America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 278 Live Action Poster
The sky brightened outside the window, and Martin opened his eyes. Things were scattered all over the floor of the room, and there was the sound of water coming from the bathroom. Someone was taking a shower.

He really didn't expect that the progress would be so astonishingly fast.

I thought it would take a few more pulls.

As a result, Aniston couldn't wait to take him upstairs.

But on second thought, aren't women of Aniston's age practical?

Martin sat up with his hands. He had spent most of the night lying down, but now he felt full of energy.

Just as I was about to enter the bathroom, the door opened.

Aniston came out, and last night she had fully proved that an actress in her thirties can act cute, handle maturity, and be unparalleled in charm.

At this moment, she changed into the style of a queen who was training a little puppy, sitting on the sofa with her legs swung, and asked Martin: "I have a question that you haven't answered me yet."

Martin said innocently: "No? You know everything about me."

Aniston crossed her legs and switched up and down as if instinctively: "Tell me the truth, have you ever done anything bad to Rachel's poster?"

Martin looked like he had a hard time speaking: "This... is hard to say."

"Hurry up and tell me!" Aniston was like a wolf and a tiger. How could she let the little puppy go like this? "Tell me, I'll give you a reward."

Martin, a very cooperative person, covered his face with his hands and said, "It's too embarrassing to say it out loud. How about I demonstrate it?"

Aniston tilted her head: "Sure, a demonstration is more intuitive."

Martin was very embarrassed and looked at Aniston meaningfully: "There is no poster of Rachel here. I can't find the feeling and can't demonstrate it!"

Aniston held up the face of America's No. 1 sweetheart and asked, "Rachel's poster is here. How about this one? Does it give you a feeling?"

No matter how beautifully made a paper poster is, how can it be as useful as a real-life poster?
This is the story of an atypical "male fan" and his goddess.

Just when the two were extremely busy, the cell phone that Martin threw in the living room of the suite lit up again, and Julie's number appeared on it.

After a while, the call was automatically hung up because no one answered.

There were up to 10 missed calls displayed on the screen!
In another room on the same floor, Julie felt so upset that she wanted to cry. She put away her phone and cursed, "Fuck! Martin, you bastard, why didn't you answer the damn phone!"

Being so close to her, but only being able to think but not see or hear, was almost killing her.

Julie was helpless and started imagining again: Martin and Aniston, that couple, didn't leave the room all night, what were they doing?

Meanwhile, in a mansion in Beverly Hills.

Brad Pitt, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, opened a bottle of whiskey and poured it directly into his mouth.

He didn't stop until he started burping.

Alcohol can make people forget many troubles.

He sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. The entertainment channel that appeared was broadcasting the news.

"Last night, Brad Pitt had another manic episode. He kicked someone's car and smashed his own phone!"

Accompanying the voiceover, the news played a video of the parking lot last night, where there were obviously paparazzi taking pictures.

"Since breaking up with Jolie, this Hollywood star has become an alcoholic and has lost control of his emotions many times. Many people in the industry speculate that he may have psychological and mental problems and suffer from mania..."

Peter took another swig of his drink and raised his middle finger to the TV: "Fuck!"

The doorbell of the mansion rang at this time. Pete stood up, wandered over, pressed the intercom, and it was his manager who came over.

He opened the door and waited for a moment before the manager entered the living room.

"Why are you here so early?" Pete asked.

The manager checked the time, went to get two glasses, took the wine from Pete, and only poured a quarter of the wine into each glass. He said, "The lawyer couldn't get through to you on the phone, so he found me."

Pete asked, "What happened again?"

The manager handed the newspaper to Pete and pointed to the picture on it: "The car you kicked last night was not ours. The owner called the police and may be required to pay compensation."

"Fuck!" Pete felt unlucky. Nothing he did was going well. "You just want compensation? Give it to him!"

The manager nodded and reminded: "Don't show up in front of the media recently. Those paparazzi and entertainment reporters will not let you go. Your condition..."

Pitt's heart was broken by Jolie and Aniston, and he waved his hand: "I don't want to deal with the outside world these days. If you have any news, tell me. As before, focus on Aniston."

"Okay." The manager then said goodbye and left.

Peter calmed down for a moment, picked up the wine and started drinking again, and called the housekeeping company: "Where is my housekeeping service worker? Ask her to come over immediately!"

A broken heart needs to be healed.

…………

Near noon, Aniston collapsed on the sofa, dazed.

Martin came out of the bathroom, dressed quickly, came over and patted her face gently: "Honey, I asked for lunch and put it on the dining table."

