America achieves both fame and fortune

Chapter 609 Let Go of My Male God

After listening to Chad's introduction and chatting with Alec for a while, Martin got a general understanding of the Baldwin family's situation.

The Baldwin brothers are all well-known supporting actors in Hollywood.

The eldest son is Alec, the second son is William, and the third son, Stephen, is Hailey's father.

"In the film, you play the role of an old friend of mine."

The two had just met and didn't have much else to talk about, so Martin talked about their roles: "They will provide me with a lot of help."

Alec, a traditional actor, said, "I read the script carefully to get a feel for the character, and I even went to Rome last week."

Chad interjected, "It's a pity your role is all interior scenes, to be filmed in Brooklyn."

Alec added, "That's why I went to Rome specifically to experience the feeling of being a special Rome hotel owner."

Martin said, "I really look forward to working with you."

Alec laughed and replied, "Me too."

After a brief chat, Martin prepared to take his leave.

Hailey Baldwin, who had been sitting at the back of the table and ignored by everyone, suddenly spoke up: "Martin, can I take a picture with you?"

Martin said, "Okay."

Hailey tentatively asked, "Can I post a group photo on Twitter?" She added with a girlish sense of pride, "My classmates all know I'm on your set."

Martin nodded: "No problem."

Bruce took Hailey's Apple phone.

Hailey ran to Martin's side, took his arm with one hand, and smiled brighter than the sun.

Martin glanced down at Hailey; although she hadn't fully grown up yet, she already vaguely resembled what she would look like when she grew up.

In the last few years of his previous life, he often saw this face online. He vaguely remembered that back then, she wasn't called Hailey Baldwin, but Hailey Bieber.

She appears to be Ding Ritian's wife.

Hailey smiled at Martin and said, "Our sorority is absolutely in awe of you."

Martin offered a word of encouragement: "You will also be a successful actor."

"I will!" Hailey pumped her fist and said, "I will definitely become a star."

Bruce gave a reminder, and after the two posed, he took three photos in a row and returned the phone to Hailey.

Perhaps because she comes from a family of actors, she knows some taboos. Hailey tweeted in front of Martin and then tagged Martin Davis.

Martin's official Twitter account is usually maintained by Jessica, and he rarely checks it.

At that moment, he also took out his phone, logged into Twitter, and followed Hailey.

Martin put away his phone, shook hands with Alec, and left the conference room.

Hailey's phone started ringing.

Her tweet was flooded with comments.

"My God, I'm so envious! You actually took a picture with Martin!"

"My crush's arm is now wrapped around yours!"

"Let go of Martin, it's my turn!"

The comments her classmates left on Twitter gave Hailey an indescribable sense of satisfaction, and she said, "You all get out of my way, Martin is mine now."

Alec came over and called to his niece, "Let's go."

…………

Martin took the elevator downstairs and had just reached the lobby on the first floor when Bruce received a call from overseas.

After answering the call, he said a few words, covered the phone, and said, "It's Alexandrovich on the phone."

Martin took the phone and said, "This is Martin Davis."

A voice in accented English came from the other end: "Hello, Martin, I'm Alexandrovich."

He got straight to the point: "I returned to Kyiv from Paris and discussed the project with my partner, director and screenwriter Marius. Marius agreed to rewrite the script according to your wishes, and we are willing to film the project in English."

This result was exactly as Martin had predicted; Hollywood in the United States is extremely attractive to Ukrainian professionals in related fields.

Alexandrovich continued, "Now that I've reached an agreement with Marius, can I go to the United States to discuss the script adaptation with you?"

Martin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, you should come directly to New York. I'm currently filming a new movie there. Call me when you get there."

Alexandrovich replied, "We'll make preparations now, and we'll arrive in New York in a week at most."

Martin will be filming most of his movies in New York, with only a few location shots in Rome, so he immediately said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Alexandrovich pumped his fist and yelled at Marius, "We're going to America! We're going to Hollywood! Dude, are you ready for an Oscar?"

Marius was equally excited, shouting, "Are you ready to be an Oscar winner?"

"I want to be the Best Actor!" Alexandrovich was overjoyed. "You're the Best Director!"

The two hugged each other and laughed heartily.

America, that's their beacon.

…………

After lunch, Martin went to his apartment on the Upper East Side. He hadn't been there for a while and almost went to the wrong floor.

After Lily arrived in New York, although she didn't live here, she made a special trip to clean and tidy up the apartment.

This apartment was bought from Brad Pitt at a super low price. In the past two years, the American economy has improved and the real estate market has also recovered. The apartment is now worth three times what it was when it was bought.

If you go by that logic, Brad Pitt is a good guy too.

