American fame and fortune

In the press hall of the Warner Building, many reporters gathered together, and the main creators of the crew of "The Dark Knight" were present, witnessing the formal signing of the crew and the two leading actors, Martin and Christian Bale.

Martin became that sunny and handsome young actor again. After the ceremonial signing, he and Bell took a group photo with director Nolan.

Under the flashing lights, the two smiled brightly and had a harmonious atmosphere.

When it came to the questioning session, a reporter suddenly asked: "Martin, Chris, there are rumors in Hollywood, and you have sharp conflicts?"

Martin immediately retorted: "How is it possible? Chris and I admire each other and we became friends last year."

Bell saw the producers of the crew sitting below, and turned to look at Martin, who was even more shameless than Martin: "Martin's role in this role came from my recommendation at first."

Martin looked at Bell, and his smile became brighter and brighter, so bright that it was a little perverted.

Bell was calm and calm, and reached out to fist bump Martin.

In front of countless cameras, the fists of the two collided.

It's like a brother's best friend.

Bell strongly recommended Heath Ledger to Nolan, and also expressed his dislike for Martin. Nolan knew that the two were at odds.

But he doesn't care, Batman and the Joker are supposed to be sworn enemies.

From the point of view that is beneficial to the work, there is no problem with the hostility between the two extending from the film to life.

Nolan is also a director who knows how to market. In the past few days, he has discussed with his wife, Emma Thomas, whether they can make a fuss about the relationship between Martin and Bell when the film is promoted and marketed.

There is even a blueprint. For example, Martin and Bell were originally good friends, but Martin took the role of the clown too deeply. The relationship between the clown and Bruce Wayne affected the relationship between the two protagonists in reality, causing the two to turn against each other.

At the end of the press conference, Martin and Bell left the press room hand in hand and entered the back lounge.

Bell said with a smile: "I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to work so closely together."

Martin laughed: "The film was filmed in Atlanta, which is my hometown. When I arrive in Atlanta, I will show you around the beautiful scenery of Zuozhou."

Only then did Bell remember that the bastard Martin Davis was from Atlanta.

He has never been afraid of challenges: "When the time comes, I will need your help to lead the way."

Martin had an idea that popped up involuntarily, Bruce had mentioned it.

After filming "Wanted", Jolie traveled to the Middle East and Africa, on the way to Our Lady.

At that time, Bruce made a suggestion that if Julie had an accident there, the commercial prospects of "Wanted Warrant" would be great.

Where's Batman Ga in Atlanta?

Seeing Bell's disappearing figure, Martin quickly shook his head. Recently, he had more and more crazy thoughts.

Bruce came over at this moment and asked, "An idea?"

Martin shook his head and sighed: "Some bad ideas, it's all your fault, don't be a person!"

Bruce was inexplicable, thinking what did I do?

"Fortunately, I can hold you, otherwise you would be in danger." Martin greeted Nolan and Emma-Thomas, "Chris, Emma."

Nolan said, "Talk for a few words."

Martin nodded slightly, left the crowded lounge, and entered a reception room next to him.

Nolan slammed the door shut.

Martin was startled suddenly, his eyes quickly drifted past Emma Thomas, and he suddenly thought of Kate and Sam, thinking that he couldn't?

"I know that you and Bell have some conflicts." Nolan said directly: "But don't affect your work."

"You can rest easy on that," Martin said.

Emma Thomas asked: "I heard that you always have some way of promoting and marketing?"

Martin smiled: "I just have an idea."

"Chris has some ideas on publicity and marketing, and I want to discuss them with you." Emma roughly said.

Martin has no objection to this, but in terms of implementation, the crew needs to discuss it with Thomas in detail.

The two sides chatted for a while, and left separately.

Martin looked more at Nolan.

The British director has outstanding skills in filming and production, but he is also a master in publicity and marketing. He once used the open ending of "Inception" to keep breaking the news and hyping it up.

Much like Tom Cruise is to Nicole Kidman.

Whenever it comes to publicity, I always pull it out and shake it three times.

In the words of Martin's previous life, Nolan can be regarded as the beginning of the circle of director fans.

After 2015, if someone says that Nolan's film is not good-looking, he will immediately be besieged wildly on the Internet.

Martin went out, joined Thomas and Bruce, and walked out of the back door of the Warner Building together.

A few days ago, Thomas negotiated a share of the portraits around the clown, and Martin could get 20% of the gross profit of related products.

Behind it is the studio area.

Lily is waiting for them here.

The girl was in high spirits, and when she saw Martin, she ran over immediately, with a relaxed expression on her face: "Next year, I won't have to pay Elena's tuition."

"Elena can breathe a sigh of relief, too," Martin said.

"Yeah, she can really relax." Lily lowered her voice: "I can relax too, Elena can't keep raising her fist..."

