American fame and fortune

In the apartment near Central Park, Martin finished washing his face with facial cleanser and panted heavily. He was really enjoying himself.

Alexandra Daddario's talent advantage is too great.

Martin took a deep breath and said, "It's killing me!"

Alexandra got up and poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Martin, and asked, "Did the director call just now?"

Martin took a sip of wine and felt his breathing became really smooth before he said, "Chad went to the midnight show and was probably stimulated."

Alexandra clinked glasses with Martin and said before drinking: "Will you come to New York to see me often from now on? I'm so lonely."

While she was talking, she sat on Martin's lap, and her talent was so generously displayed in front of Martin's eyes.

Martin is a good person with a conscience, and he had previously introduced Alexandra to star in a project produced by Wes Craven, a horror film called "The House".

The heroines of horror movies do not have very high requirements for acting skills, but their figure and appearance are generally outstanding.

Therefore, Alexandra is active and proactive.

Martin was sure that Alexandra was very talented. He took a bite and said, "Of course, come more often."

In the morning, when Martin and Alexandra were sitting in the dining room, enjoying the latter's elaborate breakfast, Martin's cell phone rang.

An unknown number is displayed.

Martin answered, but it was Chad's voice that came from the receiver: "I went to a midnight show last night and chose a remote theater. I was robbed and my phone was robbed by a clown..."

Hearing Chad's description, Martin couldn't help but laugh: "You are so confident in the security of New York that you go to a remote theater alone."

"I think that kind of place is more representative," Chad said.

Martin thought for a moment and said, "I'm not in the hotel now. I'll be there in a moment."

After a quick breakfast, Alexandra drove Martin back to the Hilton Hotel.

The crew rented a hotel conference room, and when Martin entered, in addition to Chad and Marcus, Louise and Daniel also arrived.

Daniel said: "Anyway, this is eye-catching news."

Chad is not as thick-skinned as Martin, saying, "It always feels a little embarrassing."

Louise said: "You don't want the movie to be more topical? And you have already called the police. There will be relevant reports no later than tomorrow."

Chad thought about the movie box office, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

Martin thought more: "The person who robbed Chad was dressed as a clown... How about this, I try to appeal to him to return Chad's mobile phone."

Louise answered: "Will he return it? Will the PD not take the opportunity to arrest him?"

"Let's just say he borrowed Chad's cell phone." Martin understood the style of the PDs: "An ordinary iPhone costs only a few hundred dollars. Even if the NYPD catches him, the expenditure far exceeds the gain. Generally speaking, this kind of thing They will all turn a blind eye."

For such small cases, PDs are also good at calculating the economic accounts.

Daniel immediately grasped the essence: “This will get media attention.”

He asked a crucial question: "What if he doesn't return it?"

Martin laughed: "What we want is not mobile phones, but attention."

He looked at Chad: "You don't have to force yourself if you don't agree."

This was the first film directed by Martin. He wanted the film to be a success even more than Chad did. He only thought about it for two seconds and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Martin nodded and asked, "You don't have any nude photos on your phone, do you?"

"No." Chad still had some confidence: "The mobile phone you gave me last year, I have been focusing on movies, so I don't have time or energy to care about women."

Several people formulated a strategy and immediately informed the professional team. However, half an hour later, a new message appeared on Martin's personal blog.

"Chad Starsky, the director of "John Wick", lent his cell phone to a fan last night. He was in a hurry when he left and forgot his cell phone. He hopes that the fan can contact the crew or Chad himself and send the cell phone to Manhattan. The front desk of Hilton Hotel is also available.”

There is also a temporary contact number at the back.

Soon, the news was forwarded by many websites.

Before noon, many reporters were jammed in front of the Hilton Hotel.

Anyone who has a little understanding of social reality can see that the so-called borrowing is just a euphemism.

Suddenly, the already popular video became even more popular.

Raya also saw Martin's statement and has been a fan of Martin and the Joker since The Dark Knight was released last year.

Originally a poor man, of course he actively learned from clowns, dressed up as a clown, and frequently engaged in zero-dollar purchases.

The Santa Monica Pier incident made him admire Martin even more. He is a Hollywood star with real fighting ability.

After watching the midnight show of "John Wick" last night, Raya was in high spirits. The movie was really enjoyable. He was so excited that he wanted to celebrate, but he happened to meet an unlucky guy holding an iPhone. .

If you come across it, you definitely can’t miss it.

Raya also didn't expect that the unlucky guy he robbed turned out to be the director of his favorite movie.

