Chapter 593: Did you become a spy?
The Kodak Theater in Hollywood, the scene of the world premiere of "Inception".
The two sides of the red carpet in front of the theater were completely occupied by two groups.
Some people were dressed in black and held up various posters or slogans supporting Nolan.
These people are all the die-hard fans Nolan created with "The Dark Knight".
He is a **** in the hearts of this group of people.
The other group wore red cultural shirts with the symbols of the CocCola Cult all over their bodies and heads. They were followers of the CocCola Cult.
When Martin walked on the red carpet, everyone in black and red gave out enthusiastic shouts.
“Leader, I love you!”
“Forever Coke God of War!”
“Joker, the eternal god!”
“You are an agent of chaos!”
Martin waved as he walked, causing more shouts. He came to the area where members of the Coke Cult gathered, took the pen given by a believer, and signed several people's names.
“Coke! Coke…”
People around are shouting.
Like magic, Martin pulled out a long can of Coke with his backhand, opened it, and drank with the believers.
“Eternal CocCola Cult, Eternal CocCola God of War!”
Amidst the shouts of the fans, Martin raised his Coke again: "Here's to you, my lovely friends!"
At the area where black clothes gathered on the other side, the shouts became louder: "Martin, this way, this way!"
Martin put down his Coke and walked across the red carpet to the opposite side to sign their posters for Joker and Cobb.
A person wearing clown makeup asked: "Will you star in the new Batman?"
Martin smiled: "Sorry, this involves commercial secrets, I can't answer."
The young man in a suit next to him asked: "Martin, can you establish a Chaos Cult?"
This question was asked, so Martin simply pretended not to hear it, signed autographs for the fans, smiled and waved and left.
Coming to the media area in front of the Kodak Theater, he accepted a routine interview with reporters and played hard for the film.
The test screenings of "Inception" have received excellent reviews and deserve to be praised.
Subsequently, Martin came to the area where the crew and creative staff gathered, waiting for the director to come over.
Meine came over and whispered: "Boss, I gave the pendant you gave to Celine Dion. Celine was very happy and happily sang for me alone."
Martin said: "Celine is happy not because of the gift, but because you are the one who gave the gift."
Meine smiled cheerfully: "Boss, the gift you chose is still strange."
Ellen Page saw the two people muttering and asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"
Martin pointed at Mene: "I'm asking him for advice on how to pick up girls."
Ellen Page didn't believe it: “At that party in Paris, I saw you leaving with a woman easily.”
She shook her head and sighed: "I struggled for half a night, but I still couldn't pick up anyone. I was entangled by several men and almost couldn't get away."
Mene said: "You should have called me then."
Ellen Page shrugged: "You are with that woman who looks a lot like Sophie Marceau. I'm sorry to disturb you."
At this time, there was another earth-shattering shout on the red carpet, and Nolan walked onto the red carpet.
Among the black-clad movie fans, he has unparalleled appeal.
To this day, these people are still on IMDB, fighting to the death with fans of "The Godfather" and "The Shawshank Redemption".
Nolan quickly came to the waiting area, joined Martin and other creative staff, and stood in front of the sponsor's backdrop for a group photo.
Soon, a group of people entered the cinema.
ˆThe guests and the cast and crew were the last to enter, including Martin and Nolan, who all came to the theater lounge to wait.
Nolan is obviously under less pressure than when "The Dark Knight" premiered. He told Martin: "The response to this summer's blockbusters has been good. I hope we can continue this good luck."
Martin said: "It shouldn't be a big problem."
The first movie to be released this summer is "Iron Man 2". Although the reputation is not as good as the first movie, it was a box office hit.
The subsequent films such as "Toy Story 3", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", "Despicable Me" and "Kung Fu Dream" all achieved box office success.
"Inception" chose the Independence Day schedule, which is almost the best in the entire summer, and there is also a major production in the same schedule.
"The Last Airbender" is produced by Paramount Pictures and directed by Knight Shyamalan.
This director from India is a great person. Not only did he make the classic "The Sixth Sense", but he also cheated the six major Hollywood companies fairly and fairly.
After chatting with Nolan for a while, Martin saw Daniel and Jon Berg, the president of Warner Pictures, who were accompanying Kevin Tsujihara.
The latter came over directly, shook hands with Martin, and said: "I have always admired you very much. You have worked hard all the way from the bottom to become the first-line Hollywood star you are today. The roles and works you have performed are both entertaining and artistic. They are quite rare."
Martin understood what he meant, neither humble nor condescending: "If possible, I also hope to continue to cooperate with Warner Brothers." Kevin Tsujihara said: "You take the initiative to give in." He still hoped to keep this cash cow, and casually opened a short position. Check: "Warner will give you back a superstar and a Best Actor Oscar."
