America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 464 Don’t hit someone in the face

At the Los Angeles Country Club, Brad Pitt, who was drunk, met producer David Larter, who had invited him over, in a reception room.

The latter directly stated his purpose: "Pitt, I would like to invite you to star in a movie as the leading actor."

Pete brushed his long blond hair behind his head. Because it hadn't been washed for a long time, when his hands fell, they sparkled in the light.

David Larter, who was sitting opposite him, was once a senior executive at Village Roadshow Pictures and had participated in the production of The Matrix series. Pitt knew him before: "I heard that you left Village Roadshow Pictures and co-founded a film company?"

Larter said: "Shelter Films, independent production and distribution."

Peter was so miserable that he couldn't help but laugh at himself: "You just said that you wanted me to be the leading actor?"

"Of course!" Rat took out the script and handed it to Pete: "Definitely the leading actor!"

Pitt looked at the script and saw the name on it was "Titanic"!
No, there is a number 2 in the middle.

Peter was confused and asked, "Did you get the license for the sequel?"

"No need for authorization. The name Titanic is not exclusive to a certain movie." Rat introduced it roughly: "This is not a sequel to the movie. After the sinking of the Titanic, someone built the Titanic 2, which set off from the UK to North America..."

Even if Pete was down and out and drunk, he still felt it was unreliable after hearing it.

Even unreliable is not enough to describe it.

Rat values ​​Pitt's fame. Even a bad reputation is still a reputation. What's more, the film he made is quite special: "The investment in Titanic 2 reached the highest level since the establishment of the shelter, $50! The films we invested in before were all capped at $25."

Pete suddenly remembered: "Isn't this Sparta, the Transfiguration Era, and the 100 million years before history, all filmed by you?"

Rat smiled and replied, "Yes, they are all masterpieces of Shelter Films."

In Martin’s previous life, there was a saying on the Internet that the most tragic thing in the world is to spend several hours downloading a 2G movie, only to find out after opening it that it was a copycat blockbuster produced by Shelter Pictures.

Pete rubbed his face. Has he fallen to this point?

But he needed money: "What about the pay?"

Rat said, "Fifty thousand dollars."

"What?" Pete suspected he had heard it wrongly: "Are you kidding, $5?"

Rat was silent for a moment, then said, "The maximum I can give you is $10. Any more won't be enough for the production fee."

Without saying a word, Pete got up and left.

This is simply insulting to him!

The door to the reception room opened and closed again. Rat couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "You still think you're a Hollywood star? If it were any other company, they wouldn't even give you $3."

Pete, who was standing outside the door, didn't stop for a moment. He went straight out of the country club and came to the parking lot. When he saw the slightly old BMW, he stopped again.

Pete actually has some assets, but he needs money to liquidate them. The problem is that he has no cash.

Even small banks were reluctant to lend him money, seemingly convinced that he would go bankrupt.

This role pays $10.

Pitt wanted to go back, but the self-esteem of a big star that he had developed over the past twenty years would not allow him to turn back.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a suit came over and ended Pete's self-embarrassment.

He asked, "Are you Brad Pitt?"

Pete didn't recognize him: "Who are you?"

The man quickly extended his hand to shake Pete's, but his hand was covered in grease.

He took his hand back and wiped it on his pants secretly, then said, "My name is Bjorkman, I'm an agent. I heard that CAA terminated your contract?"

Don't hit someone in the face. Pete looked unhappy.

Bjorkman quickly said: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to introduce you to a job and see if we can cooperate."

Peter had just missed out on some money, so he subconsciously asked, "What job?"

Bjorkman immediately took out his business card and handed it to Pitt: "It's a big-budget movie, and you are the absolute leading actor. If you are willing to join, I guarantee that the minimum salary will not be less than 500 million US dollars, or even more!"

In the past, Pitt would not even look at such a salary, but now he was extremely tempted and asked, "Which company, which film project?"

Bjorkman said: "We are the largest and most powerful company in the Sacred Valley. You can choose the project, write the plot, or even direct and act in it yourself."

Although Brad Pitt has been sentenced to death by Hollywood, his Sacred Valley film will definitely be a huge hit once it appears on the market.

"You actually..." Peter was inexplicably angry: "You actually want me to do this kind of work!"

Bjorkman was unhappy: "This is a legally permitted, artistically fulfilling job that is popular with North American audiences!"

Pete raised his fist subconsciously.

Bjorkman raised his head and waited for his fist to land on his face. Not everyone can have such a good opportunity.

Pete endured it, got into the car, closed the door, and sat in the driver's seat without saying a word.

Bjorkman left without saying anything else. He thought they might meet again because Pete was so angry that he didn't even throw away the business card.

