America achieves both fame and fortune

Chapter 686 Too Much Medicine

On the yacht, Leonardo finished firing the last firework, stretched contentedly, and let out a series of strange noises, like a goat in heat.

Martin looked up at the Lazy Sheep scattering in the sky and asked, "Shall we turn back?"

"Let's go!" Nicholson returned to the driver's seat and steered the yacht back, shouting as he went, "The fireworks tonight were fantastic. I hope Depp will like the wedding gift we gave him."

Leonardo, sitting on a sofa to one side, said, "I've discovered that we're best at giving wedding gifts."

Martin agreed: "We gave gifts before Heidi Klum's wedding; we gave gifts before Alexandra Ambrosio's engagement! And tonight, we're the perfect group of good men delivering wedding gifts!"

Lorraine, who came in carrying her camera bag, rolled her eyes when she heard the three people talking; she was used to such shameless remarks.

Martin took out his phone and started scrolling through Twitter, looking for the latest news about Depp.

Leonardo leaned over to take a look: "There's been a news report?"

"Not for now," Martin said simply. "Even if Depp asks that we can't bring cell phones to the wedding, among so many relatives and friends, there will definitely be someone who sneaks a cell phone."

Nicholson chimed in, "Someone with a keen eye will surely take photos of the fireworks with Depp and Amber in the background. Could they resist sharing such a unique picture?"

Martin further stated, "Following Jack's drug-induced reasoning, could Depp be provoked into going crazy at the wedding? If he does, the effect will be even better."

Leonardo understood: "You guys aren't just messing around to vent your anger?"

"Of course not." Martin searched for the keyword "Depp" again, and a video popped up on Twitter with the title "Depp is crazy!"

He quickly clicked on it.

The video was clearly taken secretly, showing the wedding venue in complete chaos. Johnny Depp appeared to be acting erratically, pushing over everything he could and smashing everything he could.

Leonardo DiCaprio also came over to watch and clicked his tongue, saying, "We've really messed with Depp."

"It wasn't us!" Martin quickly corrected, "Look at the background, there are Amber Heard's signature fireworks that you set off. You've ruined Depp."

Leonardo pointed: "Scroll down, there seem to be comments."

Martin scrolled down the page and found that there were indeed quite a few comments under this tweet.

"He went crazy and ruined his own wedding! What kind of genius is this?!"

"Depp is clearly a drug addict who's been taking too many drugs."

"Trashy people do trashy things."

"@Depp fans, look at what kind of person you idolize!"

"This melon is big and sweet! Share it! Share it!"

Martin also chose to forward it, forwarding it to Jessica, and then called Jessica: "I just forwarded you a video, let's boost its popularity right away."

Jessica, leading a team that had been working overtime and on standby at Davis's studio all evening, replied, "Get to it right away."

Martin hung up the phone and noticed that Leonardo had also taken out his phone to browse Twitter and follow the gossip.

Leonardo asked as he swiped the brush, "This isn't just about embarrassing Depp, is it?"

This is too low-level and doesn't fit the high-class style of their trio of scoundrels.

Before Martin could answer, Nicholson eagerly interjected, "We're working to damage Depp's public image, lowering his popularity among the general public, even making it negative, so that casual viewers will dislike him."

These were actually Martin's claims, but since Nicholson was the leader of the trio and the commander-in-chief of tonight's battle, Martin wouldn't argue with him.

Nicholson, seemingly in complete control and exuding boss-like charisma, declared: "Depp went crazy at his wedding, what's that? We're going to destroy his career! Since he messed with our trio of bastards, he should be prepared to be ruined! We're going to crush him from the bottom of his own business!"

Leonardo DiCaprio finally understood: "When Depp peed on Martin Scorsese, he was filming a blockbuster with a production budget of over $2 million. If Depp's public image turned negative, his die-hard fans alone wouldn't be enough to support the market for a film of this scale."

Martin snapped his fingers: "And there's Transcendence."

Leonardo DiCaprio, standing at the top of the industry, saw it very clearly: "Depp's career will collapse."

His gaze swept over Martin and Nicholson: "You two really are bastards."

The yacht docked at the pier, and a few people quietly left, leaving Bruce to handle the cleanup afterwards.

At this time, the video of Depp disrupting his own wedding has become the most popular item on Twitter and is being shared wildly.

More than one person filmed the scene, and more than one person posted on Twitter.

Depp's agent and public relations manager have been alerted and are working hard to put out the fire.

These days, with the development of social networks, celebrities are a group of people who receive a lot of attention. Even the slightest thing they do can quickly become public knowledge.

…………

On the island where the wedding was to take place, agent Whigham paced anxiously back and forth. He glanced at Depp, who was chugging a bottle of liquor, and dialed the public relations manager's number again to discuss crisis management.

