American Fame and Fortune Chapter 618

Chapter 618 Choosing Art

In the luxurious villa near the sea, a camera was set up in the large living room, and a few crew members were busy.

 In the director's chair, Jenna Jones is wearing a headset and listening to the live recordings from previous filming.

 The effect is not bad and it sounds quite pleasant.

Jenna looked up and found that the actor was already in place, but the actress still hadn't come over.

She glanced at her watch and said, "Where are the Bibi people? Why haven't they come yet? They're ten minutes late!"

Amidst the rapid sound of high heels hitting the ground, a woman walked over quickly and said to Jenna: "Director, Bibi is suddenly unable to go on stage early before the holiday."

ˆDue to artistic performances, actresses have temporary problems, which is very common during filming. Jenna just asked: "Are you sure?"

The woman said, "I saw it with my own eyes."

It was too late to find another actor at the last moment. Jenna stood up and took off her coat and said, "I'm the best in this scene."

 She glanced at the assistant: "You will be in the next scene."

The woman nodded: "I'm going to make preparations."

Jenna, the director, became a director and actor, performing in person.

 After filming several consecutive scenes, Jenna put on a blanket and returned to the director's seat to watch the playback. She carefully reviewed the scenes between herself and the actor. If she was not satisfied with anything, she would reshoot.

At this time, the female assistant came over with her mobile phone: "Director, I called you several times in a row."

Jenna took it and connected it: "Hello?"

 The person over there said directly: "Brad Pitt is out of prison..."

The voice was unfamiliar. Jenna didn't know who it was, but she knew exactly what to do and said, “Thank you, I know.”

 The other party gave another address and hung up the phone.

  She also has a stake in the company where Jenna works, and she has quite a lot of shares.

 The value of Brad Pitt is nothing to think about.

She put on a blanket and came to the deserted balcony. Regardless of the beauty leaking out, she dialed a phone and said, "Anderson, Pete is out of prison. Can you find a way to see him? Okay, I'll wait for you." good news."

In fact, Jenna has always wanted to shoot a scene with Martin. After buying the adaptation rights of so many of Martin's movies, and then shooting a real action scene with Martin, the effect will definitely be explosive.

 At first, she still had illusions.

As Martin climbed higher and higher, Jenna knew this could only be a fantasy.

Then, it would be a good result if the male lead in her next film is replaced by Brad Pitt.

 Los Angeles, Pasanadee.

 Pete, who was released on parole, walked into the bar alone, sat at the bar and ordered a large glass of beer.

He didn't have much money, so he even planned to drink, and he didn't dare to ask for expensive wine.

But after experiencing a hellish prison, Peter felt that life now was really difficult.

  There is no need to sleep next to the toilet, no need to worry about being beaten when taking a walk, and no need to worry about being **** while taking a walk.

Pitt thinks about the Affleck brothers and feels that he is a lucky man.

"Two glasses of gold whiskey." A man sat down next to him and pointed to Pitt at the bartender: "I'll buy one for Brad. I'm a fan of his."

Peter smiled at him and said, "Thank you." Then he asked, "What do you want from me?"

The man introduced himself and handed over a business card: "Anderson, the art director of an art company."

Pete looked down at the business card and understood what kind of art company it was. After all, before Ben asked him to return to Los Angeles, he almost signed a contract with another art company.

Anderson said: "Brad, we sincerely invite you to join, and we will form the best team for you, equipped with the best scripts and costumes, and let the most popular director and heroine Jenna Jones partner with you. "

Peter didn't care about this now and asked directly: "Where is the income?"

Anderson said: "The annual basic compensation is US$5 million, plus sales sharing."

 This is an unprecedentedly high salary among artists in the Sacred Valley, whether directors or actors.

 Pete is considering this matter seriously.

 Because he almost signed a contract with another company before, these are not taboos at all for him.

 To ensure the quality of life, money is essential.

 Apart from acting, Pete doesn't know anything else.

Hollywood and everything related to Hollywood, he can't go back.

  Pitt made a decision in his heart, but he said something else: "I want a basic remuneration of US$10 million, plus half of the profit from the work."

To the Sacred Valley Company, this was tantamount to a lion opening his mouth, but Anderson was secretly happy. Pete said such words, which meant that he was not against joining the Sacred Valley, and everything was open to discussion.

After several days of see-saw negotiations, in late September, Sacred Valley suddenly broke out a shocking news. Former Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt, who had just been released from prison on parole, officially signed a contract with Sacred Valley Art Company to become a A true artist.

 The news caused a certain stir and aroused the expectations of people across the United States.

They can't wait to see Pitt star in an artistic masterpiece.

