American Fame and Fortune Chapter 537

 Chapter 537 A Big Business of Billions

In the morning, Bruce took a newly purchased women's casual clothes and sent them to the door of Martin's suite. When he was about to knock on the door, the door diagonally opposite suddenly opened.

Mene walked out, his face almost whitened with energy, as if he were a handsome young man in his twenties.

Bruce wondered: "When did this guy come back?"

Meine just smiled but said nothing.

Because a woman's pleasant voice came from the door: "Wait for me, have breakfast together, we will come back after breakfast. How did you train your tongue? It is so flexible that it can knot hair. I have experienced so much , or saw it once.”

Bruce looked at Mene in shock. Has he practiced to this extent? Isn't that too exaggerated?

 A middle-aged woman in her forties came out of the door.

Those who are familiar with European movies can recognize it at a glance—Sophie Marceau!

 Bruce secretly gave Mene a thumbs up.

"Are you Bruce, Martin Davis' bodyguard?" Sophie Marceau saw the video of the Santa Monica Pier incident, recognized Bruce, and invited: "Where's Martin? Let's play together later."

 Bruce knew that Martin was not interested in her and said, "Martin has something urgent and is getting ready to go out."

Although Sophie Marceau had regrets, Menet was indeed outstanding. She held Menet's arm and said: "Let's go to the restaurant."

Mene smiled and said, "Old Bu, let's go have breakfast."

Sophie Marceau said as she walked: "Don't eat spicy food for breakfast. Your skills are too good and you don't need those things."

Meine said seriously: "I am a pure technical stream."

 Sophie Marceau liked: "Please tie a knot for me later and I will take a photo to commemorate it."

This actress, who has performed well on the red carpet several times, is very open-minded even among French people.

When the two of them entered the elevator, Bruce knocked on Martin's door and sent the lady in casual clothes.

 Ten minutes later, Martin and Léa Seydoux came out of the room and went to the restaurant to have breakfast.

 Léa Seydoux also saw Sophie Marceau and said: "She is here."

Martin said: "The person next to her is called Mene, my old friend. He has a special magic power that always attracts the attention of older ladies."

Leia nodded slightly: "I know him, Huppert's little lover. I heard that he has very good looks and skills, and is especially popular with older ladies. It is true."

 Martin asked: “Is Menet already so famous in France?”

"It has long been spread in the actress circle." Maybe French women are romantically involved, Léa thought seriously: "When you have time later, you can introduce me to Menet. I want to introduce him to my mother."

The fork in Martin's hand was stuck out of the way and fell on the disk, making a crisp sound. He couldn't help but ask: "Are you serious?"

Leya said: "Of course I am serious. My parents have divorced a long time ago, and my mother has never been very happy..."

 Martin said vaguely: "Let's talk about it later."

　　After breakfast, Bruce got in the car and drove Martin and Rhea to District 7, where her mother had a vacant apartment, and the video was hidden in a hidden safe in the apartment.

Although Léa Seydoux didn't say it explicitly, Martin knew without guessing that she must have made multiple copies.

 Public security in Paris is not very good, especially in the notorious Department 93, which is said to be a land abandoned by the French.

But like the 16th District, the 7th District, a traditional wealthy area, has relatively good security. Although Leya's mother's apartment is uninhabited, it has not been visited by thieves.

Leia took down a picture frame and opened the secret door on the wall to reveal the safe inside.

 Martin and Bruce had already gone to the balcony.

 The latter asked: "Will she end up personally?"

Martin looked back and said, "She hasn't gone crazy yet. I promise that if the situation is unclear, I will only find an opportunity to release a recording to TMZ or other media."

Bruce said: "Where's the video?"

Martin said: "She won't give it to us yet, but she told me that when the post-production of "Inglourious Basterds" was completed this year, she paid special attention to Harvey and knew that Harvey might harass another actress, a French actress. American actor, who also hated Harvey, so she provided the actress with a hidden camera, and Harvey later did go find that person.”

Bruce has heard a lot of rumors about Harvey: "With Harvey's style, if it is not forced, I will be very shocked and surprised."

"This may be a special habit developed by the boss. It's boring to be submissive." Martin also made a random guess and continued the topic: "Lea is sure that the actress took the video that night, but she left afterwards. Los Angeles, the video is most likely in her possession."

Bruce asked: "Who is she? Where does she live? I asked someone to go find her."

 Martin tilted his head back: "I don't know yet. If I want to know this information, I may have to pay a lot today."

“Work harder.” Bruce patted Martin on the shoulder and encouraged him: “I believe that with your strength and paying billions, you will definitely be able to get it successfully.”

He suggested: "Why don't I go down in a while and stay here."

