American fame and fortune

After dinner, Martin, Nolan, Emma Thomas and Mordecai went upstairs together.

"When you go to Casablanca, you must visit my home." Mordechai extended an invitation very enthusiastically: "Give me a chance to entertain you."

Martin smiled: "Professor, you are too polite."

Nolan said: "That will have to wait until my next trip to Morocco for filming."

Mordecai was very sincere: "When you leave Morocco, you can transfer through Casablanca."

Nolan politely declined.

Mordecai got off the elevator first.

Martin and Nolan's rooms were on the upper floor.

Back in the room, Bruce opened the bag, took out the gift from Professor Mordecai, and handed it to Martin.

Martin opened it and took a look, but it was an old coral that is a specialty of Morocco.

"It's beautiful," Bruce said.

Martin handed it back to him: "Put it away."

He went to take a shower, and when he came out, his cell phone rang, but it was Thomas who was stuck in time and called him.

Thomas has basically finalized the adaptation of "The Martian."

Having experience in the operation of "Gone Girl", Davis Studio will recommend the novel to Random House for publication and then adapt it into a film.

Martin hung up the phone and said, "Those people at the FBI are really good people."

Bruce asked: "Which novel is good?"

Martin found the manuscript and handed it to him: "Read it carefully."

Bruce didn't answer it at all: "Just kill me."

Martin looked down upon him: "A scumbag!"

…………

An ordinary van drove to the dimly lit area of ​​the hotel, and several women got on board one after another.

The ordinary-looking female assistant stood on the carriage, and a floor plan of the hotel was posted on the smooth metal wall.

Gisele and three other people got into the car.

The female assistant asked Giselle in French: "Have you made an appointment?"

Giselle nodded: "I'll go up in half an hour."

The female assistant took out a lipstick and handed it to her: "There is a sleeping aid in it. It will happen soon after taking it. People can sleep soundly all night without waking up easily."

Gisele checked the lipstick to make sure there was nothing wrong with it.

Another woman pulled out a large trolley case from the side.

The female assistant said: "After you finish, we will pretend to be passengers on the same floor and go up with our suitcases."

Giselle checked the suitcase: "Mordecai is quite small. This will fit him fine, but I need help to move him."

The body of an unconscious person is dead, and even if they have undergone certain training, it is difficult for one person to fit inside.

The female assistant said: "They and I will go up and help you."

She came to the floor plan of the hotel and pointed to a location on it: "This is a freight elevator in the hotel. It is almost unused from 11 pm to 5 am. We use this freight elevator to retreat. We come out from the unloading side back door and go up. Immediately after the bus, we headed east. Ouarzazate is not far from Algeria, and there was someone on the border to pick us up."

Several women took it to heart.

The female assistant finally said: "Let me remind you again that communication must be in French. If an unexpected situation occurs, we are French personal behavior!"

"Understood." Giselle responded, put away her lipstick, and after making sure everything was normal outside the car, she got out of the car, turned onto the road ahead, and entered the hotel.

She carried her bag and went to the passenger elevator. After waiting for a while, the elevator came down.

Mene, who was wearing black clothes, came out of the elevator and saw Giselle at a glance. She smiled and said hello: "Good evening."

Giselle was calm and smiled: "Want to go out?"

Mene smiled with two lines of white teeth: "The air in the hotel is stuffy, let's go out for a walk."

Giselle saw that the elevator door was about to close, so she quickly pressed it and pointed inside: "I'm going up."

Mene hurriedly opened the door and said, "Goodbye."

Giselle got into the elevator.

As Mei Nei walked out, he couldn't help but secretly lamented that Professor Mordechai had no vision.

Wouldn’t it be nice for the professor to find someone of similar age? What's so good about being so young?

Mene came out of the hotel, looked at his watch, and found that it was still early, and Emma Thomas couldn't get out at this time. While wandering aimlessly, he found some headphones and plugged them into his phone, turned on the phone to play, and started learning French along the way.

This was also preparation for the role with Isabelle Huppert.

Although Mene has reached a height that is difficult for ordinary actors to reach by relying on his verbal skills and Martin's recommendation, he also sees the hard-working side of Martin and will go all out when preparing.

When people concentrate on doing one thing, time always passes very quickly.

I don't know how much time passed, but Mene heard the ringtone of her cell phone, looked at the caller ID, and quickly answered the call, but she didn't rush to speak.

Emma Thomas's voice sounded on the receiver: "Chris and I have something to do. We will go out later. You find a hidden place first. I will go directly to you later."

She specifically asked: "Don't go too far, it's just near the hotel."

Mene responded: "No problem."

The other party quickly hung up the phone.

Mene put away his headphones and looked around. The quietest place nearby was undoubtedly the back side of the hotel.

There are trees over there, and there are almost no street lights. No one will pass by later in the day, and it is relatively close to the five-star hotel. There is no need to worry about security issues. If something happens, just shout to the hotel security and they will hear it.

Mene walked that way and when he came near the back door he spotted a van.

Because he was thinking about his goddess Emma Thomas, Mene subconsciously stopped when he saw the car and stood behind a tree to see if there was anyone in the car.

