America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 154 I Want You to Be the Male Lead
In Century City, Thomas waited in the Starbucks store in the shopping mall, drinking cup after cup of coffee, and finally waited for his future.

Martin and Bruce entered Starbucks and immediately saw Thomas under the lights.

Bruce asked, "Is it an illusion caused by the light? Why is Thomas's forehead brighter than before?"

"Don't you think he's better than before?" Martin strode to the opposite side of Thomas, pulled out a chair and sat down, looking like a good client who felt sorry for his agent: "You've been waiting for a long time, right? You've worked hard."

Thomas closed his laptop and said, "It's nothing. I often work overtime."

Especially recently, he has gotten used to it.

Bruce took out a memory card and handed it to Thomas: "The photos I took."

Thomas took out the card reader, inserted it into the computer, checked the photos one by one, and nodded frequently: "The photos are very good, Martin, you and Annie are no different from a real couple."

Martin emphasized: "I am pursuing Anne, and Anne also wants to date me. This is a burst of real feelings!"

Bruce said calmly, "Annie's followers are also filming."

"You pervert don't understand love at all." Martin glanced at Old Bull and said, "Every love is different and always has its own special features."

After looking at the photos, Thomas said, "I have an idea for the best couple costumes in this Halloween parade - Martin Davis and Anne Hathaway."

Martin agreed: "Okay. Thomas, please take the trouble to finish the manuscript tonight."

Thomas was full of energy: "Leave it to me."

Martin and Bruce then left Starbucks, and before leaving, they generously treated Thomas to a cup of espresso.

Thomas worked all night long, writing until the early morning, revising it again and again, and then rushed to the cooperating newspaper and handed it to the editor together with the selected photos.

When I left, I noticed that the sky was getting brighter in the east.

Many movies were released during Halloween, and the popularity of the wax museum was suppressed by the new movies, but Martin's name and photos still maintained a certain exposure rate.

Especially on the Internet, many websites reprinted the photos from his blog.

Martin and Anne Hathaway's couple costumes as Batman and Catwoman were well received.

The topic of couples needs to keep a good rhythm. If you feed people dog food every day, people will soon become bored.

Martin's enthusiasm for Anne quickly cooled down and they only contacted her occasionally.

…………

At the Hilton Hotel, Anne returned to her room after attending a script reading, took out her cell phone and checked it, but there was no reply.

Martin first sent her a message, she replied, and then Martin didn't reply for a long time.

Anne was a little mad. What did this mean? Did he not care about her anymore?

A few days ago, I was as enthusiastic as a...

Annie was so uneasy that she couldn't help but send another text message: "Busy at work?"

Still no reply.

After waiting for a few minutes, just when I was about to get angry, my cell phone rang with a text message alert.

"I attended a meeting at Warner Bros." Martin's reply was very targeted: "My next film has a release date. Unlike the wax museum, I will be the absolute protagonist."

Anne asked, "Horror movie?"

Martin continued to throw bait: "Wes Craven's horror film, the second version has just been cut, and the internal previews have been very good. It was originally scheduled for April. I, the Wax Museum, has received a lot of attention. Warner Bros. is confident in the film and has specially moved it up to February."

Anne has been working in Hollywood and understands the importance of Wes Craven. His horror films have been successful for more than ten years. What Warner Bros. has done is clearly because they are optimistic about the film and Martin's future.

"If the future is good..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Laura went to open the door and Anne found that her agent Maha Dakshir had come.

Maha comes from CAA and is a key figure under CAA co-founder Braun Lord.

Anne quickly sent a text message back to Martin and stood up to greet him: "Maha, why are you here?"

Maha, who is much older than Anne, smiled and said, "Come and see if my little princess is immersed in love."

Anne said: "Martin and I are just ordinary friends."

"Love is part of an actor's career, and a very important part of it." Maha, the agent, also considers work first: "Annie, do you have a good impression of Martin?"

"I have a good impression of him, but..." Anne admitted generously that, as of now, Martin has many advantages but only one disadvantage.

Maha's face was full of encouraging smiles.

"Nothing." Annie knew that her agent was not her friend, and there were some things she would never say to her agent: "I'm from New York in the north, and he's from Atlanta in the south."

Maha put away her encouraging smile and said, "These are not obstacles." She specifically reminded: "After the popularity of "Princess Diaries 2" passed, your attention has been declining, but recently your attention has soared."

Anne knew why: "Because of me and Martin?"

Maha said directly: "A good love should be a booster for an actor's career."

Anne said: "I asked Laura to secretly take some photos and send them to the newspapers, and also asked her to contact the paparazzi."

"You're doing great." Maha encouraged, "Maximizing the value of a relationship." She asked, "Do you need me to talk to Martin's agent?"

