America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 239 Damon is coming
In the dark alley, Martin lowered his Patriots hat, as if he realized someone was following him, and hid behind a wall while walking quickly.

The camera mounted on a slide turned around.

Martin took out a dagger from his pocket, leaned against the wall, his chest heaving rapidly, and his emotions tense as a string.

The footsteps were approaching.

He moved extremely quickly, dodged and slashed at the oncoming person with a knife.

He drew his knife, turned around and ran, rushing to a busy intersection and disappearing in the crowd.

Next, Leonardo, as the pursuer, has an almost identical scene.

The two scenes will definitely be cross-edited into countless short shots in later stages.

During these days, Scorsese was keenly aware that there was some kind of subtle chemical reaction between Martin, Leonardo and Nicholson, and they often whispered to each other when they were not filming.

He immediately adjusted the shooting plan and moved the scenes where the three people interacted forward.

The effect is very obvious, and the three main actors are in surprisingly good condition.

On this day, the crew took a long break in the afternoon. Mene, who had just arrived from Los Angeles, found Martin and whispered, "Matt Damon is on the crew and may come over soon."

Martin nodded: "I understand."

Mene moved to a nearby chair and sat down: "Boss, I'll keep an eye on him."

"It's not that serious." Martin calculated the time, got up, found Nicholson, and asked, "Where's Leo?"

Nicholson pointed to a place not far away and said, "He's on the phone." This bastard had a lot of evil thoughts in his head: "It seems that someone from Victoria's Secret leaked the news about the last party to Gisele Bundchen. When he comes back later, we will encourage him to break up."

Martin was too lazy to get involved in this kind of shit: "It's no good."

Nicholson said, "Didn't you notice during our recent chats? Leo has said several times that whenever he and Gisele Bundchen have a conflict, they always have a big fight. According to my guess, Gisele Bundchen broke up with Leo because of the party that day, so she must have come to the crew to make trouble. Such a scene is rare."

He asked Martin, "Don't you want to witness the super gossip of Hollywood superstars?"

Compared to Nicholson, Martin is really a nice guy: "Then you can make a phone call and invite the other Victoria's Secret Angels to come together, that will be exciting!"

Nicholson despised: "Even a rotten person like me thinks you're rotten!"

Martin is innocent, so how can you say that you, old bastard, are the ones being polite?
Leonardo came back and looked very angry. He said as soon as he came over: "I want to dump her! I must dump her! She is 25 years old and she still quarrels with me!"

Nicholson added fuel to the fire: "She's 25, and she's already wrinkled! Why don't you get rid of her and keep her as your grandmother?"

Martin just muttered: "No woman in this world can stay young forever."

Nicholson glared at Martin, as if to say, "You turned against us at the last minute!"

How could an honest man with principles and bottom line like Martin encourage people to dump their girlfriends? He just said: "There is no shortage of young women in this world."

Leonardo put his hand on Martin's shoulder and said, "Man, I've dated more than 20 girlfriends, but I still don't see things as clearly as you do."

Nicholson asked, "Did she get mad at you?"

Leonardo nodded gently: "After scolding me, he will probably come to New York."

"Based on my decades of experience, she will definitely come. Leo, you and Martin are my brothers, and I can't watch you follow my tragic path." Nicholson looked like he was thinking of the young people: "Some women don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. If you love them a little more, they will take it for granted that they are princesses and queens. They will only ask for endlessly and never know how to give back."

All his nice words were just a prelude to the bad words that followed: "I suggest you call all those Victoria's Secret Angels over here and let the women see that Leonardo has never lacked the love of women!"

Leonardo was tempted, but soon realized it and pointed at Martin and Nicholson and said, "You two bastards, wait to see me laugh, right!"

Martin continued, "When my girlfriend and I break up, I can invite you to see it." He poked Nicholson with his arm and said, "You can do it, old bastard."

Nicholson replied seriously: "Of course!"

Leonardo pulled out a chair and sat opposite them, saying with disdain: "Two single dogs!"

Martin and Nicholson were speechless.

The two bastards have declared themselves single more than once.

On the other side, Matt Damon came out of the makeup trailer and came to the set accompanied by associate producer Taylor.

The crew was taking a break, and most people gathered in groups of three or four to chat and relax.

Matt Damon spotted the three actors with the most important roles at a glance.

Martin, Nicholson and Leonardo gathered together, and no one knew what they were talking about. Occasionally they were hugging each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Damon indicated with his eyes: "They have always had a good relationship?"

Taylor said softly, "They get along very well. Even Director Scorsese found it strange. But there have been rumors recently that they seemed to have had a party together."

