American Fame and Fortune Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Confrontation

 “This is Barry Meyer, CEO of Warner Bros.”

 In the luxurious and spacious banquet hall, Louise took Martin to find tonight's host and made a special introduction: "This is Alan Horn, the president of Warner Pictures."

Martin shook hands with the two men politely and said hello. These two were the leaders of Warner Brothers in its heyday.

The two shook hands with Martin and didn't say much. Given Martin's status, he couldn't impress them.

　　It's Alan Horn's daughter, Cody Horn and Martin chatted a little more.

She asked: "I heard that you have promoted a new project. I am also an actor. Do you have any roles suitable for me?"

Martin immediately said: "You will get it if you come, but there may not be many roles."

Cody Horn handed him a business card: "You can send the character information to my email. If it is suitable, I will ask the agent to contact your crew."

 Martin took the business card and put it away solemnly.

 Immediately follow Louise to another place.

 Louise reminded: "She is acting just for fun, don't take it too seriously."

 Martin understood: "A rich lady experiences life? Instead of treating it as her own career like you do?"

 Louise nodded slightly: "That's it." She stopped suddenly and pointed to the door of the banquet hall with her eyes: "Julie and Aniston met, it was interesting."

 Martin saw it. Julie and Aniston arrived one after another. The banquet hall was not very big, so it was normal for them to meet up.

Louise, a slut, talked nonsense again: "Put them together and help them mediate. I have a small villa and a room with a telescope..."

 Martin said: "I'm a serious person."

 Near the door of the banquet hall, Julie and Aniston's eyes met, and neither of them retreated.

 Unlike in the past, Aniston did not evade, but stared closely at Jolie.

With Julie's character, how could she possibly give in and walk towards Aniston's eyes?

Coming to her, Julie whispered: "Hello, loser."

Bichi's words rushed to Aniston's lips, but she was concerned about her image and could not say it on this occasion.

 Julie added: "You lose, in every way."

Aniston swallowed her angry words and smiled gracefully and confidently: "You may not be the winner until the end."

 Julie turned around, took a glass of wine from the table next to her, and left alone.

Aniston also took a glass of wine, glanced briefly in the hall, and walked towards Martin.

She came to Martin, nodded slightly to Louise, and said to Martin: "I want to talk to you about the script and the character."

 Louise also has a bad character, which can be seen in Kelly. She left immediately: "You guys chat, I saw a friend and went to say hello."

Martin knew that Aniston was talking nonsense, but a good man is right about his principles, but he must know how to cooperate. He asked: "Is there something wrong with your character?"

"A little bit." Aniston took a step forward and found that they were not close enough. She took another step forward and said, "We are playing a couple, but the age gap between the two of us is a bit big, so it's hard to feel it. , I think we should cultivate a tacit understanding in advance.”

 Martin said very seriously: "It makes sense."

Aniston naturally stretched out her hand and grabbed Martin's arm: "This always feels a bit uncoordinated."

 Martin is such a good person, he took the initiative to cooperate and moved a step towards her: "Would this be better?"

Not far away, Julie passed through the crowd and her eyes fell on the two of them.

 Aniston held Martin's arm, and the two looked like lovers.

 Julie bit her thick lips and gripped the cup with her hands. She was so excited that her legs were shaking so much that she couldn't move.

 At almost the same time, Aniston also found Jolie.

Seeing her weird expression and her biting lower lip, Aniston raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly.

 Julie held onto the table with one hand and pressed her chest with the other.

Aniston smiled even more, as if she had won a battle.

At the door of the banquet hall, Brad Pitt, who was wearing a beige suit, had just entered the door when he saw Aniston holding Martin's arm. This time, he was not carried away and turned around and left the banquet hall.

He knew that conflicts could not occur in a place like this. The whole Warner would be slapped in the face, so he simply turned a blind eye.

Meine, who was wearing a dark suit, followed him out of the banquet hall and came to the vicinity of the elevator. When he saw Peter waiting for the elevator, he simply stood in front of the mirror and pretended to adjust his bow tie.

Peter got on the elevator and went straight downstairs to leave.

 Meine couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she couldn't find Peter's mother.

 Want to vent my anger for the boss...

The other party didn't give Uncle Mene a chance.

 Returning to the banquet hall, Mene waited for a while. Seeing that there was no one around Martin, he looked over and said, "Boss."

 Martin patted his arm: "Back?"

Meine nodded: "I can rest for a few days."

Martin called Mene: "Let's go and take you to meet some directors." He joined Thomas and walked together towards the circle of British actors and directors.

