American fame and fortune

Nicholson, who was striding, stopped five meters away from Blanchett, holding a bright bouquet of roses in both hands, and said loudly, as if reciting lines from a drama: "I love Blanchett! I love Blanchett …”

Regardless of Blanchett's expression, Nicholson's performance was self-centered.

Because he thought it was fun and had fun, not only did he speak louder, he also said it with all his heart, with sincerity on his face and his whole heart: "Cate Blanchett, marry me!"

There was an uproar.

Who in Hollywood doesn't know that Cate Blanchett is married?

Martin shouted not far away: "Marry him! Marry him!"

After Leonardo heard it, he immediately followed: "Marry him!"

Not only did he shout, he also opened his arms to encourage people around him to help: "We are witnessing the birth of a great love, let's shout together!"

Onlookers never take it too seriously. First, the few people who followed Leonardo shouted, and after a few seconds, all the people watching around started shouting.

"Marry him! Marry him..."

Some passers-by didn't even understand what was going on and shouted along.

Blanchett's face was extremely ugly. Who in Hollywood didn't know that she had a husband and the couple had a great relationship. As long as she returned home to Australia, she would be a good wife and mother.

This bastard wants to ruin her reputation?

With a dark face, Blanchett strode up to Nicholson, grabbed the bright roses and threw them on the ground.

Still not satisfied enough, she stepped on it and turned it into a puddle of mud.

Nicholson looked quite helpless: "I'm just asking for love, I'm not hurting you, so there's no need."

Blanchett was still stepping on the roses vigorously, and on her cold face, words of ridicule came out like iron plates rubbing against each other: "Get out! Ugly, you look old and ugly..."

She spat very rudely: "Bah!"

Nicholson spread his hands innocently and did nothing more, acting more and more like a gentleman who couldn't make love.

Not far away, his daughter Lorraine was holding a handheld camera and captured all the scenes.

Nicholson said: "I just love you very much and hope you can give me a chance." He was an old man and was very, very angry when he saw Blanchett. There was something special in his words: "Although I am old Now, his influence has weakened, and he has become an inconspicuous old white man in Hollywood, but he still has the right to express love."

He specifically emphasized: "Old white men in Hollywood should also have spring."

"Bah!" Blanchett spat again and cursed loudly: "Disgusting old white Hollywood man!"

Nicholson shook his head and finally said nothing, but instead took the initiative to get out of the way.

When Blanchett heard the commotion around her, she turned around and walked away quickly. She might have vomited if she stayed there for another minute.

When she walked out of the crowd, Nicholson called Leonardo: "Let's go, let's go."

Leonardo, Nicholson, and Lorraine, who followed secretly, got on a battery car and evacuated the scene like wind.

Martin jumped into the driver's seat of the battery car, told Bruce to sit down quickly, and went straight to the parking lot of the studio.

Ten minutes later, Martin arrived at the WMA headquarters in Century City, where they arranged to meet.

Martin entered the lobby on the first floor, waved to Leonardo and the three people in the rest area, and asked for a reception room directly from the front desk.

With his current position in the company, it would not be a problem to receive visitors in Ali Emmanuel's office.

On the one hand, it's about the star position, on the other hand, Martin's three-year contract is about to expire.

Now the whole company wants to support him.

It is not easy to get a star like Martin, who has huge commercial appeal and is still in the rapid rise period, to sign for another three years.

After the door to the reception room was closed, Nicholson asked for the digital camera from Lorraine.

Martin and Leonardo immediately approached.

Lorraine was quite helpless. Her father was unreliable, and her two best friends in the past few years seemed even more unreliable.

Three idiots get together and cause trouble all day long.

Martin looked at the video and gave Lorraine a thumbs up: "It was a good shot."

Lorraine smiled back.

Leonardo was a strong man who was brought in temporarily and asked: "What should we do next?"

Martin looked at Nicholson: "You are the director, producer and leading actor. It is up to you to decide what to do."

Nicholson already had an idea: "Of course we have to sell it and earn back all the money invested today. It is estimated that we can also make a profit. We will never do a business that loses money."

Martin nodded: "You really know how to do business."

Nicholson was actually modest: "I learned it all from you."

Martin turned his head: "Old Bu, contact person."

Bruce asked: "Direct transaction?"

"Direct transaction." Nicholson glanced at Lorraine, thinking that his daughter needed to exercise: "You go and trade."

Lorraine opened her mouth wide: "Me? Okay, I'll go."

Nicholson added: "If it can't be sold for $10,000, you can replenish it for me if you need it, and you can take the extra money yourself."

Lorraine copied a copy of the video and followed Bruce out to find Jody to make a deal.

Leonardo asked: "Jack, did you do it on purpose?"

Martin was also interested.

Nicholson said: "If you want to have fun, of course you have to add ingredients to it. Old white men in Hollywood are all petty, haha..."

He himself is one of them, of course he understands.

Martin patted Leonardo on the shoulder: "You have the most say."

Leonardo was about to cry.

