American Fame and Fortune Chapter 362

Chapter 362 Third party intervention

 At the Sunshine Hotel, Heath Ledger received the news and was stunned on the spot, unable to figure out why.

 Bell said that he would do his best to help him operate, but in the end he couldn't even get into the last audition, let alone get the role.

 A person sees hope, but ends up in despair. The blow is really too great.

Heath Ledger picked up the phone and dialed Bale's number. He originally wanted to question Bale, but thinking about everything Bale had done for him, his words only turned into one sentence: "Why did it become like this? "

 Bell sighed: "Your news appeared on TMZ." He could only say: "Sorry, Heath, I called you from New York. I didn't expect this to happen..."

 Heath Ledger had already turned on his computer, saw the news on TMZ, and said: "It has nothing to do with you, it's all my fault."

Bell advised: "Quit it. As long as you work hard to quit, you can get your career back."

 “I'll give it a try.” Heath Ledger didn't say much and quickly hung up the phone.

At this moment, the depression in his chest could not be increased, and there was only one way to resolve it.

 So, Heath Ledger decided to put the matter of withdrawal until he returned to New York. Since the character was lost, it would not be too late to quit after returning to New York.

Ten minutes later, a super-excited Heath Ledger rushed out of the hotel.

 Because of the TMZ news, many paparazzi and entertainment reporters were stationed in front of the hotel.

Some people immediately gathered around: "Heath Ledger, how did you become like this?"

Heath Ledger didn't seem to hear it and just yelled: "Michelle Williams left me because Martin Davis intervened as a third party and interfered..."

 The entertainment paparazzi were all excited.

 At the latter part of the night, this joyful battle finally stopped.

 The three of them took a shower and ate midnight snacks to replenish energy.

Aniston looked at Martin: "I always feel that you have changed. You are thinner than before. In terms of temperament..."

Julie responded: "Like a pervert."

 Martin told the truth: "I have been a huge pervert ever since I played Landlords with you."

Aniston: Think about what happened in the past six months. Martin robbed Pitt of his woman and his treatment. Can a normal person do such a thing?

But she and Julie, her original enemy, were fighting landlords with Martin, and they didn't look like normal people.

Or, can the attribute of perversion be transmitted through the things that come out of that thing?

 Julie suddenly asked: "Today, a scandal suddenly appeared in the tabloids. Heath Ledger broke the news that he broke up with Michelle Williams because of your intervention."

　　"Me? Intervene?" Whether or not a stick was inserted, Martin knew best: "How is that possible! They are in New York. I haven't been to New York for a long time."

Aniston asked: "Really not."

 Martin grinned: "Am I that perverted?"

 Jolie and Aniston looked at each other and said at the same time: "You do!"

 "Very good! Very good!" Martin's expression was strange, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his smile was evil and gloomy: "You say I'm perverted, I won't let you down."

Jolie and Aniston are still arguing: "Did we say something wrong?"

Martin reached behind the sofa and found a clown statue nearly 40 centimeters long in each of his left and right hands.

This is a newly carved upright mahogany clown statue that Lily specially carved in the shape he described according to his instructions.

 Martin's big hands hold the Joker's legs like the handles of a weapon.

Jolie and Aniston were not scared at all and were still shouting.

 “Come on, who is afraid of whom?”

 “Isn't it just your statue? It's not like we haven't used it before!”

 Martin said secretly: "Let me see whether it is your mouth or my statue that is stronger!"

 Before dawn, Jolie and Aniston quietly left the Four Seasons Hotel.

 Martin has a feeling that his understanding and understanding of the character have gone a step further.

This is of course not fooling around and seeking pleasure, but a serious study of how clowns should face beautiful women.

In order to win the audition for the role, Martin not only competed openly, but also paid hundreds of millions to help with training. He worked really hard.

In front of the production office building where the "Dark Knight" nameplate was officially hung and a statue of Batman was erected in the foyer, Lily, whose long hair was tied into a ponytail, showed Louise's business card from the production to the doorman, who let her in.

 Entering the front hall, Lily waited for a while before Louise's assistant Nikki came down from upstairs.

She had met Lily before, and she still remembered Lily's beauty and the special gift she gave her. She recognized her when she saw her and said, "Come here."