Anne was silent for a while, then asked, "How do we talk about this specifically?"

Maha said: "When he confesses his love to you or you confess your love to him, the first time you hold hands, the first time you kiss, go on vacation, visit each other on set, and then have arguments about living together, all of these are media-worthy."

Although Annie was mentally prepared, she was still a little surprised: "Isn't this going to make all of my private lives public?"

"Brian Lord was Madonna's agent, and I was Brian's assistant at the time." Maha suddenly talked about something unrelated: "Madonna's status was brought by her career, but how did she get so much popularity at the time? She dated one male star after another, including those outside the entertainment industry, seduced Rodman, and gave Michael Jordan a bathtub. These made her a top-notch topic in the United States."

She had specifically inquired before coming here: "Martin's next work is a Wes Craven horror film. He will definitely be the leading actor. The chance of success is over 80%. His future is promising."

Annie was a little confused: "Let me think about it."

Maha comforted: "Don't be anxious. If you miss this one, there will be another one."

Anne subconsciously said, "Can the next one be as good as Martin?"

Maha sighed inwardly, the little girl had not yet stepped out of the initial stage of judging people by appearance.

However, Martin Davis is indeed handsome and has great temperament, especially the zombie machine gun dance, which makes people want to experience it in person.

"Remember to inform me in time if there is any progress." Maha did not stay long, gave a few instructions and left the hotel.

After Halloween, the crew of "The Hills Have Eyes" took advantage of Martin's recent popularity and released the first official poster of the film.

The poster uses a mountain town as the background.

Martin was covered in blood, holding a baby in his left hand with two broken fingers, and holding a baseball bat covered in blood, flesh and bones in his right hand. A scarred German Shepherd followed him to one side, and two deformed and horrible corpses lay behind him.

At the top of the poster, the title of the film is written: The Hills Have Eyes.

The actor cast marked in extra-large text below includes only one person - Martin Davis!
As one of the three giants in the crew, no actor competed with Martin for a role.

The poster also has a subtitle: Save the children, face evil!
Hollywood movies never go out of style and are the favorite theme of North American audiences!
Then there’s the release date, which is particularly easy to remember: the weekend after the Super Bowl next year.

There are still more than three months before the film opens, which is far from the period of explosive publicity. The crew took advantage of Martin's popularity, released a poster, and then quickly fell silent.

Both the crew and the distributor Warner Bros. recognized Martin as the focus of publicity.

In this day and age, whether you are a talent with good acting skills or a popular star, they all rely on resources to gain popularity.

Martin's schedule gradually stabilized. He went to Warner Studios every day to participate in the post-production of The Hills Have Eyes. He occasionally asked Anne out, and they worked out and practiced shooting according to their schedule.

…………

Venice, a seaside hotel.

Kim Kardashian, in disguise, came to the top floor of the hotel and knocked on a door.

Bruce opened the door, let Jin in first, looked around, closed the door, and suddenly opened the door after a moment. He observed again and found nothing unusual, then closed the door and went back to the house.

Jin rushed towards Bruce: "You finally came to me!"

Her way of throwing herself into Bruce's arms was different from that of other women. Jin threw herself into Bruce's arms backwards.

Bruce asked, "Did you meet Paris?"

"Yes." Kim was happy but also disappointed: "Paris and I have officially broken up."

Bruce said, "I saw it in the newspaper. You almost had a fight."

Jin's voice rose unconsciously: "She is jealous of me. She is jealous that I went from being a bag-carrying girl to a celebrity like her."

Bruce motioned for her to continue.

Kim added: "That bitch said I became famous just by borrowing her name, and my popularity will soon fade, and I will never be as famous as Paris Hilton."

Bruce felt that this made sense. After Kim had consumed Paris, the heat would naturally fade away.

Jin raised his head and looked at Bruce eagerly: "Is there any way for me to stay popular for a longer time?"

She has experienced the brilliance of being the center of attention and does not want to return to obscurity: "I have nightmares every night, dreaming that I become an ordinary person again. No! I will never be an ordinary person!"

Bruce came here to say goodbye to Kardashian. The movie marketing was over and the practice was done. He said, "Sorry, Kim, I don't have any other way."

Jin sensed something, took a step forward, turned his head while twisting his waist: "You...you want to leave me?"

Bruce learned Martin's true colors as a scumbag: "You can call me anytime, I can come out anytime."

Jin turned back and laid on the table: "Actually, I have an idea. Why is Paris famous? Why do people always remember her? Because her videotapes have always existed."

Bruce looked at Kim and guessed something.

Under Bruce's training, Jin quickly awakened in some aspects: "If I also have such a videotape, will it have the same effect? ​​I think it can!"

She turned back again: "I want you to be the leading actor!"
