American Fame and Fortune Chapter 404

Chapter 404 Lesson 1: The True Meaning of Photography

In fact, looking back, Cate Blanchett also feels that ever since Heath Ledger became a drug addict, she has always encountered some inexplicable troubles, and even her career has not gone smoothly.

Until now, under the stimulation of one bad thing after another, and being deliberately induced by others, I did the most stupid thing in anger.

The reason is that Blanchett had a completely different idea at this time. Like Bale, she not only stood beside Heath Ledger, but also used her status and influence to challenge Ledger, who was significantly lower than him at the time. Their Martin pressure.

The commander-in-chief elected by the Americans has a famous saying - If you are not on my side, you are on my opposite side.

 She has always been on the opposite side of Martin.

Americans…

Blanchett was helpless. Thinking of the two countries, isn't Australia just a dog to the Americans?

Quili added: "Since we can't fight, it's not a shame to take the initiative to make peace."

Blanchett asked: "Can't CAA think of something for me?"

"This is exactly what I want to say. When you came in, the phone call I answered was from Brian Lord." Quilli said bluntly: "Martin's management contract with WMA is about to expire, and Brian is contacting him. Martin's agent, Thomas Lane, wants to lure them to CAA.”

Blanchett felt what Aniston felt that day: "So, for the sake of the newcomer, I, a somewhat outdated old man, have to take the initiative to make concessions."

She suddenly laughed: "At that time, we used similar methods to put pressure on Aniston, and CAA has not changed."

Quili is very sober: "Our current situation is far inferior to Aniston's. Your commercial appeal is too poor. If you don't take the road of artistic awards, there will be no room for development."

Blanchett recognized the reality when he came and said: "I have publicly bowed to Nicholson, and it is not unacceptable to bow to Martin Davis again."

 Once you give in on the first step, the second step, the third step and so on, everything becomes acceptable.

The crew finished work and everyone came out. Blanchett saw Martin among them. When he was separated from the girl, she took the initiative to find her.

 “Can we talk alone?”

"Wait a minute." Martin pointed to his face: "I need to take off my makeup first. It's too uncomfortable to stick to these."

Blanchett nodded slightly, stepped aside and waited patiently.

When the crew was almost gone, the trailer door opened, and Bruce came out first and made several phone calls.

 Then, Martin came out, waved to Blanchett, and climbed onto the roof of the trailer.

He will not be alone with Blanchett in a confined space. Instead, he will give Blanchett a chance to see how far she can go.

 Blanchett followed.

Standing on a high place, looking at the western sky, the sun that was about to sink into the horizon dyed a large area of ​​clouds red.

Blanchett didn't care how Martin understood it, and said directly: "All the grievances between us started from that afternoon in New York, when Heath Ledger almost bumped into you and Aniston after taking drugs. I did it out of friendship. and the position of the Australian circle, siding with Heath Ledger and putting pressure on you, Aniston and the agency..."

 Martin didn't say anything, but just took a few steps forward, slightly closer to the edge of the trailer.

Blanchett also walked forward, and after talking about the past, he said emphatically: "There are many rumors in Hollywood circles about the Bastard Trio, and they all say that Nicholson led and formed it. In fact, isn't it? You and Isn't Nicholson's conflict about the Joker also fake?”

 Martin neither admitted nor denied: “You've been thinking a lot lately.”

"Yes, I have thought about a lot of things and figured out a lot." Blanchett acted very sincerely, and the personal pain seemed to make people sober: "This is not a problem between me and you, I just want to get involved. , both stupid and redundant.”

After she started talking, it became much easier: "What I pursue is film performance art. I want to be an artist, not a tool for circles and conflicts of interest. There is no personal conflict between you and me. There was no drama conflict, it was just an accidental incident that caused me to make a series of mistakes, which caused a lot of trouble for you.”

 Martin was a little surprised, but soon he was no longer surprised, because the Nicholson scandal really made Blanchett feel severe pain.

Blanchett turned around, faced Martin, bowed deeply, and lowered her head almost to Martin's waist: "I am very sorry for this, and I am not begging for your forgiveness, but from this moment on, I will never do it again." Stand on your opposite side."

Martin looked at Blanchett. He was not Leonardo. He could tell whether he was acting or not from subtle details such as frowning and glaring.

 He lowered his head and glanced under the trailer, and said calmly: "I also hope that our relationship is just the most ordinary peer relationship."

"I believe it will." Blanchett apologized without making any move, turned around, got off the trailer, glanced at Bruce with his arms crossed, and left.

After the others had gone away, Saoirse Ronan came out from behind another car with her camera and said, "What are these for? Can they be sold to the media for money?"

 Bruce asked for the camera, took out the memory card and put it away: "I'll buy you a new one later."

He held Saoirse's handle in his hand and could control the little girl, and said: "If it were not too late, I would not come to you."

Saoirse was confused.

 Martin got out of the trailer, took out the recorder and handed it to Bruce, and said to Saoirse: "Remember this lesson, if a good person wants to gain a foothold, he must first learn how to protect himself."

 The shooting just now satisfied Saoirse's desire for snooping, and Martin's words aroused her thirst for knowledge.

Saoirse thought for a while and said, "If you don't talk to her in the trailer, are you worried that she will take advantage of women's characteristics and slander you?"

