America achieves both fame and fortune

Chapter 374 The Tenderness of That Push

With the arrival of summer, the weather in Atlanta is getting hotter and hotter.

In the early morning, Hibi left the studio and went to the commercial area of ​​the Gray Film Center, where she went into the cold drink shop she had frequented over the past two days.

She ordered a nonfat ice cream, found an empty seat, and began to eat slowly.

In the booths behind them, women were discussing celebrity gossip.

"When the Indiana Jones crew was filming here a few months ago, Spielberg's godson tried to seduce the female lead, Blanchett."

A middle-aged woman with a clear voice chimed in: "Big stars have all undergone professional training to unleash their true nature. They are all emotionally expressive and more easily moved than ordinary people. They always like to mess around."

The woman speaking behind had a hoarse voice: "That's perfectly normal. You guys live in Atlanta all year round, so you don't see much of the world. I've been to New York and London with the film crew, and I've seen far too many male and female leads on set getting together."

The somewhat rough voice protested, saying, "I personally saw Martin Davis get into Angelina Jolie's trailer and heard Jolie's unrestrained screams. Everyone thinks they only got together last year, but they actually got together while filming 'Wanted' here."

Another person asked curiously, "Did Aniston join then?"

"Probably not."

"Martin is really something, he managed to take down those two arch-enemies all by himself."

The two men were clearly from Atlanta and were quite pleased with themselves.

Originally, Heby was enjoying ice cream and gossiping about Blanchett, Martin, and Julie, having a wonderful time.

But upon hearing this, she loosened her grip, the spoon fell into the ice cream bucket, and her ears perked up.

The other person covered their mouth and laughed, lowering their voice: "Is Bell not up to it anymore?"

These words turned Hibi's face dark, and a fire began to rage within him.

She briefly worked as Winona Ryder's personal assistant in the 1990s, and her relationship with Bell was also due to Winona's introduction.

I've heard and seen plenty of stories about Hollywood stars breaking up and getting back together, or on-set couples.

If it were just Bell and Blanchett getting together, Hiby would be angry, but not to this extent.

But Bell deceived her!

Hibby remembers very clearly that Bell said the tear was caused by an accident during filming. At the time, she had some doubts, but she still chose to believe Bell.

These people didn't sound like they were lying, because aside from Blanchett causing Bell's tearing, Hiby had heard about all the other things, and they were almost identical to the versions she had heard.

What these three people said was true.

"Don't talk nonsense. Bale is at the studio. He might come and tear your mouths apart."

"There are so many rumors about Bell because he's here. If he weren't here, who would want to talk about him?"

The slightly gruff voice said, "In the Dark Knight crew I'm in, Bell and Martin clearly have a conflict. Martin is a nice guy and easygoing with everyone in the crew, but Bell always has a sour face and doesn't like anyone, especially Martin. Even when Martin talks to him with a smile, he gives Martin a stiff, cold face."

The man with the hoarse voice said, "Because of Heath Ledger, you've all heard about Heath Ledger's drug-driving incident in New York, right? It's said that Bale put pressure on Martin and Aniston back then, and that's when the feud started."

The slightly gruff voice said, "That's right, I was on the set of The Dark Knight, and I've heard a lot of people talk about it, and not just these. Bale dislikes Martin because he strongly recommended Heath Ledger for the Joker, but Ledger was rejected because of his drug addiction. The production team cast Martin instead, and Bale felt that Martin had replaced his friend, so he's always been at odds with Martin."

Although Hibi was furious, she did not lose her temper and could tell that the gossip the other person was talking about was very reliable.

Because that's the kind of conflict she knew between Martin and Bell.

The man who rarely spoke then asked, "Why is Bell helping Heath Ledger so much? This kind of thing isn't common in Hollywood, is it?"

The slightly gruff voice said, "There are quite a few, Leonardo and Tobey Maguire, Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone helping Robert Downey Jr.."

The man with the hoarse voice lowered his voice slightly: "I worked on the set of Indiana Jones 4, and I occasionally heard Blanchett's assistant mention something: the relationship between Bale and Heath Ledger was quite unusual."

The man who rarely spoke understood her meaning: "Rainbow?"

