American fame and fortune

White House, ballroom.

The dressed-up girls gathered together and chatted about topics of interest to each other. Elizabeth told some anecdotes about the Hollywood crew, which attracted the attention of Guan Hai's eldest daughter Maria, and the two soon started a heated discussion on this topic.

On the other side, Chief of Staff Ram whispered a few words into Guan Hai's ear.

Guan Hai nodded slightly: "I'll go talk to Martin for a while."

Although they just took office at the beginning of the year, Guanhai's team is already preparing for the next term.

The Coca-Cola Cult, which has a broad popular base, is a force that cannot be ignored.

Guan Hai talked with several major shareholders and executives of Coca-Cola, and they all admitted one thing. Even the Coca-Cola Group has far less influence on the Coca-Cola Cult than the leader Martin.

Coca-Cola hired Martin as a lifelong spokesperson because of its own urgent needs.

When Martin saw Guan Hai approaching, he turned around and greeted him proactively: "Mr. President."

Guan Hai smiled and said, "We are all old friends. Call me Barack."

The people around him automatically spread out, including Spielberg, who had been chatting about movies with Martin.

Guan Hai chatted with Martin.

Others around him were envious. The influence of this Hollywood star far exceeded the movie itself.

Nineteen-year-old Sasha Spielberg came to her father's side, somewhat dissatisfied: "Martin Davis has only been famous for a few years, why did he receive such a warm reception!"

Spielberg was so clear-headed that he pointed to the seal on Martin: "First, he risked his life to do it; second, there is a Coca-Cola cult with tens of millions of people behind him, and he is the leader, although The structure of the organization is very loose, but his influence cannot be ignored.”

Sasha still doesn't quite understand.

Spielberg turned his head and glanced at Elizabeth Olsen, who was chatting with Maria. She was only one year older than Sasha, but she was much more sensible.

Sasha was so well protected by the couple.

Spielberg feels that if Martin turns to politics, his foundation will be much stronger than that of George Clooney, who is trying to jump into politics.

The luncheon didn't last long, and before half past one, the guests left one after another.

When Martin went out, Benjamin sent him to the parking place and whispered: "Master, the brothers who didn't take a photo yesterday were very happy after getting your signed photo. Let me express my gratitude to you."

Elizabeth said that Martin's followers have grown to the White House.

Martin nodded: "In a while, the Church of Coca-Cola will hold several events in Washington. I will ask someone to give you invitations."

Benjamin was very happy: "Okay."

The work of the special team is actually very boring, and the Coca-Cola Cult can bring a lot of fun.

Martin got in the car and asked Lao Bu to drive back to the hotel.

After the car left the White House, Elizabeth said: "I talked to Maria and she was very interested in joining a large Hollywood film crew for summer practice activities."

Martin thought for a while and said: "Nolan's crew will move to Los Angeles and Canada for filming in a while. I told Nolan and Warner to let her join the crew to participate in practice."

Elizabeth said: "Okay, I will bring a few people of similar age to the set to play together."

Martin sincerely praised: "Liz, you did a great job!"

Elizabeth hugged his arm: "Actually, I learned it from my sisters. They are much better than me. If I can learn half of what they do, that's good."

Martin kissed her on the cheek.

Lily in the passenger seat couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I'm very full from lunch. If you feed me dog food again, I'm going to vomit."

Martin said: "Should I let you off the car?"

"You took a lot of photos?" Elizabeth changed the subject and asked Lily, lying on the passenger seat: "Let's take a look at it when we go back and select materials for your creation."

Lily just smiled happily.

In the White House, in the lounge, Michelle heard what Maria said, thought about it carefully for a while, and found her husband.

While her husband was resting, she quietly went over and talked about this family matter.

"Martin Davis's girlfriend Elizabeth?" Guanhai listened to his wife's description: "Christopher Nolan's crew?"

"Nolan is the director who shot The Dark Knight on the Warner Bros. project," Michel said.

The eldest daughter wanted to go to a film crew to participate in summer internship. Guanhai knew about it a few days ago and casually said to chief of staff Ram that after all, his brother Ali is one of the most famous entertainment agents in Hollywood.

Hollywood's top crew, top directors, and top stars are indeed a good fit.

Guan Hai called Ram and after hanging up, he said, "Maria is interested, just let her go."

"She'll be happy to know you said yes," Michelle said.

Guan Hai was in a good mood today and said, "Martin Davis is very knowledgeable and interesting."

Michelle nodded, left to find her daughter, and called Elizabeth Olsen to negotiate for her daughter to join the crew after going to Los Angeles.

…………

In the hotel room, Elizabeth put down the phone and said, "It's done."

