America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 608 The Most Unconfident Gang on Earth

In the meeting room of the police station, Martin and his team, accompanied by a lawyer, met with Justin Bieber's lawyer and agent Scooter Braun.

When the latter saw Martin and Taylor, he immediately stepped forward to shake hands and apologize: "Justin has deeply repented for his behavior and repeatedly asked me to apologize to you on his behalf. Please allow me to say sorry on his behalf. This matter is entirely our fault."

Martin shook his hand and said nothing more.

Taylor gave way to Selena Gomez: "Your client should apologize to Selena."

Scott said sorry to Selena again.

The lawyers of both sides also negotiated on this matter.

Martin sat back in his chair and asked the old guys, "What do you say?"

Chad was simple and direct: "It's easy to say an apology, but it's the least sincere thing to say."

Taylor also came over: "What the director said makes a lot of sense."

She consulted her sisters, called a lawyer over, and gave them a brief explanation.

Inside the meeting room, Justin Bieber's lawyer had a headache.

He asked his acquaintances in the police station for information. It was Justin Bieber and his group who harassed Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and other girls first. After Martin and others arrived to stop them, these idiots whose heads were hit by a car took the initiative to attack Martin and others.

As a result, I encountered a tough opponent.

The most capable fighting star in Hollywood, a director who started out as a stuntman and stuntman, an action director who won the U.S. Karate and Martial Arts Championships, and a former Navy SEAL who crawled out of a pile of the dead.

Who in their right mind would provoke such a group of people, let alone take the initiative to attack them?

But thinking back, it's not surprising that a 16-year-old bastard who drinks in public and chews grass would do these things.

The lawyer called Scott over to discuss the matter: "The other party recorded the video, and the NYPD also obtained some surveillance video, which is very unfavorable to Justin."

The agent was also troubled: "Let's settle it as soon as possible, as long as the other party's demands are not too excessive..."

"You must restrain him. He is getting more and more outrageous." Although the lawyer can receive a large fee for each representation, he still reminds the client because these stupid things make him, as a lawyer, feel ashamed.

The agent said, "I know, let's deal with the matter at hand first."

He is also a veteran entertainment agent, and he can see some things clearly: "Martin Davis is not a good person."

The lawyers from both sides entered the meeting room and started discussing.

Taylor was very sensible. He specifically called Selina, Carly and Kara, who were doing nothing, to thank Bruce, Mene, Chen Hu, Chad and Marcus.

As for Martin, Taylor whispered to them, "You can thank him in a more sincere way tomorrow night."

Carly thought of the box of gifts she had prepared.

Selena feels that her singing voice still has a lot of room for improvement.

Kara believes that she will achieve the highest achievement for her fans.

Martin and others waited patiently for a while, and the lawyers on both sides soon reached an agreement.

Justin Bieber will publicly apologize to Martin, Taylor and others in a major New York newspaper, promise not to harass Selena Gomez anymore, and pay a sum of money as mental compensation to everyone.

It wasn't a big deal, and Martin, Taylor and their group quickly came out of the police station.

The news had already spread, and many reporters and paparazzi gathered outside the police station.

Martin and his group did not accept the interview and got into two cars separately.

Since Selena, Carly and Kara had just turned 18 and were unable to enter the bars in New York, Taylor simply chose a high-end restaurant and treated Martin and his group to a midnight snack.

She is very good at dealing with people and has been doing very well in the entertainment industry in the past two years.

Inside the police station, Justin Bieber got angry after hearing what his agent said about the negotiation results: "Public apology? No, absolutely not!"

He raised his wrist with purple scars and showed it to Scott: "This is all Martin Davis' fault. This matter has just begun. I am not done with him!"

Scott reminded: "Do you know who he is? He is Martin Davis!"

Justin Bieber didn't buy it at all: "I am still Justin Bieber, a unique genius in the history of music!"

Scott didn't know what to say for a moment.

The media had already received the news and there was no way to stop the reporting. If this attitude was adopted and Justin was convicted of harassment, the consequences would be disastrous if the MeToo group intervened.

The opponent was Martin Davis. There were many legends about him in Hollywood. Brad Pitt was in California State Prison, and Ben Affleck had been admitted to the anorectal department of the hospital...

Scott racked his brains, put himself in Justin Bieber's bastard's shoes, and finally came up with a solution: "If you don't reach a settlement with the other party as soon as possible, you may be detained by the NYPD for intentional assault. Even if we apply for bail, it will take a long time."

Justin Bieber looked nonchalant.

Scott emphasized: "Just think about it, staying here for a few days, without seaweed and alcohol..."

Hearing this, Justin Bieber was dumbfounded and said, "You won't send it to me?"

