America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 337 Hero among women
The Beverly Hills mansion that Harvey Weinstein bought when he got married last year is brightly lit tonight.

The hostess Georgina Chapman stood in the villa's foyer early to welcome the distinguished guests.

Martin arrived a little late because he attended an event in the afternoon.

He walked into the hallway, shook hands with Georgina, handed her a gift, looked at her briefly, and praised: "The dress is beautiful, and the person is even more beautiful. It is a masterpiece of art by the muse."

Georgina smiled and said, "No wonder Kate always mentions your strengths and speaks so nicely."

Martin asked deliberately: "Didn't Kate mention another great advantage of mine?"

Georgina asked just in time, "Can I know?"

Martin said: "Honest and reliable."

It sounded like he was bragging, but Georgina combined it with what she said before and could tell that Martin was praising her beauty. He said, "If I were to start a men's clothing brand, I would definitely hire you as the spokesperson."

Martin struck while the iron was hot: "Georgina, it's a deal."

Georgina discovered that Martin was nothing like what her husband Harvey said, but was closer to what Kate described, clearly an interesting guy.

She looked behind Martin and pretended to be disappointed: "Julie and Aniston didn't come with you?"

Martin nodded: "My charm is limited and I can't impress those two ladies."

"It's okay." Georgina still smiled: "Let's make an appointment again if there is a chance."

“No problem,” Martin said.

The two chatted for a while and soon parted.

Martin entered the lobby of the mansion and looked around. All the people there were famous male and female stars in the circle.

Among them, the number of female stars is several times that of male stars.

Meryl Streep came over automatically and asked: "I heard from Jack that what action are you planning?"

Nicholson hadn't said it, so Martin certainly wouldn't tell her: "Secret operation."

Meryl thought of the last time at the mortar, and it was a rare opportunity to relax and have fun, so she asked, "Is it as fun as the one at Pinewood Studios? Take me with you?"

"I'm afraid not." Martin was mainly worried that Meryl, who was in her fifties, would feel inferior when facing a group of supermodels in their twenties.

Compared with traditional European female models, Victoria's Secret models are relatively more muscular.

Meryl snorted coldly: "It seems that you don't consider me as your own."

How dare Martin treat her as his own? Meryl slept with Nicholson and Weinstein, and is said to have close relationships with many directors. She is a typical female Aquaman.

Which man dares to believe in the female sea king?
Meryl turned around and was about to leave when a blonde woman came over from behind with a glass of red wine. She turned her head away and talked to someone beside her. It seemed that the two were about to collide with each other.

Martin was quick-witted and grabbed Meryl and dragged her over here.

The blonde woman seemed frightened and walked past him. Her arms shook and the red wine in the glass spilled out.

Meryl glanced at Martin and nodded slightly: "Thank you."

She then looked at the woman.

The blonde woman's facial features are as hard as rock, and she is very recognizable in Hollywood, Cate Blanchett.

Blanchett looked innocent: "Sorry, I didn't see you."

The waiter came over with a towel to wipe the red wine off the floor.

Meryl is not as friendly as her public image. As an actress from the 1960s and 1970s, she still has many marks of that era. She stepped forward and cursed: "Bitch! Don't think that I can't tell you are doing it on purpose by using this method!"

Blanchett saw that the other party was so simple and rude, so she put away the innocence on her face and said, "I really didn't see you, an old woman."

Someone has already gone to inform the owner, Georgina.

Blanchett was relatively polite. She stopped entangled with Meryl and turned away.

Meryl looked around.

Martin hid nearby and quietly extended a finger from an angle that only Meryl could see.

Someone put a glass of red wine on the long table over there.

Meryl's liking for Martin increased greatly. Now was not the time to talk. She walked to the table in two steps, picked up the wine glass and caught up with Blanchett.

"Be careful……"

I don't know who reminded Blanchett.

Blanchett turned around, and before she knew what was happening, red wine splashed in her face.

The golden hair, delicate makeup, and off-white dress were all wet with wine.

Blanchett was stunned.

Meryl said viciously, "Bitch, what other tricks do you have? Just use them. I'll fight you to the end!"

The onlookers gathered around at this time.

Who would want to miss such a good show?

The circle is full of struggles, especially among actresses. The competition is so fierce. It is not only about who has better acting skills and who dares to take off clothes and sleep with others, but also about who is more scheming and even more cruel.

Amid the hurried footsteps, Georgina rushed over and stopped Meryl and Blanchett between them to prevent the situation from getting worse. Kate Winslet also rushed over and found Martin nearby. She looked at him and saw Martin shook his head slightly, so she helped Georgina to restore the atmosphere.

Georgina accompanied Blanchett to another room nearby.

The waiter quickly cleaned up the remaining traces.