Martin contacted Nolan again when he came back and lightly tapped her cheek: "Thank you for your hard work."

Elizabeth asked: "Are you going back to Africa next?"

Martin responded: "When I went back to continue filming, Nolan said he couldn't live without me. He said that without me, the crew would be dead and lack fun and excitement."

Elizabeth went to change into her daily clothes and said, "That sounds strange."

"Maybe it's because I'm not on the crew and there's no one to make trouble, so Nolan isn't used to it." Martin could vaguely guess some of Nolan's thoughts: "If there is no trouble, there will be no publicity points, and the director will be under great pressure."

Elizabeth almost burst out laughing: "What a strange director."

Martin added: "There has never been a director like Nolan in Hollywood before. He is a completely new type."

Elizabeth didn't quite understand: "He's not as good as the four major directors, right?"

"That's not what I'm talking about." Martin said on the other hand: "He has die-hard fans similar to celebrities, like me but not others. His fans can't tolerate anyone saying something bad about him."

Elizabeth thought about IMDB's three-way battle: "Like what Dark Knight fans did on IMDB for The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption?"

Martin nodded: "Absolutely." He collected the Grand Medal and the Star Medal and handed them to Elizabeth: "I won't be able to stay in Morocco for long. The crew will return to Los Angeles for filming soon. You and Lily should not go there. Those places in Africa are not very Safety."

Elizabeth packed the grand medal and star medal into her suitcase: "Okay, I'll go back to Los Angeles and prepare to receive Maria."

Bruce knocked on the door and said, "I have your phone number."

Martin opened the door and asked, "Who called?"

Bruce glanced at Elizabeth, and seeing that Martin didn't express anything, he said directly: "The female editor is Rachel who mentioned literary adaptation a few days ago. Didn't she claim that she had a suitable novel that she wanted you to read?"

Martin asked Elizabeth: "Are you interested in accompanying me to see a project?"

Elizabeth smiled and shook her head: "I have to pack my luggage. You and Lao Bu can go."

Martin picked up his coat and left the room with Bruce.

Halfway through, Martin changed to the trio's special cell phone that Nicholson had given him after the Santa Monica Pier incident and called Neves.

"Man, the fishermen are here again," he said.

Neves had heard Martin tell the specifics before: "If the bait is right, you can eat the bait and throw the hook away."

He emphasized: "Never bring a fishhook to a private occasion. You have seen the FBI's style."

Martin actually participated twice, and both times it was Russia's bad luck.

Neves added: "The leader of that group is one level below me. As long as you don't get caught by the fishhook, everything else is easy. I will fight back soon and send him overseas to make contacts." official."

Martin felt confident and went downstairs with Old Boo to the cafe next door, where he met Kate and Rachel again.

Seeing the two of them entering the door, Rachel whispered: "As expected, he didn't bring his girlfriend here, and he still has those thoughts about us."

Kate asked: "Are you ready over there?"

After the last meeting, Rachel and her boss analyzed it carefully and felt that it should not be rushed. One or two times may not be enough to dispel Martin Davis' wariness.

When the two sides become more familiar, some things will happen naturally...

After Martin came over, he shook hands with Kate and Rachel, pulled out a chair and sat across from them.

Today, the two women changed their styles, wearing long skirts, light makeup, and sweet smiles, a bit like Elizabeth Olsen's daily style.

Martin suspects that next time the two of them may adopt the style and temperament of Jolie and Aniston.

Kate smiled sweetly and said: "Congratulations, you have been awarded the Distinguished Presidential Medal of Freedom."

Rachel said something similar.

"Thank you." Martin asked Bruce to order a few cups of coffee, and then got down to business and asked Rachel: "You said on the phone that you brought a literary project suitable for film adaptation?"

Rachel nodded and said, "Yes, we have discussed it internally and feel that it has great potential for adaptation."

This is a work that her team found overnight. In order to be authentic and credible, they even forged the name of the publisher and contacted the author.

Of course they would not dare to use the works of famous writers, which would be very troublesome if something went wrong.

Therefore, I specifically looked for a science fiction novel that had some reputation online but had not attracted the attention of publishers and was only updated on my personal website.

The FBI has a special Hollywood liaison office, where Rachel once worked as an assistant. It has been roughly estimated that adapting this novel into a movie would require an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Such a project would definitely not be discussed for a while. She could engage in various ways with Martin to enhance the relationship.

Martin asked directly: "Did you bring the work?"

Rachel opened her briefcase, took out a document bag, and handed it over.

Martin next found that it was full of printed manuscripts, and looked to the other side in confusion.

Rachel explained: "It has not been published yet and is being serialized online."

Martin nodded, took out the bound printed manuscript, and saw the name on the cover - The Martian!
