America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 414: Selling Assets
The next morning, Martin came downstairs rubbing his face, walked out of the hotel gate and got into the car driven by Bruce. He leaned back in the thick chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

Bruce asked just right, "You can't do it. You can't handle it with just two people."

Martin raised two fingers and emphasized, "They are two women over 30, each one more fierce than the other."

Seeing that Bruce was about to mock him again, he simply used his trump card: "When Kim and Khloe are older, both in their thirties, you can call them together and you will experience it."

Bruce, the bastard, stopped talking.

Martin's eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible: "No way, you flew with them?"

Bruce still didn't say anything. He just didn't want to pay attention to this bastard who always hit people in the face.

Martin shook his head: "Sisters."

"That's enough." Bruce changed the subject abruptly. "Ivan encouraged Jody from TMZ, and together they persuaded the victims' lawyers. All the victims who did not sign the settlement agreement doubled the compensation amount, citing the huge mental pressure and injuries they had suffered over the past year."

Martin nodded and said, "It is said that Pete has several illegitimate children outside."

Aniston will find a few.

Bruce was surprised at first, then he understood: "Jennifer Aniston said that?"

Martin nodded slightly, checked the time, and said, "Let's go to the studio and train as usual today."

Bruce thought to himself that his ex-wife was such a scary creature.

What is the best way to avoid being abused by his ex-wife? Bruce quickly thought of the answer: don't get married!
The crew had been using the code name "Dog", and after another conference call, it was officially confirmed as "John Wick: Chapter 8".

This was once the name of a Chinese movie. The American version is simple and direct, which is the name of the male protagonist, "John Wick". This is also a major feature of Hollywood movie naming, directly using the name of the protagonist as the movie name, such as Forrest Gump and Nemo.

Martin, Chad, and Louise all voted in favor of "John Wick," thinking the name was more appealing than simply naming it after the protagonist.

…………

In the Los Angeles District Court, a recent out-of-court mediation attempt once again ended in failure.

Camille, the victim's attorney, was the first to leave the mediation room.

Senior attorney Calderon, who served as the mediator, looked at Pitt and his attorney and advised: "The longer it takes, the worse it will be for you."

Attorney Blatt shook his hand and said, "We will resolve this as soon as possible."

Pitt also stood up and shook hands with Calderon, then walked out of the mediation room and toward the parking lot. Blatt followed him from behind, talking on the phone.

"Something is not right. Someone is targeting you. Hurry up and spend money to deal with these women." He hung up the phone and reminded Pete emphatically: "The law firm just called me. The lawyers' letters from Breitling and Cadillac have been delivered one after another."

Pete was very angry: "These bastards only care about their own interests and don't care about the lives of others."

Blatter sincerely suggested: "You'd better talk to them..."

The two men just entered the parking lot when suddenly a dozen women ran down from a bus, including white, black, Latina, mixed-race, etc.

They pointed at Pete and cursed: "Murderer!"

"Rapist!"

"Dirty man!"

While these people were cursing, six or seven reporters recorded it all with either video cameras or cameras.

Pete's face looked particularly ugly and he couldn't help but want to speak.

Blatt quickly pulled him aside and reminded him, "Don't say anything more, let's go."

But it was too late.

Three women holding children of varying sizes came out from behind a car and blocked Pete's way.

One of the blonde women put the girl down and pointed at Pete in front of her and said, "Call daddy, call daddy quickly, that's your daddy."

Pete was confused for a moment.

The little girl called out in a baby voice: "Daddy."

The black woman slapped the black child on the head and said, "You stupid pig, call me daddy now."

Another woman was holding a girl who was less than three years old. She looked at Pete with tears in her eyes and said, "This is your child, Pete. This is your child. Come and have a look."

Bratt pulled the confused Peter between the two cars and said, "Don't pay attention to them. Don't respond to anything. Just go ahead."

"Pete, she's your child!"

Shouting came from behind.

"Don't try to evade your father's responsibility!"

"Go after your dad!"

The oldest child actually caught up from behind.

Pete was so scared that he jumped into the car, closed the door tightly and dared not show his head out.

This move was too powerful. Facing a six or seven-year-old child, it was difficult for Pete to deal with it. As soon as Bratt got in the car, he shouted to Pete: "Whether they are real or fake, remember, they are all fake!"

Pete nodded repeatedly: "Impossible."

Blatter inevitably asked: "Did you take precautions every time?"

Pete was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "A lot of times, it's all impromptu."

"Damn it!" Blatt cursed, feeling that he might be facing the most difficult lawsuit in his career.

