American Fame and Fortune Chapter 597

Chapter 597 Leonardo's Prodigal Son Returns

 The European premiere of the film was held in the romantic city of Paris.

On the day of the premiere, not only Martin, Nolan and other creative crew members were present, but the supporting actor Menet also specially invited Sophie Marceau and Isabelle Huppert to come and help out.

When taking the photo, Menet stood between the two French actresses, holding one waist with one hand, looking indescribably chic.

 He alone stole all the limelight.

French media even praised him: "After Morgan Freeman, he is the best supporting African-American actor in Hollywood!"

Of course, Martin's popularity is not weak either.

On both sides of the red carpet at the premiere, there was a large area of ​​red. Hundreds of fans wore red CocCola T-shirts and raised their Cokes high to pay tribute to Martin.

 They shouted loudly: "Long live the leader!"

Some people even shouted loudly: "Master, lead us to overthrow the trashy Paris City Hall and establish the kingdom of CocCola!"

Romantic Paris citizens not only go on strike, but also hope to once again set off a wave of big song titles.

 Martin opened a can of Coke and drank with them.

The CocCola believers in Paris were all excited and clamoring to go on strike to celebrate the arrival of the leader.

But no one takes it seriously, mainly because no one cares.

 After all, they are either on strike or on the way to strike.

Compared to Martin and Mene, the British actors in the crew received a cold reception, and they were not treated well by fans or the media.

 The British actors also seemed to be going through the motions, rushing by.

The premiere went well. When it was over, Martin and Ellen Page accepted Huppert's invitation and went to her place for a drink together.

 It was just a matter of drinking. Leonardo and Nicholson had already arrived in Paris.

 Martin needs to recuperate his energy to cope with the upcoming Maomei war.

The crew returned to the hotel where they were staying. When Tom Hardy walked in, he met Leonardo and Nicholson who had also returned from the trip.

These two people knew Nolan and chatted for a few words.

 Tom Hardy followed Nolan and listened secretly for a while. Leonardo mentioned having a party or something like that, and also extended an invitation to Nolan, but Nolan declined.

Take the elevator upstairs, and after returning to the room, Tom Hardy thought about Leonardo's words.

The trio of Hollywood **** are notorious. Leonardo is having a party in Paris and Martin will definitely attend.

 Tom Hardy has been involved in Hollywood for some time, and he has heard many rumors. For example, there is an organization like the Fashion Super Model Group in the United States, and Martin and Martin often hang out together, and they always take turns.

It is said that the trio of **** often hold shady gatherings and gather a large group of people to engage in mischief.

Tom Hardy thought for a few minutes, then called his follower Rogers and said: "Quietly go and find out who Leonardo and Nicholson, who live in this hotel, have been hanging out with recently. I heard Said they were organizing a big party."

Rogers didn't understand what his boss was going to do, and said: "These two are very high-profile and often accompany people in and out. It shouldn't be difficult to ask."

Tom Hardy patted him on the shoulder: "Go ahead and ask carefully."

Rogers said with a smile: "If you put a little tip, the doorman and waiter in the lobby will tell you everything."

 Tom Hardy nodded: "Don't draw attention to yourself."

Rogers left the room and went downstairs to get close to the doorman. He quietly handed over a few euros and quickly asked a lot of questions.

He was afraid that the doorman would not tell the truth, so he asked two other lobby waiters to inquire before returning upstairs.

"Boss, I've basically asked you clearly." Rogers entered Tom Hardy's room, closed the door and said: "Leonardo and Nicholson checked into the hotel one day earlier than the crew, and they met the newly divorced Russian supermodel Na I have contacted Talia Vodinova several times and had a long chat in the lobby lounge this afternoon.”

Tom Hardy knew that this supermodel had previously married into an established British aristocratic family and later divorced.

He thought carefully and said: "That's not right. Natalia is 27 years old and is not within Leonardo's hunting range."

Rogers reminded: "Didn't you say they were going to organize a large party? Natalia has great influence in Russia, Ukraine, and the entire former Soviet Union. Will Leonardo Invite people through her? After all, the quality of young female models in Eastern Europe is not generally high.”

 Tom Hardy thinks it is very possible. He has also attended some large gatherings in the entertainment industry, many of which were organized through a well-connected intermediary.

For example, Huppert's costume party, which is famous in the Paris entertainment circle, was organized by Huppert based on his own fame.

Tom Hardy asked: "Do you know anyone who participated?" "No." Rogers said softly: "They only saw Leonardo and Natalia in contact, no one else."

 Tom Hardy can judge: "The **** trio will definitely organize a party, but they don't know when or where."

