America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 555 Who is next?

Nolan has always been worried about the kidnapping case in Morocco and the shooting on the crew. He has told Martin more than once that he suspects the incident is related to Mossad in the Hoopoe family.

This agency is notorious and has done countless dirty work.

Martin said a mixture of truth and lies: "A few days ago, I heard some relevant news from Harvey's wife Georgina Chapman. Chris, I have a special relationship with her..."

Nolan nodded to show his understanding: "I understand."

"There is no evidence for these things." Martin said seriously, "But it involves you and me. I think you have the right to know."

Nolan himself had never thought of turning the page: "Actually, I have some guesses."

Martin said directly: "Georgina told me that Harvey instructed Pete and Ben to find someone to do this. Although I don't know who they found and there is no evidence, Georgina occasionally heard them make phone calls."

Nolan frowned, "I have nothing to do with Harvey."

"So I apologize to you first. Harvey may have targeted me in part." Martin mentioned the illegitimate child incident: "Some time ago, the paternity test that framed me was done by Ben and Pitt. They are the core members of the Foot Gang and have been very close to Harvey in recent years, especially Ben, who has cleaned up Harvey's ass dozens of times."

Nolan had heard about Ben and Harvey, and combined with Martin's words, he asked, "The other part is targeting me?"

Martin continued: "It is just possible that Harvey is a Jew and has close ties with some Jewish forces in North America."

Nolan has been under tremendous pressure since the kidnapping and had to compromise.

But for a director like him who has great ambitions and attaches great importance to autonomy, the greater the pressure exerted, the stronger his potential desire for backlash is.

Nolan originally believed that this was done by the Jews, and now the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks so: "It's not impossible that they want to teach me a profound lesson through Harvey. After all, these people have done too many crazy things. They have even got rid of many UN officials who support them, not to mention a small director like me who has offended them."

Martin sighed: "Maybe we two are unlucky."

Nolan said: "It's not that we are unlucky, it's that they are too much. Their greed is endless. Isn't Harvey a typical representative of them?"

Martin nodded: "Anyway, be careful of Harvey next time."

Nolan responded: "I'll pay attention."

After getting out of Martin's car, he was somewhat annoyed. Harvey had secretly done something to him, how could he get back at him?
Nolan wandered around his car for a while, took out his cell phone and called Barry Meyer, saying directly: "Our $1.6 million investment project may have been tampered with by Harvey Weinstein."

Barry Meyer asked, "You mean the last shooting?"

Nolan has his own inclinations, but he also has his own analysis: "The bullet in Tom Hardy's gun was quietly replaced. I can only think of one explanation that someone inside the crew did it. The person who did this would not take such a big risk for no reason. He must have been influenced and instructed by someone."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "That person must be very experienced and powerful in the industry, and he dislikes me, Martin, and even Warner."

The conflict between Harvey and Warner has been going on for more than a year or two. The copyright of "The Hobbit" has caused new hatred between the two sides.

Barry Meyer said: "Indeed, Harvey fits the description you gave."

The success of "The Dark Knight" gave Nolan the capital. He said: "Warner Bros. said they would fully support me."

Barry Meyer was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry, you will see it soon."

Nolan hung up the phone, got in his car and went home, where he found a note left by Emma Thomas.

Emma is going to Europe and will be back in a few days.

Nolan threw the note away, went into the film room at home, and started working again.

The success of the film was the key to his being valued by Warner.

…………

On the way back to Beverly Hills, Leonardo looked at Martin and said, "Old buddy, luckily Jack and I are both firm believers in not getting married, otherwise we would have kicked you out of the car long ago."

Nicholson shook his head. “I was a jerk when I was young, but compared to the shit you did, I’m a perfect person.”

Martin spread his hands: "I said I was forced, do you believe it?"

What awaited him were two middle fingers raised high.

Nicholson said: "If you have any shame, you wouldn't say such a thing."

Leonardo fully agreed: "Have you found your next target? Whose wife or fiancée? Jack and I will make some preparations so that we can help you hold up the banners."

Martin thought about it very seriously and said firmly: "It probably won't happen again in the future."

"No one would believe that!" Leonardo snorted coldly, "Who else in the Foot Gang has a wife? Quentin, that scoundrel, is not married or engaged, and Robert Rodriguez seems to be the same, and Matt Damon?"

He asked Nicholson, "Is Damon married?"

Nicholson thought for a moment and said, "It seems so!"

