American fame and fortune

There was a long queue of cars on Sunset Boulevard. The Escalade that Martin was riding in was parked in it and did not move forward for a long time.

Thomas, who was in the passenger seat, made a phone call and said, "Temporary traffic control, a large number of marchers have to pass this way."

Bruce asked: "What kind of parade team? They came to the most prosperous place, and the city hall also approved it?"

Martin made a guess: "It won't be those special groups, right?"

Thomas said: "They have been very active this month and have almost become a privileged group in Los Angeles. I just called and asked, and my friend said that originally the city hall would not approve it, but the label of discrimination was removed, and the city hall also I can’t bear it.”

Bruce glanced at Martin and said, "Pandora's box has been opened."

Martin said calmly: "It has been opened a long time ago."

While the three were chatting, a large group of people came along Sunset Boulevard, many of them holding rainbow flags high and dropping promotional materials on every parked car.

These are normal, but the cross-dressing men who follow behind are terrifying.

Some of them are comparable to the heroines of Flamingo.

Martin didn't want to look any further, so he simply closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Thomas looked back: "The more you see it, the more you'll get used to it. I think something more outrageous may pop up in the future."

He said mysteriously: "I got news that there is a new genre and group coming from New York."

Bruce pointed outside the car window: "Can it be more extreme than these?"

"Yes, even if these people don't have surgery, they will at least dress themselves up as women." Thomas has paid attention recently: "But the latest schools and groups no longer distinguish gender by physical features, but by the heart."

Martin understood it as soon as he heard it, and recalled it carefully. In his previous life, this seemed to have appeared around 2015, right?

It’s only 2013. It suddenly appeared. You don’t have to guess. It must be related to the bad things that the asshole trio did with Justin Bieber.

Bruce didn't understand: "What does inner gender differentiation mean?"

Thomas simply explained: "Probably it doesn't matter whether my physical characteristics are male or female, as long as I think I am a man in my heart, I am a man, and if I think I am a woman in my heart, I am a woman."

Bruce was somewhat surprised: "It's impossible for this kind of idiotic division to be widely recognized, right? For example, I think I am a woman and can freely enter the women's bathroom or changing room. Can those women who support this statement accept it?"

Thomas shook his head: "God can't understand what these people think." He added: "It is said that some feminist radicals in the circle, led by Meryl Streep and Emma Watson, are preparing to response."

Martin interjected: "Where are Jolie and Aniston?"

"They support equal rights, but they are not interested in these claims," ​​Thomas said. "I met with them last week, and they would choose to be silent about these claims."

Bruce thought more: "Today's society is too dangerous. I accidentally touched a man's chest and he said that he was a woman. Am I not guilty of harassment?"

"It seems like a problem," Thomas said.

Martin came up with random ideas: "It's easy to do, defeat magic with magic."

Bruce understood what he was thinking: "I said I'm also a woman?"

"You can also say that you are a genderless person." Martin thought of all the monsters and monsters in his previous life: "Or, you could just say it is a Walmart shopping bag. No matter what gender the other person is, what will happen if the person is touched by a shopping bag?"

Thomas was stunned at first, then turned on his phone and wrote it down on the memo.

Bruce frowned: "That's not the case, is it?"

"It's very necessary!" Thomas was extremely serious. He pointed to the women's clothing bosses outside the car and said, "Hollywood has always been at the forefront of trends. This aspect is almost becoming black and white. I have to be myself. Protect."

Martin couldn't help but nod: "It makes sense. Please be careful in the future and don't overturn on this."

Sunset Boulevard was blocked for nearly an hour, and the long line of cars finally started to move slowly. Martin kept looking outside the car all the way. Almost all the busy areas on the roadside were occupied by special groups, and there were countless slogans and slogans.

Some of them may pursue equal rights, but the number pursuing privileges will definitely not be less than them.

Denying privileges is discrimination.

Martin returned home to Beverly Hills more than an hour later than expected.

Lily was the only one at home.

Martin walked into the villa with his luggage and asked, "Where is Liz?"

Lily dragged a large suitcase and said as she walked: "I'm going to the company. Sister Olsen seems to be in some trouble. She went over to help solve it."

Martin entered the living room and put down his bag casually: "Is it troublesome?"

Lily said: "It's a small matter, Liz said she can solve it."

Martin asked no more questions.

Bruce came in from outside with two other bags and said to Martin: "You can't go out these days. I'll take a vacation, three to five days, depending on the situation."

Lily asked deliberately: "Are you going to meet the Kardashian sisters?"

Bruce nodded and went to meet Kim and Khloe first, and then to meet Jody the next day. It was a bit busy.

