America achieves both fame and fortune

Chapter 169 The Look of True Love (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Martin took the CD from Thomas and examined the cover closely; the person on it was all too familiar.

I didn't watch the last two movies on the disc, so I don't remember them very clearly, but I have a very deep impression of the main plot of the first movie.

This is one of the Hong Kong films he has watched the most since 2000.

It can be called the last glory of Hong Kong films.

"Gangster films adapted from Hong Kong movies and localized..." Thomas explained the recent situation in detail.

Martin had also seen "The Departed" and was certain that Thomas's information was accurate, such as the Irish mob in Boston.

Thomas asked again, "What about Pacific Films?"

Martin said, "Louise and Pacific Pictures will be focusing their efforts on the compilation of 'Wanted,' which has greater potential."

Thomas prioritized the issue: "I'll look into Plan B again." He specifically mentioned, "For Scorsese's project, the audition results have a greater impact on the role, but if the acting skills are similar, there are too many factors that determine the outcome. Plan B will be the third largest investor, and I'm preparing to contact people from Plan B."

Martin immediately thought of the two biggest shareholders in Plan B: "Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston?"

"I can only get in touch with the managers of Plan B," Thomas said. "I heard that Scorsese was interested in casting Pitt as the second lead, but Pitt declined."

Martin thought for a moment and said, "I need a Boston accent tutor, as well as information on the Boston Police Department's regulations and organizational structure." Since he was trying to get it, he wanted to do his best: "Ideally, I'd also like a history of the Boston mob over the past decade or so."

Thomas replied, "I'll take care of it."

After the New Year, Martin will be 24 years old, and if he remembers correctly, Leonardo will be 30.

Based on the character's background in "The Departed", he is actually more in line with the age setting.

These are not the deciding factors.

In Los Angeles, there are countless teachers who teach various accents. Martin met a middle-aged female teacher who spoke with a Boston accent that afternoon, practiced Boston pronunciation with her, and received a large stack of audio teaching materials.

After mastering the Hollywood accent, he began new accent training.

In Hollywood, many film crews also use numbers like 1234567 during filming.

For example, Depp's memory has long been ravaged by alcohol and flour, and his lines are all useless.

However, Martin Scorsese's crew insisted on on-set recordings, with accents matching the characters' backgrounds.

Thomas, carrying a heavy burden, had an appointment that evening with the casting directors for "Gangs of New York" and "The Aviator." She had already collaborated with Martin Scorsese twice, and the possibility of them working together again was very high.

Martin also had a date; Anne had arranged to meet him that evening at the Graffiti Observatory.

…………

In a suite at the Hilton Hotel.

Standing in front of the vanity mirror, Annie carefully applied her makeup and asked Laura, "Is it okay?"

Laura exclaimed, "So beautiful, Anne! Martin was right, you are a true princess."

"Is everything ready?" Anne asked.

Laura leaned closer and said, "You just need to confess your feelings, leave the rest to me. I've already notified the person."

Anne then asked, "Do you think Griffith Park is a suitable location?"

"It couldn't be more perfect," Laura said. "There's the Hollywood Hills there, and you can see the whole of Los Angeles from the observatory. Celebrities often go there on dates, so it's only natural that a reporter would capture you confessing your feelings."

Anne nodded: "That's good, we need to leave a good impression on Martin."

Laura pointed to the clothes laid out on the hanger: "Let's change, it's almost time."

Anne chose a white shirt and slim-fit jeans, deliberately dressing like a girl next door to avoid putting pressure on the man.

Then, the two went downstairs, got into the hotel car, and set off.

Anne asked Laura to double-check: "Call the entertainment reporters and paparazzi again, make sure there's no mistake."

Laura took out her phone and made a call.

On the other side, Bruce was driving a Volkswagen, approaching the Hollywood Hills.

Martin glanced at the Hollywood sign in the distance and asked, "Were they notified?"

Bruce said, "I used a public phone to call gossip magazines like American Rumors, and I also called Jody's paparazzi. There were bound to be a few of them going up the mountain."

He urged, "I spoke with Jody the day before yesterday, and she said you need to make some new progress; ordinary street auctions aren't going to fetch any more bids."

Martin understood the business logic behind it: "I think it's about time."

Bruce knew this jerk's plan: "Can't you be a decent human being? You expect the girl to make the first move when you're confessing your feelings?"

Martin said, "This shows that I take responsibility."

Upon arriving at the park parking lot, Bruce parked his car, glanced at the time, and grabbed a can of beer.

Martin went up the mountain first, and he followed behind.

Griffith Observatory is one of Los Angeles' iconic buildings. Martin arrived at the park plaza in front of the observatory, looked around, and noticed that some faces in the crowd of tourists looked familiar.

The paparazzi and entertainment reporters have arrived.

After waiting for a while, Martin saw Anne enter the square and went to greet her.

The paparazzi and entertainment reporters around them had already spotted the two people and followed them without prior arrangement.

At the edge of the square, Laura was looking for a quiet place when she suddenly noticed a familiar person sitting on a bench next to her.

