American Fame and Fortune Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Push in the back

After the Peachtree Street scenes came to an end, the crew returned to the Gray Film and Television Center for filming.

 The heroine Maggie Gyllenhaal also joined the filming.

 “Stop, this one has passed!”

Behind the director's monitor, Nolan looked at the set, which was decorated like a cocktail party. Maggie Gyllenhaal walked out holding her chest, as if she was frightened by Martin's performance.

Nolan's excellence was not limited to directing. He immediately called the screenwriter: “For the record, Maggie Gyllenhaal was so frightened by Martin during the filming that she was so nervous that she urinated frequently. For a time, she did not dare to speak or look at Martin.”

The screenwriter's writing was as fast as flying and he quickly jotted it down.

Nolan skillfully concocted the behind-the-scenes footage of the crew that is worthy of publicity and hype. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "Call Michael over."

 Not long after the conference, veteran actor Michael Caine came over and asked, "Chris, what do you want from me?"

Nolan continued to arrange the filming of behind-the-scenes. As early as when he was in Los Angeles, he made an agreement with Orlin and Charles Rowan to use Martin, who is more trouble-making and commercially appealing, as the core of promotion: "When we play together later, Michael, you're going to be so frightened by Martin's performance that you forget your words."

 Michael Caine has worked with Nolan many times and understood his intentions and said: "No problem, I will cooperate with you."

 A few minutes later, filming started again.

This time it was replaced by Martin and Michael Caine.

When Martin's maniacal smile burst out in front of him with a cruel smile, Michael Caine was so frightened that he even forgot his lines for a while.

 “Stuck!” Nolan shouted and stopped.

Kane stepped back and waited for the assistant to bring water. He took a sip of water and then said: "Sorry, my fault."

He looked at Martin with lingering fear: "Young man, you are too scary. I just saw a real clown appear in front of me."

Just at the edge of the set, the screenwriter recorded the footage again: "Michael Caine was so frightened by Martin during filming that he forgot his lines."

 Martin walked up to Kane and asked: "Is it okay?"

Kane forced a smile: "It's much better now."

 Martin was surprised, his acting skills were so good?

Bruce has been paying attention to the movements of the crew. When Martin sat on the lounge chair, he said softly: "Nolan just asked Kane to come over and chat for a few words."

 Martin turned his head and glanced at the director's monitor, and suddenly realized: It was Nolan who was proactively creating stunts.

 Old acquaintance Morgan Freeman came over alone, sat next to Martin, and said, "This crew is very interesting."

 Martin pretended not to know anything and said casually: "Am I too scary?"

“No.” Freeman showed his iconic smile: “On and off the court, on and off the stage, it's all drama, it's exciting.”

 Martin grinned: "Don't you think it's interesting? It adds a lot of fun to boring shooting."

Freeman said: "I am old and can't stand the trouble, so I just watch quietly..."

Before he finished speaking, his step-granddaughter came over.

Freeman stood up to leave: "I'm going back to the hotel. Let's talk later."

 A man and a woman, an old man and a young man, left the studio.

 Martin asked: "Old Bu, when I get old, will I still have such charm?"

"As long as you have enough money, you will still be attractive no matter how old you are." Bruce reminded: "You forget, Jack Nicholson can attract 17-year-old Jennifer Lawrence."

As Martin nodded, he caught a glimpse of Sophia coming again: "She and Belle have a lot in common?"

Bruce said softly: "I asked Scott, Sophia will also go out to hunt for fresh food, but she will return to him soon."

 Martin sighed: “It turns out that the real winner in life is Scott.”

  It's a complete win.

 While eating in the restaurant at noon, Martin chatted with Sophia for a few words.

 “Did you succeed?” he asked.

Sofia shook her head: "It's a bit difficult. When I was discussing fitness with him, I asked about his family situation. According to him, he loves his wife very much."

 Martin revealed a little more appropriately: "This should not be the main reason. As far as I know, he had a sponge tear."

“It seems I have to change my strategy.” Sophia thought there was something wrong with Bell: “Should I be more proactive and forceful?”

She remembered something: "Bell's wife is coming over, let's wait a few days to talk about it."

 Martin asked: “Come over to visit?”

“That's right.” Sofia's iron-like hands fell on Martin's shoulders: “How about you do me a favor? Aren't you good at breaking up couples or boyfriends?”

 How could Martin have the nerve to refuse? After all, he is the sponsor!

 The next morning, Martin met Bale's wife, Hibi Blaczyk, on the set.

That was a tall brown-haired woman who looked to be in her early thirties.

During the break, Martin saw Maggie Gyllenhaal and went over to say hello, and called Bruce: "Let's go and talk to our good friend Bell, and get to know his wife by the way."

 He did not forget to remind: "bring a meeting gift."

