America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 567 Cherish your life and stay away from Martin

California State Prison, visiting room.

Manninger sat in front of the explosion-proof glass window, listening to the black boy talking opposite.

The black boy said, "Lao Man, we have been helping you take care of your sister and mother. They are living well."

They came to visit last month, and Manninger nodded: "Thank you."

"We are brothers, so there is no need to be polite." The black boy said, "I have found a way to bring you a few new bars of soap. I will give them to you after checking them. Three tender bastards just came over. The tallest one among them..."

After hearing the description, Manninger said, "I recognize him. We brothers haven't had meat for a long time. You came at the right time."

The black boy saw that the time was almost up: "I'll talk to you in detail next time I come to see you."

The two men ended the visit, and when Manninger left, he received an inspected bag from the prison guard, which contained several opened boxes of soap.

These soaps have some strange fragrance, which is refreshing and clears the mind. It is very different from the past.

Manninger returned to his room, waited for the iron door to close, and immediately called a few of his men.

The day was quiet, but during the exercise period, many black people gathered together.

They are extremely energetic and do certain things without restraint, and have formed their own force in the state prison.

The men quickly reached a consensus, and six of them decided to participate directly.

A few of them, those with sufficient capital, were able to be brought to the Sacred Valley to become male artists.

The next day, it was bath time in the prison.

Pete, Big Ben and Cassie, who had just turned around, entered the open bathroom and deliberately chose a deserted place to take a shower.

The faucet had just been turned on when some black men came over from the other side. They were chatting loudly about something, and some of them were even looking over here.

Peter glanced across and said to Ben, "I've found a friend and will soon be treated preferentially. Don't cause any trouble in there. If you can find a way to slip in some money, you'll definitely be able to get out early."

Big Ben has been looking gloomy these days: "When I get out, I will never let Martin Davis go!"

He said sternly, "Martin's sister, her name is Lily Carter, right? You'll see her in Tijuana Red Carpet Street!"

"Should we stay away from Martin?" Cassie was frightened recently and didn't want to get entangled anymore: "Martin is not easy to mess with!"

Pete was deeply touched: "Cherish life and stay away from Martin."

Da Ben looked around and asked: "Are you scared?"

Cassie lowered her head and said nothing.

Pete sighed and said, "Didn't you hear about Harvey? Harvey will probably come in as well, and he'll be worse off than us."

Big Ben didn't give up so easily: "I still have Damon. Damon will help me outside. I want to get out early and quietly return everything that Martin Davis has imposed on us, making him live in pain for the rest of his life."

Pete stopped talking, his mind gradually became active, and he began to think about himself. If he reported Ben, he wondered if he could get a reduced sentence?

Once such thoughts come to mind, I can no longer suppress them.

With a "pop" sound, something seemed to fall nearby. Pete turned his head and saw a piece of soap with a strange fragrance falling at Big Ben's feet.

Da Ben also saw it, and the fragrance penetrated into his nose, which was more refreshing than the traditional foot projects.

He looked in the direction where the soap fell, and saw a burly man as strong as a black iron tower.

The man grinned with two rows of white teeth, looking very friendly: "Hey, buddy, help me pick up the soap."

Da Ben ignored him and moved away from the soap.

Black Iron Tower strode over, picked up the soap, but did not leave.

Daben looked at him in surprise.

Heitaita raised his hand, holding the foamy soap in his hand. With a little force, the soap flew out from between his fingers, hit Big Ben's chest, and fell to the ground again.

Daben is tall and strong, not easy to mess with, and he has a bad temper: "Apologize to me and leave here!"

Black Iron Tower laughed and said, "Help me pick up the soap."

Just as Da Ben clenched his fists, he heard footsteps all around him, and all the black men nearby surrounded him, there were as many as thirty of them.

Black Iron Tower snapped his fingers: "Are you going to pick it up on your own initiative, or are you going to be forced to do so?"

Casillas quickly pulled Ben Affleck aside and said, "Let's talk it over. Let's talk it over. He's Ben Affleck."

Black Iron Tower pushed Cassie aside and said, "A big Hollywood star, this place is too damn rare!"

There was laughter all around, and the black guys were eager to try.

Cassie quickly pulled Pete aside and said, "Think of a solution!"

A dozen black men looked over.

Pete could see clearly that these people were not targeting him, so he quickly looked around and found that the patrolling guards seemed to have an understanding and were patrolling other places at the same time.

Obviously, this was arranged.

Being repeatedly plotted against, losing their wealth and future, their reputation could not scare these black men. Pete knew what would happen next. Although he had similar experiences before he became famous, he definitely did not want to experience it again. He quickly raised his hand and said, "I am not familiar with them, not at all."

