America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 218 Martin's Advantages

The heat of Los Angeles in May is not as intense as the explosive gossip in Hollywood.

After the Burbank Middle School incident in April, another piece of Hollywood news went viral, attracting the attention of people across the United States.

The recently published "People" magazine first revealed that Brad Pitt has chosen to divorce Aniston and will be with Angelina Jolie.

The cover of the new issue is a photo of Pitt and Jolie's family.

In the related cover story, in the name of children and family, all the faults were pinned on Aniston for not wanting children.

The producers of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" also secretly took action and gave a strong push.

On the increasingly influential Internet, there are even widely circulated gossip articles.

"Child! Child!"

"During the five years that Pitt and Aniston were married, Pitt always wanted to have children, but Aniston didn't want to. She gave up her family for her career, which eventually led to the breakdown of their relationship..."

Don't expect the media to have any integrity, stance or sense of justice. At times like this, they will only take advantage of others' misfortune.

This is not a political event, but entertainment gossip that the public loves to hear.

For a film, the exposure and curiosity aroused by the leading actors can effectively boost commercial performance. Fox, which invested heavily in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", all related reports were biased towards Pitt and Jolie.

Jolie is a loving mother and Pitt is a man who loves his family.

The only one who was hurt was naturally Aniston.

The latter was also decisive and cut the Gordian knot, publicly announcing her divorce from Pitt and making that famous speech about marriage.

"I wanted the most loyal relationship from the bottom of my heart, but he had the right to choose another way, so he chose to break up."

Aniston's voluntary withdrawal did not calm public opinion.

This shocking gossip even spread beyond Europe and the United States, and was even discussed on the Internet on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

The coolest man and woman seem to have come together, and even the TV series "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" starring them has attracted much attention.

“Have you looked at the online forums?”

In the room at the Four Seasons Hotel, Martin was looking at a movie forum and said to Julie, who was walking back and forth, "There's a survey of recently released movies here. The number of people who want to watch Mr. and Mrs. Smith has increased more than ten times compared to last week. Based on my limited experience, the box office of the movie will not be bad."

Julie turned around and walked towards Martin, disarming herself as she walked: "Teacher, it's all because of your good teaching. Without you, I wouldn't be able to do it."

Martin knew very well that it was impossible for him to establish a normal relationship with this slut, so he simply said, "Classmate, how are you going to repay the teacher?"

Julie knelt down in front of Martin, reached forward and grabbed the belt buckle, but did not take any further action. Instead, she said, "Teacher, can you call Louise, Kelly or Blake? Even Annie will do. Please! Please call them quickly!"

Martin said, "When asking for help, you should have the attitude and posture to ask for help."

Julie understood instantly and went to unbuckle her belt, but her cell phone rang at this moment. She didn't want to answer it, but when she glanced, she saw that the person calling was actually Pitt.

"Teacher, it's Pete. Should I answer the phone?" She looked at Martin sideways and spoke seductively.

How could an honest man like Martin do such a perverted thing? He said, "It's your business, you decide for yourself."

Julie answered the phone: "It's me, what's up?"

Pete asked, "I'm at your door and you're not home?"

"The paparazzi harassment was so severe that the child could not rest." Jolie is a loving mother, so she used her child as a shield: "I moved to a hotel temporarily and stayed in the hotel before returning to Atlanta."

Peter asked, "Which hotel are you in? I'll meet you."

Aniston has announced her divorce from Pitt. In Jolie's eyes, Pitt has no charm at all. She said: "Do you want to bring all the reporters and paparazzi here? Let the children be quiet. They have been frightened by reporters recently..."

Peter, still remembering his love for children, responded, "Okay, I'll tell you when you get back from Atlanta."

After the phone call ended, Julie was super excited. She opened her mouth wide and pounced on him like a wolf.

Martin, an honest man, silently endured the pervert's active attacks.

It’s really not easy to integrate into the Hollywood circle!
The next day, public opinion was still bombarding the screen, and the popularity of Mr. and Mrs. Smith soared.

Martin attended the final promotional event for Jeans and met Bruce and two bodyguards selected by WMA.

The two men are called Duke and Murphy. They are in their thirties, plain-looking, with clean backgrounds. They have received professional training and are good at detecting stalkers. They are the type of bodyguards that are very popular in the Hollywood circle.

Normally, what celebrities hate most are stalkers like paparazzi and fanatical fans.

The former is not so bad, but the latter is quite scary.

When love reaches its deepest point, it will inevitably bleed!

Duke and Murphy's daily job is to follow Martin from a distance and check for any abnormalities.

Before returning to the Atlanta crew, Martin made a special trip back to his North Hollywood apartment.

