American Fame and Fortune Chapter 151

 Chapter 151 The morals and bottom line of celebrities

The night breeze was blowing, and Martin and Annie walked out of the Avalon Bar together, laughing and joking all the way.

 Anne and others drank two more drinks, their faces flushed.

“You came here with the crew and stayed in the hotel?” Martin had already found out clearly that these three people were about to participate in the filming of "Pretty Woman" and asked: "You have been drinking. I will take you back to the hotel?"

Anne pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It's not a good idea to let you go."

Martin said: "I can't let you call for a taxi again. If this gets out, I will be said to be ungentlemanly." He deliberately joked: "Annie, you must consider my reputation."

 The three of them were completely decided by Anne. She thought about it carefully and nodded slightly: "Martin, I'll trouble you."

There were many people at the door at this time, so Martin protected Anne in a gentlemanly manner and walked toward the car.

 Avalon is a nightclub often frequented by Hollywood stars, and there are bound to be reporters and paparazzi stationed there at night.

Martin faintly heard the sound of the camera shutter, and immediately further displayed his gentlemanly behavior and moved closer to Anne to block the people coming from the side.

Anne saw Martin taking the initiative to block people for her, and smiled and nodded.

 This man is indeed very personable.

 When he came to the car, Martin pulled away the co-pilot and blocked the roof of the car with his hand.

 Just as Annie lowered her head to go to the car, two paparazzi rushed over and took photos at close range.

 Martin waited for the flash light to come on, closed the car door as soon as possible, quickly walked around to the driver's seat, got in the car and left quickly.

 He believes in the professionalism of the paparazzi in Los Angeles.

The paparazzi didn't disappoint him either. There were several motorcycles hanging at the back.

 Compared to when she was in Avalon, Anne seemed to be under the influence of alcohol and was slightly silent.

Arriving at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Martin parked the car and sent the three of them into the hotel lobby.

The shutter of the paparazzi's camera was ringing again behind me.

Before entering the elevator, Annie took the initiative and said: "Just send it here, and you should go back and rest early."

 Martin was very personable: "Good night and sweet dreams."

 Anne smiled and nodded, and entered the elevator with her two companions.

　　Martin looked at the time and did not leave immediately. He went to the nearby clothing store and walked around. He bought a sports sweatshirt and a new jacket to change into, and also put on a baseball cap.

 Being bored, Martin chatted on the phone with Louise and Kelly for a while, and sent Bruce a text message, telling him that he would go back to the apartment directly.

Nearly two hours later, Martin slipped out of the Hilton Hotel with his hat brim lowered, and was captured by the paparazzi.

Jody, the online entertainment reporter who was following Martin recently, kept filming until Martin drove away, and then put away the camera.

She paid special attention to the time. Martin and Anne went back to the hotel together. The former came out two hours later. When he came out, he changed his clothes and wore a hat. What did it mean?

 For a gossip reporter, these are enough to write a short essay of 30,000 words.

Jody determined that Martin and Anne had an unusual relationship and were most likely hooking up.

 The gossip of two people combined will attract more attention than that of one person.

Jody got on his motorcycle, saw Martin driving back to the apartment, and immediately went home to work on the manuscript.

At almost the same time, photos of Martin and Anne Hathaway frequently appeared on the gossip news trading market. Many paparazzi exchanged the newly-taken photos for tens to hundreds of dollars.

 I don't know how many text journalists have started to look at pictures and write articles.

 At the Hilton Hotel, Laura, who had the best relationship, accompanied Annie back to the room.

“A pleasant night.” Laura had a very good impression of Martin: “I didn't expect to meet such an interesting and handsome guy.”

Anne was also in a good mood. She kicked off her high heels and sat on the sofa. She took her mobile phone and opened the missed calls, and noted the name of Martin Davis on a number.

 Laura came over and sat next to her: "Have you noticed that he is interested in you?"

 Anne tilted her head, but did not answer directly.

 Laura asked directly: "How do you feel about him? If you don't feel anything, I'll do it."

"He is very handsome and very graceful. When I get along with him tonight, I feel...how should I put it?" Anne recalled briefly: "It's just that I feel very comfortable. A good man should be like him."

  Laura can have a good relationship with Anne, at least she can clearly understand her position: "It seems that I have no chance."

 Facing her best friend, Anne didn't hide it very much: “Actually, his shortcomings are very obvious.”

Laura didn't understand: “Obvious shortcomings? Too handsome, insecure?”

Anne is a New Yorker, so she naturally observes things that ordinary people don't pay much attention to: “You didn't realize that he drove an ordinary Volkswagen sedan, wore ordinary clothes of an ordinary brand, and wore an ordinary American brand of watch...”

As soon as these words came out, Laura understood that Martin Davis was not a rich man.

 Annie is still thinking about this matter. She is a very nice person and the money is not much.

Laura said: "He just became famous."

"Let's talk about this later." Anne had roughly thought of a strategy and would hang on for the time being without expressing her position, making any promises, or giving up.