The client was a musical genius, but Scott couldn't comment on anything else. He pointed to the NYPD badge on the wall and said, "Do you think I can bring it in?"

Thinking of the days without seaweed, Justin Bieber suddenly collapsed, throwing away his last stubbornness and dignity, and said: "Issue an apology statement and give them compensation, you do it." Scott called in a lawyer and asked Justin Bieber to sign the settlement agreement.

On the other side, after having supper, the group arrived at the restaurant entrance and several cars had already driven over.

Taylor leaned close to Martin's ear and whispered, "Tonight is girls' night, we're waiting for your car to pick us up tomorrow."

Martin said, "I'll wait for you at the apartment on the Upper East Side."

Taylor was the first to leave the restaurant, followed by Cara and Selena. Karlie Kloss, who was walking at the end, suddenly turned around and blew a kiss to Martin.

Chen Hu stood a little further away and said to Chad next to him, "Director, I think it would be better to postpone the high-intensity action scenes that will be filmed the day after tomorrow."

Originally, these high-intensity action scenes were scheduled for after the weekend because the actors had just rested and would have more energy to perform.

Chad considered the practicalities and agreed: "Well, let's move Martin and Mene's drama to Monday. You didn't hear it just now, it's not just Martin, Mene is going to see Celine Dion tomorrow."

Chen Hu didn't envy Martin, because Martin had all the top assets from appearance to fame to status, but Mene...

He couldn't help but say, "I want to be Mene, too."

Chad nodded very seriously: "Who wouldn't want to?"

After seeing off Taylor and the other three, Martin said, "Guys, shall we go back and rest, or continue drinking?"

Chad said, "Go to bed early. I have to discuss roles with the new actors tomorrow morning, so I can't stay up too late."

Martin followed suit: "Let's go back to the hotel."

After returning to the hotel, Martin did not rest immediately. Instead, he called the publicity director of the crew and emphasized what happened tonight.

There will definitely be widespread coverage in the media tomorrow. The crew can make appropriate contact and communicate, and reveal some information to the media, which will also be an excellent promotion for "John Wick 2".

Sequels to blockbuster movies also need publicity and hype.

The next morning, just after coming out of the bathroom, Martin received a call from Chad.

"The new actor has arrived and wants to visit you this morning." Chad asked, "Are you free this morning?"

Martin glanced at the clock on the wall: "Ten o'clock."

Chad responded and hung up the phone.

Martin came to the restaurant to eat, and Bruce handed him some newspapers: "Many media reported what happened last night."

Taking the newspaper, Martin flipped through it. Most of the relevant news appeared on the front page or second page of the entertainment section.

"New singer Justin Bieber harassed Taylor Swift, and Martin Davis came to the rescue!"

"Justin Bieber sneaks up on Martin Davis and is counterattacked!"

Most of the reports in the newspapers mentioned Martin and the crew of "John Wick 2", which could be regarded as a promotion for the film.

Another thing is Justin Bieber's apology statement.

Video footage of the incident was published on the Internet, especially on TMZ.

The TMZ video edited together the public surveillance video of Justin Bieber and his group harassing Taylor and Selena with the video shot by Bruce.

The news was also given a subtitle: Justin Bieber and his friends VS the main creative staff of "John Wick 2".

The video was processed by Jody, and an introduction to the crew of "John Wick 2" was added to it.

From the leading actor to the director, from the supporting actor to the action director, each one of them is incredibly powerful.

Faced with the sneak attack from Justin Bieber and his group, almost all of them were killed instantly!

Especially Chen Hu's two consecutive attacks were quite shocking.

The video went viral on the same day, with netizens talking about it.

"I would like to call Justin Bieber and his companions the most arrogant gang on the planet!"

Someone immediately followed up: "The creative team of John Wick 2 is definitely the most capable crew in Hollywood!"

Someone else brought up the dog: "Fortunately, Justin Bieber provoked Taylor Swift instead of Martin's dog, otherwise the dog's life would be in danger!"

"This was a duel of unequal power and no suspense. When I saw Justin Bieber rushing towards Martin, I already knew the result."

The related news and videos made the crew of "John Wick 2" a little famous, and Taylor also received a lot of attention. Even the identities of Selena, Carly and Kara were dug out and reported repeatedly.

After having breakfast and taking a short rest, Martin finished his routine training at the hotel's training ground, returned to his room, changed his clothes, and went to the hotel conference room rented by the crew.

Chad and two actors who had just joined the crew were already waiting for him.

A middle-aged man with brown hair, and a girl with golden brown hair.

Seeing Martin come in, Chad made a special introduction: "This is Alec Baldwin, who will play the manager of the Continental Hotel in Rome."

He then introduced the blonde girl: "This is Alec's niece Hailey Baldwin, who will also play a role in the film."