Depp quieted down, but ignored everything, just drinking and taking drugs.

Whigham is used to it, and there's no way to control him. If she says too much, she'll anger Depp and might even get fired, so she simply stops trying to persuade Depp.

As for Depp's entourage, they would do anything to make him happy.

All of these people were drinking with Depp.

Amber Heard, having changed out of her wedding dress, arrived here with obvious bruises on her face.

Whiggam had a headache. Seeing Depp seemingly lost in alcohol, he quickly went over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Now is not the time to pursue this. Amber shook her head: "I'm fine, how's Johnny?"

Whiggam nodded toward Depp: "Alcohol and drugs can calm him down."

When Amber saw the drunken Depp, she had an urge to divorce him immediately, but she held back because of her future prospects and Megan Ellison's instructions.

Whigham's phone rang, so she went to the side to make a call.

Amber Heard went over and offered Depp a few words of comfort.

But Depp was already completely drunk and could only groan.

Amber didn't want to serve such a drunkard, so she left, citing a sore nose, and found a room to rest alone.

On her wedding night, she was lonely and couldn't sleep.

The next day, entertainment media across the United States were reporting wildly that Depp had ruined his own wedding and angrily kicked out all the guests.

The videos taken at the wedding were wildly shared on Twitter and appeared on websites such as YouTube and TMZ. Depp didn't have an organization like the FBI behind him, and even though his agency and public relations manager tried everything they could, they still couldn't stop the news videos from spreading like wildfire.

Megan Ellison received the notification as soon as she arrived at Annapurna Films.

After browsing the related news in the newspapers and on the website, she frowned, picked up the phone and called Whigham directly, demanding, "What's going on over there? I've told you repeatedly to keep Depp in check, and now he's caused such a huge scandal!"

Whigham argued, "Someone deliberately provoked Depp with fireworks last night, which caused all of this to happen."

Megan Ellison only believed 30% of what she said. She'd witnessed Depp's disgraceful state countless times over the past few months: "Suppress the news as soon as possible, keep an eye on Depp, and make sure nothing like this happens again!"

"My PR manager and I are preparing to hold a press conference to explain the facts," Whigham said.

Megan Ellison hung up the phone and then instructed her subordinates to work with Depp's team to suppress the related news.

However, she and Annapurna Pictures are newcomers and companies in Hollywood, and their influence in the entertainment media field is not strong, so the results can only be described as average.

Most importantly, Depp has had just too many negative news stories in the past few months, and it's impossible to suppress them.

Following the wedding, Whigham and her PR manager held a press conference, during which a video of Depp's wedding was played, with a focus on the fireworks.

This video shows that there was a reason why Depp smashed his own wedding.

However, the negative impact is also quite significant.

In the current situation, it's more important to give Depp a legitimate reason for his outburst.

Otherwise, production companies and producers in the industry would have a terrible impression of Depp. An actor who gets drunk and high on his own wedding could be a ticking time bomb on set. Would he blow up the entire crew?

Upon seeing the patterns created by the fireworks in the video, the media reporters at the scene immediately went wild.

"The King of Pee and the Queen of Television are a perfect match!"

"It's over. Depp will live under the terrifying rule of Amber Heard for the rest of his life."

"Last year, many people commented that Martin Scorsese's 'Gone Girl' was a perfect match for Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. I wish them a long and happy life together!"

Several tabloid reporters were also discussing it.

"Did you see that? It's easy to provoke Depp, all you need is a lump!"

"Great! Let's keep a close eye on Depp and create a huge news story!"

As soon as the press conference ended, these guys immediately went to find out Depp's whereabouts, hoping to create some big news.

Unfortunately, Depp got drunk on the island.

Amber received another call from Megan Ellison, whose anger she could hear in the voice of the wealthy producer.

If Megan Ellison's two films succeed, that's fine; if they fail...

Amber decides to cause more accidents in the future so that she can get a larger share of the inheritance.

By evening, Depp had finally sobered up, and Amber Heard, like a responsible wife, led him to the computer so he could look at the news.

She installed cameras in the room, and if Depp saw the video and went crazy again, she would definitely make him beat up.

But Depp was half-sober and hadn't taken any drugs. Although he was exhausted and yawning constantly, he was surprisingly a little more level-headed.

After reading the news, Depp's face darkened, and he said, "No one else would do this to me; it must be that jerk Martin Davis!"

Amber asked, "Is there any evidence?"

Depp retorted with profanity: "What evidence do you want? The only person I've made an enemy of recently is Martin Davis!"

Amber Heard, however, saw it differently, because she felt that Depp had offended everyone on the Lone Ranger crew, including Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski.

Depp picked up the phone, dialed his agent Wriggs, and yelled, "Tell everyone or any company I work with that if they want to work with Depp, they can't work with Martin Davis at all!"
