In the messy textile factory, Martin held guns in both hands and fought against the assassins of the League of Assassins. Every time the M9 in his hand rang out, a killer on the opposite side was shot and fell to the ground.
Director Leterrier sat on a slide car, and the director of photography controlled a camera respectively to capture panoramic and close-up images.
He designed a long take specifically for this scene.
All the props and looms were damaged in the gunfight, and a killer fell to the ground gushing blood.
The film cannot escape the R rating, so the scale is naturally relatively large.
Leterrier, a Frenchman, even suggested letting Martin show off his bird, but Martin sternly refused.
After the shooting of this long shot was completed, the studio was in a mess. Most of the props and scenery could be sent directly to the garbage dump, and there was no way to check the accounts.
Martin doesn't care how much the crew actually spent, as his part will be guaranteed.
"Stop! The last shot has passed!" Director Leterrier stood on the chair on the slide and shouted loudly: "I declare that all the filming of "Wanted" has ended here!"
The crew was in jubilation, with latte art and colorful films exploding and falling.
Then start dividing the spoils.
Most people will get a souvenir. For example, Martin got the two prop M9 pistols he used in the film.
Producers Louise Meyer and Kelly Gray entered the studio together at this time, and their assistants worked together to bring a large suitcase.
Louise clapped her palms vigorously to attract attention, and then said: "In the past two months, everyone has worked hard and cooperated with each other. It has been very hard. I want to say thank you and prepare a special gift for you on behalf of the crew. souvenir."
Assistant Nikki opened the suitcase and revealed a small gift box inside.
Martin sighed secretly.
Bruce whispered: "Would you like to call Australia again?"
Martin whispered back: "We'll talk about it later."
Louise personally delivered the gift boxes to everyone on the crew.
Someone couldn't wait to open it and found a fang pendant in the gift box, with Martin's name engraved on it.
"It doesn't look like a coyote tooth," asked Morgan-Freeman.
Louise said: "When Martin was filming "House of Wax" in Australia, he hunted more than a dozen crocodiles that were more than six meters long."
She also smiled at Martin: "Don't worry, everyone, the hunting is legal and the items are all legal. This is actually Martin's heartfelt wish, I will deliver it on his behalf."
No one doubts these words, and no one doubts that Martin can hunt down a six-meter-long crocodile. They have all seen how ferocious Martin is. He shot the heads of gangsters armed with automatic rifles with Coke.
Martin thought to himself, no matter how hard I brag, it will only be about the size of a crocodile. In Louise's mouth, one crocodile turned into a dozen.
All the crocodile tooth pendants were distributed to the crew.
Most people think it is good. After all, the gift given by Martin will make Martin a superstar in the future, and it is also an extremely special souvenir.
Louise and Kelly then left, with the former having to catch a flight back to Los Angeles.
Martin invited director Leterrier, action director Chad and others to attend Elena's housewarming ceremony.
Back at the hotel, Kelly happened to be back from the airport and entered Martin's room together.
Martin asked her: "Sent away?"
Kelly took a bottle of liqueur and poured a glass for each of them: "That slut who only knows how to ask is finally gone."
Martin also breathed a sigh of relief. He finally didn't have to fight on wheels and could finally take a vacation again.
Kelly told Martin a new story: "Coca-Cola wanted to place an ad in the wanted poster, and I said yes on behalf of the show."
Martin doesn't resent this: "By joining later, you are the producer and have the power to make decisions."
"I feel that this project has a high chance of success." Facing Martin, Kelly certainly would not tell him what Congressman Erica said, but changed her words: "I will continue to support you, and there will be good projects in the future. , call me at any time, with my support, you can strive for opportunities in Hollywood."
Martin pulled her over and sat down: "I'm so touched! How do you want me to thank you?"
Kelly raised her eyebrows: "That slut is gone, you can figure it out."
Facing the female financial sponsor, Martin is sincere with his hands, his heart and his words, and his stick is even more sincere.
The reaction is in action, that is, the hand moves, the mouth moves, and the rod also moves.
Full of absolute sincerity, the female sponsor sang with satisfaction.
At the same time, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" held its huge world premiere in Los Angeles.
Because of the bloody gossip incident, this film has attracted much attention.
It took in nearly $55 million at the box office during its opening weekend in North America.
For an original film that is not an adaptation or sequel, it is a very good commercial result.
Under the guidance of Teacher Martin, classmate Julie successfully made a turnaround, swept away the decline in recent years, and successfully became popular.
More importantly, the motherly character of the prodigal daughter has been recognized by mainstream public opinion.
The box office of the film was released in the first week. After obtaining the support of 20th Century Fox, Jolie gathered with officials from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. In front of countless media, she held the big one in one hand and the little one in the other and rushed to Africa and the Middle East. Visit and help orphans who lost their families due to war.
