When word spread around the studio that Martin was preparing to hold a press conference, Heath Ledger and CAA had no choice but to accept Martin's terms.
A formal apology was issued through the media, and both Martin and Aniston were compensated $200,000 each for emotional distress.
Heath-Ledger was released on bail after posting a bond.
On this day, the three crews filming at the Brooklyn Studio got the news and gathered in front of the office building early.
Will Smith, who had just arrived in New York, happily said to producer David Heyman: "I didn't expect to see a good show when I first came here."
The latter crossed his arms, looked at the brown-haired young man walking in the distance, and said: "Heath Ledger almost injured Martin and Aniston while taking drugs. It has been spread in the circle. It doesn't matter if he takes drugs, but Being messy on the set..."
He shook his head and said from the perspective of a producer: "I will never use such an actor."
For his own safety, Will Smith said: "I will not let him appear on my set."
The surrounding media reporters turned their cameras to take pictures of the visitor.
Christian Bale got along well with Heath Ledger on the set and couldn't help but shake his head: "The compensation has been given, so just apologize in private. Now it's a bit too much."
People have different positions and opinions. Cate Blanchett, a member of the Australian gang, turned to Martin and Aniston who came out of the office building and said: "It's very excessive!"
Not far away from the two of them, Heath Ledger's agent Kevin Howard looked quite ugly.
This incident had a great impact.
Shams' mentality is relatively good. "Brokeback Mountain" has already become a topic, and the impact is not particularly great. He will only lose one Best Actor nomination for the Olympics.
The promotion and marketing of the subsequent film will just downplay Heath Ledger.
Compared with these relevant parties, Heath Ledger himself was much more peaceful. Accompanied by Michelle Williams, he came directly to Martin and Aniston.
There were dozens of shots turned to them.
Heath Ledger bowed: "I apologize to you for what I did that day! It may be a little late and I can't undo the harm caused to you, but I sincerely apologize. Everything is my fault!"
Martin looked at him briefly. He was about 1.85 meters tall, relatively strong, and not a bit manic.
Aniston nodded slightly: "I accept your apology."
"I also accept your apology," Martin said.
Heath Ledger said: "Thank you."
Michelle Williams pulled him, and Heath Ledger smiled apologetically at the two of them and followed his fiancée back.
Martin glanced at the media reporters who were stopped by the studio security personnel and said softly: "Let's go too."
Aniston followed Martin out of here.
The media reporters dispersed one after another and went back to catch up on their stories.
On the other side, Michelle Williams warned Heath Ledger: "For the sake of your daughter, quit!"
Heath Ledger didn't know how many times he promised: "I can definitely quit!"
"Don't let this happen again." Michelle Williams felt tired.
Arriving at the studio, Martin entered his makeup trailer and continued working today.
Before the makeup artist came over, Bruce reminded Martin: "I took relevant videos with my mobile phone that day."
Martin waved his hand: "Keep it, you should still be able to use it in the future."
Bruce responded: "I'll save it later."
After putting on makeup and entering the studio, Martin threw away all these messy things and focused all his energy on work.
That day, Thomas interviewed the media on behalf of Martin and described in detail what happened that day.
More media outlets followed up with reports, and Heath Ledger published a related apology statement in the Los Angeles Times.
A few days later, at the nominees luncheon held by the Film Academy, the new Oscar nominees were announced, and Heath Ledger’s name was not among the nominees for Best Actor.
The negative impact of a drug-driving incident at a studio that almost resulted in injuries to two colleagues emerged.
This kind of thing really needs to be taken care of, and it is closely related to every actor.
In the Four Seasons Hotel, Kevin Howard watched his girlfriend Betty help him pack his luggage without any intention of moving.
Betty asked: "Should I book a flight for today?"
Kevin kept shaking his head: "Don't leave in a hurry."
Betty, who also works in the entertainment industry, said: "Heath Ledger is like this now. It's useless for you to stay in New York. You can wait until his movie is about to be released to figure out a solution. The audience is forgetful. As long as the praise is enough, If more, these negative effects will be eliminated soon.”
"I want to meet Martin Davis."
Since joining CAA, Kevin has had a smooth journey. The star is like a marionette in his hands. At this moment, he is really confused: "I want to talk to him."
Betty advised: "It's not necessary."
Kevin's phone rang with a text message alert, he looked down, stood up and went out: "I'm going out."
Betty said again: "Don't conflict with him. That person likes to fight with others, and he always uses self-defense."
Kevin was not stupid enough to start a fight with Martin. He waved his hand and left the room, went down to the business floor of the hotel, and saw Martin playing pool with his agent in the open entertainment hall in front of the business reception room.
Thomas leaned on the club and asked, "Are you sure?"
Martin knocked the red ball into the bottom bag and pointed to the reception room: "Jen and Steve are negotiating the final terms with Ali. Once the negotiations are completed, CAA will be officially notified."
As soon as Kevin came over, Thomas saw him and said hello: "I thought you went back to Los Angeles."
Martin got up after hitting the black ball.
Kevin glanced at Martin and said, "We could have been friends."
Martin was too lazy to say anything more and glanced at Thomas.
