American fame and fortune

Because he was awakened by the kiss of love from Elizabeth Olsen just after dawn, Martin arrived at the company relatively early after finishing his morning exercise.

Alice at the front desk has already come to the company and opened the door.

Martin nodded to her and went upstairs with Bruce.

The elevator quickly reached the fourth floor. Martin entered the elevator room and smelled a very faint smell: "What's the strange smell? Old Bu, do you smell it?"

Bruce sniffed hard: "Did anyone with smelly feet take off their shoes in the elevator last night?"

Martin turned out of the elevator and came to the office door. Just as he was about to open the door, his eyes caught sight of the brass handle and he immediately retracted his hand.

He found that the keyhole of the handle was stained with some oil.

If you look closely, there are still light scratches near the keyhole.

Martin subconsciously stepped back and said to Bruce, who was following him: "The situation is not right."

Without saying anything, Bruce took out two pistols, handed one to Martin, and then pressed against the marble wall panel to the door.

He only glanced at it and said: "The lock is new. There is no way it has such traces that it has been opened with a non-matching key."

Martin held the pistol tightly with both hands, guarding Bruce's back, and said: "Let's retreat first. Jessica may have opened the door."

Jessica also has a key to his office, and Jessica cleans it every day.

Bruce reminded: "Go back the way you came."

If someone really broke in illegally, try not to damage the traces as much as possible.

The two of them, one guarding the front and the other guarding the back, retreated to the elevator.

Martin looked carefully at the ground, but there were no traces except his and Bruce's footprints.

The two took the elevator downstairs again.

When Jessica and Emily got out of the elevator, they were about to go upstairs. When they saw Martin and Bruce holding guns, they were stunned for a moment.

What game is the boss playing? Shooting in the company?

Jessica asked: "Boss, are you here?"

Martin came out of the elevator and asked, "I was not here yesterday, but did anyone enter my office?"

Jessica shook her head: "No."

Emily was very sure: "No one went to the fourth floor yesterday except for cleaning."

Jessica asked: "Boss, what happened?"

Bruce put away his pistol: "There may be thieves in the company."

When Martin saw Alice coming over curiously, he blocked the pistol with his body and said, "Alice, go to the door and stop other employees. Don't let anyone in for now."

He said to Bruce again: "Call the police."

Bruce took out his cell phone and called the police. Several people came in one after another on the first floor, and even the diligent Alice briefly cleaned it.

Martin looked around and came to the door. He first looked at the door lock, then lowered the security door and took a look. He called Alice to ask a few questions, but found nothing.

Bruce and Jessica went to check the surveillance camera and found that the surveillance camera was not working properly, the hard drive had been violently removed, and the connected backup power supply had also been destroyed.

Outside the door, two patrol policemen rushed over quickly.

They were just maintaining order and reminding everyone to protect the scene.

After another ten minutes, a detective from the Police Detective Bureau arrived here with manpower and professional technicians.

The staff was spread out to ask about the relevant situation, and they were all polite and careful in everything they said and did.

Inspector Geralt was well aware of Martin's relationship with the director. He came over to shake Martin's hand and asked him personally what he had discovered.

Martin said it carefully and asked Bruce to take him to the monitoring room.

Geralt immediately made a call, summoned more people, and asked people to go nearby to inquire and check the relevant situation.

After struggling for so long, Martin simply gave most of the company's employees a holiday, leaving only managers such as Jessica and Emily.

Geralt came over at this time and invited Martin upstairs.

"We found some traces, but the number was very small. The intruders were very careful." He walked out of the elevator and said: "They should have worn shoe covers and gloves. They left no fingerprints or clear footprints. ."

Arriving at the door of Martin's office, he pointed at the lock: "At least one of them is a master lockpicker. He not only opened this door, but also opened your safe."

Martin remembers it clearly: “There seemed to be no valuables in the safe in the office.”

Geralt said: "Look to see if there is anything missing."

Martin checked the office carefully and found that nothing was missing, and then came to the safe where several technicians gathered.

The safe was empty except for two scripts.

Geralt asked: "Is there anything missing?"

Martin shook his head and squatted down to check the script. He found that the script seemed to have been turned over, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

He first answered Geralt's words: "Nothing was lost. Except for two documents, I didn't put anything else in this safe."

Geralt asked: "Didn't you steal anything?"

Martin said to Bruce: "Look at the other places next to each other."

Not long after, Bruce came over and said, "Nothing was lost. Except for your office, the other rooms have not been touched."

