American fame and fortune

Chapter 759 Middlemen make the difference

After finishing the bank scene, the crew moved to the streets of Boston and filmed some outdoor scenes.

In a bustling metropolis, shooting location scenes is more troublesome. It requires coordination with local government departments, the flow of traffic and people, and the time period.

In Charleston, an outdoor cafe was booked by the crew for a whole day to shoot two scenes.

Martin, Alexandra Daddario and Jeremy Renner appeared one after another, chatting and testing around the coffee table.

Villeneuve would call stop from time to time and come over personally to guide the three of them.

"You are not in the right state, you have problems with your emotions and expressions!" Villeneuve stared at Alexandra and emphasized: "Lessie, the relationship between your character and the hero is not between the robber and the hostage. That inexplicable feeling, you didn’t know Martin was a robber! You thought this was a perfect love!”

He directly pointed out the mistake made by Alexandra: "What you showed was an emotion like Stockholm syndrome!"

Hearing this, Alexandra subconsciously retorted: "I didn't! Absolutely not!"

Villeneuve stared at her.

Alexandra blinked her ice-blue eyes, looked at Martin, and asked, "Do I have one?"

Villeneuve pointed out the problem: "The way you look now, combined with your appearance, is like a patient with Stockholm syndrome."

Martin looked at Alexandra briefly and said: "Don't open your eyes too wide, don't blink too frequently, and try to maintain a calm state."

Villeneuve responded: "Let's try again."

Alexandra adjusted her mentality and emotions slightly and said, "I can do it."

The filming started again, Martin and Jeremy Renner kept performing online, and Alexandra gradually found the feeling after adjusting.

A large number of fans and reporters gradually gathered outside the temporary studio.

Producer Graham King briefly communicated with Villeneuve and Martin, and waited until the end of filming to give a brief interview to media reporters.

The filming of the film has started, so publicity and promotion naturally have to keep up.

After lunch, Martin was in the cafe and accepted a joint interview with reporters from more than a dozen media outlets.

One of the blond female reporters was the first to ask: "Hi Martin, I am Peffer, a reporter from the Boston Globe. Why did you choose such a movie set in Boston?"

The Boston Globe is the largest newspaper in Massachusetts. The original novel of the film has been published for a long time. Martin smiled and said, "I filmed "The Departed" in Boston. I really like this city with such profound heritage. After seeing the original novel, Later, the origin of the hero also resonated with me because I had a similar experience, growing up in the slums of Atlanta, and I just missed going astray.”

Another reporter immediately answered: "Do you know where the wrong path is?"

"A lot of the people I grew up with in my neighborhood joined gangs," Martin shrugged.

His tone was slightly heavy: "Many of them passed away just after they reached adulthood..."

"I'm sorry," the reporter said.

Martin shook his head, as if to get rid of some emotion, and said: "I faced choices and struggles at that time, just like the male protagonist of this novel, they were all the painful struggles of a man."

Many reporters had read the original work and nodded when they heard Martin's words.

Martin continued: "We are all trapped in a place at a specific time period, desperately trying to escape, and trying every means to change our lives. This subject is so attractive to me, and in my opinion, many People can relate to it, especially coming out of a criminal environment."

There are also people among journalists who come from lower classes and know how difficult it is to escape from such an environment in the United States.

There are countless people around you who want to drag you into the abyss.

He said, "Martin, you did it."

Martin smiled: "I hope more people across the United States can succeed."

The brief joint interview ended, and extensive related reports began on the Internet media that afternoon.

"The Robbers, the painful struggle of Martin Davis!"

"Martin Davis' new film is once again set in Boston."

"Women use stockings to conquer men, Martin Davis uses stockings to conquer banks!"

The media news further increased the film's popularity and made more people aware that a new Martin film was being filmed.

The crew's publicity naturally goes beyond that.

During a break from filming in the afternoon, Graham chatted with Martin for a while.

"We are helping Chuck Hogan run an award." He told Martin: "The Hammett Award issued by the International Crime Writers Association has a certain influence in the fiction circle."

Martin fully agrees: "The original work is more well-known, and the movie adaptation will benefit accordingly. I will contact Disney Pictures on this matter and ask Disney to assist the crew."

"That way we can be more certain," Graham said.

Martin asked for a cell phone from Bruce and immediately called Jessica to ask her to communicate with Disney Pictures on related matters.

After these negotiations were completed, Martin returned to the temporary set outside and continued to participate in filming.

After a morning of adjustments, Daddario's condition improved significantly, and the filming went smoothly in the afternoon. All scenes were filmed before four o'clock, and the crew was able to finish work early.

