American fame and fortune

In the consulting room of the psychology clinic, Dr. Laura, whose blond hair was in a ponytail, looked at Martin in surprise: "You're not going to sleep on the sofa today?"

Martin smiled: "Sleeping on the sofa is boring."

Laura took off her gold-rimmed glasses.

Martin said: "I have a question for you. If a person is in a hurry for money, does not have enough cash in his hand, and his wife does not agree to sell fixed assets, will he make money through other industries or professions?"

Laura thought for a while and analyzed: "Everyone has ideological inertia and professional circles. Even if he wants to make money through other industries or professions, normally his first choice will be a job related to his own job."

Martin nodded: "For example, if I can't make money as an actor in a short period of time, I will still do performance-related work."

"You are not included." Laura said seriously: "You may become a dangerous person, such as robbing the gold reserved by the Federal Reserve."

Martin laughed, chatted with Laura for a while, and left the clinic.

After going out and getting in the car, Martin asked Bruce: "How much does the victim claim from Casey Affleck?"

Bruce said: "The US$3 million is not a random statement. It is a reasonable compensation calculated by the lawyer based on the serious psychological problems that will inevitably arise after the victim's identity is revealed."

"It's a pity that Cassie has no money." Martin had already considered this: "His financial situation is very poor. According to the content of Lily's chat with him, it seems that money was specially raised when purchasing those statues."

Bruce responded: "The Affleck brothers have a very good relationship, and Ben has been supporting this younger brother."

Martin said: "Brotherly love should be touching, but it is used by bad people to make a fuss..."

"So, you are a bad person." Bruce revealed Martin's true nature: "You always like to use other people's advantages to attack others."

Martin thought of Elizabeth, and a sentence from a super brainless villain suddenly popped into his head: "He has messed with the wrong person."

When Bruce heard this, he had the urge to take out a gun and blow Martin's head to pieces.

This is too pretentious.

Martin took out his cell phone and called Nicholson: "Man, we're out to get someone!"

Nicholson has money and time, but the only thing he lacks is fun: "Haha, it seems everything is going well."

He stopped laughing: "Just wait, leave it to me at the Adler Acting School."

Martin reminded: "Just try it, no need to take risks, especially you, you are old, don't rush forward stupidly."

"What do you mean I'm old?" Nicholson patted the girl next to him and said, "Jennifer, tell that bastard Martin, am I very young and very strong?"

Jennifer Lawrence crawled forward and shouted: "Jesus, Jack, please slow down. What did you use? An iron rod?"

Nicholson touched her cheek.

Jennifer Lawrence showed off her acting skills that belied her age. She was out of breath for a while, and then she gradually regained her breath and said, "I'm sorry, I was so excited just now that I couldn't hold it back for a while."

Nicholson found that Martin had hung up the phone and consciously made a comeback. He couldn't help but feel proud and said: "Very good, Jennifer, your acting skills have improved very quickly. As your teacher, I am proud of you."

He suddenly remembered that Martin also had a female student: "Whenever I have time, I will take you to a party. You must compare with that bastard student of Martin!"

Jennifer Lawrence said: "Teacher, I will definitely not embarrass you."

Nicholson thought for a while and then said: "I will give you a job to do another day. If you do it well, I will be responsible for helping you find a significant role."

The actor, who is like an old fox, knows very well what an eighteen-year-old girl wants.

Resources and characters, of course!

Is it possible that his old skin is wrinkled, his belly is as big as a ball, and he is as soft as a marshmallow?

Jennifer Lawrence has been waiting for this since she met Nicholson two years ago, and she responded immediately: "Jack, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

After all, Nicholson was old and said: "Okay, let me have a good sleep. Except for Martin and Leonardo, don't worry about anyone else calling."

Jennifer Lawrence has been with him on and off for two years, and she also knows that apart from family members, those two are the ones with whom Nicholson currently has the best relationship.

Before Nicholson closed his eyes and went to sleep, he warned: "Our relationship must be kept secret."

Jennifer Lawrence quickly said: "I haven't mentioned it to anyone."

…………

Ben drove his Volvo and parked it outside his house.

He didn't get out of the car immediately, but opened the locker, took out a bottle of whiskey, opened it and took a few sips.

The alcohol fell into his stomach, and his anxious mood calmed down a lot.

Ben got out of the car and entered the house, asked Jennifer Garner to hand the child over to the nanny, and said, "Discuss one thing."

Garner followed him to the yard: "What about Cassie?"

Daben asked: "You know everything."

Garner dusted off his hands: "It's all over the gossip papers."

"Cassie has been plotted..." Daben explained the matter roughly: "The situation is very troublesome now."

