American Fame and Fortune Chapter 530

Chapter 530: The sequelae

Although there were no deaths, the LAPD still rushed over as quickly as possible. It involved a top Hollywood production, and McClain, who had dealt with Martin in the Burbank High School incident, also appeared on the set.

McLean first asked Martin, an acquaintance, "What is the specific situation?"

Martin couldn't figure it out either: "I was waiting in the rest area to go on stage while filming a gun battle scene. When an actor fired the pistol for the fourth time, the blank bullets turned into live ammunition."

He pointed to his ear: "You know, I am good with a gun and can hear the difference."

McLean lowered his voice and asked, "Not a Russian spy?"

 Martin thought for a while and said, "Probably not."

He pointed to the props team and said, "You know my manager Bruce. He knows some things and is taking notes over there."

“Let's go over there and take a look.” McClain took the lead in walking over there.

 Martin followed.

Coming to the entrance of the alley where the props team is located, you can see a detective from the Police Detective Bureau asking Bruce something.

Facing the question of the chief detective, Bruce told the truth: "You know Martin's situation, so when Martin plays the starring role, the agent will list me as the deputy director of the props team as a necessary condition for negotiations."

His words are true, but they can lead to other understandings: "Before the shooting started in the afternoon, I routinely checked the firearms. The gun used by Tom Hardy was also on my inspection list, but he refused and just unloaded it. Fire the first three bullets in your magazine and let me confirm they are blanks..."

A police detective was taking notes. When Bruce finished speaking, the policewoman next to him whispered: "What he said is consistent with the prop master's."

 The two police detectives went to question another prop master wearing sunglasses.

The prop master vowed: "After finishing work in the morning, I have been staying here and never left for a moment. No one has touched the bullet. I swear to God! And I pressed the prop bullet into the magazine together with two other people. This It's also the crew's rule to supervise each other.”

He looked serious and responsible: "My professionalism and professional ethics do not allow me to do any irresponsible behavior."

 The two police detectives have individually questioned the other two prop masters, and combined with Bruce's reaction, asked: "Do you think the problem is not with you? Where is Bruce?"

The sunglasses prop master said: "Boo was checking the bullets of the gun. I and another person were right next to him. He didn't do anything, but Tom Hardy refused to check his gun and the magazine."

He will never tell anyone about sleeping at noon, otherwise the responsibility will fall on him, and he will no longer be able to hang out in this circle.

 Even if you change industries, you will be ostracized.

The detective asked: "British actor Tom Hardy?"

Speaking of Tom Hardy, the sunglasses prop master had an idea in his head: "Tom Hardy didn't let Bob check the gun he had, and he left alone with the gun. The problem may have been on the road after he left. "

After the detectives finished their inquiries, a brief meeting was held on site. The prop masters supervised each other. Bruce made routine inspections every day. It seemed that there were no problems, and the rhetoric was consistent.

Tom Hardy refused to inspect the firearm, which was a bit strange.

 Don't have too many self-directed and self-acted cases, not to mention that the other party is a star-level actor and a good actor.

These people go to Tom Hardy.

In the set design team, Clayson and his colleagues curiously acted as qualified spectators.

 He did not show any abnormality. He did whatever his colleagues in the same group did.

It's just a pity that the person who caused the accidental shooting was not Martin Davis, but the unlucky guy Tom Hardy.

If it were Martin, his violent use of guns on many occasions would most likely trigger a backlash from public opinion.

But he has tried everything he needs to do, and Clayson will not try it a second time. He has paid off the favor he owed Brad Pitt.

 Martin waited outside for a while. Bruce inquired and came back.

"There is good news." Old Boo whispered: "Tom Hardy is going to be taken to the police detective station."

Martin said: "This is not good news. If something happens to the main actor, the crew will be shut down. Director Nolan will definitely not be happy."

Representatives from the Actors Guild, Directors Guild, Photographers Guild, and third-party insurance companies are all here, and the crew will definitely be suspended for a few days.

Bruce said: "You just need a break, don't you want to have a meeting with the leader? There is no time."

 Martin walked to a deserted place, waited until Bruce followed, and asked in a low voice: "Is there any sign against us?"

 This is what he really cares about.

Bruce thought carefully: "It's hard to say now. I have checked all the guns, bullets and magazines, except for the one in Tom Hardy's hand. The other party put the bullet in his pistol magazine, not yours."

He thought back and forth: "I have learned about the situation from McClain, and based on everyone's feedback so far, either someone lied, or something went wrong after Tom Hardy got the gun."

 Martin asked: “Did the prop team make any special discoveries?

“Not yet.” Bruce also asked: “Even if we have lunch at noon, the props team will leave a special person to guard it. That person said that he never left after finishing work in the morning, and other people also proved this.”

Martin was somewhat uneasy: "You and the bodyguards should pay more attention. I always feel that something is not right. It must not be an illusion."

Bruce said something that couldn't be more true: "This is the sequelae of killing too many people. We have killed too many people, and we can't throw them into the Pacific Ocean to feed the fish."

