America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 196 Love and Family

Last year, Martin participated in the filming of three movies. House of Wax and The Hills Have Eyes have been released, and Summer of Jeans is scheduled to be released in the summer.

In the first trailer of this film, Martin's role is quite important, as if he is the male lead.

The crew specifically asked Martin to come over.

Producer Brad specifically briefed Martin and Thomas on the situation: "After The Hills Have Eyes was released, we adjusted the post-production editing to make Martin's role more important."

There's no way around it. Martin is now the most popular actor in the crew.

The North American box office of The Hills has reached 8850 million U.S. dollars, and the scandal between Martin and Anne Hathaway is well known to everyone.

This was a huge bargain that the crew got for free, and there was no way Brad would just let it go.

The contract stipulates that Martin needs to cooperate with the crew in publicity and participate in at least three public publicity activities. He does not have the capital to negotiate more conditions with Warner Bros. now: "The publicity plan is directly given to Thomas. He has reviewed it and there are no problems. I will cooperate with the crew."

This statement meant that the agent was to blame, but this was the agent's responsibility. Thomas asked, "Do you have a specific plan?"

Brad said: "Originally, the crew wanted to do something about Martin and Blake..."

Thomas immediately retorted: "If I remember correctly, Blake doesn't turn 18 until August, and this is California."

Brad changed his tone: "It's okay to be good friends, right?"

Thomas glanced at Martin and nodded: "Okay."

Brad said: "In a few days, the crew will come forward to organize a party, and then there will be a campus event at the Burbank High School where Blake is studying. The crew sponsored a game between them and North Hollywood High School."

Martin answered: "No problem on my end."

Brad said this up front: "In the promotional soft copy, there will be some reports about you, which may mention your relationship with Anne Hathaway."

Thomas secretly glanced at Martin, but Martin didn't respond.

Anything that might lead to a conflict would naturally be the responsibility of the agent. Thomas said, "We require a review of any promotional articles involving Martin before they are published."

Brad thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Just then, Martin's phone vibrated, and he pulled it out and said, "Sorry, there's an emergency call."

After Martin left, Thomas talked to Brad in detail, about some negotiation-like matters, and it would be best if the actors were not present.

If the quarrel gets really serious, you can also put the blame on the agent.

After going out, Martin checked the text messages on his phone. It was from Louise, telling him that Kelly had also bought a new phone that could talk all night.

Martin thought that the signal was so obvious that he could only go to the meeting alone.

Although he, the ox, has to work hard to plow the fields, he is not the one who suffers the most.

Martin put away his phone, went to the lounge in the front hall of the studio, found a place to sit down and wait for Thomas.

I remembered what the producer said just now. Why did he encounter so many bad people and bad things? It was not because he was bad, but because the upper reaches of the circle were bad.

The top floors of Hollywood are rotten, and as a small actor he can only rot with them.

In another corridor, the door of the post-dubbing room opened, and Blake Lively finished today's dubbing work. With a black backpack hanging on her orange sweater, she walked along the corridor towards the front hall.

As soon as she turned the corner, she saw Martin sitting in the lobby lounge.

A very ordinary casual shirt, jeans and sneakers, paired with a perfect figure and handsome face, looks very pleasing to the eye.

Blake awakened her memory of the male god and walked quickly towards him.

Martin heard the sound of quick footsteps and turned around. The first thing he saw was a pair of straight long legs, followed by a hot body with ups and downs.

These are enough to satisfy most of men's beautiful fantasies about women. If the full score is 9, points is not too much.

But if you look further up and see the overly mature face, the score will at least drop by 1.5 points.

What was awakened to Blake was not only the memory of her idol, but also her instinct to lick his lover during the filming. Her brisk walk quickly turned into a trot.

How she wished Martin would stand up, open his arms and give her a hug.

Martin turned around and just smiled at Blake: "Long time no see."

Blake ran over and stopped: "Martin, you are more handsome and more elegant than before."

"Thank you, you're more beautiful now." Martin pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit down and talk."

Blake looked at Martin who was sitting still, and was sure that he would not get up to pull the chair for him, so he could only turn around and sit down.

Martin asked casually, "I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you busy with recently?"

Blake specifically explained: "I have been doing post-dubbing for "Jeans Summer" these days. I came back from the crew and have been busy with my studies. I am preparing to apply for university. Now is a critical period, so I have not contacted you."

Martin followed up on her question and asked, "Which university are you planning to apply to?"

Blake said, "A university in California. It depends on the test scores. My family suggested that if the performance of Jeans is good, I can go directly into the acting career. You know the situation of my family. My father told me that while his connections and influence are still there, he can help me avoid some detours."

