American fame and fortune

Burbank, Pacific Films Productions.

As soon as Martin entered the reception room, he came across to an extremely enthusiastic middle-aged man and shook hands with him vigorously.

Louise just stood by and laughed.

Wu Maoting, an investor from Southeast Asia, said in English with an accent: "Martin, The Departed Walker has been a great success. Your performance is very exciting and shocking."

Martin said with a smile: "Mr. Wu is over the award."

Wu Maoting asked: "Thank you and Ms. Meier for giving me this investment opportunity, allowing me to jump out of Asia and expand my business territory to the United States."

Martin did not speak immediately, but glanced at Louise.

Even if The Departed Walker is a hit at the box office, companies like Hollywood still have ways to make losses on their books.

Louise rolled her eyes unobtrusively.

Martin understands that this is a long-term and reasonable operation.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Wu Maoting has a mine in his hand, and the money converted from the mine does not dare to stay in the local area, so he naturally wants to find better investment channels.

Another point is that those who can occupy the emerald mines in Myanmar have not only guns in their hands, but also many guns.

Martin spoke nicely: "Mr. Wu also has good vision. There were so many people back then. Mr. Wu chose to trust me and Louise, so he got what he deserved."

Wu Maoting expressed his desire to continue to cooperate: "I have experienced the openness and tolerance of Hollywood. Although there are unlimited business opportunities here, I believe in the partners I have worked with."

Louise stated: "There will be an opportunity to continue working together soon."

Wu Maoting beckoned, and two attendants came over each holding a mahogany box.

He took one, handed it first to Louise, and put the other into Martin's hands, saying, "A little gift is no tribute."

At this moment, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Wu Maoting bid farewell and left.

Louise and Martin sent people back, looked at the mahogany box on the table, and she said, "Could it be another emerald?"

"Emerald is also very good." Martin opened his mahogany box, and there was a piece of emerald inside.

It's almost full of green, and the water is very good, but he, a layman, can't see the specifics.

Louise is an emerald bracelet inlaid with platinum.

She took a closer look and said, "Probably worth hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Martin said: "For mine owners and warlords, this thing is nothing. I think his family is richer than us."

Louise pushed up her black-rimmed glasses: "It must be thicker than you."

Martin nodded, picked up the box and prepared to leave: "I'm going to the brokerage company."

Louise took the initiative to invite: "Go to my place for dinner in the afternoon. By the way, my bedroom has a new layout, why don't you go and have a look?"

Now single again, Martin said, "Well, I'll call you when I'm done."

Louise said, "I'll wait for your call."

Three and a half years have passed since she met Martin, and she hasn't changed too much, but Martin has turned upside down.

From a penniless little actor to a star with strong appeal.

Louise has been adjusting her mentality recently so that the relationship between the two can develop in the long run.

Martin left Pacific Pictures, went to Century City, entered the WMA lobby, and met all smiling faces.

On the way to Thomas's office, most of the people who knew him or didn't know him would take the initiative to say hello to him.

There are also a few brokers working in the lobby, asking him if he has any new projects and if he can give their clients a hand.

Most of Martin answered vaguely, and pushed it to Thomas, and the agent moved forward with a heavy burden.

Coming to Thomas' office, Bruce stayed outside as before, chatting with Natasha.

When Thomas saw Martin, he picked up a piece of information and handed it to Martin: "I just got the information from Warner Bros. The projects you worked with them have been successful one after another, and they are willing to disclose some to us."

Martin opened it and found a comic book inside, Frank Miller's "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns."

Thomas said in detail: "You asked me to pay attention to Christopher Nolan. I got reliable news. The Nolan brothers have basically finalized the main story line of the Batman sequel, which will be adapted based on the return of the Dark Knight. The information I received also confirmed this.”

Martin looked and asked, "Anything else?"

"The protagonists of the film are Batman and the Joker. Like Thief, it adopts a two-hero confrontation mode." Thomas has worked hard on this during this time: "The Departed Walker is a big hit. Big hits, Warner Bros. and DC Comics, there won't be too many obstacles."

Martin didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Get the script as soon as possible."

"I will." Thomas stroked his hair, which he had recently had a hair transplant to keep it from looking too thin on the top of his forehead.

But the hair transplant was not very successful, and the forehead soon brightened: "This is a commercial masterpiece, and I hope to give you a salary of more than 10 million U.S. dollars."

Martin nodded: "I hope both of us can get rich."

Thomas was full of enthusiasm: "It will."

The two discussed for a while about the awards season.

