American fame and fortune

Chapter 330 Money Ability

During the consecutive video conferences and receptions, the Rita team funded and hired by Louise and Kelly took the initiative to lobby for Martin's reputation among the judges.

A lot of neutral prestige, stunned to be friendly and respected, successfully helped Martin create an actor image with excellent acting skills, hard work, and artistic pursuit.

Martin's goal this time is to be nominated, but his reputation can also lay the foundation for the future.

As we all know, the public image of an actor is very different from the reality.

Martin is at least fairly reliable.

Among the selection results announced by the Film Critics Associations including Hollywood, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco and New York, although Martin did not win the Best Supporting Actor award, all of them entered the list of five nominees.

The Departed and Martin Scorsese nearly swept the awards.

In the awards season, these can not only improve the word-of-mouth of the film, but also play a role in publicity.

After the second weekend in December, the North American box office of The Departed reached as high as 167 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars.

"Congratulations, Martin, another 300 million worldwide." Inside the Smoke House restaurant, Julie took a sip of the juice and asked, "You invited me to act in your project back then, but I still had doubts in my heart, so I almost refused. Fortunately, I am not stupid, you have brought me back to the front line, and I am even expected to become a superstar."

Martin always speaks nicely: "Angie, we belong to mutual achievement."

Julie raised her glass and touched Martin: "Thank you, you are a good teacher who saved a bad student who went astray."

Martin drank the wine in his glass and said: "When people are young, they will always make some wrong choices. When I look back, I find myself a few years ago, stupid and terrible."

Julie laughed: "So, a good teacher like you can always correct students' mistakes."

Martin sighed deliberately: "There is one thing that is difficult. You and Jane should not be like this now, but you have to pay for other people's mistakes."

These words reminded Julie of the matter proposed a few days ago, and she couldn't help asking: "How about we accomplish another thing for each other?"

Seeing her strange expression, Martin said, "I'm a decent person, don't make excessive demands."

"Yes, he is a good person when he is serious." Julie nodded again and again: "When he is not serious, he is a stick for beating people."

Martin disagreed with the latter words: "That's because you need it, and I am happy to help others."

Julie's eyes were fiery: "Then help me one more time!"

After all, Martin is a good person, and he doesn't want to see others pleading: "Tell me, what's the specific matter."

Jolie said: "Take me to fly with Aniston!"

"You're crazy!" Martin shook his head directly: "I'm not crazy yet."

Julie was silent for a moment, thought for a moment, and decided to move forward in a curve: "You can help me reconcile with Aniston, right? As you said, she and I should not pay for Pete's mistakes."

Martin poured Julie a glass of juice and said, "This is not easy."

Julie said: "You know Aniston's depth, and you must know where her bottom line is."

"I did hear her say it," Martin said bluntly. "Jen wants you to apologize publicly to her before talking about anything else."

Julie thought it was a big deal, and this little thing was completely negligible compared to the happiness she might get later, and said: "I bought a page in the Los Angeles Times and publicly apologized to Aniston. You asked her out, the three of us Let's talk together."

Martin was surprised: "Didn't you talk to her?"

What's the point if the two circles are put together without the J in the middle? On this kind of matter, Julie's mind was not so lively, and said: "Without your help to lubricate the middle, what if two dry people fight directly?"

This sounded strange, but Martin automatically ignored it, and said, "You apologize publicly in the newspaper first, and I'll talk to Jane about it."

Julie grabbed Martin's hand and said urgently: "You must facilitate this matter, and I guarantee you will be rewarded handsomely."

She's like a slut seducing a good guy to commit a crime: "Think about it, Martin, when you bring me and Aniston in front of Pete, will he go crazy?"

Martin was worried: "I'm worried that Pete will be overstimulated and shoot me."

"Are you afraid of him?" Julie didn't believe it at all, and she knew some of Martin's behavior: "Such a good opportunity to make trouble, you just let it slip away?"

Martin was silent for a moment, then said: "You first issue a public apology statement."

Without further ado, Julie took out her mobile phone and made a call: "It's me, you buy the Los Angeles Times page as soon as possible, tomorrow is too late? Then the day after tomorrow, the sooner the better, I can't wait."

"I'll talk to Jen when your apology is in the papers," Martin said.

After eating, the two left the restaurant separately.

Martin crossed the street, across the way to the Warner Studios, where an in-house preview will be held for "Never Ending," which will be released in January.

Bruce followed Martin to the gate of the Warner Building and said, "Ivan is here, I'm going to see him."

Martin nodded slightly: "Go."

