America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 584 Scumbag Quotes
During the break, Charlize took a sip of water and said to Martin, "Someone asked me why I would get involved with a playboy like you."

"Stir?" Martin nodded slightly and asked seriously, "Sally, you mean the verb, right?"

Charlize put down the water and raised her middle finger to Martin in an unfeminine way: "I told him that I wanted to get back and make up for the lost nine years."

Martin pushed her finger back. "Him? Keanu Reeves?"

Charlize responded, "It's Keanu." This time she changed the wording: "Keanu really doesn't understand why I'm with you."

Martin said: "I'll give you a standard answer, because I have strengths. I'm sexy, handsome, gentle, funny, and powerful. I can provide you with high emotional value. No matter how strong your needs are, I can easily get it done."

Charlize was silent for a moment, because these were indeed what she needed, and she also experienced them from Martin, which made her feel extremely happy.

She didn't want to be completely suppressed by Martin, even in words, so she thought for a while and said, "Is this your latest scumbag quote?"

Martin laughed: "What kind of scumbag quote is this."

Charlize shrugged and suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about finding someone to marry?"

Martin paused for a moment and said, "Every relationship between a man and a woman has the most wonderful beginning, which is always the sweetest part of the relationship, but when it comes to the ultimate proposition of marriage, most of them will become a mess."

Charlize took out a pen and a notebook at some point and quickly wrote down Martin's words.

Martin did not stop it and asked, "Is it necessary?"

Charlize deliberately said: "Write down the scumbag's quotes, it will be easy to identify scumbags, and maybe I can find true love in the future."

Martin said, "Sally, are you planning to get married?"

"I've never thought about it." Charlize has personally experienced the most tragic marriage war, and when she was young, she almost became a victim of the war.

Martin was really thick-skinned to a certain extent: "Look, I've never thought about getting married, and you don't plan to get married either. We can bring the highest emotional value to each other, so isn't it the most appropriate for us to get together?"

This was quite shameless, but Charlize found herself accepting it easily. She couldn't help but think of what she said when she was acting with Martin, and said: "A slut with a scumbag."

Martin added: "For a long time."

The assistant director came over at this time and informed the two to prepare for filming.

Martin was the first to walk into the studio set that was set up as a library, and Charlize followed after putting on her coat.

David Fincher, sitting behind the director's monitor, turned along the slide and asked, "Do you want to clear the scene?"

What we are going to shoot next is an intense action scene.

Martin doesn't care.

Charlize, who has no idea how many explicit scenes she has filmed, said, "No need to clear the set, just shoot normally."

All departments of the crew are making final preparations.

Martin asked, “Is there anything I should be careful about?”

"You know my sensitive spots." Charlize lowered her voice, "Don't go after my sensitive spots. We can't just finish this scene and leave the entire crew here to get into the trailer."

Martin raised his eyebrows slightly: "I am one of the bosses of the crew. If I tell them to wait, they have to wait."

Charlize rolled her eyes: "If you don't want to save your face, I still want to save my face."

The recorder came to the camera to make some notes and the shooting began.

A romantic and fierce battle began.

The shooting went extremely smoothly and every take was passed in one go.

The photography assistant couldn't help but whisper, "It feels like Martin and Charlize are in better shape."

The director of photography said, "Every day we either practice in the trailer on the set or in the hotel. We are so skilled."

The photography assistant nodded repeatedly: "Yes!" He couldn't help but envy: "This is a woman that Hawking couldn't date in countless parallel universes, but Martin got her just like that."

Theresa, the costume designer, was nearby and continued, "If you had Martin's wealth, figure, looks, fame, and commercial value, you would have a chance, but the key is that you have to have Martin's strengths and be able to do certain things. Otherwise, even if you have a one-night stand, there won't be a second one."

The camera assistant asked, “Is that true?”

Theresa, who is mainly responsible for the women's clothing section, smiled and said, "Of course, I heard it from Charlize Theron herself."

As for the crew, there are all kinds of rumors, both true and false.

A week into filming, two other main actresses joined the shoot.

Léa Seydoux came to report to the crew. She will play the role of the male protagonist Nick's sister in the film.

There is also an actress who is Nick's cheating mistress.

This person is a client of WMA, and her agent brought her over specially to say hello.

Before Martin could see the person's face clearly, he felt the dazzle of the car lights.

Léa Seydoux's is not small, but in front of this girl, it's just average.

Martin had read the original novel, and in Gillian's description, the mistress Andy had amazing breasts.

The girl in a tight jacket and ripped jeans passed the agent, walked quickly to Martin, and said excitedly: "I finally meet you, Master!"

