America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 570 Enjoy it
That afternoon, the studio finalized Mia's contract as quickly as possible and obtained the relevant copyrights of the script. Martin also officially named the script "La La Land".

Mia is not a qualified screenwriter now, but she is willing to work hard and learn, and the whole story is based on her love affair with Sebastian.

Even if you want to make some revisions and polish it later, you have to wait until she finishes it.

Thomas specifically recommended to Martin someone who was good at revising and polishing the script: "Carrie Fisher under WMA is the best at this in Hollywood."

Martin thought the name sounded familiar: "Carrie Fisher? She seems very famous."

Thomas thought to himself, you claim to be a fan of all Hollywood stars, you started watching movies at the age of three, and started practicing at the age of ten, but you don’t even know the American national myth series.

"Princess Leia!" He was afraid that Martin wouldn't remember who Princess Leia was: "Leia Skywalker Solo."

When Martin heard the last name Skywalker, he understood: "She's good at this?"

Thomas explained: "In fact, Carrie Fisher's acting career has basically stagnated over the years, and she is also addicted to drugs. Her wealthy life over the years has been maintained by the post-production share of the Star Wars series and the remuneration for revising and polishing scripts for others."

He further said: "She may not be able to write the script alone, as the creativity is a problem, but she is recognized as a master in the industry when it comes to editing and polishing."

Martin trusted Thomas's recommendation: "You are responsible for contacting her."

This project cannot be rushed. Given Mia's condition, the script will definitely not be completed in less than half a year, and post-production polishing and modification will also take time.

After Thomas left, Bruce entered Martin's office and handed a file bag to Martin: "Daniel had someone send it here."

Martin opened it and looked at a list of films from Warner's library.

As one of the six major Hollywood companies, Warner has extremely rich financial resources. Martin saw familiar names such as "Casablanca", "The Wizard of Oz", "King Kong", and "The Shining" in this list.

Even the copyright of "The Shawshank Redemption" is in the hands of Warner Bros.

Martin flipped through the films and recalled the past, trying to find relevant memories. When it was almost time to get off work, he circled out three old films and asked Bruce to give them to Jessica and Emily, and to negotiate with Warner Bros. for remake authorization to test the waters.

The major personnel changes at Warner Bros. could affect everyone, even collaborators.

Martin must be on guard, even towards Daniel, with whom he has worked over the past few years.

People's positions always change with their interests and their butts.

Bruce came back soon and said, "Before going to Atlanta, I have some personal matters to attend to. I need to leave for a while."

"Okay, I'll give you a long vacation." Martin's first words were normal, but the latter part changed: "You want to date Sofia? Remember to bring the hospital's anorectal department phone number..."

Bruce simply raised his two hands and pointed his two middle fingers in front of Martin: "I'm going on vacation with Kim and Khloe!"

Martin said, "Old Bull, can you be a human being? You are my sister, how dare you do that to me?"

Bruce was immune to Martin's attacks and stared at him coldly.

Martin said disdainfully: "Don't make that expression. My moral standards are much higher than yours."

Just as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Georgina Chapman calling. He answered and said, "Hi, honey."

Georgina on the other side asked, "Are you off work? I'm in your suite at the Ritz-Carlton."

Martin said, "Wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

"Come over early, I have a surprise for you." Georgina said 'muma' and hung up the phone.

Martin put away his phone and found that Old Bull was still looking at him. He said, "It's time to get off work."

Bruce walked out and asked, "I remember Georgina Chapman and Harvey haven't divorced yet, right?"

Martin was so thick-skinned that he pretended not to understand anything. "We are going through the legal process. It should be soon."

Bruce said: "Leonardo's judgment is very accurate."

Martin shook his head: "She soon got divorced and became single again."

Bruce smiled but said nothing, feeling that his moral standards were far above Martin's.

The two got in the car and Bruce drove to Beverly Hills.

Martin picked up a newspaper and turned to the entertainment section. In the corner, he saw a piece of news the size of a finger, saying that Ben Affleck had temporarily left the state prison and entered the hospital for examination and treatment.

It's really slippery!
This is yesterday's newspaper. Martin has always been very concerned about the developments in the circle, and the news about Ben has not attracted any attention at all.

In other words, no one in the mainstream entertainment media reported it.

Martin asked, "Is there no trouble with Big Ben?"

"No, these are normal things in prison. People who enter there don't have normal human rights." Bruce deliberately added, "I heard from Mene that Big Ben went to the hospital to see the anorectal department."

Martin nodded: "Continue to entertain him."

Bruce said something very true: "I believe Ben will adapt quickly and enjoy it."

