America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 214 Full of Guilt
At Los Angeles International Airport, paparazzi who had been notified in advance arrived near the departure gate, waiting for the news to hit them automatically.

Jody wore a Dodgers baseball cap backwards and hung a camera while waiting in an area of ​​the airport where photography was allowed.

Early this morning, she received a call from Atlanta, a notification from an old acquaintance.

The airport broadcast announced that the target flight had arrived. After waiting for a while, passengers began to walk out of the VIP channel.

Jody picked up the camera and prepared to take pictures. When Martin walked out of the passage, she pressed the shutter of the camera repeatedly.

Sure enough, there is news.

Walking next to Martin was Angelina Jolie.

The two did not communicate much and were more like partners and friends.

Julie was wearing a short windbreaker, holding a toddler boy's hand in her left hand and holding a little girl in her right hand, her whole body radiating the radiance of maternal love.

It seemed as if the child was everything to her.

Martin hurried away, leaving the performance venue to Julie alone.

The two had a deep chat on the plane on the way here, and this time when they returned to Los Angeles, Julie was ready to take action.

Martin left the terminal, got into the car driven by Jessica, and said, "Don't go back to the apartment for now, go to the Four Seasons Hotel."

As soon as I left the airport, the paparazzi followed me.

Martin was used to it, and said to Bruce, "Pay more attention to Julie's news."

"Things are bound to get out of hand," Bruce suggested, "Aniston is America's sweetheart, and you are America's hero, so why don't you just take Aniston down."

Martin was too lazy to pay attention to Old Bull. He was several levels lower than Aniston in terms of status. He asked Jessica, "Anything special happened recently?"

Jessica knew that Martin was asking about himself, so she said, "No, everything is normal."

After entering Beverly, the car quickly stopped in front of the hotel.

Martin and Bruce entered the hotel together, checked in, and then went into the elevator and met the two people who came out.

Anne Hathaway and her agent Maha.

Both sides stopped at the same time.

Martin was very graceful and nodded to Anne and Maha: "What a coincidence."

Maha is a smooth-talking agent and responded with a smile: "Long time no see, Martin."

Anne's eyes fell on Martin's face. She wanted to leave immediately, but she couldn't move her feet. She said softly, "Do you have time to chat for a while?"

"Okay." Martin walked out of the elevator, went to the coffee shop next door, and sat down in an empty place.

Anne followed in alone and sat opposite Martin.

After more than two months of not seeing this man, he has become a hero admired by the whole United States. Not only did he receive the Golden Key of Honorary Citizen of Los Angeles, he is also said to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Anne felt very upset, but these were not the key reasons.

A few days ago, Annie read in the newspaper that "Wanted" started filming in Atlanta, and the public production cost was 6500 million US dollars!
Martin is not only the leading actor, but also the production manager, and he obviously attracted investment.

The crew of "The Departed" has also announced the cast, with Martin playing the second male lead and joining the crew with money!
That was a Scorsese movie.

Anne whispered, "See on the news, you're filming in Atlanta?"

Martin said frankly: "Yes, I was filming Wanted and came back to attend a premiere this time."

Anne raised her head and stared at Martin. "Why did you lie to me? Everything was going well, so why did you say that the investors gave up their investment..."

Martin was surprised: "When did I tell you that investors gave up investing?" He thought back: "I never said that!"

Anne then remembered that Martin had never told her in person, but at this moment, she felt indignant and said directly: "That morning, Bruce came to the room, and I heard what you said to him."

Martin tried to recall: "I remember now, the day you said you wanted to break up, I was going to audition for The Departed. I asked Bruce to help me with the scenes and get familiar with the audition so that I could go to the crew for a second audition."

Even though Annie thought she was very smart and had a plan for doing things, she never expected such a situation to happen and was stunned.

She couldn't believe it: "You... are you telling the truth?"

Martin said: "In order to check the performance, I also asked Old Bull to bring a camera. At that time, a special video was taken. Old Bull read the lines with a temporary script. If you want to see the video, I asked Old Bull to find it."

Anne lowered her head slightly, but just as she lowered it, she raised it again and asked, "Why don't you explain to me?"

Martin looked helpless: "You said you wanted to break up with me, but you didn't tell me the reason. How can I explain it?"

Annie thought, I can't tell you that I'm breaking up with you because you have no money prospects, right? I'm not such a materialistic person!
Martin continued, "I called you the first time, and you hung up and turned off your phone. Then you changed your number." He asked, "What can I do?"

Annie was very upset. She actually gave up on such a high-quality stock. How stupid!

