America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 322 Another 1 million

In the early morning, Martin was woken up by the buzzing sound of his cell phone. He reached for his phone and saw Leonardo's name on it. He glanced at Louise who was still sleeping soundly, then quickly got up and went to the balcony.

As soon as I pressed the connect button, I heard Leonardo's annoying voice: "Martin, come out and have fun!"

Martin looked back at the clock and said, "Are you kidding me? It's only seven o'clock."

Leonardo asked back: "Don't you always get up at 6:30 for a morning run?"

Martin said quickly, "Too many eagles yesterday afternoon and evening..."

Leonardo was confused by Martin: "I remember you didn't like golf."

Martin immediately criticized: "You are so stupid!" and reminded: "Think about what an eagle ball is."

"Hole in one!" Leonardo is a real jerk, and he understood immediately: "It's Aniston in the afternoon, who's it in the evening?"

Martin didn't answer, but asked: "Where are you going to have fun so early in the morning?"

Leonardo said: "I'm on the Oaks section of the Ring Road. Just go west from your house. Remember to ride a bicycle and be an environmentalist."

Martin was woken up and couldn't continue sleeping. He quickly washed up and took a look at yesterday's clothes. They were all in a mess because he had played too much.

Louise rolled over: "Where are you going so early?"

"Good morning, dear," Martin said. "Leo asked me to go cycling."

Louise said, "Boring, he's an environmentalist, and you're not, why are you riding a bike?" She was still half asleep and still not forgetting the hair salon: "Is it because I feel good?"

Martin went over and kissed her cheek: "I'll be back soon."

Louise lay still, "I have prepared some clothes for you in the cloakroom. There should be a mountain bike in the garage. I have only ridden it a few times since I bought it."

Martin entered the connected cloakroom and found that the cabinet that was originally used to store women's clothing and bags had been specially cleared out to store men's clothing.

There was also a note on the cabinet door: Martin Davis.

Martin took out a sports jacket and sneakers and put them on quickly. They were the sizes that suited him best.

Louise obviously took it to heart.

Martin said nothing, waved goodbye and left the bedroom.

After saying hello to the housekeeper Mary, Martin went to the garage to get his mountain bike, then rode out.

From the south slope to the seaside road, although the slope is not particularly steep, it is downhill all the way, which makes riding very enjoyable.

It made Martin regain the feeling he had as a child.

At that time, I was riding a 28-inch bicycle and rushing down the hillside. The brakes must have been broken, and I had to rely on the foot brake to slow down. Nothing happened, but the soles of my shoes were a little broken.

It wasn't long before Martin reached the coastal road.

Leonardo was waiting at the intersection.

Unexpectedly, Tobey Maguire was there too.

Martin said hello to Spider-Man and said, "Let's go quickly. There are so many reporters following us. We can't let them see the three of us standing here chatting."

Leonardo responded: "Green travel, do whatever you want."

Martin said: "If you talk about green all the time, your hair will turn green too."

Leonardo didn't understand and asked Maguire: "Toby, do you know what this means?"

Maguire shook his head.

Martin got on his mountain bike and said, “Let’s go.”

Leonardo and Maguire followed.

The three of them were not walking very fast, so they could enjoy the scenery while chatting.

The two motorcycles and two cars following behind could only move at a snail's pace.

The Departed is currently in its promotional period, and Martin and Leonardo are very cooperative with the paparazzi in taking photos.

Martin asked about something: "Isn't AA getting engaged this year? Where's the bachelor party you mentioned?"

Leonardo looked him up and down: "Are you still able to participate?"

"Do you think everyone is Leonardo?" There are paparazzi here, so Martin gives them face and doesn't mention the 11 seconds.

Leonardo said: "This year Victoria's Secret is going to hold an unprecedented show, and it takes a long time to prepare. AA's engagement will be postponed until after the Victoria's Secret show. Don't worry, I will notify you then."

He asked, "Last time I saw Heidi, she asked if you had any good ideas?"

Martin pointed to his temple and said, "I've thought about it a long time ago."

Tobey Maguire chimed in: "You wasted your holidays on them?"

Martin was somewhat familiar with him, and asked, "Anything else to do?"

Maguire suggested, "Why don't you come to Vegas and play poker with me?"

Martin said: "Leo and I also play poker, pa pa pa..."

Maguire looked at Leonardo and asked with his eyes, where did you find such a great friend?
The two are childhood friends. Leonardo understood what Maguire meant and shrugged.

Maguire said: "Real poker is still fun. I plan to develop into a professional poker player."

"That kind of poker game is still more fun." Everyone has different preferences, but Martin has always been hostile to gambling and drugs, so he doesn't have the same hobby as Maguire.

I have a vague impression that this Spider-Man seemed to have a bad time playing poker later on, fortunately he had Leonardo, his childhood friend, to pull him back.

The three of them rode less than four kilometers, found a place to have breakfast, and then turned back.

