American fame and fortune

The gift box made of mahogany is very high-grade, which makes people look forward to the treasures inside.

Annie also asked, "Can I open it now?"

"It's yours now," Martin said.

"Tiffany? Or Patek Philippe? Or pigeon eggs..."

Annie opened the gift box with great anticipation, and there were two exquisite small gift boxes inside. Open the small one first, and there was a pendant lying on the black flannelette, which looked like it was made from the tusks of some kind of animal.

Open another one, and there is a clown with a bloody grin. The clown is obviously Martin.

Annie was still smiling, but the disappointment in her heart was like an oil well erupting, she secretly despised: "That's it? It's not as good as a golden donut!"

Martin said: "This is the trophy of the crocodile and bison I personally hunted and killed when I was filming in Australia. It is specially made by a master sculptor."

Anne's prop necklace is a real pearl, so his presents are also real alligator teeth and bison horn ornaments: "That crocodile is more than six meters long, and it may not be possible to come across one in Australia for a few years. It is made of carved bison horns. , and the rare blue-white right-angle. These are all orphans in North America, and you will never find the same."

Hearing this, Annie's disappointment dissipated a little. After all, the significance is extraordinary, and it may be the only one in the world.

She looked carefully at the clown carvings, and found words on the soles of her feet, and asked, "Is the sculptor Lily Carter?"

There were many clown statues in the express mail Martin received. He would not look carefully, but after a quick glance, he received them in the box.

When he took it, he picked one at random. He never looked at the soles of his feet. He didn't expect Lily, an idiot, to leave his name.

It is impossible to roll over a car.

Martin reacted quickly enough and automatically set up a profile for Lily: "The master sculptor in Australia is a woman named Lily Carter. She is extremely skilled and a top artist. I went to Australia in the first half of the year, and I only received these now. For artworks, it took 6 months just to line up in the middle.”

This is in line with Anne's understanding of art. The works of top artists, let alone fang pendants and human figure carvings, even just stick a banana on the wall with tape, are first-class works of art.

Annie said tentatively: "It's too expensive, I can't accept it."

"It didn't cost much." Martin seemed casual, but turned his words just right: "I just owe a relatively large favor. When she comes to Los Angeles, I will help introduce her to the top celebrity circle in Hollywood."

He pointed to the clown carving: "I've been busy with work recently, and I can't be with you every day, so let it make you happy for me."

The favor is indeed not small, and Annie has a measure in her heart: "I accept it and keep it with me all the time."

At the same time, there is a voice in my heart shouting: I am not that elegant, just give me a vulgar gift.

But her posture is high, and the height set by people is impossible to say.

At least not at this stage.

On the other side, Laura stood beside Bruce, watching Anne and Martin sweetly exchange gifts, and said, "They are so happy!"

Bruce responded casually: "It looks very good."

"I remember you are Martin's manager?" Laura was self-aware that she couldn't plot against Martin, and the managers around her were also good, so she offered her hand: "My name is Laura, a young actor, and I plan to be Annie's assistant."

Bruce shook hands politely, glanced quickly behind Laura, and replied flatly, "Hello."

Seeing the other party's indifferent attitude, Laura thought to herself, didn't she just flatten her ass? Other conditions are good.

Martin sent an official invitation to Annie: "Next weekend, the movie where I will play the absolute leading role is "The Mountain Has Eyes". There will be a fan meeting and promotional event in Burbank. This film will be previewed inside Warner Bros. rated highly.”

As if he was a kid who was eager to get the approval of his favorite person, he said with anticipation: "I want you to see that movie as soon as possible, even if it's just some trailer clips. Annie, can you go with me?"

Even if Annie wanted to go, she would not agree immediately, but pretended to hesitate: "Next weekend, my itinerary..."

But Martin said: "Several of my friends, producer Wes Craven, director Alexander Ajia, and several executives from Warner Bros. will go there, and I still want to introduce you to them, you You told me last time that acting in this film is to seek transformation, and I think getting out of the Disney circle should help you."

"Since you want me to go, I'll go." Annie said in a tone of sacrifice for you and me: "I'll contact my agent today and ask her to postpone next weekend's trip."

Martin clapped his hands hard: "Great!"

When the crew started filming again, Martin finished his visit and left Paramount Studios with Bruce.

After finishing work that day, Anne called her manager Maha.

Maha suggested: "The film you are making now will take the route of European film festivals. In the short term, there will be a vacuum period for your works in North America. Since you approached Martin, the exposure and media popularity have been good. I I think it is necessary for you to go, if Martin confesses to you, accept it! Then I will talk to his agent."

