American fame and fortune

In Benjamin's studio, Elizabeth signed the actor's contract and got her first real movie role in her life.

Caroline in her youth, the daughter of the hero and heroine Daisy.

When acting, you have to call Martin Papa.

Thinking of this, Elizabeth scratched her face, feeling an indescribably weird feeling.

Do you want to go to Martin to rehearse the play in advance? Eighteen-year-old Elizabeth was full of thoughts: "Should I call Martin first and express my thanks?"

After leaving the office, the agent Martha reminded: "Liz, Martin is the key to getting this role, don't forget to call to thank you personally."

Elizabeth had already taken out her mobile phone, picked it up, shook it, and said, "I'll call when I go out."

After leaving the studio, she immediately called Martin, waited until the phone was connected, and said, "Martin, it's me, Elizabeth, do you have time at noon? I want to treat you to lunch."

Over there Martin replied: "There is time, where?"

"There is a nice restaurant in Sherman Oaks." Elizabeth said the address cheerfully.

"No problem, we'll meet at the restaurant at 11:30."

After receiving Martin's reply, Elizabeth couldn't help speeding up, got on the battery car, hung up the phone, and called out to her manager, "Martha, hurry up."

Martha waved her hand: "You go first, I have other things."

Elizabeth stepped on the store door, and the battery car rushed out with a whoosh.

On the other side, on the roof of Nicholson's mansion, Martin swung his club, and the golf ball flew tens of meters away, hitting the iron bucket in the yard with a bang.

Leonardo laughed: "The challenge failed, you lost!"

Martin put down his cue, took out five dollars, and stuffed it into Leonardo's hand: "You win."

But Nicholson said: "There is progress, just practice more."

Leonardo thought of one thing: "Jack, did we still open a handicap?"

Nicholson is old and his memory is not so good: "What handicap?"

"About Weinstein," Leonard reminded. "Georgina Chapman."

Nicholson remembered, calculated a little, and said, "It's not time yet."

Martin packed his things: "The bad things you said have nothing to do with me."

"You had to bet at the time," Leonardo said.

Martin heard something faintly, looked at the mansion on the other side of Nicholson's house, and changed the subject: "There are people moving things out from Marlon Brando's side, and there is a van."

Nicholson said: "Mallon sold the house while he was alive, alimony and lawsuits for several children drained all his savings and assets, and borrowed a lot of money from the bank with the copyright income as collateral. , In the end, he was unable to repay the loan, and even lost the union share, so he could only move to live in a caravan, relying on relief and the basic benefits of the actors' union."

Martin reminded: "We must not be confused like this in the future."

Leonardo nodded, pointed to Nicholson's neighbor on the other side, and said, "We're going to be Warren Beatty."

Martin snorted: "You actually betrayed the trio and wanted to get married!"

Leonardo just remembered that Warren Beatty finally got married, and quickly changed his words: "Warren Beatty before marriage."

He didn't forget to bury Martin: "You don't consider buying Malone's house? Your house on Coty Road is too small to hold a rave party."

"We'll talk about changing the house later." Martin glanced at his watch: "I won't talk to you guys anymore, I have an appointment at noon."

Nicholson answered, "I heard your call. Don't you consider taking the two of us there? With our assistance, you can get it this afternoon."

Leonardo grabbed Martin's shoulders and said, "You won't be ungrateful, leave the two old brothers here, and go to date a beautiful woman by yourself?"

Nicholson ran on: "Martin is certainly not this kind of person." He was not polite at all, picked up his coat and left: "Leo, hurry up, you can't keep the lady waiting."

"Wait!" Martin called to stop them, and said, "The beauty said that this is a date for two people, and you can't bring a third person to the scene."

He didn't want to bring these two goods again: "This time is different. I will go to explore the road first. If I need your help, I will call you as soon as possible. Compared with the two of you, I have less experience, poorer skills, and less money." Bo, I will definitely ask you for advice."

Leonardo just put on a gesture, Nicholson is not worried, he still has to keep it a little bit.

If he really messed up, when he was picking up girls, Martin, a rotten guy, would definitely dare to light up a ton of fireworks to add to the fun.

"Forget it, good luck." Leonardo waved his hand casually.

Martin said to Nicholson again: "Don't forget our agreement, we are not suitable to appear outside together now."

Nicholson nodded: "That's right, wait until The Dark Knight is released."

Martin left quickly, and called Bruce when he went downstairs. When he arrived at the gate of the villa, Bruce had already driven over.