Antonio, a fat man, sat under a sun umbrella on the roof, drinking a cold Coke through a straw. In front of him, a tenant was handing in his keys. When the tenant left, his walking posture was quite similar to Scott's.

Martin waited for a while until the tenant came downstairs before going over.

Antonio pushed a can of Coke to him and said, "Please enjoy it, Master."

Martin opened the Coke, took a sip, and said, "I really envy you. You enjoy life every day."

"You're not bad either. You've made it this far without using the business card I gave you." Antonio said cheerfully, pointing to the stairs. "The guy just now went to see Dr. Hyena many times, but to no avail, so he had to leave Los Angeles."

Martin knew he was talking about the anorectal doctor: "I also paid a huge price, tens of billions at least."

Antonio thought of the two women who had come to the apartment to sing and said, "Your ass didn't receive tens of billions of gifts, so you should have a drink to celebrate."

Martin picked up his Coke and clinked his glasses with Antonio's. "I'm going to have a few million dollars coming in soon, and I want to buy a house. Aren't you going to recommend one to me?"

Thomas has already reached an agreement with Coca-Cola on the endorsement fee, which is $1500 million over three years, to be paid in installments of $400 million, $500 million, and $600 million.

Real estate is a basic need for Martin. As an honorary citizen of Los Angeles, he must own a nice property in Los Angeles.

In addition, Martin also plans to buy Elena an independent house in Marietta.

Antonio is a long-time Los Angeles millionaire with a wide network of contacts. He asked, "What are your specific requirements?"

Martin elaborated: "A single-family house with a small garden in a good community, preferably with a reliable community committee and neighborhood defense league."

The security in Los Angeles is not good, and he also has the threat of Russians: "As for the location, North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, Malibu, Burbank or Brentwood are all good areas."

At this point, Martin thought of something and added, "Sherman Oaks is preferred."

Antonio wrote down all of them and said, "I will help you keep an eye out and definitely not buy a haunted house or any other problematic house. You know that this city is full of traffickers. If the house you buy has things left by traffickers, it will be very troublesome."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Martin stood up and went downstairs, saying, "I'll go get something and leave in a moment."

Downstairs, Bruce has already grabbed some crocodile tooth pendants.

Jessica was talking to him.

Martin came down, called her into the room with him, and said, "You and Emily have an important job for the next two months."

As Jessica gained more experience, she gave up her dream of becoming an actress and worked very actively: "Just give me your orders."

Martin said, "You organize the fans who frequently leave comments under the blog, divide them by city, contact the active ones in the name of the Los Angeles fan club, and find the right people to form a fan club in the local area."

Jessica understood: "I'll get started right away."

Martin added: "First in the first-tier cities with large populations."

Just like the consumers of a brand, the supporters of a star also need to be managed and cultivated. As long as the core group maintains a certain number, he will have sufficient market competitiveness. Coupled with powerful works, he will naturally gain more.

The job was quite tedious, and Jessica was already racking her brains.

Now that the person carrying the weight was found, Martin called Bruce and left the apartment.

That afternoon, he and Julie appeared at the airport at the same time.

Martin had been waiting at the security checkpoint.

With Jolie's arrival, the entire airport seemed to be in turmoil. A large number of paparazzi poured in and surrounded Jolie, taking pictures frantically.

Just like when she came, Jolie held the younger one in her right hand and held the older one in her left hand, showing her loving motherly demeanor to the media.

As for whether the child would be scared, it was not within Julie's consideration for the time being.

Afterwards, Julie met up with Martin, passed through security check, and entered the VIP channel.

Reporters took photos one after another, but did not capture any intimate or excessive actions or expressions between the two.

"Why didn't I see Pitt coming to see him off?" A reporter was curious: "Did something happen between Jolie and Pitt?"

Another person said: "These two people are at the center of the storm, how come they appear at the same time."

A paparazzi speculated: "Do you think Jolie is involved with Martin Davis?"

The reporters present shook their heads almost at the same time. One of them said, "Why did Jolie snatch Pitt's favor? Not only because Pitt is more charming, but also because of Pitt's status! The fight between Pitt and Jolie has been on the entertainment headlines every day. Jolie is popular again!"

Someone agreed: "What does Martin Davis have to compare with Pitt? He doesn't have enough status, money or identity. If Jolie is not crazy, will she choose a small star? Even if there is a relationship, it's just a one-night stand at most. What does Martin Davis have? Good looks? Big thing?"

The paparazzi said, "I always feel that Julie's brain is not normal. Something is wrong, but I can't figure it out."

The entertainment reporters no longer paid any attention to him and quickly went back to writing essays to attract attention.

Psychological habits like Julie's mostly occur in men.

Martin's advantage is that he has enough female companions.
