In the new week, Martin finished his vacation and started a new job.
After a long period of preliminary preparations, the crew of "The Departed" is about to enter the filming stage.
Before the crew went to New York for filming, they held a script meeting and a meeting with the main creative staff at Warner Pictures.
Ten minutes later, he came out of the bathroom, patted Allen's wrinkled face gently, and said, "My dear, you go back to sleep, I'm going to the set."
"I know." Allen let go of his hand, feeling so comfortable that he didn't want to get up at all: "For the sake of your outstanding performance last night, I would like to remind you and your boss that it is not easy to get along with a big crew, especially in a situation like yours. The direct competitors from the audition are still on the set.”
Mene asked: "Do you have any suggestions?"
Allen did not answer, but said: "I'll wait for you here and come back in the evening."
Uncle Mene was heartbroken, but after recovering during the day, the night would be so sweet that she begged for mercy: "I'll be there on time at seven o'clock in the evening."
Allen said unhurriedly: "Scorsese only has the Oscar for Best Director in his eyes now. Anyone who hinders him from winning the award will become his enemy, so on the set, no matter what happens, don't interfere." Shoot and work.”
She stretched out and said, "Besides Scorsese, the one with the biggest say on the set is Leonardo. He recommended your boss on the set to have a good relationship with Leonardo in private. It won't do you any harm." .”
Mene nodded and said, "See you tonight."
After leaving the hotel, he drove to the Warner Studios building, waited in the lobby for a while, and met Martin and Bruce.
"Boss." Menei took the initiative to find him.
Martin greeted him: "Let's go up together."
Mene told Martin what Allen said as he walked.
Martin patted Mene on the shoulder: "We are kind to others and strive to be good people everywhere, but good people are not wimps, but when bad people do bad things, they should beat the bad people down hard."
Mene said: "Boss, I will do whatever you say."
Martin and Mene entered the crew conference room together. There were six or seven people sitting at the long conference table.
The conference room was very messy, with a lot of things thrown on the floor and table.
There is a mini doll lying at the door, with half of a black cylinder exposed in key places. On the ground nearby is a small ball tied with a belt, and further forward there is a black flowering whip that looks like a whisk.
Looking further inside, there are at least a dozen kinds of sex toys.
This made Martin subconsciously suspect that he was in the wrong place. It was not Scorsese's crew but Jenna's crew.
Martin's eyes quickly shifted from these to the person sitting at the head of the left side of the conference table.
Just looking at his appearance, this guy looks like a born villain.
Jack Nicholson!
From the looks in other people's eyes, Martin guessed that these toys were related to Nicholson.
He stepped over the mini-doll and came to the right side of the conference table.
According to the default rules of the crew, the first seat must belong to Leonardo.
Martin will either sit second or sit where Jack Nicholson currently is.
But he found that the second chair had a cushion on it, a very common kind.
Some people like to put softer cushions on their office chairs or meeting chairs.
Martin glanced and saw that there were no other chairs.
He did not hesitate to give up the second chair, which represented the status of the crew, and took the third seat.
Mene sat on the other side of him.
Jack Nicholson turned to look at Martin, with a split smile at both corners of his mouth, just like the evil clown he played.
Martin also smiled at him, but said nothing.
There was no intersection between the two in the past.
In the next few minutes, other crew members came in one after another. Most people were a little surprised when they saw the sex toys on the floor. Among them, the eyes of the veterans naturally fell on Jack Nicholson.
This is obviously not the first time Jack Nicholson has done this.
Leonardo came in at this time and couldn't help laughing when he saw the mini doll: "Are you giving away free gifts?"
Martin greeted him: "Hi, Leo."
Leonardo nodded at him and said directly: "You are very powerful. You make Kate so happy. Be careful when Sam comes to fight with you."
Martin knew he was talking about Sam Mendes and couldn't help laughing: "Kate and I are pure friends."
Matt Damon came in from the door at this time, looked at the seats, saw that the second seat next to Leonardo was empty, and sat on it without any politeness.
As soon as he sat in the middle, Martin and Leonardo lost interest in chatting.
Matt Damon greeted Leonardo, turned around and extended his right hand to Martin: "You did something amazing."
Whether this was talking about the Burbank High School incident or something else, Martin didn't bother to guess. He shook hands with Damon and the all-purpose words immediately jumped out: "I'm your fan, a super fan, Bourne is so cool."
