American Fame and Fortune Chapter 552

Chapter 552: Time to start the war

Entering the Los Angeles Angels Club, all Harvey saw were guns and all kinds of firearms. This was not a leisure club, but a shooting and combat training ground.

 Matt Damon whispered: "He asked us to meet here. What does that mean?"

Harvey said: "Demonstration."

Georgina, who had come in advance, appeared at this time and said: "Here, they are waiting for us at the entertainment area."

 Harvey followed and spoke to Georgina in a low voice.

Matt Damon had the illusion that Harvey's wife came over and took them there as if they were the other party's people.

 But when he thought about it, he felt that it was simply impossible.

The sound of gunshots suddenly came, and Harvey paused instinctively. Thinking of Martin Davis going on a killing spree at the Santa Monica Pier, he felt a little panicked.

However, he quickly stabilized his mind, and even if he gave Martin Davis two courages, he would not dare to attack him.

Entering the entertainment and leisure area, Harvey and Damon followed Georgina to a lounge, where there were only two people, Martin and Bruce.

Martin stood up, shook hands with Harvey and Damon, and said, "Sit down wherever you want."

 Georgina sat across the table opposite Martin.

 The waiter brought the coffee at this time, and Bruce closed the door after leaving.

Harvey specifically said: "This is the first time we have met after the Cannes Film Festival."

Martin said: "I have been filming abroad, and when I came back, I encountered some bad things. I wanted to visit him, but I couldn't find the time."

This is not nonsense, because Georgina did invite him to Harvey's mansion in Beverly Hills.

 Harvey tapped the table lightly and said: "In my plan, "Inglourious Basterds" can win the Best Actor at Cannes."

“The best actor this time is me.” Martin said without any guilt: “Harvey, we had an open and fair competition, and I won honorably.”

 Harvey couldn't help but laugh: "Is it upright? Isabel Adjani has nothing to do with you?"

Martin's face remained calm and his heart did not beat: "She? What does she have to do with me? I have heard of her, but I don't know her."

 Harvey was more direct: "You took advantage of the years of hostility between Adjani and Huppert to plot against me and the crew of "Inglourious Basterds", and used despicable means to take away the best actor."

 Martin spread his hands, expressing his innocence.

 Harvey is still as strong as ever: "You owe me a debt."

 Martin shook his head slowly but firmly: "Harvey, I don't owe you anything."

 A year ago, maybe he would have continued to show weakness, but the foot and face help have reached this point, and there is no need for it.

Harvey said: "We could have become collaborators and created a new situation in Hollywood together."

“And I'm like brothers Damon and Affleck?” Martin asked rhetorically.

As soon as he finished speaking, a foot stretched out from under the table, and the foot wrapped in stockings rested on Martin's ankle.

Georgina took off her high heels and deliberately teased Martin, but her eyes were fixed on Harvey.

 Teasing her husband's mortal enemy in front of her husband, Georgina felt a strange excitement, and every cell and nerve in her body became excited.

 Harvey saw his wife looking at him and thought she was concerned. He nodded slightly at her and continued to say to Martin: "There are some debts that you don't owe if you say you don't owe them."

 Martin was helpless: "As a human being, you have to be reasonable."

Harvey said: "In the past, many actors and stars asked me to reason with them. In the end, they all begged me not to be reasonable. Stars like you who look glamorous think that you can change the rules by stepping onto the front line. Many people in the past Everyone thinks like you, but let me tell you! "

He tapped his chest: "The rules of this circle are set by people like me, and you stars can only survive according to the rules we set!"

 A few years ago, this would have been no problem at all.

 Georgina smiled at Harvey, as if to encourage him, but her feet under the table climbed up Martin's trousers.

 Martin turned his head and glanced at her casually.

Georgina did not restrain herself at all, and the strange excitement became even stronger.

 Harvey used his power to overwhelm others: "Martin, people of your background simply don't understand that Weinstein Pictures represents more than just me."

"I know." Martin said, "So, what do you want to say?"

In Harvey's eyes, if you want to negotiate calmly, Martin is not qualified enough!

Just like the previous Screen Actors Guild strike that subsided before it broke out, Harvey was not only the first to put pressure on the Screen Actors Guild on behalf of the Producers Union with a tough attitude, but also the last major member of the Producers Union to reach an agreement with the Screen Actors Guild. .

Harvey is used to facing actors with a strong attitude. Just like Matt Damon, an list star with similar fame and appeal to Martin, he is still driven by him like a dog. Just make a phone call and the other party will do something for him. Wipe the **** out of you.

"I won't force you to do anything difficult." Harvey said seemingly calmly: "The matter of Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck and Brad Pitt ends here, I will let them report to You apologize publicly and give you a large amount of compensation for each of them, and I guarantee that they will not return to Hollywood or engage in any work related to the film and television industry within three years."