This statement is so reasonable that Martin doesn't even want to refute it, not to mention that when he came to Los Angeles and entered Hollywood, he stepped on other people's heads along the way to get to the top. Even when he was in Atlanta, he relied on talent to make a name for himself.

 From the time I came to the United States, I was either messing with people or making trouble, or I was on the way to making trouble with others.

He can barely remember the names of the first ones he did when he came to Los Angeles, such as the idiot who was bitten by a rattlesnake.

And the path he is taking, it is impossible to humanely destroy all the scum he has dealt with. There will definitely be some who are determined to jump out and cause trouble for him.

 Martin suddenly felt tired, but thinking of wealth, beauty and status, he was instantly filled with fighting spirit.

 Having fun fighting with others!

Martin said: "Pay more attention to what's going on in private on the set."

Compared with the survey, ten of him and Lao Bu combined could not compare to the LAPD, the largest force in Los Angeles.

 The only thing they can really compare with the LAPD is the speed of emptying the magazine. Bruce responded: "I will."

Life has to go on, Martin walked forward: "Let's go and comfort Director Nolan."

The two of them noticed that Nolan was full of energy and high-spirited before they even approached the directing team.

This great director seems not to be affected much.

Nolan had just dismissed the representatives of the Directors Guild, and called his right-hand assistant Anderson, and said: "Record the real behind-the-scenes. A shooting occurred during the filming of the crew. A photographer was accidentally injured by a bullet, but he still endured the pain and finished filming before calling for help!"

  Anderson's pen moves like flying as he writes, and what he pursues for the real behind-the-scenes is truth!

Nolan is still thinking, the shooting happened and the negative impact was inevitable.

 But the same thing can still be used in publicity and hype to let more people know about the movie.

 After experiencing the baptism of countless incidents, marketing master Nolan gradually took shape. He added: "Continue to record. Director Nolan stayed calm in the face of danger and commanded calmly to prevent the crew from causing chaos and causing greater damage."

 Anderson finished writing and looked at his boss again.

Nolan thought for a while and said: "Let's stay here for now and wait for the police to give out the investigation results."

 A new thought came to his mind, and he happened to see Martin: "Come over and have a chat."

 Martin came over: "Chris..."

Nolan valued Martin's opinion in terms of marketing hype and asked: “Can we edit out some of the footage we shot at that time and sell it to TMZ or other entertainment media to build publicity for the film?”

 Martin is actually relatively cautious compared to Nolan: “We must guide public opinion well.”

"I know." Nolan wanted to make something big happen when the crew was filming in Morocco. Finally, he encountered a kidnapping case and was harassed by the Jewish guy all day long, which made others almost explode. .

Those **** don't even bother to spend money to cover up, they just know how to use their power to pressure people and make them compromise.

As for the conditions of the promise, Nolan didn't believe a word of it.

Now, big events have finally occurred again, and Nolan wants to turn bad things into good things: "I believe the professionals at Warner Bros. can handle these."

“That's not a big problem.” Martin has been cooperating with Warner Bros. for several years, and Warner under the leadership of Barry Meyer is relatively reliable.

Nolan still has some ideas, but he doesn't dare to tell others.

 He suspected that the incident might be related to the Moroccan kidnapping case.

Those bastards, what are you afraid of doing?

 But considering the power of Jews in Hollywood, I can only hold back my ideas.

  Turning his head, he saw Bruce giving him a look, and followed his face to look not far away.

 Tom Hardy was temporarily invited by the LAPD to drink coffee for questioning.

　Nolan is busy again.

  Such an incident occurred on the crew, and the filming could only be suspended.

 The project will also be temporarily suspended.

At the end of the day, Emma Thomas came over to notify Martin and asked him to wait for the notification.

 Martin and Bruce went straight home.

The information LAPD learned from various aspects of the crew was very unfavorable to Tom Hardy. At that time, Bruce and the prop masters saw him unloading three blank rounds, but the fourth one fired a problem.

 While filming, he was supposed to shoot near the stuntman, but he turned around a little longer and pointed the gun at the camera assistant.

Some police detectives even believed that Tom Hardy was suspected of intentional murder.

The British actor didn't come out from the LAPD until late at night after many discussions with the crew.

In Burbank, in a car on the side of the road, Cassie saw Toni's car turning around and dialed her brother Ben's cell phone: "She's back from the supermarket."

 Daben moved the car, as if he had just come back from outside and was parking the car.

Toni drove over and parked in the parking space in front.

Ben got out of the car, and Toni happened to get out of the car too.

Seeing her taking the purchased items from the back seat, Daben walked a few steps over and said, "I'll help you."

When Toni saw it was him, she stepped aside and held her belly, not politely saying: "Sorry to trouble you, Ben."

 Daben picked up two shopping bags: “We are all friends, we met by chance.”

The two of them entered the building together, took the elevator to the floor where Toni's apartment was located, and Ben naturally delivered the things to Toni's door.

Toni opened the door of her house and actively invited: "Come in and sit down for a meeting?"

 Daben acted very gentlemanly: "Is that okay?"

Toni smiled: "Ben, we are friends."

Ben followed her into the apartment, and as soon as he entered the door, he found Martin Davis everywhere.
