American Fame and Fortune Chapter 186

Chapter 186 This Anne is not that Anne

Beverly Hills, in a restaurant on Rodeo Drive.

 The waiters served the meals one after another and stayed away from the booths.

 Julie picked up her wine glass and clinked it with Martin: "Louise told me that it was you who first suggested me to play the heroine."

　　Martin had a drink and replied with a smile: "I like Lara Croft very much and I hope to cooperate with you in my dreams, because you are my goddess and idol."

Julie was confused. When she heard Martin say this before, she thought it was just a compliment, but now it sounds like it is not.

 Martin took the initiative to clink glasses with her: "Here's to Laura."

 Julie drained the remaining wine in the glass and invited Martin to dine: "It's up to you."

 The two chatted while eating, and after telling some interesting anecdotes in the industry, Julie asked: "It is said that the selfie scandal came from your suggestion?"

"I will definitely deny it when asked." Martin deliberately sold it off: "I was the first to make the suggestion, but I can't actually implement it, so I still rely on Warner Brothers."

 Julie asked again: "So, Paris Hilton in the Wax Museum is also related to you."

 Martin said vaguely: "It mainly depends on my buddy."

Julie looked at Martin with a bit of admiration in her eyes. Good acting skills and good looks are nothing, but knowing how to operate is truly great.

 The former are numerous in Hollywood, while the latter are few and far between.

"I want to hear your opinion on something about media PR and publicity." Julie thought for a moment and decided to ask directly: "It's not a bad thing. It's a scandal. It's about the relationship between men and women. It's like a wax museum and a mountain." Is there a high chance that there will be explosive news like this that will help?”

 Obviously, Jolie is thinking about how to properly end Brad Pitt's affair with his wife Aniston behind her back.

 Martin and Louise have discussed Julie more than once. For the sake of their own future, the couple even planned to wait for a period of time before Julie responded, and then secretly find someone to break the scandal.

At this time, Julie came to the door. How could Martin let it go: "I heard that Paris Hilton wants to create her own brand because she has enough popularity and even has a group of supporters."

Julie was lost in thought, and after a while she said: "It will be difficult for her to clear her name."

Martin needs Julie to become popular and light the fire first: "Actually, Annie and I really exposed a video like a video tape, and the effect may be better. Times have changed. The Internet has shortened the distance between people, and scandals have become more popular." The further amplification of gossip also increases the desire of the general public to pry into the privacy of celebrities. Sometimes a scandal is not necessarily a scandal. If it is run well, it can become an accelerant for people to rise. "

Julie said this because Martin had done something similar. She said carefully: "Suppose... you and Anne get married, and I fall in love with you. It's just a hypothesis! You also like me, and we will do everything we need to do." We did it and starred in a movie together. Will the movie be over if the scandal is exposed?”

Hearing these words, Martin guessed that Julie had some ideas, but had not implemented them in practice and lacked enough confidence.

It was too impolite to refuse the gift that came to my door. Martin had a good man who knew how to be polite: "Aren't the coolest men and the coolest women meant to be together? In the name of true love, nothing else matters. I want to find The reasons and excuses were too simple. They tried to throw dirty water on Anne, saying that she cheated on her first, didn't want children, and wanted to work rather than have a family.”

 This Anne is not that Anne.

Julie was not only listening, but also remembered it carefully in her mind. After all, Martin's seemingly bad ideas succeeded several times in succession.

Martin added to the fire: "I will admit my mistakes generously, take photos with you and the children and send them to the media to express my love and desire for the children and family, such as the family life Martin wants. What can you give? And Anne, who doesn't want children, can't give it.”

 Julie remembered one thing. Aniston aborted a child last year.

"This guy is really a genius, a genius who makes trouble!" She couldn't help but stare at Martin and muttered in her mind: "How many of the news related to him are true? Thirty percent? This kind of person is too suitable for the entertainment industry. "

Martin added: "This is Hollywood, and the public has long been accustomed to cheating, divorce, and love affairs. If you recall carefully, aren't some female stars and male stars who cheated during marriage admired by the world and enjoyed the media's praise? As long as you use true love." , family and child packaging, bad things may not turn into good things.”

 Julie recalled that she could indeed find precedents, but she was still worried: "I...there were already some bad rumors."

 Martin deliberately looked surprised: "You are doing very well now, can't you just keep doing what you are doing?"

“Adopt a child?” Julie reacted very quickly because she was trying to clear up the situation: “It is indeed a good idea.”

 Martin has actually experienced that the American people are always very tolerant of prodigal sons and prodigal daughters, and Jolie can be marketed as a Virgin-like existence.

 And Americans especially like Jolie.

 Julie asked again: "Isn't children alone enough?"

For the sake of future and future, Martin decided to teach killer moves and magic tricks: "You can go to Afghanistan or Iraq to comfort the local refugees."

