American fame and fortune.

Chapter 492 Losers Alliance

The sun was rising high. Ben Affleck woke up from his hangover, patted his head that looked like it was going to explode, opened his eyes and looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost ten o'clock in the morning.

He got up quickly, washed briefly, put on a shoulder bag and went out. When he came to the elevator, the elevator just came down. When he entered, he found a woman in the elevator.

The woman had a bulging belly and her hands were in front of her. She was obviously a pregnant woman, the same woman she met yesterday.

Seeing the vigilance on the other person's face, Daben withdrew his gaze, waited until the elevator stopped, and went out first.

He drove all the way north, and not long after leaving Burbank, he came to the San Fernando Valley, where the film and television industry is equally huge.

Daben had been here before and walked around to a coffee shop in the valley area, parked the car and walked in.

Brad Pitt, who has long hair and a beard, is sitting in the corner drinking coffee while wearing a baseball cap.

When he saw Da Ben, he was slightly dissatisfied: "You are late."

"There's a traffic jam on the road." Ben found an excuse, ordered coffee and dessert, sat opposite Peter, and asked, "Why did you move here?"

Pitt also made excuses: "I've had enough of Los Angeles, a place of right and wrong, and I want to come here to cleanse myself."

Ben looked outside the glass window. There was a studio area opposite. He suddenly thought of a possibility: "Brad, you don't want to change careers, do you?"

Pete was stunned for a moment, and then the smile he squeezed out was full of misery: "I haven't made a final decision yet. I'm talking to people to see their sincerity and patterns."

He rubbed his face: "Hey, what can I do? The bank won't lend me money. I still have some Fannie Mae shares, but Fannie Mae has been delisted and cannot be traded directly. A company told me that as long as With an upfront fee of US$1000 million, I can liquidate tens of millions of US dollars of assets in Fannie Mae, so I can only find ways to make money.”

He talked about his own unhappiness, but it would not make Ben feel better: "What about you? I heard that you have been having a hard time in the past six months or so?"

The little pleasure that Ben felt when he heard Pete's misery disappeared in an instant: "Don't mention it, I have experienced divorce, compensation, and attacks from all the women in Hollywood led by Mi Tu, and I am no better than you."

The misery in Peter's smile was visibly reduced, and he felt inexplicably relieved when he saw that his friends were worse off than him.

But he couldn't see his friend suffering and said, "Don't you consider changing careers?"

Big Ben's face turned dark. Peter didn't have any children, but he did.

What should I do if my daughter sees his kind of movies on the screen in the future?Shouting "Come on?"

"I still have some money." Ben just sold a house.

Pete's originally improved mood suddenly turned gloomy again, and he didn't like the book no matter how he looked at it.

Da Ben came over today, not for this reason, and said: "You and I shouldn't be in the situation we are in today. Our affairs are not a big deal in Hollywood. Didn't you just do some housekeeping under coercion? Didn't I just do some acting? Female students in the class? What does this mean?"

Peter took a sip of coffee and murmured: "Times have changed, and those women have become crazy! I also suffered the most shameful betrayal, and was stabbed severely by my wife and girlfriend."

Big Ben asked him: "Who is behind Julie and Aniston? Who is hitting them and pushing them from behind?"

Pete could answer this question with his eyes closed, gritting his teeth: "Martin Davis!"

Big Ben stared at him and asked: "I am similar to you, and I am also related to Martin Davis."

"What?" Pete's first reaction was: "Martin fucked your wife Jennifer Garner?"

Big Ben had a suffocating breath stuck in his throat. He really wanted to take the coffee cup in front of him and hit Pete on the head!He held back his anger and said, "Don't talk nonsense about things that don't happen! I mean, these bad things that happened to me have nothing to do with Martin."

Seeing that Ben was depressed and his mood improved, Peter asked, "What's going on?"

"Martin snatched the rights to adapt a novel that I was optimistic about..." From his perspective, Ben roughly told the story of Martin first grabbing the project and then suppressing their brothers.

I don’t know why, but Pitt feels happy and angry at the same time. He feels happy because of the bad things about the Affleck brothers, and he feels angry because of Martin Davis.

He drank up the cold coffee in one gulp: "Martin doesn't do anything that people do!"

Big Ben came to Peter to find a temporary alliance: "I sold my last valuable property just to prepare for Martin. Peter, you are also a victim of Martin. Have you never thought about fighting back?"

Peter said: "What can I do without money? I plan to liquidate my assets."

Daben shook his head: "I can't wait that long."

Pete asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Find Martin's pain point." Ben learned his lesson and did not plan to waste time and energy on the people around Martin, but on him himself: "We have to be patient. Either we don't take action, or we will make it impossible for Martin to stand up!"

Pitt has been thinking of ways to revitalize that asset, not just for money: "With Martin Davis's current power, we alone cannot deal with him."