 Jenna Jones is planning to personally plan the first project for Pitt, and has identified a role - Nick Dunn.

 Pitt cannot officially join the Sacred Valley filming until he completes his testimony against Harvey Weinstein, so it will take some time.

By then, "Gone Girl" had already been released in North America. JennJones has secured the remake rights to almost every hit movie starring Martin, and she figured getting the Sacred Valley rights for this one would be no problem.

Moreover, regarding this copyright issue, after Pitt signed the contract, Jenna specifically communicated with Martin on the phone.

New York, Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

 In the luxury suite, Julie started from the wall of the hall, kept accelerating, rushed through the hall, and ran into Martin's back at a speed of 100 meters.

Then Aniston yelled loudly.

Hearing the roar, Julie took a few steps back with a smile, then jumped out and bumped into Martin again.

Aniston shouted: "Are you crazy tonight? Aren't you tired of running back and forth, bumping back and forth?"

 Julie's laughter was particularly clear: “Aren't you going to use the most special way to celebrate Pete's joining the Sacred Valley?”

 She bumped into Martin again.

"Yes, this deserves the craziest celebration!" Aniston has often been flanked by Martin and Jolie in recent years, and is about to go dark: "Angie, you didn't eat tonight, why are you so weak and have no strength at all."

With a bang, Julie bumped into Martin again.

The mad woman's elbow hit Martin's waist, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.

 Martin said: "You two, don't you want to ask for my opinion?"

 Julie said with a smile: "You are just a tool for us to celebrate now. The tool has no right to express opinions."

 “You want to overthrow her?” Martin grabbed Julie back and pushed her to the sofa.

 He held down Aniston with one hand and picked up the clown statue next to him with the other hand.

 That is a statue of a standing clown modeled after him.

Martin twitched the clown statue and decided to teach Julie a lesson.

 Soon, a duet sounded in the room.

 After a round of poker competition, the three of them went into the bathroom to take a shower. When they came out, Martin opened a bottle of champagne.

 He poured three glasses, picked up the champagne glass, and said, "The good news you brought is worth a drink."

Aniston and Jolie clinked their glasses with him and drank from them.

 Martin poured the wine one after another.

Aniston looked at Martin and then at Jolie and said, "When I got divorced, I never would have imagined that the three of us would end up sitting together."

 Julie raised her eyebrows: "I was the one who made this possible, you have to thank me properly."

"I will." Aniston turned to Martin and said, "I'll find someone to modify the statue later, and replace it with an electric one, one that allows the clown's head to rotate quickly."

Julie was not afraid at all, but was very excited: "Make two of them, and then let Martin dual-wield them."

Martin ignored the nonsense of these two people and said seriously: "You have considerable influence in Hollywood."

Aniston said: "It can influence a group of people."

 Julie puts it differently: “I'm a leader.”

Martin said: "This year, among your Oscar votes, for Best Actor, choose Leo first."

Aniston was slightly surprised: "I thought you said you wanted us to vote for you."

“The three **** have four Oscars, but none of them belong to Leo.” Martin sighed: “If you tell me, Jack and I will be ashamed.”

 Julie said: "You can vote for him, but you have to work hard tonight."

Aniston said: "Let's do round two."

Martin said to himself that he must tell Leonardo later that he even risked his life in order for him to win the Oscar for Best Actor, and it was for free.

 For half the night there was not a drop of Martin left.

After Julie and Aniston fell asleep, he ran to the study and called Leonardo. No matter that this guy was sleeping soundly with his female companion in his arms, he angrily accused Leonardo of not being a human being and causing Leonardo to suffer. The next day I was still confused.

 Jolie and Aniston only stayed in New York for one day and went about their respective affairs.

 In the next few days, while Martin was filming, he received a lunch invitation from Warren Buffett, CocCola's largest shareholder.

This is of course not an auction Buffett luncheon, but a private gathering.

 Subsequently, Martin paid a visit and enjoyed a common steak meal in Buffett's apartment.

 The topic between the two mainly focused on the CocCola cult and the CocCola commemorative brand.

 Buffett believes that Martin can further leverage the CocCola brand to expand the influence of the CocCola brand.

 The two chatted for a long time, and it was not until mid-afternoon that Martin said goodbye and left.

The crew then finished filming in New York, and most of the crew returned to Los Angeles. Only Chad led a team and accompanied Martin to Italy to shoot street scenes in Rome.

These scenes are not many. Most of them are Martin walking on the streets. The filming is relatively simple.

 In October, the crew of "John Wick 2" finished shooting all the scenes in Rome. Martin did not stay in Italy and returned to Los Angeles with Chad.
