American Fame and Fortune Chapter 515

Chapter 515: The Martian

 White House, banquet hall.

 The girls dressed up gathered together and chatted about topics of interest to each other. Elizabeth told some interesting stories about the Hollywood crew, which attracted the attention of Guan Hai's eldest daughter Maria, and the two soon started a heated discussion on this topic.

 On the other side, Chief of Staff Ram whispered a few words into Guan Hai's ear.

Guan Hai nodded slightly: "I'll go talk to Martin for a while."

 Although he just took office at the beginning of the year, Guanhai's team is already preparing for the next term.

 The CocCola Cult, which has a broad popular base, is a force that cannot be ignored.

 Guan Hai talked with several major shareholders and executives of CocCola, and they all admitted one thing. Even the CocCola Group has far less influence on the CocCola Cult than the leader Martin.

 CocCola hired Martin as a lifelong spokesperson because of its own urgent needs.

Martin saw Guan Hai approaching and turned around to say hello: "Mr. President."

  Guan Hai smiled and said: "We are all old friends. Call me Barack."

 The people around him automatically dispersed a little, including Spielberg, who was chatting about movies with Martin before.

 Guan Hai chatted with Martin.

Others around him are not without envy. The influence of this Hollywood star far exceeds the movie itself.

99-year-old Sasha Spielberg came to her father's side, somewhat unhappy: "Martin Davis has only been famous for a few years, why did he receive such a warm reception!"

Spielberg was so clear-headed that he pointed to the seal on Martin: "First, he risked his life to do it; second, there is a CocCola cult with tens of millions of people behind him, and he is the leader, although The organization structure is very loose, but his influence cannot be ignored.”

Sasha still doesn't quite understand.

Spielberg turned his head and glanced at Elizabeth Olsen, who was chatting with Maria. She was only one year older than Sasha, but she was much more sensible.

 Sasha was very well protected by the couple.

Spielberg feels that if Martin turns to politics, his foundation will be much stronger than George Clooney, who is jumping up and down to join politics.

 The luncheon didn't last long, and before half past one, the guests all left.

When Martin went out, Benjamin sent him to the parking place and whispered: "Master, the brothers who did not take a photo yesterday were very happy after getting your signed photo. Let me express my gratitude to you."

Elizabeth said that Martin's followers have all come to the White House.

 Martin nodded: "In a while, the CocCola Church of God will hold several events in Washington, and I will ask someone to give you an invitation letter."

 Benjamin was very happy: “Okay.”

 The work of the special service team is actually very boring, and the CocCola Cult can bring a lot of fun.

 Martin got in the car and asked Lao Bu to drive back to the hotel.

 When the car left the White House, Elizabeth said: "I talked to Maria. She is very interested in joining a large Hollywood film crew for summer practice activities."

Martin thought for a while and said: "Nolan's crew will move to Los Angeles and Canada for filming in a while. I told Nolan and Warner to let her join the crew to participate in practice."

Elizabeth said: "Okay, I will bring a few people of similar age to the set to play together."

 Martin praised sincerely: "Liz, you did a great job!"

Elizabeth hugged his arm: "Actually, I learned it from my sisters. They are much better than me. If I can learn half of what they do, that's good."

 Martin kissed her on the cheek.

 Lily in the passenger seat couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I'm very full from lunch. If you feed me dog food again, I'm going to vomit."

 Martin said: "Should I let you get off the car?"

“You took a lot of photos?” Elizabeth changed the subject and asked Lily, lying on the passenger seat: “Let's go back and take a look together to select materials for your creation.”

 Lily just smiled happily.

 In the lounge of the White House, Michelle heard what Maria said, thought about it carefully for a while, and found her husband.

While her husband was resting, she quietly went over and talked about this family matter.

"Martin Davis's girlfriend Elizabeth?" Guanhai listened to his wife's description: "Christopher Nolan's crew?"

Mitchell said: "For the Warner Bros. project, Nolan is the director who shot The Dark Knight."

The eldest daughter wanted to join a film crew for summer internship. Guanhai knew about it a few days ago and casually said it to chief of staff Ram. After all, his younger brother Ali is one of the leading entertainment agents in Hollywood.

Hollywood's top crew, first-tier directors, and first-tier stars are indeed a good fit.

 Guanhai called Ram and after hanging up, he said, "Maria is interested, just let her go."

Michelle said: "She will be very happy to know that you agree."

 Guanhai was in a good mood today and said, "Martin Davis is very knowledgeable and interesting."

Michelle nodded and left to find her daughter. She also called Elizabeth Olsen and negotiated for her daughter to join the crew after going to Los Angeles.

In the hotel room, Elizabeth put down the phone and said, "It's done." Martin contacted Nolan again when he came back, and lightly tapped her face: "Thank you for your hard work."

