American fame and fortune

Early on Monday morning, Martin got off the battery car and entered Warner Studios' Wanted Studio on time.

With a bang, more than a dozen garlands exploded, and countless ribbons and sequins fluttered down, covering Martin's head and body.

There was extremely warm applause, and everyone was applauding.

For the film's big sales, for Martin, the leading actor and project promoter, and for the bonuses they can get.

A Hollywood movie is a big hit at the box office, and all the full-time employees on the crew are rewarded.

The worst is also a bonus.

Martin applauded along with the crowd, and kept saying loudly: "Thank you! Thank you every one of you for your support!"

He was also very excited, but he did not get carried away, let alone arrogant. Instead, he said: "Without you, this film would not be successful! You are the foundation of success!"

Everyone applauded again.

Martin beckoned from behind, and when Bruce and Mene came in with a case of wine each, he said, "I invite everyone to drink."

There are many behind-the-scenes personnel in the crew, and they may continue to cooperate next time, such as Chad and Bradt.

Martin had a drink with the group and headed for the office, followed by Chad.

"I heard that a new project has taken shape?" he asked.

Martin took the novel "Dark Realm" from the desk and gave it to him: "Bradett is planning to adapt the script. According to my vision, it will involve a lot of action scenes. If you want, you can continue to serve as the action director and assistant director."

Chad responded, "I don't have to worry about finding a new job."

Cooperation with successful people has a higher chance of success. His previous job, "Hell Detective" was not very successful, and Warner Bros. directly cut off the sequel project.

Martin's phone rang.

Chad took the novel and took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Martin answered, and it was Leonardo calling.

"Man, congratulations, your new movie is a big hit at the box office." Leonardo was a little confused: "Your new box office champion, the first-week number is higher than the first-week box office of all my past movies."

Martin and him don't need to be humble: "Really? I surpassed Leonardo, it's great!" He laughed: "Your movies last longer, longer than your people."

Leonardo cursed: "You bastard, don't let me get a chance to fuck you." He said instead: "It feels good to wash your face at night."

Martin smiled: "You call the old bastard, and I also call a few friends here, let's go together."

Leonardo replied: "Yes."

The office door rang from the outside, Martin hung up the phone and said please come in, and a staff member walked in with Sophia.

Sophia didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I want to invest in your new project, no matter what it is, I will invest."

The funder offered to invest money, how could Martin refuse, and said: "No problem, the adaptation of the script of the new project has not yet started, I will inform you."

Sophia nodded: "I'm returning to Atlanta today, and you can call me directly then."

Martin sent people all the way out of the studio.

Looking around, there are so many good people.

A battery car was parked next to it, and Thomas got out of the car, holding a heavy briefcase in his hand.

Martin was curious: "What did you bring?"

Thomas smiled: "Many agents in the company have stuffed me with the director's information, and want to join your new project."

He specially emphasized: "Not only new directors, but also some famous directors."

Martin returned to the studio first, waited for Thomas to follow, and asked, "I'm so popular now?"

Thomas put away his smile, and said very seriously: "The box office of the latest film in North America was 68.55 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend. You may not have a specific idea. Let me tell you. Although I haven't made specific statistics, Hollywood has achieved this so far. There will be no more than 20 movies! If you exclude the sequels of blockbuster movies, there will be no more than 10."

Martin generally has the impression that the first film in North America to exceed 100 million in the opening weekend is "Spider-Man", and only an adaptation or sequel can achieve this achievement. 100 million.

According to the results, it is not unreasonable for Hollywood to despise original movies.

Back in the office, Martin looked through the director's information brought by Thomas, and more than 10 people actively contacted him!

Martin carefully read the relevant information and divided the 14 directors into two parts, those with successful resumes and new directors.

One of them, a British director named Danny Boyle, caught Martin's attention. He checked his resume and found that he had seen two films directed by him, "Trainspotting" and "28 Days Later".

The former seems to be a movie about 2B youth taking drugs, and the latter seems to be a zombie movie.

Martin called Bruce and told him to buy two discs and come back.

Plus, Danny Boyle has crossed paths with Leonardo, who starred in his adventure film The Beach.

Thomas pointed to the information: "He is the most famous director among all the directors here, and he also has a second line."

Martin asked curiously, "Have you contacted him?"

"No." Thomas explained briefly: "After I entered the project into the company's database, Danny Boyle took the initiative to contact me. He has read the novel in the dark realm and is very interested in adapting it."

