American Fame and Fortune

Chapter 848 Doomsday Collapse

 Sherman Oaks, Angels Club.

At the outdoor shooting training ground, boss Kane stood behind Martin and Mene, holding a timer in his hand. He pressed it suddenly and shouted: "Start!"

Martin pulled out the Glock pistol from his waist, held it tightly with both hands, and lunged forward with standard tactical movements, constantly pulling the trigger. The human-shaped targets that appeared in front fell one after another amidst the collision of bullets.

Meine on the other side also moved very quickly. He also held a gun with both hands and quickly entered another shooting range and shot his targets one after another.

 Martin's movements were obviously faster and his marksmanship was more accurate. After firing one magazine, seventeen targets fell.

 He changed the magazine and continued to fire rapidly.

 Two minutes later, Martin came out of the shooting range and waited for a while before Mene came over.

 The burst of shooting in a short period of time consumed Mene's too much physical strength and energy.

 This guy’s forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

 Celine Dion came from behind, took out the towel she had prepared, stood in front of Mene, and carefully wiped the sweat from his face.

 Lily used a towel to wipe Martin's sweat first.

Meine is also undergoing high-intensity fitness and training for the filming of the film, and firearms and shooting are necessary links.

Being able to live with two women, they can live peacefully without interfere with Martin to pick up girls outside. This is the winner of life!

In the area where the women were staying, Elizabeth poked Lily who was still gossiping with Jodi. Lily immediately understood, and one of Elizabeth and Elizabeth took a towel and the other took a water glass to find Martin.

 As a result, they found that Bruce had taken the lead.

 Chen Hu and Chad were silent for a while.

 Celine Dion touched the obvious bags under her eyes and asked, "What can I do? Can you tell me?"

 Martin discusses the plot with Chad and Mene.

The female companions gathered together, occupied a sofa, drank afternoon tea and talked about topics of interest to them.

 In the spin-off series, Martin also plans to focus on Chad.

This time it is not Jonathan, played by Martin, as the male protagonist, but the story of Winston, played by Mene, and the Continental Hotel in New York.

 Chad plans to enjoy this series for the rest of his life, so he pays special attention to everything in the series.

 Martin and others came to the bar, drank and talked about work, mainly about movies.

 "John Wick 3" is in post-production, and the progress is relatively smooth, and it can be released in time for next year's summer release.

"Although literature and drama are not important, action scenes also need to be connected with literature and drama." Chad said: "The main plot of this film tells how Winston went from being a free-range lone wolf killer to becoming a killer." Continental Hotel.”

For Mene, Celine Dion temporarily moved from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to accompany Mene in these preparations.

 Lily went over, stared at Bruce, and whispered: "Old Boo, you took my job."

 Lily is much more energetic than Elizabeth: "Maybe it has something to do with Martin. After being with Martin, I feel younger."

 In recent times, Mene has been spending time in the Angels Club, receiving professional guidance and training.

“I’m not sure about this either.” Elizabeth said honestly: “Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I rarely wear heavy makeup?”

 On the other side, women are discussing cosmetics and skin care.

 In addition, Chen Hu and Marcus, two guys who do not need to participate in post-production, are already designing action scenes for the new part of the series.

Meine not only developed a muscular body, but he was also able to use a gun skillfully.

Chen Hu said: "Both Martin and Mene are winners in life. I can't envy them."

Jody touched his skin and felt it was good, and said, "I recently learned a good way to eliminate and soothe eye bags and wrinkles."

Others at the scene looked at this scene with envy.

Although his shooting skills are not very accurate, his movements are very bluffing.

  It is enough for shooting action scenes in movies.

  She is really rich and gentle.

 Martin nodded: "You will discuss these with the screenwriter in detail, and your opinions will be the main ones."

 The project is also temporarily named "New York Continental Hotel".

Marcus patted them on the shoulders and said, "We are all winners in life!"

 Lily and Elizabeth are the ones who are asked the most questions. They have no bags under their eyes and good skin. They are in their twenties and mid-twenties, but they look about twenty years old.

Bruce was embarrassed to laugh: “I’m used to it on the set.”

 Chad, Chen Hu, Marcus and others have long been used to it.

 Elizabeth handed the water glass to Martin again.

Meine and Martin's training lasted for more than an hour, and everyone returned to the entertainment rest area.

