American fame and fortune

Night, Sherman Oaks, in the mansion on the south hillside.

Louise stood alone behind the bar, quickly shook the cocktail shaker in her hand, and hit the wooden bar with a bang.

This sound woke up a pair of wild mandarin ducks.

Martin turned his head and said, "Hey, dear, are you so angry?"

Leaning against the bar, Kelly Gray, who was squatting down, supported Martin, stabilized his body, and said: "I have just been elected to the Georgia State Assembly. Can't you congratulate me properly?"

Louise unscrewed the shaker, poured three cocktails, and said, "His girlfriend's twin sister lives next door. I'm afraid they'll knock on the door."

"That's just right." Perhaps because she became darker and more courageous after joining the political circle, Kelly leaned on Martin and said, "We can let them join in together."

Martin was a serious man, so he flicked her forehead and said, "Don't act like a wolf."

Kelly picked up the wine glass and fed it to Martin: "I apologize, is that okay?" She asked: "How are you going to congratulate me?"

Martin had already thought about it and said: "Communicate well tonight."

Kelly was stunned for a moment, thinking that there was no point in communicating and congratulating people.

But Louise understood it, laughed happily, and said while laughing: "She doesn't need it, just communicate with me."

"You guys..." Kelly understood: "Then don't waste time. Without good communication, there is no emotional release!"

The villa became lively.

After celebrating Kelly, the three of them sat side by side on high chairs, drinking wine and chatting together.

"We haven't been together like this for a long time." Louise poured wine for the other two people: "In the two years when you first came to Los Angeles, the three of us often had gatherings."

“I come here quite often now,” Martin said.

"Much less." Louise said quietly, "I actually miss the past."

Kelly pinched her gently and said, "It means you are old."

"You are old!" Louise squeezed back with one hand and used the other to tear Kelly's mouth apart: "You are the old woman!"

Not to be outdone, Kelly used force with her hands, and the two of them fell on the carpet, shouting at the same time: "Martin, come and help me."

Martin took out his mobile phone, brought up the photography interface, and pressed shooting: "Use some strength, how can you catch the explosion without using strength? Kelly, you are at a disadvantage, grab Louise's hair, grab Louise's hair! Damn it, I I’m asking you to grab the hair on top!”

The two of them let go of their hands in a tacit understanding, grabbed Martin at the same time, and dragged him to the carpet.

The noise gradually grew louder, seeming to make the ceiling tremble.

After a long time, Kelly and Louise each took one of Martin's arms and rested their heads on it.

Seeing that the two of them were enjoying themselves, and at the time when he was at his best emotionally, Martin got to the point: "Has Representative Erica been elected to the Senate?"

This female politician who held a pink kettle aloft was the representative of the Georgia Donkey Party.

Kelly half-joked: "It's not easy. The kettle back then laid an excellent foundation for her."

"I want to get Harvey Weinstein," Martin said directly, "I remember he is also on the Donkey Party side."

Kelly frowned: "Why?"

Martin has always been suspicious: "I think the last shooting incident on the Nolan crew was related to Harvey's gang. The real target was me, but I have always paid attention to the issue of firearms, so the unlucky one became the British guy..."

He said: "How can I take such precautions every day? If I neglect it a little bit, I will be finished. When I am finished, Davis Studio will be finished as well."

Louise propped herself up: "You mean, if all your projects are finished, we won't be able to make money from you, right?"

Martin does not overestimate the importance of communication: "Just tell me, what is my vision in selecting films and projects?"

Kelly and Louise stopped talking. They have been investing in movies chosen by Martin. They have not only made huge profits over the years, but as Martin climbs up the ladder step by step, his business appeal is getting stronger and stronger, and the profits will only be greater in the future. rich.

It’s not difficult to find a replacement for that thing, maybe a clown statue, but such people and projects are so hard to find.

Kelly giggled: "See, I told you that he has deep thoughts and uses those things and interests to tie us together for ulterior motives."

But Louise kept thinking and said, "It's just the three of us, I won't do it."

"It's not just us, I have united many people and forces..." Martin elaborated on the current situation, as well as his own ideas and plans.

He said: "Remember that Congressman Erica is based on fighting for and defending women's rights. This is an opportunity for her."

Kelly thought of the kettle from back then.

Martin said: "It works well, this is a hundred or even a thousand times more popular than the kettle!"

There are also factions within the Donkey Party. Kelly thought about it for a while and said: "We can try it. We don't have to rush to the front. If the situation is not right, give up. The influence of the Coke God Cult is getting bigger and bigger, and no one will ignore you."

Louise then said: "Really speaking, Harvey's net worth may not be as rich as yours, let alone his influence in various states. He is better than you because of his years of accumulation. In five or six years, you yourself will be I can defeat him."

