America achieves both fame and fortune

Chapter 699 Girl Helping Girl

After wrapping up filming in the afternoon, Emma Watson returned to the dressing room to remove her makeup. After seeing everyone else off, she asked her bag carrier, Alana, "Has the news come out yet?"

"It's out." Alana's expression was strange. "But the reports are different from what we expected."

Emma Watson took out her laptop, opened the TMZ website, found the news about Martin and Saoirse Ronan on the homepage, and after looking at the pictures and videos, her eyes focused on the text description.

"Martin Davis is reportedly planning a new project and is considering Irish actress Saoirse Ronan. According to insiders, the new project is likely to be a musical..."

Alana said, "I just looked at Martin Davis and Saoirse Ronan's tweets. All these new videos are on Twitter. Saoirse Ronan sang 'Scarborough Fair' for Martin, like she was auditioning for a role. The stuff we filmed didn't have much of an impact."

Emma Watson held up a finger and shook it, signaling Alana to be quiet.

She had only one thought in her mind: Martin Davis's new work!

After a long pause, Emma Watson said, "No wonder Saoirse Ronan always hangs around Martin Davis, so shamelessly, it's all for a new role in her new movie."

Alana continued, "Martin Davis's works have a very high success rate. Charlize Theron has been reduced to playing supporting roles, but she successfully made a comeback with 'Gone Girl,' which she co-starred in with Martin."

Emma Watson turned off the video of Saoirse Ronan singing for Martin, and suddenly opened her mouth to sing a cappella, also singing "Scarborough Fair".

Many actors are multi-talented, and Emma Watson is no exception.

Alanna was initially surprised, but after Emma finished singing, she realized: "You want to steal Saoirse Ronan's role?"

Emma Watson grinned crookedly: "I'm more famous than her, a better actress, prettier, and have way more fans. I'm a top-tier Hollywood star, and she's barely a third-tier one!"

She pointed out the key point: "That's a film project Martin Davis is preparing, although we don't know the specifics, but his films are always successful!"

Alana chimed in, "Yes, it's been consistently successful."

"The Harry Potter series is over, Hermione is a thing of the past," Emma Watson said. "I need new successes, preferably with a leading lady in a top-tier project."

She said with some helplessness, "To get rid of the Hermione label, I even took a supporting role in 'Noah's Ark.' Do you think a supporting role is worthy of my fame and status?"

Alana said, "Not worthy."

Emma Watson gritted her teeth and said, "Saoirse is my mortal enemy. Her biggest asset in Hollywood is Martin. I'm not only going to steal her roles, but also her asset!"

Alana asked directly, "What do we do?"

Emma Watson said, "You should observe Martin's routine at the studio..."

After hearing her explanation, Alana replied, "I know what to do."

…………

In the afternoon, after leaving the photography studio, Martin walked towards the studio.

Upon entering the studio's foyer, Bruce stepped forward and said, "That woman was following us again at noon."

Martin frowned: "Isn't this over yet? Keep an eye on her and Emma Watson."

Bruce nodded and went to make a phone call.

Martin entered the studio's conference room and met Alan Horn, who was waiting there.

The latter came over to check on the progress of "Argo" and asked some questions.

Alan Horn asked directly, "Are you preparing for a new film project?"

Martin said, "We have some initial ideas, but they're not perfect yet. Shall we talk more once we have a basic outline?"

John Wick 2 has grossed over $6 million worldwide, bringing substantial profits to its distributor, Disney.

Besides box office revenue, Disney also profits immensely from DVD sales.

Currently, DVD sales in North America have exceeded $1 million, still holding the top spot in this year's North American DVD sales chart.

Alan Horn said, "Okay, don't forget Disney Studios."

Successful people are surrounded by many good people, Martin responded with a smile: "I would definitely prioritize working with Disney Studios."

The two chatted for a while before parting ways.

Martin went straight home after get off work.

The following morning, Martin arrived at the Disney studio on time and saw Emma Watson under the parasol placed at the entrance of the "Argo" film crew's location.

The young actress, whose face is very distinctive, sat in a cushioned chair and greeted Martin with a smile: "Good morning, Martin."

Martin, seemingly unaware of anything, nodded to her: "Good morning, Emma."

Emma Watson stood up and came over, saying, "I have a friend who wanted your autograph. She was supposed to come to you in person, but she's disabled and has difficulty getting around. She heard that I was also filming a new movie at Disney Studios, so she specifically asked me to do it for her."

For an actress, telling such a lie is incredibly easy. She asked hopefully, "Martin, could I have an autographed photo of you?"