Pete got in the car, but the reporters wouldn't let him go.

The three mothers with children immediately became the focus.

TMZ's Jody personally stepped forward, pointed at the child and asked, "Excuse me, what are you doing?"

She asked this question to allow women to express themselves freely without restrictions.

The blonde white woman pulled the child over and cried, "This is my and Pete's child. Pete and I had sex many times. One time when I got pregnant, I believed Pete's sweet talk. In order not to implicate Pete, I took the child to Canada."

She cried and said, "It's too difficult for me as a single mother to raise a child. For the sake of the child's education and future, I can only bring the child to find the father. As long as Pitt recognizes the child, I will leave Los Angeles immediately and will not cause any trouble to them."

Jody wiped her tears and said, "You are a strong mother."

The blonde white woman even took out a keepsake from Pete: "This is what Pete gave me when I left home pregnant. It has his autograph on it."

Jody asked the assistant at the back to move forward and record it with a camera.

Even if Jennifer Aniston threw away a lot of similar things, you can always find a few if you look carefully.

The assistant took a picture of it and said, "Boss, I recognize this thing. Brad Pitt wore it when he filmed Snatch. It's exactly the same."

Right next to them, the black woman was speaking to the camera of another media reporter, describing all the details vividly.

The security guards finally arrived and managed to clear a passage for Pete's car so that they could leave quickly.

While other colleagues were still surrounding the three mothers and their so-called illegitimate child of Pete, Jodie was thinking about more distant things.

It is not uncommon in Hollywood and celebrity circles for women to come forward with their children and look for the alleged father.

Nicholson of the Badass Trio had a similar experience, and ended up settling out of court to avoid legal proceedings.

This is indeed big news, but what really attracts attention is not how many illegitimate children Pitt has, but how these illegitimate children are actually related to Pitt.

It doesn't even matter whether it's true or false.

If the legal process doesn't get to that stage, given the usual behavior of Hollywood stars, even Pitt himself might not be sure whether it's true or not.

Ivan came over with a handheld camera and asked, "Do you want to go?"

Jody came back to his senses: "What are you going to do?"

Ivan had already made plans and said, "Let's interview Pitt's ex-wife Aniston and Pitt's ex-girlfriends. I believe they will know something about whether Pitt has an illegitimate child."

Jody slapped her forehead and said, "How could I forget about Aniston and the others? Let's go! Hurry up and make sure we get there before the others."

That afternoon, the video of Aniston's interview appeared on the front page of TMZ, right next to the news about Pitt.

"I think a man should have a minimum sense of responsibility. It's not terrible to make mistakes, but he should actively face up to them and take responsibility. I don't see that in Pitt. More than a year has passed since the incident, and there are still so many victims who have not received fair and just results. They are still suffering from various injuries this year..."

As an opinion leader of MiTu, Aniston's words are quite appealing. Then she talked about the so-called illegitimate children,

She was vague: "I was married to Pete before, and a lot of things happened during that time. I tolerated a lot, including the things during the divorce. Even though he attributed all the reasons to me, I still chose to tolerate and remain silent. As for the illegitimate child, you should ask him."

It didn't explicitly say yes, but everyone who watched the news video was sure that Pitt had it.

Jolie, as another opinion leader, was also interviewed. She said in a way that fits her personality: "Why did I break up with Pitt? The reason is very simple! But no matter what happened, the children should not be hurt."

After Breitling and Cadillac announced they were suing Pitt for breach of contract and holding him accountable, the three mothers invited Camille to be their attorney and sued Pitt in the Los Angeles court, demanding various financial compensations.

The most spiritual thing is that Pitt's ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow saw the value of this movement and took the initiative to jump out and take advantage of the popularity.

"Why did I take the initiative to break up with Pete? Because I couldn't stand him. He cheated on me, abused me, and threatened me with violence."

Pepper's character is as strong as steel: "When I found out that Pete had an illegitimate child, I broke up with him immediately. I didn't want to be with him for even a second."

A new round of beating the fallen dog has begun again.

Driven by the victims and public opinion, the LAPD was forced to summon Pitt again.

Faced with overwhelming public opinion and one lawsuit after another, Pitt can only deal with the troubles that may bring criminal consequences first.

Money is the best solution.

Pete is a rich man, but being rich and having cash flow are two different concepts. Too much of his money is tied up in assets.

In order to claim the dividends from Plan B, the board of directors controlled by Aniston postponed last year's dividends to the end of the year with a reasonable excuse.

Pitt could only learn from many Hollywood predecessors and sell fixed assets to raise funds.