 … … Century City, as soon as Thomas entered the company, Natasha at the receptionist came over.

 She pushed some newspapers to Thomas: "There is Martin's news on it, take a look."

Thomas thanked him and went upstairs with the newspaper. He sat at his desk and read through it. He found that they were all entertainment and gossip newspapers with relatively large sales in Los Angeles.

These newspapers published the celebration party held by the crew of the wax museum yesterday.

 It's normal. After all, Wax Museum was a hit and is still ranked in the top three weekly box office charts in North America. It's strange that the entertainment media didn't pay attention to it.

But when he opened a celebrity gossip column, Thomas' eyes widened and he thought, no, this is too fast!

　　"Anne Hathaway's relationship is exposed, the man is suspected to be Hollywood star Martin Davis!"

A series of photos are published below. The two walked out of the bar together with a smile. The man guarded the woman. The woman got into the man's car. The man went to the hotel where the woman stayed and stayed for two hours before coming out. When he came out, his clothes had changed.

If Thomas does not read the short essay written by the reporter, but only looks at these photos, what will he think of? Martin and Anne are definitely having an affair!

 Are you moving so fast?

 Thomas continued to browse and found similar news in several gossip newspapers.

　　He will make such associations from a reader's perspective. You don't need to read the essays written by gossip reporters to know that they will be more exaggerated.

 Thomas admired how fast this **** Martin was.

He suddenly covered his face. Yesterday, he wanted to teach Martin how to pick up girls. He was overestimating his ability...

 Thomas picked up the phone and dialed Martin's number. After the call was connected, he heard the sound of heavy breathing and immediately had a bad idea: "Martin, are you with that princess?"

 The other side laughed: "What are you thinking about? I'm working out and I just had a fight with Lao Bu."

 Thomas asked directly: "What's going on between you and Anne Hathaway?"

Martin said: "We met at a bar yesterday and had a few drinks together. I took her back to the hotel."

"Her Princess Diaries 2 was a big hit this year. Although the response and reputation are not as good as the first one, it is firmly at the forefront among actresses born in the 1980s." What Thomas cares about is not whether it is true or false, but whether it can be profitable: "Yes For you, an actress of her level is enough. Martin, don't let her go!”

 Martin was dissatisfied: "Hey! Hey! Man, what did you say!"

Thomas was surprised, what was wrong with what I said?

Martin said: "I am a fan of Anne, and I like Anne very much. Maybe our meeting yesterday was destined by fate! This is fate and has nothing to do with anything else. Do you understand?"

Thomas understands, you are so shameless!

He added: "You know better than me in this regard. You can control the details yourself. If you need anything, call me."

"Bye."

 In the fitness club, Martin hung up the phone.

 Bruce has taken off his protective gear and stretched his body.

 Martin put away his cell phone, also did some stretching exercises, and asked: "Did Zomi succeed yesterday?"

"We struck up a conversation, but he drove away alone." Bruce sometimes admired Martin for this piece of shit: "I wonder, even if Mene attracts middle-aged and elderly women, why does someone like Anne Hathaway smell like this? How about the stench coming from your body?"

Martin patted his chest: "Because people like you are blind. I am a good person, and a good person with a bright future."

Bruce mocked: "Why didn't you use your strength last night and go directly into her room?"

Martin retorted: "Brother, can you talk about some professional ethics? Celebrities must have the morals and bottom line of celebrities, and they must properly consider the reporters and paparazzi friends who follow them every day. If the progress is too fast, the story will reach its climax all at once, and the readers will be uninterested. Our journalists and paparazzi friends will lose their jobs!”

Even though Bruce had seen the stench of this shit, he was still stunned by this novel theory.

 Martin came over and patted Bruce on the shoulder: "See, I am a truly ethical and professional actor."

 Bruce had nothing to say.

Susie, their fitness instructor, came in from outside and saw the two of them wiping sweat and said, "I have prepared drinks for you in the lounge."

 Martin responded politely: “Thank you.”

Susie deliberately lagged behind, walked with Bruce, and actively invited: "Old Bu, do you have time at noon? There is a new Japanese restaurant nearby, I will treat you to Japanese food."

 Martin decided to create opportunities for Lao Bu: "I will go to Louise's place at noon, and I will go to the studio to meet Wes and Ajia in the afternoon. You can do whatever you want."

 Bruce was ready to say goodbye to Kim, and immediately accepted Susie's invitation: “Okay, I'll treat you to lunch.”

Susie was very happy: "No, if you tell me to treat you, I will treat you." She thought: "Otherwise, you can treat me next time."

 Martin discovered that Susie was very clever. This date hadn't even started yet, but she was already preparing for the next one.

Bruce said: "Let's talk about it next time."

 Martin went to the locker room to shower and change clothes, came out to say hello to Bruce, and drove to Sherman Oaks alone.

He has not contacted Anne Hathaway for the time being. He will make an appointment to have dinner when he is free one day.

The car was driving quickly near the southern hillside, and someone stopped the car on the roadside.