Martin lied with his eyes open: "Actually, it doesn't matter to me personally, but Harvey, you made a mistake. The key is not about me. The three of them broke the law, and the Los Angeles judicial system is upholding the law. dignity."

 What the other party said sounded like **** to Martin, so he responded with bullshit: "As an honorary citizen of Los Angeles, I have the responsibility and obligation to uphold the laws and legal system of Los Angeles!"

Georgina almost couldn't help laughing. The two men around her were equally rich and powerful and could help her career. But look at Harvey next to him. He is fat, ugly and greasy.

Look at Martin opposite, he is strong, handsome, and tough.

Harvey's face darkened and he warned Martin: "If you mess with people in the same circle like this, many people will be unhappy."

Martin said calmly: "Were you unhappy when they instigated a woman to frame me with things that didn't exist?"

"The cause of this matter is you!" Matt Damon, a star with a honest face, said something that was not honest: "Do you dare to say that what happened to Pete and Ben had nothing to do with you?"

  Martin said: “Of course it has nothing to do with me!”

Facing this thick-skinned and evil-hearted bastard, Matt Damon was shameless, but his face turned pale.

No matter what these two people said, Martin remained unmoved. If someone else tried to mess with him, he would have been doomed long ago. How could he be here today?

 Harvey and Martin were **** for tat. Georgina climbed higher and higher, wanting to end the conversation immediately and rush to the appointed hotel room to wait for another test from Martin.

Matt Damon doesn't care about Pitt, but he won't give up his big budget. He said: "Let Pitt bear everything. It has nothing to do with the Affleck brothers. Everything Harvey said counts. In addition to their compensation, I will I'll give you another compensation.”

 Martin was unmoved and did not even answer the question.

 Harvey understood that there was no way there would be a result today, and he began to think about whether he should start from Atlanta and reveal Martin Davis' old background.

 He ​​knew it was very difficult. It was the home base of Martin Davis. Kelly Gray, who had a close relationship with Martin Davis, was also elected as a member of the Georgia State Assembly.

Matt Damon still wanted to speak, but Harvey shook his head at him.

Georgina originally wanted to explore the long stem, but now she could only withdraw her feet and pursed her lips with regret.

 Harvey stood up: "Martin, you are unwise."

 Matt Damon stood up and said nothing.

Georgina stood next to Harvey, looking like she shared the same enemy: "Martin, you have offended the wrong person. Do you want to start a war with me?"

 Martin looked at Georgina: "You are the one who wants to start a war!"

 Havi grabbed his wife and said, "It's not necessary."

 The three of them said goodbye and left together.

 Out of the door, Harvey was somewhat heartwarming of his wife's support and said softly: "If you do this, Kate will be in trouble."

Georgina said: "It's okay, I can handle it."

 It's not like she hasn't seen it before.

 Harvey nodded, and the three of them left the Angel Club together without stopping.

When getting in the car, Georgina said: "I'm going to find Kate and quietly find out about Martin. Maybe I can help you."

Harvey thought for a while and responded: "Be careful and don't make it too obvious. I guess Kate is not very involved in Martin's bad things."

“Don't worry.” Georgina smiled and said, “I'll come back if I don't get anything.”

Looking at his wife getting into another car, Harvey felt for the first time that his wife did not marry him purely because of profit. The couple had been together for a long time, and they still had feelings for each other.

But Martin's incident made him a little depressed. He got into the car and said to the assistant on the passenger side: "Call Nicole Kidman. Doesn't she want to compete for the Oscar again? Tell her to go to the Four Seasons Hotel and I want to follow her." Let's talk.”

Matt Damon was so used to it that he seemed not to hear and asked, "What should we do?"

Harvey thought for a while and said: "I will start from the Donkey Party and put pressure on the LAPD through political channels. Let the three of them be released on bail first, and the others must be considered in the long run."

 Matt Damon said: "I'm going to prepare the bail."

Harvey said: "I'm going to relax first. My thoughts are a little confused now. Nicole Kidman will make me sober."

 Half an hour later, Harvey and Nicole Kidman entered the Four Seasons Hotel one after another.

At almost the same time, Martin and Georgina entered the Ritz-Carlton Hotel ten minutes apart.

Georgina declares war on Martin, and as a man, of course she must accept the war.

 Martin entered the room that Georgina had opened, and an extremely fierce battle began. It didn't take long before Georgina gave up.

 Admitting defeat, Georgina told Martin all of Harvey's next plans while floating in the sky.

"Just a reminder." Martin was still very conscientious: "You also know that Harvey has done a lot of bad things, and these things will eventually break out. If you are involved, it will affect your career."

Georgina didn't care: "One day, I can sell him with my backhand."

　　The couple started muttering.

Maybe it's due to sitting for a long time. I have ringworm on my buttocks. I woke up from itching at six o'clock in the morning. I have to go to the hospital today. I'm so itchy that I can't sit still.
