American fame and fortune

The day after Thanksgiving, Martin made a special trip to visit the headquarters of Coca-Cola Group, and was warmly welcomed by part of the management team headed by Marketing Director Brody.

In addition to his routine visit, he also participated in a media event organized by Coca-Cola.

It's also a propaganda.

In front of many media, Brody gave Martin the copper badge of the leader of the Cult of Coke to Martin.

The two stood in front of Coca-Cola's huge red logo and took a group photo with media reporters.

Subsequently, on behalf of the "Never Ending" crew, Martin signed an advertising sponsorship and marketing promotion contract with a total value of 5 million US dollars with Coca-Cola.

After the contract was signed, the two entered the reception room together.

Brody has always considered the signing of Martin to be a smug stroke: "Recently your news has grabbed a lot of headlines."

Martin pretended to be helpless: "I don't want to either. I didn't do anything, but I was misunderstood by others. I can't stand there and be beaten. It will not only damage my image, but also the brand partners."

He specifically said: "It is not easy to establish the reputation of the Coke Theology, and it cannot be destroyed like this."

Brody agrees: "You don't have to worry about similar situations."

"With the support of Coca-Cola, I have confidence in Hollywood." Martin's words are not completely exaggerated: "Take the latest "Never Ending" as an example. As soon as Coca-Cola expressed its support for me, Warner Bros. immediately supported me. The project has been given the green light."

Brody laughed, Coca-Cola did not support Martin for no reason, but actually saw the benefits. Since the birth of the Coke Theology, Coca-Cola's sales in North America have increased by nearly 8%.

That's a pretty remarkable number.

To move Martin, the spokesperson and the leader of the Coca-Cola cult, is to offend Coca-Cola's hundreds of millions of profits!

Not to mention that Brody did not agree, all Coca-Cola shareholders would not agree.

Coca-Cola also vigorously promoted the dissemination of videos on the Internet, allowing people to see that Martin easily defeated Pete with Coke.

Even the advertising department intends to use this as a creative idea to shoot next year's Coca-Cola commercial.

Brody appropriately expressed some importance: "Coca-Cola should have mentioned to your agent to extend the endorsement contract with you."

"My agent's advice. I just signed a contract for half a year. Don't worry about extending the contract." Of course, Martin pushed the agent out as a shield.

Brody nodded slightly: "Then let's talk about it next year."

Martin responded with a smile: "No problem."

While the two were talking, Coca-Cola's "Wanted Warrant" reward was transferred to the account designated by Martin.

There is a supplementary agreement in the endorsement contract signed by the two parties. As long as the North American box office of the film starring Martin exceeds 100 million US dollars, Coca-Cola will pay Martin an additional 1 million US dollars in bonuses as an incentive.

At noon, Martin attended the reception banquet of the Coca-Cola Group and got to know more high-level officials.

His relationship with Coca-Cola has been healthy.

In Atlanta, Martin has the support of two other major forces, namely the organization behind Kelly Gray and Beast House Entertainment headed by Sophia.

Kelly went to Washington on a business trip, Martin came out of Coca-Cola, contacted Sofia, and came to meet her at the Peach Tree Hotel.

On the business floor of the hotel, seeing Scott guarding the door of a reception room, Martin walked over quickly.

Bruce whispered from behind: "You can go in by yourself later."

How could Martin let Bruce go? Besides, when he went in by himself, he had no idea: "You go in with me, don't forget, you promise to keep behind me."

Although Bruce's legs were shaking, his hands were shaking and his heart was shaking, he still gritted his teeth and walked with Martin.

Scott glanced at Martin, guessing that he must have slept with his daughter last night, and he didn't look good: "Sophia is waiting for you inside."

Martin ignored him, and dragged Bruce directly into the reception room.

Sophia sat on the single sofa, holding the report in one hand, and the gripper in the other. With the opening and closing of the hands, the biceps expanded and contracted exaggeratedly.

She pointed to the sofa: "You two sit as you please."

Martin sat diagonally across from her, and Bruce simply turned behind Martin, because standing here, with his butt against the wall, he felt an inexplicable sense of security.

Sophia said: "I just received the report from the Wanted Warrant studio, and all the investment has been recovered from the box office alone. The project you introduced is very good, and the expected profit is quite considerable."

This is the funder behind it, and Martin spoke very nicely: "I will not introduce a project with no future to my friends."

Sophia put down the grip, and looked at Martin and Bruce carefully: "I am the most fair person, and Old Bu knows this best."

The corners of Bruce's mouth trembled, he didn't answer, and he didn't want to speak, he just took a step back and pressed his butt against the thick wall.

Sophia's words didn't stop: "Those who bring me benefits will get corresponding benefits. What reward do you want?"

Bruce looked down at the floor and said to himself that this matter has nothing to do with me, and the reward should be given to Martin.