Martin roughly understood that the thief was not stealing property at all, but the target was probably the safe.

He found Geralt and talked briefly.

Geralt told Martin to keep quiet for the time being and leave it to professionals like them to investigate.

Soon, more information came together.

The distribution box connected to the building had been opened, and the surveillance camera's hard drive and hidden spare drive were all missing, apparently taken away.

However, there is good news. Some traces were found on the back of the office building. It seems that someone climbed up to the fourth floor along the drainage pipe, anti-theft net and air conditioner outdoor unit, and violently destroyed the anti-theft net on the safe passage window.

In addition, the surveillance of a nearby building captured several figures in black clothes, black pants and black hoods.

However, there are relatively few surveillances here, and there are very few public surveillances off the road. We can only wait for the Police Detective Bureau to further search for other clues.

Geralt said a few polite words to Martin and quickly led his men to evacuate.

In the office, Martin and Bruce were left.

The latter asked directly: "Are they here for the script?"

Martin took out two scripts and put them on the table in front of him. He looked at the covers and said, "The Seventh Son and The Transcendental Hacker. I thought these two scripts would be used, so I threw them into the safe. , I didn’t expect to attract thieves..."

Bruce asked: "Who knows?"

Martin said: "The company did not keep secrets about the scripts that I had read and rejected but did not have the copyright for. Many people knew that I kept two scripts."

The studio's office collaboration software database can be queried by regular employees.

Originally, this function was opened to encourage employees to recommend scripts.

Bruce asked again: "Are you very optimistic about these two scripts?"

"No." Martin said simply: "You know magic epics."

Bruce had heard Martin say more than once that he would not accept any fantasy epic projects or roles.

Martin said: "What would they think if they came here for the script and saw the script I locked in a safe?"

Bruce knew that Martin's reputation for good vision was particularly strong now, so he said: "Immediately contact the copyright holder to get the script rights, and there may be a huge investment in production."

"Although I don't know who did it, since they stole it from me, I have to help them no matter what." Martin stood up and took a few steps, picked up the phone and pressed a number: "Jesse, you and Amy Li come here."

Jessica and Emily quickly entered the office.

Martin handed them the script and said, "You should contact the script author or copyright holder to discuss the acquisition of the script."

Jessica looked down. If she remembered correctly, Martin rejected these two scripts last time.

Martin further warned: "Pretend that you are bound to win. Make the noise louder and the negotiations will take longer, but don't really buy the copyright to the script. Do you understand?"

Emily responded: "We created a momentum to win these two scripts?"

Martin nodded: "Yes, let's do it now."

Jessica and Emily immediately contacted the screenwriter, as the contact information was on the script.

After the office door closed, Bruce asked, "Do you want to find the criminal in this regard?"

Martin said: "If someone spends a lot of money to buy these two scripts, will they be included in the script library? They will definitely invest in making movies."

He came to the window and looked at the Disney Studio opposite: "It doesn't actually matter which thieves did it. The most important thing is which people or forces are hiding behind them."

Bruce sighed: "It's not that we want to cause trouble, but there are too many bad people in this circle. If we don't mess with them, someone will mess with us."

Martin laughed: "In the eyes of many bigger forces in Hollywood, I may not be as good as Tom Cruise."

Bruce understood what this meant. Tom Cruise had Scientology behind him and had thirty years of accumulation. He was still almost hacked to the point of being unable to stand up. Fortunately, the accumulated health bar was thick enough...

"Our future purchase projects will be more secretive." Martin thought for a moment and said, "I'll tell Harris later that I'll set up a leather bag company in Harris' name. Let Harris look for any project he likes." People talk.”

He then said to Bruce: "Although there are no important properties here in the company, the security still needs to be upgraded."

Bruce responded: "I'll start doing it right now."

The whole morning passed by dealing with these rags.

In the afternoon, Martin went to Century City and met Nokia's marketing director Cross at WMA.

Martin's two-year endorsement deal with Nokia phones expires this month.

In the past two years, because smartphones and Android have not yet fully exerted their power, coupled with Martin's appeal and the decline of old rival Motorola mobile phones, Nokia mobile phones still occupy an extremely considerable market share in North America.

Martin declined Nokia's invitation to renew his contract, even though Nokia offered an endorsement contract worth $15 million per year.

Cross couldn't understand Martin's choice at all: "Our cooperation in the past two years has been very successful, why not continue it."

"This involves my personal privacy." Martin responded vaguely: "I can only say I'm sorry."