She looked at Martin: "What do you think?"

This is related to other people's life events. How can Martin give advice casually? He said: "I am a poor student and lack the knowledge and experience in this area."

"Blake!" A woman came over with Thomas.

Thomas introduced Martin: "This is Millie, the company's agent." Blake automatically replied: "My agent."

Martin shook her hand and remembered that Blake was not this agent the last time they met.

Millie said politely, "When there are activities later, please cooperate with me, Mr. Davis."

Martin said politely: "No problem."

Blake asked, "Millie, which promotion is Martin going to attend?"

Millie said, "Promotion for campus match day."

Blake turned to Martin: "Welcome to visit my school."

The two chatted for a few minutes and soon left.

Walking on the sidewalk in the studio area, Thomas specifically reminded Martin: "Don't forget, she's not even 18 yet."

Martin pointed to his head: "I won't be confused."

Having experienced the Hollywood storm in his previous life, he was well aware of the seriousness of this matter.

After leaving the studio, Martin met up with Bruce.

Old Bu didn't drive away immediately. He took out a magazine and handed it to Martin: "Take a look."

This is Vanity Fair, a magazine with great influence in the United States. Brad Pitt is on the cover. Martin opened it to read Pitt's interview.

All the content revolves around one theme: Pete longs for children and the warmth of family.

But he has no children now.

Bruce handed over another gossip newspaper, American Gossip.

Martin glanced and saw a photo of Jennifer Aniston, with a piece of news in bold below.

Jennifer Aniston has had multiple miscarriages, several of which were induced abortions. The most recent one was last year. According to reliable information leaked by insiders, Aniston insisted on aborting the child after she became pregnant despite her husband Pitt's strong opposition, which triggered a fierce quarrel between the couple. The two even became strangers for a period of time.

Bruce asked, "Is this laying the groundwork for momentum?"

"If the opponent is evil, then we are naturally just." Martin picked up another newspaper. Brad Pitt went to an institution to visit children. He squatted among seven or eight children and smiled brightly.

In the next picture, Pitt is holding a child in both hands, and his happiness seems to overflow from the photo.

It is very obvious that this is a card intended to target children and families.

Martin had heard that Aniston did have a miscarriage last year, whether it was active or passive was unknown, but once the hat was put on, it was too difficult to take it off.

Pitt has already made his move, and it’s unknown when Jolie will follow suit.

Martin put away the newspaper, threw it aside, and said, "If you keep reading, not only will you not believe in love, you won't even believe in family and affection."

Bruce said from a professional perspective: "Family and family can suppress love."

The two drove around and didn't see any paparazzi, so they entered an underground parking lot in North Hollywood. Martin planned to change cars in the parking lot and spend the night at Louise's place.

Bruce pulled down the sun visor and adjusted his appearance in the mirror.

Martin drove over, stopped beside him, and asked, "Why, are you going on a date?"

"I've made an appointment with Kim to have dinner together." Bruce, the bastard, didn't tell Martin about Kim's sister Khloe.

Martin was curious and specifically asked, "Aren't you guys filming the videotape yet? I'm waiting to buy the DVD or the videotape!"

Bruce said simply, "Kim is still getting quite a bit of attention right now, having been on a few shows recently. I suggest she wait until she's completely out of the spotlight before filming."

At this point, he mentioned one thing: "If it weren't for the release of your and Annie's selfie video and the hype, I wouldn't have let her wait patiently. First it was Paris, then you and Annie, and then Kim Kardashian in a short time, the effect will be greatly reduced."

Martin gave him a thumbs up: "Old Bull, you are becoming more and more professional."

"With your ability to mess things up, how can I clean up your mess if I don't become professional as soon as possible?" Bruce restarted the car: "Don't call me tonight if you have nothing to do."

Martin asked, "Have you prepared any gifts?"

Bruce replied casually: "I brought two pieces of jade."

"Two?" Martin raised his middle finger at Bruce: "Old Bruce, I really despise you!"

Bruce ignored all this and drove to Venice, to the agreed hotel, and met Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian in an Italian restaurant.

The latter is just over 20 years old, nearly half a head taller than the former, with a curvy figure and a hot body.

The downside is that the face is not very good looking.

But Bruce considers a woman's face as the last thing on his mind.

The waiter brought the menu.

Bruce handed it to the two of them and said, "What do you want to eat? Just order whatever you want."

Kim and Khloe didn't hesitate to order dishes.

The three of them had a very good atmosphere and enjoyed the meal together, just like a family.