Bruce opened the bag he brought, took out a long box, followed Martin, and asked, "What do you want to do?" Martin, wearing clown makeup, turned around and smiled evilly: "Just getting to know my friend's wife."

Bruce felt like something wasn't right.

Before he got there, Martin had already stretched out his arms and said loudly in the most enthusiastic manner: "Chris, is this your wife? Why don't you introduce me?"

Hibi turned his head and saw a strange man with a white face and a red mouth, with his head tilted forward. He felt tight in his heart and subconsciously grabbed Bell's arm.

After all, Bell would not throw away the British gentleman's behavior casually. Although he hated Martin, he still introduced: "Hibby, this is Martin Davis. Martin, this is my wife Hibby - Blachik.”

Martin was not polite at all: "Hello, Shibby, welcome to Atlanta." He smiled heartily: "I am from Atlanta, and I am good friends with Chris. If you need anything here, feel free to contact me. "

 Hibi smiled and responded: "I will, thank you."

 Martin's originally free hand suddenly turned down, and when he turned it up again, he found a business card between his fingers: "My business card."

Hibbi put it away, and out of courtesy gave Martin his business card.

Beier's face flashed with displeasure, but there were many people around him and he had to take care of his wife, so he didn't say anything.

 Martin collected Heebie's business card and invited: “Chris, when are you free, I'll invite you and Heebie to taste Atlanta food.”

Bell stared straight at Martin. The evil face covered in white paint was, in his eyes, even more evil than the clown in the script.

Xibi noticed her husband's displeasure and said, "We'll talk about it later when we have time. I just arrived in Atlanta from Los Angeles. I'm quite tired and need to rest for a few days."

 Martin turned around and took the gift box from Bruce's hand and handed it to Sibi: "Please accept this gift."

 Hibi followed up: "Thank you."

"No need to disturb you." Martin bowed slightly to Mr. and Mrs. Bell and left.

Bell took Hibi to his lounge and said as he walked: "Please pay attention to Martin Davis on the set. He has a problem with his head and is a madman."

Hibi heard that her husband was not getting along with her, so she picked up the gift box and said, "Is it okay to accept this?"

Bell took it and opened it: "Look what it is."

Hibi glanced at it, took it out and held it in his hand, but it turned out to be a sculpture of a clown with makeup and appearance similar to Martin's.

“The crew had high-end craftsmanship on hand,” Bell said.

The statue is more than 30 centimeters long. Xibi just held it by his legs, shook it a few times in his hand, and said, "Why does it feel weird?"

Bell was surprised: "What's so weird?"

Hibi suddenly thought of some type of used object: "Nothing."

Bell suggested: "Throw it away if you don't like it."

“Keep the peripheral products of the crew.” What Xibi thought of was another thing. Since her husband was injured due to a sponge tear, her interest in that area has seriously declined. Keeping this statue is still of some use to her.

Bell ignored the statue and emphasized again: "Be careful with Martin Davis."

 Back in the rest area, Martin sat on a chair and temporarily dismissed the screenwriter who always followed him.

 Bruce was very conscious and asked: "What's the matter?"

Martin asked: "I remember that time at Pinewood Studios, Bell was injured due to a torn sponge. Now that he has recovered from his injury, how is his relationship with his wife?"

Bruce did not answer, but said: "Is it true that, as Leonardo said, you are only interested in beautiful women who are over thirty years old and have a regular male partner? Are you infected by Julie?"

Martin sneered: "How could a noble person like me do such a low-level thing? It's so out of style! Don't forget, I am a truly noble person now."

These words really sound a bit like a clown.

Bruce asked: "What are you going to do?"

"People's choices are all active." Martin already had an idea: "Crazy is everywhere like the gravity of the earth. All we have to do is give people a gentle push on their backs, and they will naturally make choices. "

Bruce was compassionate, held two seconds of silence for Bell, and two seconds later was completely on Martin's side.

 Martin looked around and saw no one, and said, "Go to Robert and ask him to find a few reliable extras from Atlanta. I remember that many of the extras on the crew are from Marietta Company."

 Bruce nodded: "I'll make an appointment with Robert later."

 Martin whispered for a while.

Bruce fully understood Martin's intention, and as expected, he just gave him a gentle push in the back.

 Wait until the crew's break is over and start shooting again.

 Bruce came out of the studio, found a place where no one was around, and called Robert.

 At noon, the two met on the street outside the Gray Film and Television Center.

Robert was wearing a suit, with his hair slicked back, revealing his big head, and he looked like the high priest of the CocCola Cult.

Hearing what Bruce said, he laughed: "This is easy. Many of the extras in the crew were personally taught by me. They are also firm believers in the CocCola Cult. They are willing to sacrifice everything for their beliefs."

Bruce reminded: "This is their spontaneous behavior."

Robert nodded: "Of course!"
