American fame and fortune

"Where did you do it?"

In the temporary set, Martin got the herring stone sent by Bruce and was quite curious: "Can you find someone to do this in this place?"

Bruce said: "I went to New York to meet Kim and Khloe a few days ago, and I also went to Chinatown to find someone to do it."

Martin opened the box next to him. All the herring stones were carefully polished, showing a very bright orange-red color. They were also carefully decorated into heart shapes and hung under the platinum chain.

Bruce added: "They originally wanted to use a black sling, but if you give it away, I think platinum is more suitable."

Martin suddenly sighed with emotion: "Too many horn carvings are given away, so it would be nice to give away specially heart-shaped stones."

He simply said: "Didn't you, Lily, Harris and others set up a company to purchase Australian horns? Purchase some of these stones along the Mississippi River and make them into heart-shaped pendants. I will give them away later."

Bruce asked: "Specially given to women?"

Martin picked up an orange-red stone and looked at it in the sun: "Don't you think only a beautiful woman can match such a beautiful stone?"

Bruce understood: "From your perspective, it shouldn't take much."

Martin packed several boxes, found Mene first, and gave him the largest one: "This is for you."

Mene opened it and took a look, curious: "Is this what was in the fish's head that day? It's really amazing. Next time I go to Las Vegas for vacation, I don't need to prepare any other gifts."

For Mr. May, it doesn’t matter whether the gift to Celine Dion is expensive or not, the key is its rarity.

Some rich people, especially billionaires, like to collect weird things.

Martin gave Léa Seydoux and Kate Upton one each.

Léa Seydoux walked into the set to familiarize herself with the moves, without taking a closer look.

Kate Upton directly put it on her neck, pushed it into the valley, squeezed it out again, and said quickly: "Master, is there your blessing on it?"

Martin responded casually: "With the blessing of the Coca-Cola Cult."

"Great!" Kate Upton stuffed it back: "I will definitely wear it next to my body."

Martin smiled and went to the temporary resting place on the set.

Because of the deep personal relationship between Martin and Charlize, the male and female protagonists' lounge chairs are always placed together.

Charlize asked: "I see you are giving out gifts. Do you have any for me?"

Martin took out a box and handed it to her: "This is yours."

Charlize was not polite, and then touched it: "It looks a bit like amber, and it's still heart-shaped. Martin, you are casting a wide net."

Martin is so thick-skinned: "You can only catch a mermaid if you cast the net wide enough."

Charlize put away the box, took out his notebook and jotted it down.

Martin said: "Can you save some face for me and record it in front of me..."

Charlize said: "Of course the scumbag's quotes must be recorded in front of the scumbag."

The set was about to start shooting, and the two stopped talking.

Léa Seydoux's two scenes were shot quickly.

Martin and Charlize are back in action.

The filming of today's scene went particularly smoothly, and before three o'clock in the afternoon, David Fincher announced that the filming was over.

With the filming of Finding Amy set to begin next week, Martin specially called David Fincher, producer Danu and publicity executive Dixon for a meeting.

In the office, Martin had someone turn on the projector and project a promotional plan produced by the studio according to his intentions.

He told David Fincher: "Before we started filming, we discussed the shooting of the search for Amy."

David Fincher is not good at publicity and hype. He just said: "I agree with your plan."

Danu and Dixon both looked towards the projection screen.

Martin turned on the laser pointer, pointed at the content on the screen and said: "The studio has sent out invitations to many media, many well-known bloggers, and social media experts to participate in the search for Amy. This week they will People from all over the country are coming to Cape Girardeau to join the search for Amy next week."

Danu asked: "Will they cover the whole thing?"

Martin nodded: "Not only will we report the whole process, but David and I will also allow them to use their mobile phones and handheld devices to take pictures and update their blogs or other social media at any time."

Dixon interjected: "I have contacted the local people. There may be thousands of local people participating in search activities and filming."

David Fincher reminded: "Don't forget, everyone who participates needs to sign a liability agreement. I don't want a large number of shots with faces to be unusable during post-editing."

"That's been well communicated," Dixon said.

Martin said: "We need to create momentum for the event. Where is the police station in the town?"

Dixon added: "We have sponsored several police cars for them. In addition to the necessary left-behind officers, the other police officers will cooperate and join in the search for Amy."

If the novel hadn't been published yet, or wasn't famous enough, the crew could have created a viral campaign for Finding Amazing Amy.

