American fame and fortune

Chapter 576 Too much of a trap

“Your coming is the best support for the cause of protecting women’s rights!”

At the entrance of the banquet hall, Jolie and Aniston were greeting guests.

This was a party held by the two people in the name of Mi Tu, and many victims of the Harvey case were invited to participate, such as Léa Seydoux, Aisha Argento and Anna Frank.

In addition, many media people, such as whistleblower Jody and Helen, who was the first to report on the talk show, also came to the party.

However, the most eye-catching people at the scene were Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Siebel.

Gavin found Martin, shook hands with him, and said, "You, and Mitu, have supported Jennifer through the most difficult period. As her husband, I must say thank you."

Martin has some experience in dealing with political creatures: "Gavin, you're welcome. This is what we should do and what we have been working hard to promote in the past few years. Women's legal rights and interests must be protected."

He knew that Gavin belonged to the family of the victim, so he specifically changed his stance: "Many of my friends, including Jolie, Léa Seydoux, and Charlize Theron, are all victims of Harvey. You know, they are all strong warriors!”

These words seemed to bring the distance a little closer, and Gavin praised: "Your friends are all outstanding."

After finishing his high-sounding words, Martin knew how to close the distance between men: "Excellent men like us will definitely have many outstanding female friends."

Gavin laughed and whispered, "I don't have many female friends."

The San Francisco gossip has exposed scandals in that area and has much less scruples about these matters.

"I'll come to Los Angeles often in the future." Martin said naturally, "You can also attend the gatherings of the Coca-Cola God."

Gavin asked: "When are you going to San Francisco to hold a Coca-Cola gathering?"

The two discussed the party and their female friends.

Until Julie came over with Jennifer Siebel.

Sibel asked: "What are you talking about? You seem very happy?"

Gavin smiled and said: "This is a secret between men, my dear, I can't tell you."

Sibel looked over at Martin, who spread his hands and expressed that he was helpless.

Julie said: "Men, there are always some ulterior things. Ignore them, come here, it's our turn."

There was nothing sad or solemn about this party. The atmosphere was very joyful. Everyone present saw the bright prospect of sharing the fruits of victory from Weinstein, and everyone was very happy.

Later, Jolie and Aniston went to the front desk together and pinned Mi Bunny's fists on Jennifer Siebel, Léa Seydoux and others.

This also marks that they have officially become members of the MiTo organization.

Coming off the stage, Jennifer Siebel came to Martin and Gavin again.

She said: "Returning to the familiar Los Angeles brings nightmares as well as good memories. I once wanted to be a big star like Julia Roberts, but unfortunately..."

Gavin acted like a model husband and encouraged: "My dear, the environment has improved, and it's not too late for you to pursue your dreams."

The couple sang together, and how could Martin not recognize it? He smiled and said: "Director David Fincher and I are about to collaborate on a work called "Gone Girl". Jennifer, if you are interested, you can come to the set to have a look. .”

Sibel said: "I will definitely go." She smiled: "In addition to being an actor, I also worked as a producer."

Martin knew that the other party did not mind talking about the past, and said with hatred: "Weinstein has deprived Hollywood of an outstanding producer. He should spend the rest of his life in prison to repent for the heinous crimes he committed." "

Gavin understands these words, and he needs to do this if he wants to create an image of a husband who loves his wife and family. He said: "Everyone is responsible for what they do, and Harvey is no exception."

No one can ignore the influence of this important figure in the California Donkey Party.

Gavin left here to discuss women's rights protection activities in San Francisco with Jolie and Aniston.

Sibel waited until her husband walked away and suddenly said: "Actually, I have a film project in hand. Last year, an old friend came to me and wanted to collaborate on a feature film. I was originally planning to make it, but this incident broke out and delayed it. "

"If you think the project is feasible, you can come to Burbank and find Davis Studio to cooperate." Martin thought of the funds invested by the Koreans again, and he could find a way to deduct a sum from it: "My studio has the most professional personnel.”

He won't address the fact that Davis Studios is essentially a handbag company.

Sibel said: "Then I will go to Burbank to find you another day."

Martin responded: "You can come anytime."

Today's party didn't last long. When the evening ended, Martin quietly got into Jolie and Aniston's car.

Aniston drove directly back to her home without asking any questions.

But Julie looked at Martin sideways and said with a smile: "Teacher, you and Sibel had a great time chatting?"

Martin blocked the way in advance: "We just talked about some movie things. She hasn't given up on Hollywood yet. She may want to have a heroine addiction for a while."

"Great!" Julie clapped her hands hard: "Red sofa, hidden rules, use them all! Remember to call me, I will accompany you to audition for her, then..."

