Chapter 175 Something happened
Multiple fax documents were placed on his desk. Wu Maoting looked through them carefully. Nowadays, many Hong Kong movie stars and behind-the-scenes personnel work in Hollywood, and it is not difficult to obtain relevant information.
First of all, there is the information about Martin Davis, who I contacted him last night. He has currently starred in two theatrical movies, both of which are male protagonists. His scandal with Disney Princess Anne Hathaway is making a lot of noise.
Wu Maoting looked at the newspaper clipping photo and was sure it was the young man he saw last night.
Then there is bartender Louise Meyer. She is the boss of Pacific Pictures. Pacific Pictures has participated in many movie platters released by Warner Bros. On the DVDs that her subordinates found according to the list, Pacific Pictures can be seen in the title. Industry LOGO.
Many of the films it has invested in have been successful before, but the latest one, "Alexander the Great," received poor market response.
But Wu Maoting didn't take it to heart because she was preparing to participate in Leonardo and Martin Scorsese's film projects.
Zhuang and Mai personally replied to the friend Wu Maoting asked, saying that Pacific Pictures has always been a partner of Warner Bros. In the past few days, it has officially contacted Warner Bros. to negotiate investment in Martin Scorsese's new project.
Hong Kong films are not making much headway nowadays. The market is small, the audience is small, there are few projects, and there are few starts...
Wu Maoting knows his own affairs, and the Myanmar side can still maintain it, but it is only a matter of time before it overturns.
Even from the perspective of risk sharing, all resources cannot be concentrated in Myanmar and Hong Kong. There must be industries that can allow the daughter to live a prosperous life.
At Wu Maoting's age, it is inevitable to think about future generations.
He found out the contact information that Martin left yesterday, called the number above, and invited Martin and Master Louise to have afternoon tea together.
On the 45th floor of the Four Seasons Hotel, the kumquat afternoon tea there is very good.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Martin and Louise came down from upstairs and arrived on the 45th floor on time.
Wu Maoting and his daughter have already booked a private room and are waiting inside.
This time was different from last night. Wu Maoting was much more polite. Before the afternoon tea was served, he gave Martin and Louise a meeting gift.
Martin is a bracelet full of green.
Louise is wearing a green bracelet.
Martin doesn't know much about jade, and his visual inspection of the water is not particularly good, but it is worth more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
He kicked Louise lightly, and Louise said: "It's too expensive."
Wu Maoting said with a smile: "A small care is not disrespectful." He went straight to the point: "In addition to my jewelry business, I also invest in movies in Hong Kong. In fact, I have always wanted to visit Hollywood. My daughter is also curious about Hollywood. Last night I heard from Mr. Davis that you have a movie coming out soon, will our father and daughter have the honor of attending the premiere?”
Martin and Louise quickly exchanged glances and took over: "The film was released in early February last year and will have its premiere at the end of January. You two can go to Los Angeles at any time. When I go back, I will ask the crew to send you a formal invitation."
U Thant was very happy: “Great!”
Like many people of this era, she is curious about Hollywood and America.
Wu Maoting pushed the gift toward the two of them again: "Please accept it."
Martin took two gift boxes and put them away.
Afternoon tea was served, and the atmosphere between the two parties was quite lively. During this period, Wu Maoting specifically talked about Hong Kong filmmakers in Hollywood and revealed that he had investment intentions.
Of course Louise would not refuse, and the two parties agreed to discuss it in detail in Los Angeles after attending the premiere of "The Mountain Has Eyes".
Martin was more dealing with U Thant's curious questions.
An hour later, both parties left.
Martin accompanied Louise upstairs: “They don't feel comfortable paying until they see it with their own eyes.”
Louis asked: "It involves an investment of more than ten million US dollars, and it is separated by the Pacific Ocean. If it were you, would you feel relieved?"
Martin specifically reminded: “You must be prepared to deal with it.”
Louise attaches great importance to it: "Pacific Pictures has started making preparations. Don't worry, I have done similar platters many times."
She turned to ask: "Are you going back to North America tomorrow?"
"I also want to stay here with you." Martin said affectionately, with a guilty look in his eyes: "But Warner Bros. has to take many promotional photos, so I have no choice but to rush back."
Louis is not reluctant: "I'm going to Cambodia, and Julie has contacted some people."
Martin said: "You have to be careful, Southeast Asia is no better than North America."
Louise pointed back: "The bodyguards have been following us."
Martin noticed it when he was in Los Angeles and suggested: "Go out and see the night view of the harbor city."
"No, I'm not interested." Louise grabbed Martin and walked forward quickly: "You owe me a big debt again, go back and pay it back!"
Martin, who is in debt, has no money, how can he repay it?
Thirty is really like a wolf.
Coming to Hong Kong City, apart from participating in organizer activities and soliciting investments, Martin spent the rest of his time paying off debts.
Fortunately, his cow is strong enough.
The next morning, Martin and Louise arrived at the airport, boarded their respective flights, and left the port city almost at the same time.
