The main cast and crew gathered together, and the champagne tower was piled as high as one person. Susan Levin stepped on the elevator to the high place, received the large bottle of champagne from Robert Downey Jr., and poured the wine down.
The audience burst into warm applause.
At this moment, the crew was in perfect harmony, with no noise at all, as if there had been no fights from preparation to filming to release.
Because the loser of the fight is not eligible to participate in the celebration party.
The waiter delivered champagne to everyone.
Susan shouted: "Cheers to success!"
Everyone, including Martin, raised their glasses to drink.
There was laughter and joy.
Martin held the wine glass and found Susan, who introduced him to the president of Silver Films, her immediate boss, Joe Silver.
This is one of the most famous producers in Hollywood, and his masterpieces include Die Hard and The Matrix trilogy.
However, he is already in his eighties, and after The Matrix, he retired from front-line work.
Joe Silver is not interested in young people like Martin. In his career of more than 50 years, he has seen too many different people.
After answering a few greetings from Martin, he left the celebration party.
Robert Downey Jr. came over at this time, put his arm around Martin's shoulders, and said with a bit of a boss's aura: "Man, your role is good, you have a bit of my style back then."
Martin clinked glasses with him and told the truth: "You have been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor. I am far behind."
Downey was short and felt uncomfortable holding Martin's shoulders for a long time. He took the initiative to let go of his hand and politely said, "Let's have a drink together someday when we are free."
"No problem." Martin could tell the difference between a sincere invitation and polite words.
He left here and found Zomi Sirla.
Completely different from the uneasiness he felt when the film first came out, Zomi is so excited now that he almost has the success of being a director written all over his face.
Martin smiled and said: "How many are you planning to find tonight?"
The two old perverts have a tacit understanding: "If you don't look for ordinary people, we will go to Avalon together after the party. Let's see who can catch a famous actress."
Martin was full of confidence: "Man, success makes you forget who you are facing. Standing across from you is the Hollywood Love Saint and the number one sportsman in Georgia. You are bound to lose."
Zomi laughed: "I now have the director's halo bonus!"
Martin couldn't help but scratch his head: "Can you be more civilized and decent? When picking up girls, you have to rely on your skills, not your profession."
Menne heard it not far away and came over to join in the fun: "How about counting me in?"
Martin sighed: "Zomi, we are destined to lose. Mene's lethality against middle-aged and elderly women is nuclear bomb level."
Zomi was in a good mood and deliberately asked Mene: "Aren't you going to win back Paris's heart?"
Menet is like a poet: "The lost love is destined to be irreversible."
Several investor representatives came over to have a drink with the three of them.
According to them, the wax museum can recoup its investment from box office alone, and the subsequent video tapes, TV broadcasts and DVDs are pure profits.
Horror films are a popular genre in offline markets such as videotapes and DVDs.
Thomas was here tonight, and he felt that he was obviously valued. Anyone on the set who talked to him would be willing to say more to him.
Even Eliza Cuthbert's agent Victor came over to reiterate the old story.
"The movie is a hit. Martin and Eliza are the male and female protagonists, and they have been in a relationship." The young star needs to stay popular the most, and Victor once again suggested: "It would be most suitable to get together again."
Thomas thought so too, but he still said the same thing: "You must promise not to force others to be vegetarians or to talk about vegetarianism before I can talk to Martin."
Victor said: "Eliza is ready to take vegetarian food and environmental protection as the direction of her social activities."
The two sides couldn't talk about it, so Thomas quietly found Martin, came to the rest area, and briefly talked about what happened just now.
Martin had already decided: "Ignore it."
Thomas reminded: "As the popularity of the film declines, your attention will also decline. You have just become famous, and there is no problem of marketing and overexposure. Before the release of Eyes Beyond the Mountain, it is very important to maintain a certain degree of exposure and topicality. Is necessary."
Martin asked: "Love is the best way, right?"
Thomas nodded: "As strong as Leonardo, he still uses this method to maintain his exposure even when he has no works."
Martin suddenly realized: "Changing girlfriends frequently has this benefit."
"You and Eliza have too different ideas. Paris is a trap. Neither of them are suitable." Thomas sincerely suggested: "Martin, you are known as the most talented person in Georgia, use all your skills, Go pick up a female star."
Martin asked: "Is the bigger the better?"
Thomas said: "Of course, if you can become an Oscar-winning actress, you will be more popular than Mene."
Martin is self-aware: "Except for Kate, no one from other A-list actresses will pay attention to me. Kate is married and is still Louise's friend, which is inappropriate."
Two well-dressed guys were discussing how to catch the attention of a female star.
Thomas thought for a while: "I'm going to ask around within the company and look at the famous actresses under other agents. Is there anyone who wants to take advantage of your current popularity to create a topic, but there is little hope."
