American fame and fortune.

Chapter 484
The courtyard next door was lit up with colored lights, and Martin went out on time with gifts, walked into the door of his new neighbor Stewart's house, and sent congratulations and gifts to the Stewarts.

John and the Judith couple thanked him. When Christine saw Martin coming to the door, she immediately came over and said, "Martin, come over here. All of us in the film industry are in the small banquet hall."

Martin followed: "Who is here?"

Kristine turned around and said with a smile: "Mainly some of my friends." She asked: "Where is your girlfriend? Why didn't you come together?"

"I went to Europe to participate in an advertising promotion event." Martin said briefly: "I won't be back in a few days."

Lily, who was on spring break, also went along.

As soon as he entered the small banquet hall, a group of girls crowded around him.

"Martin yeah!"

"Christine, you are so great, you really invited Martin!"

"Where's the camera? Where's my camera! Bring it here quickly, I want to take a photo with Martin."

Martin glanced quickly. The oldest of these girls was about the same age as Christine, and the youngest was at most thirteen or fourteen years old.

These people were chattering around him, making him have a headache.

"Quiet! Quiet!" Kristen shouted a few words loudly. When the small banquet hall became a little quiet, she introduced to Martin: "This is Dakota Fanning, this is Ashley Greene, this is Sophia Stallone..."

Martin greeted them one by one.

Christine couldn't help but show off: "Sisters, I invited Martin here, and each of you owes me a favor!"

Ashley Greene, the oldest, shouted: "Take a photo, take a photo, hurry up and take a photo!"

Christine was one of the hosts tonight and asked Martin politely: "Can you take a photo with us and sign an autograph?"

Who has the heart to reject such a group of girls?Martin smiled and said, "No problem."

Kristen yelled, "Dana, come here and take our picture!"

A big boy ran in and took the camera.

Seven or eight girls gathered around Martin, with Kristen occupying the seat on his left. Dakota Fanning and Sofia Stallone had a direct argument over the seat on the right.

Seeing that a big fight between girls was about to take place, Martin, who had a headache from the noise, simply said: "I will take a photo with each of you later."

"Okay! Okay!" Someone clapped their hands.

The small banquet hall almost turned into a fan meeting.

Dakota Johnson whispered: "Martin, can I take two pictures? I also have a sister named Ellie, and she also admires you very much."

Martin nodded: "I know Ellie and we acted in a movie together last year."

Not to be outdone, Sofia Stallone came over and asked, "Can I have three pictures? I have two sisters, Sistine and Scarlett, who are also fans of your movie."

Of course, Martin knew about the famous Stallone's three thousand gold, and said: "Okay."

The girls finally quieted down and stood next to Martin for a group photo.

Afterwards, everyone took photos with Martin.

Christine was well prepared. There was a computer and printer in the small banquet hall. The digital camera was connected to the computer, and the photos were printed out quickly. Two copies of each photo were developed.

One of them was signed by Martin, and the other was presented to Martin by them as a souvenir.

Dakota Fanning, a former child star, is very thoughtful. When some fools sent the photos to Martin, she took out her eyebrow pencil and wrote her personal mobile phone number on the back of the photos.

When I turned around to look, I found that Sophia was doing something similar. I couldn't help cursing in my heart: "As expected of Bichi from the Stallone family, hooking up at such a young age!"

Martin collected a pile of photos and was just about to give a reason to leave when a familiar voice came from the door of the small banquet hall: "Martin."

Kristine saw the person coming and was the first to say hello: "David."

Martin turned around and saw David Fincher, a little surprised: "David, why are you here?"

David Fincher said: "I am friends with Mr. Stewart, and I also worked with Kristen on "Fear Room". Kristen is a very spiritual actor."

Martin remembered that movie with Jodie Foster as the heroine.

David Fincher pulled Martin and left: "Let's talk here, Christine's side is full of young people, and they can't talk to us."

Martin was about to leave and said, "Let's talk some other time."

Dakota Fanning raised her left hand, stretched out her little finger and thumb, and shook it at Martin.

Kristine glanced at her: "You are the only one who plays more."

Dakota Fanning said: "Martin is the number one actor born in the 1s!"

Sofia interjected: "His new film is called "John Wick", a movie version of the Santa Monica Pier Incident. It will be released soon. Let's go see it together then?" "The rating is R." Because. Christine has paid attention to the relationship between neighbors: "You can't go."

Sophia came up with a genius idea: "I'm tall enough. As long as I pad my chest and put on more mature makeup, I can definitely sneak into the theater."

Dakota used both hands to pinch her fried egg: "I'll try to raise it higher!"

