America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 537 Billions of Dollars in Business

In the morning, Bruce took a newly bought set of women's casual clothes and brought it to the door of Martin's suite. When he was about to knock on the door, the door diagonally opposite suddenly opened.

Mene came out, his almost pale face full of energy, like a handsome young man of twenty years old.

Bruce wondered, "When did this guy come back?"

Mene just laughed but didn't say anything.

Because a woman's pleasant voice came from the door: "Wait for me, let's have breakfast together. We'll come back after breakfast. How did you train your tongue? It's so flexible that it can even tie a knot in the hair. I've experienced so many, but this is the first time I've seen it."

Bruce looked at Mene in shock. Has he reached this level? Isn't this too much?
A middle-aged woman in her forties came out from the door.

Anyone familiar with European movies will be able to recognize her at a glance - Sophie Marceau!

Bruce secretly gave Mene a thumbs up.

"Are you Bruce, Martin Davis' bodyguard?" Sophie Marceau had seen the video of the Santa Monica Pier incident, recognized Bruce, and invited him, "Where's Martin? Let's play together later."

Bruce knew that Martin had no interest in her, so he said, "Martin has something urgent to do and is about to go out."

Although Sophie Marceau felt regretful, she thought Menet was really outstanding. She took Menet's arm and said, "Let's go to the restaurant."

Mene smiled and said, "Old Bu, let's go have breakfast."

Sophie Marceau said as they walked: "Don't eat spicy food for breakfast. You are so skilled that you don't need those things."

Mene said seriously: "I am a pure technical person."

Sophie Marceau liked it: "Help me tie a knot later and I'll take a photo to commemorate it."

This actress, who has exposed herself several times on the red carpet, is considered very open-minded even among the French.

After the two of them turned into the elevator, Bruce knocked on Martin's door and sent the lady in casual clothes.

Ten minutes later, Martin and Léa Seydoux came out of the room and went to the restaurant for breakfast.

Léa Seydoux also saw Sophie Marceau and said, "She is here."

Martin said: "The man next to her is called Mene, my old friend. He has a special magic that always attracts the attention of older ladies."

Leia nodded gently: "I know him, Huppert's lover. I heard that he has a very good appearance and skills, and is especially popular with older ladies. It is true."

Martin asked: "Is Mené already so famous in France?"

"It's been spread among actresses for a long time." Perhaps it was the romanticism of French women that struck, and Leia was seriously considering: "When you have time later, take me to meet Mene. I want to introduce him to my mother."

Martin's fork missed the target and landed on the disk with a ding. He couldn't help asking, "Are you serious?"

Leia said: "Of course I am serious. My parents divorced a long time ago, and my mother has never been happy in that aspect..."

Martin said vaguely: "Let's talk about it later."

After breakfast, Bruce got in the car and took Martin and Leah to District 7, where her mother had an empty apartment and the video was hidden in a hidden safe in the apartment.

Although Léa Seydoux didn't say it explicitly, Martin knew without a doubt that she had made multiple copies.

The public security in Paris is not very good, especially the notorious 93rd department, which is known as the land abandoned by the French.

But like the traditional wealthy areas of District 7 and District 16, the public security is relatively good. Although no one lives in Leia's mother's apartment, it has not been visited by thieves.

Leia took down a picture frame and opened the secret door on the wall, revealing the safe inside.

Martin and Bruce had already gone to the balcony.

The latter asked: "Will she go down in person?"

Martin looked back and said, "She's not crazy yet. I promise that when the situation is unclear, I will only find a chance to release a recording to TMZ or other media."

Bruce said, "Where's the video?"

Martin said: "She won't give it to us for the time being, but she told me that when the post-production of "Inglourious Basterds" was completed this year, she paid special attention to Harvey and knew that Harvey might harass another actress, a French-American actress who also hated Harvey, so she provided the actress with a hidden camera, and Harvey did go to find that person later."

Bruce has heard a lot of rumors about Harvey: "With Harvey's style, if it's not forced, I will be very shocked and surprised."

"This may be a special habit developed by the boss. It's boring to be submissive." Martin also made a random guess and continued the previous topic: "Leya can be sure that the actress took the video that night, but she left Los Angeles afterwards. The video is very likely in her hands."

Bruce asked, "Who is she? Where does she live? I'll send someone to look for her."

Martin tilted his head back: "I don't know yet. If I want to know this information, I may have to pay a lot today."

"You should work harder." Bruce patted Martin on the shoulder and encouraged him: "I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to get it smoothly if you pay several billion."

He suggested: "Why don't I go down later and stay here."

Martin said, "Let's go back to the hotel room. There won't be any accidents there."