She thought of Martin's current fame and career, and tried to make amends: "I misunderstood you. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, we..."

Martin immediately interrupted her: "I'm sorry, Annie, everything is over. I've been through the shooting, and I'm extremely tired physically and mentally. I just want to be alone and quiet. I don't want to talk about love for the time being."

Anne still wants to make amends.

Martin seemed to have suffered great harm and walked out lonely and dejected.

Anne's eyes were red and she felt guilty. She murmured, "I'm sorry."

She watched Martin walk further and further away, turned the door and disappeared, with only one thought in her mind: "I failed this relationship."

Martin returned to the hotel lobby and joined Bruce upstairs. After entering the suite, Bruce couldn't help but ask curiously, "Annie asked to get back together?"

"I refused and put all the blame on her." It was impossible for most people to make the princess feel guilty and admit her mistakes. Martin sat on the sofa and asked, "Am I a scumbag this time?"

"It's OK." In the past, Bruce would have said all kinds of bad things, but this time it was different: "Compared to those perverts in the crew, you have much higher bottom line and principles."

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take Morgan Freeman, he has managed his public image very well, and his acting skills and character are well-known.

Bruce packed his luggage and said to Martin, "I'm going out tonight."

Martin said: "Go meet your Kardashians."

Maybe because he had seen too many perverts in the crew, Bruce became justified and felt at ease.

Back in Los Angeles, Martin was finally able to take a break, take a hot bath, and have a good night's sleep.

It's not easy for male stars either. After all, it's much harder to stand up at any time than to spread your legs at any time.

Martin slept very soundly that night and didn't even hear Blake Lively calling him.

When he woke up the next day, he could see news about Jolie and Pitt in various entertainment newspapers and magazines that Bruce brought back.

Julie focuses on maternal love, like the Virgin Mary.

Pete still longs for family and children.

The publicity plan that was interrupted by the Burbank Middle School incident was launched again to forcibly establish a persona.

With just over a month left until Mr. and Mrs. Smith is released, this is the perfect time.

…………

In the suburbs of Los Angeles, at a farm owned by Jolie, reporters and photographers from People magazine, a subsidiary of Warner, were busy setting up the shooting location.

Their editor-in-chief had struck a deal with Jolie and Warner Bros. executives to get a series of exclusives.

Julie came out of the cabin with the children.

She held the baby she had just adopted this year and played with her son.

No script is needed, Julie has enough ability to make these things natural and real.

What's more, the photographers are very skilled and can always capture the most wonderful moments.

After filming for a while, a minibus drove over. Brad Pitt got off first, then asked the dozen orphans on the bus to get off in an orderly manner.

Then he brought the children to join Julie.

The theme of today's photo shoot is family and children.

After snapping a lot of photos, with Jolie's deliberate guidance, the photographer captured photos of Pitt having fun with her and their two children.

It's perfect for a cover!

After the shoot, someone took the children to visit the farm, and the chief reporter from People magazine came over and conducted an exclusive interview with Jolie and Pitt, who love children.

Julie is firmly in control of the situation.

Finally, the interview ended.

The staff of People magazine were the first to evacuate.

Jolie was busy all the time, and it took a long time for Pitt to find a chance to really sit down and chat.

"Will we go to your place or mine later?" He specifically asked Julie: "We haven't been together for several months."

Julie said, "It's not convenient for me these days, and I have to take care of the children."

She plans to force Aniston and Pitt to divorce, so Pitt has almost lost his charm in her eyes: "What we are doing now is related to our future. Every step is very important. Let's be cautious."

Pete agreed: "For our future."

Julie had long since stopped agreeing with him: "We must be patient for the sake of better development in the future. We cannot allow any accidents to happen at this time."

Pete nodded: "I understand, then let's wait until this period of time has passed."

Julie smiled and said, "Keep in touch."

Pete got in the car and left. On the way, he made a phone call and planned to go back to find his usual housekeeper to take care of the matter.

Female domestic workers, nannies, cleaners and the like have always been his favorite.

When Peter's car left the farm, Julie took out her cell phone and called Martin. As soon as the call was connected, she smiled and asked, "Mr. Martin, do you have time? I'll come to you for class."

After receiving the response, Jolie immediately threw her two adopted children to the nanny, drove the nanny's car straight to Beverly Hills, and entered the Four Seasons Hotel alone.

After a night of replenishing ammunition, Martin resumed his firepower.

Julie left alone in the afternoon.

Because Martin is leaving.

This afternoon, the premiere of "Summer of Jeans" was held at the Sunshine Cinema in Los Angeles.

This youth film will be released in major theaters across North America during the second weekend of the summer season.