Martin said: "Five days, I haven't had much to do recently. It's enough to stay in Los Angeles with bodyguards following behind."

Bruce warned: "Los Angeles has been a bit chaotic recently, please be careful."

Martin waved his hand: "Go and do your work."

When Bruce went out, Lily ran behind Martin, pushing the horse upstairs like a human bulldozer.

Going upstairs, Martin said: "I'm going to take a shower first."

Lily glanced at the wall clock: "Hurry up, I'll eat enough while Liz is not here!"

Martin knew that she was very quarrelsome and was actually a scumbag.

He belongs to the type who is good at food and loves to play.

As soon as Martin dealt with Lily, Elizabeth rushed back and went directly upstairs.

When she saw Lily with frost on her lips, she was so angry that she put her hands on her hips. She wanted to say something to Martin but was reluctant, so she simply said to Lily: "Lily Carter, you actually ate it secretly!"

Lily wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "How could I eat secretly? I ate openly!"

Elizabeth said angrily: "You violated our agreement!"

Lily was nagging: "Liz, think about it carefully. You have been secretly eating Martin since you turned eighteen. How many years have you been secretly eating Martin before me?"

Elizabeth laughed angrily at Lily: "You didn't join at that time, okay?"

"Okay, okay." Martin pulled Elizabeth over: "Everyone has it, no need to grab it."

Soon Elizabeth was speechless.

When it got dark, the three of them came down from upstairs.

The chef has prepared dinner.

Sitting at the dining table, Martin remembered what Lily said before and asked, "Is your sister in trouble?"

Elizabeth said: "Something about the company, various affirmative action movements have been fierce in Los Angeles recently. The company is engaged in the fashion industry. There are many forward-thinking people in the company, and many of them have been affected by these movements."

Lily glanced at Martin and asked, "Isn't he a crossdresser?"

Elizabeth shook her head: "The company's employees are mainly female, and there are many homosexuals in this industry. Some consider themselves to be men and request the establishment of a third-gender bathroom in the company."

She would have video calls with Martin every few days, so she had some idea of ​​the bad things the bastard trio had done: "It feels like you have inspired a lot of ferocious monsters to come out."

Lily didn't see it that way: "The monster already exists and has a ferocious temperament. It didn't show it before. It was just lurking and waiting for opportunities. Even without Martin and the other three, the monster will find other opportunities."

Elizabeth thought for a moment and nodded to Lily: "You are right."

Martin asked: "How are you going to solve it?"

"In the past, I would have definitely fired them!" Elizabeth said somewhat helplessly: "But in the current social situation, firing them is more troublesome. It doesn't cost much to invest a sum of money to renovate the bathroom and set up a third-gender-only one. "

Lily said: "This is not like your style, compromising so easily."

Elizabeth said directly: "I have written down all the people who took the lead in making trouble. When I find the right opportunity, I will tell them to get out!"

Lily said deliberately: "Wow, Liz, you look like a domineering female president."

Martin said: "What does it look like? She is a female CEO."

"I don't want to be a domineering female CEO." Elizabeth smiled sweetly: "The domineering female CEO Martin mentioned last time ran the company until it went bankrupt and almost went bankrupt herself. I don't have a billionaire father."

After dinner, the three of them went for a walk together. Martin held Elizabeth on the left and Lily on the right. They walked together in the garden of the mansion, which was so comfortable.

After two days of good rest at home, Martin returned to the company to handle some accumulated work.

Jonathan Nolan completed the first draft of the "Split" script, and when he learned that he was back in Los Angeles, he came to see him as soon as possible.

After Martin read it carefully, he called David Fincher, who happened to be in Los Angeles, and the three discussed the script for a long time.

David Fincher has signed a contract with Davis Studio and will serve as the director of this project.

After two days of discussion, Jonathan Nolan went back to refine the script.

David Fincher is also preparing to go to Washington to film "House of Cards" in collaboration with Netflix.

Later, Martin received a video call from Ukraine.

On the screen, Alexandrovich's avatar was slightly laggy, but his voice was very clear: "Boss, let me tell you good news. After a winter and a spring of preparations, the 16th Saint Maiden Auditions will be held. The competition will start simultaneously in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus on May 1."

Martin gave appropriate encouragement: "Well done."

Alexandrovich smiled and said: "The number of people who have signed up now exceeds 50,000, and the attention is very high. It will definitely become the variety show with the highest ratings in Eastern Europe."

He extended an invitation: "Boss, will you be the judge in the finals?"

Martin responded this time: "Okay, you can send the tournament schedule to Lao Bu."
