America achieves both fame and fortune

Chapter 258 Stimulation

The two groups, the Foot Gang and the Face Gang, did not cross paths again that night and each left in their own cars.

Martin returned to his home in the Coty community, where Blake greeted him as he entered, taking his coat and hanging it on the hanger.

She deliberately fanned the air in front of her nose and said, "Such a strong perfume scent."

Martin roughly said, "Leo, old Jack, called Wes Craven and me to the Nightclub to talk about something."

Blake remained composed, asking casually, "A strip club?"

Martin revealed some facts about his time at the club: "I was preparing for a new project, and a British director sent me some information. Leo had starred in one of his films before, and I asked him about Leo's background."

He poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and said, "Wes Craven is very experienced; even a casual suggestion from him can save me from making many mistakes."

"I'm so happy you're home." Blake suddenly walked over and asked, "You must be tired?"

Martin assumed she was referring to work: "It's alright, compared to planning an arrest warrant..."

He stopped before he could finish speaking.

Blake squatted down, pulled out his belt, and clicked his tongue in amazement: "Sure enough, you endured a lot of hardship."

What else could Martin say? Idols have to fulfill the demands of their female fans!

In Blake's eyes, Martin was God's most perfect masterpiece, and every part of him was a top-notch work of art.

It's so delicate that you'd be afraid to hold it in your hands for fear of dropping it, and afraid to keep it in your mouth for fear of it melting away; you can only swallow it down.

The following morning, after breakfast, Blake began packing his luggage.

"Work is so annoying, and we've only just started dating," she complained as she picked up her clothes. "That author in New York is out of his mind; he insists on seeing for himself whether I'm a good fit."

Martin comforted him, saying, "Youth is the best time to develop your career. When we get old, no one will hire us if we want to find opportunities."

Blake listened to Martin's advice, and after packing her clothes, she went to pack her cosmetics.

In Martin's master bedroom, most of the items in the walk-in closet and jewelry room belong to Blake.

Male celebrities need a lot, but it's nothing compared to female celebrities.

Blake put on the Cartier watch Martin had given him and said, "That female author said the work was based on her real experiences, but I've read her biography. She was just an ordinary person when she was young, and only later did she move to the Upper East Side."

Upon hearing this, Martin asked, "What's the name of her work?"

Blake replied, "It's called Gossip Girl. It's about a bitch on the Upper East Side and the little bitches around her fighting each other."

Martin took her makeup bag and patted her pert bottom: "Go and do your best. Don't throw a tantrum. If you don't get it, I'll deal with you when you get back."

Like a little girl, Blake looked pitiful and then her eyes welled up with tears. She leaned over and licked her crush, asking, "How are you going to punish me?"

Seeing that there was still time, Martin decided to demonstrate it himself so that she would realize the seriousness of the problem.

We must use the big stick to discipline people!

An hour later, Martin personally drove Blake to the airport to meet Ernie Lively.

Blake behaved himself, even sitting in the passenger seat and taking the opportunity to take a nap to replenish his depleted mental and physical energy.

Martin met Ernie in front of the international airport terminal.

This father is extremely worried about his daughter's career. Just last month, he secured the rights to a script and persuaded Warner Bros. to give him the green light. He then rushed to New York to buy the film and television adaptation rights to another novel.

Martin shook hands with Ernie: "I wish you a safe trip."

Ernie suddenly said, "Let's talk when I get back from New York."

Martin didn't understand what he meant, but remained expressionless: "No problem."

Blake came over and kissed him, then followed his father through the security checkpoint.

Martin drove away from the airport and before he even reached Burbank, he received a call from Julie.

"I just saw the news online; you went to the airport to see Blake off," Julie asked very seriously. "You two haven't broken up, have you?"

Martin replied irritably, "We have a great relationship, of course we haven't broken up."

Julie exclaimed excitedly, "To the hotel, the usual place!"

Martin thought to himself, "It's really not easy to get a vacation."

…………

At a hotel near the Kodak Theatre, the three big stars of the Foot Clan—Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck—were all dressed in formal attire, preparing to attend the North American premiere of The Weinstein Company's "The Breakup Guru."

This romantic thriller, starring Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen, will open in theaters across North America this weekend.

Harvey Weinstein went to great lengths to obtain the film's distribution rights, and naturally wanted to make a profit.

Compared to his previous award-contending films, Crossing the Line has a stronger commercial flavor.

To promote his work, he pulled out all the stops.

Brad Pitt was invited to the premiere of Aniston's movie, and the two were scheduled to walk the red carpet at remarkably close times.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were also brought in by Javier to cheer them on.