Martin raised his hand and pinched Julie's thick lips: "Are you crazy?"

Aniston said: "She's not crazy, she's in the salon!"

Julie knocked Martin's hand off and said, "Isn't this your favorite thing to do?"

Martin denied: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't!"

Aniston couldn't stand listening anymore and reminded: "Harvey's wife Georgina Chapman!"

Jolie followed: "Stewart Townsend's fiancée Charlize Theron!"

"These are just accidents." Martin stopped messing around with them and returned to the previous topic: "Sibel and I were just talking about cooperation."

He added: "I'm not crazy yet."

Julie stopped joking and said seriously: "I'm not crazy, I'm just reminding you not to lose your mind."

Martin said: "Am I the kind of person who doesn't know what's important?"

Aniston interjected: "Angie, the two of us will take good care of him tonight, and Martin will be stable in the future."

Julie thought of a good idea: "How about this, let's be more proactive this time, I'm on top, and you're responsible for lifting me up to hit this bastard!"

"Oh, you have a beautiful idea!" Aniston was unhappy: "Why didn't you lift me up!"

Julie said: "Because I came up with the solution."

Aniston happened to drive the car into the house: "But you are coming to my house, and guests must follow the host's arrangements!"

Martin said: "Stop arguing, you all listen to me tonight!"

The absurdity of this night did not last long, because Martin was going to Warner Bros. to attend a collaborators meeting the next day. Warner Bros.'s new CEO Kevin Tsujihara would officially discuss future cooperation with Warner's partners.

Because he had an appointment with Louise, Martin came to Davis Studio first.

As soon as I entered the lobby of the small office building, I saw several Asians sitting in the waiting area.

When the middle-aged man saw Martin, he came over quickly and said, "Mr. Davis, long time no see."

Martin recognized him and Wu Maoting, a jewelry and jade investor from Myanmar, immediately shook hands with him and said with a smile: "It's been a while since I last saw him."

He pointed to the side of the stairs: "Please come from the top."

The group went upstairs and entered the reception room. Martin asked and had tea brought over.

Wu Maoting glanced at his men.

The latter immediately took out a gift box and handed it to him.

Wu Maoting placed the gift box on the table next to him: "I'm so presumptuous as to come here. A small gift is not a sign of respect."

The lid of the gift box is transparent, and Martin can see several cut rubies through the lid.

Although it's not big, it seems to be in good condition.

Martin had heard of the name of Burmese rubies, but didn't know much about them. He just glanced at them, then looked away and said, "Mr. Wu, you have a saying in the East, when you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something!"

Wu Maoting appeared hesitant, but said directly: "I want to continue to participate in Davis Studio film investment."

Martin said: "I remember you cooperated directly with Warner Pictures?"

"I apologize to you for my recklessness and short-sightedness." Wu Maoting said in detail: "Two years ago, I participated in the platter investment of "Terminator 2018". The production budget of the film was as high as 200 million U.S. dollars, and the final box office revenue was 371 million U.S. dollars. Warner The film industry told me that the film had incurred huge losses, and that the US$30 million I invested had only returned less than US$5 million."

He was very angry: "I asked a professional accounting firm to check Warner Pictures' bills, and they told me that there was no problem with the accounts. The entire film suffered a particularly serious loss."

Martin didn't pay much attention to the profit and loss of this film. Book losses were normal. When faced with external investors, the Big Six in Hollywood were best at accounting.

Sure enough, Wu Maoting said: "Warner Pictures borrowed money from New Line Cinema in order to raise funds, and the interest alone was as high as 20 million U.S. dollars! New Line, like Warner Pictures, is a subsidiary of Warner Brothers..."

Martin added: "Not every Hollywood company is like Davis Studios and Pacific Pictures."

"Yes, yes, I regret it very much." Wu Maoting sighed: "I sued Warner Pictures and spent huge legal fees to seek justice, but I lost the case."

Martin didn't say much. This result was not unexpected.

Wu Maoting said with full sincerity: "Mr. Davis, please forgive my ignorance and give me another opportunity to invest in Hollywood."

He encountered some problems in Myanmar and wanted to establish a foothold here, but he needed a channel to transfer funds, and the film industry was extremely suitable.

Of course, it can't be something like "Terminator 2018". Even if it cheats people, it's too cruel.

Hearing this, Martin thought of Sibel, thought for a moment, and said: "After 2008, there were a lot of troubles in Hollywood. Mr. Wu, if you want to invest, I welcome you, but there is no guarantee that the money you invest will make a profit." , I can’t even guarantee you that the cost will be recovered.”

His voice suddenly changed: "But one thing, I can guarantee that Davis Studio and Pacific Pictures will never do anything like Warner Pictures."
