it, and asked one important thing: "Heath Ledger is also a client of CAA?"

Aniston didn't know, so she called and asked, and said, "Yes."

Martin said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

He needs time to think and plan, how to maximize the value of this emergency.

When something happens, it is natural to deal with it. If the other party is unlucky, what practical benefits can one get?

Just entering the hall, Martin found two women approaching.

One is Blanchett and the other is the famous actress Michelle Williams.

"Jane, Martin, this is Ledger's fiancée Michelle." Blanchett made a brief introduction: "A few words alone?"

Michelle bowed to the two, very sincerely: "What Heath did, I am very sorry, sorry."

Martin said directly: "Ma'am, if you have something to say, speak as soon as possible."

After understanding the situation, Michelle knew that it was very important to obtain the understanding of the two people. After bowing and apologizing again, he said: "Heath definitely didn't mean anything against you. He is a very good person. It was an accident in the afternoon, and it was those drugs. ..."

Both Martin and Aniston believe the afternoon was an accident, but that's not the point.

Michelle speaks very skillfully: "Just over two months ago, Heath just became a father, and I had a lovely daughter with him. After the daughter was born, he was under a lot of pressure, and he has not fully adapted to being a father. He is a father who is going to be separated from his daughter to go to work, and the pressure of the awards season is all on him, causing him to go to the doctor to take medicine to avoid mental problems."

Daughters, fathers, stress and mental illness, these are all easy to sympathize with.

But Martin didn't agree with this: "It turns out that the culprit is that the celebrity father is too stressed!" He glanced at Aniston: "Shall we go?"

"Let's go." Aniston took Martin's arm and walked out.

"Two!" Michelle was in a hurry, trying to catch up, but was stopped by Bruce.

Lao Bu was thinking in his heart: Stars who receive millions of dollars in salary and enjoy the benefits of the actor union are so stressed that they are addicted to drugs, and they openly use this as an excuse. People, are you going crazy?

Even a super bad guy like him scoffed at it.

Martin and his party got into the car separately.

Before the car reached the Brooklyn Bridge, Bruce received a call and said to Martin, "There's a car following us."

Aniston was a little nervous, after all, he had just met Heath Ledger.

Martin, who has seen too many bad things, said, "Find out who they are."

From the time the studio subdued Heath Ledger, he has been considering related follow-up matters.

Heath Ledger is not alone.

Australian gang Martin doesn't care, those people can't go too far because of Heath Ledger, he is still a member of the face gang and the bastard trio.

What Martin is considering is Heath Ledger's agency, the production and distribution company behind the starring project.

"Brokeback Mountain" is being released, and Heath Ledger is the leading actor. At the Golden Globe Awards that ended a few days ago, he was nominated for Best Actor.

In other words, CAA, producers and distributors may be working on Oscar nominations for him.

The car soon arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel in Manhattan and entered the hotel lobby. Bruce said to Martin again: "I figured it out, a reporter team from the News of the World may have heard the news and wanted to get first-hand news."

Martin said as he walked, "News of the World, old friend."

While in Washington, it was the News of the World team of reporters who sneaked into his room.

Going upstairs, Bruce first checked Martin's room carefully, making sure there was nothing unusual before letting Martin and Aniston in.

Aniston went to take a shower, and Martin looked through the address book and found the business card of Mockridge, editor-in-chief of "News of the World".

At the beginning, Martin negotiated with him about the manuscript and remuneration.

Similar to Heath Ledger's behavior, if Martin and Aniston were not involved, it would be nothing in Hollywood, and the crew and investors would not take it seriously.

Under the background of capital chasing profits, they will even take the initiative to help stars suppress it.

…………

The reception room of the Brooklyn branch was still busy at this time.

The crew of "I'm Not There" notified not only the producer, but also the publisher, Weinstein Films, which is headquartered in New York.

Shams, the producer of "Brokeback Mountain", happened to be doing public relations in New York, and a representative of another major producer, Paramount Pictures, rushed over immediately.

This film won many awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay at the just-concluded Golden Globe Awards.

Heath Ledger's agency is also CAA, and Kevin Howard, the manager in charge and a senior partner of CAA, is rushing over by flight.

Regardless of Brokeback Mountain or my absence, the interests of many companies in the circle are involved.

In this year's awards season, CAA has invested a lot of resources in Heath Ledger, and has already helped him get nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, and an Oscar nomination for Best Actor is also very likely.

Similar to Martin, a popular actor has all kinds of interests behind him.

Kevin Howard had a phone call with Harvey Weinstein: "Harvey, if Heath Ledger goes to jail at this time, we will all suffer huge losses. New York is your home court. Find a way as soon as possible."

Harvey came out of the bedroom and said: "Focus Pictures and Paramount Pictures have invested a lot in Brokeback Mountain, and they are about to pay off. They will not allow this kind of thing to happen. You call them and ask them to work with you." Warner Bros. communication, me contacting Warner Bros., just made things worse."

Kevin said: "I have communicated with these two companies and reached an agreement that I can go to New York early tomorrow morning."

Harvey thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow we will meet each other together."

"I'm Not There" filmed a lot of scenes in Minnesota before it was transferred to New York. At this time, replacing Heath Ledger was too much to lose.

…………

Outside the Brooklyn studio, a very ordinary car was parked.

The people in the car are waiting for news.

Azar, who was on the co-pilot, glanced at the work card of "News of the World", put it away again, and asked his companion who had just finished calling, "Any news from NYPD?"

Lukaku shook his head: "It can only be confirmed that today is approaching the end of get off work time. There was a conflict in the Brooklyn studio involving many Hollywood stars including Martin, Aniston, Bale, Blanchett and Heath Ledger. , the specific content is temporarily unavailable.”

Hazard looked at the studio area through the car window: "There are so many bad things around Martin Davis, he must know it."

Lukaku reminded: "Don't be impulsive, think about the weird Washington spy incident!"

Although Hazard doesn't know what happened in Washington, there are some internal rumors, and the above has specifically sent a message, don't use those bad methods to provoke Martin Davis.

Just thinking about this, a man wearing a common dark overcoat and an ordinary cotton cap walked past the car, and a large envelope under his arm fell with a clatter.

Hearing the voice, Azar looked back, and the envelope was dropped by the rear door. He waved: "Hey, buddy, you dropped something."

The man didn't stop at all, walked to the front intersection and turned into a laneway.

Realizing something, Azar immediately opened the door and got out of the car, picked up the envelope and came back to open it. Inside was common A4 printing paper with words densely printed on it.

There are also several photos, all of which are of one person.

Heath Ledger was handcuffed by the NYPD and put into a police car.
