American Fame and Fortune Chapter 142

Chapter 142 Menei is angry

 After receiving a call from his agent, Martin left the director's office and found Thomas in the hall.

 The two of them left the studio and chatted while walking along the sidewalk of the studio.

Thomas talked about the outcome of the meeting and roughly described the proposals of the other two agents: "It's not necessary for Eliza. The crew won't push it. What about Paris?"

"It's not necessary." Martin said simply: "Her reputation is too bad now, it will affect me, and it will cause a stink all over her body."

 Thomas had a similar view: “I'll call Steve soon.”

Martin warned: "As for Eliza, I broke up with her peacefully. If there are any promotional activities, you should communicate with her agent in advance. I don't want to have any conflicts with her."

Thomas wrote it down and reminded him: "The second salary of US$100,000 for the Jeans crew has arrived in the company's account and will be sent to you soon."

The two films Jeans and The Mountain Has Eyes can bring Martin a total of US$850,000 in salary, 10% of which belongs to the agency.

With money, Martin felt his back hardened: "You have a lot of commission, right? Have a party someday to celebrate?"

Ten percent was a commission from the agency, and Thomas didn't get that much, but including the wax museum, he earned more than $50,000 from the three films, so he decided to be generous: "Wait a little longer, wait until all the salary is paid, I'm throwing a big party to celebrate.”

More than just celebrating, Thomas also wanted to show off his strength and connect emotionally with his superiors. He asked Martin: "If you have any specific requirements, tell me. You're welcome."

"Then I'm not welcome." Martin said deliberately: "Dozens of young and beautiful female models can't be less, right? Swimsuits or pajamas are a must, and then we can come up with some new tricks..."

 Thomas quickly shouted to stop: "Wait a minute, for such a party, I will go to at least half of my commission."

 Martin once again put on a considerate attitude: "Forget it, it's okay to invite a few more beauties, right?"

 Thomas breathed a sigh of relief and felt more and more that Martin was someone he could get along with: "There are a lot of young actors in the company."

Martin had a bad idea: "You can sell them tickets. An invitation to the famous agent Thomas's party costs $50. It's a rare opportunity."

Thomas said: "If I were a star, I could sell a copy for $100."

 The two walked around, and Martin called Louise. He would not go to her place that night and was going to meet up with Zomi-Sierra.

Thomas specially warned: "You don't have the capital to be high-profile yet. Don't tell people casually about your salary, especially corporate clients and people you can come into contact with. Most people will not congratulate you, let alone praise you, they will only set you up." Obstacles keep you on the same level as them.”

Martin has experienced too many similar things in his previous life, and said: "I understand that it is hard to see people around you suffering, but it is even more difficult to see people around you living better than yourself."

Thomas said: "That's the mentality."

Martin returned to the Wax Museum Studio, met up with Zomi who was off work, and went to Sunset Boulevard together with Wes Craven and Alexander Aja. They had dinner at a Brazilian barbecue restaurant, and then went to a newly opened luxury nightclub.

 Wes Craven said: "Martin invites you to dinner, and I treat you here."

 The old man bought four tickets worth 300 US dollars each: "Let's go, I want the front row seat."

 Martin is familiar with this industry and asked: “Are tickets so expensive?”

 Even in Los Angeles, tickets can cost 100 US dollars, which is considered a very high-end venue.

The four people walked inside. Since they arrived earlier, there were not many people in the nightclub, so they found a seat near the middle of the stage and sat down.

Ajia asked a similar question to Martin: "Are there any female celebrities coming to perform tonight? Although Striptease is a bad movie, Demi Moore is really good."

Martin said: "Too old, unless she's willing to pay for it."

"You are so shameless." Craven laughed: "Do you know how much Columbia Pictures paid Demi Moore to star in the movie? $12 million!"

Zomi looks honest and introverted, but is actually a slut: "Actually, you can do it without spending money. I heard a rumor that after Demi Moore divorced last year, she got a new boyfriend. It is said that they like threesomes."

 Martin deliberately persuaded: "Zomi, I really recommend that you don't try it, you will be in danger."

 Craven and Aja both laughed.

Zomi said very seriously: "I often feel out of tune with you, and now I'm sure it's me, because I'm not a pervert."

 Martin waved to the waiter, ordered a drink, and returned to the topic: "Wes, you haven't said why yet?"

Craven said: "Tonight is Dita Von Teese's performance."

　　Martin has heard this name: “America's number one stripper?”

 “That's her,” Craven said.

 Zomi was confused: “I haven't seen any posters or publicity.”

Craven said: "Those who can get the news will naturally know that she is coming. There is no need for posters."