In the car, Pete was confused for a while, and unconsciously opened the armrest box and put the business card inside.

…………

In early October, Cartier and Martin held a grand signing ceremony at the Los Angeles Music Center, officially appointing Martin as the spokesperson for Cartier men's watches.

In front of many media cameras and fans, Martin took off the old watch on his wrist and put on a new Cartier watch. Then, he signed his name on the symbolic endorsement agreement.

There was almost crazy applause at the scene.

A dozen blonde girls with their faces painted like clowns suddenly rushed into the aisle in the middle of the viewing gallery and shouted, "Martin, I love you!"

Martin waved to them from the stage.

These girls all pulled open their red T-shirts, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white with two lines of big words written on it with red lipstick - I love Martin!
The security guard on the scene rushed over.

Martin suddenly remembered that when the Dark Knight was first released, there was a group of girls who not only danced wildly in front of his house, but also fought over garbage.

Regardless, these are his fans.

Martin shouted, "Don't embarrass them."

The girls shouted again: "Martin! Martin!"

The scene was in chaos again.

Martin had said what he needed to say, so he decided to stop talking.

Bruce rushed over and after negotiating with the security personnel, a dozen girls were asked to leave the hall.

Toni, the leader, was very excited to see Bruce: "Are you Martin's manager? I saw you fighting side by side with Martin at Burbank High School. That's so cool!"

Bruce, however, said: "A lot of people died, it's not cool at all."

Toni was stunned for a moment, then said, "Can Martin sign for us?" She pointed to her chest and said, "Sign here. I'll get a tattoo when I get back."

Bruce said, "Martin doesn't have time today, let's talk about it another day."

But Toni didn't give up: "Did you move away from Sherman Oaks? We've been there many times, but we never saw you come out."

Another girl said quickly: "We have been waiting for your garbage. We have been there many times, but we have never seen you throw out a bag of garbage."

Bruce felt that his brain couldn't keep up with these crazy girls chasing their idols, so he could only say, "Martin has a new place to live. Sorry, I have work to do, so I have to go."

After saying that, he winked at the security guard next to him.

The security personnel immediately came over to block the people, and Bruce took the opportunity to slip away.

Watching people leave, the girls could only tidy up their clothes and leave the music center.

As they walked, Aisha asked, "What should we do next? Martin has moved."

The quick-talking girl said, "Without garbage, there would be no condoms, and we would not be able to find genetic material. How would we get pregnant with Martin's child?"

This was a difficult problem, and the sisters looked worried for a moment.

Toni stopped and looked back. Seeing the huge poster of Martin, she said, "Sisters, think about it. If the Joker encountered such a problem, how would he solve it?"

Elsa thought for a while and said, "Achieve your goal at all costs?"

Toni called all the sisters over, gathered them in a circle, and said, "As long as we don't give up, we will achieve our goal one day."

Girls are more crazy than boys when chasing stars.

Others followed suit.

"We have made great progress this time, and it has attracted Martin's attention." Toni talked about what happened just now: "He also asked the security guards not to embarrass us."

Aisha smiled and said, "Martin even glanced at me."

"You're clearly looking at me, and yours isn't that big."

"it's me!"

The group was about to start a quarrel, so Toni said quickly, "I have a new idea that will definitely make Martin remember us."

Everyone else looked at Toni eagerly.

Toni gathered her thoughts and said, "The next time Martin attends a public event, we should not only put on clown makeup, but also wear wedding dresses to express our love to Martin together! Maybe he will take a fancy to one of us and go out with her..."

These blonde girls are not all beauties, but they are tall and sexy, and very seductive.

Toni emphasized: "Let me be frank with you. No matter who is lucky enough to be invited by Martin, after getting those things, they must come out and share them with other sisters!"

She looked around: "Those who betray their sisters will not have a good death!"

The others said in unison: "Yes, those who betray their sisters will not die a good death!"

Toni waved her arm and said, "Let's go find a place to buy a wedding dress. We must let Martin see how much we love him!"

At the signing event, Martin came down from the stage and went into the lounge at the back, where he shook hands with the senior executives of Cartier one by one. There were no other activities, so he prepared to say goodbye and leave.

After getting in the car, Martin asked Bruce, "Are those girls okay?"

"It's okay. Security just asked them to leave. They weren't rude." Bruce said his first impression: "They were a little fanatical. If I'm not mistaken, they were the same group of people who robbed the garbage last time."

Martin remembered and reminded Bruce: "Don't throw away your condoms casually, or you might become a father passively."

Bruce asked, "Is it really that crazy?"

Martin thought of some concerts in his past life and said, "There have been crazier ones than this."
