America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 491 The Child Has a Good Father

When he came to London for promotion, the British media dug up all of Martin's past love history, from Elisha Cuthbert to Anne Hathaway, from Blake Lively to Elizabeth Olsen, and of course several official girlfriends.

Rumor has it that Jolie and Aniston could not escape the clutches of Fleet Street either.

Even Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet, who are currently divorcing, were blamed on Martin by the British media.

It is also said that the so-called Holy Maidens of the Coca Cola Cult are the mistresses of the cult leader Martin Davis.

As for Taylor, Alexandra Daddario, and several Victoria's Secret supermodels who have been rumored to be involved in affairs, the media certainly does not believe the claim that they are just friends with Martin.

There are many kinds of friends. For example, some friends will satisfy each other's physical needs or have sex for courtesy.

Martin doesn't care about the reports; he is not married and has no plans to get married.

There was not much commotion in the outside world, as reports about Martin being a playboy had been going on for more than a year or two.

"Without a bunch of rumored girlfriends, would I be ashamed to be called the asshole trio with Leo and Jack?"

At the London premiere of the film, Martin faced Kate Winslet who came to cheer him on and said confidently: "It's normal for men and women to have needs for each other, isn't it?"

Many women spend more money than men.

Walking in the corridor leading to the screening room, Kate agreed: "Yes, there is a mutual need."

Martin said, "Don't worry, I never thought about it that way."

The two entered the theater, and when Martin passed the third row, Saoirse Ronan popped up.

The fifteen-year-old girl had grown a lot taller and asked Martin, "Teacher, can we talk to each other for a few minutes?"

Kate automatically went to the front, and Martin held the seat and asked, "What's the matter?"

Saoirse said: "I received an audition invitation from Peter Jackson, who is the producer and director of a film based on the novel The Lovely Bones, and the role is the heroine."

Martin had a vague impression and said, "Peter Jackson's project should be reliable."

Saoirse asked, "I went to Los Angeles for the audition?"

Martin won’t make decisions for others: “You have to be interested.”

Saoirse nodded repeatedly: "I understand."

Martin thought that this girl was very troublesome, so he reminded her, "I heard that Peter Jackson is very strict and has a bad temper. If you go to his crew, don't make trouble and be calm."

"I never caused any trouble," Saoirse said defensively. "I just like taking some pictures."

Martin thought, who was responsible for Emma Watson's "diaper scandal"? He said, "Don't offend people randomly, understand?"

Saoirse blinked and said, "Teacher, I am fifteen years old now. I am not the little girl I used to be."

Martin nodded to her and prepared to go to the first row.

Saoirse added: "When you are free, I will treat you to a meal."

Martin had been working hard every night these days, and thought it would be nice to take some time off, so he said, "Tomorrow night, then."

Saoirse said: "I'll take you to taste British cuisine."

Hearing this, Martin immediately regretted it.

"John Wick" also caused a strong response in the UK. After the premiere, it received rave reviews from British audiences. Coupled with the popularity brought by Martin, the attendance rate also remained high.

There were also paparazzi who secretly took photos of Kate Winslet entering the crew's hotel, and rumors about her and Martin having an affair were flying around.

But Martin and Kate ignored them all.

After Saoirse invited Martin to a French restaurant to taste London cuisine, "John Wick" spent its first weekend in British theaters, grossing 528 million pounds in 567 theaters.

At the same time, the film was released simultaneously in European markets such as France, Germany and Italy, and each had first-week revenue of around $500 million.

The film rating still has an impact on the market.

In North America, John Wick still dominates the film market, with a relatively stable box office trend. It dropped just over 50% in the second weekend, earning $2774 million.

Including the revenue from the previous four working days, the North American box office successfully exceeded 1.08 million US dollars, totaling million US dollars.

Warner Bros. estimates that John Wick: Chapter 1.9 will gross between $2.1 million and $ million in North America.

The sequel was naturally put on the agenda, and the first part was also left blank.

Martin and the main creators of the crew started their international publicity tour from Europe to the east.

However, Ukraine and Russia skipped right over it.

There's nothing I can do. I'm always guilty.

Martin didn't want to go to Moscow. What if he encountered an accident, such as a car accident or a plane crash, it would be useless to call on God.

After being away from Britain and the United States, Martin can finally take a good vacation.

But when they arrived in South Korea, Hollywood's backyard, the Koreans entertained them with great enthusiasm. A Korean film company affiliated with a certain group wanted to learn Hollywood's advanced shooting and production methods, and also wanted to let its male and female stars enter Hollywood to gild their reputation.