 Julie's real evolution began not long ago: "As far as I know, those people lost their houses, families, and even parts of their limbs, and they saw Americans..."

 Martin only said one sentence: "Although they have nothing, they are free!"

 Julie's eyes lit up and she found the true meaning of freedom! He couldn't help but said excitedly: "Martin, you shouldn't be a star, you should be a publicist!"

 Martin shrugged: "It's not easy to wipe people's butts."

Julie did not resent Martin's rude words at all, and her burning gaze fell on Martin, as if she was seeing a close friend.

At this moment, Pete was tasteless and no longer fragrant at all.

 But she is Julie after all, not a little girl who is carried away by a sudden heartbeat. Martin's status and net worth are too low.

 Julie raised her glass: “Martin, I respect you.”

This meal was enjoyed by both the guests and the host. Julie raised her glass several times to thank Martin.

During the period, she even proposed that her Cambodian son recognize Martin as his godfather, but Martin politely refused.

 While chatting, Martin mentioned something casually. He was competing for the second leading role in Martin Scorsese's new play.   Julie's side can work best, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't work.

Having just gained a lot, Julie felt that Martin was a trustworthy person and took the matter to heart.

 Once she heard Pete mention that Plan B was the second largest investor in Scorsese's new play. She could just find a suitable opportunity and help Martin.

 Julie is very good at blowing pillow wind.

 The large-scale publicity and marketing of "The Mountain Has Eyes" is basically over, and Martin does not need to appear in the rest.

 Martin's energy turned to the two projects of “Wanted” and “The Departed”.

Warner Brothers will participate in the former, but it will be led by Pacific Pictures. The specific planning and shooting can cooperate with Martin's competition for the role of the latter and avoid conflicts in shooting schedules.

 Martin's Boston accent lessons were taken twice a week to five times a week, and he gradually became somewhat fluent in speaking.

In addition, he specially invited Kate Winslet, who was busy competing for awards, to have dinner.

 The accumulated contacts and resources must of course be used at critical moments.

 Martin and Kate are also old friends, and they very tactfully mentioned that they were going to audition for the role in "The Departed".

Kate said bluntly: "I do have a good relationship with Leo, but we rarely talk about work. I can mention your affairs when I meet him, but I can't guarantee the effect."

 Martin said with a smile: “This is already an incredible help.”

Kate was not polite to Martin: "In this case, you owe me another favor."

Martin remembers that when he first met Craven, Kate also helped him and said without hesitation: "Whatever you do, just say it."

 Having paid off billions of debts, are you still afraid of a favor?

 Favors come and go, and relationships can be deepened.

 No fool can survive this far. Kate smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later."

This is also a kind of human investment. Martin's rise is very strong. At this stage, he is unable to do anything to help Kate, but it is difficult to say in the future.

 Martin thought of this too.

Kate moved on to something else: "You've been quite a sensation lately."

Martin said half-truth: "There is no other way. I am not well-known enough, so I can only come up with some bad ideas. If you use this kind of thing once, you can't use it again."

Kate said: "I have attended some parties, and it is said that some people noticed and wanted to imitate you."

 Martin was particularly generous: "I won't charge them tuition." He asked with concern: "The Oscar will be coming soon. How sure are you of winning the award?"

Kate shook her head slowly: "I was nominated for Best Actress, so I don't have to worry about winning the award. My public relations efforts are not enough."

 If you don't invest much in public relations, the chances of winning important awards are basically zero.

 The two chatted about the Oscars for a while and then parted.

 Leaving the restaurant, Martin rushed to the Hilton Hotel to find Anne.

In the car, Bruce asked: "Have you thought about it?"

Martin said: "There is no such thing as a good job for a woman."

"You're such a bad person, can't you think of a better way?" The two had discussed it specifically before, and Bruce felt that his IQ had been insulted: "Will she pass the test?"

 Martin said seriously: "What should you do when a true love is in front of you?"

Bruce is also a piece of shit: "Break it into pieces and appreciate the crying scene in detail, and I will be particularly happy."

 Martin felt that he was getting better: "So, you are a bad person, and I am not."

　　"Indeed not." Bruce made a U-turn: "You are a scumbag."

 Martin was disdainful: "Only scumbags break up with people, but I don't."

The car turned in front of the Hilton Hotel. Martin got off the car and entered the hotel. He went to the elevator to tidy up his clothes and took the elevator straight to Anne's floor.

 He knocked on the door of Anne's room, entered and gave her a passionate kiss.

 The two got entangled and quickly got into a state of affairs.

This night, true love bloomed again.

 Martin's passionate love was all given to Anne.

At dawn, the sun rose, and Martin's cell phone vibrated.

He quickly picked up the phone and left the bedroom. He looked back and saw that Annie was still sleeping soundly. He came to the living room and answered the phone.

I went out to play with my daughter over the weekend. I didn't finish writing yesterday. I just finished the second chapter.