Leonardo invited: "My other film, Blood Diamond, will be released soon. You must come to the premiere." Martin certainly would not be absent: "Don't worry, I will definitely go. If Dibis sends assassins to deal with you, I promise to knock them all down with Coke."

"Blood Diamond" was released around Christmas. The Debes Diamond Company was worried that it would affect the public's enthusiasm for purchasing diamond products, and it released news more than once, claiming that the diamond business consortium would jointly boycott it.

But Leonardo and distributor Warner Bros. simply ignored them.

Martin and Leonardo agreed to wash their faces in the evening, then turned at the intersection and rode back to Sherman Oaks.

As pleasurable as it is going downhill, it is also as painful at this moment.

Although the slope is not steep, who likes riding uphill?

Martin wondered whether he should call Bruce and ask him to drive over, but then he remembered that he had gone to see the Kardashian sisters last night, so it would be better not to disturb him.

In this regard, he felt that he was much more qualified than Leonardo.

There is a reason why the trio can only be ranked last.

It has nothing to do with age, the main thing is that the quality is too high.

Suddenly, a horn sounded from behind.

Martin stopped the car and turned around, and saw a red BMW parked behind him.

Elizabeth Olsen got out of the driver's seat and called out, "Hey, Martin, are you working out? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"Okay." Martin got out of the car, pushed it over, adjusted the angle, stuffed most of the car into the trunk, then turned back and got on the passenger seat.

Elizabeth started the car and drove up the southern slope.

Martin said, "First time I've seen you drive."

Elizabeth said, "I will be 18 next year, don't you know?"

Martin thought about it and said calmly, "When is your 18th birthday? I can prepare a birthday present for you in advance."

Elizabeth said: "Next February, you don't need to prepare any gifts. Your presence is the best gift."

Martin said: "Remember to send me an invitation then."

Elizabeth was very happy: "No problem."

This was the person who gave her a second life, and it would be especially memorable if she could attend her 18th birthday party.

She said one thing: "I changed my agent and now I am also a client of WMA like you."

Martin said: "WMA has gained another great customer."

Elizabeth was young, but she could tell the difference clearly: "Because I have two good sisters."

"That's because you are good enough." Martin read Forbes magazine a few days ago, which called the Olsen sisters human money printing machines.

When the car reached the south slope, Elizabeth asked, "Are you going to Louise's place?"

Martin nodded: "I'll just get off here, and I'll contact you later."

Elizabeth waited for him to take down the bicycle and waved: "Wait for my call."

The BMW drove into the Olsen mansion, and Martin rode his mountain bike back to Louise's home not far away.

Louise was too exhausted last night and hasn't gotten up yet.

Martin cleaned up quickly and lay back down to catch up on his sleep. The handlebars of a bicycle were not as comfortable as holding something else.

At the same time, photos of Martin and Leonardo riding together have appeared on the TMZ website.

The Internet is also changing the gossip entertainment industry.

"The Departed" is in its third weekend of release in North America. Thanks to excellent media and audience reputation, the film's box office performance is extremely stable.

Although it gave up the top spot in the North American box office, it still closed at 1755 million US dollars.

Including the earnings on weekdays, the North American box office broke through the $1 million mark, totaling $1.18 million.

After The Hills Have Eyes and Wanted, Martin achieved the feat of starring in three consecutive films that grossed over 100 million dollars at the North American box office.

Even if this is a movie with two or even three protagonists, Martin's salary for the next film will definitely exceed tens of millions of dollars.

This week, The Departed was also released in more markets around the world, with the overseas markets increasing to more than 40, and overseas box office revenue exceeding US$6000 million.

It is not a luxury to recover all investment through box office.

Warner Bros. is also stepping up its public relations for the film's Oscar journey, as the Oscars bring huge bonuses to television rights and DVDs.

Scorsese's gangster films already make the most of their revenue from offline sources, and if they are also blessed with an Oscar-worthy award, they will make a ton of money.

The four members of the main creative team got together again.

Even Martin was drunk this time.

After getting drunk, Scorsese hugged the street lamp in the yard of Leonardo's mansion and shouted that his wife insisted on having a seventh child.

Nicholson is going to meet Naomi Campbell tonight to get back at what happened on the yacht.

Leonardo, contrary to his usual behavior, fell into sadness and cried, saying that the love of his life was Gisele Bundchen, but it was a pity that he could not give up so many good girls for her.

Martin shouted that he would march into Washington, capture the White House, and dissolve the federation.

The four lunatics made a fuss for most of the night before they finally calmed down.

Fortunately, Leonardo's mansion in Brentwood is large enough that even if there is a big fight, it will not affect the neighbors.

The next day at noon, Scorsese woke up and saw the lamppost that was polished to a shine. He issued a gag order to the other three people: "No one is allowed to tell anyone. If I hear any rumors outside, you can expect the Mafia to come and kill me!"