 She took out a bottle of Gatorade from the back pocket of her jeans and squeezed it out of Semene's hand.

Chad glanced at Jodi and thought of the Kardashian sisters who were closely connected with Bruce: "Bruce is also a winner in life."

Kane is not without envy that he has such a woman, why should he open a club!

 After a moment, Chen Hu said: "That's right, we all became winners in life by following Martin."

Chad’s girlfriend Catherine is also very interested: “When I don’t sleep well, I tend to get bags under my eyes. This problem has been bothering me.”

"This is the secret trick Sandra Bullock told me when I interviewed her some time ago." Jodi opened the bag he brought with him, took out a tube of red, yellow and white ointment and said, "Sander La has been using this ointment as eye cream since 2001. She said it has a very good effect on eliminating eye bags and preventing the appearance of fine lines around the eyes. She is indeed extraordinary in this regard. "

 Everyone recalled that the fifty-year-old Sandra Bullock did not seem to have obvious bags under her eyes.

Chen Hu’s girlfriend is a Chinese. At this time, she came over to take a look and said: "This you are holding is... hemorrhoid ointment!"

 Nowadays, with the advancement of information, everyone present knows what hemorrhoid cream is used for.

 Lily was surprised: "What you wipe on your **** can also be used as cosmetics on your face?"

Jody shrugged: "I tried it, and it feels good."

 Celine Dion took out her mobile phone and said: "I will take a photo and buy it back another day to try the effect."

 Jody held the hemorrhoid ointment in the palm of her hand so her sisters could take photos.

Even Lily and Elizabeth took out their mobile phones and took photos, even though they felt they wouldn't be able to use them in the short term.

 Catherine also found Sandra Bullock's INS, which contained articles written by Sandra. One of them was about her skin care experience, which mentioned hemorrhoid cream.

 After the club activities in the afternoon, many people held a party at a nearby restaurant during dinner.

 Elizabeth is generous and generous, making the atmosphere harmonious among the female family members, and there is always no shortage of topics to talk about.

 At the end of the evening, she and Lily also gave each woman a small gift.

 At home, Martin rewarded them well so that they could sleep well. The next morning, as soon as he arrived at the studio, Bruce brought over a newspaper and asked Martin to read one of its pages.

“After the trial ended yesterday, the verdict was announced in court.” He said: “Ryan Reynolds was sentenced to six years in prison. He may have been under some pressure and announced in court that he would give up the appeal and obey the verdict.”

Martin didn’t quite understand the specific legal provisions and asked: “Is the time a little shorter?”

Bruce said: "After all, the victim is a Ukrainian, not an American. Although various women's and children's institutions in Los Angeles are watching, this result is already good."

He added: "Regardless of the length of his sentence, there is no place in Hollywood for Ryan Reynolds."

Martin nodded slightly, picked up the phone and dialed Scarlett's number. The person who answered the phone was an assistant.

Scarlett Johansson is filming some interior scenes for "Avengers 2" at Disney Studios and has no time at the moment.

Not long after, Scarlett Johansson called. She took the initiative to ask Martin to meet at a restaurant outside the Disney Studio at noon, and wanted to treat Martin to a big dinner.

 At noon, Martin arrived for the appointment on time.

Scarlett booked a table, put on an autumn dress that highlighted her figure, and met Martin in the restaurant.

 She was in a good mood and took the initiative to clink glasses with Martin: "My dear, you should congratulate me."

Martin roughly understands why: "Because of Ryan Reynolds?"

Scarlett deliberately showed off, as if it was really her own means: "I sent my ex-husband who once bullied me to prison, which feels great!"

 Martin clinked glasses with her again: "Congratulations, your great revenge has been avenged."

Scarlett took a sip of wine and asked with a smile: "Do I look like a black widow?"

“It doesn’t look like a black widow.” Martin joked deliberately: “It looks like a praying mantis.”

 Scarlett understood and moved closer: "Are you willing to be the other half of the female praying mantis?"

  Martin said: "If you find your partner, I will congratulate you."

Scarlett frowned: "You have raised my expectations for men. It's too difficult to find another one." She looked at Martin: "A man like you who is rich, good-looking, has a good figure, is capable and skilled , too few.”

 Martin thought to himself, this is all rubbish.

 He smiled at Scarlett: "You can come to me at any time."