A group of girls started making a fuss.

…………

Outside, Martin and David Fincher found a random place and sat at a small round table chatting.

David Fincher asked: "The subsequent production of "Benjamin" has been completed. I carefully read the manuscript of "Gone Girl" and it really suits my style. What about the second half of the novel?"

"I'll have someone send it to you tomorrow. Gillian has completed the first version of the novel and is doing some corrections." Martin asked directly: "David, are you sure you will direct this project?"

David Fincher nodded: "Let your studio negotiate the contract with my agent."

He mentioned the key point again: "You must be the leading actor."

Martin responded: "David, I've always wanted to do a real Fincher movie with you."

In fact, "Benjamin" is not a true Fincher-style movie.

David Fincher mentioned another thing: "Life is like a drama, and sometimes what happens in real life is even more outrageous than the movies we shoot."

Martin felt deeply: "Movie plots must pay attention to logic, but life never pays attention to logic."

David Fincher fully agreed: "That's right!" He said seriously: "Martin, the Santa Monica Pier Incident is actually very suitable to be adapted into a movie."

Martin asked: "Do you have any ideas?"

"Take the Burbank High School incident, the Washington spy incident, and the Santa Monica Pier incident and find a suitable thread to connect them." David Fincher didn't know the connection, but used Hollywood's imagination Lihe's usual approach: "The villains are Russians. Just find any reason or excuse to throw dirt on them. American audiences will accept it no matter how outrageous it is."

There was nothing wrong with the Burbank Middle School incident, but as someone who had personally experienced it, Martin knew that the latter two incidents were deeply shady. He thought about it carefully for a while and said, "These incidents also involve the LAPD and the FBI. If we really want to adapt a movie, we have to fight for it." to their support.”

David Fincher nodded: "What you said makes sense. If the opportunity is right, you can ask both sides for their opinions."

Even without Martin's authorization, someone in Hollywood would still adapt this kind of thing, just like "The Social Network" and other films in his previous life.

He just pondered for a moment and said, "Let me ask for their opinions."

David Fincher is now obsessed with Oscars and wants to win the Best Director as soon as possible. To this end, he even does not hesitate to change his style. However, the quality of the film is the foundation and winning the award is also affected by other factors.

Martin won Best Supporting Actor, which gave David Fincher an idea.

Those three incidents couldn't be more politically correct and have greater social influence. Two of them happened in Los Angeles. The protagonist not only received the honorary citizenship of Los Angeles, but also had a day in Los Angeles as a memorial day every year. As long as it is adapted into a suitable award-winning movie, Don’t be afraid that the judges won’t look at you differently.

David Fincher still has a feeling that winning Best Director and Best Picture are not extravagant wishes!
Of course, this must be done after "Gone Girl", when the two collaborate again, and with Martin's strong support, the adaptation will be even easier.

The two chatted about movies for a while, and more and more guests came to the party.

One of the Stewarts is a screenwriter and producer, and the other is a television producer. They have a wide range of contacts.

On top of that, they invited a lot of people from the community.

Martin saw another neighbor of his, Stuart Townsend.

"Long time no see." Martin greeted him proactively.

Stewart smiled brightly and shook hands with Martin: "Yeah, long time no see, Martin."

Martin asked casually: "Have you not seen Charlize?"

Stewart's smile remained unchanged, but he was very unhappy in his heart. He said, "Sally went out to shoot a movie. It will take some time before she can come back."

"That's it..." Martin roughly figured out that Stewart didn't like him very much. He pointed in front of him and said, "I saw a friend. I went over to say hello."

"It's up to you," Stewart said.

Watching Martin gradually walk away, he put his hands behind his back and rubbed them hard on his clothes, as if shaking hands with Martin had contaminated his hands.

Stewart thought for a while and found John Stewart, whom he had known for a long time. When talking about the community, he lowered his voice and said: "John, you have to be careful about our neighbor Martin. He has always been able to cause trouble, and he has enmity with the Russians. He can't do it." It will hurt us."

John said politely: "I will pay attention to these."

Stewart continued: "Other things to note, this is a man who has a history of destroying other people's families, think about his rumors with Jolie and Aniston."

In order to enhance his persuasiveness, he also used himself as an example: "The last time, Charlize and I went to Martin's house for a party, and he actually seduced Charlize behind my back as a neighbor. Unfortunately, his true identity was discovered by Charlize, and he was attacked. Charlize sternly refused!”

John said more seriously: "Thank you for your advice."

Martin stayed at the party until about nine o'clock and then went home to attend the John Wick announcement the next day.
