American fame and fortune

At the beginning of the night, the Escalade that Martin and Elizabeth were riding in parked next to a club on Pennsylvania Avenue.

In another car, Ali and Thomas got out together.

The two Martins followed them into the club.

Arriving at the door of a reception room, the black suit guarding the door should be a White House Secret Service member.

Rahm Emanuel is now the White House chief of staff.

Ali opened the door and said to several people: "Please come inside."

Martin and Elizabeth were at the rear.

When passing the door, the special agent nodded slightly, patted his chest first, and then raised his right hand to make a hidden gesture of drinking water.

Martin is all too familiar with it, as he uses a similar move when drinking a Coke on the red carpet.

It's obvious that this is a member of the Cult of Coca-Cola.

Martin smiled at him and followed him into the conference room.

After the Santa Monica Pier incident, there were already tens of millions of Coca-Cola cult members in the United States.

Rahm-Emmanuel and his wife stood in the reception room and said with a smile: "Hi, Martin, we meet again."

Martin walked a few steps quickly and stepped forward to shake hands with Ram: "I originally planned to wait for Ali to come over and I would pay him a visit..."

"You don't have to be so polite." Ram invited, "Sit down wherever you want."

His wife came over and said to Elizabeth: "There are leisure programs suitable for ladies here, so let's not participate in their boring topics."

Elizabeth responded with a smile and followed Madame Emmanuel out of the reception room through the side door.

Ram got right to the point: "Martin, you have done better and better in the past two years and have become a cultural phenomenon."

Martin smiled and replied: "It is mainly the support of WMA. Ali has invested a lot of resources in me in the past few years. Without his help, I would not be where I am today, so I have always cooperated with WMA. Even if CAA continues to tempt me, I will not be here." Never changed my mind.”

Ali responded: "Martin is now the ace of WMA. I have a plan to build the Martin brand into a cultural icon similar to Star Wars."

Thomas discussed this matter with Martin. Martin himself was not interested in Star Wars, but he was very aware of the importance of Star Wars in the eyes of Americans.

It is no exaggeration to say that Star Wars is the first benchmark of American film culture, and it does not even reflect its influence.

Martin’s words fit the occasion: “I will fully cooperate with the company.”

Ali is the largest shareholder of WMA. Are WMA's interests related to Lahm?

Of course Martin wouldn't be stupid enough to ask.

"We gained a lot during our last trip to California." Ram said of the previous election: "Your tendencies have affected many members of the Coca-Cola Cult."

He laughed: "This loose alliance admires you very much."

Martin seemed very casual and humble: "The Coca-Cola cultists are just superficial. Because they like my character and Coca-Cola, they gather on the Internet and lack organization and cohesion."

Lamm has seen the power of these people in the general election: "Cola Cult members are all over the United States, and voters can influence electors."

Ali interjected: "If it weren't for the provisions of the Entertainment Act, I would have extended an invitation to you to become a partner in the company."

Martin laughed: "The company has been very supportive of me."

Rahm added: "You are now one of the most famous democrats in the United States."

"When I voted in the general election, the party was marked on the ballot," Martin said.

Since Atlanta, Martin has been entangled with people from the Donkey Party. Kelly Gray, who has always been in a relationship, later Louise Meyer, and Jennifer Aniston, etc., are all members of the Donkey Party. member.

There are many members and supporters of the Donkey Party in Hollywood, including Tom Hanks, Sean Penn, the Roberts family, Spielberg and Lucas, Meryl Streep, Scarlett Johansson, George - Clooney and more.

The support and motivation of celebrities are actually very effective. Every time there is an election, Hollywood stars are always invited to stand.

To put it bluntly, the Hollywood Oscars use the rules of the general election.

Considering Martin's growing influence, especially on members of the Coca-Cola Cult, Rahm gave him a favor: "In two days, there will be an Independence Day celebration, and Barack will personally honor you."

Martin said: "While I was injured and hospitalized, Barack took time out of his busy schedule to visit me. I always wanted to thank him in person."

Ram followed up his words by saying, "The opportunity to thank you will come soon."

Martin cursed secretly, these people who engage in politics are much darker than those who engage in entertainment.

Ram said: "Barack's eldest daughter Maria is about to go on summer vacation and is preparing to participate in summer practice. She is very curious about film shooting and production and wants to go to a film company for practice."

Martin reacted very quickly: "I have this covered. Whether she wants to go to a first-class large-scale production crew or an art crew, it doesn't matter."

The two sides chatted for a while, basically you support me and I give you a hand.

The huge influence of the Coca-Cola Cult gave Martin some capital.

Just after 8:30, Martin said goodbye and left the club.

