America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 245 Time Management Master
Martin expressed his admiration for Jones, a true artist, and even had a drink with him.

Art is a kind of belief that can make people transcend the world.

Bruce poked Martin from behind and reminded him, "Jennifer Aniston, in front of you on the left."

Martin turned around and saw Aniston chatting with a woman. He asked, "Why is she here?"

Bruce said softly: "Aniston is from Los Angeles. She was born in Sherman Oaks. Later, her parents divorced and moved to New York. But after she became famous, her mother returned to Sherman Oaks."

Martin said, "You understand that very well."

"I thought you would need it." Bruce said innocently, "So I looked into Aniston's profile."

Martin responded, "You are a very qualified manager." He held out his hand: "Pen and notebook."

Bruce opened the bag he was carrying and took out a pen and autograph book.

Martin often carries these eating utensils with him.

While the person was gone, Martin simply went over and when they met, he said the classic line: "Excuse me."

Aniston turned around and saw the person coming. She recognized who it was after just a quick look.

Although the two had never really met, they both knew who the other was.

Aniston smiled and said, "Hello, Martin."

"Hello, Rachel." Martin handed over a pen and a notebook. "It's a bit presumptuous, but since 1994, you have been my favorite female star. Not only an idol, but also my goddess."

Aniston took the pen and notebook from Martin, signed them solemnly, and asked curiously, "Do you live in the Coty community?"

Martin nodded: "I moved here at the end of June." He didn't know Aniston well, so he tried to find a topic based on their common careers: "Besides Friends, do you have any new works recently? I'll definitely go and support them."

Aniston handed the pen and notebook to Martin: "A movie was supposed to be shot, but it was delayed due to some unexpected events."

Martin understood what she meant by the emergency and did not dwell on the topic: "Friends ended too quickly. I really hope that we can shoot it forever so that I can still see you on the screen when I am old."

"There will always be a day to say goodbye." Aniston's words were tinged with her own emotions.

Martin took the initiative to talk: "In fact, we can shoot a reunion of the six members every year. I believe the audience will like to watch it."

Aniston was slightly stunned and said, "That's a good idea. I will propose it to the production company."

Martin Snake said: "Leave me your contact information so I can keep you updated on the latest developments."

Aniston gave Martin her own personal business card.

Martin also gave her his business card.

Aniston watched Martin walk away and suddenly remembered something. In April and May, many tabloids hyped up the scandal between Martin and Jolie.

But Pitt has divorced her for Jolie.

Aniston shook her head, not wanting to think about these bad people and bad things.

Harold from the community committee pulled someone over and introduced him to Martin: "This is Kane, the owner of the Angel Shooting Club."

Standing in front of Martin was a man with neatly combed hair. He offered Martin a toast and invited him, "I heard that Mr. Davis is very interested in shooting?"

Martin clinked glasses with him, took a sip of wine, and said, "I grew up in the slums of Atlanta. As far as I can remember, there has been constant gunfire. If we want to protect ourselves and our families, the only choice is to pick up a gun."

Kane took the initiative to hand over a membership card: "Angel Club will provide the most complete service."

Martin took a look and saw that it was a one-month pistol shooting experience card. He took it and asked, "Is the club in Sherman Oaks?"

Harold continued, "It's on the beach, very close to the community. The community's annual shooting competition is held at the Angel Club. Next month is the annual shooting competition day."

Martin deliberately said: "Can I make an appointment for the champion in advance?"

Kane said: "I am also a member of the community and will attend the game."

Harold added: "Kane once served in Afghanistan. Many soldiers who are back on leave often go to the Angels Club. Martin, you will definitely gain something if you practice shooting there."

Martin smiled and said, "I'll definitely go over and take a look as soon as possible."

The shooting range in North Hollywood is limited in size and a bit far away, so Martin doesn't mind changing to another one.

The wine tasting lasted until the evening, when Martin and Bruce left.

On the way back, I met Jones and Jenna, father and daughter, again.

Jenna deliberately fell behind a few steps and said to Martin alone: ​​"I heard about you from Kaiden."

Martin was confused at first, then he remembered who Kayden she was talking about: "I filmed Zombie Gigolo with Jenna, and I met many artists through her."

Jenna was very pleased with the latter title. She took out a business card and secretly put it into Martin's hand: "If you organize a party and need a large number of young and beautiful girls, you can find me."

Martin understood that she was trying to attract customers.

Hollywood is not completely isolated from the Sacred Valley, and even some political bigwigs would go to the actresses in the Sacred Valley.

