American fame and fortune

That afternoon, the studio finalized Mia's contract as quickly as possible and obtained the relevant copyright of the script. Martin also officially named the script "La La Land".

Mia is not a qualified screenwriter now, but she works hard and is willing to learn, and the entire story is based on her relationship with Sebastian.

Even if there are any later revisions and polishes, they have to wait until she is finished.

Thomas specifically recommended to Martin a person who was good at revising and polishing scripts: "WMA's Carrie Fisher is the best at doing this in Hollywood."

Martin thought the name sounded familiar: "Carrie Fisher? It seems very famous."

Thomas Xin said that you are known as a fan of all Hollywood stars. You started watching movies at the age of three and started practicing at the age of ten, but you don't even know about the American national myth series.

"Princess Leia!" He was afraid that Martin wouldn't remember who Princess Leia was: "Leia Skywalker Solo."

When he heard the surname Skywalker, Martin understood: "She is good at this?"

Thomas explained: "In fact, Carrie Fisher's acting career has basically been at a standstill in these years, and she has also been addicted to drugs. Her wealthy life in these years has been maintained by the post-production of the Star Wars series and the remuneration for revising and polishing scripts. .”

He further said: "She may not be able to write the script alone. The creativity is a problem, but she is recognized in the industry as a good hand in revision and polishing."

Martin trusted Thomas' recommendation: "You are responsible for contacting her."

This project cannot be rushed. In Mia's condition, the script will definitely not be completed in less than half a year, and post-production polishing and modification will also take time.

After Thomas left, Bruce entered Martin's office and handed a file bag to Martin: "Daniel sent it here."

Martin opened it and looked at a list of films from Warner's library.

As one of the six major Hollywood companies, Warner has extremely rich financial resources. Martin saw familiar names such as "Casablanca", "The Wizard of Oz", "King Kong", and "The Shining" from this film list.

Even the rights to "The Shawshank Redemption" are still in the hands of Warner Bros.

Martin recalled while looking through them, looking for relevant memories. When he was about to get off work, he randomly circled three old movies and asked Bruce to hand them over to Jessica and Emily to discuss the remake authorization with Warner. Explore the way.

The big personnel changes at Warner Bros. could affect everyone, even collaborators.

Martin must be on guard, even against Daniel, who he has worked with in the past few years.

People's positions will always change according to their interests and buttocks.

Bruce came back soon and said, "Before I go to Atlanta, I have some personal matters and I have to leave."

"Okay, I'll give you a long vacation." Martin's words were normal at first, but then he changed his tone: "You want to go on a date with Sophia? Remember to bring the phone number of the anorectal department of the hospital..."

Bruce directly raised his hands and pointed his two middle fingers in front of Martin: "I'm going to accompany Kim and Khloe on vacation!"

Martin said: "Old Bu, can you be a human being? My dear sisters, are you so embarrassed to do this?"

Bruce was immune to Martin's attack and stared at him coldly.

Martin said disdainfully: "Don't use this expression, my moral level is much higher than yours."

As soon as he finished saying this, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Georgina Chapman calling. He answered the call and said, "Hi, honey."

Georgina over there asked: "Are you off work? I'm in your suite at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel."

Martin said: "Wait a moment, I will be there soon."

"Come here early, I've prepared a surprise for you." Georgina said "muma" and hung up the phone.

Martin put away his phone and found that Lao Bu was still looking at him and said, "It's time to get off work."

Bruce asked as he walked out: "I remember that Georgina Chapman and Harvey haven't divorced yet, right?"

Martin was so thick-skinned that he pretended not to understand anything: "We are going through the judicial process, which should be soon."

Bruce said: "Leonardo's judgment is particularly accurate."

Martin shook his head: "She soon got divorced and became single again."

Bruce smiled and said nothing, feeling that his moral level was far higher than Martin's.

The two got in the car and Bruce drove to Beverly Hills.

Martin picked up a newspaper and turned to the entertainment section when he saw a finger-sized piece of news in the corner. Ben Affleck temporarily left the state prison and entered the hospital for examination and treatment.

Sure enough, it’s soapy and funny!

This is yesterday's newspaper. Martin has always paid close attention to the news in the industry, and the big news has not gained any popularity at all.

In other words, no one in the mainstream entertainment media reported it.

Martin asked: "Is there no trouble with Da Ben?"

"No, there are some normal things in the prison. People who enter there do not have normal human rights." Bruce added a special sentence: "I heard from Mene that Ben went to the hospital to see the anorectal department."

Martin nodded: "Continue to entertain him."

Bruce told the truth: "I believe Ben will adapt to it soon and enjoy it."