"It's not just a rainbow, it's two-way," the hoarse voice said. "One of Blanchett's assistants said it, and it should be true. Think about it, similar gossip circulating in the industry has all become true, like Martin having a threesome with Jolie and Aniston."

A slightly gruff voice replied, "That explains it."

The person who rarely speaks asks, "Who takes the initiative and who is passive?"

The man with the hoarse voice said, "In Brokeback Mountain, Heath Ledger was number 1, I think."

"vomit……"

A sudden retching sound rang out. The three glanced at each other in surprise, then continued their gossip, shifting their focus back to Morgan Freeman and his granddaughter.

Hibi covered her mouth; the ice cream she had just eaten was churning wildly in her stomach, making her feel nauseous.

For some reason, what she hates most is homosexuality.

Finally, Hibi couldn't hold it in any longer and rushed into the toilet, vomiting violently into the toilet bowl.

The gossip circulating on set is often quite true. For example, in the 1990s, rumors circulated on set that Winona had a kleptomania problem. Most people, including many media reporters, thought it was nonsense, but Sheby knew it was true.

Shebi had heard a lot of the gossip those people were talking about and thought it was true, so she believed the part about Bell and Heath Ledger was also true.

Whether Bell is 1 or 0, Siby can't stand it.

She vomited violently, not only bringing up the ice cream she had eaten, but also almost bringing up her stomach acid.

After finishing their ice cream, the three gossipy middle-aged women continued their discussion about the film crew and celebrities before leaving the ice cream shop together.

Inside the shop, there were so many people like them, eating and gossiping.

This is human nature; in a film studio area, where people gather together, the conversation naturally revolves around celebrity gossip.

The three of them went their separate ways. The man with the hoarse voice took out his phone and made a call: "Teacher, it's all done."

Meanwhile, Robert was chatting with Andrew from Gray Pictures in the lounge of Gray Film Center, and said softly, "I understand."

He sent Bruce a short message with just one letter.

The man with the hoarse voice returned to his film crew; he still had work to do later.

Robert and Andrew chatted for a while about Martin. Both of them were old acquaintances of Martin, and they talked about it with great emotion.

Not long after, Robert said goodbye and left. As he exited the studio, he happened to see Bruce. He rolled down his car window and nodded to Bruce.

The two exchanged a few words briefly.

Bruce understood that the deed was done, and the outcome depended on the parties involved.

Robert drove his Cadillac away from the Gray Film Center.

Bruce bought some things at the convenience store, then drove his electric scooter back to the film set.

The Joker is holding a meeting with Gotham's mob bosses.

Martin's performance became increasingly refined, and he was in top form. Although the scenes had to be filmed several times before they were approved, it was mostly because the director asked for multiple takes so that the best ones could be used in post-production.

When it was time for a break, Martin went into the lounge, and Bruce went over to see the screenwriter, who had gone to Nolan's side. He said, "That one was pushed out."

Martin asked curiously, "Did you have any reaction?"

"I had someone specifically research it. Sheby had briefly worked as Winona Ryder's assistant before and was extremely averse to homosexuals." Bruce's strategy was always targeted: "So, I fabricated a rumor that they were gay, and spread it in a way that was 99% true and 1% false."

He then answered Martin's question: "Hibbie gagged on the spot and then ran into the toilet."

Martin touched the paint off his face and said, "I see..."

Bruce cautioned, "Hibbie's first love was stolen by a gay man, so she hates homosexuals very much, and I don't think she can stand it."

Martin laughed: "Keep an eye on Bell's side. We'll be the good guys and bring the rest of the crew along to watch the fun."

Bruce quickly went somewhere else.

When the crew finished filming, Martin suddenly saw Bruce appear at the studio entrance and quickly went over to him.

Someone ran in from outside and whispered in the ears of acquaintances, and many crew members walked outside.

Martin followed them.

The screenwriter, with his keen sense of timing, immediately followed the crowd.

Outside the studio, several trailers belonging to the film crew were parked in the open space. From one of them, a heated argument could be heard.

That's Bell's rest trailer.

"It's fake, all those rumors are true."

Bell quickly protested, "This isn't real!"

"I've had enough of your lies!" Hibi opened her bag, took out the statue she had just used two days ago, and threw it away forcefully.

With a thud, the statue smashed onto Bell's head.
