American fame and fortune

Los Angeles, the headquarters of the Face Gang, the VIP room of the Nightclub.

Leonardo, Nicholson, and Wes Craven just finished enjoying a round of face washing service, and are leaning comfortably on the single sofa, savoring the soft and creamy taste.

"It always felt like something was missing," Nicholson said.

Wes Craven seemed to be asleep and didn't speak.

Leonardo answered: "The worst bastard is missing."

Taking advantage of the absence of the bastard, Nicholson asked, "Martin fucked you, and he fucked me, but we haven't really fucked him yet, have we?"

Leonardo said: "It has been done, but it is not successful."

Nicholson suggested: "Next time he's having sex with another woman, we'll set off fireworks on him and make his sponge tear!"

"Good idea!" Leonardo applauded first, then frowned: "This guy doesn't engage in field battles, either at home or in five-star hotels, it's not easy."

Nicholson said, "Get him out!" He asked, "What is that guy doing now?"

Leonardo pointed to the east: "New York, today is the premiere of his new movie."

Nicholson remembered: "Never Ending?"

Wes Craven opened his eyes at this moment and said, "This film is very important to Martin."

Leonardo replied: "That's right, this is Martin's real box office hit. I've seen Warner's trial screening. Aniston is at best a supporting actress, and Martin is the absolute protagonist."

All of you present here are veterans of Hollywood and understand the significance of this kind of film to the leading actors.

Wes Craven also said: "If this film can be a big hit at the box office, Martin's career will go a step further and he will steadily enter the first line."

"If the box office fails, it proves that he can't afford the box office alone." Nicholson took the initiative to answer: "Martin wants to become a superstar or a superstar, the road will have too many twists and turns, and he will never be able to cross that hurdle."

Leonardo remembered the newspapers he had read: "Recently there has been heavy snowfall in New York, and the entire Northeast may be covered by snow for several days, which will affect the box office revenue there."

Wes Craven said: "As long as the film has enough appeal, these are not problems."

On Long Island, New York, Christian Bale held an umbrella, walked along the road that had just been cleared of snow, and came to a detached house, shaking off the snow from the umbrella.

The falling snow actually piled up a round hill.

The door opened from the inside, and Michelle Williams spit out a cloud of white mist: "Come in, it's snowing so hard, you're still here."

Bell entered the room, put the umbrella in a cardboard box by the wall, took off his coat and hung it up, and asked, "Where is Heath?"

Michelle said: "Look at the snow in the upstairs study."

"How is he doing?" Bell asked.

"The Mutual Aid Club is long gone, I suspect..." Michelle sighed, tears flashed in his eyes, and he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand: "He doesn't know how to persevere, and I don't know how to persevere either."

Bell squeezed Michelle's shoulder: "When he starts his career, his mood will improve, and his attention will not be on it."

Michelle led Bell into the living room and said: "It's such a big mess with Martin Davis and Jennifer Aniston, everyone knows what he does on the set, and few crews are willing to use him."

Taking drugs or something is not uncommon in Hollywood, and no one actually cares about it, but it happens on the set, and after getting high, you almost bump into other star actors. Who wants to use it? Who bears the risk again?

"I'll find a way." Bell was very loyal to his friends, and he didn't alienate Heath Ledger after the incident last year, but has been helping him out of the slump.

He pointed upstairs: "I'll go talk to Heath."

Going upstairs to the study, Heath Ledger was standing on the inside of the balcony, looking at the snowflakes falling outside.

Bell took a closer look and found that he had lost weight after a short period of withdrawal, and his complexion was as white as snow.

"Aren't you planning to go out to work in the future?" Bell asked.

Heath turned his head and squeezed out an ugly smile: "It's not that I don't want to go, but that no one uses me."

He glanced at the newspaper on the desk: "What happened last time made me miserable."

Bell came over from the desk and saw the picture on the newspaper. Martin Davis' new film had its premiere in New York today.

At this moment, Bell thought of Pinewood Studios, and unconsciously split his legs, feeling that there was something strange somewhere.

Although the police report was made by Nicholson and Streep, Bell always felt that it had something to do with Martin Davis.

Those three bastards are buddies, showing up together at Pinewood Studios, definitely related.

Bell came to Heath Ledger and looked out the window: "I hope this heavy snow will last until the weekend, and the temperature will be lower when the snow melts."

Heath nodded slightly: "It's best for everyone not to go out, not to go out, and the mall and theaters are closed."

Maybe he really felt wrong at one time, and his mentality was relatively peaceful, but from last year to now, he has never been able to find a job, and he repeated it after quitting, which has a great impact on people's mood.

Heath said: "The weather is bad, and no one is buying tickets to see the new Martin Davis movie."