Hearing that the other party did not mention the concession, Martin smiled and said: "Let me think about it carefully."
Kevin Tsujihara is naturally condescending: "If you miss the opportunity, you will never get it again."
Without waiting for Martin to say anything else, he strode towards Ridley Scott, and beside him was Lao Lei's agent Ali Emmanuel.
Daniel came over and patted Martin on the shoulder, then followed.
On the contrary, Jon Berg stayed and said to Martin: "The filming of "Pharaohs and Gods" based on Exodus will start soon. Are you interested in playing the role of the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses?"
Martin shook his head: "I can't adjust my schedule. The promotion of "Inception" is over, and I will shoot "John Wick 2" soon."
ˆ Jon Berg left without saying anything more.
Martin sighed secretly in his heart, he couldn't just dig the hole by himself and jump down again.
Ridley Scott's eyes turned around at this time.
Martin responded quickly and nodded in his direction.
Lao Lei also nodded in greeting and whispered a few words to Ali Emmanuel beside him.
Ali found Martin and said: "Ridley asked me to ask you, when you rejected his invitation, did you think "Robin Hood" would fail at the box office?"
This film was released in May, with a box office of US$36.06 million in North America in its first week. Compared with an investment of nearly US$200 million, it can only be said that both the box office and the reputation are extremely unsatisfactory.
Martin spread his hands: "I just don't have the right schedule. You know my schedule is very full."
Ali asked: "Don't you think Ridley Scott is going to die?"
"Of course not!" Martin said honestly: "I also wanted to invite him to direct a film project, but it's a pity..."
Ali knows some inside information: “It's a pity that the project was snatched away by Warner?”
Martin said vaguely: "Exodus is written in the Bible, and Warner can't talk about grabbing it." He began to pave the way for the future: "Tonight is not appropriate. Please tell Director Ridley Scott for me. I'm a fan of Alien, Blade Runner, Stickman, Gladiator and Black Hawk Down, and I've always wanted to work with him.”
Ali knew Martin somewhat well and knew that he was not joking.
Martin added: "If possible, can you leave me with the schedule after Ridley finishes filming "Pharaohs and Gods"?"
Ali said: "I will give Ridley truthful feedback."
Two people arrived late and entered the VIP room at this time.
Martin said something to Ali, then walked over and said, "You two bastards, you're late."
Nicholson said: "Leo answered a phone call halfway and stopped for a while. This **** could not drive as fast as he sprinted 100 meters."
"Shut up!" Leonardo glanced at the people in the VIP room, called Martin and Nicholson out with his hook, and said in a low voice: "Do you know where that call came from? Russia!"
Martin was stunned: "You...actually became a spy! Leo, I'm going to report you."
Nicholson immediately followed up: "Is there a reward for reporting spies?"
Leonardo put his hands on his hips, turned around angrily, and said, "Have you forgotten that I plan to hold a big gathering of Russian and Ukrainian models!"
Martin's direction changed instantly, and he accused Nicholson: "Hurry up and catch the spy, and the bonus will be used as party expenses."
He asked Leonardo: "Are you sure?"
Leonardo raised his head, pointed his chin at Martin, and said: "Aren't you going to Paris for the European premiere in a few days? I chose that time period, which is full of young models."
Nicholson didn't bother to refute Martin and said: "You didn't tell me first on the way, you bastard, you still think I am the boss? Very good, this time I am only responsible for bringing the gun!"
Martin is very self-conscious: "The party was paid for by Leo's contacts and I paid for it."
Leonardo put his arm around Martin's shoulders: "This is what good brothers should be like."
Martin was curious: “Who did you invite this time?”
“Don't have too high hopes.” Leonardo took precautions: “They are basically some second-tier models and actors from Russia and Ukraine. There are only a few supermodels that you know.”
Most of the Russian supermodels have walked in Victoria's Secret shows, and Martin not only knows them, but also has a deep friendship with them.
Bruce came out of the lounge door and said to the three Martins: "Get ready to enter."
The three **** finished chatting and returned to the lounge.
The guests attending the premiere were the first to enter the venue.
Nolan and Emma Thomas then entered the theater with a group of creative staff, including Martin.
After the routine question-and-answer session from the media and fans, the crew took their seats in the front row.
Martin sat next to Nolan, who had Emma Thomas on his other side, then Mene and Tom Hardy.
The latter looked at Martin frequently.
With Brad Pitt's confession, Harvey Weinstein has added a new criminal charge out of control, and the so-called truth about the shooting on the set has emerged.
Most of Tom Hardy's grievances fell on Martin, and he felt that he had taken the blame for Martin for no reason.
But he knew that there was a huge difference in status between the two of them, and he could only endure any grievances.