Aniston was extremely satisfied with the little puppy in every aspect. She raised her head and asked, "Won't you eat with me?"

Martin said softly, "Ali Emmanuel asked me out for lunch at noon, and I can't break it."

Aniston knew who Ali was, so she didn't bother Martin and said, "You go ahead. I'll take a break and go home directly."

Martin kissed her forehead and left the suite.

Before they reached the elevator, the door of a nearby suite suddenly opened and Julie stood at the door. She smiled at Martin and asked, "Why didn't you answer my call?"

Martin made up an excuse: "My phone was on silent mode, so I didn't hear it."

Julie pointed to the door with her eyes: "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

Martin spoke very firmly: "I have something important to do, so I won't go in. We can talk later."

Julie nodded, but she didn't intend to let Martin go: "I'll go to the Coty community and wait for you to come home."

"Whatever you want." Martin was a man of principle.

Julie went back to her room and closed the door.

Martin took the elevator downstairs, met up with Bruce, and went to Century City to meet Ari Emmanuel.

Bruce got in the car and gave Martin a newspaper: "Pete is not in a good place."

Martin saw it: "It was filmed last night? Did you do it?"

Bruce shrugged. "I was worried that our journalist friends had no money to pay rent or buy food, so I called them. Sacrificing Pete alone can help many people live a good life. It's worth it."

He added: "Jody also specifically reminded the car owner that he could get a high amount of compensation from Pete."

Martin praised: "Old Bull, those entertainment reporters should give you a big medal with the words Friend of Journalism engraved on it!"

Bruce thought of the golden avocado Sofia gave to Martin: "It has to be pure gold, I won't accept ordinary ones!" He then asked: "Did you keep the gift you asked me to give?"

Martin said: "Leave it to Aniston."

Bruce asked, "Okay?"

"Aniston is a billionaire in every sense of the word." Martin knew very well: "No matter how expensive the gift is, she may not take it seriously. It is better to give her something memorable."

He emphasized: "That was the prey I killed with my own hands."

Bruce raised his middle finger directly at the co-pilot. There are no telling how many crocodiles and buffaloes in Australia are crying out for justice.

…………

Hotel Marmont, floor where the luxury suites are located.

After Aniston finished her lunch alone and cleaned up, she found a gift Martin had left for her on the coffee table in the living room.

I opened the mahogany box and found two gifts in total, which were not expensive.

One is a fang pendant.

The other piece is a cow horn carving that is more than 20 centimeters long.

The sculpture is based on Martin himself, a clown with a big head and hands standing side by side. From the face to the hair to the clothes, every part is carved very delicately, forming an uneven pattern on the surface.

Aniston grabbed the clown sculpture's leg and picked it up, but she always felt something was wrong.

There was a note under the gift box.

"Last night I suddenly thought of giving you a special commemorative gift. The raw materials of these two things all come from the saltwater crocodiles and bison that I hunted personally when I was working in Australia. They are not valuable, but they are very special to me. I hope you like them."

Aniston has no shortage of money or expensive things.

This seemingly simple gift made her feel that the little puppy was particularly thoughtful and did not carry any unpleasant smell of money.

Aniston found her phone and sent Martin a text message: "I really like your gift."

After sending the text message, she couldn't help but wonder whether she should send Martin a return gift?
Seeing that the gift Martin gave was special, Aniston felt that the gift she gave to Martin should not have too much of a money flavor.

Martin probably wouldn't like that.

Thinking about these chores, Aniston picked up her bag and left the room.

…………

On the same day, after meeting with Ari Emanuel, Martin signed a new agency contract with WMA, reducing the agency commission from 10% to 8%.

This is also the first among WMA's clients born in the 80s.

Natalie Portman, who is directly under Ali's jurisdiction and has starred in the "Star Wars Prequel Trilogy", has not enjoyed such treatment.

The signing went very smoothly, and after it was done Martin followed Thomas to his office.

Thomas asked directly: "Some tabloids are hyping up the scandal between you and Aniston today. What's going on?"

Martin said: "I was with Aniston last night, the tabloids don't care about them."

Thomas was very cooperative: "How do we make this happen?"

"It's not the right time now, so don't respond." Martin said half-seriously, "I'm just adding a layer of insurance for the film. It's not easy for a film to be successful, so we have to use all the favorable factors."

In fact, he is no different from Pitt, and he also uses women to get to the top.

Thomas understood that Martin was not only trying to pick up girls, but was also creating publicity for "Limitless".

After all, movies are a commodity that relies too much on publicity and marketing.

A film that has guaranteed quality and creates a marketing hit will often perform well.
