American fame and fortune

Sherman Oaks, Coty Community Council.

Chairman Harold came out of the office and when he came to the main entrance on the first floor, an Escalade happened to be parked in the parking space on the left side of the building.

Martin and Bruce got out of the car, Harold greeted the door and shook hands with Martin: "Mr. Davis, welcome to join the Coty community."

"You can just call me Martin." Martin said with a smile, "Antonio and I are old friends, and I've heard him talk about you before."

Harold also smiled: "I envy him very much, he retired early." He led the way: "Please come inside."

Entering the committee's office building, Bruce went to check in, and Harold talked with Martin.

There are actually quite a few stars living in the Coty community. Martin is definitely not the biggest star, but he is the one with the biggest halo.

Honorary citizen of Los Angeles, recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, just caught three Russian spies.

Harold took Martin to visit the exhibition room of the community committee, and gave a brief introduction: "There are more than 20,000 residents in the Coty community, and the residents' income level is very high. We also hold many activities every year. In January and February, the community theater Performances, a dance festival in March, a music festival in April, a camping festival in May..."

Martin understands that, every month there will be a large event or a community festival, competitions will be organized from time to time, and there is even a red wine tasting day every week.

An upscale neighborhood is nothing like a slum.

In other words, senior taxpayers and mixed social relief are in two worlds.

Martin also asked about the source of community funds. In addition to donations from community residents, most of them came from tax rebates.

Property taxes return 1.6 cents per dollar, personal property taxes return 4 cents per dollar, and other revenues like public parking lots go mostly to the community.

The community board has to be a non-profit organization and all that money goes out.

Harold came to a theater model and said to Martin: "We also have community theaters and community theater groups, mainly serving children and young people who like to perform. Your acting skills are highly praised. Are you interested in joining and guiding the children? "

After completing the formalities, Bruce just came in from the outside. Hearing this, he couldn't help muttering to himself, asking Martin, a rotten man, to guide the children, probably taught a group of perverts.

Martin responded immediately: "No problem." He asked again: "Is there a Neighborhood Defense League in the community?"

Harold said, "Of course, are you interested?"

"I have a legal gun license and a concealed gun license." Martin has learned that joining a neighborhood alliance will save a lot of trouble if there is an accident in the community.

He turned his head and pointed at Bruce: "Our two marksmanship is not bad, and we also have certain vigilance and defense capabilities. We want to join."

Harold said: "That's easy to say, I will fill out a document later, and I will take it to the canyon branch for filing."

Bruce struggled to fill in the information again, which was too painful for the scumbags.

"There is a shooting range in the community, and shooting competitions will be held from time to time." Harold said specifically: "You can find out if you have time and interest."

Martin said, "I'll go back and see."

After chatting for a few more words, Martin was about to say goodbye when he saw Bruce came back. Before leaving, he formally invited: "I'm going to hold a housewarming party at my new home this weekend. People from the community committee are welcome to attend."

Harold thought about it and said, "I will definitely be there."

Martin and Bruce left the community board and returned home to visit neighbors with presents, talk about the housewarming party, and politely extend invitations.

One of the houses on both sides is currently vacant, and the other houses a middle-aged couple who are engaged in art business.

The owner of the opposite house is a middle-aged woman in her thirties with an ordinary appearance.

When she opened the door to see Martin, she was surprised: "Martin, how did you find me here?"

Martin didn't remember knowing her, and with a smile on his face, he pointed across the road: "I just moved here."

"So that's how it is." The woman suddenly remembered that Martin didn't recognize herself, so she quickly introduced herself: "My name is Jillian Flynn, I work for Entertainment Weekly, and I attended the premiere of Ge Shan You Eyes and Jeans, unfortunately I didn't have a chance to interview you."

Martin presented the small gift he had prepared: "We will be neighbors from now on."

Gillian accepted it and said, "Thank you." She let the door open: "Would you like to come in and sit?"

Martin declined: "I'm here mainly to meet the neighbors. I'm going to hold a housewarming party this weekend. Please appreciate it."

Gillian said with a smile: "As long as time permits, I will go."

Martin bid farewell and left, crossing the road back to his home, Bruce said: "I asked about their situation at the community committee."

"Hey, Old Bu, you won't have a crush on her, will you?" Martin, a rotten man, didn't have a good word out of his mouth.

Bruce replied angrily: "I'm worried that you will be fucked!" He roughly said: "She has a master's degree in journalism from Northwestern University, and is the deputy editor-in-chief of the star page of "Entertainment Weekly". Proceeds from the ex-husband’s divorce.”