 After lunch, before leaving, Scarlett said: "I'm going to visit Ryan Reynolds."

This is to kill someone and also kill your heart? Martin once again saw the horror of a creature like his ex-wife and said, "Is he willing to see you?"

Scarlett smiled and said: "I have a way to let him see me."

Martin thought of Julie and Aniston, and then looked at Scarlett in front of him, thinking that marriage is indeed a terrible thing, and if you can avoid it, don't touch it.

The ex-wife is such a terrifying creature, its destructive power is about equal to that of a nuclear bomb.

If it explodes with a bang, more than two people, it may blow up the lives of many people into a ball of pulp.

 There are too many examples like this inside and outside the circle.

To this day, Nicole Kidman pulls Tom Cruise out for a walk, so as to attract the attention of the world.

 Martin can imagine that after Ryan Reynolds loses his physical freedom, he will be severely beaten mentally by his ex-wife Scarlett Johansson.

 In the afternoon, Thomas called and Martin went to the WMA headquarters in Century City.

WMA has received another batch of scripts and project books, including projects from film companies and scripts completed by WMA's screenwriting clients.

 According to WMA's ranking, among all male actor clients, Martin is the natural first choice.

 All project roles must be chosen by Martin before the others can take their turn.

 In the conference room, Thomas led a group of people and moved the recently accumulated project books and scripts to the conference table in front of Martin according to the computer catalog index.

 It is impossible for Martin to read every script one by one. There are dozens of texts for projects from external film companies, plus scripts written by writers under WMA.

 If you really have to read each one carefully, you may not be able to read them all in a week.

 Martin, as before, starts with the index and content introduction.

Most projects are of little significance to Martin, who takes the boutique route.

For example, he saw the synopses of "Bad Thief" and "The Last Witch Hunter" in the catalog. Although he had relevant memories, it was difficult for these films to make a profit.

 With an investment of US$60 million, it may take about ten years to recover the capital.

 After quickly browsing dozens of project indexes and introductions, Martin finally gained something and called out one of the scripts.

 There is only one, which is already very rare, because most of the time there will be no harvest at all.

For too many projects in Hollywood, the project is finalized first and then the script is produced.

 Martin said to Thomas: "This project seems to only have a script, right?"

"San Andreas"? Thomas immediately said to his assistant: "Find this script immediately."

He looked at the index: "The screenwriter is Carlton Cuse's team, and he is the company's first-line screenwriting client."

 Martin nodded slightly, and while waiting for the script, asked: "What works has he done in the past?"

This screenwriter is well-known within WMA. Thomas knows something about him and said: "He was originally a film screenwriter. In the 1980s, he worked as a screenwriter for "Beverly Hills". Later, he moved to the TV series industry and worked in "The Past". He has worked as a screenwriter on "Jianglong" and "The Jimmy Show" and became the company's first-line client, mainly because he has served as the chief screenwriter for many episodes of "Lost" in the past few years."

  The American drama "Lost" has an impression on Martin that it was once a phenomenal work.

Soon, Thomas’s assistant found a copy of the script and gave it to Martin.

Martin took it and read it carefully. Just like the introduction, San Andreas refers to the San Andreas fault that runs through California. Some geologists predict that this fault zone has accumulated huge pressure. If once If it is released, it will cause a major earthquake of magnitude 8 or above in western California.

This is easily reminiscent of a famous disaster movie from the previous life, and it is also the most successful disaster movie after "2012".

 The Chinese translation is "Doomsday Collapse".

Martin couldn't remember the detailed plot. The one who impressed him most was Alexandra Daddario. He only remembered that she ran wildly during the earthquake, which gave people the illusion that this super earthquake was... Caused by her.

Yes, and Dwayne Johnson.

Martin looked at the character carefully. The male protagonist is a member of the fire rescue team. He divorced his wife, and his wife married a wealthy man in San Francisco with their daughter.

 After the earthquake broke out, the male protagonist traveled thousands of miles to rescue, running from Los Angeles to San Francisco and rescued his wife and daughter.

 Martin is absolutely certain that this is "Doomsday Collapse".

 This film has great commercial prospects once it is finished.

 He ​​thought for a moment and said to Thomas: "Contact Carlton Cuse and his agent and tell them directly that Davis Studio is interested in this project."

Thomas quickly wrote it down and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. The company will also facilitate this deal."
