Chapter 464: Hit someone but don't slap them in the face
At a Los Angeles country club, a drunken Brad Pitt met the producer David Larter who invited him over in a reception room.
ˆThe latter directly stated his intention: "Pete, I would like to invite you to star in a movie as the leading actor."
Peter wiped his long blond hair to the back of his head because it had not been washed for too long. When his hands fell down, they sparkled under the light.
Opposite David Larter was a former executive of Village Roadshow Pictures and participated in the production of the "Matrix" series. Pitt knew him before: "I heard that you left Village Roadshow Pictures and co-founded a company. movie company?"
Later said: "Shelter Pictures, independent production and distribution."
Pitt was so depressed that he couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Did you just say that you would let me be the leading actor?"
“Of course!” Larter took out the script and handed it to Peter: “Absolutely the leading actor!”
Pete looked at the script, and the name on it turned out to be "Titanic"!
No, there is a number 2 in the middle.
Pete was confused and asked, "Have you obtained the authorization for the sequel?"
"No authorization is required. The name Titanic is not exclusive to a certain movie." Larter briefly introduced: "This is not a sequel to the movie, but after the sinking of the Titanic, there was a man-made Titanic 2 ship that set off from the UK. Heading to North America…”
Even if Peter was down and out and drank too much, he still felt unreliable after hearing it.
Even unreliable is not enough to describe it.
Larter attaches great importance to Pitt's fame. Even notoriety is fame, not to mention that the films he made are quite special: "Titanic 2's investment reached the highest level since the establishment of the shelter, 500,000 US dollars! The previous films we invested in were all 250,000 US dollars. dollar cap.”
Pete suddenly thought: "Isn't this Sparta? The Age of Transformation and 100 million years of prehistory were all taken by you?"
Late smiled and responded: "Yes, they are all masterpieces of Shelter Pictures."
In Martin's previous life, there was a saying on the Internet that the most tragic thing in the world was to spend a few hours downloading a 2G movie, only to find out after opening it that it was a copycat blockbuster produced by Shelter Pictures.
Peter rubbed his face, had he fallen to this point?
But he needed money: “Where's the salary?”
Later said: "$50,000."
“What?” Pete suspected that he heard wrongly: “Are you kidding, $50,000?”
Later was silent for a moment and said: "The maximum I can give you is 100,000 US dollars. Any more production fees will not be enough."
Peter stood up and left without saying a word.
This is simply insulting him!
The door to the reception room opened and closed. Larter couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "You still think of yourself as a big Hollywood star? If it were any other company, they wouldn't have given him $30,000."
Pete didn't stop for a moment outside the door. He left the country club directly and came to the parking lot. When he saw the slightly old BMW, he stopped again.
Peter actually still has some assets, but he needs money to reinvest them. The problem is that he has no cash on hand.
Even small banks were unwilling to lend him money, seemingly convinced that he would go bankrupt.
This role costs $100,000.
Pete wanted to go back, but the self-esteem he had developed over the past two decades as a big star did not allow him to go back.
Suddenly a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came over next to him, ending Peter's self-embarrassment.
He asked: "Are you Brad Pitt?"
Pete didn't recognize him: “Who are you?”
The man quickly stretched out his hand to shake Pete's hand, but instead held a hand full of oil.
He took back his hand and wiped it on his pants secretly, and said, "My name is Bjorkman, I am an agent. I heard that CAA has terminated your contract?"
Hitting someone without slapping someone in the face made Pete look unhappy.
Bjorkman said quickly: "I have no other intention, I just want to introduce you to a job and see if we can cooperate."
Peter just missed a sum of money and subconsciously asked: "What job?"
Bjorkman immediately took out his business card and handed it to Pitt: "You are the absolute leading actor in a big-budget film. If you are willing to join, I guarantee that the minimum salary will not be less than US$5 million, or even higher!"
In the past, Peter would not even look at such a salary, but now he was extremely tempted when he heard it, and asked: "Which company, which film project?"
Bjorkman said: "We are the most powerful company in the Sacred Valley. It is up to you to choose the project. You can write the plot or even direct and act yourself."
Although Brad Pitt was sentenced to a quasi-death sentence by Hollywood, once his film Sacred Valley appeared on the market, it would definitely be super popular.
"You actually..." Peter was inexplicably sad and angry: "You actually want me to do this kind of job!"
Bjorkman was unhappy: “This is work that is permitted by law, full of art, and well-received by North American audiences!”
Peter subconsciously raised his fist.
Bjorkman raised his head and showed up, waiting for his fist to land on his face. Not everyone can encounter such a good opportunity.
Peter endured it, got in the car, closed the door, and sat in the driver's seat without saying a word.
