Chapter 494: Have fun and be safe (lead update 1)
“Are you sure Martin is coming to the party?”
Walking among the crowd, Tom Cruise asked the assistant who was following him: "Is this right?"
The assistant quickly said: "Make sure, I went to the door and asked. Martin came with Leonardo and Nicholson."
Suddenly, a burst of cheers sounded, and Tom Cruise turned to look. Not far away, more than 20 girls were playing games around three men.
The one sandwiched between four or five girls like meatloaf is none other than Martin Davis, one of the most popular male stars in Hollywood.
In terms of popularity and popularity from last year to this year, Tom Cruise is also at a disadvantage.
But this bowl of soup has not become mushy even after being cooked in Hollywood for nearly thirty years, which shows that he is a smart man.
Finding a suitable opportunity, Tom Cruise walked over and said hello: "Hi, Martin."
Hearing the sound, Martin turned his head and saw Tom Cruise. He was a little surprised. He spat out the bra straps he had just untied and stepped forward to shake hands with him: "Tom, you are my idol."
He has said this countless times, and it sounds absolutely false: "Top Gun shocked me so much that I almost joined the aviation force. Later, Mission: Impossible once made me think about joining the CIA, but it's a pity that I have no education. They Don't accept it, otherwise the mountain will be miserable!”
Tom Cruise said with a smile: "Your last two movies are very exciting, and now I am a fan of you."
"Are we fans of each other's movies?" Martin pointed to the beautiful girls around him and asked, "Want to play together? It's very interesting."
Tom Cruise waved his hand: "Looking for a place to chat alone?"
Martin returned the bra to Holly and said, "You guys can play with it for a while."
Holly put it on: "I know a good place to talk about things, will you come with me?"
Martin and Tom Cruise followed her to the backyard. Compared to the bustle in the front yard, it was much quieter here. There were scattered tables and chairs for resting on the corridor and lawn.
Holly ordered wine and a wine glass from the waiter, placed them on the table under the pavilion, and pointed to the distance: "I'm over there, call me anytime if you need it."
Martin nodded slightly, waited until she was far away, and then asked: "Tom, what do you want from me?"
Cruise opened the wine bottle, poured two glasses of wine, and said directly: "I want to ask you for advice on success."
Martin was quite surprised: "You are Tom Cruise! The Tom Cruise I admire!"
In his thirty-year career as an actor, Cruise has experienced too much. He said with a smile: "This does not prevent you from being more successful than me in the past three years."
He picked up his wine glass and raised it to Martin: "Countless examples tell me that it is easier to succeed if you learn the strengths of successful people."
Martin responded in the same way, had a drink with him, and said: "Actually, everything I do is laid out in the open, there is nothing special about it."
Seeing that Martin did not refuse, Cruise asked directly: "Your action scenes in "John Wick" were particularly outstanding. Did you perform all those difficult action scenes yourself?"
“Highly difficult?” Martin thought about it for a moment and said, “Really difficult action scenes are all about using stand-ins, and the insurance company doesn't allow me to take risks.”
Cruise frowned: "Impossible, those long shots..."
Martin said: "I completed all the long shots myself. I rehearsed them several times. It was not difficult."
Cruise understood that the two people's understanding of the difficulty of the movements was completely different.
The movements that he thought were extremely difficult were not difficult for Martin to perform, and might even be easy enough that even the insurance company would have no objection.
Cruise said: "No wonder, when you promoted and marketed it, you didn't make a fuss about the fact that you performed the difficult action scenes yourself."
These words reminded Martin, and he patted his head: "We were negligent in this regard. It was originally a good publicity point."
Cruise figured out the reason: "Warner thinks it's normal for you to do this, and the crew thinks it's normal for you to do this, so they don't think it's anything to promote or market."
Martin thought about it, and it was indeed true. He picked up the wine bottle, poured wine for the two of them, and toasted Cruise: "Thank you for reminding me."
Cruz clinked glasses with him: "Even if I don't say it, you will think of it soon."
The two chatted for a while, and Martin noticed that Tom Cruise's posture was relatively low.
The superstar who has been popular for nearly 30 years did not commit suicide like Depp and others. Instead, he has remained popular for a long time. He naturally has merits in some aspects.
Cruise thought for a while: "My age and physical condition are not as good as yours. If I want to do action scenes, how can I make a selling point like "John Wick"?"
This is what troubles him and Brad Bird the most, as well as the entire team.
In the past ten years, as they learned the Hong Kong action model, Hollywood has basically played through all the action routines that can be played.
John Wick turned out to be a classic of the new type of action movie.
Learning from successful people, Tom Cruise feels it is natural.
Martin asked tentatively: "I would like to ask, Tom, are you planning to make a sequel to Mission: Impossible?"
Cruise laughed: "The fourth part is already on the agenda."
Martin thought about it briefly. Tom Cruise represents a major force in Hollywood. Even if he doesn't say something, the other party will probably think of it after a while. Why not sell it well?
This is something from Mission Impossible.