Elizabeth asked: "Are you going back to Africa next?"

Martin responded: "When I went back to continue filming, Nolan said he couldn't live without me. He said that without me, the crew would be dead and lack fun and excitement."

Elizabeth went to change into her daily clothes and said, "That sounds very strange."

"Maybe it's because I'm not on the crew and there's no one to do anything, so Nolan isn't used to it." Martin could vaguely guess some of Nolan's thoughts: "If nothing happens, there will be no publicity points, and the director will be under great pressure."

 Elizabeth almost burst out laughing: “What a strange director.”

Martin added: "There has never been a director like Nolan in Hollywood before. He is a completely new type."

Elizabeth didn't quite understand: “He's not as good as the four major directors, right?”

"That's not what I'm talking about." Martin said on the other hand: "He has die-hard fans similar to celebrities, like me but not others. His fans can't tolerate anyone saying something bad about him."

 Elizabeth thought about IMDB's three-way battle: “Like what Dark Knight fans did on IMDB for The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption?”

Martin nodded: "Absolutely." He collected the Grand Medal and the Star Medal and handed them to Elizabeth: "I won't be able to stay in Morocco for long. The crew will return to Los Angeles for filming soon. You and Lily should not go there. Those places in Africa are not very Safety."

 Elizabeth packed the Grand Medal and the Star Medal into the suitcase: "Okay, I'll go back to Los Angeles and prepare to receive Maria."

Bruce knocked on the door and said, "I have your phone number."

 Martin opened the door and asked, "Who called?"

Bruce glanced at Elizabeth, and seeing that Martin made no comment, he said directly: "The female editor is Rachel who mentioned literary adaptation a few days ago. Didn't she claim that she had a suitable novel that she wanted you to read?"

 Martin asked Elizabeth: “Are you interested in accompanying me to see a project?”

But Elizabeth smiled and shook her head: "I want to pack my luggage, you and Lao Bu go."

 Martin picked up his coat and left the room with Bruce.

Midway through, Martin changed to the cell phone that Nicholson had sent to the trio after the Santa Monica Pier incident and called Neves.

 “Man, the fishermen are here again,” he said.

 Neves had heard Martin speak specifically about the situation before: "If the bait is right, you can eat the bait and throw away the hook."

He emphasized: "Never bring a fishhook to a private occasion. You have seen the FBI's style."

 Martin actually participated twice, both times Russia was unlucky.

Neves added: "The leader of that group is one level below me. As long as you don't get caught by the fishhook, everything else is easy. I will fight back soon and send him overseas to make contacts." official."

 Martin felt confident, so he went downstairs with Lao Bu and went to the cafe next door, where he met Kate and Rachel again.

Seeing the two of them enter the door, Rachel whispered: "As expected, he didn't bring his girlfriend over, and he still has those thoughts about us."

Kate asked: "Are you ready over there?"

After the last meeting, Rachel and her boss analyzed it carefully and felt that it should not be rushed. One or two times may not be enough to dispel Martin Davis's wariness.

 When the two sides become more familiar, some things will happen naturally...

 After Martin came over, he shook hands with Kate and Rachel, pulled out a chair and sat across from them.

Today, the two women changed their styles, wearing long skirts, light makeup, and smiling sweetly, a bit like Elizabeth Olsen's daily style.

Martin suspects that next time the two of them may adopt the style of Jolie and Aniston.

Kate smiled sweetly and said: "Congratulations, you have received the Distinguished Presidential Medal of Freedom."

Rachael said something similar.

"Thank you." Martin asked Bruce to order a few cups of coffee, and then got down to business and asked Rachel: "You said on the phone that you brought a literary project suitable for film adaptation?"

 Rachel nodded and said, "Yes, we have discussed it internally and feel that it has great potential for adaptation."

 This is a work that her group found overnight. In order to be authentic and credible, they even forged the name of the publisher and contacted the author.

 They certainly don't dare to use the works of famous writers. It will be very troublesome if something goes wrong.

 So, I specifically looked for a science fiction novel that had some reputation online but had not yet attracted the attention of publishers and was only updated on my personal website.

 The FBI has a dedicated Hollywood liaison office, where Rachel once worked as an assistant. It has been roughly estimated that adapting this novel into a movie would require an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Such a project will definitely not be discussed for a while. She can engage with Martin in many ways to enhance the relationship.

 Martin asked directly: “Did you bring the work?”

 Rachel opened her briefcase, took out a document bag, and handed it over.

 Martin next found that it was full of printed manuscripts, and looked to the other side in confusion.

 Rachel explained: “It has not been published yet and is being serialized online.”

 Martin nodded, took out the bound printed manuscript, and saw the name on the cover—The Martian!
