America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 110 Key Figures
Inside Louise's villa in Sherman Oaks.

Kelly lay sideways on the sofa, picked up a notepad with two fingers, and waved it towards Louise: "Bartender, do you want it? Honey, Martin is really good at naming."

Louise took off her work jacket, rolled up her sleeves, and turned her eyes to Martin: "What do you say?"

Martin sat at the bar, took out two kettles, threw them to the two men, and said, "Let's fight! I'll record the video for you."

Louise caught it, grasped the head of the kettle with one hand, and the bottom of the kettle where the two eggs were connected with the other hand, looked at Martin with a smile, and exerted force to fold it in the middle.

The kettle with a unique shape actually began to bend, and it seemed like it was about to break in the middle.

Martin felt cold all over and said, "This is a war between the two of you. Why do you drag me into it? Drunkard, don't scare me. With your little strength, you really can't break it!"

He made a gesture of invitation: "Hurry up and fight each other!"

Louise and Kelly exchanged a glance, and the two sluts who were just trying to survive, picked up the kettle at the same time and turned to Martin.

Martin stood up and said, "Good, very good, we have learned to target men together."

Kelly got up and stood with Louise, looking Martin up and down like a female pervert who was about to commit violence.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Martin decisively chose to lie down, jumped onto the spacious bar, and lay horizontally on it: "You can come one by one, or all together. I suggest you come together."

He raised his finger and shook it: "Because you are no match!"

What happened in the villa became unspeakable.

During this period, under the temptation of new cocktail recipes, Master Louise Mayer of the International Bartenders Association came between Martin and Kelly.

The night breeze was blowing. The three of them changed their clothes and went up to the terrace of the villa, where they sat under the moonlight and drank and chatted together.

Martin asked with concern: "Kelly, did you get any business this time?"

Louise is still holding a grudge: "What else can she do besides grabbing you? I got her business."

"The person in the middle just now was you, bitch! It was you!" Kelly counterattacked: "You are very flexible, it seems that Martin has trained you well."

Louise is a complete and shameless slut: "I learned all this from you. I learned a lot from you during those few times in between."

Seeing that the topic was going off track, Martin placed a glass of wine in front of each person and reminded them, "Let's talk about business!"

Louise took a sip from her wine glass and said, "Throughout human history, is there anything more serious than this?"

Kelly was a little more serious than Louise. She pouted at Louise and said, "With her help, I negotiated with Warner Bros. for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The filming of this movie will be completed in Gray Studios in Atlanta."

Martin asked, "The Tim Burton project?"

"Don't worry about it. I have too much money tied up in Alexander the Great and I'm not participating in the compilation." Louise told Martin directly, "Tim Burton will only use his good friend Depp. Other roles don't suit you. There's no need to take small roles. I don't have any compilation projects in the past few months. You can figure out a way during this time."

Martin heard Alexander again and asked, "Drunkard, how much did you invest in that film?"

Louise said vaguely, "More than 20 million US dollars."

Kelly deliberately squeezed her: "I really hope this movie fails, and you, a pervert, go bankrupt and have to go out and sell your sex life."

"Even if we fail, most of the losses will be in the funds of the platter." Louise said with a hint of doubt: "Of course, I won't have an easy time either..."

She suddenly looked at Martin: "Would you like to support a bankrupt old woman then?"

Martin said seriously: "It's no problem to support you for two lifetimes. Whatever I have, you will have."

Louise smiled, "You keep talking nicer and nicer, but I know it's fake. If I really go bankrupt, I'll become a bartender and sell alcohol."

Martin didn't argue and changed the subject: "Kelly, you are the producer of "Zombie Gigolo". I have good news for you. My agent has reached an agreement with Lionsgate and has applied for this year's Saturn Award for Best Young Actor. Maybe I will get a nomination."

Kelly said, "All global rights to the film have been sold. I can't help you with this."

Louise took over the conversation: "Just want to be nominated? Not want to win the award?"

"It would be best if I could win an award." Martin listed the movies and actors that were nominated at the same time, and said, "Except for Lindsay Lohan from Freaky Friday, I have never even heard of the other actors' names. Their qualifications are not much better than mine."

Louise picked up the wine glass and motioned for the two to drink together. "This is difficult to say, but it's also easy to say. The Science Fiction and Horror Film Academy are not as unified as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The two are relatively scattered. Right now, the most influential boss in the Horror Film Academy is Wes Craven. As long as you can get Wes Craven on your side, it will be easy to get a small award like Best Young Actor."