The Korean entertainment industry has always been very sincere and persuasive in this regard, and sent a nine-member girl group to persuade Martin. As we all know, Korea is far ahead of Hollywood in this regard. No matter how powerful the girl group is, it is just a tool in the hands of the agency, without exception.

Poor Martin had to end his vacation and agree to accept the Korean investment.

Marcus' oral biography, Lone Survivor, has been completed and will be released soon, followed by the film adaptation.

Martin does not plan to star in this film. After all, it is a group drama and it is difficult to say what the return will be. The Koreans' investment can be used for filming and production.

Even if the film loses money, his Davis Film Studio will make money.

In addition, Martin feels that the baseball company has a very good eye for selecting girl groups. Regardless of whether they have been artificially sculpted or not, the big places are big and the small places are small, which is in line with the aesthetic taste of normal people. They are not the kind of girls with busty breasts.

Compared to Korean entertainment agencies, Hollywood actors are in heaven.

Inside the Olsen family mansion in Sherman Oaks.

Mary Olsen put down the newspaper in her hand and looked at her younger sister: "Liz, Martin is very popular now."

Elizabeth was feeding the dog, and turned around and said, "John Wick is a big hit, with over 100 million at the North American box office. It's normal that it's so popular."

Ashley Olsen said: "Recently the entertainment media has been hyping up gossip about him."

Mary reminded: "He's a super playboy."

"Don't worry." Elizabeth smiled and said, "I am the mistress of his house, not anyone else. As long as I don't give up, I will always be the mistress of Davis Manor."

Ashley was slightly stunned. From some aspects, this was indeed true.

But Mary was worried about her little sister: "He is close friends with Leonardo and Nicholson. These two..."

Elizabeth is not as innocent as she looks. She said, "I am not Gisele Bundchen." She continued to tease the dog: "No matter how far he goes, he always comes back home."

"I don't mean to interfere with your private life. Just keep it in mind." Mary didn't say anything more about this: "When Martin comes back, invite him to your home."

Elizabeth was quite confident: "He will come."

Ashley said, "We haven't watched John Wick yet. Let's go watch the movie together? Let's support Elizabeth's boyfriend at the box office."

Mary packed up her things and said, "We haven't had a group activity for a long time. Let's go."

Elizabeth followed her two sisters to a nearby cinema.

In the middle of the game, she called Lily Carter and asked her to come over to play with her.

…………

Burbank, Toni came out of the movie theater again, holding her slightly swollen belly with both hands.

Carefully avoiding the crowd, she bought a Los Angeles Times and got into her car.

Toni watched "John Wick" for the third time. Thinking of Martin's heroic appearance on the screen, she gently touched her belly and said intoxicatedly: "So cool, so handsome, he is worthy of being the father of my child!"

A sports car passed by, and the roar of the engine interrupted Toni's daydream.

She came to herself, opened the newly bought newspaper, and went straight to the entertainment page, which contained the latest box office rankings and box office statistics.

The long string of numbers behind John Wick made Toni dizzy. She could only count in the simplest way and finally determined that the number was over 100 million.

This movie starring Martin has grossed over 1 million US dollars in North America alone!

Toni laughed, wondering how much money Martin would get. It was said that he invested in the film, so a conservative estimate would be $2000 million, right?

This is still a movie!
Toni knew that the more outstanding Martin was, the more secure her child's future would be, and the happier she would be as a mother.

Start the car and go back to the apartment I rent in Burbank.

On the way, Toni saw many people wearing red Coke T-shirts or with clown paint on their faces, and she felt that they were weak.

A true fan should dare to have children for the star they admire!
Toni parked her car in a roadside parking space, entered her apartment and prepared to go home. In order to take care of her pregnancy and prepare for the future, she rented an apartment in a good location at a high price.

After entering the apartment and waiting for the elevator, someone behind her also entered the elevator. Toni found that the person looked familiar and couldn't help but take a second look.

This man had very long, oily hair, a dense beard, and a long, expressionless face, as if he had facial paralysis.

Toni recognized him and asked tentatively, "Ben Affleck?"

Da Ben had just moved in after selling his previous house, and he said casually, "That's right."

Toni thought about the rumors and subconsciously took a few steps outside.

Da Ben was a little angry, but having learned from his previous lesson, he did nothing. He waited for the elevator to come down and went straight into it.

Toni stood there without moving, waiting for the next elevator to come down before going upstairs.