Garner crossed his arms: "So? We have to pay him compensation that may be as high as 3 million US dollars?"

Big Ben said: "Cassie has no money."

"Do we have money?" Garner stated the facts and reasoned: "How much money have we earned since Daredevil and Elektra? The salary in the past few years is barely enough to support family expenses. How can we have so much money? ?"

Ben tentatively said, "I want to sell my house in Miami."

Garner refused: "I don't agree! It's the place where we spent our honeymoon after getting married. It has special meaning to us, and there are other fixed properties. Now that the economy is down, we will lose a lot of money if we sell it! Besides, Cassie, we usually help Does he still have less? Is he over thirty years old? He is not a teenager!"

"Cassie is my brother!" Ben couldn't help but raise his voice: "He is my relative!"

Garner's voice also rose: "I am your wife, and there is your child inside!"

The couple inevitably quarreled and eventually broke up.

Big Ben went out for lunch and had to go to the Adler Acting School in the afternoon. Originally, he intended to quit his job after Elizabeth Olsen missed classes continuously, but the contract he signed stipulated the minimum teaching hours.

Celebrities are paid a lot of money as part-time teachers, and if they break the contract, they will also have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.

In the wake of the national economic crisis, all of Hollywood is experiencing a money shortage. As far as actors are concerned, now they can't even reach the second level. And they are used to big expenses, so money is also very tight.

Daben suppressed his impatience and came to Adler Acting School to continue taking classes.

Entering the temporary office, he heard several senior acting teachers from the school chatting.

Although these people are also experienced actors, they are not stars. Actors are more like their part-time jobs.

"The school has just recruited a large number of young students. The class I gave to one of the classes this morning was too difficult." The middle-aged bald teacher shook his head: "I don't even understand the basics, so I just dream of becoming a star in Hollywood and making a lot of money."

The big nose next to him said: "The school is no longer the school it used to be. Now it only cares about money and accepts all kinds of messy students."

The standing woman with ponytail answered: "A few training courses cost 6,000 US dollars, how much is the actual investment? The money comes in too fast, why doesn't the school enroll students? The shareholders have made a lot of money."

The slightly famous acting schools or celebrity training classes in Los Angeles charge ridiculously high fees.

There are many students who borrow money or even take loans to go to school because they feel that they are only one step away from success.

The bald man added at this time: "This batch has recruited four classes, hundreds of people. Unless the second generation stars or have the resources behind them to support them, the others will not be able to get rid of the status of extras throughout their careers until they leave Los Angeles or change careers."

Ponytail said: "These are not things we should worry about. After this group leaves, the next group will come soon. There will never be a shortage of young people in North America who dream of becoming stars. They are like pasture, harvested by schools like ours." One crop after another, but new ones keep popping up.”

Big Nose said: "I secretly asked about the school's financial report. It's really profitable."

Da Ben interrupted: "Don't you plan to set up your own acting school?"

"Us?" The bald head laughed: "Ben, you think too highly of us. We have no money, no reputation, no resources. If we really want to open an acting class, even recruiting students will be a problem, let alone a large number like the Adler School. Introducing actors to serve as backdrops on Hollywood crews and actually experience acting.”

"Adler's resources are unmatched by other schools," Oben said.

Ponytail asked: "Aren't there many Hollywood stars who offer acting classes? Marlon Brando started one in 2000, and even kicked Leonardo out of the classroom on the spot."

She returned to the topic: "Ben, you didn't want to open a restaurant?"

Da Ben rarely has a clear mind: "My reputation and resources are still a little bit behind. It's too difficult to do this."

"But the money comes so fast, just a few classes and a lot of US dollars." The bald head pointed to some young people in the distance: "People like this will still flow into Los Angeles in large numbers in ten or twenty years." .”

Ben looked over there. He was one of the many dream chasers back then and understood the situation of those people.

Even if there is even the slightest hope, I dare to rush forward and give everything I can to bet on the slim possibility of success.

Not to mention money, even if it is other costs, they dare to pay it casually.

In the Los Angeles area, there are many acting schools that recruit newcomers like this.

Studio Four in Burbank is one of them.

Jennifer Lawrence came to the door of Studio Four carrying a bag, just like many girls chasing their dreams.

The most eye-catching thing here is the large poster of James Frank, as well as posters of his movies and famous roles.

Studio Four is an acting training school run by James Franco.

Of course, the scale and reputation are much smaller than Adler.

Jennifer Lawrence entered the door and was immediately greeted by the receptionist.

"Excuse me, do you teach acting here?" Jennifer Lawrence pointed to Franco's portrait on the background board at the front desk: "Is James Franco teaching in person?"
