American Fame and Fortune Chapter 344

Chapter 344 News of the World's Proposal

　　The story of the film takes place in New York, and the crew deliberately placed the premiere of "Never Ending" in New York.

On the day of the premiere, the weather was not kind and it snowed heavily in New York.

In front of the Metropolitan Theater at Lincoln Center, the red carpet suddenly turned into a white carpet. Personnel sent by the hosting company urgently pulled up the awning. Learning from the Oscars' experience, they erected an extrlarge tent in the waiting area.

 By the afternoon, the snow had not stopped at all, and it was impossible to cancel the premiere, which had cost a lot of money to prepare.

In the driving Cadillac, Louise curled her fingers and wiped the water mist on the window glass. She looked at the heavy snow falling outside and was a little worried: "It's snowing in the entire Northeast now. If the heavy snow continues until the weekend, it will It affects many people's travel.”

Martin on the other side was also looking out the window: "The weather forecast is for snow in the next few days. Even if the snow stops, there will be a large-scale cooling."

Metropolitan areas such as New York and Boston in the northeastern United States are important ticket warehouses for Hollywood movies.

  Louise pushed up her glasses and said, "I hope your appeal is strong enough."

Martin raised his head and looked at the skylight. Under the heavy black sky, it was completely white: "It's time for Leo and Jack to come."

 Louise didn't understand: "What do you want your **** brother to do? Lead another cow?"

Martin said: "They have a secret weapon in their hands. If they fire it into the sky, maybe the snow will stop?"

　　It was made by blasting it with Gatling.

I still remember that in his hometown in his previous life, a general prayed for rain, pulled a cannon to the top of the mountain and fired into the sky. It is said that the rain fell quickly.

The car entered the Lincoln Center for the Arts, waited for a while, and arrived in front of the Metropolitan Theater.

 Martin adjusted his suit slightly, showed the sunniest smile, got out of the car and immediately posed for the best photo pose.

 Flashlights lit up the dull sky.

Martin stepped on the wet red carpet and walked all the way towards the Metropolitan Theater.

 At the same time, he smiled and nodded to the surroundings, looking for the fan club and the CocCola cult members.

At the location near the media area, Martin saw a large number of people wearing red T-shirts and holding his special posters.

These people specially wore a large CocCola T-shirt on top of their thick coats.

 “Hi Martin, I'm Ted!”

A young man wearing a red T-shirt said loudly: "I am one of the leaders of the New York fan club..."

 Martin did his homework: "I remember you, the lucky audience of "The Mountain Has Eyes"."

“It's me! It's me!” Ted was extremely excited and quickly handed Martin his signature pen and pulled up his red T-shirt.

 Martin directly signed the T-shirt, and others followed suit and asked him to sign the CocCola T-shirt.

 Subsequently, Bruce handed over a can of Coke, and Martin raised his glass to people on both sides of the red carpet.

This has become a must-have ritual for Martin on the red carpet.

 Wherever the leader of the CocCola Cult walked, he would definitely leave behind the legend of CocCola.

When Martin walked up the steps and entered the media interview area, director Danny Boyle was being interviewed by reporters.

He praised Martin greatly: "Martin is a very dedicated actor. No matter how difficult the shot is, he will complete it 100%. Whatever job is given to him, he will do his best."

As for the crew, commercial promotion is indispensable.

 Martin was later interviewed.

“This is an extremely important film in my acting career because the character is similar to my own experience. When this role appeared in front of me, I was very excited..."

　　After boasting about himself, Martin will not forget to praise his partners on the crew: "Robert De Niro gave me a lot of excellent advice during the performance, and a legend personally guided me. I am excited just thinking about it now."

“Danny is a versatile director, his shots are full of psychedelic beauty, his style is sharp and incredible.”

Finally, Martin said about Aniston: "The first time I watched Friends, Jane became my idol. I was still a little kid at that time. Rachel filled the empty spiritual world of a poor teenager. She was my idol." A goddess, do you know what it's like to act with a goddess? It's a dream come true!”

Suddenly there was a cry from both sides of the red carpet. The two new women who walked on the red carpet had figures that instantly surpassed all the female guests at today's premiere.

Karolina Korkova and Angela Lindewald accepted Martin's invitation to attend the premiere.

This wet red carpet feels like they walked out of the T-stage.

 Female stars in the Hollywood industry are generally reluctant to take photos with supermodels, especially the toned supermodels from Victoria's Secret.

 Things like figure and fashion sense can be easily ruined instantly.

  The main creative staff of the production team arrived, took a photo in front of the sponsor's background board, and entered the theater together.

 The lobby of the Metropolitan Theater is large enough. After the crew and guests arrive, they will stay here first and wait for the general audience to enter before entering the screening hall.

 After Martin entered, someone came over to say hello.