But "Gone Girl" has been on the New York Times bestseller list for so long. People who have read the novel can easily figure out what happened when they read the relevant reports.

This publicity and marketing might as well be more direct.

Martin, Danu and Dixon discussed it, and David Fincher's speech was more from the perspective of making a movie.

Publicity and marketing will certainly not affect the normal filming.

In the following week, the town where the crew was stationed became really lively, with hundreds of entertainment journalists, bloggers and social media experts arriving one after another.

To the surprise of the crew, many fans of Martin and Charlize Theron, as well as fans of the original novels, also came to Cape Girardeau.

For a time, all the hotels in the town were full.

News about the cast of "Gone Girl" can be seen everywhere on blogs, entertainment websites and social media.

On Monday morning, as the sun just rose, thousands of people outside the town divided into several areas, lined up horizontally, and launched a dragnet-style search.

Because they had communicated in advance, the reporters put on the vests of their newspaper offices, set up cameras and video cameras, and were free to shoot anywhere except where the crew was.

Entertainment bloggers were holding smartphones one by one, constantly capturing the scene, and the newly captured photos and videos were uploaded to the website as soon as possible.

While social media experts are searching for photos, they also don’t forget to communicate with fans in the comment section.

Unfortunately, the current network and mobile terminals are not powerful enough. Although there are already some live broadcast websites in North America, it is difficult to live broadcast on mobile devices.

The residents of the town were very involved in the search and filming. They were very excited about the possibility of appearing in a movie shot by a major Hollywood director.

Even if it's just Martin's background, it's enough to show off for a lifetime.

What's more, many of them are followers of the Coca-Cola Cult.

Even the police in the small town were fully equipped and went into battle in a orderly manner.

All the vests prepared by the crew to search for Amy were distributed, and the number was naturally far from enough.

Martin and David Fincher discussed briefly and simply let the Coca-Cola Cult appear directly in the movie shots.

Those who don't have vests can wear Coke God's cultural shirts.

Coca-Cola’s millions of dollars in advertising sponsorships are certainly not free.

Martin, the leader, is also actively promoting his organization.

Before noon, Gone Girl and Finding Amazing Amy were all over the internet.

Thousands of people attended, many media and bloggers participated, and it was a collaboration between Martin and David Fincher. It exploded in traffic that day.

Related blog posts, tweets and discussions are everywhere on the internet.

"Where is Amazing Amy?"

"Thousands of people gathered in Cape Girardeau to search for Amy."

"A comprehensive analysis of scumbag Dunn and paranoid Amy!"

“It’s terrifying to think about it, what will happen if a scumbag cheats and his girlfriend finds out?”

Obviously, some male media reporters or bloggers are using this method to yin and yang with the famous Hollywood scumbag Martin Davis.

David Fincher only shot this search for Amy for one day, but the impact lasted for a long time.

In any case, the popularity that the crew wanted was achieved. After many entertainment reporters came here, they simply did not leave and continued to follow the crew to shoot and report.

There are wonderful gossips here. Martin Davis has an obviously unusual relationship with the three actresses on the crew, and indescribable stories often unfold with two of them.

There are big-name directors in Hollywood, and everyone knows that David Fincher wants to win the Oscar for Best Director.

There is also a best-selling author. With the attention generated by this event, "Gone Girl" surpassed all opponents in the latest best-seller list and topped the list!

Gillian Flynn has attracted much attention and has become a darling in the eyes of the media.

Her divorce experience, her creative process, and her past relationship with Martin were all dug up by media reporters.

There is no doubt that a novel that tops the bestseller list for two consecutive weeks is enough to create a star author.

Gillian Flynn's reputation can be transformed into actual commercial gains through her works.

Although McDonald from Warner Pictures disguised himself as a media reporter, quietly came to Cape Girardeau, and secretly negotiated the adaptation rights of "Darkland" with Gillian Flynn and her agent. , but the news still reached Martin's ears.

This is, after all, a Davis Studio-led project.

Many Hollywood production crews hire people after they are formed. The composition of the crew has always been complicated, but some people prefer Warner's side, and there are also people who prefer Martin, the leader of the crew.

Someone quietly passed the message to Bruce, who in turn passed it on to Martin.

Martin asked: "Do you know how much it cost Warner to acquire the rights?"

Bruce shook his head: "He only occasionally heard Gillian and her agent discussing it. It seemed that the initial offer for the basic copyright fee was US$3.5 million."

"As expected of Warner." Martin praised: "He has a lot of money!"