Martin said: "You talk to him first, and I will find a suitable opportunity to talk to him too."

At the same time, at Paramount Studios, the crew of "Extraordinary Pursuit" has just finished the last promotional activity before the screening.

The heroine Jennifer Aniston came out of the studio, and the hot air under the spotlight made her feel extremely uncomfortable and felt out of breath.

Not only that, but also "Wanted" which sold well last weekend.

"Desperate Pursuit" will be released in full this weekend, and Aniston will have a direct confrontation with Jolie on the second weekend of the most wanted weekend.

What would the media say if they lost?

The first week's release can't beat the next week's release, isn't Aniston Jolie's opponent?

Another endless gossip.

The actor Clive Owen passed by and said hello to this side.

Aniston smiled and nodded in response, but was a little disappointed, his box office appeal was too poor.

When this film was filmed, King Arthur had not yet been released, and the market response of King Arthur was a mess.

Aniston couldn't help sighing inwardly. Julie has Martin Davis as a good helper, and the leader of the Coca-Cola Cult has a huge market appeal, which is simply not comparable to that of Clive Owen.

Look at these two people, Martin and Julie, who have turned the gossip lace into a French meal.

"Hi, Jane." A familiar voice came from behind.

Aniston turned her head, saw the face of her ex-husband Pete, and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

She found that there were several people behind Pete, including Matt Damon and Harvey Weinstein, and she roughly understood.

The Weinstein Film Company is one of the distributors of "Desperate Pursuit".

Pete pointed to the cafe opposite: "Talk a few words? For the sake of the past."

Aniston didn't want to quarrel with people in this crowded place, so she left the studio first, crossed the main road of the studio, and entered the cafe opposite.

Pete followed and sat across from her.

Aniston said to a stranger: "Please tell me if you have anything to say."

"Jane, give me a chance, okay?" Pete seriously suspected that he was being tricked by Julie, compared with the slut, he couldn't help thinking of Aniston: "I leave Julie, let's go back to the past, okay? "

Aniston suddenly wanted to laugh, and forcibly held back: "You were forcibly broken up by her, and then you came back to me? Do you think I'm easy to bully? I don't want to be entangled with you, it doesn't mean I'm stupid."

Pete said: "I just made mistakes that men make..."

Aniston interrupted him: "Why did she break up with you? Don't you love deeply?"

"Martin Davis! She's a slutty woman. Just after you left me, she got involved with Martin Davis." Pete tried to keep calm: "Perhaps Martin Davis loves her even deeper place."

His tone was sincere: "Jane, let's go back to the past."

"Impossible." Aniston figured out the cause and effect, didn't want to see Pete again, got up and left.

Pete stood up and wanted to chase after him, but many people around him looked at him, and he didn't chase after all because of his face.

Aniston walked down Main Studio Road, toward the main entrance parking lot.

At this moment, Pete's words were stirring back and forth in her mind, allowing her to understand a reality.

Pitt kicked her because of Jolie, and she was the one who got hurt.

Jolie kicked Pete because of Martin, and it was Pete who got hurt.

In this triangle relationship, the one who should be hurt the most, and the only one who hasn't been hurt yet, is Julie!

Aniston faced the media calmly, as if he had completely let go of all this, but only a woman can understand the hatred in a woman's heart.

Passing the newsstand, she bought a copy of The Hollywood Reporter, which had a photo of Martin and Jolie on the front page.

These two are the male and female protagonists of "Wanted". The film has just been a big success, and Julie has become popular, and she has made herself a super virgin.

Aniston doesn't care about children, family and the Virgin, she just wants to make Julie uncomfortable.

how should I do it?

Aniston opened her bag, took out her cell phone, rummaged through her address book, and found the contact number she had exchanged with Martin at the Coty Community Wine Tasting Party.

She pointed to the dial button, but didn't press it. After thinking for a while, she flipped through the address book, dialed the number of manager Steve, and said, "Help me find out about Martin Davis' recent situation."

Over there, I don't quite understand: "Because there is a competition between the two movies this weekend?"

"No, it's my personal business." Aniston said directly: "Learn about his latest developments and reply to me as soon as possible."

"Give me a few days." The agent responded.

Aniston put away her phone as a scooter passed by, and she spotted Pitt, Damon, the Affleck brothers and Harvey Weinstein in the same car.

Apparently, they got together.
