American fame and fortune

After more than ten years in Hollywood, Casey Affleck considers himself an excellent and patient top hunter when faced with such so-called gifted students who are still studying in school.

He asked: "Would it be an honor to see more of your works?"

"All the works I have completed so far are here." Lily's eyes seemed to be fixed on Cassie, and she kept looking up and down, carefully observing the person's body structure to determine the most suitable place to cut.

Seeing that the girl across from him kept her eyes on him, Cassie became more confident. The girl was obviously very interested in him.

Lily's eyes were hot and sincere, and the hand in her pocket was stroking the carving knife quickly.

Cassie felt Lily's affection for him, so she simply pointed to the sculpture next to her: "I'm lucky enough to get such an outstanding piece of art today. I should celebrate. Beautiful Lily Carter, can you be invited to participate?"

Lily's smile was very special: "I have to go to the airport to pick someone up later, so I don't have time."

Cassie is not a junior brother, so he knows that he has to be a little patient: "I will call you another day." He specifically said: "I hope to appreciate your masterpieces again. I like your style very much and want to collect more about you." s work."

Lily said politely: "Thank you."

Cassie further said: "In a few years, maybe I won't be able to afford your works."

With nice coaxing words, he handed Lily his business card, which only had a phone number on it.

Lily took it, said goodbye politely, and left. During this period, she turned back and glanced at Cassie again to determine how it was legitimate self-defense and how many stabbings would not cause serious injuries.

Cassie smiled decadently and dejectedly, the most charming smile in the art world.

Lily nodded to him, and when she was about to turn out of the exhibition hall, she saw a human sculpture made by someone else in front of her. She couldn't help but stop and make gestures with her fingers.

The organizer came to pack the bust sculpture, and Cassie was watching from the side, thinking in her head what kind of surprise she should use to get a good win over Martin Davis.

The Affleck brothers have received definite news that Chuck Hogan has signed a contract with Martin Davis and sold the film and television adaptation rights of "Prince of Thieves" to Davis Film and Television Studio.

Originally, the project that they were optimistic about and contacted first was suddenly snatched away from them, and there was an evil fire in their hearts that had nowhere to vent.

Before the exhibition ended, Lily asked for leave from her instructor, got into her red Cadillac, and rushed to Los Angeles International Airport.

Martin came back from New York today, and she was going to pick him up.

Arriving at the terminal exit, Lily didn't wait long before she saw Martin and Bruce pushing their luggage out.

She quickly waved to the two of them.

After Martin passed by, he handed a bag in his hand directly to Lily: "Where's the car?"

Lily carried the heavy bag and led the way: "This way."

The three of them put their luggage and got into the Cadillac. Lily drove out of the parking lot and asked, "Is the work in New York done?"

"It's done." Martin remembered a very important thing and specially warned: "When you go to New York again, clean up the house in Central Park. It's a little messy."

Lily responded habitually: "Okay."

Bruce looked at Martin and then at Lily. One was not a human being, the other was a habit. There was no hope.

Martin suddenly thought that he should be a good person, and added: "You can also find a specialized housekeeping company to clean up."

"I understand." After years of habit, Lily felt that doing this was normal.

The mansion acquired from Pete is still under renovation, but it has reached the final stage.

Martin still lives in the Coty community.

The Cadillac drove right through the door, and the house was in good order, with everything neat and clean inside and out.

Martin didn't need to ask. It must have been Lily who did it. He said, "I came from New York this time and brought you a gift."

When Lily heard the word "gift", her head was a little big, so she didn't want those gifts in the past.

She tentatively said: "I now have enough raw materials. I sculpt every day at school or in the studio of Warner Studio. I no longer have to send bison horns and crocodile teeth."

Martin had already opened the suitcase, took out a set of carving knives, and handed it to Lily: "This is for you."

Lily took it, opened it and took a look, and instantly felt that all the things she had done were worth it.

Martin set aside boxes filled with gifts, including ones for Elizabeth, Jolie and Aniston.

The latter two specifically stood up for Lily, and he had to show his support.

Lily couldn't wait for a moment, so she put away the carving knife, opened a cupboard, took out several letters and handed them to Martin: "I received them in the mailbox at the door during this time."

Martin took it over and looked through it. Most of them were sales advertisements. What was really useful were the letters thrown into the mailbox by two neighbors.

A beautifully packaged DVD from Jenna Jones next door. On the cover is a close-up of her firing a gun, with a line of big words written next to it: "Never Ending."

There was also a note attached to the back of the DVD. Jenna told Martin that the film was finished and she had specially sent a collector's edition.