Mockridge, the editor-in-chief of the News of the World, stood in front of Martin: "Long time no see, Martin, your manuscript is unexpectedly brilliant."

　　When Martin was secretly photographed by three News of the World reporters in Washington, they were compensated with royalties. However, Martin did not have the ability to write a wonderful article, so he left it to Thomas to carry on.

Thomas did a good job.

Martin replied with a smile: "We can work out a new deal and I wouldn't mind continuing to contribute to the News of the World."

"If you have the chance, you can." Mockridge's voice changed sharply and he said, "Let's have a few words alone." Martin nodded: "Okay."

The two found a deserted place, and Mockridge asked, "I heard that you were at odds with Harvey Weinstein?"

Of course Martin would not admit it, looking at Mockridge.

Mockridge said vaguely: "I got some information about Harvey and wanted to find someone in the Hollywood industry to help verify it."

Martin's first reaction was that the News of the World found something after receiving Ivan's clues.

How could a person like him easily believe in a conscientious and professional media like the News of the World? He immediately said: "I have only been in Hollywood for three years. All my energy is focused on work. I know too little and I am afraid I will not be qualified." ”

Mockridge said: "You may not know Harvey very well. He is a very domineering person. Actors who have had conflicts with him in the past have all been retaliated by him without exception."

 Martin knew this was true and said: "It doesn't matter, Warner will mediate it."

Mockridge then realized that Warner was involved in every one of Martin's films.

 He stopped pestering: "I wish you good luck."

 Bruce comes from behind.

Martin asked: "Just a little more attention in New York, where the News of the World has been operating for many years."

Bruce said: "Don't worry, I have updated the equipment, and those accomplished reporters don't have a chance."

“Versatility?” Martin thought for a while. When he was a reporter at the News of the World, interviewing ability didn't seem to be the key.

Two supermodels, Carolina and Angela, came over.

 Martin remembered something. He invited Georgina Chapman to attend the premiere. When greeting the two supermodels, he asked Bruce.

 Bruce quickly found Georgina's whereabouts.

 Martin led the two of them over there: "I'll introduce you to a friend in the Los Angeles fashion circle."

Angela saw the tall Georgina, came over and asked in a low voice: "Isn't he the person who often plays games with you?"

Carolina naturally understood what the so-called game was, and said with a smile: "Who doesn't like Martin? It's good-looking, easy to use, and good at playing."

 Martin looked serious: "Be more serious."

When Georgina came over, Angela and Carolina quickly turned into standard supermodel faces.

 Martin introduced both parties. Georgina recognized Angela and Carolina, but the two supermodels did not recognize her.

　　After a few pleasantries between the two parties, Martin quickly brought the topic to fashion and clothing.

With him as a lubricant in the middle, the two parties quickly became familiar with each other and exchanged contact information.

Georgina quietly gave Martin a look with a hint of gratitude.

 Martin smiled, said no more, and left quickly.

 On the one hand, he won't care much about what happens next.

On the other hand, he saw his old friend Mene accompanying a middle-aged, strong woman into the lounge.

Meine saw Martin immediately and led Emma Thomas over: "Hi, Martin, let me introduce you to a friend."

This is the first time Martin has met Emma Thomas in person, and it is similar to what he remembers. Compared to other Hollywood directors' wives or girlfriends, Emma Thomas is much plumper.

 As far as she can remember, she and Nolan have not divorced, which is relatively rare in Hollywood.

Mene obviously had a good relationship with Emma and introduced: "Martin, this is Emma Thomas, a great female producer."

 Martin shook her hand and said, "Last time, we were almost able to cooperate."

 Because of Mene's relationship, Emma had a good impression of Martin and said with a smile: "I think there will be opportunities in the future."

 EmmThomas only had a brief contact with Martin, and then went elsewhere with Mene.

 Georgina chatted with Angela and Carolina in a more speculative manner. When the guests in the lounge went to the screening hall, the three of them said something to Martin and simply didn't go there and stayed here to continue chatting.

 Martin walked behind, and after going out, Mene was waiting for him.

"Boss, I have received definite news that Jonathan Nolan has completed the script for the sequel to the new Bat-movie." Mene has been in frequent contact with Emma Thomas recently and learned a lot of information: "It is estimated that the script will be submitted to Emma Thomas next month. Warner Bros."

 Martin slowed down and asked as he walked: "Should Bale play the leading role?"

Mene said: "Warner Bros. has communicated with Emma, ​​and given the failure of previous Batman movies and the success of Spider-Man movies, they requested that the sequel must star Bale."

 Martin nodded: "I understand."

It is taboo to change the male lead in a sequel. Batman Forever replaced Michael Keaton, which caused a certain decline. Fans were very dissatisfied with Val Kilmer.

Going to Batman & Robin and George Clooney, the movie turned into a complete disaster.

 Warner has a tradition of using mystery when adapting DC movies.
