American Fame and Fortune Chapter 394

Chapter 394: Bald

 At Benjamin Studio, Elizabeth signed her name on the actor's contract and got her first real movie role in her life.

 Caroline in her youth, the daughter of the hero and heroine Daisy.

 When you are acting, you should call Martin Daddy.

Thinking of this, Elizabeth scratched her face and felt an indescribable strange feeling.

 Should we go to Martin to rehearse the show in advance? Eighteen-year-old Elizabeth's head was full of random thoughts: "Should I call Martin first and express my gratitude?"

Out of the office, agent Martha reminded: "Liz, Martin is the key to your being able to get this role. Don't forget to call to express your gratitude in person."

Elizabeth had already taken out her cell phone, picked it up, shook it, and said, "I'll make a call when I go out."

 After leaving the studio, she immediately called Martin's phone. When the call was connected, she said: "Martin, it's me, Elizabeth, are you free at noon? I would like to treat you to lunch."

Martin replied: "If you have time, where?"

“There's a nice restaurant in Sherman Oaks.” Elizabeth said the address cheerfully.

“No problem, we'll meet at the restaurant at 11:30.”

After receiving Martin's reply, Elizabeth couldn't help but speed up, got on the battery car, hung up the phone, and called her agent: "Martha, hurry up."

Martha waved her hand: "You go first, I have other things to do."

Elizabeth stepped on the store door, and the battery car rushed out with a roar.

On the other side, on the roof of Nicholson's mansion, Martin swung the club, and the golf ball flew dozens of meters and hit the iron barrel in the yard with a bang.

 Leonardo laughed: "The challenge failed, you lose!"

 Martin put down his cue, took out five dollars, and put it into Leonardo's hand: "You win."

Nicholson said: "If you make progress, just practice more."

 Leonardo thought of something: "Jack, did we open a handicap?"

Nicholson is older and his memory is not that good: "What kind of handicap?"

 “About Weinstein.” Leonardo reminded: “Georgina Chapman.”

Nicholson remembered it, did some calculations, and said, "It's not time yet."

 Martin packed his things: "The bad things you said have nothing to do with me."

 “You also wanted to place a bet then,” Leonardo said.

Martin heard something faintly, looked at the mansion on the other side of Nicholson's house, and changed the topic: "Someone was moving things out over there at Marlon Brando, and there was also a van."

Nicholson said: "The house was sold while Malone was alive. Alimony and legal battles for several children consumed all his savings and assets. He also used copyright income as collateral to borrow large sums of money from the bank. , In the end, I was unable to repay the loan, and even the union share was gone, so I had to move to a trailer and live on relief and the basic benefits of the Screen Actors Guild.”

Martin reminded: "We must not mix up like this in the future."

 Leonardo nodded repeatedly, pointed to his neighbor on the other side of Nicholson and said, "We're going to be Warren Beatty."

 Martin sneered: "You actually betrayed the trio and wanted to get married!"

 Leonardo then remembered that Warren Beatty finally got married, and quickly changed his words: "Warren Beatty before marriage."

He did not forget to mention Tai Martin: "Don't you consider buying Malone's house? Your house on Coty Road is too small, and you can't even hold a carnival party."

“Let's wait until we change the house.” Martin glanced at his watch: “I won't talk to you anymore, I have an appointment at noon.”

Nicholson answered: "I heard your call, don't you consider taking the two of us there? With our assists, you can succeed in the afternoon."

Leonardo put his arm around Martin's shoulders: "You won't forget your love and leave the two old brothers here and go on a date with a beautiful woman, right?"

Nicholson exclaimed: "Martin is certainly not this kind of person." He was not polite at all, picked up his coat and left: "Leo, hurry up, we can't keep the lady waiting."

"Wait!" Martin called to them and said, "The beauty said this is a date for two people and they cannot bring a third person there."

He didn't want to bring these two guys with him again: "It's different this time. I'm going to explore the road first. If I need your help, I will call you as soon as possible. Compared with the two of you, I have less experience, poor skills, and poor capital. Bo, I must ask you for advice.”

 Leonardo just made a gesture, Nicholson was not worried, he still had to hold back a little.

If he really went to cause trouble, when he was picking up girls, Martin would definitely have the guts to set off a ton of fireworks to add to the fun.

 “Forget it, I wish you good luck.” Leonardo waved his hand casually.

Martin said to Nicholson again: "Don't forget our agreement, it is not suitable for us to appear outside together now." Nicholson nodded: "Yes, we will wait until The Dark Knight is released."

Martin left quickly and called Bruce when he went downstairs. By the time he arrived at the door of the villa, Bruce had already driven the car over.

