American fame and fortune

Las Vegas, MGM Plaza.

After the media and fan meeting ended, Martin left the event and quietly took Bruce to the back door of the hotel.

A black Rolls-Royce Phantom was waiting in front of the door.

Seeing Martin and Bruce coming out, Mene quickly got out of the car, opened the door and asked them to get in: "Let's get going before the reporters come."

Martin got into the car, looked at it for a while, and said, "This car is good."

Bruce closed the car door and said, "The brand new Phantom is a limited edition. It's not cheap."

Mene asked the driver to drive first, and then said: "I don't know the specific price. This is Celine's birthday gift to me."

Bruce was envious: "No woman has ever given me such an expensive birthday gift."

"I'm going to give Kim and Khloe a call," Martin said.

Mene continued: "And Jodi! Old Bu, with your ability, as long as you show a little bit of interest, they will definitely come to your door."

Martin agreed: "I don't know about others, but Jodi will definitely give it away."

Bruce said blankly: "Then my pelvis shattered."

Mene and Martin laughed.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom entered the Sumlin District, quickly turned into a manor, and stopped in front of a European-style villa.

Martin and Bruce got out of the car and followed Mene into the villa.

Celine Dion was waiting at the entrance of the living room and said hello: "Hi, Martin; Hi, Boo."

When Menei came over, she took Menei's arm and said, "Welcome to our new home."

Martin handed the gifts he brought to the butler next to him, followed Menet and Celine Dion inside, and looked around the living room. This house was definitely newly renovated, probably no more than a year old.

Mene and Celine Dion did not invite other guests and entertained Martin and Bruce exclusively.

In front of friends, Celine Dion always gives Mene face, looking like she is completely dominated by Mene.

Martin and Bruce didn't stay long. There was a media event tomorrow. After dinner and chatting for a while, they left.

Mene and Celine Dion were like host and hostess, sending the two people into the car.

Go back to the hotel and take the elevator upstairs.

In the special elevator, there were only two people, Martin and Bruce.

Bruce couldn't help but sigh: "The fake winner in life - Martin's real winner in life - Mene!"

Martin sighed: "When we were in Atlanta, if I had Uncle Mene's skills, why would I be so tired now?"

"You can live like Scott," Bruce said.

Hearing the name Scott, Martin thought of his old friend Sophia and said, "Old Boo, you have a more personal experience."

Bruce really wanted to slap himself, why did he mention Sophia?

Martin didn't let him go: "For Denis Villeneuve's "Sicario," I'm going to raise funds from Wu Mao Ting and Beast House Entertainment. You can go and talk about Beast House."

Bruce said: "I am your bodyguard."

"No, you are my manager." Martin exited the elevator cheerfully.

After staying in Las Vegas for two days, the crew moved to San Francisco.

At the same time, "The Bitch" spent its second weekend in North American theaters.

In May, when the summer season begins, heavyweight movies are released basically every weekend.

Twentieth Century Fox's "Star Trek 2" is a blockbuster hit, opening at the top of the box office with $70.15 million.

"The City" fell to second place, but the trend was stable enough, earning $35.87 million the next weekend.

Including weekday revenue, the film's North American box office successfully exceeded US$100 million.

However, compared with the North American box office of US$112 million, the film was released in more than a dozen overseas markets in Europe and Latin America this week, and the response was relatively average, with only US$18.92 million in revenue.

San Francisco, Bay Area.

Martin sat in front of the window of the seaside restaurant and looked ahead. The Golden Gate Bridge was brightly lit at night.

From this place, you can enjoy the scenery of most of the Bay Area.

Elon Musk on the other side said: "I have good news for you."

Martin looked away and said, "Are you going to marry Amber Heard?"

"How is it possible!" Musk was very clear-headed: "Let's go back to playing, help to help, marry her? Absolutely impossible!"

He returned to the topic: "Your investment in Tesla has nearly tripled its stock price."

Martin picked up the wine glass: "Congratulations to us."

Musk clinked glasses with him, took a sip of wine, and said in his usual style: "This is all because of my good management."

Martin has benefited greatly and doesn't mind complimenting him: "Elon, you bastard is a business genius. Try to become the richest man in the world as soon as possible."

Musk's smiling face trembled on both sides: "You will be the richest man in Hollywood by then."

"I hope so." Martin certainly wouldn't mind having too much money.

Musk asked: "Hasn't Nolan's "Interstellar" been notified of filming yet?"

Martin said: "I haven't received a call to join the team yet, and it won't be until June at the earliest."

He remembered something: "I introduced your ex-wife Tanlula to the crew. She should play a supporting role of some importance."

