The fashion party was held in a luxurious mansion in Beverly Hills. Bruce drove a Volkswagen car and followed Louise's Bentley to support Martin at any time.
When the car arrived at the gate of the manor, they saw Louise, who was dressed up, holding Martin's arm and entering the door. Bruce spit out the dog food with all his strength.
I've been fed too much lately and I feel like vomiting. Typical of the stylish setting for a party, Joanna, the hostess, stood in front of a fountain to greet her guests.
Kate Winslet had been waiting for Louise. When she saw her coming with Martin on her arm, she hurried up to meet her and hugged her friend: "You are so beautiful tonight." Then she turned to Martin and said: "Handsome man, you finally came to Los Angeles. It has developed... Let me take a closer look. You and Louise are simply a golden child." Like a gentleman, Martin took Kate's hand and kissed the back of it: "Beautiful British rose, we can dance together later. ?"
"No problem." Kate led the way: "I'll introduce it to you." Louise nodded: "It's better for you to introduce formally than for me to rush over." The three of them walked to the fountain, and Kate asked Joanna, who was also from England. Louise and Martin are introduced.
Harvey Weinstein also came over from the side and chatted with Louise for a few words. Soon, the three Martins left and walked towards the crowd.
Louise asked: "Kate, are you going to use Harvey Weinstein's power?" Kate shook her head: "It's useless this time. The movie is not his, how can he contribute." She wanted to win the Oscar for Best Actress: "Wait for later. If it doesn't work this time, Joanna can give me some help." Louise suggested sincerely: "Find a crazy or ugly character." Kate couldn't help laughing and looked at Martin: "Remember You said this last time." This was not a joke. Martin was self-aware: "I don't even know which way the college door opens." Kate came over and held Louise's arm: "I want to lend you a female companion to say a few words. , okay?" Martin automatically slowed down.
Kate whispered: "If Harvey Weinstein comes to talk to you privately, be sure to ask Martin to accompany you." Louise understood what she meant: "I will not cooperate with him, and I am not interested in working with him. .”
"If possible, I don't want to." Kate still said the same thing: "If you don't win an Oscar, there is always something wrong." Louise could only say: "I wish your dream will come true soon." Kate gestured unconsciously: "Because of my high box office, I was discriminated against by a group of old men with no commercial achievements. Where can I reason?"
"Don't talk about these troublesome things." Louise also lowered her voice: "Do me a favor later." She whispered to Kate for a while before stopping.
Kate responded: "Okay, it has nothing to do with you, it's mainly because Martin treated me well in Atlanta." After reading the book, Louise's face changed instantly, and her slutty aura couldn't even be suppressed by a formal evening dress: "What? Sam can't satisfy you? Kate, if you want to join in, I don't mind, and Martin certainly doesn't mind either." Kate threw her arm away: "I'm going to find Wes Craven." Martin followed from behind , asked: "Is it okay?" Louise said: "Do you think there is a problem with Kate's acting?" Martin vaguely saw the tall Wes Craven, and pulled Louise up: "Let's go over from the other side ." Louise asked: "Are you sure it will work?"
"I'm not sure. You said Wes Craven likes group parties, so I'll give it a try." Martin said the same thing: "Try hard, and if it doesn't work, withdraw." He whispered: "You're on your side. I've spent a lot of money, and I won't go for platters in the short term. I also have to think of a way. Do I really want you to keep me? What will I do if you squeeze me dry and kick me?" The two of them went around in a circle, and when Kate and Wes - Craven struck up a conversation and walked over there in a leisurely manner, greeting people on the way, just like people in normal interactions.
In addition to Kate, Wes Craven's small circle also includes two people, "Scream" series actors David Arquette and Courteney Cox.
The latter is one of the heroines of "Friends" and is very famous. These people are discussing horror movies.
Martin and Louise walked over, and Louise greeted Kate: "So you are here." Kate smiled: "I met Wes, and David and Courteney happened to come over, and we chatted together. Talk about horror movies." Craven looked at Louise briefly: "You are Mel's daughter." Louise said: "Yes, my father has mentioned you several times. He is a loyal fan of the Nightmare on Elm Street series. ” Then she introduced Martin.
Even if you don't know the male companion you bring to a formal occasion, everyone will pay attention to you. If Martin himself is unable to participate in such a circle, he can only use Louise's influence.
