After receiving a call from his agent, Martin left the director's office and found Thomas in the lobby.
??The two came out of the studio and chatted while walking along the sidewalk of the studio.
??Thomas talked about the outcome of the meeting and roughly described the proposals of the other two agents: "Eliza's side is not necessary. The crew will not push it. What about Paris?"
??"It's not necessary." Martin said simply: "Her reputation is too bad now, and it will affect me. If she doesn't have the reputation, she will smell bad."
??Thomas had a similar view: "I'll call Steve later."
??Martin warned: "As for Eliza, I broke up with her peacefully. If there are any promotional activities, you should communicate with her agent in advance. I don't want to have any conflicts with her."
??Thomas wrote it down and reminded him: "The second salary of US$100,000 for the Jeans crew has arrived in the company's account and will be sent to you soon."
??The two films "Jeans and The Mountain Has Eyes" can bring Martin a total of US$850,000 in salary, 10% of which belongs to the brokerage company.
??With money, Martin felt his back hardened: "You get a lot of commission, right? Have a party someday to celebrate?"
??Ten percent was the brokerage company's commission, and Thomas didn't get that much. But including the wax museum, he earned more than $50,000 from the three films, so he decided to be generous: "Wait a little longer, I'll wait until I get all the money from the film." Come down here and I’ll throw a big party to celebrate.”
??More than just celebrating, Thomas also wanted to show his strength and connect emotionally with his superiors. He asked Martin: "Tell me what specific requirements you have, you're welcome."
??"Then I'm not welcome." Martin said deliberately: "Dozens of young and beautiful female models can't be missing, right? Swimsuits or pajamas are a must, and then we can come up with some new tricks..."
??Thomas quickly shouted to stop: "Wait a minute, for such a party, I will go to at least half of the commission."
??Martin once again put on a considerate attitude: "Forget it, it's okay to invite a few more beauties, right?"
??Thomas breathed a sigh of relief and felt more and more that Martin could get along with him: "There are a lot of young actors in the company."
??Martin had a bad idea: "You can sell them tickets. An invitation to the famous agent Thomas's party costs $50 a piece. It's a rare opportunity."
??Thomas said: "If I were a star, I could sell it for $100 a copy."
??The two walked around, and Martin called Louise. He would not go to her place that night and was going to meet up with Zomi Sirla.
??Thomas specifically warned: "You don't have the capital to be high-profile yet. Don't tell people casually about your remuneration, especially corporate clients and people you can come into contact with. Most people will not congratulate you, let alone praise you, they will only give you You put up barriers that keep you on the same level as them.”
??Martin has experienced too many similar things in his previous life, and said: "I understand that it is hard to see the people around you suffer, but it is even more difficult to see the people around you live a better life than yourself."
"That's the mentality," Thomas said.
??……
??Martin returned to the Wax Museum Studio, met up with Zomi who was off work, and went to Sunset Boulevard together. He had dinner with Wes Craven and Alexander Aja at a Brazilian barbecue restaurant, and then went to the newly opened luxurious Nightclub.
??Wes Craven said: "Martin will treat you to dinner, and I will treat you here."
??The old man bought four tickets worth 300 US dollars each: "Let's go, I want the front row seat."
??Martin is relatively familiar with this industry and asked: "Are the tickets so expensive?"
??Even in Los Angeles, tickets can cost $100, which is considered a very high-end venue.
??The four people walked in. Because they arrived earlier, there were not many people in the nightclub. They found a seat near the middle of the stage and sat down.
??Ajia asked a similar question to Martin: "Are there female stars coming to perform tonight? Although Striptease is a bad movie, Demi Moore is really good."
??Martin said: "Too old, unless she is willing to pay."
"You are so shameless." Craven laughed: "Do you know how much Columbia Pictures paid Demi Moore to star in the movie? $12 million!"
??Zomi looks honest and introverted, but in fact she is a slut: "Actually, you can do it without spending money. I heard a rumor that Demi Moore got a new boyfriend after her divorce last year. It is said that they like threesomes. "
??Martin deliberately persuaded: "Zomi, I really recommend that you don't try it, you will be in danger."
??Craven and Ajia both laughed.
??Zomi said very seriously: "I often feel out of tune with you. Now I am sure it is me, because I am not a pervert."
??Martin waved to the waiter, ordered a drink, and returned to the topic: "Wes, you haven't said why yet?"
??Craven said: "Tonight is Dita Von Teese's performance."
??Martin has heard this name: "America's number one stripper?"
??"That's her," Craven said.
??Zomi was confused: "I haven't seen any posters or publicity."
?? Craven said: "Those who can get the news will naturally know that she is coming. There is no need for posters."
??The four people chatted for a while, and more people entered the venue, including many Hollywood celebrities.