An honest person can't be like Damon. Damon followed Martin's words and said: "You, a movie fan, are beyond the stars you like."
Martin hit back: "When fans like a star to the deepest extent, some things will happen naturally."
Damon smiled, his smile was just like his appearance, he was extraordinarily honest.
Director Scorsese came in last, looked at the special supplies all over the floor, and said, "Jack, you're doing this again!"
Nicholson smiled with an evil feeling: "Just having a meeting is so boring, add some fun."
Scorsese, who has known her for almost thirty years, didn’t care much. He pulled out a chair and sat down, saying, “The script reading will begin.”
Everyone took out the script and read it carefully.
The assistant director turned on the slide projector, and Scorsese explained to everyone the complex relationship between the plot and the characters based on his own homework.
When Scorsese finished his explanation and picked up the kettle to drink water, Nicholson suddenly took out a small remote control from his pants pocket and pressed it.
puff--
The fart sound spread throughout the conference room, loud and long.
The sound was right next to Martin and Leonardo. They heard it most clearly, so they turned their heads at the same time and looked at Matt Damon in the middle.
Everyone's eyes immediately followed Martin and Leonardo and looked towards Matt Damon.
After the fart sound was gone, Matt Damon was very innocent: "It wasn't me."
Nicholson quietly pressed the remote again.
puff--
A loud and long fart sound came from under Matt Damon's butt.
Everyone had strange looks on their faces.
Leonardo unconsciously moved back, as far away from Damon as possible.
Matt Damon stood up suddenly, grabbed the cushions on the chair, and asked loudly: "Who is it? Who did it!"
Several people peeked at Jack Nicholson.
Martin smiled at Nicholson, who would normally be sitting in Matt Damon's chair.
Unexpectedly, Nicholson took out the remote control, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "What I do, this kind of thing will be boring and boring, I always have to have some fun."
He looked at Matt Damon: "It's a little prank, you won't argue with an old man, right?"
Matt Damon threw the mat on the conference table.
Nicholson didn't wait for Matt Damon to get angry and said to Martin: "Originally, I wanted to make a joke with Los Angeles... no, the American hero, but I didn't expect that the hero didn't sit in that seat and chose another one. "
Matt Damon turned to look at Martin. Seeing Martin's face full of surprise and innocence, he could only sit back in his chair.
Mene wanted to move, but Martin quietly pulled him back, turned his eyes to Nicholson, smiled and nodded at him.
Nicholson didn't care, he had done too many similar things.
Scorsese finished drinking the water at this time and said: "Jack, your pranks are over here. Don't appear on the set again."
Nicholson said, "I promise!"
If Martin realizes something, Scorsese's relationship with that old bastard is obviously unusual.
The script reading went smoothly afterwards, and everyone seemed to have forgotten about it.
When the meeting ended and Scorsese left, Matt Damon immediately got up and walked out.
Martin ignored the others and came to Leonardo: "Let's go out for a drink someday?"
Leonardo said another thing: "I heard from Kate that you organized a very good theme party that even conquered that picky old man Wes Craven."
Martin nodded: "That's the case."
Leonardo lowered his voice: "New York is a gathering place for supermodels. I plan to contact a few and rent a yacht or a mansion to have a party. Can you help me plan it? These parties in the industry are boring. "
Two plans automatically came to Martin's mind, one of which was Leonardo's favorite water gun party.
But then I thought about it, this guy liked it, and he must have played it a lot in private.
He asked: "What level of model?"
Speaking of supermodels, Leonardo is quite confident: "As long as I send out invitations to Victoria's Secret Angels, there will definitely be people willing to come."
Martin asked again: "Are they willing to cooperate?"
Leonardo is not an ordinary conceited person in this regard: "Of course."
Martin responded: "I will think about it carefully during this period of time."
Suddenly, a big head stuck out. Jack Nicholson, a guy who didn't play by the rules, lay on the conference table and stretched out his head like a turtle: "You two bastards, count me in." , otherwise I’ll call and report you!”
Martin looked at this old man who looked like a villain, but couldn't see through him at all.
Nicholson snorted coldly: "I just live casually and do whatever I want. Unlike you, who put a mask on my face every day."
I forgot which Hollywood star was responsible for the fart pad. I remember there was such a gossip.