It's not wrong to say that he is being taken care of. A few people exchanged brief greetings, and Kate glanced at the faces of Martin and Louise, and the topic immediately turned back to horror movies: "The first Scream summed up the bad rules of a series of horror movies, but in the end , are still following these old paths." Craven agreed: "Today, it is difficult for American horror films to innovate. The Scream series is also old wine in new bottles, except that the killing method is more unexpected and the identity of the murderer is more special. The reason for the murder is even more outrageous..." Courteney continued: "Some Eastern horror elements are good, and DreamWorks adapted a Japanese horror film." Craven said, "The response is average, the culture is different, and the market acceptance is different. ." Louise said from the perspective of an investor: "There is still an audience for traditional plasma films, and in the past two years, such films have become popular." Martin also joined in: "The idea of "The God of Death" is good, but the sequel The work has become stereotyped." Louise said: "It is difficult to transform a new horror film model, and investors will have a hard time with this." Craven fully agreed: "No one is willing to invest, no matter how good the idea is It's just creativity, production companies are conservative and just want to continue the successful model, but innovation means huge unknown risks." Martin said: "So, Freddy and Jason made one movie after another." Seeing Martin and Louise join in the conversation, Kate spoke less.
Louise added: "I also filmed a Freddy vs. Jason movie last year. In fact, I think the monsters from different movies look very interesting together." Craven is the screenwriter and producer of that film. : "It can be considered an appropriate innovation among conservatives." Martin continued his words: "What about integrating more horror monsters into one movie? For example, giant pythons, unicorns, tooth fairies, murderers, giant bats, Ghosts, zombies, witches, werewolves, etc., find a suitable story and idea, stuff them into a movie, and engage in a mass killing. Will horror movie fans be hooked?" Craven thought in his mind. Li imagined: "It's a bit messy, I can't imagine it now."
"This is just my humble opinion." Martin looked at Louise: "How about I create a scary monster theme for next week's costume party? In the dark night, all kinds of scary monsters wander around, it's exciting just thinking about it." Yisi said: "You make up your mind." Kate sent an assist: "It sounds very interesting, can I participate?" Martin said: "Of course, it's my honor." He took the opportunity to send out invitations: "David, Wes, Ke Teni, if you are interested, you can come too." Louise said with a smile: "He always likes to brag that he is the king of parties and loves to come up with fancy new tricks. You can judge." David and Courtney The couple asked about the time and only said that they would attend if they had time.
Craven loved parties. He had not attended many parties in the past two years, mainly because he lacked enough fresh excitement. Hearing Martin's words, he also became interested and said seriously: "You bring out a bunch of scary monsters, so I can take a look at them." The effect of being together." Who is Martin? His words immediately became lofty: "I have also participated in the shooting and production of horror films, and we happened to be engaged in a special horror film theme seminar." Craven must maintain his style in front of others: " This topic is of great research value." Louise took out her and Martin's business cards, exchanged them with Craven, agreed on a time, and said to everyone: "I will send a formal invitation letter next Monday." Several people The conversation was very pleasant, and the conversation lasted for some time before breaking up.
After a while, Louise said goodbye to Joanna on the pretext of something going on at home. Martin and her came to the parking place, but instead of getting into the Bentley, they called Bruce.
When the Volkswagen came over, Martin asked: "I'm going to rent the villa in Malibu where I last filmed "Entourage". I'll pay for it myself, but I don't have professional staff here. Can you help me again?" Louise reminded: "The debt you owe me is increasing." Martin simply said: "Pay with your flesh." Louise opened the door of the Volkswagen, pushed Martin into the car, and said to the driver's seat: "Boss, throw this piece of shit away." Go to the sea in Malibu, and I'll pay you the bill later." Bruce turned around and smiled: "Don't worry, civilized people do things." Martin got in the car, took out a small notebook, and handed it to Louise: "Can we pay off the debt? Louise opened it and took a look, smiling with satisfaction: "Old Bu, save his life for now." The Volkswagen door closed and roared away.
Louise got in the car and called her assistant: "Nikki, rent a villa in Malibu as soon as possible." Bruce drove out of Beverly Hills and drove northeast along the highway and asked, "This time The investment will be high, are you sure you can make it back?"
"Investing now is for higher income in the future." Martin took out his mobile phone and called Jenna Jameson.
According to Louise's description, Wes Craven likes group parties rather than pure horror masquerades.
Even if a Hollywood modeling agency is willing to take it on, the fees are still very high. Martin called Jenna Jameson in the afternoon and confirmed that the party would go ahead. Of course, he had to find a professional: "Sorry, Jenna, for making you wait so late. Boo and I are on our way to the San Fernando Valley. There are a lot of cars, so it will probably take about an hour to get there.”
