American fame and fortune

Warner Studios, in the temporary pulling room of the crew.

The action director Chad pressed the remote control, and the TV screen played his carefully edited shootout clips, which were mainly realistic.

Ping-pong-pong gunshots rang out.

Martin is like the hero Eddie, carefully watching the way the protagonist uses a gun in the film.

In the finished film of "Never Ending", these clips edited by Chad will also be selected as Eddie's learning and imitation objects.

First up is Eastwood, the classic scene of the old cowboy using the revolver in "Unforgiven".

When Martin isn't shooting, he practices the gun at least twice a week, but uses the revolver less frequently.

The screen flashed and switched to a movie clip that Martin had watched countless times.

Steal FireWire!

The whole movie has a slow pace, like Nicholson playing Streep in the trailer. People who are used to the fast pace of the new era can hardly bear to wait for the duel between the two heroes.

Therefore, many people's way of opening is to fast forward all the way, starting from the bank robbery, closing after the shootout, and then looking at the end.

"This shootout can be called a classic among the classics." Chad roughly said: "This film was shot and produced by Warner Bros., and we have already obtained the authorization."

Martin nodded, seeing Al Pacino shoot and kill the gangster who hijacked the little girl, pressed the pause button, and constructed the shootout scene in his mind.

Chadley waited for a while, and then said: "This paragraph is very realistic and practical. It is said that the two robbers used this film as a reference for the big robbery in 1998."

Martin thought of Tom Cruise's "Borrowing a Knife" again. It seems that Michael Mann is very good at shooting shootouts.

The TV screen jumped again, and it turned out to be a scene of killing someone with a knife.

Chad added: "I have been studying Michael Mann's shootout design recently, and I have some experience."

Martin nodded: "I remember his shootout scenes, all in a realistic style."

Chad replayed the shootout clips from the three movies, and when Martin had some memory, the two went to the training ground next to them to simulate training with prop guns.

Bruce also joined in as Martin's training target.

There is nothing to say about training efficiency.

During the break, I received a call from Thomas. Martin called Bruce over and told him about the matter in general, and specifically asked Bruce to talk to the brokerage company on behalf of Martin.

This is also the job of the manager.

Bruce replied, "I'll go to WMA in the afternoon."

The crew also used a large number of WMA clients. For example, the old actor who played the role of a Wall Street boss chose Robert De Niro, Ali Emmanuel's client.

In the afternoon, Aniston came to the crew studio.

As the heroine, it is normal work to rehearse the scene with the hero in advance.

The two took their respective role scripts and entered the same conference room.

Aniston closed the door so that no one would be disturbed, and asked Martin, "Shall we start?"

Martin had already collected his emotions and quickly entered the state: "Let's start."

Aniston first discussed the role with him: "Is Linda's setting a bit philistine?"

"Shouldn't this be called a philistine, but close to real life?" Martin's opinion is completely different: "The hero Eddie is poor and lives by writing, but he can't concentrate, he can't even do the most basic work, and the rent is very low. If you can’t pay, why does Linda accept his pursuit?”

Aniston said: "After the protagonist took the smart drug, his IQ and EQ exploded, and he made money again, Linda took the initiative to lean on him?"

The screenwriter Bradt is a man, the director is also a man, and Martin, who leads the project, is still a man, so the heroine is set entirely from a male perspective, and Martin thinks there is no problem.

He added: "A down-and-out, greasy man, and a delicate and beautiful woman, they don't match at all. This setting is also to highlight the change of the male protagonist."

Aniston understood that the heroine exists solely to highlight the hero.

This is a very sad reality in Hollywood. Even a star of her level can hardly receive a movie with a female protagonist, or that all the plots and characters serve the heroine.

Martin added: "The female lead will accompany the male lead to the end, into politics."

Aniston laughed suddenly: "The male lead has played outside enough and is tired, and then the female lead takes over?"

Martin retorted: "They are true love!"

He specifically emphasized: "One is exquisite and beautiful, and the other is handsome and rich. Isn't it a natural couple?"

Hearing this, Aniston couldn't help looking at Martin again. If Martin was a greasy fat man, would she adopt this strategy against Julie?

The answer is obvious.

She simply invited: "Do you have time tonight? Last time I asked you to have dinner, but I haven't found a suitable time. How about today?"

Of course Martin would not refuse: "Rachel's invitation, of course I have time, but I must come for the treat."

Aniston smiled, took out her mobile phone and made a call, and booked a table at the Italian restaurant in the Chateau Marmont Hotel.

This hotel and restaurant is a place frequented by Hollywood stars. Whenever you go there, the chance of meeting someone in the circle is 100%.