Bell asked inside Warner that the film's trial screenings have a good reputation, and the only thing that can stop the film from making a big hit at the box office is the bad weather.

"Don't talk about that bastard." He changed the subject: "I have a role here, Warner's project, and I will act opposite me. The filming will start this year. The director is Nolan, whom I have worked with several times. If you are interested, I would highly recommend you to him."

This rare friendship lifted Heath Ledger's decadent spirit and said, "Will Warner Bros. use me?"

Bell said: "They want me to continue to play Bruce Wayne, let me play the sequel of Batman, of course I have to put some conditions."

For the sequel project, the protagonist actor has a certain degree of initiative.

"Thank you, Chris." Heath Ledger is very clear that the opportunity is too rare for him: "I will definitely seize this opportunity, take this role, and reverse the perception of me inside and outside the industry."

Bell patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "I believe in you."

…………

At the Metropolitan Theatre, Ted was completely immersed in the movie.

Around him, other companions are like this.

Ted doesn't know why, this movie is particularly able to substitute characters, making people immersed in it, as if he is the down-and-out protagonist who is hanging out.

At the beginning, I was poor, and I came across a smart drug by chance, and after taking it, people will be different after taking it. I can easily complete the draft contract, earn the first draft fee, and invest in stocks with the draft fee. With strong data analysis and information collection capabilities, I can easily earn money. The first pot of gold.

Going to high-end places, picking up girls, fooling people, everything is going against the odds, all the knowledge I have learned is clearly remembered, and I can learn a foreign language or other skills in a day.

Although the smart medicine has side effects, when the protagonist is awake after taking the medicine, while making money and enjoying it, he does not forget to invest and hire people to study the medicine, and even learn the knowledge of chemistry and biology by himself, and do the research by himself.

During the period, villains were set up one by one, such as gang members who saw the protagonist's fortune and wanted to share a fortune, and frequent death tycoons who also used smart drugs, etc.

The protagonist can always solve them with the ingenuity and agility brought by the smart medicine.

Even a Wall Street tycoon, the protagonist can deal with them.

Ted felt that he was the protagonist, and his life seemed to be a game plug-in, climbing all the way up, and living a life only in dreams.

A movie is a daydream, and this never-ending daydream is more immersive.

At this moment, the audience felt that Martin on the big screen was themselves. Watching the protagonist's soaring all the way, that special refreshing feeling arose spontaneously.

Endless has no profound plots, no exploration of human nature and life, no philosophical speculation and lofty art, but it captures the daydreams of countless people.

All the audience present, including those rich people, may have dreamed of taking off in life after hanging up like this countless times.

Alan Grien's original novel is about the plight of a man, the hero.

But the script of the movie was completely changed according to Martin's ideas.

The plot of the film is closer to the online cool articles that Martin had read in his previous life.

The mainstream audience in the United States does not have a higher taste than audiences in other markets. Popcorn was first popular in the North American market, and it has lasted for a long time.

Not to mention the shit and fart comedy that is only popular in North America.

This kind of daydream-like refreshing feeling is more likely to resonate with people.

Martin's plan and goal are simple. For ordinary audiences, they don't have to think about any messy things when they come in. It's enough to be emotionally immersed in the movie.

As for what the critics will taste from it, Martin has no way of guessing, after all, their thinking is different from ordinary people.

Perhaps, it can interpret the profound thoughts that the screenwriter and director have never considered.

Kelly Gray and Louise sat in the second row, saw the subtitles fall, and said: "This movie is great. Although I am a woman, there are many things in the movie that I fantasized about when I was a girl..."

Louise nodded slightly: "Me too."

Daniel from Warner Bros. next to him said, "Everyone wants to be the protagonist!"

Louise said, "Have you thought about this too?"

"Yeah." Daniel smiled: "From an ordinary kid, he quickly became a super rich man and a smart person all the way. From then on, he enjoyed life, easily dealt with big people, and even controlled them."

Extremely warm applause broke out suddenly, and it came from the seating area of ​​ordinary audience, which was mixed with applause.

The crew members in the front row stood up collectively. Martin first hugged Aniston, then high-fived Boyle, and shook hands with other crew members one by one.

The audience applauded all the time, especially enthusiastically.

Under the leadership of directors Boyle and Martin, the main creative staff of the crew went to the stage in front of the screen to call off.

Three consecutive curtain calls, the applause still did not stop.

Hearing the endless applause, the heavy snow on Louise's heart suddenly stopped, and she said: "Even if the box office in the Northeast is not good, this film will not have any accidents."

Daniel agreed: "The heavy snow in New York can't stop the box office of this film!"