Damon wanted to understand the situation as quickly as possible so as to decide on a response strategy: "How is Martin doing?"

"Very good, second only to Nicholson. Scorsese thinks he is more flexible in acting than Leonardo." Taylor belongs to Dyson Studio, the investor who supports Matt Damon, and will not mislead him: "Director Scorsese has said more than once that Martin Davis is a very correct choice."

Damon nodded gently. Taylor suggested, "Now the crew has been integrated and the filming is going very smoothly. The three main actors are willing to cooperate with each other. Scorsese is very satisfied. If you have any ideas, it's best to put them aside for the time being and focus on work."

Damon glanced at the three people laughing and joking: "Don't worry, I won't do anything rash." He reminded Taylor: "Please keep an eye on Martin Davis and Jack Nicholson for me. I have received accurate information that they want to mess with me."

Taylor was slightly surprised: "There is such a thing?"

Damon felt a bit of a headache when he thought about the conversation between Martin and Nicholson that he overheard on the day of the script meeting. What kind of bad things could this pair of bad people do?

On the other side, Nicholson said, "Asshole, Damon seems to be looking at you."

Martin was being watched by Old Bu, who didn't even turn his head. He said, "He's looking at you. You let people fart in public, how can they not want to fuck your ass?"

Nicholson grinned and said, "No one in this world can screw me."

"That's not right. I remember Naomi used a wearable one on the yacht." Leonardo was unwilling to let go of the opportunity for revenge and directly exposed the old bastard: "She used it when she was with you."

Martin moved his chair aside, away from Nicholson: "I misjudged you. You actually have this hobby."

Nicholson said dismissively: "When you are as old as I am, you will have played all the games you should have played and will actively seek excitement."

The three chatted for a while, the makeup artist came over to touch up their makeup, and the shooting started again.

In the studio, Bruce, a part-time prop master, walked through the set, checked all the props, and nodded to Martin when he came back.

Damon is about to join the filming. Although a Hollywood star of this level would never joke about his future, Bruce is still very cautious.

After entering the set, Martin was going to shoot a scene between Colin and Damon's character Ding Ganan.

The two of them were familiar with their positions and had their lines coordinated.

The crew had a problem with their slide and it wasn't ready.

Martin took the initiative and said, “Actually, I’ve always liked your movies.”

Damon didn't understand what he meant, so he followed his words and asked, "Which one?"

Martin said: "Jason Bourne, very cool." He added: "We actors are not like the CIA who fight to the death."

Damon was silent for a moment: "It's exaggerated in the movie."

Martin nodded: "Yeah, it's just work. If there is friction at work, there are always many suitable solutions."

Damon stared at Martin. "You're right. It's just a job. We may never meet again after it's over."

Martin offered his hand: "You see, we can find common ground."

Damon squeezed his hand gently: "But I still have to say this, I don't like you."

Martin said, “I’m not Franklin.”

Having said that, he didn't want to get into a meaningless tangle with Matt Damon. No matter what, he couldn't change the cast sequence of the crew.

Damon still had a blank expression on his face, and he looked like a naturally good guy.

Filming began soon, with Martin and Damon acting opposite each other.

Colin questioned Ding Genan and wanted the undercover list in his hand. Of course Ding Genan would not give it to him, and the two had a verbal conflict.

Perhaps he wanted to prove something, as soon as the script supervisor slapped the cue, Damon put in his best performance, as if he wanted to outdo Martin in the acting.

Martin has been filming with the crew for more than a week. He was in the best condition and his performance was very relaxed.

Scorsese called for a stop only after this take was completed.

He came down from the director's chair, entered the set, and said to Damon, "Back off a bit, you're using too much force."

Matt Damon nodded, turned around in circles, and muttered to himself, as if it was his own way of adjusting himself.

All departments of the crew returned to their positions and filming resumed.

But less than five seconds into the shoot, Scorsese called for a stop again, this time yelling, "Damon, back off! Do you understand? Back off!"

Damon's subsequent filming was intermittent and not smooth.

Scorsese didn't get angry, after all, Matt Damon had just joined the filming.

During a break in filming, Leonardo said, "I don't know what that bastard Martin said to Damon. He deliberately wanted to suppress Martin in the scene with his opponent."

Nicholson said: "He was mentally unbalanced and overacted, more so than you."

If someone else said this, Leonardo would have an opinion, but when Nicholson said this, he did not refute it, but continued to talk about Damon: "He wants to prove himself too much to Scorsese."

Nicholson couldn't help laughing: "Scorsese never admits he's wrong."

How can a great director be wrong? It's the actors or the screenwriter who are wrong.