Aniston chose the place on purpose to spread the word in circles that someone would know that she and Martin were dating.

Martin has always been dedicated to his work. He shook the script and said, "Let's play it."

Aniston cleaned up her mood, temporarily put aside those messy thoughts, and rehearsed the scene with Martin.

Director Danny Boyle has led part of the crew to New York to prepare for the crew's shooting in New York.

At the gate of Warner Studios, Bruce came back from WMA in Century City. He put his car in the parking lot and walked into the studio area. When he was about to drive a battery car, someone nearby called him.

"Old Bu, old Bu!" Julie was sitting next to a wooden table, beckoning: "Come here and have a chat."

Bruce glanced at the time, went to sit opposite Julie, and said hello: "Good afternoon."

Jolie asked, "Did Aniston go to Martin's crew today?"

Bruce knew these bad things around Martin best, nodded and said: "She is the heroine, and she wants to rehearse and play with Martin."

Julie paused for a while, then asked again: "Just a rehearsal?"

"What else can there be?" Bruce is not a good bird, he said deliberately: "The crew studio is small and there are many people, what else can two people do?"

Julie laughed.

Bruce asked, "You have a lot of time?"

Julie replied casually: "I haven't been filming recently, and I don't have any work." She asked very seriously: "Old Bu, is there any female role in the Never Ending crew that is suitable for me? The role is not important, and the salary is not important. I just want to Join it."

Bruce considers the problem from the manager's point of view, Martin plus Julie plus Aniston, the promotion and marketing of this drama is bound to explode.

But he said, "You ask me, and my answer is that I don't know."

Julie understood, stopped mentioning this, and asked instead: "Does Martin have time tonight?"

Bruce took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Martin, mentioning that he met Julie. After a few minutes, there was a message back, and he said: "Aniston asked Martin to use the Italian restaurant in the Marmont Hotel together. dinner."

Julie nodded: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Seeing that she stopped talking, Bruce got up and left.

Julie glanced at Bruce and said nothing more.

Bruce got on the battery car and drove to the studio.

Halfway through, he called Martin again.

Julie turned around and went into a nearby cold drink shop, and found a place to sit near the glass window. Anyone who left the studio area had to pass by here.

She thought for a while, and made a special phone call to reserve a seat at the restaurant of the Marmont Hotel.

But something was still missing.

Suddenly, the mobile phone text message sounded, and the received message only had one word: Pete!

Julie immediately understood that a key person was missing!

Wouldn't the game be missing half its excitement without Pete?

"It's exciting to think about it!" Julie licked her thick lips, took out her mobile phone and called the assistant: "Try to find a way to inform Pete that Martin has an appointment with Aniston at the Hotel Marmont tonight."

She hung up the phone, with a smile on her lips, and said to herself: "Tonight is so exciting! Am I a little perverted? No, I'm just enjoying it all!"

Julie's excited legs trembled, and her hand holding the cold drink didn't grab the cup for a long time.

Later, she looked at her watch frequently, and it was the first time that she felt that time passed so slowly.

…………

Century City, Death Star Building.

Well-known entertainment agent Brian Lord is hosting Brad Pitt in his office.

The former smelled a strong smell of alcohol and asked, "Did you drink a lot at noon?"

Pete waved his hand: "Just a few drinks."

Lord didn't bother with this. Hollywood stars generally drink heavily. He said: "I asked someone to talk to Martin Davis. The previous thing is over. Don't be impulsive when you meet him."

Pitt got annoyed at the name and said: "I didn't try to mess with him, but what he did made me sick, he stole Jolie while I was in a relationship with her, and I wanted to get back with Aniston , He went to snatch Aniston again, how can I bear it? Which man can bear it?"

Lord reminded: "You are a personal grievance, and the company will not stand up for you! Don't forget, Aniston is also one of the company's most important customers!"

He didn't say a word, so as not to hurt Pete's self-esteem. In terms of CAA's revenue and importance, Aniston completely beat Pete.

"I know." Pete shook his head: "I will try my best to get Jane back."

Although he has been drinking a lot recently, Pete's head is not completely confused. Without a heavyweight female companion, he can't keep his current status and appeal at all.

Without Jolie, Aniston is the best choice, the others?

Pete couldn't think of a suitable candidate for the time being.

"Don't fight Martin Davis." Lord knew that the words were not good, but he didn't want to see Pete being stepped on as a stepping stone again: "You are not his opponent."

Pete nodded, got up and left the office.

Before leaving the Death Star Building, he received a call from his manager, and his expression suddenly became tense.
