American fame and fortune

Chapter 690 The trump card

The coffee pot gurgled and steamed. Lynch picked it up and poured a cup of coffee for each of them.

Morgan-Freeman added milk and sugar and slowly stirred the coffee.

"Help us develop a new client who loves the business we do," Lynch said.

Morgan Freeman didn't even raise his eyelids: "Who?"

Lynch gave the answer: "The famous Hollywood playboy Martin Davis."

Upon hearing the name, Morgan Freeman's hand stirring the coffee suddenly stopped.

He glared at Lynch to make sure he was not joking, and said, "Martin has no shortage of women. There are several public saints from the Coca-Cola Cult, and they are all beautiful."

Lynch laughed: "Every woman's wardrobe is always missing a piece of clothing, and every man's bed is always missing a beautiful woman."

Morgan Freeman thought about it carefully and asked, "What do you want to do to Martin?"

"It's very simple, make money from him." Lynch said the truth on this point: "Just like you, Depp and other platinum members."

The service provided by the other party was nothing in Hollywood. Morgan Freeman subconsciously wanted to accept it, but suddenly remembered what happened on the set of "The Dark Knight".

Everyone thinks that Christian Bale is crazy and is nervous all day long trying to deal with Martin.

Even he thought so at the beginning. Everything he saw and heard was that Bell was going crazy.

But in addition to his eyes and ears, Morgan Freeman also has a wealth of life experience, which tells him that everything was Martin's doing.

At that time, he told Martin that he would stand with Martin.

Morgan Freeman shook his head: "I refuse. You know nothing about Martin Davis."

Lynch was a little surprised, but he was not in a hurry and patted his bag gently: "Morgan, do you really want to reject this paradise-like island on earth?"

Morgan Freeman wanted to reiterate his rejection, but the photos in the bag made him open his mouth and say nothing.

Michelle had already made a plan, and Lynch added: "How about you listen to me first and then make a decision?"

Morgan Freeman remained silent.

Lynch looked around: "You have great privacy here and can hold a party. You only need to invite Martin and a few of his friends to come over to the party. You don't need to worry about the rest. Leave all the planning and content of the party to us." company."

He further said: "If something goes wrong at the party, you can blame it on the company. It has nothing to do with you and it's all our company's work fault."

All Morgan Freeman needs is a reason and excuse to convince himself.

Lynch came up with his trump card, as he said just now, every man is always short of a beautiful woman he likes.

"The island's staff changes frequently to keep the surprises coming," he said.

Morgan Freeman spoke slowly: "I am only responsible for inviting people and don't care about the rest."

"Of course!" Lynch said: "The company can sign a party hosting contract with you, and you outsource the party planning to our company."

Morgan Freeman said: "Just wait for my call."

…………

Disney Studios, the cast of Escape from Tehran had a press day.

A large number of reporters, entertainment bloggers and fan representatives came to the set to visit and interview, and had face-to-face contact with the main creative staff.

These are naturally for publicity and promotion.

In the morning, Martin was still shooting normally.

After communication with the crew, Tony Mendes appeared in front of everyone and became the center of attention.

This retired CIA agent has experienced countless big scenes, and dealing with media reporters is just a trivial matter.

"When Graham King and David Fincher came to Washington to find me, my first reaction was shock. My story was going to be adapted into a movie by Hollywood?"

Facing the cameras of media reporters, Tony Mendes transformed into a shock party: "Or is the American hero Martin Davis playing me? This is great! Not only did the film crew find Martin to play me, but they also deliberately used that fake movie The film was named after "Argo", and even the location where the crew worked was renamed Studio Six..."

He explained: "Studio Six was the film production company I temporarily registered in order to prepare for that fake movie."

Media reporters were particularly interested in Tony Mendes’ experience, and questions continued to arise.

But Tony Mendes didn't answer anything that had nothing to do with the movie.

At close to 11 o'clock in the morning, Martin, who had finished filming the scene, also came to the temporary media area to accept interviews from reporters.

"This thing sounds a bit ridiculous, even ridiculous. What Tony did is crazier than the plot of a Hollywood movie, but he succeeded." Martin invested in and starred in this film, and of course he had to brag: "I'm watching After reading the script, I became very interested in this story and this character, so I approached Graham and strongly requested to play this role.”

Later, Martin and Tony Mendes stood together and allowed many media to take photos.