Martin is curious about the heroine's search for the smart drug after the protagonist in the Sacred Valley version is changed to a female.

The idea of ​​finding smart drugs from genetic material is unparalleled.

I wonder if Jenna is interested in "The Reader" and "Benjamin", especially the latter. What kind of Sacred Valley creativity can be produced based on the movie?

Men are inevitably curious. It must be very exciting to take pictures of Benjamin as an old man and as a child.

Martin received a drawer that also contained a collector's edition disc, the Sacred Valley version of "Wanted."

Lily quietly came over to take a look, and muttered: "How can you give something like this as a gift?"

"The Joneses are artists and think differently than others," Martin said.

"I'm an artist too." Lily declared herself, and then said, "My thoughts are normal."

Martin looked at Lily, too lazy to talk to her.

He has always known that he carries a carving knife in his pocket all day long.

Another helpful piece of mail came from neighbor Gillian Flynn, a handwritten note.

Gillian was afraid of disturbing Martin's filming in New York, so she did not call him rashly. She wrote the beginning of the novel mentioned last time. If Martin came back, she planned to show Martin the first draft of the beginning.

Martin took the cell phone, dialed Gillian's number, waited for her to get through, and told her directly that he had returned to Los Angeles and was currently at home.

Lily helped Martin and Bruce pack their luggage and talked about what happened before: "You sent me photos of the Affleck brothers last time, do you remember?"

Martin immediately asked: "What, are they causing trouble for you?"

"Casey Affleck bought a sculpture of me, just today..." Lily quickly recounted what happened before.

Bruce answered and said to Martin: "They know you are difficult to deal with, so they attack the young and inexperienced people around you."

Lily stretched out one hand from her pocket, and the small carving knife circled her fingertips like dancing butterflies.

Martin asked: "What do you think?"

Lily actually had a lot of ideas: "I originally planned to find a place and poke 108 holes in his body with a carving knife. It was a self-defense."

Bruce reminded: "Don't mess around."

"I've seen too many scoundrel bastards like him since I was a kid." Lily grew up in a different environment: "As far as the Clayton community is concerned, there are a lot more dangerous people than he can easily pull out."

She suddenly laughed: "Casey Affleck bought one of my sculptures at a high price and said he was also interested in my other sculptures. I think someone like him, even if he can't compare to Ben Affleck, must be Very rich too.”

Martin knew Lily so well that he knew what she wanted to do as soon as he heard it.

Lily said: "I have spent most of the past two years studying and practicing, and have accumulated a lot of practice works. I am very poor, and Casey Affleck is a rich man. In order to become financially independent as soon as possible, I want to try Let’s see if we can sell him a few more sculptures.”

Bruce finally understood why Elena always showed such iron-fisted love to her sister.

If you don't care about it, it will grow completely crooked!

Martin couldn't help but shake his head: "I remember that the pay given by the crew of The Dark Knight was not low."

"It's different." Lily knew very well that the work and remuneration of the Dark Knight crew had a lot to do with Martin.

She thought for a while and said, "Let me try it. If I encounter a situation, I will withdraw."

Martin looked at Bruce, and the old man nodded to him imperceptibly.

"Okay, please pay attention to safety." Martin believes that people cannot live in a greenhouse forever.

Lily nodded repeatedly, thinking about how to use this to sell more sculptures at high prices.

Idiot customers who come to your doorstep cannot pass up the opportunity to empty their wallets.

Bruce sent a message to the two bodyguards he hired all year round and assigned one of them to follow Lily.

In Los Angeles, a bodyguard's job would be much easier.

The doorbell rang at this time, and Gillian Flynn was outside the door.

Bruce opened the door, went out to greet the guests, and soon came in with Gillian.

Martin stood up and shook hands with her: "I just saw the letter you left. I'm sorry for not contacting you in time."

"It's my fault that you are busy with work." Gillian held some manuscripts in her hand: "I wrote part of the manuscript and wanted to share it with others, but I couldn't find a suitable partner. The writer's circle was in chaos and they were at odds with each other. It’s so common that I don’t dare to show it to my colleagues.”

Martin smiled and said: "It seems that my neighbor is trustworthy."

Jillian took the initiative to hand over the manuscript: "The value of my manuscript is at most your salary for a few days, or even less."

Martin took it and asked: "Is this the work you mentioned to me that was inspired by Agatha Christie's real-life cases?"

"Yes, it's the one I mentioned to you." Gillian said embarrassedly: "I can only write in my spare time, and my creation speed is very slow. I only wrote the first third of it in more than a year. The rest may take a year and a half, or even longer, because I don’t know if what I write is valuable.”