The Black Iron Tower nodded, and Pete hurried away, and even ran behind him.

Although he ended up in prison and was abandoned and spurned by the entire Hollywood, Pitt was still very persistent. If you want to do these things with him, at least you have to pay him a large sum of money like the film producers in Sacred Valley did.

When they were far away, Pete looked back and saw that several black men had controlled Cassie, and the remaining dozens of black men surrounded Big Ben. Some of them were holding soaps that gave off a strange fragrance.

Not long after, Da Ben's voice was heard.

The sound was very, very strange, and Pete couldn't tell for a moment if it was a scream or not.

A horrific incident recorded as the "Manninger Massacre" broke out at the California State Prison!

…………

On this day, a grand premiere was being held at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" premiered in North America.

In order to cooperate with the public relations promotion during the awards season, this film, which had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, was not actually released until after the North American awards season officially began.

Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures invited many celebrities to support the film, especially Christopher Nolan, which caused a great sensation.

This star director has a huge number of fans across the United States and around the world. They support Nolan unconditionally. Even today, they are still using IMDB as a battlefield to fight to the death with fans of "The Godfather" and "The Shawshank Redemption."

In the words of Warner Bros. and Nolan himself, as long as the discs of "The Dark Knight" are still on the market, this war without gunpowder will not stop.

"Inception", which will be released next year, has a teaser advertisement added to "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".

Paramount Pictures' current ace co-star, Tom Cruise, also came to cheer and support, and brought a special gift for Martin.

Martin and Elizabeth walked on the red carpet together and came to the area where the Coca-Cola Cult gathered. After the routine signing and drinking Coke together, they entered the media area.

Tom Cruise was waiting for him in the media area.

Martin was somewhat surprised and didn't know what Tom Cruise was going to do.

In front of many media reporters and cameras, Tom Cruise strode over, stretched out his arms and hugged Martin tightly, then waved to the back.

Katie Holmes brought over a small cake.

Tom Cruise took it and handed it to Martin: "This is for you."

"Thank you." Martin put it away and handed it to Elizabeth solemnly: "We must try Tom's cake later."

Tom Cruise saw that Martin understood what he meant and said, "My cakes are very special. I will give you a few more later."

Without Martin's beckoning, Bruce had already taken out a gift box from his bag and quietly put it into Martin's hand.

Martin handed the statue that Lily carved by hand to Tom Cruise: "It just so happens that I have a gift for you too."

Tom Cruise took it.

The two stood together, looking like close friends.

A reporter asked: "Tom, Martin, when did you become so close?"

Tom Cruise said first: "In the filming of Mission: Impossible 4, Martin gave me a lot of suggestions on action design, which helped the crew avoid many detours. The filming of Mission: Impossible 4 is progressing so smoothly, and Martin has contributed a lot."

The film market has not been doing well in recent years, and even Tom Cruise has started to take advantage of the popularity.

Many relationships in the industry are sometimes formed this way. Martin doesn't mind and said with a smile: "As early as when Top Gun was released, I became a die-hard fan of Tom. I have watched Mission: Impossible more than a dozen times. It is a classic among classics. It is my honor to be able to help Tom a little."

Tom Cruise bumped his fist with Martin and said, "I should have invited you to the premiere of Top Gun when it came out."

Martin laughed cheerfully: "I was just a little kid then." He was good at creating topics: "Tom, there is something I have always wanted to ask you."

Seeing that these two drama queens were just performing their own show without them asking any questions, the reporters simply stopped asking questions and focused on filming the news.

Tom Cruise asked: "Whatever it is, just ask."

"Now the sequel to Mission Impossible has started filming. I've been waiting for several years and it's finally here." Martin asked, "When will there be a next Top Gun movie?"

Tom Cruise reacted very quickly and immediately realized that this was also a very good topic for hype. He said, "Soon, we are making preliminary plans!"

He vowed: "Martin, I promise that you will be able to see the second part of Top Gun in a few years!"

“That’s great news,” Martin said.

The reporters were all very excited. This piece of news would be a hot topic for at least several days.

Martin left the media area, reunited with other creative staff of the crew, took a group photo in front of the sponsor's backdrop, and entered the theater lobby.

Elizabeth handed the cake to Bruce and came over to ask, "Why did Tom Cruise send a cake on this occasion?"

Martin simply explained: "This is Tom Cruise's symbol of friendship. He sends cakes to people he is close to every Christmas. This is also Cruise's traditional program."