"Thanks." Musk toasted Martin and said, "I will also appear on the set then."

Martin asked: "You're going to have a cameo too?"

Musk said: "Part of the sponsorship agreement, the role belongs to a researcher at the joint command of NASA and SpaceX. I estimate that I have a few lines. With Nolan's director's style, I may have a few seconds of footage and lines in the final film. ...They should all be cut off."

"Want to play a role with lines?" Martin sharpened his knife: "I have several film projects here. Elon, you are welcome to sponsor them."

Musk said: "Do you have any other movies that go into space or have future science fiction movies?"

Martin shook his head: "Not for the time being. Most of the films shot next year and the year after will be schizophrenic..."

"You also want to follow the trend of Hollywood?" Musk asked: "Do those weird characters?"

Martin knew what he meant and just shook his head.

The two chatted while eating, and towards the end of the dinner, Musk suggested: "In the second half of this year or the first half of next year, I may hold a wedding, and you will be my best man."

"Are you sure?" Martin said directly: "I will steal all your limelight."

Musk is full of confidence: "Bill Gates and Warren Buffett can't steal my limelight even if they appear together."

Martin was confused: "No, you said just now that you would not marry Amber Heard."

"That's right, I won't marry her." Musk was just joking: "In a few months, I will be tired of it, and I will break up with Amber, and then go back to Tanlula and talk to Tanlu Remarry."

Martin looked at the fat white man carefully and wondered, "Are you having fun playing like this?" He shook his head: "I don't understand what you are thinking."

Musk did not answer, but said: "There is one more thing. Let me tell you solemnly. It is certain that Tanlula and I will remarry. If you have been with her before, we will break it off starting tonight. Don't do it again." There are super-friendship relationships, and there are so many female stars in Hollywood who are engaged or married, and it’s easy to hook them up and make them cheat on you with your charm and skills.”

Martin's expression did not change, he was too lazy to distinguish, and said: "Don't worry, except when I met you, Tanlula and I have never met each other."

Musk said casually: "It doesn't matter what she does outside of marriage. I don't care."

The two then chatted some more about Tesla investments.

Tesla has entered a period of rapid development, and its stock price has been rising recently. However, it is not easy for investors like Martin to get another investment share.

Los Angeles, Beverly Hills Century City.

Ryan Reynolds took the elevator from the Fox Tower to the first floor carrying a large briefcase.

Agent Cowell, who was waiting on the first floor, came up to him, took the briefcase, and asked: "How is the progress?"

Ryan Reynolds did not speak. Instead, he went to Starbucks on the same floor, ordered two cups of coffee, found a place to sit down, and said: "Little stars have no human rights, and no one takes their words seriously."

He opened his briefcase and took out a bound book of posters, advertisements and creative plans. The cover showed a man holding two swords and wearing a red hood.

This is the look of Deadpool in "The Wolverine" starring Ryan Reynolds.

Cowell said: "The reality is that if the popular superstar proposed it, Fox executives would have met long ago to discuss it."

Ryan Reynolds has wanted to promote the project of Deadpool's personal movie since last year, but the film and television rights of the X-Men are in the hands of 20th Century Fox, and he has been unable to convince Fox executives.

Cowell looked around and saw no one around, so he asked in a low voice: "They are not interested in the party you proposed?"

Ryan Reynolds was quite helpless: "I mentioned a few things in private, but they didn't answer at all." He pounded the table: "I really want to give people benefits, but there is no way."

Cowell said: "If you don't have certain connections and have not reached a certain level in the circle, sometimes you can't even give out gifts."

Ryan Reynolds lowered his voice and asked his agent: "Are you sure they like smaller ones?"

"This is unmistakable. There have been rumors in the industry for a long time, and I asked someone to confirm it. They like it." Cowell thought about the problem: "Once this kind of thing breaks out, it will be very troublesome. They don't treat you enough." Trust, even if we deliver someone to their door, they won’t want it.”

Ryan Reynolds thought it made sense and asked: "What should we do? Do you have any other ideas?"

Kewell thought for a long time and said: "It would be much better to find an intermediary they trust enough to issue an invitation."

Ryan asked: "Is there such a person?"

Kewell took a sip of coffee and said, "Yes, have you heard of Michelle Bryan?"

"That famous madam?" Ruian not only heard about it, but also found it from her.

"She is deeply trusted by people in the industry and is said to be involved in this aspect of the business," Cowell said.

Ryan couldn't wait any longer: "Contact her quickly."

"It can be expensive," Cowell said.

Thinking of the bleak future, Ruian decided to take a chance: "I still have some money in my hand, but it's not enough to sell the house!"