Big Ben reminded: "Have you forgotten Harvey?"

Harvey is the real boss of the Football Association. He has already contacted Harvey: "Harvey has invited Martin many times, but he has ruthlessly rejected them all. Martin also stole Wes Craven. Harvey has long been unhappy with him. , as long as we can find Martin’s pain point, Harvey can launch a targeted attack.”

Pete couldn't believe Harvey and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Harvey will bring Quentin's film to compete head-on with Martin's new film at the Cannes Film Festival in May." But Ben had great hopes for Harvey: "Brad, I believe in you and me. Likewise, we still have some connections within the circle, so we mobilized our last connections to find the key to Martin Davis."

These are not difficult. Peter thought for a while and nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Kill Martin!" Ben stretched out his hand.

Pete took his hand.

…………

Davis Estate, Beverly Hills.The black Escalade was parked in Fountain Square. Lily, who was driving, raised the trunk and went down to pick up the luggage with Bruce very consciously.

Elizabeth picked up the two bags Martin had brought with him and asked the housekeeper to let the kitchen prepare lunch.

On the contrary, Martin entered the villa gate empty-handed like an uncle.

Martin took a bag and took out the gift box and gave it to Lily: "Your gift."

Lily was very self-conscious, took the gift box and winked at Elizabeth: "I'll leave now."

Bruce never needs anyone to prompt him and disappears from the villa on his own initiative.

Martin looked at Lily walking out of the villa in surprise. What happened during this time?In the past, she would not leave unless I chased her away.

Elizabeth asked, "Where is my gift?"

Martin took out three gift boxes and handed them to Elizabeth: "These are for you."

Elizabeth opened it and looked at it, and she liked it very much: "The new Hermès bag, the Chanel perfume set, and this Cartier women's watch are very similar to the couple's model you like to wear the most."

Martin smiled: "I picked it especially for you."

Elizabeth picked them all up and walked upstairs: "I'll put them away first."

She walked upstairs, turned back and asked Martin: "Aren't you coming?"

Martin has just returned from South Korea and has been tortured by the nine-member girl group. He is particularly determined.

But this kind of moment is not the time to be stubborn.

The old boy couldn't resist the Scarlet Witch after all.

Martin followed without hesitation and used all kinds of martial arts to make Elizabeth change into his shape again.

After her emotions calmed down, Elizabeth asked, "Can you stay in Los Angeles for a while this time?"

Martin said: "By mid-May, I will first go to Cannes to attend the film festival, and then go to Morocco to join Director Nolan to participate in the filming of his new film. I will probably travel all over the world."

When Elizabeth came back from Martin, she never mentioned the gossip that was being hyped in the entertainment media. She didn't even ask about it, as if nothing had ever happened.

This also gave Martin the warmth and comfort of returning home, isolated from the distractions of the outside world, and able to enjoy a world to himself.

Elizabeth added: "Lily and I have agreed that we will visit the class often."

Martin nodded: "Okay."

It was almost noon, the two of them took a shower, changed clothes, and went downstairs to have lunch.

In addition to Lily and Bruce, Thomas also came over and was chatting with Bruce about his girlfriend.

"I'm sure I've found true love this time. Victoria is living with me." He saw Martin and Elizabeth going downstairs and said, "Martin, Liz, I'll invite you to my new home for a party some other time. I have a girl there." Owner."

Martin asked with a smile: "Then I must go."

Elizabeth said: "Congratulations."

Martin invited everyone: "Let's have lunch together."

Entering the restaurant, the five of them chatted while eating. Bruce also talked about some of his experiences in Korea: "I suffered from prosopagnosia there. Many women's faces looked very similar, as if they were made from the same mold. I couldn't tell the difference at all. It’s unclear who is who.”

Martin said: "It's normal. I can't tell who is who."

Thomas asked: "I heard that Koreans want to invest in your movie?"

Martin roughly said: "I am going to use their funds to make a biopic of Marcus. You should pay attention to the suitable director."

Then, the topic turned to "John Wick".

This film has been released in North America for three weeks, with a total box office of 1.41 million US dollars.

In addition, it was screened in more than 30 overseas markets, and the combined overseas box office gross was close to US$6000 million.

Starting from this weekend, Latin America, one of Hollywood's back garden markets, will also be fully screened.

Just after eating, Martin received a call from Leonardo.

"I heard that you are back?" Leonardo said, "It's a very interesting event. Let's go and participate together."

Martin asked curiously: "What activity?"

Leonardo smiled and said: "Hugh Hefner is about to hold his annual pajama party, and Jack and I are planning to go there."

Martin became interested and asked, "Can you get the invitation?"

"Jack and Hefner have an old relationship." Leonardo said exaggeratedly: "Dozens of invitations are not a problem."

Martin said: "Very good, give me a few more, I have a lot of friends here."