There are not many occasions that require Martin to participate in public relations in person. The main task of actors is to increase exposure, express a positive attitude at canvassing meetings, and leave the lobbying to professional public relations.

Of course, the most important thing is to spend money.

Thomas talked about an important part of public relations: "The company has contacted relevant institutions to find the right time to start a charitable foundation."

He worried that Martin would misunderstand: "Charitable donations can be deducted from taxes, and a considerable part of the funds raised can be used for the operation of the organization."

Martin understood: "I know, you get the procedural matters done as soon as possible." Thomas wanted to refuse, saying that this is not the agent's job, but thinking of the person sitting opposite, the salary for a single film will soon reach 10 million More than a dollar, he swallowed the words again.

As a pre-millionaire, Thomas felt that it was no big deal to do more work, after all, there was Natasha as an assistant.

The CPU is one level at a time.

After staying in Thomas' office for nearly an hour, Martin took his leave.

When going downstairs, Bruce followed up from behind and said, "Based on Natasha's words, Thomas works very hard."

Martin thought of Thomas' thinning forehead, and said softly, "I can see it."

When he came to the WMA lobby, Martin had just turned out of the elevator when someone next to him called him: "Martin!"

Before he could turn his head, Jennifer Aniston, who was wearing a short windbreaker, walked over quickly, regardless of whether there was anyone around, she stretched out her arms and hugged him vigorously.

Martin returned to being single and didn't care about other people's eyes. He hugged Aniston back, kissed her hard on the forehead, and said, "Jane, you are still so beautiful."

Aniston held Martin's face, kissed him hard on the mouth, and said, "Congratulations, the new movie is a big hit."

Manager Steve coughed hard and reminded the two of them: "This is not a place to talk."

The WMA offices are generally closed to journalists. As for other rumors, Martin and Aniston didn't care about the rumors when they filmed "Never Ending" together.

Aniston looked eagerly at the increasingly attractive little milk dog, and said, "It feels like you are different."

"Do you have an important job right now?" Martin asked.

Aniston shook her head without hesitation.

Martin took her hand and left, saying to Bruce, "Drive the car to the underground parking lot."

Steve wanted to stop him, but seeing Aniston's smiling face, he stood there without saying anything, just watching Martin steal his client.

The two got into the car, and Bruce went straight to the nearest five-star hotel without Martin's instructions.

At this time, a thousand words are not as good as a shot to the end.

For the rest, it's not too late to wait until the Eagles are finished.

When we arrived at the hotel, Aniston hung on the wall as Martin's poster.

In Martin's words, this is the highest idol worship fans have.

Also called happy worship.

Just after the singing, Martin's cell phone rang. He picked it up and took a look. It turned out that it was Julie who called.

Aniston also noticed the name displayed on the screen and said, "Just pick it up."

That being said, her legs turned into ropes, which bound Martin and prevented him from going away.

Although Aniston's heart to compete with Julie has long since faded, it is also very interesting to be able to add trouble to her.

Martin pressed the answer button: "Hi, Angie, what's the matter?"

Julie was straightforward: "I heard that you have returned to Los Angeles. I haven't seen you for a long time. I'll find you for a drink."

Martin looked at Aniston, thought of Louise at night, decided to take it easy, and said, "I don't have time today, let's try another day."

Julie was active and guessed, "Are you with Aniston?"

Martin doesn't admit it, doesn't deny it.

"Let her answer the phone!" Julie said.

Aniston's hand reached out.

Martin said, "You don't mind her."

Aniston persisted.

Martin's phone was in her hand.

Aniston picked up the phone and said quickly, "I'm with Martin, do you want to know where?"

Without thinking, Julie blurted out: "Tell me!"

"Guess slowly!" Aniston cut off the phone directly, put his arms around Martin's neck, and asked deliberately: "Have you thought about calling me and Julie together?"

Martin shook his head: "I never thought about it."

"Really?" She didn't believe it.

Martin stopped talking and went on with his eagle shots.

When it was almost time to get off work, Martin went downstairs alone, went home, changed his clothes, drove in an inconspicuous car, and rushed to the south hillside.

Life is really hard, you need to run back and forth, and your waist is sore from exhaustion.

Martin came to Louise's mansion. After entering the living room, he saw Louise mixing drinks for him behind the bar. He pulled out a chair and sat down, taking a breath first.

No way, men are inherently weak in this respect.

"Are you going to the International Bartenders Conference this year?" he asked.

Louise pointed to the medals and certificates in the glass showcase: "How can we miss the only female master bartender."

Martin nodded: "I recently made a new cocktail called a hole in one."
