In the afternoon, Martin's autograph signing activity continued, and the venue was changed to the South Coast Commercial Plaza.
Although he was mentally exhausted and his face and muscles were stiff, he still maintained a warm attitude and signed autographs for every fan who bought the DVD.
There are so many Hollywood starlets and it can be scary to roll up.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the signing was completed. Martin took a few newspapers and got into the car just like the previous days.
Bruce asked, "Where?"
Martin pulled out a copy of the Los Angeles Times: "Find a place to eat first. After dinner, I will ask you to wash your face. Only the softest facial cleanser can make people truly relax."
Rotten people can naturally understand what rotten people say. Bruce said: "Facial cleanser, you described it really well."
Martin said: "It's obviously facial cleanser, what I said was wrong."
Bruce couldn't argue this time.
Martin flipped through the entertainment section. There was no news from Jolie and Pitt today. The two were obviously controlling the pace.
When reading social news, he was attracted by the headlines.
A few weeks ago, the FBI's Los Angeles branch arrested three Russian-American businessmen. Just yesterday afternoon, the Los Angeles federal prosecutor formally charged the three with a series of crimes including smuggling, human trafficking, and manipulation of underground music, and applied to the court for a freeze. their property.
Martin asked: "Are many of the street girls in the old city Eastern Europeans?"
Bruce wasn't very clear either: "I heard Mene mention that they seem to be mainly Eastern European whites and Mexicans." He asked, "Do you want to sponsor them?"
"Not interested." Martin said casually, "I'm not short of female companions."
After the two had dinner, they entered the underground parking lot and changed cars. After making sure there was no tail behind them, they went to the dancer club together. Martin skillfully ordered two young dancers, and he and Lao Bu enjoyed the joy of washing their faces.
If you tip, you will be served with a new type of facial cleanser, which is refreshing and relaxing.
Bruce enjoyed one round and said: "No wonder you and Wes Craven always like to discuss work here, it really makes people's minds active."
The facial cleanser rolled by, and Martin was in high spirits: "Someday if you can't think about something, you can come here and give it a try. Your thoughts will open up instantly."
Bruce, a bad guy, suddenly remembered Khloe Kardashian. If Khloe could provide facial cleanser, his mind would definitely be super active and he might be able to write a script.
Of course it's not an ordinary movie script, but a creative video script.
While these two bad guys were enjoying their face wash, three students they'd seen during the day arrived in north Burbank.
Entering an apartment, the leader Andre stood in front of the mirror and checked the injuries on his face.
Victor and Sergey sat on the sofa, rubbing the sore parts of their bodies.
They are not thin, but they look like dwarfs in front of the basketball team.
Moreover, every time the other party was outnumbered.
Sergey touched a painful spot and gritted his teeth: "I'm going to kill those bastards Miller and Jackson!"
These two people are the captain and deputy captain of the school's high school basketball team, and they are also the ones who took the lead in bullying them.
Victor said: "Andre, didn't you break up with Judith from the cheerleading team?"
Ever since Andre caught up with Miller's ex-girlfriend, there has been a feud between the two sides.
There was originally a small group surrounding Andre and others, but something happened to their father and they were arrested by the FBI, and the small group automatically disbanded.
As rumors spread around the school that their family was engaged in smuggling and controlling Eastern European prostitutes, the three Andres were completely isolated.
From the bully to the bullied.
If graduation doesn't happen by the summer, Burbank High School may be taking some steps.
Victor was still holding on to his fantasy: "It was fine before, why are they so domineering now?"
Andre, who seemed relatively silent, said: "Because we are Slavs, because our fathers were investigated by the FBI, and our family members were arrested. They looked down on us and decided that no matter how they bullied us, no one would do it for us. Get ahead.”
Victor was helpless: "They always target us like this, how can we gain a foothold in school?"
"We are all eighteen years old." Andre gritted his teeth and said, "We will graduate from high school soon and become adults. Now we can't count on others, we can only rely on ourselves."
Sergey was hungry: "I'll go out and buy some food."
Andre patted his stomach: "Buy more and come back."
Sergey went out quickly and came back quickly, but he came back empty-handed: "The credit card is locked."
Andre knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it, and took out his cell phone to call his father's lawyer.
The lawyer told him that the court had frozen all of their family's property, and specifically warned: "You three are not involved, so stop worrying about these things. You can't do anything. Don't get yourselves involved."
Andre asked the key question: “Where are the colleges we applied to?”
The lawyer said frankly: "There is no hope."
The other two people also heard these words and didn't know what to do for a while.
Victor squatted on the ground holding his head.
