America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 539 Bundling
At night, in Sherman Oaks, in a mansion on the south hillside.

Louise stood alone behind the bar, shaking the cocktail shaker in her hand quickly and slamming it on the wooden bar.

The sound woke up a pair of wild mandarin ducks.

Martin turned his head and said, "Hey, honey, so resentful?"

Kelly Gray, who was squatting down against the bar, supported Martin and steady himself, saying, "I was just elected to the Georgia State Assembly. Can't you congratulate me?"

Louise unscrewed the cocktail shaker, poured three cocktails, and said, "His girlfriend's twin sisters live next door. I'm afraid they will come to my door."

"That's perfect." Maybe she has become more ruthless and bolder after joining the political circle, Kelly leaned on Martin and said, "We can let them join in."

Martin was a serious man. He flicked her forehead and said, "Don't be so careless."

Kelly picked up the glass and fed Martin a drink: "I apologize, is that okay?" She asked: "How are you going to congratulate me?"

Martin had already thought about it and said, "Let's communicate well tonight."

Kelly was stunned, thinking that there was no point in communicating to congratulate someone.

Louise understood, and laughed cheerfully, saying, "She doesn't need it. Just communicate with me."

"You guys..." Kelly understood: "Then don't waste your time. Without good communication, there is no emotional release!"

The villa became lively.

After celebrating for Kelly, the three of them sat side by side on high chairs, drinking and chatting together.

"It's been a while since we've been together like this." Louise poured wine for the other two. "In the first two years after you came to Los Angeles, the three of us often got together."

“I come here quite often now,” Martin said.

"Much less." Louise said faintly, "I actually miss the past."

Kelly pinched her gently and said, "It means you're old."

"You are old!" Louise pinched back with one hand and tore Kelly's mouth with the other hand: "You are the old woman!"

Kelly was not to be outdone, so she exerted force under her hands, and the two of them fell to the carpet with a plop, and at the same time she shouted, "Martin, come and help me."

Martin took out his cell phone, called up the camera interface, and pressed the shooting button: "Use some strength. How can you catch it without strength? Kelly, you are at a disadvantage. Grab the hair. Grab Louise's hair quickly! Damn it, I told you to grab the hair on top!"

The two men let go of each other's hands tacitly, grabbed Martin at the same time, and dragged him onto the carpet.

The noisy sounds gradually grew louder, and seemed to make the ceiling tremble.

After a long time, Kelly and Louise each pulled one of Martin's arms and rested their heads on it.

Seeing that the two of them were having a great time, and that it was the best time for them to resonate with him, Martin got down to business: "Was Senator Erica elected as a senator?"

This female politician who held up the pink kettle back then is a representative figure of the Georgia Donkey Party.

Kelly half-jokingly said: "It's not easy. The kettle back then laid an excellent foundation for her."

"I want to get Harvey Weinstein," Martin said directly. "I remember he was also on the Donkey Party side."

Kelly frowned: "Why?"

Martin has been suspicious: "I think the last shooting incident of Nolan's crew was related to Harvey's gang. The real target was me, but I always paid attention to the gun problem, so the unlucky one became the British guy..."

He said: "How can we be so cautious every day? If we neglect it, I will be finished. When I am finished, Davis Studio will be finished too."

Louise propped herself up. "You mean, if all your projects fail, the two of us won't be able to make money from you, right?"

Martin would not overestimate the value of communication: "Just tell me, how is my vision in selecting films and programs?"

Kelly and Louise stopped talking. They had been investing in the movies chosen by Martin. Not only had they made huge profits over the years, but as Martin climbed up step by step, his commercial appeal became stronger and stronger, and the profits in the future would only be greater.

It’s not difficult to find a replacement for that thing, at worst you can use a clown statue, but such people and projects are too difficult to find.

Kelly chuckled: "See, I told you that he has a deep mind. He uses that thing and interests to tie us together. He has ulterior motives."

Louise, however, kept thinking, and said, "It's just the three of us, I won't do it."

"Not just us, I have united many people and forces..." Martin exaggerated the current situation, as well as his own ideas and plans.

He said: "Remember that Councillor Erica is based on fighting for and defending women's rights. This is an opportunity for her."

Kelly thought of the kettle from back then.

Martin said: "If it works well, this will be a hundred or even a thousand times more prestigious than the kettle!"

There are also factions within the Donkey Party. Kelly thought about it for a while and said, "We can give it a try. We don't have to rush to the front. If the situation is not right, we can give up. The influence of the Coke Cult is growing. No one will ignore you."

Louise continued, "To be honest, Harvey's wealth may not be as rich as yours, not to mention his influence in various states. He is better than you in terms of years of accumulation. In another five or six years, you will be able to deal with him yourself."