 Christopher Nolan, who has blond hair parted, is taking a dessert for his wife Emma Thomas.

 Thomas walked in front and introduced both sides.

Nolan shook hands with Martin: "I've seen Wanted and carefully studied the action scenes. It's a very cool design."

 In terms of commercial exchanges, Martin is not ambiguous at all: "The moment of war allows us to see a Batman and Bruce Wayne living in the real world, not just comic symbols."

Nolan is more modest: “It's not too successful, at best it's just that it didn't fail.”

Martin asked curiously: "I like this film and the new style you gave to Batman. I heard from Warner Bros. Director Nolan that you already have plans for a sequel?"

“I have some simple ideas, but I haven't organized them systematically yet.” Nolan thought that Martin was interested in the role of Bruce Wayne, so he specifically said: “I have asked Bale to prepare in advance.”

 Martin asked: "At the end of the war, the Joker's poker appeared. I would like to ask, is the villain of the sequel the Joker?"

This is very obvious. Nolan had no need to deny it and said: "If nothing else happens, the big villain will be the Joker."

“I'm very familiar with Nicholson, who played the Joker,” Martin said. “Nicholson has a naturally evil temperament.”

Nolan has also seen the gossip about the Bastard Trio and said: "Nicholson's performance in 1989 was very good, and that version of the Joker also gave me a lot of inspiration."

He didn't want to talk more and instead said: “This film is still far away, and I still have projects to complete before that.”

Martin doesn't beat around the bush, after all, everyone with a discerning eye knows his relationship with Warner Bros.: ""The Magic"? I have read Priest's original novel, the model of a duel between two heroes."

　　In fact, The Dark Knight continues this pattern, with Batman and the Joker also dueling.

 Even the latter plays a more important role.

Nolan is a director, so he made a guess when he heard it: "Are you interested in this project?"

Martin said directly: "I like that novel very much and hope to have the opportunity to collaborate."

“You're a little younger.” Nolan didn't say anything. After all, the actor's age is only part of the consideration when choosing a role, but it is not the key: “You are welcome to come to the crew to audition.”

 Martin is done with it, and now he mainly just looks familiar.

 While Martin was talking to Nolan, not far away, Mene also chatted with Emma Thomas for a few words.

Perhaps she is inherently lethal to middle-aged women. In just a few sentences, Mene made Emma Thomas laugh non-stop while chatting.

 Emma Thomas smiled and said: "You are a very interesting person. No wonder many people say good things about you."

Meine was surprised: "Many people say that I am good? Which people?"

Emma Thomas said: "Don't you know? We women behind the scenes have established a fixed organization. During the gathering, many people talked about you."

 In the Hollywood circle, the number of women who truly control a certain amount of power is actually very small. These people automatically move closer and form a small group.

 In this group, more than one person was licked by Uncle Mene until he took off.

Meine was not embarrassed at all, but looked surprised: "So I am so famous!"

Emma tilted her head: "Actually, many people doubt that you are really that powerful?"

Meine was relatively restrained in this situation when faced with a female producer, especially when her husband was present. He lightly rubbed his lower lip: "Maybe it's a natural advantage, a special talent given to me by God."

Emma Thomas nodded and did not investigate further.

 Compared to those women in the industry who are in their 40s and 50s, she can definitely be regarded as a female producer in her own right.

 Most of the time, I spend my time solving my husband's worries.

Seeing Martin and Nolan exchange business cards, Mene said politely and left with Martin.

 Thomas was a step behind and asked Mene: "What's the catch?"

 Meine shook his head: "She is different."

Thomas said softly: "Then don't mess around, focus on stability."

 Martin saw Will Smith and turned back to ask Thomas: "Is it settled that I am a legend?"

Thomas quietly pointed at Alan Horn, who was talking to Will Smith: "Last month, he pushed for Warner Pictures to sign a contract with Will Smith. It is said that the salary is more than 20 million US dollars, and may also involve post-production sharing. ”

 Martin recognized the situation clearly: "Superstar, I'm still far away."

  This is the gap in all-round comprehensive strength.

"Looking at Hollywood, only Leonardo's status can compete with him, and everyone else is inferior." Thomas said: "In terms of commercial appeal alone, even Leonardo is not as good as Will Smith."

 Martin knows very well that this is an era when countless people pay for the **** played by the emperor.

“Work hard, Martin.” Thomas finally seized the opportunity of CPU Martin: “You still have a long way to go.”

 Martin immediately reversed CPU: "Our goal is very clear, I will become a super giant, and you will become a senior partner."

Thomas heard this and was full of energy.
