American Fame and Fortune Chapter 437

Chapter 437 Making some extra money

In the exhibition hall of the Museum of Modern Art in Los Angeles, Casey Affleck waved a check, once again showing his elegant artistic taste and masculine charm, and bought a hardwood carving work by Lily Carter.

 Lily and Cassie stood on both sides of the sculpture and took a photo together.

 Then, the two had a lively discussion about this work in the crowded exhibition hall.

 Lily has just received a five-digit payment for goods. She is very professional and will answer all the engraving questions asked by Cassie.

Kathy also made some preparations. Not only did she prepare the money, but she also read about some art sculptures.

Seeing Lily's eyes always wandering around his body, Cassie felt more and more that she was getting closer to catching the prey.

Lily was thinking about getting another one tomorrow. Should she raise the price further?

Just when Cassie was about to send out the invitation, the female student with the tag hurried over and informed Lily: "The tutor asked me to inform you that there will be a discussion meeting later, so hurry up and get there."

"Okay." Lily responded to her classmates first, and then said to Cassie apologetically: "I'm sorry, the college and the tutor have important matters, and I have to go there."

She felt that Cassie's wallet could still be filled: "Shall we discuss the remaining issues tomorrow?"

 When Cassie saw the positive feedback, she nodded and said, "No problem, I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow afternoon."

Lily waved to him and left quickly with her classmates.

After leaving the exhibition hall, the female classmate admired her wholeheartedly: "Sister, you are so amazing!"

 Lily pulled her and said, "Watch your mouth, understand."

The female classmate quickly swore: "I won't mention it to anyone."

 Lily went to the warehouse and opened a box. There were many carvings in the box, all of which were used for daily practice.

Since Cassie Affleck thinks these exercise supplies are full of art, of course she has to sell them to him at a high price.

 Coming out of the warehouse, Lily met a female mentor in her fifties.

“I heard that your new works on the exhibition stand have been sold again?”

“Yes, that person was very generous with his money.” Lily knew she couldn't hide it: “It's still the same person who bought the sculpture yesterday.”

The female tutor reminded: “It's a good thing that the work can be sold, but you must also pay attention to the fact that people's hearts are very complicated.”

Lily could hear her mentor's kindness: "I will only meet him in the exhibition hall." She has been greatly influenced by Martin in recent years, and immediately turned to favors: "Madam, Mene is in Las Vegas, I want to ask him If you get a signed photo, he will send it by air express as quickly as possible.”

 Perhaps some actors are born to be master killers. The female mentor laughed heartily and said, "Remember to tell me when the time comes."

 Lily said: "No problem."

 When the female mentor left, she was walking with a bumpy head.

 At the next gathering of high-end and successful women in the art world, she will have more to show off.

Las Vegas, Caesars Palace.

 In Celine Dion's luxurious suite, Mene changed into formal clothes, took a Polaroid camera, and came to the living room.

 “Want to take a picture of me?” Celine Dion held her waist with one hand, like a willow weeping in the wind.

Meine took a photo of her first, and while waiting for the photo to take shape, he stepped back a few steps and put on his most handsome pose: "Take a photo for me. A fan asked me for an autographed photo, and I will mail it to her."

 “Your fan? Female?” Celine Dion picked up the Polaroid and took a photo of Mene.

Meine is also a bit proud: "Although my status in the film industry is not as high as yours in the music industry, I still have a large number of supporters."

 After the photo was finished and Mene signed his name on the back, Celine Dion called the suite butler and asked the hotel to send it by air express as quickly as possible.

As long as you are willing to spend money, these are trivial matters.

 After doing this, Celine Dion took Mene out of the room, preparing to go downstairs for entertainment.

 Two people cannot stay in the room all the time.

 Celine Dion discovered something in the past two days. Because she was worried about body edema, she had strictly controlled her drinking water for a long time. Recently, she lost a lot of water, resulting in dry skin, split ends, and deepened wrinkles...

 To avoid continuing to lose a lot of water, she needs to use other entertainment to distract her energy.

Meine accompanies Celine Dion to visit Caesar's Palace. He doesn't need to pay for it anyway, so he just enjoys it.

 Celine Dion is very rich and is said to have assets worth hundreds of millions.

 But Uncle Mene is not interested in this. What he likes is Celine Dion.

 If you have money, can you let Uncle Mene play with you? What a joke.

That afternoon, Mene's signed photo was transferred from Las Vegas to Los Angeles via air express, and was delivered to Lily as quickly as possible.

 Lily made a special trip to visit her tutor and sent him a signed photo. The instructor was very happy.

 North Hollywood, inside a restaurant.

The Affleck brothers came to the reserved booth together, sat down and waited patiently.

 Ben made an appointment with Judi Dench for dinner.