Bruce walked along the Warner Building to the left, and the contact with Ivan was terminated at his place, and he would not let the incident involve Martin.

Entering the parking lot, getting into a car, Bruce drove to a square a few miles away, parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road, took out his spare cell phone and called Ivan's number.

Not long after, Ivan came out from behind the green belt of the square and got into the co-pilot.

Bruce said, "I've asked you to come here this time for something important to do."

Ivan was not ambiguous: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Bruce took out a file bag and handed it to Ivan: "Look first."

Ivan opened it, and it was similar to the last time in New York. Inside were some people's documents and photos, recording some special events. After looking carefully, he said, "It's almost the same."

Martin took them to do these things a few times when they were in Atlanta, and did it again this year in New York. Ivan is quite skilled.

Bruce reminded: "Remember to tell them that if they don't report it, they will sell the tip to the next one."

"No problem." After reading the information, Ivan asked curiously, "Which newspaper is TMZ? I haven't heard of it before."

He explained: "The last time I went back, I carefully checked the information of American entertainment newspapers, but I haven't seen this one."

Bruce simply said: "A newly established entertainment gossip website, its influence is gradually increasing, and it is known for its high credibility."

Ivan nodded: "I understand."

Bruce handed him another envelope: "Here."

Ivan touched it and was not polite: "I will accept the money."

"Also." Bruce pointed to the file: "How much these can be sold is all yours."

Ivan collected the information: "Old Bu, you are giving me a chance to earn extra money."

Bruce punched him: "The two of us have experienced so much together, so don't talk about these bullshit." He pointed to the front: "Old rules, you call people out to meet, and I will cover you nearby."

Ivan didn't talk nonsense, got out of the car and walked through the forest square, went to the other side to find a phone booth, and called the reporter named Jody.

"I heard that you TMZ like black material very much. I have Brad Pitt's top-secret black material here." He said directly: "If you want it, go to the Santa Monica Ring Road Pier."

The name Brad Pitt made Jody immediately answer.

She put on her coat, stepped out of the independent office, and a person came to meet her and asked, "Boss, where are you going?"

Jody's face sank: "Don't ask more questions that shouldn't be asked."

To be able to sit on a key editor-in-chief position of the website, the news channel in her hand is the key, how can it be possible for others to know.

Jody drove to Santa Monica alone, and met the caller at an open-air cafe on Huanhai Road.

The other party looks ordinary and speaks with an accent of Eastern European immigrants.

These are not the key, the most important thing is a clue he provided.

Brad Pitt is suspected of using violence and harassment against domestic nannies, and may have improper relationships with multiple domestic nannies.

Jody had reviewed the information one by one, and with years of experience in the industry, it was not difficult to judge that these were all true, so he immediately bought the list, address and contact information of those nannies.

Ivan reminded: "I asked to be published in the newspaper."

"TMZ wants breaking news," Jody said.

At this stage, TMZ is still in the stage of gaining fame and attracting investment, and there is no better booster than superstar black material.

After leaving Santa Monica, Jody didn't go back to the company at all, and rushed directly to Koreatown to find a Latino female nanny living nearby.

She waited for a while in front of a slightly dilapidated detached house on the side of the street, and the target walked out.

The woman was about 35 years old, with a good build and ordinary appearance, and it was hard to imagine that Brad Pitt would be interested in such a person.

But looking at the many domestic nannies on the list, Jody can roughly guess that Pete may have some kind of hobby, and he especially likes the profession of domestic nannies.

Jody stepped forward and said hello: "Hi, Caroline, do you have time? Let's chat."

Seeing that it was a stranger, Caroline didn't want to talk to her, and turned around to leave.

She took a step forward, but she stopped.

Jody held up several twenty-dollar bills.

Caroline immediately changed her face and said with a smile: "I have some time, but not much."

Jody stepped back to the car.

Caroline followed immediately.

Jody was not in a hurry to give the money, but instead asked, "I heard that you worked as a nanny at Pete's house?"

"Are you a reporter?" Caroline was alert and said, "I signed a non-disclosure agreement and will not say anything."

Jody put the money on the hood of the car and drew another check with five digits on it.

For Pete's big news, this time she dared to invest in the department's funds for the next three months or even half a year.

As long as there is some clue, the boss will definitely approve more fees.

Caroline saw the numbers on the check, which was very tempting.

Jody spoke eloquently: "You may not know that if Pete's behavior violates your legal rights, the so-called non-disclosure agreement will no longer be valid."

"Really?" Caroline's eyes were entirely on the check.

Jody's banknote ability wins.