If nothing else, the technology is absolutely amazing.

Jenna didn't finish her words: "Even young female models, I can get in touch with them."

Martin didn't respond, but just nodded slightly.

There are many similar people and companies in Los Angeles, and the competition seems to be fierce.

When Martin got home, he checked the time and called Atlanta. He talked to Elena for a while and then asked Elena to give the phone to Lily. "What do you want to see her for?" Elena asked directly.

Martin said, "Regarding the university, I asked an art expert to look at Lily's sculptures. He thought Lily had great talent."

Since it concerns her sister's future, Elena stops talking and calls Lily.

In the Northville community, Lily listened to Martin's story and said, "California Institute of the Arts, right? I also want to apply to a university in Los Angeles next year, but my social practice is not good enough..."

Martin said, "I'll ask someone to write a recommendation letter for you." He reminded her, "Practice more. I'll mail you another batch of horns later. It will be your 17th birthday present in advance."

Lily's face almost flattened. How could she give someone homework as a birthday gift? She was afraid that Martin would change his mind, so she didn't dare to show it. She said in a low voice, "Okay, mail more."

"Okay, that's it." Martin hung up the phone.

Lily heard the busy tone and was so angry that her chest swelled. She muttered, "I'll carve your clown into a more evil one later!"

Elena then asked, “Are you sure you want to apply to a university in Los Angeles?”

Lily nodded: "OK."

Elena said, "Actually, local universities in Georgia or Ivy League schools are all good. With Martin's relationship with Coca-Cola, it will be easy to find a suitable internship opportunity for you."

Lily said, "I want to go to Los Angeles."

Elena stared at her, her hands slowly curling into fists.

Lily raised her hand, punched herself, and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

Elena said nothing.

Lily punched herself again and said, "You can punch yourself five times a year until you graduate from high school, until you are satisfied."

Elena waved her hand: "It's your own future, you have the freedom to choose."

Lily stepped forward, hugged Elena, and muttered, "We are a family!"

Elena had to look up slightly to meet Lily's eyes and truly realize that Lily was already taller than her.

Lily put her phone away and went back to her room.

When she went upstairs, Hall, who lived downstairs, suddenly popped his head out of his room and said, "The family she was talking about, besides my sister and I, there must be that idiot Martin."

Elena stared at him fiercely: “Go back and do your homework. If your grades don’t improve, I will hire a tutor for you.”

Hall asked, "Governess?"

Elena was still the same Elena. She picked up the baseball next to her and threw it out. Hall quickly lowered his head and the ball flew past his scalp.

When Hall reappeared, he found his other sister, Lily, standing at the corner of the stairs, staring at him, holding an oak baseball bat in her hand.

My younger brother has no human rights!

Hall could only return to his room and deal with his homework. Compared with setting traps to harm others, studying was too difficult.

…………

In the Coty community, Martin hung up the phone and called Blake Lively based on the time.

She couldn't agree on the price for the movie script and it would take some time.

Many new screenwriters tend to have a high opinion of themselves and want to become famous overnight and sell their works for a high price.

This idea is not wrong. Every script is the child of the screenwriter.

However, the status of screenwriters in the industry is indeed worrying, and producers all want to exploit screenwriters to the point where they cannot take care of themselves.

The phone call lasted for more than an hour before Martin hung up. Just as he was about to take a shower, Julie called again from Africa and talked about some lofty topics such as democracy, freedom and saving children.

Half an hour flies by.

Martin suddenly realized that he was unknowingly developing into a master of time management.

Fortunately, this thief Julie has some mental problems, and I think she will be fine soon after she comes back.

Martin put down his phone and looked back. Bruce was sitting on the sofa reading a book seriously.

Very good, there is one more person carrying the weight, Old Bu.

Martin came out of the shower and found Bruce still reading.

"So absorbed?" Martin asked curiously, "Alan's novel is very interesting? Can you understand it?"

Bruce said, "I'm your manager, and this is my job."

Normally, a manager's biggest responsibility is to help clients choose projects and roles.

But Martin's situation is special, and he never asks Old Bull for help in this regard.

Bruce is more of a bodyguard and scavenger.

Martin was very exhausted today and was about to go upstairs to sleep. He said to Bruce, "Watch it carefully. Tell me the story and your thoughts after you finish reading it."

"You have to wait two days." Bruce closed the book and went to the auxiliary building: "My reading level is worse than yours."

“I can read books and scripts, even though my writing makes no sense,” Martin said.