After getting into the car, Martin gave the address, and said, "Take two more laps, and watch out for those two guys to follow."

After the car drove out of the gate, Brewster turned around twice to make sure that Nicholson and Leonardo were not following, and then rushed to Sherman Oaks.

Martin was worried, turned around and stared for a while, but found nothing else, but the van in Marlon Brando's yard turned north from a three-way intersection.

It reminded him of what Leonardo said about the house and the party, and asked, "Shall we move to a bigger house?"

Bruce said, "Too small now?"

Martin said, "Let's talk about it next year."

Bruce suddenly remembered something, and said: "Peter has reached a settlement with several victims, and will pay a considerable amount of money. I heard that he is short of cash and sold several properties on the east coast."

"Old Bu, if you catch Pete masturbating alone, Pete will become bald." That's what Martin said, but he thinks this matter can be paid attention to.

He asked: "I remember Pete had a super mansion in Beverly Hills?"

Bruce pays attention to Pete from time to time and knows a lot about it. He said: "In 2001, before Pete married Aniston, the super mansion he bought for nearly $13 million belonged to his pre-marital property and is also Pete's current residence."

Martin wondered, was it a good man who did it to the end?

Bruce also said: "The mansion was first built in 1934. When Pete bought it, the house was rather dilapidated. He asked a company to renovate it. It is said that it cost tens of millions. Although the appearance of the mansion has not changed, it has not actually been completed. several years."

Martin made a decision: "Let Ivan keep an eye on that, and if Pete plans to sell this mansion, remember to notify me."

Bruce said: "I think Pete will thank you, you have considered his worries in advance."

Martin has the awareness to be a good person: "If Pete is anxious to sell at a low price, we will help him. If he doesn't sell, then we will talk about it later."

Soon, the car arrived at the business district of Sherman Oaks and stopped in front of a French restaurant.

Martin got out of the car and entered the restaurant. Before he could ask the waiter, he saw Elizabeth Olsen in a white dress walking over quickly.

"You're here." Elizabeth smiled sweetly, her perfectly fitted white dress highlighted her youthful and attractive curves.

Martin made a phone call gesture: "I received your call and rushed over immediately."

Elizabeth walked to the deck, invited Martin to sit down, and sat opposite him again, raised her head and chest out, and said: "I seem to have heard Leonardo's voice when I was on the phone, he and Jack Nichols Mori..."

"They didn't come." Martin smiled shyly, "I'm sorry about what happened last time."

Speaking of the last time, Elizabeth felt a little uncomfortable. She had prepared for so long, but was interrupted by someone, and Martin didn't take the initiative to ask her to come out and explain.

Martin, who can roughly guess Elizabeth's thoughts, specifically said: "In February, I took a role and locked myself in a hotel for more than 40 days. I cut off contact with the outside world and have been studying the role."

Elizabeth remembered, and said, "Joker? Nicholson is still arguing with you about this?"

Martin solemnly said: "This role is really difficult to grasp, and it is easy to get people's mentality. I was completely immersed in the role, and even my mental state had problems. It scared many people in the crew. Maggie Gyllenshire and Michael- When Kane played with me, I was so scared that I forgot my words."

He was very helpless: "This is a terrible character. You can see it when the Dark Knight releases the trailer. I was too involved in the play, and I forgot everything. Only the clown was in my mind, and even Bell, who was also too involved in the role, , touched me during non-filming time..."

Elizabeth covered her mouth in surprise. She was an insider herself and had heard of similar cases. This is not particularly rare in Hollywood.

"The crew kept this matter secret, I..." Martin paused, "I just want to explain it clearly to you."

Elizabeth nodded vigorously: "I will never tell anyone." She asked concerned: "Are you feeling better now?"

Martin told the truth: "I go to the psychological clinic every week, and the problem is not particularly serious."

Elizabeth thought of the rumors in the industry. Many people who have worked with Martin said that he is a dedicated and good actor, and said, "Martin, you are too hardworking."

Then, I was a little envious: "It would be great if I could have half of your acting talent."

Martin encouraged: "You are also very good. We have worked together before. I know how good you are. As long as you have the right opportunity, Elizabeth, you may be more famous than your sisters."

This sounds good, Elizabeth smiled unconsciously: "I hope so, thank you for your encouragement. By the way, I also want to thank you specifically. I got the role of young Caroline. Thomas said that you greeted the crew."

Martin smiled: "Don't worry about a little thing, we are friends."

"I owe you many times." Elizabeth beckoned the waiter to order.

The two returned to the past, chatting in full swing.
