American fame and fortune

Chapter 871 Let’s have some face

 The cooperation was not agreed upon, and Dwayne Johnson and his team quickly said goodbye and left.

Thomas said: "He seems to be very optimistic about the project you picked."

Thinking of his past memories, Martin said: "It's normal. The male protagonist in the original script fits the image he has always created."

 Judging from today's situation, if he hadn't discovered "Collapse" in advance and had the first choice within the WMA, this script would have been selected by Dwayne Johnson.

"Your priority in the company is the first." Thomas, whose status in the brokerage company was several levels higher than Raymond, said: "Don't worry about them, the project can be advanced as it should be."

 Martin put the matter aside for the time being and continued browsing the WMA database.

 This time, nothing was gained.

During this period, he received a call from Alexandra Daddario, asking him to go out for drinks at night.

 Martin agreed immediately and asked her to go directly to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

 Alexandra has finished filming "Sicario" and is participating in the post-production dubbing of the crew in Los Angeles.

 Raymond advised: "The copyright is already in the hands of Martin Davis. Even if we think about it, there is nothing we can do. The company has new scripts coming out every month, and we will eventually find one that suits you."

 Martin hung up the phone, left the office with Thomas, and went to the reception room next to him. Ali Emmanuel was waiting in the room.

 Even if Martin wants to change brokerage companies, he can just change careers with Martin.

 When we arrived at the bar, Ray Parker, who lived near Sunset Boulevard, had already arrived.

“I’m fine.” Johnson showed his trademark smile and took out his mobile phone to call someone: “Lei, what are you doing? Come out for a drink.”

 Leonardo said: "Okay, we'll wait for you."

"Tonight?" Martin pondered for a moment: "Okay, but please wait a moment, I want to talk to Emmanuel."

Besides, he is not the careless person he appears to be. Instead, he is prone to worrying about everything.

Alexandra responded: "I'll go over right away."

Emmanuel stood up and shook hands with Martin. Whether to renew the contract or not, the initiative rests entirely with the other party.

Johnson said: "Okay, see you at the bar in twenty minutes."

Martin turned around and called Alexandra again: "The plan has changed. You go to the Avalon Bar and wait for me first. By the way, Leo and Jack will also go there. If they go there first, you can wait for me together. a while."

 Martin smiled and said, “I hope we will have more pleasant cooperation in the future.”

Although other brokerage companies contacted him, they did not offer really attractive terms.

This year is Martin’s contract year. Thomas is not worried about the agency contract with Martin. He has seen clearly in the past few years that as long as he works seriously for Martin, Martin will not change agents.

The two of them were familiar with each other. Johnson dealt with them for a few words and then sent them away.

  It is no exaggeration to say that as WMA’s top client, the entire company is his nanny.

Back in the office of agent Raymond, Dwayne Johnson was not very happy. The promising project had already been bought by others, and his mood was not very good after all.

 Johnson shrugged and shook his chest. Because he was wearing a tight T-shirt, his strong pectoralis major muscles trembled: "What's the point of a girl with smaller **** than me? Touching her is better than touching myself."

 Johnson left the office, quickly went downstairs alone, drove his Mercedes-Benz G, and went straight to the Avalon Bar on Sunset Boulevard.

Damn California law. Look at our colleagues in South Korea. I’m so envious.

 It is better to use cooked than raw.

 But Ali-Emmanuel doesn’t think so. Martin is the signature of WMA, and the annual income he brings to the agency alone ranks first in Hollywood. As long as a brokerage company of some scale doesn’t want to poach Martin.

 It’s a pity that Katherine Daddario is not in Los Angeles, which is somewhat imperfect.

 Ray Parker, a friend he made during the filming of "Special Forces", replied: "Okay, I was thinking about going to a nightclub. Avalon Bar, I'll treat you."

Alexandra had just hung up the phone, and Martin's cell phone rang again, but it was Leonardo calling.

 Ley Parker stared at the long legs walking away and asked, "Why, I'm not interested in her."

 The WMA has no choice and Martin has many.

Avalon Bar and the Grapevine Manor opposite have always been nightclubs where Hollywood stars gather. It is located in Beverly Hills, where celebrities gather, and is one of the busiest areas in the Sunset Building.

Ray Parker couldn't help but laugh: "Most of the female stars in the industry are no longer in the ranks that you are interested in."

