American fame and fortune

Century City, where Hollywood agencies gather.

When going out for a meal, it is not uncommon to meet more than a dozen couples of celebrities and managers.

Martin opened the bag he carried, took out the gift box and pushed it to Thomas across the table: "It's for you."

Thomas opened the box and asked, "Wolf teeth? No, there are no wolves in Australia. Crocodile teeth?"

How could Martin say: "The crocodile I hunted with my own hands was made by myself. Although it may not be expensive, it is very rare."

"Thank you, it's very meaningful." Thomas put it away, but said from a professional point of view: "You don't plan to take the path of environmental protection and animal protection?"

Martin bluntly said: "I am a person who likes to enjoy. I will be rich and famous in the future. Of course, I can do it as comfortable as possible. Environmental protection is too easy to overturn, and animal protection is easy to be eaten by people."

He glanced at the pile of meat in front of Thomas: "If someone tells you to change to a vegetarian diet, what will you do?"

"I'd slap him in the face," Thomas said.

Martin enjoyed the steak, and then asked: "During this time, you must be working hard for our cause?"

Thomas continued: "You broke up with Eliza too quickly. I had a plan to take advantage of the attention and hype caused by "The Girl Next Door". This movie has a good response among teenagers, and Eliza is very popular. I I planned to discuss with Susan to hype up the topic of love between the hero and heroine when promoting "House of Wax Museum."

He has a big opinion on this: "You are impatient, you broke up too quickly, and you kicked people after only one premiere on the red carpet. You didn't maximize the value of this relationship!"

"I'm not opposed to hyping up my private life, it's only profitable, and I'm fine as a Truman in the real world." Martin pointed at the meat on the table again: "Can you switch to a vegetarian diet?"

Thomas glanced at Martin, and he probably understood. He stopped mentioning the matter and said instead: "I contacted Lionsgate, and the disc of "Zombie Gigolo" sold well. Last week, I talked to the promotion director of Lionsgate During the interview with Black, it was agreed to apply for the Saturn Award for Best Young Actor for you."

Martin thought about it carefully, and asked, "The film award established by the Academy of Science Fiction and Horror Films?"

"Yes, that's it." Thomas said in detail: "There are six nominations for the Actor Award. According to what I have learned, the ones currently applying for this award include "Agent Cody", "Missing", "Hot Mom and Hot Girl", " "The Rat Harmony", as for the actor's name, it's too unfamiliar, I only remember Lindsay Lohan."

Among these names, Martin had heard of Lindsay Lohan and asked, "Can I get nominated?"

Thomas said: "It is very difficult to win an award, and you have to find a way to nominate. The Saturn Awards still have a certain style. Unlike the newly established Teen Choice Awards, you can guarantee nominations by going to the scene."

"I will cooperate with you on how to do it specifically." Martin is relatively new to the Saturn Awards. In his previous life, he focused on the Oscars, and he didn't even pay much attention to the Golden Globes.

Thomas said: "As long as you deal with the big guys in the science fiction and horror film schools, it will be very easy to win the nomination. When you need your cooperation, I will call you."

Martin asked again, "What about the new job?"

"Don't be in a hurry." Thomas said: "HBO has postponed the schedule of "Entourage". I am fighting for the company's resources that were originally inclined to Adrian. WMA is a big company with fierce internal competition."

He stated in advance: "Those projects that are not invested by Ms. Louise-Mayer, it is difficult for you to get the main role."

Martin nodded: "I understand, "House of Wax Museum" hasn't been released yet."

Although the filming of this horror film is finished, the post-production has not yet started. Counting the preparations for publicity and release, it will not be released until the end of the year at the earliest. In the style of Warner Bros., it may even be scheduled until next spring.

For a medium-scale film project, the preparation, shooting and production cycle is considered fast in one year.

For those with an investment of hundreds of millions, it may take more than two years from preparation to release.

Thomas still said about the Saturn Award: "If you can win the Saturn Award for Best Young Actor, you will definitely establish an advantage in the company's competition for new actors."

Martin is very vulgar and knows the key: "Money? Gifts? Women?"

Thomas shook his head: "How much money do you have, and how much money can you borrow? Those big guys don't lack this."

After lunch, Martin said his goodbyes and left, and Thomas sat for a while, further clarifying his thoughts.

Martin is the most important client in the hands of Thomas. It is not his turn to be in charge of the star clients of WMA. If he wants to climb up and cross the threshold of owning an independent office, he must have at least one star client in his hand.

As for the level of partners, don't think about it for the time being.