Martin laughed a bit strangely: "Do you think you can escape my sister's iron fist love without taking Elena's tuition?"

Lily's originally relaxed face instantly collapsed.

Obviously, no.

Martin hit everyone, and asked: "Signed an agreement with the crew?"

Lily cheered up a little: "The crew invested 200,000 US dollars, bought out the copyright and several large packages of carvings I made, and prepared to sell them as high-end handmade customized peripherals. In addition, they hired me to work on the crew and continue to design and produce For the related clown and Batman sculptures, in addition to the basic salary, I still have a 3% profit share.”

"Do it well." Martin finally stopped offending others: "This film is selling well, and you can earn enough for your tuition and living expenses during the entire university."

Lily stretched out her hand, grabbed the corner of Martin's clothes and shook it: "Thank you."

But Martin raised his fist, shook it in front of Lily, and reminded: "Don't let others bully you, but don't mess around."

Lily muttered, "Am I that kind of person?"

"You think I haven't heard the rumors about the crew?" Martin glanced at her: "I heard last week that you used a carving knife to stab a full-scale dummy dozens of times in front of a group of people. Hole."

Lily defended: "This is to put an end to bullying incidents in advance, which is good for me and them." She looked for allies: "Old Bu, am I right?"

Bruce felt that this was in the same line, and praised: "Well done."

When they came to the Dark Knight studio, Lily pointed to the door: "I'm going back to work."

Martin nodded, watched her run away happily, and said to Bruce: "Give her the car that Cadillac sent, and give her the keys to the house."

Bruce asked, "Why didn't you say it yourself?"

Martin expressed his true feelings: "I may be infected by Elena. I saw Lily getting carried away with joy, so I wanted to give her a caring fist."

Bruce took out the things he had prepared a long time ago and went to the Dark Knight studio.

Martin called Thomas, went into a nearby soda shop, and called out to the counter, "Mia, same old."

Mia responded with a smile: "Okay, sit down and wait."

Sitting by the glass curtain wall, Martin said to Thomas: "I told you everything I discussed with Nicholson yesterday. In the next stage, you should make a complete plan. You don't need to leave any traces, just know what you have in mind. Clinic , hospitals, hotels, and related nurses, find reliable candidates as soon as possible.”

"Do you really want to do that?" Thomas asked.

Martin said: "I first played a character who is extremely crazy, and then I have to play a character from an elderly person to a baby. It is normal to have problems. Don't underestimate the public's sympathy and curiosity..."

Thomas pointed to the Dark Knight studio: "Aren't you saying hello to the crew?"

"No." Martin said, "Whether Nolan or Warner Bros. have a keen sense of smell in this regard, they will never let go of the opportunity of publicity and hype."

"It's not easy being a star," Thomas said.

Martin couldn't help laughing, laughing almost crazy: "How hard is it to be like me in Atlanta? How hard is it to be an ordinary person working under the scorching sun?"

Thomas couldn't help but think of himself. Although his forehead was bald, the current difficulties were many times better than those suffering at the bottom of the company.

Mia brought over a cold drink at this time.

"Thank you." Martin saw the ring on her finger and said, "Congratulations."

Mia said with a smile: "I accepted Sebastian's pursuit and became boyfriend and girlfriend with him."

Martin said: "Sebastian is a lucky boy, and he even caught up with Warner Studio's Cold Drink Princess."

Mia smiled sweetly and left immediately.

She is a smart girl. There are not 200 part-time actresses in the studio, but there are more than 100.

Among so many people, why can she talk to Martin?

For one thing, Martin was a frequent visitor to the store when he was a starlet.

On the other hand, she never asked for a favor in the slightest, other than a normal greeting.

It's not that Mia has no ideas, on the contrary, she thinks a lot. At the most critical moment in her career, if she can ask Martin to help her with a word, it may be a world-shaking change.

She can see clearly that this kind of thing can only happen once, and there can be no second time.

After chatting with Thomas and drinking a cold drink, Martin called Nicholson and said, "Jack, are you ready?"

Nicholson said: "Is it finally my turn to play such a fun thing?"

Martin said: "Fun things I forget and no one can forget you."

On the other side, Nicholson put down his cell phone, picked up the phone next to him, and dialed the number of a familiar reporter: "Rick, come to me, I want to break the news, I want to slander people!"

The next morning, the "Hollywood Reporter" published Nicholson's angry interview with Martin and the Dark Knight crew.

"As the previous clown actor, he was still very successful. When Warner Bros. chose a new actor for the clown, they didn't even ask for my opinion! Yes, no one asked my opinion, including Martin!"

"I think this role is not suitable for Martin. The clown is too different from his usual image and play. This role is too dark and will cause trouble. I know Martin too well. He is too young and difficult to control..."