After Martin took off his makeup and got off the trailer, he was about to get in the car when a girl suddenly appeared next to him.

She has the same long brown-black hair as Daddario, but her light blue eyes are much darker, and her breasts are not on the same level.

"Hey Martin, remember me?"

"You are..." Martin certainly remembered, but he deliberately pondered for a moment: "I remembered, you are Catherine. I met you several times when I was filming "John Wick" in New York a few years ago."

Catherine's light blue eyes narrowed with a smile: "It's me, it's me! We even took a photo together. At that time, many classmates were envious that I could take a photo with you."

Martin asked: "I heard from your sister that you are also an actor?"

Most of Catherine's smile disappeared: "Yeah, I saw her become a big star smoothly, so I thought this industry would be easy to get along with, so I became an actress, but in the end I could only play a few marginal roles."

Martin recalled the limited interactions with his sister and said: "The competition in this industry is very fierce. It is not easy for your sister to succeed."

"She can succeed, why can't I succeed?" Catherine said: "I am no worse than her."

Martin smiled and said nothing.

Catherine looked at Martin, suddenly realized, and said: "I understand why she succeeded! She succeeded not because of her ability, but because of your support!"

The more she thought about it, the more certain she became: "Martin, you are the key to her success!"

Martin just didn't say that: "Your view is wrong. First of all, your sister has outstanding talent. Most people simply don't have her talent..."

Daddario's eyes and figure are extremely rare in Hollywood.

Although it can't be said that the details are fruitful, Alexandra is small in the places where it should be small, and the places where it should be big are just right, and its shape and color are all top-notch.

If you don’t believe it, you can become a “True Detective”.

Catherine took a step forward and said, "My talent is also very good, really."

Martin didn't answer.

Alexandra Daddario is running this way.

When she started running, the earth seemed to shake.

Catherine also saw her sister and curled her lips slightly. Who doesn't know these little tricks to attract men?

It's just...it's just that when she runs, she's not as amazing and eye-catching as Alexandra.

Alexandra saw her sister when she got off the trailer. She ran to Martin as fast as she could, hugged his left arm, looked at Catherine opposite, and asked: "When did you arrive? Why didn't you give it to me?" Call up?"

Seeing that Martin's arms were wrapped, Catherine felt a little jealous of her sister's talent, and said angrily: "You were filming, and I called you. Can you pick me up at the airport?"

Alexandra asked: "What's the matter with you? You came here from New York to quarrel with me?"

Catherine said: "No, no." She turned around and hugged her sister's arm: "I came here specifically to please you and let you help me find some roles."

Alexandra glanced at Martin secretly and said, "I'll keep an eye out for you."

Martin did not participate in the back-and-forth fight between the sisters. They fought over and over again to claim sisterly affection. When he got involved, the nature changed.

Catherine restrained herself from looking at Martin and cursed: "If you don't tell me, I will know that all the roles you can find come from Martin."

Martin pulled Alexandra: "Let's go back to the hotel, and I'll treat you to dinner."

Catherine seemed like a simple fan girl: "Okay, can I take a photo with you during the meal? Those bitches will definitely be jealous to death!"

Martin smiled: "Of course."

The three of them got into the Escalade that Bruce drove and returned to the hotel where the crew stayed.

After consulting the Daddario sisters, Martin treated them to a French meal that evening.

While Martin went to the bathroom, Catherine whispered: "Are you staying in a suite? Should I stay in your room at night?"

Alexandra generously took out the room card and handed it to her sister: "It has the room number on it. You can just go there by yourself after dinner."

Catherine is not stupid: "You blatantly lived with Martin on the set?"

"Is this weird?" Alexandra said, "I have a high-quality life every day, and I feel refreshed and in good working condition the next day."

She pinched her cheek and said, "Have you noticed that my skin condition is better?"

Catherine didn't need to look closely to see that her sister was as gorgeous as if she was only twenty years old.

Alexandra said proudly: "Martin specially provides me with high-protein seafood, whoever uses it will say the best."

"Really?" Catherine said sarcastically: "Be careful if you eat too much and become allergic, it may make it difficult to breathe!"

When Alexandra saw Martin coming back, she stopped talking and took the initiative to change the topic.

The three of them were chatting and laughing together, and the atmosphere seemed very good.

After dinner, Alexandra followed Martin directly to his suite.

Catherine went to Alexandra's room alone and sat on the sofa drinking water. She felt very unhappy thinking about those characters from Martin and the middleman Alexandra making the difference.

I hate middlemen who take commissions the most.