Martin knew who this was: “The writer, producer and director of the Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream series.”

Louise said: "It would be more appropriate to call him the godfather of modern Hollywood horror films."

"How can we deal with him?" Martin asked Louise and Kelly directly: "If I sell my ass, do you mind?"

Louise warned fiercely: "I will cast you into a concrete pillar and throw you into the Pacific Ocean!" She softened her tone: "He won't accept your offer even if you sell him. Wes Craven has been famous for so many years. He has money, women, men, and transsexuals. What can impress him?"

Martin asked, "What is his favorite hobby?"

"He's famous for throwing wild parties." Louise briefly explained, "He likes to play those large-scale, crazy, and exciting party games, but he rarely does that in recent years. It's probably because he plays too many games and lacks novelty."

Martin pondered carefully: "Do you know him?"

"The kind where you nod and say hello when you meet someone." Louise smiled and stretched out her hand: "Other than that..."

Kelly said to Martin: "I warned you that this bitch would drain you dry sooner or later and kick you out."

Martin would not let her succeed so easily: "Give me some time, I can come up with a new formula."

"Okay, I'll keep track of it." Louise was also good at keeping people in suspense: "I'll ask around and see how I can establish a relationship."

Kelly saw the couple flirting and making deals in front of her, and she was immediately dissatisfied: "Martin, you haven't given me any advice for a long time."

Martin thought for a moment and said, "The homosexuality issue is very serious in California. I think it may spread. Georgia will not be able to escape. When the time is right, Kelly, you can launch a new version that combines homosexual rights."

"Bisexual?" Louise drank and exuded a wanton aura. She pulled Kelly over and gave her a passionate kiss. Her hands climbed up again, and she turned her watery eyes to Martin, raising her long eyebrows: "Is this the new version?"

Martin couldn't stand it, so he stood up and drank the wine in his glass: "I'll show you two what a new version is."

The next morning, Kelly was in high spirits and went to discuss cooperation with producer Brad Grey on "Charlie and the Choker Factory".

Martin accompanied Louise to the LA Free Association.

Louise is one of many trustees.

Chairman Caroline is a blonde woman in her forties who has the ability to influence the political landscape of Los Angeles.

Louise introduced: "Chairman, this is Martin Davis, the inventor of the kettle. He and Kelly are the real promoters of the Georgia movement. You asked me to lure him to Los Angeles, and I did it with great difficulty."

Caroline gently shook hands with Martin: "You did a great job in Atlanta. I know Kelly Gray, she doesn't have such ability. You are the real driving force behind the scenes, right?"

Martin gave the credit to Kelly, and he would not change his words no matter what the situation. He said, "Kelly did most of the work. I only made a few small suggestions, but Kelly turned my unreliable ideas into reality."

Caroline invited Martin to sit down: "Do you plan to stay in Los Angeles for a long time?"

Martin said: "I am an actor, and this is the best place for me to develop."

"Atlanta is a small place after all." Caroline said with regret: "If the kettle was launched in Los Angeles, the momentum would be several times that of the current one."

Louise chimed in: "My own life, my own decisions, also came from Martin."

Caroline looked at Martin deeply and formally invited him, "Are you interested in joining us?"

"This is what I have been looking forward to." Martin said seriously: "Just like what I did in Atlanta, I am willing to contribute to this great cause."

Caroline said: "Don't underestimate yourself. You have a certain fame and reputation in freedom associations across the United States. All those who are fighting for this cause recognize you as an important comrade."

"It's an honor," Martin said.

Caroline then said to Louise, "You will take Martin to go through the formalities and become a formal social investigator."

She offered a carrot: "Martin, as long as you make a contribution, I will recommend you to be the eighth male commissioner in history at the next committee meeting."

Martin said politely, then followed Louise to go through the formal joining procedures.

The salary in Los Angeles is generally higher than that in Atlanta. Martin, a social investigator, only needs to submit an investigation report every month, but his weekly salary is $600.

This amount of money is enough for ordinary people to live a normal life.

When leaving the headquarters, Martin thought of the topic discussed last night and said, "Drunkard, if you really go bankrupt, the salary of the director can guarantee your basic living."

Louise laughed, "Do you think I can still be a director if I'm bankrupt?"

Martin's mind immediately came to his senses: "It's okay, I'll support you then."

Louise said: "If the movie really fails, I will tear Kelly's mouth apart first!"

Hearing about the broken mouth, Martin thought of another person with an even broken mouth.