Before anyone arrived, Ben asked his younger brother Cassie: "What's going on here?"

Kathy smiled with a ruthless and extremely confident smile: "How difficult is it for a little girl who studies sculpture art all day long and is immersed in the art world? My progress is very smooth, and she took the initiative to ask me to meet again tomorrow."

Ben nodded: "Lily Carter is from Atlanta and must know many unknown things about Martin Davis. Don't be anxious. Wait until the time is right before you take the initiative to talk to her. Don't make her alert."

"You know how many little girls like this I have won." Cassie's past record is her confidence: "It's just a matter of spending some money, time and energy."

 Oben didn't take it too seriously. After all, she was just a 19-year-old girl who was still in the ivory tower.

Casey asked: "You have found Judi Dench and are you going to take action yourself?"

Daben is more cautious: "I'll check the specific situation first. I haven't had much to do recently, and I can still make some extra money. Martin's current girlfriend, Elizabeth Olsen, is at the Adler Acting School."

Cassie was somewhat doubtful: "Sisters Olsen..."

"It's easier than Julie and Aniston." Ben also weighed it carefully: "Those two women have a close relationship with Martin Davis, and they will definitely fly together, but what can we do with them? They are The leader of Mitu will be bitten if he doesn't do it right, which is very troublesome.”

Casey said: "It's not easy to turn Martin Davis into the next Pete."

But Ben said: "I have inquired carefully. Martin bought Pitt's luxurious mansion in Beverly Hills from other people and is currently renovating it. You should have heard from Pitt that David Fincher directed On the set of "Benjamin", the leading actor was interested in Pitt, but in the end it was Martin..."

“And there are Jolie and Aniston.” Cassie suddenly discovered something amazing: “Martin slept with Pitt's girlfriend and wife, took Pitt's house and Cadillac endorsement, and even stole Pitt's role!”

Ben pursed his lips: "Although I don't know what he did specifically, judging from the results, Martin Davis is too evil, and our actions are naturally just."

 Judi Dench came in from outside at this time, Ben went to greet her, and the two came back together to sit down.

After ordering the meal, Judi Dench took out a cigarette, lit it, and asked directly: "Ben, you want to see me for something."

Both parties are members of the Weinstein circle. Although Judi Dench is not as closely related to Harvey as the Affleck brothers and Matt Damon, she specifically had Harvey's name tattooed in order to compete for the Oscar. on the ass, even declaring that she would be willing to show anyone how much she admired Harvey if they wanted to.

 So, Ben said directly: "I heard that you work part-time as a teacher at the Adler Acting School?"

This acting school was founded by Stella Adler, the most famous acting teacher in Hollywood, such as Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson and others are all students who came out of her acting class.

 Judi Dench understood what Ben said and asked: "What, are you also interested in doing part-time work?"

 Daben was helpless: “I have no projects to work on recently, and it costs money to support my family. I want to make some extra money.”

 Judi Dench really doesn't think highly of Ben's acting skills, and even thinks that people like Ben don't understand what acting is like, so it goes without saying that he teaches students.

 But the other party was Harvey's best friend and one of the core members of the Foot Gang, so she decided to help: "I will say hello to the school."

Adler Acting School has also changed with the times. In order to attract students and earn high tuition fees, the teacher's acting skills only need to meet the basic standards, and reputation is the key.

 Judi Dench found a business card and gave it to Ben: "After you receive my message, call her yourself. With your reputation, it won't be a big problem."

Ben smiled and said: "Thank you, Judy." He picked up the wine glass: "I respect you."

Cassie also picked up the wine glass.

 The three of them drank a glass of wine together, chatted about interesting things about the foot gang, and enjoyed dinner.

 The summer season of 2008 has already begun. In the most recent weekend, the North American premiere box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" exceeded US$100 million, further increasing market popularity.

 "The Dark Knight" will be fully launched in North American theaters on July 18, and various promotional work has been fully launched.

Normal publicity is nothing more than outdoor advertising, soft media articles, TV advertisements, theater promotions, etc. These years have long formed a fixed program, and it is difficult to play tricks anymore.

 In this regard, Warner Bros. has been making progress step by step.

On the other hand, the publicity team directly led by Nolan himself has continuously released various real behind-the-scenes videos to further attract the attention of passers-by.

Among the many comic superheroes in North America, Batman is firmly in the top two. As long as the film is not too poorly shot, the basic box office is guaranteed. But for the box office to really explode, it also depends on its appeal to passerby audiences. .

 The various unconventional publicity and hype discussed by Martin and Nolan are also aimed at passerby audiences.

This week, Warner Bros. held a preview specifically for "The Dark Knight". As the previous Joker, Jack Nicholson also appeared at the preview.