Annie understood, and was also seriously considering this matter.

…………

In the car back to North Hollywood.

Bruce asked Martin, "Shall I call Mene?"

Martin was surprised: "He is taking people to clean up the studio rented by the studio recently. What are you calling him for?"

"Get back the fake diamond ring you gave him!" Bruce didn't seem to be joking: "When you confess your love to Anne, it will definitely be used. We can save a fortune and don't have to spend money on buying a new one."

Martin raised his thumb: "Old Bu, you have evolved again and know how to save money for your employer."

He shook his head: "No, I won't confess my love to Anne."

Bruce bared his teeth: "You are worse than a scumbag."

"As long as I don't take the initiative to confess my love, I'm not a scumbag." Martin has a set of theories, and there is no scumbag major, otherwise it would be easy to get a Ph.D. , not her I was chasing..."

Bruce was sure that the pervert on the co-pilot was no longer going to be a human being.

Martin said seriously: "I want to be a good person, and I can't make promises that cannot be fulfilled. You see, how responsible I am."

Bruce thought of Anne's character: "You two should really be together, get married, hurt each other, and then write out the real experience and make a family ethics drama."

Martin pondered: "Annie's rank is not high now, but after staying with me for a long time, her rank will definitely improve. With her personality, she might fake a murder scene and then hide to frame me for murder. It's not out of the question. "

Bruce spent time in UK: 'Like Agatha Christie with her husband?'

Martin has seen related stories and reports before: "The white lotus went crazy, it's scary."

Bruce reminded, "Aren't you afraid that Louise will go crazy?"

"Louis doesn't like tea, but wine. Although I have a very good relationship with her, it is essentially a transaction with emotional factors, but who knows how many." Martin has a good attitude, because compared to this For the vast majority of people in the circle, he is one of the lucky ones, and the unspoken rules he encounters are completely acceptable: "Who do you think I want to show my experience report every month?"

Bruce was deeply touched: "Every industry is similar. The superiors require their subordinates to pay more. American soldiers stationed all over the world, female officers and generals have a lot of stories to tell."

Martin agrees: "It's not even easy to be a scavenger, and you have to..."

"Shut up!" Bruce held the steering wheel with one hand, and lifted his coat with the other: "Say one more word, and I'll definitely blow your head off."

Martin took the initiative to back down: "You have a concealed gun license, you are amazing!"

He changed to another topic: "Did you have a shoot with Jin?"

Bruce said: "Kim wanted me to do it, but I didn't want to do it. She begged me to be the leading actor. As long as I don't do it, I can do whatever I want."

Martin saw the real scumbag: "Old Bu, you can be my teacher. Compared with you, I am far behind. Really, no matter who I face, I can't do whatever I want."

"I'll teach you a trick." Bruce took out his pocket, wanted to take out Vaseline, but took out a bottle of essential oil.

Martin was surprised and asked, "Have you used it?"

"When I came back from Mexico, I threw it in the suitcase and forgot." Bruce put it away again: "Today I will go to Jin and try."

Martin reminded: "Remember to make videos, Boo. When you run out of money, you can make a lot of money selling videos."

Before returning to North Hollywood, Martin received a call from Robert Patrick asking him to have dinner at a restaurant in Sherman Oaks.

In the Wax Museum audition, Patrick helped, and Martin rushed over immediately.

In an Italian restaurant, he met Patrick.

"There is a chance." Because of that special party, Patrick always remembered Martin: "My 360-degree entertainment company is going to participate in a film investment, WME will produce, professional wrestling star John Cena will be the male lead, and I will play the second male lead." The villain, if you are interested, has the role of the third male, the villain's right-hand man."

Martin took a different path than Patrick's dedicated villain role, saying: "I may not be available."

Out of good intentions, the other party quickly explained: "I'm planning an action shootout scene, and it will probably start shooting next year."

Patrick asked, "Are you the lead actor?"

Martin nodded: "I'm the leading actor."

Patrick understood, and couldn't help laughing: "You develop surprisingly fast. I remember when I came to Hollywood, it took me many years to get a little fame."

Martin also laughed: "We laid a foundation in Atlanta, and when we come to Los Angeles, we have you, Weiss, Ajia, and Zomi to support us, so that we can develop."

Patrick said: "If you have a protagonist to play, don't consider supporting roles. If you can play a positive role, don't play a villain, unless the villain is special and equal to the protagonist."

Finally finished the second chapter.