Lily carried her bag and trotted over to give him a small gift.

Nikki quickly refused. Lily said: "I made this myself, take it."

“Thank you.” Through the glass box, Nikki could see that it was not a crocodile tooth pendant or a clown statue, but a beautiful trinket made of green stone, so she accepted it.

She led the way and introduced the situation as she walked: "Ms. Meier said hello to the prop team, but the producer has extremely strict requirements on all aspects. Only if your ability passes the test will the crew give you a chance."

 Lily nodded: "I understand."

 She heard from her teacher that the director of the production was a real-shooting maniac and had particularly high requirements for the props team.

 After establishing a foothold in school and Los Angeles, Lily began to prepare for the tuition and living expenses for the next school year. The teacher recommended her to try her luck in the props or art design group of a Hollywood set, so she simply contacted Louise.

Nikki brought Lily to the interview room of the props team, waited for a while, took her in, and said directly to the three interviewers: "This is the Lily Carter recommended by Ms. Mel."

 The interviewers nodded slightly. They could reject the people recommended by Louise Meyer if their abilities were not suitable.

  But if you have the ability, you must give fair and just results.

Egerton, who was nearly 60 years old in the middle, saw that Lily was not very young and asked: "Are you still studying?"

Lily said: “I studied sculpture at CalArts.”

The interviewer didn't ask any more questions, just gave her a box of black putty materials and said, "I want a batarang."

 “Okay!” Lily got busy.

 The clay seemed to be completely tamed, and as Lily flipped her fingers, the black batarang had already taken shape.

 The interviewers nodded secretly. The recommended people were capable enough and they would not be embarrassed.

Nikki looked at Lily curiously, not expecting that this girl had such excellent handicrafts.

 Not long after, a quickly dried batarang was placed on the table in front of the interviewer.

The three interviewers exchanged words, and Egerton in the middle said: "Leave your agent's contact information and let your agent negotiate a contract with the crew."

 Lily then remembered and said, "Sorry, I don't have an agent."

The female interviewer on the left reminds: "Find an agent as soon as possible."

“Okay.” Lily went to clean her hands and followed Nikki out.

Nikki, aware of her relationship with Martin, said: "You could give Thomas a call."

Lily said: "This is the only way."

 She had Thomas's contact information and immediately dialed Thomas' number.

 Thomas was within WMA and was not responsible for business other than actors. He obtained Martin's consent and contacted an acquaintance female agent, and came to the Dark Knight Studio with her to discuss related matters.

While Lily was on the phone, Christian Bale and his agent Parker passed by nearby.

The young and beautiful girl suddenly burst into view, causing Bell to subconsciously turn his head and look at Lily twice.

Even though he has seen many beauties in Hollywood, his eyes are brightening at this moment.

The Bellman did not stop, but curiously asked the staff member who was leading the way: "Is that girl just now a member of the crew?"

“I don't know him.” The staff member said honestly, “But it looks familiar, and I can't remember where I've seen him before.”

The staff member said: "Director Nolan is waiting for you at the training office."

 “Thank you.” Bell walked over there.

The agent who was following him reminded: "The matter of Heath Ledger is over, don't mention it again."

 Bell was helpless and responded: "I know."

Entering the training ground, Nolan waved Bell over and introduced the new action director to him.

The two of them exchanged a few words, and the action director temporarily left due to something else.

Nolan called Bale to a deserted window and said: "The production budget of this project alone is as high as 180 million US dollars. Do you know how important it is to me?"

 Bale understood it as soon as he heard it and said: "I'm sorry about Heath Ledger."

 Because he strongly recommended Heath Ledger, in Nolan's eyes, Bale was no longer very reliable. He said: "If something unexpected happens to this project, the future of you and me, as well as the other creative staff, will be ruined."

 Bell heard the seriousness in Nolan's words and said, “I promise, there won't be a next time.”

This kind of guarantee, as long as something goes wrong once, will no longer be credible the next time. Nolan seemed not to hear it, but instead ordered: "You are one of the two male protagonists on the crew, and your energy should be focused on preparing for the role. Leave the rest if you can.”

Bell responded: "I fully prepared for the role."

"Train well and show your best." Nolan ended the conversation and walked away.

Bell could sense that Nolan was prejudiced against him.