On the Escalade back, Elizabeth said: "I made an appointment with Mrs. Emmanuel, and when she and her children go to Los Angeles to play, I will host them all the way."

Martin discovered that the little witch can do more than just wash her face.

Elizabeth held his arm tightly and said, "There are some things that are not convenient for you to do. I can help."

She said intentionally or unintentionally: "Mom and dad both said that lady diplomacy is sometimes easier to bring closer relationships."

Martin patted her hand: "Just go ahead and do it, and tell me if you need anything."

At this point, he remembered what Ram had just mentioned, and it was undoubtedly more appropriate for Elizabeth to do it.

Martin thought about it and said: "After the Independence Day celebration ceremony, there will be a reception luncheon at the White House. The whole family will attend. His eldest daughter Marissa wants to participate in film-related practical activities during this summer practice..."

Elizabeth remembered everything in her mind. When Martin finished speaking, she thought about it carefully and said, "Leave this matter to me. It will be more convenient for girls to talk to girls."

Back at the hotel, Bruce opened the door and found Lily playing with the camera inside, and nodded to Martin.

Martin took off his coat and hung it up, and asked, "Are you going out to take pictures so late?"

Lily said: "When you are awarded the honor, I will take a photo of it so that it can be used as a blueprint for carving."

Elizabeth answered: "We will buy it as a collection when the time comes."

Lily deliberately gave Elizabeth a thumbs up quietly.

Elizabeth winked at her.

Martin saw it and was too lazy to talk to them. He went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes. At the same time, he said to Lily: "Go back to your room as soon as possible if you have nothing to do."

Lily put away the camera and said, "I'll sleep on my side here at night." She added, "I agreed with Elizabeth."

Martin remembered something from his time in Atlanta and said to Elizabeth: "You don't know her..."

Elizabeth said: "Lily promised me."

Lily smiled at her.

Martin shook his head and entered the master bedroom.

That night, Elizabeth didn't sleep well. She was tortured to death by Martin. Even when she woke up in the morning, her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke.

Lily didn't sleep well either. She had two big dark circles under her eyes and kept staring at Elizabeth when she came out of the room.

She couldn't understand why the girl who usually looked quiet screamed so loudly.

During this day, Martin took the two of them to buy suitable clothes and visited several famous attractions in Washington.

During this period, Benjamin called, and Martin made a special trip to the north gate of the White House to meet with Benjamin.

Benjamin took a dozen off-duty White House Secret Service members and waited near the North Gate.

After Martin passed away, these relatively young agents, although not as crazy and enthusiastic as fans, became more uniform.

They said together: "Eternal Coke God! Eternal Coke God of War!"

Martin took photos with them and asked their names. When each person signed, he wrote a different congratulatory message.

For a poor student, writing all kinds of inspiring greetings will kill many brain cells.

Benjamin also specifically asked for autographs and photos from other members of the Coke Cult on duty.

Martin fulfilled their requests one by one.

Although he and Bruce made some jokes, they didn't take them seriously. The Coca-Cola Cult was a loose organization after all.

Not long after, Martin said his goodbyes and left.

On the streets of Washington, the Independence Day atmosphere is stronger than in Los Angeles.

On the morning of July 4th, Benjamin arrived at the Hilton Hotel on time and took Martin to the White House to attend the celebration.

Once again on the North Lawn, Martin was seated in the front row.

Lily and Elizabeth were in the family area slightly further back.

Soon after Martin sat down, more people came over one after another, many of whom he knew.

The person in the wheelchair is Stephen Hawking. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is not just awarded to Americans.

Coming to Martin's side was the famous Spielberg.

Martin went to Hawking first and expressed his respects, hoping to get a comment similar to Charlize Theron.

For example, in endless parallel universes, Martin Davis is a hero.

The electronic sound that sounded was: "Hello, leader."

A nearby photographer recorded it, and Martin turned around and gestured to Bruce.

Lao Bu understood the idea and immediately went to the photographer to get a copy.

This is the leader of the Coca-Cola Cult certified by Hawking!

Martin came back and shook Spielberg's hand again: "Steven, you are my idol and the director I most want to work with. Jaws, ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park, you have taken over all the fun of my childhood."

"Today, I'm your supporting actor," Spielberg said.

Both he and Hawking received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

It's the kind of hanging neck type that Martin took last time.

Martin told the truth: "Actually, I don't want it. Who wants to face that kind of situation?"

Spielberg watched the relevant video and said: "You are amazing. Let's have a good chat when we have time. I have heard Catherine praise you more than once."

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" producer Kathleen Kennedy is Spielberg's right-hand man.

As Guan Hai stepped onto the podium, the scene quickly became quiet.
