America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 452 Inspiring Creativity

Hearing the sirens and seeing the lights getting closer, Cassie prepared to leave. Just as she stood up and was about to run, someone hugged her.

The young man held Cassie's legs tightly with both hands, using all his strength. It was unclear whether it was because of excessive force or the pain from the beating, but the expression on his face was distorted.

But he said he would never let go!
In the eyes of young people, Casey Affleck at this moment is a walking million dollar!

"Let me go, bastard!" Cassie kicked the young man in the face again.

The young man's nose was crooked, but he held his hands tighter.

Then, Cassie discovered something. The young man who was sitting on the bench and seemed to be looking at the scenery stood up at some point and was filming this side with a home DV.

Two men got out of the patrol car and ran over here, their hands on the holsters at their waists, shouting, "LAPD, let me see your hands!"

The young man lay on the ground, shouting weakly: "Help, help!"

One LAPD officer covered the back while another LAPD officer stepped forward to control Cassie, twisted his hands behind his back, and handcuffed him.

After checking on the young man's condition, the LAPD called an ambulance.

During the routine on-site questioning, a tourist who was filming the sea view showed them a video of the incident.

From beginning to end, the victim was beaten unilaterally.

Although there weren’t many tourists in this area, there were still more than 20 people nearby, and the LAPD also found more witnesses.

On the other side, Lorraine was secretly filming and captured the ambulance taking away the victim and Cassie being taken into a police car by the LAPD before leaving.

The Ford car near the pier also started and left the dock area.

Nicholson made a phone call and laughed heartily after hanging up: "Lorraine filmed the whole thing and has already contacted TMZ. She doesn't need to come to me for her pocket money this month."

Leonardo also joined in the fun and asked, "I see that the man was seriously injured. As a good person who is enthusiastic about public welfare, I think it is necessary to provide him with legal assistance."

Martin gave the two of them a thumbs up and said, "Cassie will definitely thank you a thousand times in her heart."

Nicholson smiled with two rows of white teeth: "We are such good people!"

Martin said: "Let's find a place to drink and celebrate."

Leonardo increased the speed of the car.

Since it involved a Hollywood star, the LAPD took the case very seriously and handled it efficiently. Cassie, who was temporarily detained, soon met with a lawyer.

The lawyer brought some not-so-good news. Ian, who was beaten unilaterally by Cassie, had a broken nose, two fractured ribs, and more than a dozen other skin and flesh injuries.

Cassie's lawyer was no ordinary man either. He then contacted an acquaintance in the police and tried to find a way to make it work.

The police said there was nothing they could do and told him to check TMZ.

TMZ just released the news, and the video of Cassie beating the victim was shot from other angles, which was very clear from beginning to end.

Meanwhile, the victim's lawyer came to the police station.

Things can no longer be resolved quietly.

After contacting many parties and the victim's lawyer, Cassie's lawyer found her and suggested that she pay the money to settle the dispute as soon as possible.

This kind of thing, the longer it takes, the more trouble it will cause.

Inside the hospital ward, the victim Ian was on an IV drip, his nose was crooked to one side, his face was covered with bruises, and he was in severe pain all over his body.

But Ian kept laughing, and he was laughing very happily, even more happily than he had in more than 20 years.

"It's awesome!" There were LAPD personnel outside the ward taking statements. Ian could only lower his voice and excitedly mutter to himself, "It's so fucking awesome. I'm going to be rich this time!"

He twisted the bed sheet into a knot and calculated secretly: "Medical expenses, lost wages, and mental compensation will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars!"

Ian thought of the lawyer's words: "Yes, I was beaten so badly that I became depressed and my job will become a problem in the future. He must pay more money!"

This deal is really a bargain.

He was right, that was a walking million dollar man.

…………

Casey Affleck is still being held in the police station, waiting for bail to be raised.

Martin, Leonardo and Nicholson were waiting for Lorraine in Nicholson's mansion.

The latter seemed to have made a good profit and generously bought midnight snacks for the three of them.

Tonight's midnight snack tasted especially good, with the flavor of a big, white, sweet melon.

But before Martin finished eating, his cell phone rang with a text message alert. He took out his phone and took a look. The text message contained only a row of numbers.

After thinking about it for a while, Martin remembered that this was the room number of Taylor Swift's hotel in Los Angeles.

Taylor Swift was clearly reminding him.

Martin is a man who values ​​brotherhood. He ignored the text message and continued to have dinner and brag with Leonardo and Nicholson.

Not long after, Taylor Swift called directly.