Thomas returned to the company and just sat in the partition when he found Adrian passing by and went to the glass partitioned office.

Adrian knocked on the door and entered John's office.

John frowned slightly: "Why are you here, didn't you ask you to rest for a while?"

Adrian, as usual, opened the chair and sat down with his legs crossed: "I have something to ask."

Looking at the normal actions in the past, John sees them now, and always feels that Adrian doesn't respect him. He coughed lightly and pointed to Adrian's feet: "This is the office."

Adrian looked at John with his head tilted, retracted his legs, and asked, "I have no money, so I just sold the car and the house for a little?"

John is no longer optimistic about Adrian's future, and even feels that he has no future: "The contract and ticket are given to you."

At the beginning, Adrian’s lawyer and accountant all came from the introduction of his agent: "You urgently need funds to reach a settlement with the woman, and urgently need money to get out of the vortex. Hundreds of thousands of Australian dollars, even if I lose everything, you agree to sell the house Selling a car, I can only help you sell it as quickly as possible, is there any other way besides a discount?"

Adrian said: "The price you sold is too low."

John's expression was very helpless: "Am I just watching you go to jail? We are not only brokers and clients, but also friends. I can't let you go to jail. You are only 27 years old and you still have a lot of good times."

Adrian asked someone to carefully read the contract and tickets, and there was really no problem, so he asked, "When will Entourage be broadcast?"

John said: "I have been urging HBO to schedule the schedule. You wait patiently. After this special period passes, everything will return to normal."

After asking a few more words, Adrian left the office and went down to the first floor. Just as he was out the door, a short and fat man came over.

Tony wore his baseball cap backwards, and handed Adrian the car keys: "The agent called me just now, and I can't accompany you."

Adrian raised his head, his eyes slowly falling on Tony's face.

Tony shook the car keys.

Adrian took the car keys and walked to the parking lot.

Tony said softly, "Sorry, Ed, I want to eat too."

Adrian didn't look back, didn't reply, and left alone.

…………

Burbank, Warner Studios.

Kelly, who came from Atlanta, just visited Warner's post-production studio with Louise.

Louise was wearing a dark professional suit, and when she saw no one around, she patted Kelly's butt lightly: "Lost, I'm going to see the crew's financial officer, you go around Warner Studios by yourself, I'll wait until you get off work." call you."

"Female pervert!" Kelly gritted her teeth and said, "When that bastard Martin arrives, I'll settle the score with you."

Louise blinked: "How to calculate, where to calculate? Are you calculating in the middle?"

Kelly was almost dizzy, and didn't want to talk to her, so she walked out of the post-production room with high heels.

Holding on to the palm tree, the wind blew in fresh air, and she finally let out the breath that was stuffy in her chest.

A battery car drove over and stopped on the sidewalk, and a familiar voice came from Kelly's ears: "The most beautiful masterpiece of the Creator, the most beautiful woman in Georgia, the incarnation of Aphrodite in the world, your special car and driver arrive."

Kelly turned her head, saw the masculine and handsome man, and immediately extended a hand.

Martin stood by the battery car and helped Kelly into the car with his hands.

Kelly said, "Let's go."

Martin started the car, wandered aimlessly around Warner Studios, and asked, "Why did you come to Los Angeles?"

Kelly snorted coldly: "The salesman I sent will neither work nor contribute, and can only come here to solicit business in person."

Martin didn't answer these words, and pointed to the backpack placed by his feet: "I brought you a gift from Australia, and mailed you a copy. I didn't expect you to come, and I will send you another one."

Kelly took the bag and opened it, and there were two boxes of different colors inside: "Which one is for me?"

Martin said, "Beige."

Kelly took it and opened it, and inside was a polished white and smooth animal fang.

Her gaze landed on another dark gray box: "For that slutty Louise?"

Martin replied, "Same."

"Let me take a look?" Seeing that Martin agreed, Kelly opened the box, but found something different. In addition to the fangs, there was also a post-it note in the box, which recorded the recipe for a cocktail called honey.

Kelly took out a post-it note and shook it: "For the sluts?"

Martin casually said, "The latest masterpiece from master bartender Louise Meyer."

Kelly said: "This shameless waste!" She suddenly thought of a brilliant idea to get revenge on Louise: "I have the recipe, let Louise ask for it from me."

Martin asked, "What do you want this thing for? You're not interested in bartending."

"Of course it works." Kelly's smile suddenly became turbulent: "Martin, do you want Louise to be sweet between the two of us?"