"Can you two behave like human beings?" Martin pointed at them and said disdainfully, "You keep thinking about swindling other people's wives. Even Satan would faint from the stench of assholes you emanate if you were thrown into hell."

The car had already entered Beverly Hills. Leonardo pointed to the north side of Sunset Boulevard and said, "Okay, be a man and swear not to look for Charlize Theron tonight."

Martin hit back, "Envy and jealousy have twisted your mind, Leo! I'm looking for Charlize Theron, who Hawking couldn't date in countless parallel universes. Unlike you, you always like to find some ugly girls." Leonardo was about to ask her if she had blonde hair and long legs, but he realized it in time and said, "You don't understand, true love is under 25 years old."

Nicholson didn't want to bother with these two idiots, so he asked Bruce to stop the car: "I'm going back to sleep."

Leonardo said, "I'm leaving too. I'm going back to recuperate so that I can prepare for the next war."

After the two men got out of the car one after another, Bruce drove into the community. As the car arrived at the east gate of Charlize's house, a small door opened automatically.

In the golden autumn season, among the yellow grass turning into flaxen, there is a red path, waiting for Martin to explore.

Bruce said before Martin got out of the car, "I'm going to go to Jody's in a minute."

Thinking of the great sacrifice that Old Bull made, Martin said, "Use less strength and don't break bones."

Bruce's face darkened. "Jody is catching up on the news, editing and organizing the videos she shot. This information cannot be leaked in advance. She can't handle it alone, so I went over to help."

Martin gave Old Bull a thumbs up: "A manager who can't edit is not a good bodyguard!"

Bruce waved and drove away.

Martin entered Charlize's house and soon stepped onto the narrow path.

Not long after, Bruce walked into Jody's house.

The two went into the editing room and began to edit a large amount of information, including photos, videos, and interview records of the parties involved, into a video news.

According to the plan, the first version of the video news will be kept within fifteen minutes.

Times have changed. When people in front of their computers click on a piece of news that is too long, they may just close it as soon as they see its length.

In this regard, Jody is experienced and has a very keen sense of news, and knows what to choose.

Bruce has a stronger sense of the overall situation and knows what can be further developed.

There is so much information about Harvey Weinstein's coercion that the information they have collected is piled up like a mountain.

Cutting out a few minutes, Jody went to make two cups of espresso.

Bruce asked, "No tea?"

"No." Qiao Di was surprised: "Do you like black tea?"

Bruce simply explained: "I got used to drinking with Martin."

Jody said, "I'll buy some in the future and keep them for you."

Bruce was a little flustered by these words. He waved his hand quickly: "No need to be so troublesome..."

But Jody stared at him with an inexplicable smile on his lips.

Bruce thought of sisters Kim and Khloe and felt that he had to make it clear to Jodi: "We are friends and partners. There is no emotional factor involved."

"Scumbag! Worse than Martin Davis!" Jody almost spat.

Bruce had been with Martin for a long time, so he learned from him and was very familiar with the three no principles. He came up with an excuse: "Please understand, I just want to comfort you because I see that you are very tired and hard-working!"

Jody said directly: "After today's work is finished, I still need comfort." She gave a warning in advance: "Can you be gentler? Are you going to break my bones every time?"

Bruce was used to bumping into the other two people, so no matter how hard they hit, they would have enough cushioning and didn't have to worry about these things at all.

"I'll try my best!" was all he could say.

Jody stopped discussing this and returned to the main topic of work: "Soon, I will be your whistleblower. Are you sure you have enough power to deal with Harvey?"

It was precisely because they were not 100% sure that they had asked Jody, the cannon fodder, to rush to the front! Bruce certainly would not say that. Instead, he said, "Go ahead boldly. We will support you at any time. If you need us, no less than five powerful forces will rush to support you!"

Qiao Di couldn't turn back at this time, nor did he plan to turn back, so he asked, "Who are the five forces?"

"I can't tell you for now." Bruce answered vaguely. This was not empty talk, it was enough to put it in the open.

He calculated in his mind that Martin was on one side.

And then there's the political forces that Kelly Gray mobilizes.

It is said that Louise also wants to persuade her father. After all, her interests are closely tied to Martin. Pacific Pictures now mainly cooperates with Martin on film projects.

Needless to say, as for Warner Bros., Barry Meyer, Alan Horn and Daniel will never let Harvey go if the opportunity is right.

Then there are Leonardo and Nicholson. They also said that Harvey is not an ordinary person. Are they ordinary people?

There are many others as well.