Without waiting for Martin to say anything, the girl unzipped her jacket and took it off, revealing a red T-shirt that was pushed up high. The two highest parts of the shirt seemed to be equipped with powerful springs. They popped out with a bang, and swayed up and down, and she was very excited.

Martin had never seen such female believers before, but if he had seen them, he would definitely have an impression of them.

The girl first proved her identity and then introduced herself: "I'm Kate Upton, a little model and actress."

The voice was not low, and everyone around heard it. Several photography assistants were muttering to themselves, this is called a small model or a small actor? Then what is big?

Martin understood that this was a member of the Coke Cult and nodded slightly: "Hello, Kate."

Kate is not old, but she is not the type with big breasts and no brains. She was reminded by her agent when she came, and she immediately stated her attitude and position: "Master, I am your believer. If you need anything or have any instructions in the future, just come to me."

Martin smiled at her and said, "Have a good filming."

Kate responded, "Okay."

The agent who came over from behind stepped forward and shook hands with Martin: "Do you remember me, Martin?"

Martin smiled and said, "Green, your workstation used to be next to Thomas's, and sometimes we would get together and chat for a few minutes."

Green's face was full of surprise: "Yes, I also got you water and made coffee for you."

Martin patted him on the shoulder: "So, I asked Thomas to give you this opportunity."

It was a polite remark, of course, but Thomas knew how to say it.

Martin left quickly.

Green looked at Kate Upton next to him and pointed to his forehead and eyes: "On the set, you should watch more, think more and talk less.

Kate Upton nodded repeatedly.

Green added: "Remember! Martin is the key. One word from him can change your life and future."

Kate Upton is not stupid, and said, "I know."

Green sighed: "If I had persisted at the beginning, Martin might have been my client."

Thomas' resume was not as good as his at that time. If he had chosen Martin, there would be no chance for Thomas at all.

Green thought that Thomas's ability was not much better than his, and he never took the initiative to help Martin find projects and jobs. All he did was follower-like work, but he became a partner of WMA.

When the day comes when Martin becomes a superstar, Thomas will surely be promoted to senior partner of the company.

Green even feels that choice is sometimes more important than ability.

Martin stood at the edge of the set, watching David Fincher discussing the scene with Charlize, in which the leading actress was to smash a glass table, splash blood on the ground, and fake a crime scene.

Léa Seydoux came over from behind and asked, "Why do you have so many fans here?"

Martin said: "I can't help it. After all, I am a leader."

Léa Seydoux asks: "Can I join the Cult of Coke?"

"Of course, this is just a pan-faith organization." Martin added, "The Coke Church is now also a platform. After joining, you can meet more people at gatherings."

Léa Seydoux nodded: "I will buy a commemorative Coke and register on the official website later."

Martin said, "Next time we meet in Los Angeles, I'll have someone notify you in advance."

In the afternoon, the crew moved outside the city for filming.

This quiet little town suddenly became bustling.

It is probably rare to see a Hollywood crew shooting on location, and with the names of Martin, Charlize and David Fincher, the crew was surrounded by media reporters and onlookers as soon as they arrived at the Mississippi River.

For a moment, the place was filled with noise and chaos, like a duck farm.

Martin emerged from the makeup trailer and the noise got louder.

"Look here, Martin!"

"Martin, we love you!"

Some men shouted: "Charlize Theron, you are my goddess!"

"Marry me, South African diamond!"

There were at least a few hundred people surrounding the set, it was as chaotic as it could be.

David Fincher also had a headache and called a few assistants: "Hurry up and communicate with the people on the scene. If this continues, there will be no work today."

Several assistants and the crew's security were all dispatched to negotiate with media reporters, police officers who were helping to maintain order, and the spectators.

In Los Angeles or Atlanta, these things can be easily resolved after communication.

The assistant who came back first told David Fincher: "There is no problem with the media reporters, but we need to provide some news appropriately."

This is the most common method used by the crew. David Fincher nodded: "Okay."

The person who communicated with the local police chief also came back and said, "Sheriff Hampton said he can't do anything. This is not Cape Girardeau, it's just a small town. There are not many police officers in the police station. Except for those who stayed in the police station on duty, all others were sent here..."

Martin came over at this time, glanced at the people in police uniforms, and said, "The youngest one is almost 50 years old."

Several more people came back one after another, and the feedback they gave was not good. Most of these spectators came out of curiosity and spontaneously to watch the filming of the crew or to chase their idols, and they were not organized.

Martin said: "They attacked purely out of curiosity. Once the curiosity is gone, there won't be so many people around anymore."

David Fincher has been very particular about efficiency since the start of filming. When it comes to the work plan for each day, he frowned and said, "Is this afternoon going to be wasted?"

Martin looked around and found that most of the people eating onlookers were men, many of whom were quite old. After thinking for a while, he said, "I have an idea that might work."