That afternoon, the Los Angeles Times website published details of the incident and an exclusive interview with Tony Mendes himself on its home page.

"This is a rescue story that few people know - people only know that six Americans escaped with the help of Canadians at that time, but it was not until the relevant confidential documents were unsealed that everyone understood that the CIA was behind the scenes. All this, and through a plan called "Argo", found a safe way back home for six Americans."

The bizarre nature of the event itself quickly aroused the audience's curiosity and expectations.

This is not over yet, Martin invited several old movie stars to help and tell about this incident back then.

After all, it was only thirty years ago, and some veteran stars in the industry vaguely remember this incident.

Nicholson took some old newspapers provided by Tony Mendes and asked Lorraine to record a video and post it on TMZ.

"It happened by coincidence. When Studio Six was established to promote the "Argo" project, they sent me an invitation. I originally wanted to take a look, but the invitation quickly disappeared. It turned out to be a fake crew. .”

Before calling it a day in the afternoon, Martin received a call from Nicholson.

"Don't forget my remuneration, I don't want money." The old bastard said directly: "It seems that your student is going to cause trouble at the Disney Studio. I asked Lorraine to establish a good relationship with her and take the initiative to help, but she caused trouble You may not inform Lorraine at this time, but if she tells you, you inform me as soon as possible so that I can watch the fun."

Martin said: "But I don't know what she is going to do...forget it, if I have news, I will definitely let you know."

After he hung up the phone, Bruce came over from behind and said one thing: "The crew of "Noah's Ark" came to the Disney Studio and were filming in a studio not far away."

He reminded: "Emma Watson is the supporting actress."

"Saoirse and Emma Watson are mortal enemies." Martin warned Bruce: "Please pay attention and tell me if you have any news. The witch war will be very interesting."

Bruce nodded and said no more.

The two left the studio, but before they got on the battery car, Martin received a call from Morgan Freeman, asking if he was at the company and ready to visit.

Martin made an appointment with him, returned to Davis Studio and waited for a while. Morgan Freeman came to the door alone.

The two exchanged some pleasantries, and Morgan Freeman got down to the topic: "This weekend is my film anniversary. I'm going to hold a party at a private ranch and invite some old friends to attend."

He looked at Martin: "The matter between Adina and I has never been made public. I don't plan to invite too many people. It's just a gathering of old friends like us. Do you have time?"

Martin thought about his schedule and said, "I have time on the weekend."

Morgan Freeman took out a formal invitation letter and handed it to Martin: "I won't send a car to pick you up."

Martin took over: "I will be there on time." He thought of something and specifically mentioned: "You didn't invite Bell, did you? I'm afraid there will be a fight."

"How could I invite him?" Morgan Freeman smiled with two lines of white teeth: "Martin, I told you, I will always be on your side."

Martin remembers these words, said by Morgan Freeman during the filming of "The Dark Knight."

Morgan Freeman said goodbye: "I have to go to other places, so I won't stay here any longer."

Martin sent him downstairs until he got in the car and left.

Back in the office, he looked at the invitation and found that he was the only one invited.

Martin said: "It seems you can't bring a female companion."

Bruce also saw it and said, "Morgan Freeman may have prepared a special program."

Martin said: "Is there any surprise?"

Bruce has been following Martin and knows that Morgan Freeman is an old man who has a lot of fun.

This is not accurate. It is extremely rare for men in Hollywood to have fun without spending money.

In the next few days, Martin was filming normally on the set. During this period, he also met Saoirse Ronan. This trouble-making girl seemed normal and had no special behavior.

During this period, Netflix's content director Greg Peters visited David Fincher and brought him the script of "House of Cards".

There were two copies of the script, and one was given to Martin in addition to David Fincher.

Netflix has not given up its intention to invite Martin, and specially sent the script to him. Greg also chatted with Martin privately, vaguely revealing that if Martin is willing to star, Netflix will prepare a salary of 30 million US dollars for him. .

Martin declined. After all, he had no shortage of projects, and the salary from the movie plus the post-production share was high enough.

The biggest problem with Netflix’s project remuneration is the later share of the project.

Before the weekend, Morgan Freeman called again and reminded Martin not to forget about the party. He was already making preparations.

At the weekend, Bruce and Martin drove into an Escalade, left downtown Los Angeles and headed straight to the valley area in the northwest.

When Morgan Freeman is not working, he does not live in a bustling area. Instead, he buys a huge farm and ranch to enjoy life.
