American fame and fortune

In the next few days, Martin was busy with the establishment of the studio with the assistance of Thomas and related companies.

There are many vacant rooms in the three-story office building where Pacific Pictures is located. Martin rented an office with an inner suite as a studio residence. The studio is called Davis Film and Television Production Company.

In addition to Martin and Bruce, the company's regular employees are only part-time operators from Pacific Pictures and shared with Gray's Company.

Davis Studio was established quietly.

On the day of its establishment, Martin solemnly invited Thomas, the bearer, to have dinner.

No matter how unscrupulous a capitalist is, he can't just let the horse run and not feed the horse.

Besides, Martin is a good man with a conscience, not a capitalist.

Thomas heard Martin introduce the relevant situation of "Wanted Warrant", and said: "Hollywood movie stars will definitely participate in investment and production at a certain stage, so as to gain more voice, such as Brad Pitt, Leonardo, Rachel -Witherspoon, wait, isn't it too early for you to take this step now?"

Sincere suggestion, Martin could listen to it, and said: "My situation is different from them." He had the best reasons and excuses: "You forgot about Louise, this is Louise's favorite project, and it is actually She controls the platter."

Having said that, Thomas immediately felt relieved. With Louise standing under Martin, the starting advantage was already great.

Martin added: "As long as Geshan Youyan's performance is not too bad, it will not be difficult for me to get investment."

Thomas rubbed his shiny forehead, secretly reminding himself that he should not look at Martin the way he looks at other actors.

He has seen with his own eyes that Martin has a support team in Atlanta, Kelly Gray, the owner of the largest film and television company in Georgia, and that King Kong woman, all of whom are really rich.

Thinking of the female king kong, Thomas looked at Martin sympathetically, for the sake of his career, it was really not easy.

Tyson and Holyfield are nothing but that.

Martin suddenly noticed that the agent's gaze was a bit strange, so he decided to add a little more burden to him. After all, he had already treated guests, and said, "Negotiation is your specialty. Go talk to Dingniu Comics and buy out the copyright of "Wanted Warrant."

Thomas frowned: "Agents cannot directly participate in film and television production."

Martin said: "I didn't let you participate, and I won't be able to reach the production stage for a while. I just let you talk about copyright. Thomas, look around me, except for the messy things like Old Bu, it's Mene who is unreliable and really You are the only one with talent."

Thomas was very useful: "It's true."

Martin said very solemnly: "I can only ask you for such an important matter."

"Okay, leave it to me." Thomas asked again: "What about your budget?"

Martin told the truth: "I am responsible for the early development funds. You know I am poor, so the lower the better."

After dinner, Thomas returned to the office alone to work overtime, collecting sales and market reactions of "Wanted Warrant", learning about Dingniu comics, and so on.

He needs to be fully prepared before contacting Dingniu comics.

Martin came out of the restaurant, got in the car and looked through the Anne-Hathaway dating schedule, and said, "Old Bu, tonight, the crew of "Pretty Blonde" is filming the night scene. You call the paparazzi, and we go to visit the set."

"Dating time again," Bruce said.

Martin said: "Thomas and Geshan Youyan both suggested that a week is the most suitable unit."

Bruce found a spare phone: "Poor love."

Martin retorted: "You can enjoy beautiful love while working, don't you think you can kill two birds with one stone?"

"Only a pervert like you would think that." Bruce started calling the paparazzi.

A few minutes later, he started the car and took Martin straight to downtown Los Angeles.

On the way, Martin went to pick up the ordered gifts.

Unlike Atlanta, downtown Los Angeles is a veritable ghetto.

For safety reasons, the crew chose to shoot the street scene at night on the main road.

When Martin arrived, Anne was filming, which was the complete opposite of the appearance of several princess films. She was wearing a ripped denim jacket with metal buttons, heavy smoky makeup, and large metal earrings and necklaces, which looked like the street my little sister.

Youth films that pretend to be tender cannot be filmed forever, and Anne is also seeking transformation.

After the age of 25, it will be difficult for the audience to play the role of a girl in a mainstream Hollywood movie.

A large number of young actresses are waiting to be promoted, and the Disney princesses are older and eliminated directly.

Anne Hathaway is one of the best Disney princesses.

Martin got out of the car with the gift and stood outside the set, not disturbing the normal work of the crew.

During the shooting interval, Annie saw Martin and waved to him.

Soon, paparazzi and entertainment journalists appeared.

There is an unwritten tacit understanding between Hollywood and the entertainment media. When the crew is filming, entertainment reporters and paparazzi generally don't take pictures, but the crew will also provide appropriate news.

Jody got off the motorcycle and saw that the crew hadn't filmed for the time being, so he quickly picked up the camera, first took a picture of Martin carrying the gift, and then took a picture of Annie who turned her head to Martin's side.