 Martin just looked at her. Saoirse added: "Lao Bu asked me to come over to shoot again. Normally I don't use it... That's not right. Why did you choose it on top of the trailer? Because you want to see the Michoud Equipment Factory?"

“Do you think everyone is like you, with a hole in their head?” Martin assumed the posture of a teacher and scolded him first.

Saoirse shrank her neck: "I can't figure it out."

Martin said: "I want to help her create an opportunity, and also see her courage and bottom line in doing things." He pointed to the top of the trailer: "There are only two people on it. If her bottom line is low enough, courageous enough, and confident enough about herself, Oh, you can jump down and tell me to push her down."

Saoirse looked at the camera in her hand with the memory card removed: "So, you want to take pictures of them all?"

In fact, Bruce said it nicely, Saoirse was not the only one who actually photographed it.

Saoirse understood: "She slandered us, and we released the video during the wave of public opinion to give her a fatal blow."

 Martin did not answer. He went to the trailer to get his bag and mobile phone: "Let's go back to the hotel."

Saoirse hurriedly followed, looked at Martin, looked at Bruce, and said to herself that luckily she listened to Leonardo's threats and kept her mouth shut, otherwise...

 Who are these teachers and Lao Bu!

If Cate Blanchett really wants to have any evil intentions, she will definitely be crippled by the teacher!

Saoirse suddenly realized that the teacher said that she must first teach her the true meaning of photography. Is this the true meaning of photography? I used to take random pictures with a camera, just like a voyeuristic fool!

Arriving at the filming parking lot, Saoirse got into her mother's car, waved to her, and left the studio first.

Bruce got into the car and started the ignition. When Martin got into the passenger seat, he asked, "Aren't you afraid of teaching people bad things by teaching like this?"

“This is to teach her, an idiot, how to protect herself.” Martin put on his seat belt: “Old Bu, don't you think being a teacher and teaching students is a very interesting thing?”

Bruce drove out of the studio gate: "I thought your greatest pleasure was to steal other people's girlfriends or wives."

“Don't imitate Leonardo and slander people indiscriminately.” Martin emphasized: “The joy of teachers teaching students is different from others.”

Bruce didn't want to discuss this anymore, lest he be affected and become even more perverted, and asked: “Did Blanchett make peace with you?”

Martin said: "She took the initiative to apologize to me and expressed her intention to never stand against us again. I told her that from now on it will be the most ordinary peer relationship."

Bruce knew Martin well and understood what he meant as soon as he heard it: "If Blanchett is really as she said, she is just an ordinary colleague whom we simply know. On the contrary, she is an ordinary colleague who has fierce competition with us?"

 Martin gave a thumbs up: "Old Bu, your reading comprehension can get full marks!"

 Arriving at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel where the crew stayed, Martin saw people sitting in the lounge as soon as he entered the lobby.

Leonardo and Nicholson arrived unannounced and were chatting with Tilda Swinton.

Wearing a beige sweater and sky blue jeans, Elizabeth Olsen strode over, hugged Martin and gave him a passionate kiss.

Martin had no scruples and hugged her back and kissed her passionately.

 He is already well-known in this regard.

 Martin asked: "Why did you come here suddenly?"

Elizabeth looked at Bar Refaeli who was also sitting in the rest area: "I heard from Bar that they were coming to visit the class together, so I took Leo's private plane and came together."

Just as the two were about to pass, Saoirse Ronan came from behind and asked: "Teacher, is the Coke Saint your girlfriend?"

“CocCola Saint? Me?” Elizabeth asked curiously.

“You don't know.” Saoirse wanted to put away the camera that had secretly taken photos: “After you filmed the commercial with Martin, many people on the Internet called you the Coke Saint.”

Thinking that Martin is the leader of the Coke Cult, Elizabeth smiled sweeter than Coke: "I like this nickname."

 She then remembered: "Who are you?"

 “Saoirse Ronan, Martin's student.” Saoirse's humble demeanor hides a strong desire for prying eyes.

 Elizabeth knew who it was: "I'm Elizabeth Olsen."

Martin saw that Saoirse was about to make a move, and decided to give the new students a little teacher's loving care, calling to the two of them: "They are waiting for us."

Elizabeth has a good impression of Saoirse, and the age difference is not big: "Introduce a few friends to you."

Saoirse saw Leonardo and Nicholson and said to herself that I would recognize them without introducing them.

But she couldn't refuse, so she could only go with him.

Several people said hello, and Tilda Swinton left first.

Leonardo, the bastard, of course did not forget Saoirse. He bared his teeth and asked, "Little guy, you are good at keeping your mouth shut. There is no need to silence you for the time being!"

I went out to have a big banquet N times in a row and gave away thousands of dollars. It turned out that the three Yangs were prosperous, which was really unlucky. I've been suffering from a lot of three yangs lately, and it's very uncomfortable. Not only do I have a fever, my hemorrhoids hurt like a knife, my broken arm when I was a kid feels like severe rheumatism, my head is about to burst, and it's like all the uncoordinated parts of my body have been activated at once. My fever is down and my other symptoms are easing. My wife was infected by me and is going through a similar situation. My daughter started coughing, it was really bad.