The four people chatted for a while, and more people entered the room, including many Hollywood celebrities.

 Martin saw Marilyn Manson, Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt, among others.

The performance soon began, with DitVontes clearly combining classical dance, burlesque and striptease.

 It does look different.

 After the performance, the four of them used Craven to brush their faces and went backstage to try to ask someone out.

Zomi, a slut, almost got into a fight with Marilyn Manson who was guarding the locker room when he asked for his contact information.

Marilyn Manson is in a relationship with that stripper.

The four of them were frustrated and had no choice but to change their goals and go to the VIP room on the second floor to enjoy the lap dance.

In a Los Angeles shopping mall, Evan, a reporter from a gossip tabloid, is randomly interviewing passers-by, targeting young people under the age of 25.

 Evan stopped a girl, introduced himself quickly, gave a pen as a small gift, and asked: "Do you know Paris Hilton? What do you think of her?"

 The girl nodded: "Of course I know, a spoiled bad girl, a nuisance."

Evan asked again: "If she was killed in a movie, would you watch it?"

"Really?" the girl asked with surprise: "What movie? I know, the horror movie she acted in, was it about torture and murder? I like to watch her being tortured and killed!"

Evan said: “You will know when you go and see it.”

The girl left quickly, and Evan stopped the next target.

For half a morning, he randomly asked more than 20 young people. They all knew Paris Hilton, and everyone hated Paris Hilton. Sixty percent of them expressed interest in a movie that killed Paris's character. .

"Because she was rich, her original sentence was changed to residential surveillance. Later, she was sentenced to 45 days in prison for a three-year crime. The media reported that she wrote a letter to Schwarzenegger. She did so many bad things but did not She should be punished as she deserves, and I hope to see her brutally tortured in the movie! That's not possible in reality.”

“Look at the reports in the media. That Bichi was in jail and had better housing and food than us. She acted in a horror movie and was killed in the horror movie? This is a good idea. I'm going to check it out.”

 Similar random surveys have occurred on the streets of Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta and Chicago.

 On the Internet, there are also several websites that conduct sample voting.

ˆ Relevant summary results were quickly received by the crew.

Parker reported to Susan Levin immediately: "Random sampling survey results show that nearly 50% of young people like to see Paris Hilton's character killed in the movie, and they also hope to be tortured."

Susan said: "The sampling rate is already very high."

Parker agreed: "For an R-rated horror film, it's really not low."

Susan made the decision: "Launch as planned."

Parker contacted the media and prepared to push advertising soft articles and posters for "Horror House of Wax Museum".

Susan called Martin and wanted to talk to Kim Kardashian in person.

 Martin did not come forward. After contacting Bruce, Bruce took Kim Kardashian to Warner Studios and entered Susan's office.

Subsequently, the speed of Kim Kardashian's revelations slowed down slightly, but the contents of the revelations appeared in more media.

With the huge investment of funds from the production team, even Warner's "Entertainment Weekly" opened a column dedicated to publishing gossip about Paris.

Aim to further stigmatize it.

 This is what all media is doing.

Warner Television began planning the Kardashian interview to be aired when the film was about to be released.

 Kardashian only needs to focus on one thing in the next month: to regularly expose Paris's information.

 Compared to Bruce, who is new to the entertainment industry, the professionals on the crew have better rhythm control.

 At the same time, the crew released the first trailer.

 In just one minute of content, the camera basically focuses on the three characters of Eliza, Martin and Paris. Among them, Paris is being hunted down.

  The crew also released the main promotional poster.

There are also three personal posters.

 A poster for Martin and Eliza, a poster for the wax figure and his brother.

 The two posters have the same title—Twins Showdown!

 The other one is Paris's solo poster.

On top is a fresh wax figure lying on the workbench.

The flowing wax wraps around the person, but it also makes people recognize that this is Paris Hilton.

Poster title—Perverted demon brutally kills.

 The twin showdown caused some backlash, but Paris's poster was immediately forwarded by countless media outlets, websites and blogs.

There is no way, Paris in jail is too hot.

 Don't talk about people like Martin who have only a little bit of fame.

Even Eliza, who caused a wave of craze in "Neighborhood" this summer, can't compare to her.

The crew also broke the news that Paris actively teased a kangaroo during filming, which almost caused her and another black actor to be injured.

 It is too common to create and release false news when promoting movies.

　　When the popularity of the poster subsided, Kim Kardashian jumped out again and revealed a lot of secrets about Paris during the filming, such as paying men to vent.

The personal assistant's betrayal is really scary.

 Since Martin had discussed it with Mene and his agent in advance, Kim Kardashian directly mentioned Mene's name.

 Uncle Mene suddenly became popular.