Arriving in Beverly Hills, the car went directly into the hotel’s underground parking lot.

Martin went through the special elevator to the suite upstairs. As soon as he opened the door, he saw two black threads.

Georgina was born as a model, and she poses in a POSS that shows off her figure, which is extremely attractive.

Martin walked over quickly.

Georgina was extremely charming, and she did not forget to say: "I must pay for today's room, and I will pay with Harvey's money."

How could Martin refuse: "It's up to you."

Georgina took the initiative to get entangled.

Of course Martin would not be polite.

While the former was busy, he did not forget to say: "Please help me think of more ways to make Harvey's punishment more severe, so that I can divide more of his property."

"It's not a big problem." Martin responded.

Georgina added: "I will give you a generous reward!"

Martin asked, "Where's the reward?"

Georgina became more proactive, like Joan of Arc, holding a flag high in one hand and a sword in the other, riding on a horse: "Is this reward enough? There will be more in the future."

She was particularly positive and said: "I have met a few new supermodels and introduced them to the fashion supermodel group. I am planning to recruit them to join the group. When do you have time, I can test them!"

Martin thought to himself that this was too positive, and he began to take the initiative to recruit people. He immediately said: "After the New Year."

"I know all the rules." Georgina turned back and planned to contact AA, KK and the old fox who love to play and know how to play: "I will ask them to bring the latest physical examination report."

Martin praised: "You are becoming more and more sensible."

Georgina returned to the previous topic: "Can you get rid of Harvey? Then I will be the first heir."

Martin reminded: "Just think about this kind of thing. Don't act recklessly. It is very stupid to risk your own future for him."

Georgina just asked tentatively, her head still not confused, and said: "Then let Harvey become a long-term domestic violence against me!"

"I guarantee Harvey will be in prison for ten years," Martin said.

Georgina cheered for joy, her body seemed to be equipped with a motor, shaking wildly.

Martin suddenly found that he was communicating closely with Georgina, discussing how to make Harvey worse...

Why do I feel like a high official from Ximen? Harvey, have you taken your medicine?

This is okay, Martin knows very well that men don’t like to meet Ximen officials, but they all want to be Ximen officials.

After taking a shower in the bathroom, the two went to have dinner to replenish their strength for the next fierce battle.

In the restaurant, Georgina asked: "I can't wait for them to come here quickly. Can't we do it during the Christmas holiday?"

Martin wondered, is it so difficult to take a vacation? Said: "I can't do it on Christmas. I have to go back to Atlanta for something. I'll be back around New Year."

Georgina shrugged: "Okay, let's wait until after the New Year and I'll talk to them."

Martin reminded: "You are still concentrating on the divorce case. The property that is in your hands truly belongs to you."

Georgina nodded repeatedly: "I understand that no one can take away what belongs to me."

The number of victims in the Harvey case has exceeded one hundred. The case has caused a sensation all over the world. MiTu and the media have been keeping a close eye on it. The federal Ministry of Justice even sent a team over.

Lawyers all over the United States are eager to try, not to defend Harvey, of course, but to become victim advocates.

In addition to criminal proceedings, there must be civil proceedings involving huge compensation.

Even "Avatar", which is currently in theaters, cannot match the popularity and attention of Harvey Weinstein.

Even now, victims continue to appear, the earliest involving the late 1970s.

Among them, there are many people close to powerful people like Jennifer Siebel.

Martin no longer needs to take action and do anything, he can just watch and eat.

Georgina added: "The lawyer I hired was Nicole Kidman's attorney when Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were divorcing. He was best at handling divorce lawsuits for celebrities and rich people. At that time, Nicole Kidman In the divorce, German not only got at least US$70 million in assets from Tom Cruise, but also put all the blame on Tom Cruise."

"This lawyer sounds great," Martin said.

Georgina said: "I will introduce you to me another day."

Martin shook his head directly: "I don't need this kind of lawyer."

Georgina could understand: "Okay, great celibate."

After the meal, the two went directly back to the suite. The room was large enough and they could find enough entertainment items.

In the following days, Martin attended the screening meetings organized by the crew and David Fincher almost every day. He also canvassed votes for himself in a timely manner, after all, he could win the Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" has always had a good reputation and a stable box office trend. Before the new weekend, the North American box office easily exceeded 100 million US dollars. It is widely predicted within and outside the industry that the North American box office of this film will be around 200 million US dollars.

"Avatar" is currently sweeping everything in the North American film market. The box office of the second weekend is almost the same as the box office of the first weekend. James Cameron almost repeated the miracle of the box office decline of the big box office that year.

Before Christmas, Martin and Lily left Los Angeles and returned to Atlanta.