The agent is so interested, what can Martin say: "I usually pay attention to this aspect. There are so many stars in Los Angeles, maybe one day I will encounter an opportunity."
"Look for the target, don't be afraid of embarrassment, rush forward and stalk him..." Before he could finish his words, Thomas consciously shut up and slapped his forehead: "You should teach me, not me."
After the party ended, Martin, Mene, Zomi and Bruce drove to Sunset Boulevard and came to the Avalon Bar to start the second half.
As soon as I sat down at the bar, a woman in her 40s suddenly came over.
She took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Mene: "Are you interested in having a drink with me?"
Mene glanced at the woman's Hermès bag and Patek Philippe watch, and responded: "No problem."
The two went to the booth on the second floor.
Martin praised: "He is indeed a middle-aged and elderly killer."
Bruce put down the wine glass and said: "Mene is very famous now, more famous than you and Zomi combined."
Zomi regained her confidence again: "I see, she wants to try what Paris used..."
Bruce reminded: "Aren't you two going to compete? The loser will be treated tonight, and I will be the referee."
Nothing else. He looked around and found that no one had a bigger butt than Jin.
Avalon and the Grapevine Manor opposite are popular nightclubs for Hollywood celebrities.
Many female celebrities also like to come here for a drink.
Legend has it that it was here that Sandra Bullock met Ryan Gosling, who was 16 years younger than her. In the past two years of dating, Gosling's career has grown by leaps and bounds.
Thinking of Thomas' words, Martin's eyes were all over the place. Without Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron, he could just have Halle Berry to practice his skills with.
Anyway, he is thick-skinned and does not feel ashamed if he fails.
Which young actor wouldn’t want to hug the Oscar-winning actress’ thighs?
Zomi was the first to find the target. He had just achieved a great success. His confidence soared. He winked at Martin and walked towards a booth with a wine glass in hand.
There were several women sitting there, the most conspicuous of whom was Penelope Cruz.
Martin found nothing on the first floor. He turned his eyes to the second floor and quickly stopped at the booth diagonally opposite.
There sat a young actress with bright eyes and white teeth and a sweet smile.
Martin straightened his clothes a little, got up and went up to the second floor. As he walked there, he looked around. The young Anne Hathaway was indeed beautiful as long as she didn't laugh.
How to strike up a conversation? This is not a problem for the old woman... No, it is not a problem for the most talented man in Atlanta.
Martin took the car key, hooked it in his hand and played with it. When he passed by Anne Hathaway, his fingers loosened slightly and the key was thrown out, hitting Anne Hathaway's table with a bang.
Including Annie, the three girls at the same table were startled.
Martin quickly turned around, his face full of embarrassment: "Sorry, I wasn't careful..."
When he saw Anne, he was stunned for a moment, and said with obvious surprise: "You are... you are Princess Mia!"
As if seeing fans of their idols, they were at a loss: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it."
Such a good-looking and sunny man apologized sincerely, but none of the three girls took what happened just to heart.
Annie picked up the key and handed it to Martin: "It's okay, be careful next time."
Martin took the keys and put them away, rummaging through his pockets and muttering: "Why didn't you bring a notebook? Damn it, why didn't I bring a notebook!"
He saw the tissue box on the table and pointed at it: "Your Highness, can you leave a signature for me?"
Anne Hathaway took out a tissue, signed it, and handed it to Martin.
"Thank you." Martin folded it carefully and put it away solemnly. The first step was successful and he immediately started the second step: "I'm extremely sorry for disturbing you just now. I'll buy you a drink. As an apology, please give me a chance to apologize. .”
A fan of Princess Mia, a handsome and handsome man, a man who speaks so politely and well-educated, it is difficult to refuse.
Besides, this is the apology he deserves.
The other two girls looked at Anne, who nodded slightly: "You are too polite."
Martin called the waiter, asked the three girls one by one what they wanted to drink, and then ordered four glasses of wine.
One cup was of course his own.
When the wine was served, Martin naturally pulled out the chair and sat at the table.
He raised his glass: "Thank you three for forgiving me the stupid mistake I made."
Annie took the lead, and the other two girls also raised their glasses and drank together.
Martin took the initiative to find a topic: "Mia..."
Anne Hathaway shook her head slightly: "Just call me Anne."
"I am lucky to meet Annie tonight." Martin introduced himself: "My name is Martin Davis, and I am also an actor."
"Anne Hathaway." Anne smiled and nodded.
The other two girls also introduced themselves, one named Laura and one named Sandy.
Annie was curious: "Are you an actor? You look familiar to me."
Martin duly said: "I acted in House of Wax, which was recently released."
Sandy is just a small actor: "It turns out you are a star just like Annie."
