At the Four Seasons Hotel, Martin and Bruce came to the coffee shop, found a booth, and waited for Vincent and Sophia to come over.
Bruce wondered: "How can you, a rotten person, be afraid of Sophia? It makes no sense."
"Is there shit in your head?" Martin reminded: "Sofia is my financial sponsor. I can't even curry favor with her. Do I dare to offend her? Since I can't offend her, with her behavior, how can I not be afraid?"
Bruce felt personal pain: "That makes sense."
Martin asked tentatively: "Old Bu, what about you?"
Bruce wanted to lift up his clothes and act civilized again.
Martin quickly said: "I have no other intention, I am just helping you find the crux and get rid of the psychological shadow."
Bruce seemed to be recalling a distant event: "Sophia saved me."
"I understand." Martin began to answer: "You were originally a pair of male and female thieves. Sofia saved you, but chose Vincent's father. In order to protect your loved one, you joined Vincent's family. Sofia's old relationship is unforgettable. After getting you drunk..."
Bruce glared at Martin: "Shut up! Believe it or not, I will give you to Sophia!"
Martin could tell that there must be a bloody story with thousands of twists and turns, but it was a pity that Old Boo refused to tell it.
On the upper floor of the hotel, Sofia walked out of the suite wearing sportswear. Although the clothes were loose enough, they were still tight on her body, highlighting her huge body.
The investment was a huge success and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Unfortunately, the collagen loss is serious and the smile is a little scary.
Scott, the bag-carrying boy, followed behind with his legs crossed and his walking posture was slightly weird.
Joining Vincent, the three of them entered the elevator.
There are also three people here waiting for the elevator to go downstairs, Harvey Weinstein, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
Sofia saw Harvey at a glance and couldn't help but grin. Because there was too much fat on her face, her smile looked particularly ferocious: "What a coincidence, Fatty, we meet again."
Harvey remembered this female King Kong and said bravely: "I don't know you."
He looked around, and luckily there were two younger brothers this time.
After the last time at Warner Studios, Harvey made special inquiries and found out that the other party was not involved in Hollywood and was from Georgia, so it was not within his sphere of influence at all.
Sofia waved to the boy carrying the bag: "Kettle."
Scott immediately took out the pink kettle and handed it to Sophia. Sophia untied the straw cap, held the crown of the kettle, and drank water, her eyes constantly drifting to Harvey's fat butt.
Harvey unconsciously took a step back and leaned towards the corner, hiding his butt first.
When Matt Damon and Ben Affleck saw his appearance, they thought they had met some female boss and did not interrupt rashly.
When it comes to ordinary actresses, they dare to rush ahead and take the initiative to help Harvey solve problems.
Even Harvey is afraid of this kind of thing, let’s take a look before talking about it.
Sofia's eyes turned to Harvey's mouth again, then she looked down at the kettle, and then at Harvey's big mouth, as if she was thinking about the size.
The last time this fat man wanted to steal "The Mountain Has Eyes", Sophia remembered it clearly.
Vincent lifted his cowboy hat and moved his wrist slightly.
The atmosphere was tense, and Harvey couldn't help but say: "This is Los Angeles, and this is a society governed by the rule of law!"
Sophia sneered: "Why didn't you follow the law when you robbed "The Mountain Has Eyes"? You didn't rob me, so did you follow the law?"
Harvey's momentum is a little weak, after all, he can't suffer the immediate loss: ""The Mountain Has Eyes" won the box office championship, what else do you want?"
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck also knew that this movie, which topped last week's North American box office list, must be a low-investment, high-return film. Unexpectedly, Harvey competed for this film and lost. .
Who is this woman?
As if instinctively, without actually thinking about it, the two of them took a step away from Harvey.
It seems to be saying that we are not familiar with this fat man.
The elevator door opened at this time, and Harvey entered the elevator first. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck hesitated for a while, but still followed.
Harvey pressed the door door button repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief when the elevator door closed.
Matt Damon has a lot of things on his mind, just like when he was helping Harvey suppress the media and actresses, most of the time he encouraged Affleck to make phone calls, and rarely made calls in person.
He seemed very magnanimous: "Harvey, who is that person? He looks like a female killer, and it scared me and Ben."
Harvey said: "The rednecks from the southeast are vulgar, rude, and do not understand the rules of the civilized world. Sooner or later I will deal with them."
Affleck asked: "They took 'The Hills Have Eyes' from you?"
Damon nudged Affleck with his arm, and Affleck quickly shut up.
Harvey didn't seem to care too much: "In business, it's normal to lose and win. This time they robbed me, next time I will naturally find a way to rob them."
Damon followed his words and asked, "Are they planning to continue investing in Hollywood?"
"It's possible." The elevator opened, and Harvey came out and took out his mobile phone to make a call: "There are a few people, help me keep an eye on it, and ask around to see what projects they want to invest in Hollywood."