After thinking about it for a while at home, Raya logged on to the website again, checked out Martin's blog, and gave up on selling her phone.

Not only does he like clowns, he also joins the Coca-Cola Cult, and of course he must respond to the leader's call.

But Raya wouldn't do it if he sent it to the front desk of the Hilton Hotel. After all, he was carrying many robberies.

He could still consider being imprisoned in Arkham Asylum.

Raya just thought about it for a moment, then picked up her cell phone and left home, came to Manhattan, looked at the Hilton Hotel in the distance, put on a common shabby hat, found an unmonitored public phone nearby, and dialed the number she had written down. Number.

When the call was connected, he said in a choked voice: "The back door of Hilton Hotel, the first red trash can on the southwest side."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and walked over slowly, throwing the phone wrapped in a black plastic bag into the trash can as if it were trash.

He walked around and came to the hot dog shop across the road, bought a hot dog, sat behind the glass curtain wall, and looked at the trash can over there.

Raya hoped that the guru and idolized stars would not disappoint him.

Inside the hotel, Chad put down his cell phone, looked at Martin and Louise who were chatting, and said, "There was a call. The cell phone is in the trash can at the back door of the hotel."

Louise picked up the phone and dialed a number: "When you send out the message, just say there is news on the phone."

The assistant downstairs immediately took action and leaked the news to the reporters and paparazzi at the door.

Martin adjusted his clothes a little, put on the Cartier watch he had put aside in a very professional manner, and also held the new Nokia mobile phone in his hand, specially letting the side with the trademark be exposed.

Martin has always been reliable when it comes to getting paid to do things.

Chad hurried out.

Martin quickly followed.

Chad asked, "Are all the reporters at the front door?"

"It should be." Martin passed by a window and took a special look.

Chad is a newbie in terms of hype, and he worries: "But the phone is over there by the back door."

Martin reminded: "Can't we go out through the front door and go around to the back door?"

"That's okay!" Chad responded.

The two took the elevator downstairs, and under the protection of several hotel security guards and Bruce, they exited the hotel's main entrance.

At least twenty or thirty reporters gathered around and asked loudly: "Martin, has Director Chad's cell phone been found?"

"Someone said a mobile phone was delivered?"

"Where is he? Can he be interviewed by us?"

Martin didn't speak. He glanced at Chad, who said loudly: "Let's get the mobile phone now, and the people in front should give way."

The reporters and paparazzi in front automatically got out of the way.

Martin and Chad walked around the hotel and came to the back door, where they immediately saw the red trash can on the southwest side.

Chad ran over and reached out to touch his cell phone. He didn't know who threw the uneaten ice cream, and he touched the milky white liquid in his hand.

The surrounding cameras and camera lenses simultaneously recorded the embarrassing scene of the newly popular action film director.

"John Wick" is so popular that no one is paying attention to it.

These related news all represent traffic and money.

Chad wiped off the milky white on his hands and finally took out a black plastic bag. After opening it, it contained an Apple mobile phone.

The flashes lit up wildly, and Chad entered the power-on password and turned on the Apple mobile phone under more than a dozen shots. The background image of the mobile phone was a photo of him controlling the camera on the set.

"It's my mobile phone!" After experiencing this, Chad gained some experience and showed the screen of his mobile phone to the reporters: "He sent it back!"

After the reporters took pictures of the mobile phone, they turned their cameras to other places, trying to find the person who gave the mobile phone.

In the hot dog shop, Raya finished her hot dog slowly and couldn't help laughing when she saw the reporters surrounding Chad and Martin again.

The leader did not disappoint him and did not bring the NYPD!

Raya is a veteran of zero-yuan shopping, and he can smell the smell of PD from fifty meters away.

He took out a BlackBerry he had snatched last month, opened it, logged into the IMDB website, clicked on the "John Wick" column, and spoke in the comments section.

"Martin is a good star who takes the initiative to protect his fans. I will always admire Martin! Long live the leader!"

After the comment was posted, Raya left the hot dog shop and stayed away from the Hilton Hotel.

News and news related to "John Wick" continue to stimulate the audience's desire to enter the theater to watch. Although it is not a PG or PG-13 family favorite, the R-rated film will also lose a considerable number of young viewers, but all The theaters showing "John Wick" still maintained extremely high attendance rates.

On its first day of release in North America, the film grossed US$21.78 million at the box office in 3,806 theaters, setting a record for the highest single-day box office in March in North America!

In the past, no movie in Hollywood could earn more than 20 million at the box office in a single day during the traditional off-season of March.