Kate said a few words, and the atmosphere in the hall recovered somewhat.

Meryl was about to leave early, and before leaving she found Martin and said, "Thank you."

Martin was very direct: "You're welcome. I'm a close friend of that old bastard Jack."

Meryl nodded, said nothing more, and left.

Kate slowly came to the other side, pulled out a chair and sat down, and said, "You've been here all this time?"

Martin nodded: "Not because of tonight."

Kate was filming The Reader at Pinewood Studios at the time and knew something about it: “A continuation of the last time?”

"Blanchette fell pretty hard that time, causing a tear in her Bell's sponge. She was in bed for two weeks. She probably wanted to take revenge this time. I saw her bringing some red wine..." Martin briefly recounted it.

Kate smiled helplessly: "I guess Blanchett didn't expect Meryl to turn hostile immediately and embarrass her on the spot."

Martin thought about it and realized that Meryl had slept with Oscar-winning actor and best director, Oscar-winning producer, and had a harmonious family that was envied by everyone in America, and she could also settle scores with pleasure.

He couldn't help but say, "What a heroine."

Kate slapped her forehead and said, "You and Leo are really good at causing trouble."

Martin was innocent: "As a younger brother, I have no say and can only follow the big brother and the second brother."

Kate didn't believe him.

After chatting for a while, Georgina returned to the hall and saw Kate at Martin's place, so she came over and sat at the small round table.

Kate asked, "Where are the people?"

Georgina replied: "I changed my clothes and left early."

Martin glanced at the door and said, "They won't meet outside, will they?"

"As long as they leave my house, they can tear each other apart as much as they want." Georgina was a little annoyed: "I don't care if they stab each other."

Kate pointed at Martin and said to Georgina, "Honey, you should thank him. If he hadn't helped Meryl and let Blanchett pour the wine on Meryl, with Meryl's hot temper, you wouldn't have been able to end this night."

Georgina rubbed her forehead and said, "It's a blessing in disguise." She waved to the waiter, who brought three glasses of wine and offered a glass to Martin. "Anyway, you helped me prevent a bigger farce in time. Thank you."

Martin clinked glasses with her: "You're welcome."

Kate comforted Georgina: "It's not your problem. The two of them had conflicts when they were filming at Pinewood Studios. Don't bring them to the same place in the future."

Georgina drank the wine and put down the glass: "I know."

On the other side, someone waved to Kate, and Kate said, "You guys chat first, I'll be back soon."

"As you wish." Martin looked at Georgina and asked, "It's just a small matter. Similar things happen from time to time in the circle of fighting for fame and fortune."

"Is this also the reason for the conflict between you and Harvey?" Georgina was always curious.

Martin heard from Kate that Georgina had some feelings for Harvey, but she was more of a marriage maker for Harvey's network of connections.

How difficult is it for a new fashion brand that wants to go high-end to gain ground? With Harvey, the difficulty is reduced exponentially.

But Martin still used cautious words: "Harvey invited me to star in a movie, but my schedule was not suitable, so I had to decline his invitation. Maybe, how should I put it..."

Georgina knew Harvey and continued, "He is quite assertive at work and doesn't like being rejected."

Martin smiled helplessly: "Indeed."

Seeing that Georgina showed no signs of abnormality, he probed further: "It was also my bad luck. A project invested by Harvey used an Australian actor named Heath Ledger. He was driving after taking drugs and almost hit me and Aniston."

Georgina nodded slightly: "I know about this, but what Kate said is completely different from what Harvey said."

Martin immediately asked, "Would you like to hear my client's story again?"

"Of course!" said Georgina.

Martin described the incident verbatim, and finally said: "Because of this incident, the crew's filming was delayed for a while. Harvey may have blamed me, but Aniston and I were almost killed by that guy."

Compared to Harvey's statement, Georgina believed what she saw with her own eyes more. She had known Martin for a long time and often heard about it from her best friend Kate.

It is very obvious that Harvey has a prejudice against Martin because of something, and his statement is too subjective.

The two had a good chat, and Martin even mentioned Briony: "They are interested in inviting me to be the spokesperson. I don't know much about the clothing industry. You are an expert in this field. Can you give me some professional advice?"

This kind of professional demand made Georgina feel that she had a place to use her skills, and she said seriously: "If the endorsement fee is right, I suggest you continue. Brioni is a high-end brand, and it will also add to your image..."

Martin listened carefully, as if Georgina's advice had worked. He said, "Thank you. What you said is very helpful to me."

Kate came back and said, "Some people might be leaving."

Georgina stood up and prepared to see them off, saying, "After all this commotion tonight, Blanchett and Streep might reject my brand."

She sighed: "It's a pity that Harvey has no influence in the fashion and modeling circles."