Martin couldn't figure out what she wanted to do, but he had given away at least several thousand autographed photos, so getting one wouldn't be difficult. He immediately replied, "Sure."

Bruce gave Emma Watson an autographed photo.

Emma Watson said, "Let's take a picture together."

After saying that, she leaned over and hugged Martin's arm.

In public, Martin wasn't worried that Emma Watson would cause a sexual disturbance, so he had Bruce take a picture of the two of them together.

Emma Watson posed for a photo with him, then left without lingering.

Before entering the studio, Martin said to Bruce, "Have someone keep an eye on her and see what she's up to."

As soon as I entered the studio, David Fincher came up from behind and said, "Warner's princesses are practically offering themselves up."

Martin said, "Not a princess, more likely a witch."

After a morning of shooting, Martin came out of the studio and found Emma Watson sitting under the parasol again, in the same cushioned chair as in the morning.

Emma greeted him, "Hi, Martin, all done work?"

Martin, curious to see what this witch was up to, said, "That's a wrap. Time to go eat."

Emma, ​​who was prepared, stood up to greet you: "I had the autographed photo delivered to a friend. She was very happy and insisted that I express my gratitude to you. I would like to invite you to lunch."

Martin casually remarked politely, "It's nothing, don't worry about it."

Emma insisted, "Give me a chance to express my gratitude."

Thinking about what happened yesterday, Martin said, "Let's do it in the studio restaurant."

The two went to the studio restaurant.

On the way, Emma Watson seemed very happy and in a particularly good mood, humming a song.

Her voice was clear and crisp, though her slightly immature singing wasn't quite as mellow, it was still quite pleasant to listen to.

She's no worse than Saoirse Ronan.

During lunch, Saoirse saw Emma Watson sitting with Martin, her brow furrowed.

"Bitch!" She was so angry that she couldn't eat.

Emma Watson is undermining the foundation she built in Hollywood.

Saoirse wants to stir things up, she wants to do something big!

After lunch, as we left the restaurant and walked back with Martin, Emma Watson invited him, "Want to grab a drink after work this afternoon?"

Martin turned and glanced at her.

Emma Watson specifically stated, "I'm 21 years old, and I can drink in public."

The implications of those words were immediately clear to men in Hollywood.

The other party assumed Martin was unaware of yesterday's events, but Martin knew what had happened and could not possibly accept such an invitation. He replied, "I'm sorry, I promised Elizabeth I'd be home on time tonight."

Emma Watson laughed and said, "It's okay, we can reschedule for another day."

Arriving under a parasol near the entrance of the "Argo" studio, Emma Watson glanced at her watch and said, "It's still early, let's rest here for a while."

As she spoke, she sat down again on the cushioned chair.

Martin sat down opposite her again, and the two chatted about all sorts of random topics.

A dozen minutes later, Martin returned to the studio.

Emma Watson walked toward the Noah's Ark set, stopping at an ice cream parlor along the way.

Alana went in too.

The two men sat at a table discussing something.

The cold drink shop was small, with only two tables.

With his back to Emma, ​​sat a very ordinary middle-aged man.

Emma Watson confirmed from her conversation with Martin that he is indeed planning a musical film project, and that the female lead will have a significant role.

Having been in the entertainment industry since she was ten, she had seen and gotten used to many things. She said to Alana, "Go modify a bag and put the small DV camera Rupert bought inside so I can secretly film you."

"That's easy," Alana asked. "Are you really going to do that?"

Emma made up her mind: "I'm going to film this. There are too many people in this industry who take advantage of others and then deny everything. As long as I can get dirt on him, I'm not afraid of him..."

The two didn't stay long; they ate some nonfat ice cream and left quickly.

The middle-aged man also walked out, wiped his hands under the table where the two women were sitting, and then put his hands in his pockets.

He found a quiet place, listened to it again, and then dialed a phone number.

"Old Bu, I've made some money. Shall I come find you?"

"Go to the back door of the studio."

Martin was busy filming all afternoon. After finishing, he came out of the studio and found Emma Watson sitting in the same chair waiting for him.

Many people passing by cast curious glances at the two of them.

Before long, rumors that Emma Watson is pursuing Martin Davis will spread throughout the entire Disney studio.

Martin chatted with her for a few minutes, then, using work as an excuse, went to the film crew's studio not far away.

Bruce caught up from behind and whispered, "It's pretty much confirmed."

Martin never hesitated to retaliate when others tried to mess with him, saying, "Tell her to stay away from me."

Bruce asked, "What do you want to do?"

"It's not good for men to bully women." Martin already had an idea: "Girls should be willing to help girls. Let Saoirse help Emma Watson."
