American Fame and Fortune Chapter 422

Chapter 422 Uncle Mei has made progress again

On the set, Bruce handed Martin a classic Nokia 1100 and said, "Don't worry about the action. I put the bullet in with my own hands and it won't fall off."

Martin put it in his pocket, picked up the pistol, picked up the black bag containing the UMP45, and entered the set.

  Kross, a marketing director of Nokia, came to Bruce and handed him a handbag: "A little thought."

 Bruce did not answer and asked, "Mr. Director, what does this mean?"

 Cross said: "Nokia intends to hire Mr. Davis to serve as Nokia's global image spokesperson for a long time. Please put in a good word."

 Bruce took the bag.

 Clos smiled and stepped aside.

 When the shooting begins, all non-involved personnel must hold their breath.

 The role is nothing more than that, don't be timid, just do it!

With the Martin submachine gun on his shoulder, he marched in standard tactical movements, firing from time to time. Every time a gunshot rang out, a gunman fell to the ground on the opposite side.

The banging sound of blank bullets spread throughout the open-air studio.

 The submachine gun ran out of bullets, and Martin took out his pistol.

After finishing the nearly half-minute long shot, he took a breath. During the filming of the next scene, he picked up the rocket launcher and pulled the trigger on a fleeing car. The car burst into flames with a roar. , the momentum is much greater than Nicholson's RPG fireworks.

 Throwing away the bazooka, Martin took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call. The camera approached along the slide rail and gave a close-up of the Nokia mobile phone. A pistol bullet was stuck on the straight body and the screen was completely shattered.

 Martin didn't care about this, dialed the number with one click, and made a call.

　　A message that Mene had recorded in advance sounded on the set: "Jonathan..."

"Stop! This one has passed!" Chad glanced at Martin and said loudly: "Have a rest for half an hour."

 The crew also needs time to transition.

Martin returned to the rest area, threw the Nokia to Bruce, sat down on the chair, took the kettle from Old Boo, drank a few sips, and said: "Old Jack should really come over and see what fireworks are."

"Such fireworks would cause a fire if placed in Warren Beatty's house." Bruce continued, and then placed the handbag given to him by the marketing director of Nokia on the small table beside Martin.

He said directly: "Nokia wants you to be its global image spokesperson. Let me help you say a few good words."

 Martin glanced at the handbag: "Just keep your things. I heard the good things."

The two guys worked very well together, and Bruce was not polite and took the handbag away: "Give it to Kim and Khloe later."

Mene held his trouser pocket with one hand and walked over with a bossy look. He sat on the chair next to him and seemed to have fully assumed the role: "Jonathan, you will make the high table unhappy if you go on a killing spree like this. They will send someone here." Deal with it."

Bruce responded: "I know that the High Table is planning to send a 50-year-old female judge." He turned to Menei's side and patted his shoulder: "Winston, we believe that with your speaking skills, This female judge can definitely be dealt with."

Mene said: "Leave it to me."

 Martin patted him and reminded: "Be sure to take it easy."

Meine smiled: "This is my most important role, and I must play it well."

His topic jumps very quickly. He was still talking about work at the beginning, and then he talked about what he is best at: "Martin, you went to take pictures a few days ago. Guess who I met in the hotel?"

Bruce interjected: "It can't be Paris Hilton's mother."

"It's good to meet Paris's mother. It's better than that woman always pestering me. She's too young and doesn't suit my taste." Uncle Menet sighed with emotion, and then said: "I met Celine Dion. , and asked her for an autographed photo.”

Bruce asked: "That female singer who was raised when she was twelve or thirteen years old?"

 Martin had a rough impression: "It seems to be her current husband, right?"

Meine nodded and said: "I chatted with Celine for a while. She seemed to be a little depressed, so she came to New York early to prepare for this year's METGALA."

 Martin has read relevant reports in his previous life. It seems that Celine Dion later changed into a male model as quickly as she changed clothes.

  It was really pulled down from the front, and it was all made up as I got older.

Meine asked: “Can you help me get tickets to METGALA?”

 Martin responded: "Leave it to me."

Although admission tickets are charged, not just anyone can buy them. Martin plans to ask Warner's Daniel to get a few more.

Bruce asked: "You don't want to do anything with Celine Dion, do you? What about Emma Thomas?"

Mene distinguished: "Emma and Nolan are there."

 Martin was too lazy to pay attention to these two people. When he saw Marcus coming with the dog, he shouted: "Daisy!"

 The dog immediately ran over, wagging its tail and circling around Martin.

 Martin found the prepared dried meat and fed it to Daisy. In the next scene, Daisy comes on stage and is brutally killed, which also kicks off the story of you taking my life and I taking yours.