Martin recalls that Pete received a reduced sentence for his active prosecution of Harvey Weinstein and is expected to be released by the end of the year.

Knowing that Brad Pitt had squandered his fortune on fines and compensation and might face financial difficulties after his release, Martin felt he should lend a hand.

He plans to wait until he returns to Los Angeles to talk to his old neighbor Jenna Jones and recommend a very talented Saint Valley actor to her.

The Saint Gabriel Valley, a place brimming with artistic atmosphere, would surely welcome Brad Pitt.

Martin checked out the liquor cabinet and kitchen, then went out on a shopping spree with Bruce to prepare for the party that evening.

Alcohol and various fruit juices are naturally indispensable.

Martin also called Taylor to prepare changes of clothes for them in advance.

Taylor told Martin directly that there was no need to go through all that trouble, as they had already prepared spare clothes.

After the various items Martin had purchased were delivered, he took a nap, as he might be sleeping very late that night and needed to maintain sufficient energy and stamina.

At 5:30 p.m., Martin drove himself and arrived at Taylor's apartment building on time.

After waiting a few minutes, four women dragging suitcases came out of the door and got into the car one after another.

Taylor got into the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and shouted, "Let's go! Let's go! Our party is starting!"

Martin drove away, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to embark on a fantastic journey."

Karlie Kloss pulled her hair back and said casually, "Taylor has been bragging to us these past few days about how wonderful it is to be with you, how good you are at causing trouble..."

Martin glanced at Taylor, wondering what these girls were talking about in private. Was it really that outrageous?

Carly added, "Martin, you won't let us little fans down, right?"

Before Martin could answer, Cara Delevingne leaned over to the driver's seat and said to him, "I'm your biggest fan, and I'm going to achieve the ultimate feat of being a die-hard fan!"

Martin suddenly remembered Toni.

"Do you know what the ultimate achievement of a die-hard fan is?" Kara asked herself, answering, "It's getting involved with your idol!"

These girls were so bold and open that Martin wasn't going to be outdone: "I guarantee you'll never forget this party for the rest of your lives."

Selena extended a hand and said, "It's not that we don't believe you, it's just four against one!"

Martin laughed heartily: "I wouldn't be afraid even if it doubled."

He glanced at Taylor: "With such a great opportunity tonight, you should write another song, one specifically for our party."

Taylor blinked and said, "I'm currently lacking inspiration. I need you to inject some inspiration into me."

"Sure thing." Martin turned the car around, and the car quickly arrived near the apartment building. He drove directly into the underground parking lot.

He contacted Bruce, who was following behind, to confirm that no paparazzi or reporters had followed, before inviting the four of them out of the car.

Taylor and the others each grabbed their suitcases and followed Martin into the elevator, arriving at his apartment.

"Wow, we can see the whole of Central Park from here!" Selena exclaimed, dropping her suitcase and walking to the living room's floor-to-ceiling window. Pointing to the theater faintly visible in the distance, she said, "That's where we gave Justin Bieber a good beating last night!"

Martin reminded them, "Girls, you haven't properly thanked me yet."

Karlie Kloss opened her suitcase, took out a small cardboard box, and tossed it to Martin: "This is for you!"

Martin caught it and said, "Carly, these sizes are a little small."

Cara Delevingne, a girl determined to achieve the highest level of fandom success, asked in surprise, "Really?"

Martin said, "I'm the kind of person who hates bragging the most."

Taylor suddenly had a flash of inspiration and quickly grabbed a pen and notebook, saying, "I just had a creative idea, but I couldn't quite grasp it. Carly, Kara, and Selena, hurry up, I need a stimulus to get inspiration!"

Cara Delevingne crouched down and moved over.

Selena Gomez lunged at her from the side.

Karlie Kloss attacked from behind.

Martin was immediately surrounded and attacked.

When the battle truly began, Taylor's vision and hearing were stimulated, and his inspiration finally exploded again. Listening to Carly's rhythmic chanting of God and Jesus, a melody leaped into his mind.

But these are not enough.

Taylor wrote down the melody, but then his inspiration vanished, so he decided to perform it himself.

Before long, Taylor's melodious singing voice drifted through the air.

When things quieted down, all five of them had exhausted themselves, so Martin went to the side to make a phone call and asked a nearby restaurant to deliver dinner directly to them.

Selena touched her lips and said, "Taylor is right, it really does nourish the voice."

Cara Delevingne nodded repeatedly.

Karlie Kloss said, "I don't know how to sing, I didn't feel it."

She stretched out her arms, very excited: "Taylor, it really was like you said, the experience was amazing!"

Dinner was served, and the four girls laughed and joked around with Martin again.