If there are people, please move to other places. If no one is there, the back of the car seems to be very good.

It can block the line of sight without destroying the mood of the outdoors.

…………

In the hotel suite, Giselle went to the bathroom to take a shower. At first, she could still hear Mordecai making occasional noises. When she came out of the shower wrapped in a towel, Mordecai was sitting on the sofa and had fallen asleep.

She quickly changed her clothes and went over to pat Mordechai: "Professor! Professor!"

Mordecai was snoring heavily and showed no reaction.

Giselle pushed him again to make sure he wouldn't wake up, took out her phone from her bag, and dialed the number with one click.

After the phone rang three times, she hung up.

Giselle came to the door and looked out through the peephole. The corridor was very quiet.

She hid behind the door, waiting for the person to come up.

In the van, the female assistant put away the phone, opened the partition window, and patted it gently.

The female driver nodded slightly.

The female assistant asked the other two people to get out of the car. One of them got down and looked around. It was pitch black and there was nothing abnormal. She said in French: "It's normal. Hurry up."

The female assistant handed her a large suitcase. When she saw that she was about to drag it, she quickly reminded her: "Be careful with the wheels. Don't drag it on the bad road here. No matter how thin Mordecai is, he is still a man. If the wheels are broken, drag him." It would be inconvenient to walk around and arouse suspicion.”

The man lifted the suitcase.

The female assistant and another person got out of the car, closed the trunk door, and walked along the road towards the main entrance of the hotel.

The three men soon passed near a tree.

Menei in black stood motionless behind the tree. He had experienced many things with Martin, and he still had the basic psychological quality.

The talent advantage also makes him more difficult to detect in the dark.

The three women walked further and further away,

Mene, who had been holding his breath, took several breaths in succession. When they turned the corner, he took out his mobile phone and followed them quietly.

All those people's conversations in French fell into Uncle Menet's ears.

Is there something going on with the crew? He is the second male lead!

Martin is the leading actor on the crew, and Emma Thomas is the producer. Mene has a conscience and cannot sit back and watch something happen to the crew.

And he recognized the leading woman, who was clearly a female assistant on the set.

The target is Professor Mordechai? This reminded Mene of something. Giselle, who had hooked up with the professor, would sometimes whisper to the female assistant.

Mene made some guesses and came to the hotel door and saw three women walking through the lobby and entering the elevator.

He was an actor by nature. He imitated Lao Bu and entered the hotel leisurely. As if he didn't know anything, he grabbed his pocket and walked to the elevator.

Turning to the entrance of the elevator, I saw the suitcase being dragged in at the end.

Mene waited for a few seconds, walked quickly in, stood in front of the elevator and waited patiently.

The elevator went up and stopped at the floor where Professor Mordecai and the British actors lived.

Mene immediately entered another elevator, came to the floor where Martin lived, ran to Martin's room, and knocked on the door.

Bruce opened the door and saw Mene, curious: "Didn't you go on a date?"

Mene quickly walked into the room and closed the door: "Boss, boss, something happened."

In a few words, he talked about what he had just encountered and his conjectures.

"Why did they kidnap the professor?" Mene couldn't understand.

But Martin picked up his phone: "Go to the director and producer first and see what they say."

Mene asked: "Aren't we going to rush over?"

Bruce patted him from behind: "Are you going to get shot? This is Africa."

When Martin went out, he suddenly remembered Nolan's words. The professor is going to Tehran for academic exchange?

Is there any connection between this? North Africa and the Middle East are close to each other and their relationship is complicated.

While Martin was thinking, he had already knocked on Nolan's door.

Nolan was surprised: "Is something wrong?"

Martin walked in first and waved, Mene and Bruce followed.

When Nolan closed the door, Mene had already repeated it.

Emma Thomas glanced at Mene and wondered: "Why?"

Nolan shook his head: "I'm not sure." He tried his best to stay calm. Due to his lack of experience in handling similar incidents, he asked Martin: "You have experienced more similar incidents than me. What do you think we should do?"

Time is urgent. Martin said: "My personal opinion is that if we let them take away the professor, we may be in trouble. The crew may be investigated by Morocco for a long time."

He was very direct: "The bodyguards of the production crew, as well as the security personnel assigned to the production crew by the Moroccan authorities, live on the two floors below. They are all equipped with guns. As long as they are notified, it is not difficult to stop these women."

Nolan knew that he was far inferior to Martin in this regard, so he motioned for him to continue.

Martin knew Nolan well, and it was too easy to get him to follow his own ideas: "We can record the whole process, Chris. During the filming of the crew, the director personally led people to solve a kidnapping case..."

Nolan is not an ordinary director. He immediately thought of the popularity brought by it and said: "It makes sense."

"It's up to you and Emma to make a decision on this matter." Martin took the initiative to back down, because Nolan said that Mordecai was going to Tehran for academic exchanges, and it seemed that he was good at building centrifuges.

As the director with the perfect combination of ability and marketing, Nolan made the decision: "Let's do it."

He personally called people to inform them.