After lunch, Martin was about to go into the trailer to rest, and Nokia's marketing director Cross came over.

"Mr. Davis, I heard that you used Nokia mobile phones for a long time when you were in Atlanta and Los Angeles." He directly stated his intention: "Nokia intends to invite you to be the brand's global image spokesperson. I wonder if you have interest?"

 Martin thought for a moment and said, "You have to talk to my agent Thomas. I can't make any work commitments without him being present."

 Chlos said: “I will contact WMA immediately.”

 Martin went into the trailer for a lunch break, slept for a while, and woke up on time. Not long after, Bruce came over with his mobile phone.

He said: "Thomas called me about the Nokia endorsement."

 Martin took the cell phone and dialed back.

Thomas said: "Nokia is very sincere in cooperation and has initially issued a four-year endorsement contract worth up to US$12 million per year."

"The salary is okay, but the contract period is too long, two years at most." Martin recalled carefully that Nokia's serious decline in his previous life should have happened 10 years later. He couldn't remember the specific year. Anyway, it was 10 years later. In two or three years, he fell from the altar.

He added: "If Nokia insists on a long-term contract, we will give up."

Thomas did not ask why. The most important reason why he has been able to cooperate with Martin in the past few years is that he will implement Martin's decision without compromise. He immediately responded: "I booked a flight and will go to New York today to work with Nokia." people to interview.”

 Martin said a few more words and hung up the phone.

Commercial endorsements are one of his important incomes. If a brand declines significantly during his endorsement period, it is impossible to say that it will not have a negative impact on him.

 Even when other manufacturers discuss business cooperation with him, they will think of the brands that have failed during the endorsement period.

 In this regard, Martin has seen a lot, such as Jack Chen and a certain pop king in Hong Kong City. Many of the brands he endorsed have died.

Especially for Jack Chen, at least ten of his endorsed brands have died. He is simply the king of advertising poisons.

Although there are still some manufacturers who do not believe in evil, more brands will not consider them at all when looking for commercial endorsements.

 Martin chose a two-year contract, which was also stuck in Nokia's final glory.

Originally, he asked Thomas to pay attention to Apple mobile phones, but Apple's best spokesperson in recent years has been Jobs and will not use other stars.

 The afternoon shooting was a rare literary act for the crew.

 Martin enters the Continental Hotel and has several conversations with Winston, played by Mene.

 In the past few years, Mene has been using his tongue for a long time, which may have improved the flexibility of his facial muscles. His acting skills have improved a lot. He plays the mature, steady and reserved owner of the Continental Hotel in New York, which is quite bluffing.

 The sound produced by the vocal cords became thicker after being poured with special substances. Especially when playing against Martin, the sentence "Jonathan" he said had a feeling of penetrating people's hearts.

Alexandra Daddario also joined the filming. She actually didn't have many roles, but she stayed on the set for a long time under the guise of learning and observing.

Her father helped the crew a lot during location shooting, so of course she couldn't refuse.

This actress from a good family background has entered the film and television industry since 2001, but after seven years, she has not even become famous, let alone become popular.

Alexandra mainly stared at Martin, but she was also very discerning. When Martin was busy or tired, she would never come to disturb him.

As long as Martin is really free, she will come to him to ask for advice on acting.

“I feel that the character settings in this film are relatively simple.”

 In the rest area, Alexandra held her head high and asked, "This female killer seems a little more complicated than the heroine."

Martin nodded slightly: "She knew Jonathan and had an old relationship with him, but she still wanted to kill him for money, and finally died in his hands. In fact, there is no need for anything else in the performance, as long as the two points of greed and ruthlessness are highlighted, it is enough. "

“Yes, the biggest characteristics of the character are these two things.” Alexandra knows how to highlight her own advantages and wears tight-fitting, low-necked T-shirts.

Martin is a serious person, so naturally he doesn't pay much attention to these things. He said: "If you want to make a breakthrough in performance, you must first find the biggest characteristic of the character, and then maximize this characteristic. It will easily leave a deep impression on others."

 Alexandra rubbed her face: “What kind of role is suitable for me?”

Martin thought of True Detective, earthquakes and beaches, all super large vases, but he would not say this: "There are many acting classes in Los Angeles, and there must be many here in New York. You can find a more reliable one to further strengthen your learning. "

Alexandra nodded repeatedly. I don't know if she was used to it. She nodded very loudly, causing the other two heads to shake up and down. It always felt like an earthquake.

  The crew finished work in the afternoon, and Martin was preparing to return to the hotel.

Alexandra came over again and invited: "Tomorrow weekend, there will be a party for the cultural and art circles in Manhattan. Are you interested in going to see it?"

 Martin certainly cannot refuse someone's kind invitation.