When we arrived in Beverly Hills, the car drove directly into the hotel's underground parking lot.

Martin took the special elevator to the suite upstairs. As soon as he opened the door, he saw two black silk stockings.

Georgina was a model, and she posed to show off her figure, which was extremely attractive. Martin walked over quickly.

Georgina was extremely charming, and she didn't forget to say: "I must pay for today's room fee. I want to pay with Harvey's money."

How could Martin refuse? "I'll listen to you."

Georgina took the initiative to get entangled.

Of course Martin won't be polite.

While the former was busy, he did not forget to say: "Please help me think of more ways to make Harvey receive a heavier punishment, so that I can get more of his property."

"No big problem." Martin responded.

Georgina added: "I will give you a generous reward!"

Martin asked, "Where's the reward?"

Georgina became more proactive, like Joan of Arc, holding a flag in one hand and a sword in the other, riding on a horse: "Is this reward enough? There will be more in the future."

She was very positive and said, "I have just met a few supermodels and introduced them to the fashion supermodel group. I am planning to recruit them to join the group. When do you have time to test them?"

Martin thought, this is too proactive, they are actively recruiting people, and immediately said, "After the New Year."

"I know all the rules." Georgina turned around and planned to contact AA, KK and the old fox, the group of people who like to play and know how to have fun: "I will ask them to bring the latest medical examination reports."

Martin praised: "You are becoming more and more sensible."

Georgina returned to the previous topic: "Can we get rid of Harvey? Then I will be the first heir."

Martin reminded: "Think about it, don't do anything reckless. It's very stupid to sacrifice your future for him."

Georgina was just asking tentatively, her mind still clear, and she said, "Then let Harvey become a long-term domestic abuser of me!"

Martin said: "I guarantee that Harvey will spend ten years in prison."

Georgina cheered and jumped for joy, shaking wildly as if a motor was installed on her body.

Martin suddenly found himself communicating closely with Georgina, discussing how to make Harvey even more miserable...

Why do I feel like Mr. Ximen? Harvey, have you taken your medicine?
This is nothing. Martin knows very well that men don’t like to meet Mr. Ximen, but they all want to be Mr. Ximen.

After taking a shower in the bathroom, the two went to have dinner to replenish their energy for the next fierce battle.

In the restaurant, Georgina asked, "I can't wait for them to come over. Can't they come over during the Christmas holiday?"

Martin thought, is it so difficult to take a vacation? He said, "Christmas is not possible. I have to go back to Atlanta for something. I will be back around New Year's."

Georgina shrugged: "Okay, let's talk about it after the New Year. I'll talk to them."

Martin reminded him, "You should focus on the divorce case for now. Only when you get the property in your hands will it truly belong to you."

Georgina nodded repeatedly: "I understand. No one can take away what belongs to me."

The number of victims in the Harvey case has exceeded one hundred, and the case has shocked the world. Meitu and the media have been keeping a close eye on it, and the Federal Department of Justice has even sent a team over.

Lawyers across the United States are eager to try, of course not to defend Harvey, but to become victim defense lawyers.

In addition to criminal proceedings, there will inevitably be civil proceedings involving huge compensation.

Even the currently released "Avatar" is not as popular and attracts as much attention as Harvey Weinstein.

Even now, victims continue to emerge, with the earliest cases dating back to the late 1970s.

Among them are people close to powerful figures such as Jennifer Siebel.

Martin no longer needs to do anything, he can just watch and enjoy the show.

Georgina added: "The lawyer I hired was Nicole Kidman's attorney when Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman divorced. He is best at handling divorce lawsuits by celebrities and wealthy people. When Nicole Kidman divorced, she not only took at least $7000 million in assets from Tom Cruise, but also threw all the blame on Tom Cruise."

Martin said, "This lawyer sounds great."

Georgina said, "I'll introduce them to you some other day."

Martin shook his head directly: "I don't need this kind of lawyer."

Georgina understood: "Okay, great non-marriage advocate."

After dinner, the two went straight back to the suite. The room was big enough and they could find plenty of entertainment options.

In the following days, Martin attended the film review sessions organized by the crew and David Fincher almost every day. He also campaigned for himself in a timely manner, after all, he could strive for an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" has always had a good reputation and a stable box office performance. Before the new weekend arrived, the North American box office easily exceeded 2 million US dollars. It is generally predicted by people inside and outside the industry that the North American box office of this film will be around million US dollars.

"Avatar" is currently sweeping the North American film market, and its weekend box office is almost the same as its first weekend box office. James Cameron almost recreated the miracle of Avatar's box office reversal that year.

Before Christmas, Martin and Lily left Los Angeles and returned to Atlanta.
