American fame and fortune

When Elizabeth Olsen came out of the exit at the Los Angeles International Airport, she saw a lot of reporters taking pictures around people. The person who was photographed was tall and tall, holding a large bunch of roses in his hand, it was Martin.

Throwing the luggage to her twin brother James and the backpack to her two sisters, Elizabeth separated from the crowd and ran towards Martin.

Reporters had already seen the two sets of twins in the Olsen family, and one reporter immediately turned around to take pictures.

Elizabeth's smile was clean and sweet, and the reporters' mood improved.

Their fingers pressed the camera shutter harder.

Martin hurried towards Elizabeth, and Elizabeth ran over and hugged him regardless.

"You didn't even come to London to see me!" she complained deliberately.

Martin didn't explain much. He first sent the flowers to Elizabeth's hand, and then gave her a deep kiss.

When the long kiss ended, Elizabeth said nothing and just wanted to accompany Martin home.

But Martin couldn't just leave. He went over to greet the three Olsen siblings and asked for Elizabeth's luggage before getting into the Escalade driven by Old Boo.

In the car, Elizabeth was very concerned and asked: "Are the housekeepers, servants and chefs at home ready?"

Martin said: "Don't worry, we have everything we need."

Elizabeth said again: "Where do you think I went in London this time?"

Martin thought for a moment and asked, "Buckingham Palace?"

"Yes, Buckingham Palace!" Elizabeth was similar to most Americans in some aspects and seemed very excited: "I got to meet the Queen and the Crown Prince thanks to my two sisters."

Martin said: "50 years of being crown prince."

Elizabeth said: "It feels a bit like Thomas."

Martin wondered: "How does he look like Thomas?"

Elizabeth said seriously: "Forehead."

Martin and Bruce, who was driving, both laughed.

Returning to her home in Beverly Hills, Elizabeth first opened her backpack, took out a box, and handed it to Bruce: "A gift for you."

Bruce took it: "And my gift? You are much better than Martin. This bastard... well, he never gives me gifts."

Martin gave him a middle finger: "Because you are an ugly man."

Elizabeth just smiled, she knew how important Boo and Martin were to each other.

Back in Burbank Middle School, one dared to stay and risk his life to cut off the enemy, while the other dared to risk his life to save him.

Elizabeth even had a feeling that if Martin could only choose between her and Old Boo, Martin would definitely choose Old Boo.

Of course, she's not that stupid to ask such a stupid question.

Martin asked: "Don't I have a gift?"

Elizabeth jumped up and hung on him: "The gift has been delivered!"

Martin carried the person into the bedroom on the first floor.

Only then did Elizabeth realize that Martin had done so much secretly.

She thought for a while and asked, "Have you never held a housewarming party?"

Now that Elizabeth has moved in, Martin simply said: "The hostess is not at home all the time, how can we hold it?"

Elizabeth's smile grew brighter: "I'm back, why don't you ask your friends to bring their relatives and come to our place as guests?"

Martin remembered: "By the way, there are also neighbors. Let's take some time to visit them and send them invitations."

Elizabeth quickly got dressed and found the housekeeper Martin had recently hired to discuss hosting a party.

In this regard, there are professional companies in Hollywood. As long as they are willing to spend money, the host only needs to draw up a guest list.

In the afternoon, Martin and Elizabeth went to visit neighbors together.

One side of the houses on the left and right is on the market for sale, and people have been looking at the houses from time to time recently.

The Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron lives on the other side. She went out to film while Martin was renovating this place. She went out to film again before moving here, and she just came back recently.

Charlize was a little surprised to see Martin and Elizabeth visiting her.

"Sorry for the intrusion." Martin said with a smile: "A sister of mine came to visit before you went out to work last time."

Charlize accepted the red wine from Elizabeth and said, "I remember her, Lily, a beautiful and interesting girl."

Elizabeth said: "We have just officially moved here and are planning to hold a housewarming party over the weekend and would like to invite friends and neighbors to attend."

Charlize said with a smile: "As long as there is nothing special, I will go."