Martin hugged the two men and said, "There is another possibility. I won't last five years before he kills me."

Kelly stood up and said, "We have to pay a lot for you, now it's your turn to pay!"

The next morning, when Martin left, his steps were a little unsteady. At his age, he was as fierce as a wolf and a tiger, which was really a little scary.

…………

Warner TV, the new episode of "The Helen Show" has been recorded. Helen, who is one of the three major female talk show hosts in North America along with Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres, came out of the studio to remove her makeup. The assistant knocked on the door and said, "Boss, Damian called and wants to invite you to have lunch together at noon."

Helen didn't think twice: "Turn it off, I don't have time to pay attention to him. Ask the driver to get ready and take me to Beverly Hills. Martin has an appointment with me."

The assistant immediately went out to make arrangements.

An hour and a half later, Helen arrived at Martin's house as agreed.

Martin had asked the cook to prepare lunch.

The two had experienced the Burbank High School incident together and were closer than just friends.

Martin invited Helen into the restaurant to eat and chat.

Helen asked, "You said you had important news, some inside information to tell me?"

"Old friend, just watch it." Martin picked up the remote control and turned on the TV in the restaurant. The LCD screen played the video that Ivan bought.

When Helen saw Harvey Weinstein's chubby face, she subconsciously put down her knife and fork and focused all her attention on the screen.

This was a combination of coercion and deception. As the woman kept refusing, the tall, strong and fat man said something like "It's no use even if you scream at the top of your lungs" and pressed down on her with his huge body and weight.

Helen is a woman, and strictly speaking, she is also a member of the entertainment industry. She has not only heard of unspoken rules, but has even experienced them herself.

In this industry, beautiful women are not immune.

The noble goddess in the eyes of fans is just one of the people who actively offers her courtesy on the boss’s red sofa.

But as Hollywood has developed to this point, it has become more of a transaction based on mutual consent.

There are too many beautiful women in the entertainment industry. If not this one, there are countless others.

If you don't take the initiative, there are countless people behind you waiting in line to take the initiative, so there is no need to force it.

But the person in the picture seems to particularly like simple, rough and direct methods.

At the end of the video, there is the fat man's temptation and warning.

It's nothing more than that. She will be provided with opportunities and roles. If she doesn't follow the arrangements, her acting career will be completely ruined and she will never succeed, and there may even be more serious consequences.

After the video ended, a phone recording began. The person on the other end of the line claimed to be Matt Damon and gave a stern warning to the victim.

Helen couldn't believe it: "It's really Matt Damon, he doesn't look like that kind of person."

Martin said: "Before, the person who would do this job would be Ben Affleck, but Ben is no longer a deterrent now."

Helen nodded slightly: "I haven't heard from Daben for a long time."

"Same here." After the shooting, Martin asked someone to check the latest whereabouts of Pete and Ben Affleck, but nothing was found because Los Angeles is too big.

He asked, “What do you think of the news value?”

"It's so big that it's immeasurable. It will have an explosive news effect." Helen is no longer the little reporter who rushed up with a camera. Now that she has achieved success and fame, she can no longer take huge risks: "But if you don't do it well, you will get killed."

Before she was transferred to Burbank High School, no one could stop her from reporting such news, and she would do her best to report it.

Martin put himself together with her: "So, we can't rush to the front."

Helen's words changed again: "If it's appropriate, I don't want to miss such news."

Martin pointed to the TV screen: "How about having her on your talk show?"

Helen said, "As long as the timing is right, no problem." She thought for a moment and said, "It would be best if we could find more."

Martin nodded slightly: "We are trying to find a solution. Before that, we will remain silent."

Helen said: "The silence now is for the explosion in the future."

Not long after lunch, Helen said goodbye and left.

Martin received a call from the community committee, and a vice president came to visit him.

"Mr. Davis, I am sorry to come to your house mainly because I have something to ask you." The vice chairman knew that the community was full of wealthy people, so he spoke particularly politely.

Martin said, "Mr. Brant, go ahead."

Brent smiled and said, "Your trash can has been damaged again, and we have to replace it."

Martin understood: "You should ask Mr. Stuart Townsend next door about this matter. I saw him kicking my trash can when I went to throw away the garbage."

"Him?" Brent nodded. "No wonder your two families always have problems with their trash cans."

Martin asked, "He even kicked his own trash can?"

Brant said: "We have repaired and replaced your two trash cans five times. The first one was that the trash can of Ms. Theron next door was damaged, so we took it away to repair it and replaced it with a new one."

He smiled shyly: "I remember you had just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor."

Martin said: "You can communicate with Mr. Townsend. Ms. Theron and I are good friends, so it's not easy to bring this up."

"I'll come visit you." Blatt then said goodbye.