He organized his language slightly and said: "I personally feel that the styles of Mission: Impossible and John Wick are completely different. Using the action mode of John Wick will greatly reduce the effect."
Tom Cruise listened and nodded slightly.
Martin continued: "Tom, I can do those moves because of years of hard training."
Counting the fact that he was a martial artist in his previous life, it is not an exaggeration to say that it took him ten years to sharpen his sword: "Since it is an impossible task, why not try it bigger? Find one of the best super landmarks in the world, climb it yourself, get a plane and do it yourself Driving, or doing skydiving or something like that, the publicity will be done by you yourself, and the publicity effect... BOOM, explode!” Cruise thought of a person: “Jack Chen from Hong Kong City?”
Martin nodded: "Go further than him. Super landmarks plus the most modern transportation, plus high altitudes, mountains and cliffs! You are one of the top superstars in Hollywood. How many people will be amazed if you perform in person?"
Looking at Cruise and seeing that he really listened, Martin emphasized: "It can also create a super professional spirit and attitude and restore your image."
This last sentence made Cruise pay more attention to Martin's words.
In the past few years, Tom Cruise has not been having a good time at all. Since he fired his agent, coupled with the messy family affairs, there have been endless leaks and scandals.
That is to say, after more than 20 years of hard work, his health bar was thick enough, and the situation did not collapse.
Why reboot Mission: Impossible? Because this series is the most stable and can help him reverse his decline.
Tom Cruise poured the wine again and said: "Martin, I want to toast you."
Martin picked up the wine glass: "You're welcome."
Tom Cruise clinked glasses with him and said, "I owe you a favor."
Martin said nothing, but drank the glass of wine.
Tom Cruise took the initiative to exchange personal business cards with Martin and said: "If you need me, give me a call."
Martin was not polite: "I will."
Tom Cruise left here quickly.
Holly came over from a distance and asked, "Are you done talking?"
Martin stood up: "Let's go back and continue our game?"
Holly accompanied him back to the front yard and said as she walked: "Play a few more games, and I'll call the sisters and let's go out to play together."
Three men came towards me, disheveled.
I don't know where the man's pajamas have gone. He is only wearing a pair of elephant-trunk shorts. When he walks, the elephant's trunk swings from side to side, which is a bit funny.
His left and right hands each held a girl's shoulder, and the three of them were already moving their hands and mouths together, as if they were looking for a suitable place.
Martin found that the man looked familiar, but couldn't remember his name. He took a second look and passed them by.
Holly was very discerning and whispered: "That person is Charlie Sheen, who is also a Hollywood star. He has played Platoon and Two and a Half Men."
Martin immediately matched the person and the name: "Charlie Sheen! Does he come here often?"
Holly said casually: "I come here occasionally, and every time I take a few girls out. Don't worry, I have never gone out with him..."
Martin cursed in his heart and walked towards the front yard at a slightly faster pace. However, he did not go to the place where he was playing games. Instead, he found Bruce who had been watching him from a distance.
He said directly: "If it's urgent, call Chad, Marcus and Thomas and ask them to come to my place nearby. Inform the butler to prepare wine and midnight snacks, and I'll go find Leo and Jack."
Bruce didn't understand what was happening, but did what he was told.
Holly asked: "Are you leaving?"
Martin took out the check he had prepared before and stuffed it into Holly's waistband: "It's just a small thing. Thank you for your service. I'm very happy tonight, but I have something urgent to do here and I have to leave."
Holly pulled out the check and looked at the numbers on it. She was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Next time you come back, be sure to find me."
Martin nodded casually and went to find Leonardo and Nicholson, hoping that these two **** had not been carried away by beauty.
Because when he heard Charlie Sheen's name, he remembered the widely circulated rumors in his previous life. Charlie Sheen was diagnosed with AIDS, which made everyone in Hollywood feel in danger.
Perhaps you are messing around in private, and many people will pay attention to it. In this kind of situation...
Martin can't remember the specific year it happened, but safety comes first in this kind of thing.
Among the group of women, he found Nicholson and Leonardo, who were just having fun.
"It's a little urgent, come with me?" He seemed to be asking, but he grabbed Leonardo and Nicholson: "Let's go, go to my place for a drink."
“I haven't had much time since I arrived.” Leonardo was confused.
Nicholson is an experienced man and saw that Martin was particularly serious. He patted Leonardo and said, "Let's go."
The three of them didn't go looking for Hefner, they got in the car and left directly.
Leonardo asked: "What's going on?"
Martin said: "I just saw that many girls were messing around with others in the backyard without any protection. This kind of thing must not happen once or twice. There have been rumors of AIDS in the circle before. I think we should stay away from this. It's better to be farther away.”
He looked at Nicholson: "Jack, can you handle a Jennifer Lawrence?"
Nicholson held his waist and said, "Hey, I'm getting old."
Martin asked Leonardo again: "Can you get through with so many supermodels?"
Leonardo felt it made sense when he heard it: "The quality here is indeed a bit low."
Martin spread his hands: "We have to have fun but also play safely, right?"