Compared with those American Oscar-winning actresses, her development after winning the Oscar was not smooth. After "The Devil Wears Prada", she was ambitious and wanted to hit the 20 million club, but her first film cut off this road.

Charlize Theron also wants to expand her network of contacts.

At this moment, a man came down the stairs. He was holding his pockets with one hand and holding on to the railing with the other. He asked, "Sally, are there any guests?"

"Our neighbor, Martin." Charlize introduced to Martin: "Stuart Townsend, my fiancé."

Martin extended an invitation to him again and duly took his leave.

Elizabeth followed Martin out of Charlize's house and said: "She is an actor I like very much. There was a stage when I thought she was extremely beautiful. I imagined that when I grow up, I would be satisfied if I could be half as beautiful as her."

Martin took Elizabeth's arm and said, "You are prettier than she is now."

"You are really good at talking." Elizabeth smiled: "Charlize is certified by Hawking. Even in infinite parallel universes, it is impossible for you to date Charlize Theron."

The two sides were not far apart. The two walked back home and asked someone to ask about the other side. The house there was still not sold.

The U.S. economy is in poor condition, Hollywood is widely short of money, the number of production starts is much lower than in previous years, and the luxury housing market in Los Angeles is also sluggish.

Martin originally only wanted to invite family and friends, but Nicholson suggested that he invite a few more old guys over, especially old white men like Warren Beatty.

The purpose is simple, the awards season has begun, and there is no harm in trying to make friends with old white men.

Martin did things simply and not only invited a large number of old white men, but also film critics headed by Kenneth Turan and Todd McCarthy.

In addition, he made a special trip to WMA and sent invitation letters to Ali Emmanuel, Jim Witt and others.

Naturally, Nolan and the crew of The Dark Knight are also indispensable.

Even David Fincher and Martin made the call himself.

The visitor will definitely give a small gift at least, and Martin asked Elizabeth to prepare a suitable gift in return. Cartier sponsored Martin with some trinkets.

This is a housewarming party, not canvassing for votes, so no one can say anything.

As for what to talk about at the party, that is up to the guests.

“The expenses are a little scary.”

In the living room, Elizabeth briefly made a budget and said: "The quality of drinks cannot be low. Although few people eat at this kind of party, we still need to prepare a sumptuous buffet and invite a band. The courtyard must be properly decorated, and there are labor costs..."

She said and calculated: "With less than three hundred thousand dollars, this party can't be held."

Martin said: "I don't know much about planning parties, just go ahead and I'll sign the bill."

Elizabeth looked at Martin and then at Bruce: "You really don't know how to prepare a party?"

Bruce said nothing, saying to himself that the party Martin was asked to prepare was not suitable for such an occasion.

He still remembered how Martin impressed Wes Craven with a unique party.

Martin is very modest: "When I plan a party, it will only become a simple and rough drinking party. Some of the old guys are not very good at drinking. I am afraid that they will make a fool of themselves when they get drunk."

Elizabeth said: "In the past, my sisters had to worry about planning parties at home, but it turned out to be so expensive."

Lily, who came in from outside, happened to hear what they said and came up with a random idea: "We can sell invitations to external parties. I often see some people in the college selling party invitations for famous artists or big stars. Depending on their fame and status, from one person to another Anywhere from a hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.”

She came near Martin: "With your level, a party invitation worth $5,000 a piece must be very popular."

Elizabeth shook her head and covered her face, unable to understand what was going on in Lily's brain.

She felt that many times, Lily was deliberately stimulating Martin.

Sure enough, Martin stood up, clenched his fists, and said, "Hold it, don't cry out that it hurts!"

"Hey, can you please be reasonable? I'm helping you with an idea." Lily's face was full of grievances: "My idea is not good, you can say it, don't hit people easily."

Martin sat down and said: "Although Labor Day has been more than a month ago, I decided to give you a supplementary gift, and for Thanksgiving next month, the gift will also be given to you in advance. Forget it, Christmas and New Year gifts are also Sent together."

Lily was very conscious and asked: "How many tons of horns?"

Martin said directly: "Old Bu, all the goods in stock of your import and export company will be given to Lily!"