Bruce thought that since Léa Seydoux could secretly film Harvey, she might install something here to film Martin.

“It’s hard for us alone,” he cautioned.

Martin said: "A while ago, Saoirse Ronan called me and mentioned a project that might involve Harvey and Warner, and I asked Thomas to find out."

Rhea's voice came over: "We found it." Martin and Bruce returned to the living room together.

Leia held a USB drive in her hand and handed it to Martin.

Bruce turned on the laptop he brought with him, asked Martin to plug in the USB drive, and clicked play.

First there was an audio clip of Harvey Weinstein threatening someone. The audio did not mention Léa Seydoux's name, but it clearly expressed his intention to force her.

There is also a video that has obviously been edited, with only Harvey appearing in the video. His vicious appearance is no less vicious than the one that the 93 provinces are planning to implement.

Leia said: "I'm really not being pretentious. Look, which normal woman wouldn't vomit if she were with him?"

Martin suddenly thought of Joanna Chapman. She has been very busy with work over the past year, and the bet she made with Leonardo and Nicholson will expire at the end of the year.

As long as he persists, he will be able to win!

Martin had heard the old fox Angela Lindwall talk about Joanna several times on the phone. After he introduced them to each other, the two of them, along with Carolina, often hung out together.

Leia added: "These are all I have for now. The rest are not in Paris. I will bring them back when I have time and give them to you."

Martin asked Bruce to pack up his things and said, "Come on, take me around Paris."

“No problem,” said Leia.

The two first went to see some of the most famous attractions in Paris, and then went to the Champs Elysees for shopping.

After Martin became rich, he was never a stingy person and spent more than 100,000 euros in one afternoon.

Back at the hotel in the evening, Martin put all his energy into negotiating a big deal involving tens of billions with Léa Seydoux.

After Léa Seydoux swallowed billions of dollars, her hatred for Weinstein went even further, and she gave the name, address and contact information of the French-American actor without hesitation.

Martin forwarded it to Bruce immediately and asked him to take action as soon as possible.

Bruce contacted Ivan, who was on vacation in Long Beach. After receiving the news, he immediately rushed to San Diego.

In addition, Martin communicated with Léa Seydoux, and Léa Seydoux agreed to come forward and accuse Harvey when necessary.

Of course, she was the one who took advantage of the situation, not the one who blew the trumpet.

In fact, everyone in the industry understands that the first few people who stood up to accuse Harvey were tantamount to cutting off their own path as actors.

So, Martin never expected to make a breakthrough with star-level actors.

But once the gap is opened, people like Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep, who once had the closest relationship with Harvey Weinstein, will also be the ones who step on Harvey the hardest.

The next morning, Léa Seydoux left the hotel early and Martin returned to the crew to continue filming the remaining scenes in Paris.

After two days of continuous filming, he had his last scene with the crew.

Nolan deliberately placed the highlight of the ending at the very end of the filming.

On the set, Martin took the box handed to him by Nolan himself, and when he opened it, he found the metal gyroscope inside.

Nolan pointed to the table on the other side and said, "Let it spin for a while. I'll use the ending you mentioned when I think about it."

Martin was building up his emotions: "No problem."

Nolan returned to the director's seat, thought for a moment, and felt that Martin's commercial appeal should not be wasted, so he turned his head away.

Assistant Anderson immediately ran over: "Director?"

Nolan said: "Recording the behind-the-scenes footage, before shooting the last scene, Director Nolan accepted Martin's suggestion and decided to use an open ending."

Anderson quickly took note and asked, "Has the protagonist Cobb returned to reality?"

This question gave Nolan another inspiration. He continued: "In any version of the promotion, don't give an answer. Let the audience guess and let the publicity staff create topics about it."

The ending is deliberately mysterious, not for any profound theme or intention, but simply for publicity purposes.

Nolan even thought further. If this movie is successful, he can drag out this ending to create a topic when promoting The Dark Knight Rises in the future!
The script supervisor then came to the camera and clapped the cue, and the filming of the scene where Cobb returns officially began.

After completing several scenes in a row successfully, it was time for the spinning top segment.

Martin had practiced this in private, and the top fell from his hand and kept spinning on it like an obedient woman.

Without waiting for the spinning top to stop, director Nolan shouted, "Stop, this one is over."

Then he announced the closing of the film.

After all the scenes for "Inception" were filmed, Martin got the spinning top as a souvenir.

The crew held a party in the evening and then went their separate ways.

Menet stayed in Paris, ready to work with Huppert.

Martin first went to Milan to visit Elizabeth who was attending Milan Fashion Week there, and then returned to Los Angeles.