Martin thought of Scott, and smiled: "I have a salary to get, and other rewards are fine..."

"How can this work?" Sophia put down the report again, and brought a beautiful box from the table next to her.

Martin heaved a sigh of relief. The box was about the size of a fist, and it was square instead of rectangular. The pink water bottle would never open.

Sophia opened the box, revealing an oval egg, and handed it to Martin: "I'll give it to you."

The egg is golden and has an uneven surface. Except for the wrong color, it looks like a small avocado that hasn't grown up.

Martin took it and found a series of bills under the golden avocado, and asked directly, "24K gold?"

Sophia was very generous: "I specially ordered it from a gold company. The tax burden and other procedures are all available, and you can just take it."

Martin was not polite, so he accepted it, and added a special sentence: "Sophia, you are indeed a person who does great things."

Sophia smiled heartily: "As long as you put together a platter, don't forget me and the Beast House."

"How is it possible!" Martin vowed: "Without you, there would be no Martin Davis."

Sophia nodded: "I hope we are all nostalgic people."

Martin said: "I can continue to compete fiercely with people in Hollywood and win time and time again. Atlanta is fundamental!"

He didn't have a good foundation in Atlanta, he didn't have the opportunity to participate in the platter, and he wouldn't get these important roles. Even when he met a big man of Harvey's level, he voluntarily retreated.

Sophia said: "I watched the video of you dealing with Pete, and your skill is quite good."

Martin said in a helpless tone again: "I can't help it. In the bad circle of Hollywood, if you don't step on people, you will be stepped on."

The two chatted for nearly an hour and a half, which involved the issue of continuing cooperation in the future.

Martin declined Sophia's dinner invitation and left the Peach Tree Hotel with Bruce.

After getting in the car, he opened the gift box again and carefully looked at the golden avocado. Although the surface was uneven, it was pleasing to the eye no matter what.

Bruce said: "Sophia's usual kitsch style."

Martin weighed it and said, "I just like this kind of vulgar gift, let the vulgarity overwhelm me!"

Bruce started the car and asked, "Where are we going next?"

Martin glanced at the time: "Go to Northville Private Middle School, school time will be over soon, I promised Lily yesterday to pick her up from school."

Bruce drove back to Northville.

Martin put away the golden avocado and replied to a few text messages. Not long after, the car stopped diagonally opposite the middle school.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Lily came out of the school gate with her schoolbag on her back. After a little searching, she found the BMW car. She ran over with her long legs, and the Martin clown hanging on her backpack was swinging back and forth with her long ponytail.

After getting in the car, she took the schoolbag and said, "Everyone else is on vacation, but I still have to take advantage of the vacation to take sculpture classes."

The top students in private middle schools are also very hard on their studies, especially those students like Lily whose family conditions have just improved but who lack background.

She took out yesterday's sculpture and handed it to Martin: "It's all done."

Martin took it to the window of the car, looked carefully through the light, and said, "I'm not a professional, but it looks more pleasing to the eye than the previous sculptures."

Lily said: "I have worked hard in the past two years. Others don't know, but you still don't know?"

Martin pretended to be confused: "I'm not in Atlanta, how can I know?"

Lily stared at him viciously, held back Fake who rushed to her lips, and tried to speak in a civilized way: "You send me box after box of carving raw materials, and you also ask for similar quantities of finished sculptures, you know how I survived ?"

This is an endless history of blood and tears of child labor.

Martin put on a good look for you: "Without the materials I mailed to you, would you have the progress and skills you have today?"

Lily snatched back the clay sculpture in Martin's hand: "It's not finished yet, I'll give it to you when I finish it."

She decided that the most suitable sculpture for Martin was the clown!

The most evil kind!

Martin stopped talking about this and returned to the topic: "Have you decided to go to California to go to college?"

Lily nodded vigorously and was extremely sure: "I'm going to CalArts, where the sculpture major is very good."

She muttered: "I'm not like Elena, I don't even have the courage to go out."

"It's not that she lacks courage, but she has to be responsible to you." Martin understood Elena: "Even if you go to college and still have a hall, it's better to stay in a familiar hometown than to go to a strange city."

Lily understands this: "I'm going to school, and Elena's burden will be relieved a lot."

Martin said: "It's good that you understand, so don't make Elena angry."

"Well, I know." Lily responded and asked, "Are you sure you can help me get a recommendation letter with enough weight?"

Martin laughed: "Of course it's no problem. I asked a friend for help. Even if there is an accident on his side, I have other preparations."

He's really ashamed to ask, Scorsese and Wes - Craven's letter of recommendation will definitely be available.

No matter how bad it is, there are two bastards, Nicholson and Leonardo.

With Martin's exact answer, Lily has a clear goal.
