America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 311 The Girl Who Wants Firecrackers
In the studio set that was decorated as a prison restaurant, Martin walked forward with his coat draped over his arm. His seemingly calm face showed the vicissitudes of decades, and he seemed introverted and autistic.

One can tell at first glance that this is an old man with a lot on his mind.

Not far away, the gray-haired Kate was sitting at the table. Her old face had changed so much that one could only vaguely recognize her as Kate Winslet.

She quietly watched the boy she once knew getting closer and closer, her eyes flashing with embarrassment and a look of inferiority.

Hannah's ups and downs of life, all gathered on the aging face.

Their eyes met, as if they had spanned decades of time.

Martin nodded slightly, pulled out a chair, and sat across from Kate.

Their eyes met, Kate nervously stretched out her hand and moved forward little by little...

Martin took her hand.

"Stop! This one is over." Sam Mendes did not leave the director's seat, and shouted: "Kate, change your position and shoot again with your back to the restaurant entrance."

All departments of the crew returned to their positions, and Martin returned to the restaurant entrance to continue shooting this shot.

This morning we were filming the prison scenes.

At noon, Martin went to the restaurant with Bruce to eat.

More and more film crews are moving into Pinewood Studios, even "Jason Bourne" starring Matt Damon is here.

Similarly, the restaurant is crowded at mealtime.

The more people there are, the more conflicts there are.

When Martin went in, he found Emma Watson and two girls confronting Saoirse Ronan, and they seemed to have a verbal conflict.

He vaguely heard words like Irish bitch.

It might be Saoirse's agent or family who quickly pulled her away and took the initiative to give in.

Emma Watson, like a victorious peacock, walked to the food pick-up area with a proud look on her face.

Martin and Bruce took their trays and went to get their meals.

There are a lot of people, a little crowded.

When Bruce was taking the corn, he was pushed by someone on the side and accidentally touched Emma Watson's arm.

He turned around and said, "I'm sorry."

Emma Watson just got angry with Saoirse Ronan, and she was in the process of discovering her star temper. Seeing a strange face, dressed in ordinary clothes, and with an American accent, she curled her lips: "Rude American bumpkin, be careful."

Bruce frowned. As someone who had fought the British with mortar shells, he had no good feelings towards the British.

Martin was right next to him, and when he heard it, he immediately turned around: “Hey, Emma, ​​watch your words.”

Emma had seen Martin at the premiere last year, shrugged, joined her two followers, and turned away.

Bruce said, "Forget it, let's not bother with the kids."

The two picked out their food, took their plates, found an empty table and sat down to eat.

Bruce said: "It feels like she's been spoiled."

Martin said: "Now her commercial value is high and she can generate huge profits. Not only does the entire crew and the audience love her, but even Warner Bros. loves her..."

Not far away, on another table.

Emma Watson was as proud as a child who was spoiled by countless people. She was sticking corn on her fork and was in a bad mood: "That Irish girl is a bitch, and those two American rednecks are not good people either..."

The attendant Carly asked, "How about we deal with those two bastards?"

Emma Watson has a bad temper, but she is not stupid: "Why bother with those country bumpkins? It damages my style." She looked at another follower: "Cheryl, you pay attention to that Saoirse, find a chance to tear her mouth apart!"

Cheryl is eating.

Carly slammed the table at her: "Didn't you hear what Emma said?"

Cheryl quickly swallowed it and said, "I heard it, I heard it."

After lunch, Martin was about to go back to the trailer to rest. When he passed by the studio, he found Kate sitting alone facing the door, reading the script and thinking about her role.

Kate also saw Martin and waved at him: "Come and chat with me for a while."

Martin entered the studio, pulled out a chair and sat opposite her.

Bruce grabbed a bottle of water and leaned against the inside of the doorway to drink.

Martin and Kate chatted for a while and discussed the scenes they were filming.

Kate threw herself into the role.

Although I don’t think of myself as a character in my daily life, I still make great efforts.

She said: “Michelle and Hannah’s reunion has a lot to say, but neither of them knows how to say it.”

"Michelle is quiet and reserved, especially after middle age." Martin sat comfortably on a chair with his back to the studio door, gesturing and saying, "When we meet again, our communication will be more about eye contact and expression, and less words will be used."

Kate nodded: "Hannah needs to maintain her humble dignity..."

Suddenly, she stopped and said, "Someone is peeping!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bruce rushed out of the studio door.

Martin also stood up and saw Bruce grabbing a girl's sleeve and pulling her into the studio.

"I... I didn't do anything!" Saoirse Ronan raised her hands above her head, with a digital camera hanging around her neck, and said to Martin: "I just took a sneak peek."

Although they were wearing makeup, she could recognize them.