Hearing this, Emmanuel breathed a sigh of relief, but he has not yet completely relaxed. Martin will not be able to renew his management contract with WMA early next year.

 Martin has not thought about changing the brokerage company for the time being.

Ex-wife's manager Garcia knows Johnson better: "Go out for a walk, meet a few friends for a drink, and your mood will be better."

 Martin understood what he meant and said directly: "After the contract expires, I will renew my contract with WMA for another three years."

 …

Emmanuel also has the capital to win over Martin, saying: "Rahm will spare no effort to support you."

“Asshole, come out for a drink. Jack and I will go to the Avalon Bar in a while. Come over here!” He reminded Martin specifically: “Remember to bring a female companion.”

In the reception room, Emmanuel smiled and said to Martin: "We have cooperated very happily in the past few years. WMA's brokerage commission has always been the lowest level in the industry. Between us..."

 The two of them found a booth and ordered a bunch of wine.

Garcia patted Johnson's upper arm, which was thicker than her thigh: "Go, wine can take away your worries."

As soon as Johnson sat down, Gal Gadot, who starred with him in the "Fast and Furious" series, came over to say hello.

Johnson picked up the wine glass and had a drink with him: "Can you accept women with smaller **** than you?"

Ley Parker poured wine for the two of them again: "I hope you find someone older than you soon."

Johnson took another sip of wine.

 The two of them were chatting and drinking, and soon the bottle of wine was almost empty.

 With the drink welling up, Johnson was in a much better mood and started talking about the movie.

 Ray Parker asked with some worry: "Will there be a next "G.I. Joe" movie?"

Johnson shrugged: "Who knows, Paramount Pictures said that the commercial response was not good." He glanced at his friend opposite: "Hey, you played a masked man, and your face was never shown from beginning to end. ”

Ray Parker also drank a lot and scratched his head: "I am also an action director and stunt double. I was much better than Chad Starsky a few years ago. In the same crew, Chad can only give I'll be the deputy."

 He shook his head and sighed: "Look now, Chad is a front-line action film director with a net worth of tens of millions of dollars, but what about me? My career is still the same."

Johnson said: "You, like me, lack a perfect opportunity."

At this point, he remembered the script he had read today again, and for some reason, he felt that the movie starring him would be more successful than "Hercules".

This kind of strange intuition is hard to explain, but it has happened to many successful movie stars.

The two drank another drink. Ray Parker picked up the bottle and was about to pour the wine. He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were attracted by a woman walking from the opposite side.

The woman was wearing a dark short coat with a white T-shirt underneath that was tight on her body, highlighting her huge advantages, which made Ray Parker unconsciously think of Jennifer Connelly when riding a rocking horse.

  To be precise, more prominent than Jennifer Connelly. Ray Parker gestured with his chin: "Dawn, there's someone with bigger **** than you."

While talking, Alexandra Daddario quickly walked past the booth and came to an empty seat diagonally opposite. After sitting down, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message.

Now it’s Johnson looking diagonally at Alexandra.

This woman with ice-blue eyes like a husky, no matter her figure or appearance, are all in Johnson's aesthetic.

Johnson recognized who she was—Alexandra Daddario.

 The woman who is rumored to have had several affairs with Martin Davis.

Johnson wanted to get close to him, but he hesitated.

Ley Parker’s idea was very simple and he said: “If you like it, go and ask for the contact information.”

Johnson picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, took out his cell phone, and walked over there.

Before the person passed by, a signature smile appeared on his face, a smile that has been professionally designed and trained to easily induce trust and security in people.

 The early Johnson and the current Johnson look like two different people based on their appearance and demeanor.

When Johnson first entered Hollywood, he came across as very aggressive.

Now, he looks like a honest, upright and strong uncle next door.

 “Good evening, Alexandra.” Johnson greeted with a smile.

 Alexandra nodded: "Hello."

Johnson has some skills: "It's like this. I have a movie that I'm preparing for, and I need a heroine with a particularly outstanding appearance. I just saw you passing by me, and I thought you might be suitable."

He smiled and invited: "Can you give me your contact information? When the recruitment of actors starts, I can contact you for the audition."