If you take another photo of the two meeting, you can earn at least $100 tonight.

The crew filmed for a while and entered the stage of supper to replenish energy. Martin approached Annie with a gift box.

"Why are you here?" Annie pursed her lips and smiled.

Martin opened the gift box: "I called the crew, I knew you were filming the night scene tonight, and I was worried that you might not eat well, so I specially ordered golden donuts for you."

Laura and Sandy, who were next to them, came over to look at the gift box Martin opened, and exclaimed: "The queen gold donuts are only available if you order in advance!"

Annie moved closer: "I have a heart."

Martin put it in front of her: "Try it?"

Sandy was very envious: "Annie, you are so happy, I am so envious."

Anne's sense of superiority welled up spontaneously. She picked up a donut, took a bite, swallowed it and said, "It tastes good, it suits my taste."

She made eye contact with Laura and Sandy.

How quickly Martin reacted: "Now it belongs to you."

Annie pointed to the box and said to Sandy and Laura, "You can do whatever you want."

The unit price is 100 US dollars, and the donuts need to be specially ordered. Many people from the production team kept watching.

The crew did not shoot, and the camera in the hand of the paparazzi kept turning on and off.

Anne noticed it too, broke off a small piece of donut, and brought it to Martin's mouth: "You have a taste too."

Martin opened his mouth and let Annie feed it.

The camera shutter sounded.

Martin ate it and said, "It smells like you on it, it's very good."

Annie stared at Martin, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, but unfortunately...

Martin was keenly aware of the change in Anne's expression, and had a vague guess, saying specifically: "I wanted to visit the class earlier, but I've been delayed by work these days."

Hearing this, Annie was slightly dissatisfied, how could work be more important than herself?

Martin's words didn't stop: "I just established a studio and I'm planning to invest in a new film project, which involves tens of millions of dollars, so I don't dare to be careless."

Annie's dissatisfaction dissipated immediately, and she asked curiously, "Your company? Ten million dollar project?"

Of course, Martin would not do such immoral things as deceitful people, and all he said was the truth: "The total investment may be more than 40 million U.S. dollars. I have some connections in Atlanta, and I can get more than half of the investment, and the rest will be settled through platters." , if all goes well, I will be the second producer and lead actor."

Annie blinked her beautiful eyes, dissatisfaction disappeared without a trace, and the only defect on the other side seemed to be invisible, and her expression was full of cheers: "Martin, you are really good, and now you are starting to develop into a producer."

Martin gave her a deeper impression: "When my crew is established, I'll take you there to visit."

Annie wanted to witness it with her own eyes: "Okay."

She picked up the leftover half of the donut and brought it to Martin's mouth again: "You are so tired, you have worked hard, eat more, I have been busy with filming recently, and I have neglected you, you must take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, I will." Martin ate the remaining donuts and pointed to the box: "Another one?"

Annie shook her head: "I can't eat any more. Eating too much will affect my appearance on camera."

Martin took Annie's water bottle from the side and handed it to her, and took a trash can. When Anne drank and rinsed her mouth, the trash can was placed at her feet.

Annie covered her mouth, spit out the mouthwash, and smiled at Martin: "Thank you."

Martin said, "Sure."

Annie tilted her head and watched Martin go to throw away the trash, her big mouth pursed into a nice line.

He is handsome, has a good personality, has a bright future, can attract tens of millions of dollars in investment, and is so considerate...

Annie's heart was pounding.

She quickly pressed it down, secretly reminding herself: Be reserved, keep a high profile, and hang him further.

The rest time of the crew was coming to an end, Anne quietly looked around, and found that many reporters and paparazzi were staring at her and Martin.

Before going to touch up her makeup, she came to Martin, grabbed his hand vigorously, and looked at each other affectionately: "Work is more important than your body. Pay attention to rest and don't get tired."

Martin shook her hand back, affectionately: "Annie, you are the driving force for me to promote the project, I swear, you will be a real princess!"

Not far away, the paparazzi Jody caught sight of this scene.

She flipped through the digital camera and looked back at the photos just now. She first smiled with satisfaction, then spat, and cursed: "You bitch!"

If the two hadn't had an affair, she would have eaten the camera!

The crew resumed work, and Martin left immediately.

As expected, there were gossip about him and Annie in the gossip entertainment newspapers the next day.

Sufficient heat is maintained.

Soon, good news came from Thomas, who was carrying a heavy load. After several negotiations with Dingniu Comics, he finally reached an agreement to buy out all the copyrights of "Wanted Warrant" at a total price of 350,000 US dollars.

Not only the film adaptation rights, but also the full copyright including comic sequels, novel adaptations, drama adaptations and animation adaptations.

According to Martin's idea, if the film is successful, the right to adapt the series can be sold to online platforms such as Netflix in the future.

So, make the film as successful as possible.