Sergey paced back and forth restlessly.
Andre was the leader of the three and said, "We still have some cash, what are your plans in the future?"
Sergey couldn't help but said: "I want to kill those who bully us! Just because we are immigrants, they have always discriminated against us, even before anything happened to our family!"
Victor raised his head and looked at his two friends.
Sergey continued: "You know, since we came to Los Angeles and entered the school, those people have always treated us as beasts from Siberia. What do they call us in private? Stupid bears!"
A sudden change occurred in the family. From the bully to the bullied, he was beaten up again. It was the age of passion and impulsiveness. Even Victor said: "I drink Coke, and they laugh at me. I only deserve to drink car antifreeze." . I want to find a girlfriend, but Bitchi from the cheerleading team teases me that I should go to the zoo to find polar bears.”
Without saying anything, Andre came to the TV cabinet, dug out a disc from a pile of discs, took it out, stuffed it into the DVD player, and pressed the TV play button.
"Watch this movie first." Andre asked the two companions to sit down.
The three of them sat on a couch and watched a movie shot by Americans called "Elephant"!
Seeing that the introverted and weak male protagonist just tolerated being bullied by others, Sergey was extremely dissatisfied: "Fight back, idiot!"
Tolerance brings more bullying.
The two protagonists in the film purchase firearms over the Internet and decide to do something big.
Victor waved his fist vigorously: "Yes, that's what you should do, kill all those bastards!"
Andre remained silent, appearing mature and calm on the surface, but in fact the impulsive beast had already awakened in his body.
As the movie reaches its climax, gunshots continue to ring out, and Victor and Sergey continue to cheer.
Before the film finished, Andre suddenly turned off the TV and asked: "How did our fathers establish themselves and develop when they came here?"
Although they are not involved in their father's affairs, they know a little bit about their father's history.
Andre didn't need the two to answer: "Our future has been ruined! Our family is gone, our property is gone, and our future is gone!"
Victor and Sergey looked at the turned-off TV at the same time.
Andre said calmly: "I'm going to kill all those bastards."
Victor and Sergey looked at each other and said almost at the same time: "Count me in."
Andre took out a bunch of keys from the drawer next to him: "Remember? A fool in school lost his driver's license. I used it to rent a small warehouse and secretly hide some gadgets."
The three of them went downstairs, went to a convenience store and bought some food with cash. They drove at night to a warehouse rental company and found the warehouse rented by Andre.
The warehouse is not big, only about twenty square meters.
Andre turned on the light, closed the warehouse door, and pulled out the wooden box covered with a tarpaulin.
Sergey waited impatiently and opened the long wooden box to reveal the firearms inside.
There are everything from long guns to ARs to Glock pistols.
These people don't know how many times they have played with guns, and they can't say how good their marksmanship is, but they are familiar enough.
Victor picked up an empty magazine and pressed yellow and orange bullets into it.
Andre said: "Now that you have decided, don't regret it. If you regret it, don't blame me for being unkind."
Sergey picked up the AR without a magazine and aimed at the wall. With the weapon in his hand, he became arrogant: "Tell me how to do it."
Andre has already made up his mind: "In a few days, it will be the open day of Burbank Middle School. Not only will there be a large number of people visiting, but there will also be a basketball game between Burbank Middle School and North Hollywood Hall Middle School. Those who laugh at us will The basketball team members and Bichi from the cheerleading team will all attend."
He picked up a gun and made a shooting posture: "When the time comes, get rid of them all!"
…………
In order to capitalize on Martin's hot momentum, Warner Bros. released a personal poster of Martin in the promotion of "Summer of Jeans" and gave him the title of leading actor.
In the remade title sequence, Martin's name surpasses the other three female leads and is tied with Blake Lively.
What's even more exaggerated is that producer Brad and director Karpis even made adjustments to the post-editing. In the re-edited version, without affecting the plot, the number of scenes in which Martin appeared was nearly doubled.
He didn't have many scenes during the filming, and most of the shots were used.
The only actor in the project cast who can truly be called a star is Martin.
The crew also released posters of the male and female protagonists of Martin and Blake, in which the two look lovingly at each other.
If it weren't for Blake's age, the crew would definitely have asked the media to air the scandal between Martin and her on set.
The friendship between the four heroines has naturally become the focus of the crew's promotion.
No matter how many small groups Blake and April have established on MSN, when they appear in front of the media and the public, their sisterhood is bound to be deep.
Jeans is a youth film, and its main audience is people around the age of 18.
The focus of this wave of publicity is naturally the Burbank Middle School Open Day event that Martin and the four heroines will attend.