Before she met Martin, Alexandra might not have refused, but Martin helped her play heroines in many films, which broadened her horizons. She immediately declined with a smile: "My schedule is full for the next two years. ”

Johnson's smile stiffened for a moment. Normally, he would have left. However, he hit a wall in the afternoon. He had just drank a lot, and his thoughts were different from usual.

 He added: “There is always one more choice.”

Alexandra said: "Thank you, no need."

Johnson did not leave, and was still entangled.

At the door of the bar, Leonardo and Nicholson each entered the bar with their female companions.

Following Leonardo is Australian actress Margot Robbie.

Nicholson brought not Jennifer Lawrence, but her daughter Lorraine.

 Leonardo caught up with Nicholson in front of him and asked, "Why did you bring Lorraine here?"

Nicholson raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "Of course it is to cultivate the relationship between her and Martin so that they can get married as soon as possible."

Lorraine rolled her eyes helplessly: "You three can cause trouble as you like, but can you please stop dragging me in?"

Nicholson said: "Now there is no one to deal with but Martin."

Lorraine said: "Because you three have a bad reputation, no one wants to mess with you."

Margot Robbie reminded: "Is that the female companion that Martin mentioned, Alexandra Daddario? It seems that someone is pestering her."

“That **** Martin won’t arrive until later, let’s go over and have a look.” Leonardo walked forward first.

Nicolson followed.

Out of habit over the past few years, Lorraine immediately took out her phone and turned on the camera.

 Mainly because the trio of **** are constantly messing with people, and if you hesitate a little, you may miss a good opportunity to earn a lot of pocket money.

 …

Facing the drunken Johnson’s entanglement, Alexandra gradually became impatient and said directly: “Please respect yourself!”

Johnson's head was shaken to the point of dizziness. He regained consciousness for a moment and was about to say a few words to keep his face when someone suddenly came quickly from behind.

An old man with a bulging belly, slicked back hair, and wearing sunglasses in the bar stood between Johnson and Alexandra.

Nicholson has a very senior qualification and is the mascot of the Academy and the Oscars. When he saw this muscular man entangled with his brother's mistress, he naturally had a bad tone: "Man, can't you hear that this lady has repeatedly rejected you? Show some face."

The appearance of Nicholson and Leonardo has attracted countless eyeballs. Many people turned their heads and looked here.

  Johnson was a little embarrassed when he was called shameless in front of a large audience: "I'm inviting Miss Daddario to play a role!"

He explained by looking condescendingly at Nicholson, who was slightly stooped: "Please pay attention to what you say!"

 Seeing that the situation was not good, Ray Parker immediately came to Johnson's side.

Leonardo also rushed over: "It is not a gentleman to harass a lady like this. You should apologize to her."

 Lorraine chose a good angle and skillfully used her mobile phone to shoot.

Margot Robbie looked back at the door of the bar, just in time to see Martin coming in, and quickly waved over there.

 Martin saw what happened, and also saw Johnson, who had a bald head and almost exploding muscles on his body, and ran over quickly.

 The sound of footsteps attracted more attention.

　In the eyes of many people, Hollywood stars are mostly wealthy, leisurely and low-quality people.

Maybe not in other places, but in the most famous nightclub in Los Angeles, it is almost recognized.

There are too many Hollywood stars who get into fights because of drinking too much or other matters.

 Avalon has long been used to it and did not deal with it immediately.

They are experienced, and when the anger between the two parties is really vented on each other, it will not be too late for the people from the bar to show up again.

 You can ask for compensation at will, and you don’t have to worry about quarrels or fights affecting the bar’s business. Instead, it will attract more people.

At this moment, the trio of **** arrived, and the melon-eaters were all excited. Many people even gathered around, wanting to eat a big and sweet melon.

 Martin came to Leonardo, glanced at Daddario opposite, and asked, "What's going on?"

Leonardo was succinct: “This **** is harassing Alexandra.”

 Alexandra on the opposite side nodded to Martin.

 Martin turned his eyes to Johnson and said forcefully: "Apologise to her."

"I just invited Miss Daddario to play a role." There were people around. How could Johnson apologize in this situation? Moreover, Martin's tone made him very unhappy, so he couldn't help but say one more sentence under the influence of alcohol: "I remember Martin, your girlfriend is Miss Elizabeth Olsen, right? When did the person change?"

 Johnson is not afraid if he really wants to take action. Not to mention himself, Ray Parker has won the All-British Martial Arts Championship.