Martin asked, "What are you doing here?" Saoirse quickly said, "I had nothing to do after lunch, so I wandered around and happened to come here. I thought you might be here, so I came to see you."

"Just come to me directly, there's no need to peep." Considering the last time, Martin felt that this girl might have a slight voyeurism.

He pointed at the camera and said, "You're taking secret photos again. What are you taking photos of?"

Saoirse shook her head repeatedly: "No, I just came here and was discovered as soon as I showed my head." She muttered to herself: "It's not suitable during the day, it's better at night, it's not easy to be discovered in the dark."

Kate interrupted and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Martin pointed at the girl and introduced her: "Saoirse Ronan from Atonement. Is she a British or Irish actor?"

Saoirse replied: "I am Irish, but I am developing in the UK."

She turned her burning gaze to Kate: "Ma'am, can I take a picture with you?"

Kate smiled and nodded for Martin's sake: "Of course."

Saoirse took off the camera and handed it to Martin, then ran over to stand next to Kate.

Martin first looked at the photos that had been taken in the camera, and there were indeed no photos of this side.

But he saw a photo of Emma Watson, with the background near a toilet, and from the angle it was obviously a candid photo.

This girl is a voyeur and a photographer. There are so many things she can learn at such a young age. She might really be beaten to death one day.

Martin was too lazy to bother with it, so he raised his camera and said, "Ready, 1, 2, 3..."

The sound of camera shutters rang out continuously as he took several pictures in one breath.

Saoirse was very excited and took Kate's hand and said, "You are the actor I admire most. I will definitely be like you when I grow up!"

Kate smiled and encouraged: "You will succeed."

Saoirse suddenly appeared, and Martin and Kate stopped discussing their scenes and left the studio to go back to the trailer to rest.

Martin walked out not far when he found Saoirse still following him and asked, "Aren't you going back?"

Saoirse asked curiously, "I heard that Bell was injured and hospitalized?" She quickly explained, "I didn't tell anyone about what happened that day."

Martin nodded: "I was right about you, you are a good girl."

Saoirse didn't just wander over here randomly, but had a purpose. She asked tentatively, "Do you still have the firecrackers that were set off in the woods?"

Martin turned his head and looked at her: "What do you want to do?"

Saoirse kept her mouth shut and lowered her head, but she rolled her eyes and tried to look up. Seeing that Martin was as kind as ever, she said, "There are a few bad guys in the Harry Potter crew who are older than me. They always like to bully others by relying on their status as stars. They have laughed at me more than once just because I am Irish."

Martin understood: "Your presence in the pine forest that day was no accident."

Saoirse realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly covered her mouth.

Martin suddenly remembered what happened at noon, had a vague guess, and winked at Bruce.

Old Bu went to the trailer and brought back a box.

Martin took the box and handed it to Saoirse: "Don't use it carelessly and don't put it in front of people."

Saoirse took it, opened it and took one out. She found that it was only the length of her little finger, much smaller than the one she saw that day. She said, "It's a little small."

"The big ones are used up, and the small ones are also hidden by Leonardo." Martin warned: "Don't tell others, let Leonardo know, he will silence it."

When Saoirse thought of Leonardo's evil words and deeds that day, she opened her mouth in shock at first, then covered it and kept nodding at Martin.

Martin waved his hand: "Let's go."

"Thank you, Martin." Saoirse bowed slightly to Martin: "You are a good person."

She ran away holding the box.

Martin asked Bruce, "Have you tried the power of that thing?"

"Very small." Bruce had someone do it specifically: "If a 10-year-old child's hand exploded, it would at most hurt for a while, just like fireworks on a film set, it's OK to scare people."

Martin said no more and returned to the trailer to rest his eyes.

In the afternoon, the crew started filming as normal, and Martin moved to the church area of ​​the set, where a temporary cemetery was built for filming.

One of them belongs to the heroine Hannah.

In addition to its own commercial attributes, the main purpose of this film is to help Kate win an Oscar, so her role is naturally going to be a tragic figure.

As someone who has worked in a concentration camp, a death ending is a must.

Martin and Felicity Jones, who plays his daughter, walked along the path beside the church towards the cemetery together.

The latter is about the same age as Martin, but in temperament and demeanor, he looks more than 20 years younger than Martin.

This is also one of the few outdoor scenes shot by the crew.

Director Sam shouted after it was passed.

The two stood in the cemetery built on the set. Felicity glanced at Martin and said, "If I hadn't known in advance, I wouldn't have believed you were only 25 years old."

Martin shrugged off the role and said, "Maybe I've been through a lot."

Felicity thought for a moment and said, "After talking to you just now, I had a feeling that you are like my father."

Martin laughed and said, "I hope my daughter will be as beautiful as you in the future."

Hearing this, Felicity laughed happily.

Not far away, Kate saw that the situation was not good and immediately came over.