Entering the hotel lobby, Harvey put away his phone and said to Matt Damon: "If you want to get Martin Scorsese's new project, it's hard for me to help you. He cooperates with Warner Bros., and I have a close relationship with Warner Bros. If things get worse, speaking for you will only be counterproductive."
Damon knew very well that auditions are not the key to winning roles, and added: "When you were at Miramax, you worked with Director Scorsese twice."
Harvey thought for a moment and let them owe the favor first before saying, "I'll call Scorsese. Warner needs you to figure it out on your own."
Matt Damon has been cooperating with Warner Bros. on the Ocean's series, and he doesn't think there's a big problem on Warner's side.
In the coffee shop on the first floor, Sofia saw Martin and Bruce standing up to greet them, and strode towards the booths.
She opened her arms and took the lead in hugging Martin: "Come, celebrate your success."
Even though Martin's acting skills are so excellent, his body is stiff and his face is nervous at this moment.
There are a few men who are not frightened by this situation.
Bruce, this pervert, was even worse. When he hugged Sophia to celebrate, his legs kept shaking, just like back then.
Martin shook hands with Vincent again: "Boss, congratulations."
"It's too foreign, call me Vincent!" Vincent also hugged Martin: "I made you a friend, there is nothing wrong with me."
Martin invited the two to sit down.
As for Scott, the bag-carrying boy, he consciously stood at a distance.
Sofia said: "Vincent and I have discussed that in addition to the initial investment of US$6 million, we will invest another US$4 million. In addition, all investment income generated from "The Mountain Has Eyes" will be used for the investment in "Wanted". "
Martin quickly calculated in his mind that Sophia's initial investment of 10 million U.S. dollars and the expenses he incurred including the adaptation rights were counted by Louise as an investment of 3 million U.S. dollars, which is 13 million U.S. dollars.
The other two major investors in The Mountain Has Eyes are Pacific Pictures and Gray Films, which also plan to invest all proceeds into "Wanted."
Louise has made an estimate. Based on the North American box office of 80 million US dollars and the global box office of 140 million US dollars, after the distributor Warner Bros. deducts various expenses, the three investors' full copyright income, including box office, DVD, TV, etc., will be at least There will also be more than $40 million.
It’s almost like making a Wanted movie.
Of course, what Martin looks at are the book figures and how to actually operate it. Now he doesn't ask if he doesn't understand or participate.
If something goes wrong, he can find someone to support him in many aspects, but he currently does not have this ability.
Vincent said at this time: "I hope we can win a few more box office titles."
Martin said: "It is impossible to see through the mountains. We can only wait for our next project."
Sofia suddenly said: "I sponsored a bartender competition in Georgia, and Elena is the champion."
Martin glanced at Scott. He wanted to impress two people at the same time. This was something he often did, and Sophia did it very easily.
"Thank you." was all he could say.
After confirming the investment in "Wanted", the two parties didn't chat for too long.
In the coffee shop, many people looked this way, as if they recognized Martin.
A cleaner quietly ran into the unoccupied safe passage, took out a broken cell phone, pulled out a phone call, and made a call.
"I have important information to provide." He said to the paparazzi on the other side: "Martin Davis, the young star who is very popular recently, is having a tryst with a woman in the Beverly Four Seasons Hotel."
The paparazzi over there immediately became excited: "Please pay attention, I will be there soon."
This is not the first time the cleaner has done this kind of work: "Don't forget my news source fee."
Almost at the same time, an hourly worker in the coffee shop took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to an acquaintance of the entertainment reporter.
"Martin Davis is at the Four Seasons."
"almost there!"
Coming out of the coffee shop, Martin walked towards the main entrance of the hotel.
Through the glass door, he vaguely saw the paparazzi activities, and he asked: "Old Bu, do you call me paparazzi?"
"No." Bruce understood what was going on as soon as he thought about it: "There are news informants everywhere in Los Angeles. You are famous now, so you may have been reported."
Martin went straight out the front door and now he needed exposure.
Flash lights came on one after another under the steps of the hotel, and seven or eight paparazzi were waiting for him.
Bruce drove over quickly, and when Martin stepped down the steps, the paparazzi surrounded him.
"We got news that you had a tryst with a woman in the hotel. Martin, did you betray Anne? Or did you break up with Anne?"
Martin ignored him at all, opened the door and got in the car.
A paparazzi stretched out his hand to open the door. Martin pointed at his hand, and the paparazzi could only retract his hand.
Hotel security came out at this time and the paparazzi dispersed.
Bruce drove away quickly.
The paparazzi were quite disappointed that no photos were taken of Martin leaving the hotel with the woman.
Those who retain a little bit of humanity may drive or ride a motorcycle to chase Martin's car.
I had already thrown away the human faces, so I simply turned my camera around to take pictures of the young women coming in and out of the hotel, and went back to write a short composition.
Martin discovered that the paparazzi was following him.
In the evening, he had to go to Louise's house to pay off his debt. In the end, he had no choice but to let Bruce take the paparazzi around the street. He drove Bruce's pickup truck to meet Louise.
It takes a lot of effort to pay off hundreds of millions of debts.