Bruce saw her too and nodded slightly: "What a coincidence."

Laura smiled and said, "What a coincidence."

Both of them looked at Martin and Anne in the distance.

Martin and Anne grew closer.

Suddenly, Martin turned around and looked back, as if someone was calling him from behind.

When Anne saw him stop, she quickened her pace and, by the time Martin turned around, she was already in front of him, opened her arms, and threw herself into Martin's arms.

Martin hugged Anne.

Without the slightest hesitation, afraid of losing this golden opportunity, Anne eagerly said, "Martin, I've been thinking about you these past few days. Let's date!"

Martin, adhering to the principle of being a good person who neither refuses nor takes initiative, and makes no promises, simply nodded vigorously.

Annie smiled happily, as if she could see a bright future: promising prospects and financial success.

She tilted her head back and closed her eyes slightly.

In this situation, how could the kind-hearted Martin refuse maliciously? He lowered his head and kissed her red lips.

Not far away, flashes of light went off one after another.

Entertainment reporters and paparazzi are very excited. It's now confirmed that Hollywood has gained another pair of adulterers!

The moment their lips touched, feeling each other's warmth, Annie opened her eyes, parted her lips, and buried her face in Martin's arms: "I'm so happy."

She jerked her shoulders violently, trembling in Martin's arms as if she were too excited to control herself.

Martin hugged her tightly and gently stroked her temples.

The flash was constantly on.

Anne was worried that she wouldn't be able to get a good shot of her face, so she adjusted the angle several times to ensure the camera could capture her perfect profile.

What an enviable and jealous love story!

This is what true love should be like.

Finally, the two parted ways.

Anne's beautiful, large eyes stared intently at Martin, her gaze fixed solely on him.

Martin gently stroked Anne's cheek with his fingers, his eyes welling with tears: "Annie, do you know? I saved the world in my past life!"

Annie, confused, asked, "Saving the Earth?"

Martin added, "That's why I was able to win the favor of my goddess in this life."

The sweet words made Annie purse her red lips. At this moment, she couldn't tell whether her heart was touched or her acting skills were on full display. She was completely immersed in the emotion.

With a powerful leap, she threw herself into Martin's arms.

No longer caring about any plans, she took the initiative to look up and ask for a kiss, and kissed Martin for a long time.

At the edge of the square, Laura gently wiped away her tears, deeply moved.

With a snap, Bruce opened his beer, thinking to himself, "This is the Martin Davis who conquered female producers with sheer talent."

Laura exclaimed excitedly, "The princess and the prince are finally together!"

Bruce simply nodded mechanically.

Snow White and the Prince? I remember in the first edition of the fairy tale I read, the prince wasn't a good person.

He was so bored that he couldn't help but fantasize that if Anne played Snow White and Martin played the prince with some kind of fetish, and they filmed it according to the original fairy tale, it would be very exciting.

The two people in the square then ended their long kiss, intertwined their fingers, and walked towards the observation deck of Griffith Observatory.

Bruce automatically followed behind.

Laura followed.

Martin pulled Anne along quickly: "Let's go see the Los Angeles night view and announce to the whole of Los Angeles that Martin Davis and Anne Hathaway are together."

Anne stayed close to him, her eyes truly fixed on Martin.

The two entered the observatory, laughing as they walked through the hall and went up the stairs together.

After walking a few steps forward, Martin saw that no one was around, then suddenly turned around and lowered his head.

Anne tiptoed and gently kissed Martin on the cheek.

As Annie reached the corner of the stairs, she slowed down: "I'm tired."

Martin pointed to the stairs leading upwards and turned around: "I'll carry you on my back."

"Mmm!" Annie was very happy. She climbed a few steps up, jumped onto Martin's back, and hugged his neck tightly.

Martin carried Anne on his back and ran all the way up to the observation deck.

There was no one on the platform at the moment, so the two of them went to the edge of the observation deck, where the nine huge letters of Hollywood were right across from them.

Martin put Anne down, spread his arms wide like a megaphone, and shouted down, "Thank you, Anne! Thank you for your favor!"

Anne stood close to Martin and shouted back, "Anne Hathaway loves Martin Davis! Forever!"

People came up from below, heard their shouts, and weren't surprised.

This place is considered a romantic spot for couples in Los Angeles, and young couples often come here to have fun.

Martin and Annie snuggled together, admiring the Los Angeles night view and talking quietly.

After a while, they went downstairs together.

As they passed the restroom, Annie said, "I'm going to the restroom."

Martin nodded.

Anne went into the restroom, saw Laura, and snapped out of her daze.

The latter asked, "Do you have any juicy gossip to share?"

Anne whispered a few words, then quickly came out of the bathroom and took Martin's arm outside.

Laura waited a while before slipping out of the restroom and coming to the outside of the planetarium, where she spotted some familiar paparazzi and went to find them.

The paparazzi handed her $50.

Laura said, "Do you know why Annie is so excited? Martin said he must have saved the world in his past life to earn Annie's favor in this one!"