Martin went to a deserted place to answer the phone: "Good evening, Taylor, what's up?" Taylor said directly: "Martin, I need your help. I suddenly got some inspiration for writing a song just now, but the inspiration is not enough. Can you come over and give me more inspiration? It's urgent!"

Martin could not go against his own principles, so he said, "Wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, he said to Leonardo and Nicholson: "It's urgent. I have to leave first."

Nicholson watched a good show today and was very interested: "Regarding Ben, if you have any new ideas, remember to tell me."

Martin waved his hand: "No problem."

The Nicholson family's home was not far from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Not long after, Martin drove into the hotel's underground parking lot and took the elevator to the floor where Taylor was staying.

Martin knocked on the door, and Taylor opened it and pulled Martin in.

"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you to inspire me for a long time."

"What can I do to inspire you?" Martin was pressed against the door by Taylor. He asked, "Do you want me to sing a song? Scare the wolves to death?"

Taylor said: "When people soar into the sky, their minds will be empty and they will enter a whole new realm. As long as you send me up to the clouds, I will definitely burst into inspiration."

Martin has a strong sense of mission: "I am willing to give everything to add another timeless classic to country music!"

The two then began to study advanced artistic topics such as chicken inspiration and music creation.

During this period, Taylor's inspiration continued to burst out, changing various tones and rhythms, and singing a song intermittently.

When inspiration ran low, Taylor used the F-word.

When inspiration hit him, Taylor praised God in his high-pitched voice.

At this time, people are at the peak of excitement and may really feel something different.

So, after Taylor fell from the cloud, he immediately picked up a pen and a notebook and wrote some notes that Martin couldn't understand at all.

Seeing that she was really having a burst of creative inspiration, Martin did not disturb her and went to the bathroom to take a shower alone.

When he came out, Taylor was sitting on the floor, leaning against the side of the sofa, with his hands around his long legs, staring blankly.

Martin sat on the armchair and just looked at her.

It may be because Taylor has only been in the industry for a short time and has been less influenced by the habits of the entertainment industry. Martin thinks that the country girl with her ramen-like hair is much more beautiful than the pop queen who once debuted in the countryside.

Taylor came to his senses, stood up and walked back and forth in the living room without putting on his clothes, writing and drawing in a notebook from time to time.

After a long while, she asked Martin, "I heard that one of your ex-girlfriends was a famous cheerleader?"

Martin knew who she was asking about: "Blake Lively, the cheerleader at Burbank High School."

"Oh, I've seen 'Summer of Jeans' and I remember what she looked like." Taylor said as they walked, "She has a great figure. Even ordinary supermodels can't compare to her."

She looked down at herself: "Compared to her, I look like a country girl."

Martin smiled and said, "Everyone has their own strengths, and you are no exception."

Taylor asked, "Me? What are my strengths in your eyes?"

"The voice is melodious and the long legs are strong and vigorous." Martin has always been honest and said his true feelings: "There is also a special attraction that seems to be able to suck people's souls away."

Taylor laughed happily and said, "I wrote a verse. Can I sing it for you?"

Martin saw that he was going to become the legendary male protagonist of Taylor's song, and he also laughed: "Okay."

Taylor went to get his guitar and asked, "Can you help me with the beat later?"

Martin shook his head firmly: "I know nothing about music."

Taylor didn't force it, instead picking up the pick and gently plucking the strings, and a lively tune played.

There was no arrangement, no formal planning, Taylor's voice just flowed freely.

"You said you found a beautiful girl. What would you do when facing this beautiful girl? What should I do? She is wearing a short skirt and I am wearing a T-shirt. She is the cheerleader and I can only stand in the stands..."

The song suddenly stopped, and Taylor smiled sheepishly: "I have only written these for now, and the rest needs to be added slowly."

Martin praised: "It's very beautiful and catchy. I believe that once this song is completed, it will definitely enter the Billboard charts."

Taylor was very confident about the music: "Definitely." She paused and then said: "This is a song featuring the famous Hollywood star Martin Davis. It will definitely become a classic."

A playboy like Martin doesn't care about that at all: "Taylor, I saw a genius and witnessed how a genius creates songs. You opened my eyes."

"What kind of eye-opener?" Taylor asked deliberately, "The Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman kind?"

Martin laughed. "That's about right."

Taylor came over and jumped on Martin: "I'm going to take a shower."

Martin carried her to the bathroom and said, "In order to hear the complete version of the song as soon as possible, I want you to have more creative inspiration."

Taylor responded: "If you work hard enough these days, I promise you'll be able to hear the full song soon."