Why take children to such dangerous places? Julie patched things up early. On the one hand, she couldn't live without her children, and on the other hand, she allowed her children to understand the importance of freedom and democracy from an early age.
These are very much in line with the needs of mainstream public opinion in the United States.
A Holy Mother has already taken shape.
Correspondingly, Jolie also knows that Hollywood is her base, and film performance is still very important to her. In a series of interviews, the name of the new film "Wanted" was frequently mentioned.
She also praised Martin: "Martin's acting skills are so good that it's hard to believe that he is only 24 years old. He is more like a veteran actor in his fifties who has been acting in movies for thirty years. Moreover, he is a particularly ideal male companion. He has a gentle and humble personality and a strong body. If I had met him when I was 20 years old, I would have fallen hopelessly in love with him."
After the interview was published in the newspaper, some reporters came to see Martin.
Martin responded specifically: "The Julie I know is a truly good mother. I have not had a mother since I was a child, and the concept of mother is relatively vague, but Julie makes mother alive in my mind. A good mother is probably her." Like this."
When it comes to business bragging, of course you have to brag to the sky: "Julie has a truly compassionate heart. When she was on the set, she saw news about the war and often discussed it with me. She cared about the children who suffered from the war. Whether she can have enough to eat and drink, and whether she can receive basic education, she has the courage to do it now."
When you are a star, you have to dare to take off your pants, you have to challenge someone in the lane, and you have to be shameless when bragging.
Before leaving Atlanta, Martin did another important thing. He gathered his friends and attended the housewarming party of Elena's brother and sister.
…………
Northville Community.
The sun had not yet set when Elena came to the door to greet the guests.
Harris and Lily were responsible for greeting people in the room.
Neighbors nearby accepted Elena's invitation and came to her door with gifts.
Robert invited several members of the community committee, including Ms. Gianna, one of the leaders.
"Elena is a very good bartender." Robert's identity is no longer what it used to be. He is a partner and art director of Atlanta's largest entertainment agency. It is quite bluffing to say it.
He was responsible for receiving Gianna: "She won the Georgia Bartender Competition last year, and the cocktail paper airplane she created was widely circulated. She herself was praised as the female bartender master in North America after Louise Meyer. "
Gianna paid attention to the new member of the community and said: "It's an amazing achievement."
Robert pointed at Harris again: "The second eldest son of the Carter family has started a business since college. He is the founder of the Atlantic Astronomical Association and makes more money than me."
Gianna had never noticed Harris before and couldn't help but be impressed: "Young people dare to fight and break out, and they have a lot of hard work."
Of course, I don't take it seriously at all, as a family that has just made a fortune has insufficient foundation.
Just when I thought of this, several people came in at the door, one of whom Gianna knew, Justin, a senior executive of Coca-Cola.
The other person looked familiar, and he quickly recognized him, a celebrity from Atlanta and an American hero—Martin Davis!
Those people were busy greeting people and didn't come here for the time being.
Gianna paid attention over there. Martin Davis and Harris hugged tightly, and their relationship was obviously unusual.
She couldn't help but ask: "Are they?"
Robert doesn’t need to brag and tell the truth: “Martin and Elena are neighbors and grew up together. To be more precise, he grew up in the Carter family since he was a child.”
He added: "The shorter one is Justin, the deputy director of marketing at Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola is interested in collaborating with Elena on a new bottled cocktail drink. The person with a steady temperament is my boss, the boss of the largest entertainment agency in Atlanta. Jerome.”
Jaina smiled and said, "Would you please introduce it to me?"
Robert waved to Martin, and Martin, Justin and Jerome came over together.
After the two parties got to know each other, they both chatted politely for a few words.
When Morgan Freeman appeared to congratulate the hostess Elena, Gianna was already used to it.
This is indeed a newly rising middle class company. Strictly speaking, it is a nouveau riche, but it has a good network of interpersonal relationships and a profound foundation.
While the party was in progress, Gianna sent a formal invitation to Elena on behalf of the community committee, inviting her to attend the community foundation's fundraising dinner next week.
This represents recognition and inclusion in the community.
The housewarming party was enough for Elena to establish herself in the Northville community.
After the party, Martin stayed a little longer.
Elena asked her younger siblings to clean the house. She accompanied Martin to the small garden behind the house: "I published a newspaper to announce that I had severed ties with Emma. Your people also helped me get the custody of Lily and Hall. They You can’t threaten me with these anymore, I didn’t deal with Clayton’s house, it belongs to them.”
Too many disappointments have resulted in despair. She has made up her mind: "All four of us have changed their mobile phone numbers."
Martin nodded: "If you encounter trouble, just call me. Robert and Jerome can usually solve it. If they can't solve it, there are others."
Elena didn't refuse: "I will."
Martin then spent three more days in Atlanta before returning to Los Angeles.