But Martin said: "It's better to go back to the hotel room, there won't be any accidents there."

Bruce thought that Léa Seydoux could secretly record Xavi's video, and maybe something would be installed here to secretly record Martin.

“It's difficult for us alone,” he cautioned.

Martin said: "A while ago, when Saoirse Ronan called me, she mentioned a project that might involve Harvey and Warner, and I asked Thomas to do it and find out more about it."

Leia's voice came over: "The thing was found." Martin and Bruce returned to the living room together.

Leya held a USB flash drive in her hand and handed it to Martin.

Bruce opened the laptop he brought with him, asked Martin to plug in the USB flash drive, and clicked play.

The first is an audio clip of Harvey Weinstein's threatening words, which did not mention Léa Seydoux's name, but clearly expressed his intention to force him.

There is also a video, which has obviously been edited. Only Harvey is leaving the country alone. His vicious appearance is no less than that of Lao Hei who is preparing to carry out the attack in Province 93.

Leya said: "I'm really not being pretentious. Look, what normal woman can follow him and not vomit?"

 Martin suddenly thought of Joanna Chapman, who has been busy with work for more than a year, and the original bet with Leonardo and Nicholson expired at the end of the year.

 As long as he persists, he will win!

Martin had heard the old fox Angela Lindworth talk about Joanna several times on the phone. After he introduced them to each other, the two, plus Carolina, often hung out together.

Leya added: "I only have these for now. The rest are not in Paris. When I have time, I will bring them back and give them to you."

 Martin asked Bruce to put away his things and said, "Let's go, take me around Paris."

Leya said: "No problem."

The two of them first visited some of the most famous attractions in Paris, and then went shopping on the Champs Elysées.

 Martin has never been a stingy person after he got rich, spending hundreds of thousands of euros in one afternoon.

Back at the hotel in the evening, Martin put all his energy into discussing a big business deal involving billions with Léa Seydoux.

  After Léa Seydoux made billions in money, her hatred of Weinstein went even further, and she did not hesitate to send the name, address and contact information of the French-American actor.

 Martin forwarded it to Bruce immediately, asking him to act quickly.

Bruce contacted Ivan, who was on vacation in Long Beach. After getting the news, he immediately rushed to San Diego.

In addition, Martin communicated with Léa Seydoux, and Léa Seydoux agreed to come forward and accuse Xavi when necessary.

 She is of course the one who adds insult to injury, not the one who blows the trumpet.

 In fact, everyone in the industry understands that the first few people who came forward to accuse Harvey were tantamount to severing their own career as an actor.

Hence, Martin never expected to get a break from star-level actors.

But as long as the gap is opened, people like Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, etc., who once had the closest relationship with Harvey Weinstein, will also He would be the one who stepped on Harvey the hardest.

 The next morning, Léa Seydoux left the hotel early, and Martin returned to the set to continue filming the remaining scenes in Paris.

 After two consecutive days of filming, he ushered in the last scene of the crew.

 Noland placed the highlight of the ending at the end of the shooting.

 On the set, Martin received the box from Nolan himself, and when he opened it, he found the metal top inside.

Nolan pointed to the table on the other side: "I'll let it spin for a while, and then I'll use the ending you mentioned."

Martin is brewing: "No problem."

 Nolan returned to the director's chair, thought for a while, and felt that Martin's commercial appeal should not be wasted, so he turned his head.

 Assistant Anderson ran over immediately: "Director?"

Nolan said: "Recording the behind-the-scenes and before shooting the last scene, director Nolan accepted Martin's suggestion and decided to use an open ending."

Anderson quickly recorded it and asked: "Has the male protagonist Cobb returned to reality?"

This question inspired Nolan again, and he continued: "In any version of publicity, do not give the answer, let the audience guess, and let the publicity personnel create topics about it."

 The ending is deliberately mysterious, not for any profound theme or idea, but just for publicity purposes.

Nolan even thought further. If this movie is successful, he can drag out this ending to create a topic when promoting The Dark Knight Rises in the future!

At this time, the scriptwriter came in front of the camera and started filming the scene of Cobb's return.

 Multiple scenes in a row were successfully completed, and now it's time to spin the top.

 Martin had practiced it in private. The top fell from his hand and kept spinning on it like an obedient woman.

Before the top could stop, director Nolan shouted: "Stop, this one has passed."

 Then he announced the closure.

  After filming all the scenes for "Inception", Martin got the top as a souvenir.

　　The crew held a party in the evening and then went their separate ways.

 Meinet stayed in Paris, preparing to cooperate with Huppert.

 Martin first went to Milan to visit Elizabeth who was attending Milan Fashion Week there, and then returned to Los Angeles.