Martin looked at Nicholson: "You are such a talented person. Blanchett is taking the art route to win awards. If the old people really have a prejudice against her, she will be in trouble."

Nicholson laughed: "It can't be so fast. Let's bury an unpleasant seed first."

Martin said: "Work harder, she is so recognizable, she must be remembered by old people."

Leonardo pointed at his two bad friends: "You guys, you've always been so reliable when it comes to being a bad person."

"If you want a video to sell for a high price, you have to let the seller know what the selling point is!" Martin took out his cell phone and called Bruce and told him the real selling point of the video.

On the other side, in a mall in Century City, Lorraine met Jody, the editor-in-chief of TMZ.

Jodi, who looked pretty but had no butt or breasts, saw Lorraine and asked, "Are you looking for me?"

Lorraine clenched the card reader in her hand and said, "Check the password first."

Jodi was helpless, but he could only say: "Who is Leonardo's favorite?"

Lorraine made sure she was right and said, "Gisele Bündchen."

She turned back and looked at Bruce behind her. Although she didn't see anyone, she felt a little relieved thinking that Bruce would protect her. She took out the card reader and the lion said loudly: "I want 20,000 US dollars for this video."

Jodi took the card reader and plugged it into his laptop. After clicking on the playback button, he found that it was a scene of Nicholson courting Blanchett and being flatly rejected by Blanchett.

Although Blanchett's words were a bit excessive and her behavior was rude, it was understandable to someone like Nicholson.

The content on the video is not exciting enough.

Jodi shook his head: "It looks like nonsense. It's not worth $20,000. Nicholson and Blanchett are both quite popular, and the middleman who introduced you is also reliable. I'll take the $5,000."

After selling it at this price, Lorraine had to spend $5,000 to support her father. No matter how willing she was, she calmed down a little, played the video again, and then hit pause at the key point to let Jody listen to what Blanchett said repeatedly.

Jody's sense of news is sharp enough. After listening to it one more time, he immediately realized the greatest value of this video and said immediately: "10,000 US dollars."

Lorraine had never done such a deal before, so she couldn't hold herself back and said, "If you want $15,000, take it."

"Deal." Jodi was afraid that she would regret it, so he took out his checkbook and wrote the check.

Lorraine realized that the sale was cheap, but with the check in hand, she couldn't regret it, so she got up and left.

Jodi immediately returned to the company and called the technical staff from the editorial department.

"Here, here, the audio is a little clearer," she said, playing the second time Blanchett spits. "Here, the audio is turned up high to make her voice sound sharper."

While waiting for the video to be processed, Jody sat behind his desk, thinking about how to attract attention.

As an entertainment reporter with a high degree of professionalism, it didn't take long for Jodi to come up with the news headline.

"Cate Blanchett is suspected of being dissatisfied with certain groups and attacking the old white men in Hollywood!"

Anyway, since he is not a black person, he will not cause troubles such as racial discrimination.

Jodi finished writing the article and asked his assistant to watch the video and headlines and write some news content.

The assistant watched the video again and said, "Boss, can this really attract attention?"

"Absolutely!" Jodi warned: "Don't forget, you can reprint it if you indicate the source. The Hollywood Reporter and Entertainment Weekly will definitely reprint it."

The assistant didn’t understand: “Why?”

Jodi said: "Because the old white men in Hollywood are very sensitive, but outdated, there is only one place where they can show their presence and influence. If anyone messes with them, even if they offend them inadvertently, they can waste their money." I’ll spend ten years arguing with you.”

The assistant was still confused.

Jodi simply gave an example: "For example, Leonardo just said that he didn't want to steal the limelight of Oscar."

The assistant suddenly understood and said: "I understand, you are talking about the core group of the college. They are really old white men and petty people."

Jody had an idea and thought of another thing: "Blanchett has a grudge against the Academy. In 1999, she was the number one favorite for the Best Actress Oscar, but Gwyneth Paltrow took the top spot. Best actress, Blanchett is taking this opportunity to vent!"

The assistant flattered him: "Tou, you are so awesome!"

…………

On the other side, Martin picked up Elizabeth on the South Hillside, went straight to the Brentwood neighborhood, and drove directly into Leonardo's mansion.

Leonardo and Nicholson were already sitting in the living room chatting.

The former's temporary female companion, Bar Refaeli, took the initiative to greet Martin, and asked Elizabeth to talk about women's topics.

Bar Refaeli has a strange relationship with Leonardo. She lives in Leonardo's mansion and is nominally Leonardo's girlfriend. She borrows Leonardo's fame and quickly becomes popular in the modeling industry.

But she never cared about Leonardo's love affairs outside. Leonardo could find as many women as he wanted. Even if he brought her back to have a rave party, Bar Refaeli would help prepare it.

Probably this is called each getting what he needs.

Martin chatted with Nicholson and Leonardo for a while, and Lorraine and Bruce entered the living room one after another.

Lorraine handed the check to Nicholson: "$15,000, it's all here."

"Take it." Nicholson transformed into a generous old father: "You deserve this."

Lorraine suddenly felt that the trio headed by her father was quite good.