??Martin saw Marilyn Manson, Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt, among others.
??The show soon began, with Dita Vontes clearly combining classical dance, burlesque and striptease.
??It does look different.
??After the performance, the four of them went backstage using Craven to scan their faces, wanting to try asking someone out.
??When Zomi, this slutty guy, went to ask for his contact information, he almost got into a fight with Marilyn Manson who was guarding the locker room.
??Marilyn Manson is in a relationship with that stripper.
??The four of them were frustrated and had no choice but to change their goals and go to the VIP room on the second floor to enjoy the lap dance.
??…………
??In the Los Angeles shopping plaza, Evan, a reporter from a gossip tabloid, was randomly interviewing passers-by, targeting young people under the age of 25.
??Evan stopped a girl, introduced himself quickly, gave a pen as a small gift, and asked: "Do you know Paris Hilton? What do you think of her?"
??The girl nodded: "Of course I know, a spoiled bad girl, a nuisance."
??Evan asked again: "If she was killed in a movie, would you watch it?"
??"Really?" the girl asked with surprise: "What movie? I know, the horror movie she acted in, was it about torture and murder? I like to watch her being tortured and killed!"
??Evan said: "You will know when you go and see it."
??The girl left quickly, and Evan stopped the next target.
??For half a morning, he randomly asked more than 20 young people. They all knew Paris Hilton and everyone hated Paris Hilton. Sixty of them expressed their opinions on the movie that killed Paris's character. interested in.
"Because she was rich, she was originally going to jail but was sentenced to 45 days in prison for a three-year crime. The media reported that she wrote a letter to Schwarzenegger and she had done so many bad things. But she was not punished as she should have been. I hope to see her brutally tortured and killed in the movie! Because that’s not possible in reality.”
??"Look at the reports in the media. That Bichi was in jail and had better housing and food than us. She acted in a horror movie and was killed in the horror movie? This is a good idea, I want to go and see it .”
??Similar random investigations have occurred on the streets of Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta and Chicago.
??On the Internet, there are also several websites that conduct sample voting.
??The relevant summary results were quickly received by the crew.
??Parker immediately reported to Susan Levin: "Random sampling survey results show that nearly 50% of young people like to see Paris Hilton's character killed in the movie, and they also hope to be tortured."
??Susan said: "The sampling ratio is already very high."
??Parker agreed: "For an R-rated horror film, it is indeed not low."
??Susan made a decision: "Launch as planned."
??Parker went to contact the media and prepared to push advertising soft articles and posters for "Horror House of Wax Museum".
??Susan called Martin and wanted to talk to Kim Kardashian in person.
??Martin did not come forward. After contacting Bruce, Bruce took Kim Kardashian to Warner Studios and entered Susan's office.
??Subsequently, Kim Kardashian’s revelations slowed down slightly, but the contents of the revelations appeared in more media.
??With the huge investment of funds from the crew, even Warner's "Entertainment Weekly" opened a column dedicated to publishing gossip about Paris.
??The goal is to further stigmatize it.
??This is what all media are doing.
??Warner Television began planning the Kardashian interview to be broadcast when the film was about to be released.
??Kardashian only needs to focus on one thing in the next month: to regularly reveal information about Paris.
??Compared to Bruce, who is new to the entertainment industry, the professionals on the crew have better rhythm control.
??At the same time, the crew released the first trailer.
??In just one minute of content, the camera basically focuses on the characters of Eliza, Martin and Paris. Among them, Paris is being hunted down.
??The crew also released the main promotional poster.
??There are also three personal posters.
??A poster for Martin and Eliza, a poster for the wax figure and his brother.
??The two posters have the same title - Twins Showdown!
??The other one is Paris’s solo poster.
??On top is a fresh wax figure lying on the workbench.
??The flowing wax wraps around the person, but it also makes people recognize that this is Paris Hilton.
??Poster title - Abnormal demon brutally kills.
??The twin showdown caused some reaction, but Paris' poster was immediately forwarded by countless media outlets, websites and blogs.
??No way, Paris in jail is too hot.
??Don’t talk about people like Martin who have only a little bit of fame.
?? Even Eliza, whose "Neighborhood Actress" caused a wave of craze this summer, can't compare to her.
??The crew also broke the news that Paris actively teased a kangaroo during filming, which almost caused her and another black actor to be injured.
??It is too common to create and publish false news when promoting movies.
??When the popularity of the poster subsided a little, Kim Kardashian jumped out and broke the news again, saying that Paris had many secrets during the filming, such as paying men to vent.
??The personal assistant's betrayal is really scary.
??Because Martin had discussed it with Mene and his agent in advance, Kim Kardashian directly named Mene's name.
??Uncle Mene suddenly became popular.

Some people died, but not completely...