Rogers added: "They haven't invited us to participate. They are really a bunch of assholes!"

Tom Hardy scratched his head, thought for a long time, and said: "If you go down again, give more tips and let the doormen pay attention. If Martin, Leonardo and Nicholson go out together, let us know immediately. ”

But Rogers said: "Boss, you don't want to cause trouble, do you?" He reminded: "I heard that Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck both wanted to mess with Martin, and they are now in the hospital."

 Tom Hardy was unhappy: “When did you become so cowardly?”

"Hollywood has selectively forgotten these people, but I saw Ben Affleck's report in the corner of the newspaper." Don't blame Rogers for being timid: "Ben Affleck came out of prison to seek temporary medical treatment, and he saw an anorectal department. ah!"

Hearing this, Tom Hardy's legs tightened inexplicably, but he was still somewhat confident, mainly because he didn't intend to do anything excessive. He said: "We don't do anything risky, we just find out when and where they will gather. , and then make a call to the media.”

Rogers' heart dropped back into his stomach.

Tom Hardy added: "The paparazzi are always crazy. I heard that a group of them are doing mischief. If anyone is brave enough to go in and take pictures, it will be very exciting."

"Boss, I really have you!" Rogers calmed down, left the room and went downstairs.

Tom Hardy came to the window and looked at the brightly lit Paris, finally feeling a little better.

 He ​​thought about it carefully, and asked Rogers to rent a car and buy a new mobile phone the next morning. The latter could just throw it away after making calls.

The crew is still participating in various promotional activities in Paris. Martin, Nolan and Mene are the busiest, with at least two announcements every day.

 They can be seen in everything from exclusive interviews in Le Figaro to France 1's flagship program.

"Inception" was already a hit in North America, and it also has many French elements. Coupled with the appeal of Martin and Nolan, the film earned a box office of US$8.89 million in its first weekend in France.

Across the strait in the UK market, the film also had a good opening, grossing US$9.66 million in its first weekend.

 "Inception", which was mainly released in Europe and Latin America, earned US$62.2 million in its first week overseas.

  In North America, the film's trend was extremely stable due to its good reputation. It only fell 39% the next weekend and collected another US$45.92 million.

　Including the gains from the previous four days, the North American box office has exceeded US$150 million!

“It has good reputation and high box office, but not many people can do it.”

In the hotel room, Nicholson put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Martin: "You bastard, you have both."

 Martin said cheerfully: "Do you know what vision is? This is vision!"

 Leonardo dismissed it and said: "Since you have discernment, let me ask you, when can I win the Best Actor?"

Nicholson responded: "Wait another ten years!"

"Maybe there will be a chance this year." Martin had just given Natalie Portman a bad idea a few days ago. Facing his old friend Leonardo, inspiration was pouring out like a fountain.

He analyzed it seriously: "You see, Harvey Weinstein has been brought down by us. Although the trial has not started yet, he will have to spend at least ten years in prison. Now there is a free period during the awards season. With a lot of resources, if you act quickly, you might be able to win an Oscar.”

Nicholson nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense."

Martin recalled carefully, who was the best actor in the same class as Natalie Portman? I really can't remember. In my previous life, it seems that the last wave of Harvey broke out in the first few years after 2010, and it did everything to the Oscars. The fierce public relations also made people hate ghosts and hate them.

Now that Harvey is gone, what happened to the movies and people he promoted has become unknown.

Hearing what his two best friends said, Leonardo suddenly gained confidence: "My performance in "Shutter Island" was outstanding, and the film's reputation was also very good. I have been competing for the Olympics for ten years, so the academy should consider me." Bar?"

“It's hard to say,” Nicholson said.

"In recent years, the situation of Oscar competition has become more and more obvious. It is difficult to win awards just relying on roles and normal public relations." After a thorough analysis, Martin began to talk nonsense: "Leo, when you angered the old men, you must Show an attitude and prove that the prodigal will never be replaced by gold!”

Leonardo frowned: "My ten years haven't been enough?"

  Martin said: "I have a way. If you do what I say, there is a 90% chance that you can win the Best Actor next year!"

 Leonardo felt that Martin must have had a bad idea, but after years of competing for the Oscars, he had achieved nothing. Instead, Martin, a bastard, won the Oscar for acting before him. He couldn't help but ask: "What good idea do you have?"

Martin said solemnly: "It is very easy to prove to all the Oscar judges that Leonardo DiCaprio turned back as a prodigal son. If you get married at the beginning of the awards season, it will definitely change the judges' view of you and prove that Leonardo has matured." , no longer the unruly yellow-haired boy.”