Come here in first class and go back alone in economy class.
Martin has no place to be reasonable.
Back to Los Angeles, as soon as I arrived at the apartment, Harris called me and said that the new star express had been sent.
Martin dragged his suitcase to the door of the apartment.
Antonio was sitting under a sun umbrella as before: "Didn't you go to East Asia? Are you back so soon?"
Martin took out a safety buckle and handed it to Antonio: "This is for you, a souvenir."
Antonio said: "You are so kind."
Martin shrugged: "I'm afraid you'll sell me to the paparazzi."
"Don't worry, I won't sell you without one hundred thousand dollars." Antonio was not tempted very much: "You are not worth so much money in the short term." Martin was helpless: "There is no way, I can't even compete with Julia Roberts. It's not worth even a fraction of the price.”
Last month, Dazui gave birth to twins, and many gossip entertainment magazines offered millions of dollars for photos of the children.
Martin dragged his suitcase upstairs, and when he passed the diagonally opposite door, the door opened.
Jessica came out with the express: "Martin, from Atlanta."
Martin accepted the express mail and handed out two safety buckles: "A small souvenir for you and Emily."
Jessica was surprised: "Me too? That's great! Thank you, Martin."
"What's going on at the studio?" Martin asked, "I was suddenly asked to come back."
Jessica said: “It seems that some of the promotional photos are inappropriate.”
Martin nodded and was about to go back. He thought of another thing and said, "Did the work go well?"
Jessica said quickly: "It's much better than before, with stable income and many opportunities."
Martin said directly: "If you want, you can transfer to work in my studio after the film is released."
Jessica was stunned for a moment, then realized: "You hire me?"
Martin said: "I need an assistant. The specific work content is similar to what you do. Please consider it."
"No need to think about it! No need to!" When Jessica was in the most difficult situation, she once considered going north and developing in the valley. If she didn't have money, why would she care about dignity.
She responded: "I do!"
Martin nodded: "I'll let Lao Bu talk to you later."
“Okay.” Jessica said.
Martin returned to the apartment, and Jessica returned to the apartment, rummaged through the clothes and props that she bought last year, put them in a box, and prepared to throw them away.
This was what she and Emily planned to use to seduce Martin.
Martin opened the express box, and found that it was still a human-shaped carving inside. Unlike the previous horns, it was made of stone and turned into a stone carving.
Still using him as a model for the clown look.
Martin picked it up and looked at the soles of the feet. Lily Carter's name was engraved on the bottom of each one.
It seems that the carving has improved again.
Martin put them all away, along with the carved horns and the crocodile tooth pendant.
How many months will it take to give it to Annie?
Perhaps she became Anna at that time.
No matter who it is for, Lily Carter is a top art sculptor.
Master Lili's works alone are enough for Martin to send for a long time.
Martin decided that when Wu Maoting and his daughter came to Los Angeles, he would purchase a batch of ordinary jadeite from him and give it to Lily and Elena.
To stimulate Lily's subjective initiative.
As for the labor cost? Martin hasn't asked her for image rights fees yet.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Bruce came back from outside.
Martin asked him to go upstairs to drink together and tell him about Jessica.
Bruce lay on the guardrail on the roof and said, "Leave it to me."
Martin is most at ease with Bruce. He briefly talked about the situation in Hong Kong City: "In a while, investors from Southeast Asia may come to Los Angeles. Pacific Pictures may need someone to cooperate. You need to communicate with them for details."
“Man, I really admire you!” Bruce didn't know what to say: “You tricked and deceived you into Asia!”
Martin knocked on the metal railing: "This is called investment opportunities for people, it's called a win-win situation!"
Bruce said: "I understand, win-win, you and Louise win twice."
Martin didn't want to talk to this stinky **** anymore, so he changed the subject: "How are you doing over there? Is the video tape taken?"
Bruce sighed: "Something happened."
Martin wondered: "Isn't everything under your control?"
"This afternoon, when I was resting at Jin's residence, her sister came." Bruce recalled that the girl was also a straight-up type among ordinary women: "She is taller than Jin..."
Martin immediately understood what was going on: "Old Bu, just be a human being, don't be a bad person, don't do bad things, we are sisters!"
Bruce was disdainful: "Who do you think I learned this from? I stay next to a bad person every day, what else can I do except learn how to do bad things?"
Martin didn't bother to refute.
Bruce has gradually become familiar with the entertainment industry after practicing last time: "Don't worry, I will look at the actual situation before making any decisions."
Early the next morning, Martin rushed to Warner Studios to work with the crew and photographers to shoot new promotional photos.
At the same time, let the crew send a formal premiere invitation letter to Wu Maoting and his daughter.
The regular publicity of the film crew focuses entirely on the male protagonist, and Martin is starting to get busy at work.
Before the New Year, I stayed with the crew almost every day and participated in various regular promotional activities.
The year 2005 is here.
Just after the New Year holiday, Annie returned to Los Angeles from New York.
Martin has prepared a surprise.