Martin hugged the two men: "There is still a possibility that I will be fucked by him before I last five years."

Kelly stood up: "We have to pay a lot for you, and now it's time for you to pay!"

The next morning, when Martin left, his steps were a little sloppy, and he looked like a wolf and a tiger at his age, which was really a bit scary.

…………

Warner TV, the recording of the new episode of "The Helen Show" was completed. Helen, who is one of the top three female talk show hosts in North America along with Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres, came out of the studio to remove her makeup.

The assistant knocked on the door and came in and said, "Boss, Damian called and wants to ask you to have dinner with you at noon."

Helen didn't think anything about it: "Turn it down. I don't have time to pay attention to him. Let the driver prepare and take me to Beverly Hills. Martin made an appointment with me."

The assistant immediately went out to make arrangements.

An hour and a half later, Helen came to Martin's house as agreed.

Martin had asked the chef to prepare lunch.

The two had experienced the Burbank High School incident together and were closer than ordinary friends.

Martin invited Helen into the restaurant and chatted while eating.

Helen asked: "You said there was important news or inside information leaked to me?"

"Old friend, just watch it." Martin picked up the remote control and turned on the TV in the restaurant. The LCD screen played the video Ivan bought.

When Helen saw Harvey Weinstein's chubby face, she subconsciously put down her knife and fork and focused entirely on the screen.

This was a game of coercion and deception. When the woman kept refusing, the tall and strong fat man said something like, "It's no use shouting that your throat is broken," and pressed forward with his huge body and weight.

Helen was a woman, and strictly speaking she was a member of the entertainment industry. Not only had she heard about unspoken rules, but she had even experienced them herself.

In this industry, beautiful women are not immune at all.

In the eyes of fans, the noble goddess is just a proactive and attentive member of the boss's red sofa.

But as Hollywood has developed to this day, it's more of a willing transaction.

There are too many beautiful women in the entertainment industry. Without this one, there are countless others.

If you don't take the initiative, there will be countless people waiting in line behind you, so there is no need to use force at all.

But the person in the picture seems to particularly like the simple, crude and direct approach.

At the end of the video, there is the temptation and warning from the fat man.

It's nothing more than that set of rules that will provide her with opportunities and roles. If she doesn't follow the arrangements, her career as an actress will be completely over, she will never get ahead, and there will even be more serious consequences.

The video finished playing, followed by a recording of a phone call in which the person on the other end of the phone, claiming to be Matt Damon, issued a stern warning to the victim.

Helen couldn't believe it: "It's really Matt Damon. He doesn't look like this kind of person."

Martin said: "The person who used to do this job should be Ben Affleck, but Ben is no longer a deterrent."

Helen nodded slightly: "I haven't heard from Big Ben for a long time."

"It's the same here." After the shooting, Martin asked people to check for the latest updates on Pete and Ben, but they were never found. Los Angeles is too big.

He asked: "What do you think of the news value?"

"It's so big that it's immeasurable, and it will have an explosive news effect." Helen is no longer the young reporter who rushed up with a camera in her arms. Now that she has become famous, she can no longer take huge risks: "But if you don't do it right, you will blow yourself up." .”

Before it was changed to Burbank Middle School, no one could stop her from reporting this kind of news, and she had to work hard to report it.

Martin placed himself with her: "So, we can't rush ahead."

Helen's words changed again: "If it's appropriate, I don't want to miss such news."

Martin pointed to the TV screen: "How about having her on your talk show?"

Helen said: "As long as the time is right, no problem." She thought for a moment: "It would be best to find a few more."

Martin nodded slightly: "We are thinking of a way. Before that, we remain silent."

Helen said: "The silence now is for the future explosion."

Not long after lunch, Helen said goodbye and left.

Martin received a call from the community committee, and a vice chairman immediately came to visit.

"Mr. Davis, I have taken the liberty to come here this time to ask about one thing." The vice chairman knew that the community was full of wealthy people, so he spoke very politely.

Martin said: "Mr. Brandt, just say it."

Brandt smiled and said, "Your trash can was damaged again and we had to replace it."

Martin understood: "You should ask Mr. Stewart Townsend next door about this. I saw him kicking my trash can when I went to throw out the trash."

"Him?" Brandt nodded: "No wonder you two always have problems with your trash cans."

Martin asked: "He even kicked his own trash can?"

Brandt said: "We have repaired and replaced your two trash bins five times combined. The earliest was Ms. Theron's trash bin next door that was damaged. We took it away to repair and replace it with new ones."

He smiled sheepishly: "I remember you had just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor."

Martin said: "You can communicate with Mr. Townsend. Ms. Theron and I are good friends. It is not easy to talk about this matter."

"I will come to visit you." Brat left immediately.