Getting in the car, Martin gave the address and warned: "Go around twice more and be careful those two guys follow."

As the car drove out of the gate, Brewster turned around twice to make sure Nicholson and Leonardo were not following before rushing to Sherman Oaks.

Martin was worried, so he turned around and stared for a while, but found nothing else. Instead, he found the van in Marlon Brando's yard, turning north from a three-way intersection.

This reminded him of what Leonardo had said about the house and the party, and he asked: "Should we change to a bigger house?"

Bruce said: "The current one is too small?"

Martin said: "Let's wait until next year."

Bruce suddenly remembered something and said: "Pete has reached a settlement with several victims and will pay a considerable amount of money. I heard that he was short of cash on hand and sold several properties on the east coast."

“Brother, if you catch Pete masturbating alone, Pete will become bald.” That's what Martin said, but he thought it was worth paying attention to.

He asked: "I remember Pete had a super mansion in Beverly Hills?"

Bruce pays attention to Pitt from time to time and knows more about it. He said: "Before Pitt married Aniston in 2001, he spent nearly 13 million US dollars to buy a super mansion. It was his pre-marital property and is also Pitt's current residence."

Martin thought about it, are good people going to the end?

Bruce added: "The mansion was built in 1934. When Peter bought it, the house was relatively dilapidated. He hired a company to renovate it, and it was said to have cost tens of millions. Although the architectural appearance of the mansion has not changed, the actual completion has not been completed. several years."

 Martin made a decision: "Let Ivan keep an eye over there. If Pete plans to sell this mansion, remember to notify me."

Bruce said: "I think Pete will thank you for taking his worries into consideration in advance."

 Martin has the consciousness to be a good person: "If Peter is anxious to sell at a low price, we will help him. If he doesn't sell, we will talk about it later."

Soon, the car arrived in the commercial district of Sherman Oaks and stopped in front of a French restaurant.

Martin got off the car and entered the restaurant. Before asking the waiter, he saw Elizabeth Olsen in a white dress walking over quickly.

 “You're here.” Elizabeth had a sweet smile on her face, and her extremely fitting white dress highlighted her youthful and delicate curves.

 Martin made a phone call gesture: "I rushed over immediately after receiving your call."

Elizabeth walked to the booth, invited Martin to sit down, and sat opposite him. She raised her head and chest, and said: "While I was on the phone, I seemed to hear Leonardo's voice. He and Jack Nickell Sen…”

 “They didn't come.” Martin smiled sheepishly: “I'm sorry about what happened last time.”

Speaking of the last time, Elizabeth felt a little uncomfortable. She had been preparing for such a long time, but was interrupted. Later, Martin did not take the initiative to ask her out to explain.

 Martin, who can roughly guess what Elizabeth was thinking, specifically said: "In February, I accepted a role and locked myself in a hotel for more than 40 days, cutting off contact with the outside world, and studying the role all the time."

Elizabeth remembered and said: "Clown? Nicholson is still arguing with you about this?"

Martin solemnly said: "This role is indeed difficult to grasp, and it is easy to mess with people's mentality. I fell completely into the character, and even had mental problems. It scared many people on the set, including Maggie Gyllenhaal and Michael... When Kane acted opposite me, I was so frightened that I forgot my words.”

He was helpless: "This is a very scary character. You will see it when the trailer for The Dark Knight is released. I was too deeply involved in the play and forgot everything. There was only the Joker in my mind. Even Bell, who was also too deeply involved in the play, , touched me during non-filming time..."

 Elizabeth covered her mouth in surprise. She was an insider herself and had heard of similar cases. This was not particularly uncommon in Hollywood.

"The crew asked me to keep this matter secret, I..." Martin paused: "I just want to explain it to you clearly."

 Elizabeth nodded vigorously: "I will never tell anyone." She asked with concern: "Are you feeling better now?"

  Martin told the truth: "I go to the psychological clinic every week, and the problem is not particularly serious."

Elizabeth thought of the rumors in the industry. Many people who had worked with Martin said that he was a dedicated and good actor, and said: "Martin, you work too hard."

 Then he felt a little envious: "It would be great if I could have half of your acting talent."

Martin encouraged: "You are also very outstanding. We have worked together before. I know very well how outstanding you are. As long as there is the right opportunity, Elizabeth, you may become more famous than your sisters."

These words sounded good, and Elizabeth smiled unconsciously: "I hope so, thank you for your encouragement. By the way, I also want to thank you specifically. I got the role of young Caroline, and Thomas said you said hello to the crew."

 Martin smiled: "Don't take it to heart, we are friends."

 “I owe you many times.” Elizabeth waved to the waiter to take the order.

 The two of them were back to their old self, chatting lively.