In the lounge, Harvey was waiting to depart.

Damon came in from outside, sat down opposite him, and asked, "Do you think your film will be number one at the box office this week?"

Harvey leaned back in his armchair, his large belly protruding: "Perhaps there's hope, which is why I used Pitt and Aniston to create buzz."

He could roughly guess what Damon, this relatively dull guy, was thinking: "I know you don't like Martin Davis, but it's not easy to mess with Martin. He's a profit-generating machine in the hands of Pacific Films and Warner Bros. now."

Matt Damon may not like Martin, but it's not to the point of a life-or-death struggle over a role.

Harvey added, "Hollywood's ups and downs are normal. When his momentum fades, we won't be the only ones who want to kick him off the cliff."

Damon suddenly looked outside and saw Pitt getting his hair and makeup done.

That afternoon, when Pitt walked the red carpet for the premiere of "Derailment," the audience erupted in cheers.

Pitt appeared at Aniston's premiere!

Aniston, who was being interviewed in the media area, immediately turned pale, hurriedly finished her interview, went into the theater, and found her agent, Steve.

"Why didn't the production team, producers, and distributors contact me? Did they ever respect me?" Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston have considerable influence and resources.

She was furious, swearing profusely: "Why did they let that piece of trash, that scumbag, appear at the premiere?"

The agent could only offer words of comfort: "I don't know either. They didn't inform me, perhaps out of good intentions, to create a news sensation and attract viewers."

Aniston was furious: "Go tell them not to let that bastard come within five meters of me, or I'm leaving immediately and calling a press conference."

Perhaps because Friends had such a smooth run for the past ten years, her temperament and personality are milder compared to someone like Jolie.

The experiences of the past six months have made Aniston gradually realize that in Hollywood, gentleness is definitely not a good quality; it will only lead to bullying.

She was also adjusting her tone: "Steve, ask him who hired him."

The agent doesn't want to be one.

Aniston stared at him coldly.

Steve could only make a phone call, find out the details, and then say, "Harvey invited them."

Aniston started to provoke: "From now on, if you receive any role offers from Horizons or The Weinstein Company, reject them all, regardless of the project or the role!"

There are many people in this circle who don't work with the Weinstein brothers, so she simply blacklisted them.

Seeing that she was angry, Steve didn't know how to appease her, so he changed the subject: "I've found out some information about Martin that you asked me to inquire about."

Aniston, already furious, asked directly, "Martin Davis and Jolie are having an affair?"

Steve nodded: "It should be. I asked around with the crew of the wanted poster. He saw Martin and Julie get on the same trailer more than once, and then the trailer shook violently. It couldn't be anything else but that."

He had a bad feeling: "Jane, what are you going to do?"

Aniston said coldly, "Some people haven't been hurt, yet they're making a scene. I've been genuinely hurt, so why can't I defend myself?"

Fearing she might act impulsively, Steve advised her again, "If anything happens, be sure to tell me, and we'll discuss it together."

Aniston responded and asked, "Is there anything else with Martin Davis?"

"Then there's the movie. The Wanted movie premiered last week and it was a huge hit," Steve recalled something. "Oh, right, a friend of mine at WMA mentioned that Martin Davis is pushing for a brand new movie project, based on Alan Grylls' novel The Dark Area."

Aniston took note and specifically said, "Have someone find me a copy."

Steve asked, "Are you interested in Martin's project?"

Aniston, however, said, "I'm only interested in success. Friends is over, it's not coming back, am I supposed to retire early?"

Steve's most valuable client is Aniston, and he certainly doesn't want her to retire prematurely. Although she has hundreds of millions in assets, she is no longer included in the agent's commission.

He said, "Martin Davis has had several successful films in a row, and his momentum is very strong. Working with him is better than working with those arthouse actors."

Aniston's film appearances are generally at a reduced price. For example, in "Departures," the total investment was only $2200 million, but Aniston's salary was only $500 million.

Of course, for a billionaire woman who earns over 2000 yuan a year from the dividends of "Friends," none of this matters.

Aniston controlled her temper and said, "Keep an eye on Martin's side. If you can get your hands on the script, bring it to me so I can take a look."

Steve said, "I'll get someone to help."

Today, Brad Pitt walked the red carpet for the premiere of "Departures," which greatly provoked Aniston, causing her to deliberately put the pain out of her mind, waiting for time to slowly fade it before it resurfaced.

Aniston didn't enter the screening room to attend the premiere until Steve had finished communicating with the film's distributors.