Bjorkman left the place without saying anything more. He felt that the two might meet again because Pete was so angry that he didn't throw away the business card.
In the car, Peter was confused for a while, then unconsciously opened the armrest box and put the business card inside.
At the beginning of October, Cartier and Martin held a grand signing ceremony at the Los Angeles Music Center, officially appointing Martin as the image spokesperson of Cartier men's watches.
Martin took off the old watch on his wrist and replaced it with a brand new Cartier watch in front of many media cameras and fans. Then, he signed the symbolic spokesperson agreement.
There was almost crazy applause at the scene.
A dozen blond girls with faces painted like clowns suddenly burst into the aisle in the middle of the auditorium and shouted: "Martin, I love you!"
Martin waved to them from the stage.
These girls all pulled open their red T-shirts, revealing a large piece of white, with two lines of big words written on them using red lipstick - I love Martin!
The on-site security guard rushed over.
Martin suddenly remembered that when The Dark Knight was first released, there was a group of girls who not only danced in front of his house, but also fought for garbage.
No matter what, these are his fans.
Martin shouted: "Don't make it difficult for them."
The girls shouted again: "Martin! Martin!"
The scene was in chaos again.
Martin has said what he needs to say, so he might as well stop talking.
Bruce rushed over, and after negotiating with the security personnel, a dozen girls were invited out of the hall.
Toni, the leader, was very excited when she saw Bruce: "Are you Martin's manager? I saw you and Martin fighting side by side at Burbank Middle School. It's so cool!"
Bruce said: "A lot of people died, it's not cool at all."
Toni was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Can Martin sign for us?" She pointed to her chest: "Sign here, and I will get a tattoo when I get back."
Bruce said: "Martin doesn't have time today, let's talk about it another day."
Toni did not give up: "Did you move away from Sherman Oaks? We have been guarding there many times and have never seen you come out."
Another girl spoke quickly: "We have been waiting for your garbage. We have been there many times and we have never seen you throw out a bag of garbage."
Bruce felt that his head couldn't keep up with these crazy girls who were chasing stars, so he could only say: "Martin has moved to a new place. I'm sorry, I still have work to do and I have to go."
After speaking, he winked at the security guard next to him.
The security personnel immediately came to block the person, and Bruce took the opportunity to slip away.
Watching people leave, the girls could only pack up their clothes and leave the music center.
Aisha asked as she walked: "What should we do next? Martin has moved."
The girl with a quick mouth said: "Without garbage, there are no condoms, and there is no genetic material. How can we get pregnant with Martin's child?"
This is a difficult problem, and the sisters looked sad for a while.
Toni stopped, looked back, saw a huge poster of Martin, and said, "Sisters, think about it, if the clown encounters such a problem, how will he solve it?"
Aisha thought about it for a while and said, "Whatever it takes to achieve the goal?"
Toni called all the sisters over, gathered them in a circle, and said: "As long as we don't give up, we will realize it one day."
Girls are more crazy about chasing stars than men.
Others followed suit.
"We have made great progress this time and have attracted Martin's attention." Toni said about what happened just now: "He also asked the security guards not to embarrass us."
Aisha said with a smile: "Martin even glanced at me."
“You are clearly looking at me, and yours is not big.”
"it's me!"
This group of people was about to start fighting among themselves, and Toni quickly said: "I have a new idea that will definitely make Martin remember us."
Everyone else looked at Toni eagerly.
After Toni unified her thoughts again, she said: "Next time for Martin's public event, we will not only wear clown makeup, but also wear wedding dresses to express our love to Martin together! Maybe he can like one of us. , date her..."
These blonde girls are not all beautiful, but they are tall, **** and full of temptation.
Toni emphasized: "I'll be honest, no matter who is really lucky enough to be asked by Martin, after getting those things, they must quickly come out and share them with other sisters!"
She looked around: "Those who betray our sisters will die badly!"
Others said in unison: "Yes, those who betray their sisters will not die well!"
Toni waved her arm: "Let's go find a place to buy wedding dresses. We must let Martin see how much we love him!"
At the signing event, Martin came off the stage and entered the lounge at the back. He shook hands with Cartier's senior executives one by one. There were no other activities and he was ready to say goodbye and leave.
Getting in the car, Martin asked Bruce: "Are those girls okay?"
"It's okay, the security just asked them out, not rudely." Bruce said his first impression: "They were a little fanatical. If I read correctly, they are the same group of people who snatched garbage last time."
Martin remembered it, and reminded Bruce: "Don't throw your condoms away casually, be careful not to be a passive father."
Bruce asked: "Is it really that crazy?"
Thinking of some concerts in his previous life, Martin said: "There are many crazier ones than this."