Martin's focus is not on the normal channel at all: "I got divorced and got an independent villa worth more than 2 million US dollars, so getting married is a nightmare for men."

Bruce asked, "What if Louise Meyer married you?"

"When?" Martin said without any hesitation, "I'll go sign with her right away to get the certificate, and lie down from now on."

If he can get close to a rich woman who is about the same age, he won't work hard to make money and do these bad things all day long.

Bruce said of another neighbor: "The Joneses are in the art business, and they have a daughter who works in the Sacred Valley."

Martin was a little surprised: "The same job as Jenna?"

Bruce nodded: "Yes, and the couple doesn't shy away from it, and sometimes they talk about it with people. According to them, their daughter has excess hormones."

Martin could only say: "Sure enough, people who work in art are not ordinary people."

After a short rest, the two went out to shop again, and called Mene, Jessica and others to help.

Time soon approached the weekend, and Martin began to prepare for the party after noon. In addition to hiring a professional party company, he also called Mene, Thomas and Jessica to help.

The barbecue grill next to the auxiliary building was lit, and the vestibule surrounded the swimming pool, with many tables and chairs, and a self-serve area for drinks.

Just after four o'clock, Craven, Jia and Zomi came first.

Martin took the red wine they brought and asked Emily to put it in the living room.

Craven glanced and said, "There is a lack of beauties."

Martin laughed: "I'm a serious party."

Crevi pointed to the swimming pool: "Then invite some beauties in swimsuits to add to the fun."

Ajia said: "When the party is over, let's go wash our faces together."

Martin said, "I guess I don't have time today."

Louise was in the same car as Kate Winslet.

"The house is nice." Kate glanced at the yard and the villa: "It's very beautiful."

Martin said deliberately: "The price is also very scary."

Louise answered with a smile: "It's a pity that there is a lack of a hostess."

Martin said directly: "If you are willing to be the hostess here, I welcome you with my hands up."

Louise just looked at him and smiled, not answering at all.

Martin automatically changed the subject: "Has the arrest warrant been fixed?"

"It's confirmed, you and Julie are very popular now, and Warner Bros. also wants to release it as soon as possible." Louise said briefly: "It will be released in November, so let's work hard to make news."

Martin sighed: "It's going to make trouble again."

Kate laughed when she heard it: "Our generation of actors followed the crew's publicity plan, and the times are really different."

"After the Titanic, you will realize the freedom of wealth, and the sponsorship given to you by the luxury industry every year can guarantee that you will not take the commercial route." Martin took the two in: "I am still a poor man, and I give priority to making money."

Louise said, "A millionaire is also called a poor ghost?"

Martin shrugged: "In Hollywood, where the per capita income is hundreds of millions, what is it not called a poor ghost?"

Kate laughed again: "You're getting funnier." She asked, "Someday, tell us about spies."

Martin pointed to the door: "There are guests again, you can do whatever you want."

He went to greet him, and it was McLean, the director of public relations for the LAPD.

Martin's gun license and concealed gun license are handled through him.

As for the higher level of Los Angeles politics, he has not yet been in touch.

Robert Patrick and several other friends from the film industry also came to the door one after another.

Warner Bros. executive Daniel also came over.

After five o'clock, Harold, the chairman of the community committee, brought three committee members into Martin's house.

Martin introduced the guests one by one.

Harold immediately went to make friends with McLean, secretly sighing that it was very rewarding to come here today.

It is very necessary for a manager hired by a high-end community like him to have a good relationship with the local police.

The person who attracted the most attention at the scene was not the owner Martin, nor the well-dressed ladies like Louise and Kate.

It was Martin's neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Jones.

Mr. Jones talked about his daughter to everyone: "She is very good. She has studied in all prestigious schools from elementary school to university, but God is fair. He gave people an excellent mind and appearance, but did not give people reasonable hormone secretion."

Craven, who is well-informed, understands: "It's also an artistic choice."

"It's not only an art choice, but also a job to support yourself." Mr. Jones did not shy away: "Someone laughed at me for this, and I told him that I was proud of my daughter! At that time, I questioned him, your daughter earned money from ML How much? Didn’t make a penny! But my daughter made hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars.”

He also appealed: "My friends, the Sacred Valley is also a masterpiece of art, we must support the genuine version!"

Not far away, Louise whispered to Martin: "Your neighbor is really interesting, much more interesting than the boring Olsen sisters. I will live here tonight."

Martin said, "You can be mistress if you want."

"Mistress, I'm not interested." Louise's voice was small, but there was a wave of turmoil: "The first shot of your new home must be mine."