Thomas was very conscious and rushed ahead of Martin, taking the moral high ground: "Is this the way you do things at CAA? Don't distinguish between right and wrong? Are you overbearing? Michael Ovis was nothing more than that back then."
Kevin replied coldly: "You are not qualified..."
"He's not qualified, am I?" Ali's voice came from behind Kevin: "Can Ali Emmanuel talk directly to the senior partners of CAA?"
Kevin couldn't hide his surprise: "Why are you here?"
On this occasion, Ali must of course protect his clients: "If I don't come, do you plan to continue to accuse Martin? Oh, do you think this was ten years ago, when your CAA family was the dominant one? If you want to start a war, WMA will accompany you!"
Martin didn't need to say anything, the agency was already standing in front of him.
Kevin ignored Ali and just stared at his back.
Aniston and Steve came up from behind.
Kevin had a very bad feeling.
Steve looked at Aniston, who nodded slightly.
"I originally wanted to call to inform you, but Kevin is here, so I'll let you know first." Steve said proudly at this moment: "Jen and I have officially started the termination process. I will rush back to Los Angeles today to handle the relevant termination matters."
Kevin immediately looked at Ali: "You want to join the WMA?"
Aniston then greeted Martin: "Let's go have a big dinner and celebrate."
Martin put down his club and pulled Aniston away first.
Ali invited Steve: "Let's go back to Los Angeles on my private jet."
Thomas took the initiative and ran over: "And me, I want to go back to Los Angeles too."
Ali chuckled: "Go pack your luggage quickly, I won't wait for you if I'm late."
The three agents walked to the elevator almost at the same time.
Kevin couldn't hold his breath, strode to the other side, and immediately called Brian Lord to inform Brian Lord that the CAA headquarters was shaken.
This time it was not Halle Berry who was poached, but Jennifer Aniston!
We have been holding hands with each other for more than ten years. When they are together, they feel that they are nothing more than this, and they are even vaguely bored.
Suddenly lost, only to discover the preciousness of the other person.
In the restaurant, Aniston specially ordered a bottle of champagne and asked the waiter to pour it.
"I don't know why, but I feel relaxed and a little bit disappointed." Aniston picked up the cup and suddenly smiled: "But it's worth celebrating!"
Martin clinked glasses with her: "Cheers, Jane!"
The two of them drank the cup and laughed at the same time.
Aniston took out her cell phone, turned it off directly, and said, "I hope that in a few years, we can still sit together and toast together."
From the sadness and anger after the divorce to the relaxation and joy now, Aniston's mentality has completely changed. The woman in her thirties has become more practical, no longer values love and marriage so much, and enjoys the crotch more.
She is rich, famous and powerful, so why tie herself up by getting married again?
Aren’t the strong and powerful little puppies delicious?
Especially the one in front of me, she is warm when she should be warm, domineering when she should be domineering, and hard when she should be hard.
Martin understood Aniston's words and took the initiative to cater to her: "I hope it will be the same in many years."
After dinner, they held hands and went back to the room together.
For Martin, there is both the bonus of Rachel and the effect of the rich woman.
Who doesn’t like a rich woman like Aniston who has good looks, figure and temperament?
…………
Long Island, New York, a wealthy residential area.
A three-person reporter team from the "News of the World" drove a maintenance vehicle from a communications company and parked outside the community.
Lukaku, who was driving, reminded Hazard and Courtois: "Hurry up and change your clothes. I have found out clearly that Harvey Weinstein often invites directors and actors to come here to Villa 21 to discuss scripts and roles."
Azar changed his clothes, checked his tools, and said: "Being a reporter also requires proficiency in communication technology. I am really a talented person!"
Courtois couldn't help but be envious: "Your salary is also the highest among us!"
Azar turned on the car roof lights and looked up the telephone line diagram of the community. After looking at it for a while, he got out of the car and compared it with the actual situation. Then he pointed to the southeast: "Go there, the signal switch closest to Villa No. 21 is there."
When he got into the car, Lukaku said: "Have we created a new type of reporter?"
Courtois asked: "A journalist in jail?"
"Fuck you!" Azar said because he thought he had a clumsy mouth: "Don't talk nonsense! The newspaper has done so much, and the British side has made such a big fuss, but it has always been fine."
The car drove near the switchboard, and Lukaku said: "Phone eavesdropping alone is generally ineffective. Should we think of other methods?"
Just then, a mother and daughter passed by the maintenance truck. The girl was holding a cute stuffed toy in her hand.
Courtois thought of a way: "How about this, when the villa is occupied, we pretend to be merchants and hold a plush toy giveaway event? I remember that the company provided a candid camera device with toy eyes as cameras."
"That's a good idea."
There was no one around, and the three of them got busy, not as skillfully as reporters.
Journalists at "News of the World" are all about versatility.
I'll give it to you in the middle of the night, begging for a monthly ticket.
A sister from my family who grew up diagonally across the street from my hometown has acute leukemia. She suddenly had a fever the morning before yesterday. She went to the hospital and was found to have leukemia. Only one day later, she fell seriously ill twice yesterday. Her condition is not very good. Things may be relatively complicated these days. Many, please understand if the update time is unstable.
