In February 2006, the weather in New York began to get warmer. With the coordination of Warner Bros. and WMA, the crew got through the obstacles and could shoot outdoor scenes on the streets of New York.
The first stop was Central Park to prevent the Wollman Ice Rink from thawing.
Because of the relationship between Martin and Aniston, the crew also attracted a large number of media reporters to watch and follow the filming.
The exposure of "Never Ending" is high enough for the time being, and there is no need to actively create news anymore.
The crew's filming was carried out step by step. Apart from some complaints about road closures during filming, there were basically no other troubles.
Over the weekend, Martin took some time to go to Fifth Avenue.
When he came to Tiffany's, after a brief look, he waved his hand: "This, and this, I want it."
Men buy things quickly!
Go straight to the goal, don't wander around, don't be long-winded.
Martin went to swipe his card, and then got a ruby and sapphire necklace. He took the valuables line and mailed them to Los Angeles and Atlanta respectively.
This is for Louise and Kelly.
Later, he bought a three-piece set of necklaces, earrings and bracelets, and also mailed them to Atlanta for Elena.
There were still people to give away. Unlike the crocodile teeth and horn sculptures, Martin did not plan to give away the same brand, and then went to Cartier and Chanel respectively.
The latter bought the necklace and gave it to Blake Lively when he was visiting Louisiana for Valentine's Day.
I bought a pink diamond bracelet from Cartier as a gift for Aniston.
As for Julie, Martin had forgotten about her for the time being.
Julie never looked back on her journey to the Virgin Mary. After the DVD release promotion of "Wanted" ended, she flew to Afghanistan and other places to investigate refugee issues on the spot.
Martin called her, and Jolie's next role was also closely related to mothers and children. It was called "Sweetheart", a film directed by the old cowboy Eastwood, and guaranteed to win awards during the awards season.
Julie’s future plans are very clear, it’s a modern day Madonna.
From gifts from five people, Martin wiped out more than $100,000.
When you should be generous, you must not be stingy.
This is what Leonardo told him after Martin asked him about his experience.
What others say may not be reliable, but this dedicated superstar has had dozens of formal and informal girlfriends, and not only has none of them jumped out to criticize him, they even keep saying good things about him.
Playboy's ability to achieve this level of success is unique in all of Hollywood.
After completing the mailing procedures, Martin and Bruce took a few bags and got in the car together to return to the hotel.
Bruce drove out of the parking lot and said, "You are so generous, unlike the Martin I know!"
Martin said: "The main reason is that I was ill before and never got cured."
Bruce wondered: "How come I didn't know you were sick?"
Martin simply explained: "I am poor! I only have two to three hundred thousand dollars. Who dares to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy gifts for women? I am not a romantic person."
"That's right." Bruce began to think it made sense. The car drove past an intersection and thought about it: "No, something is wrong!"
He broke through the fog and revealed the essence: "Heath Ledger paid for it for you! He paid you US$200,000!"
Martin retorted: "Isn't the spiritual supplement he gave me my money? What I swiped is not my money?"
Bruce couldn't argue.
Martin asked: "What gift did you give the Kardashians?"
Bruce said deliberately: "Fang pendant and horn carving, clown type."
Martin stuck his middle finger directly in front of his face.
Bruce told the truth: "Kim and Khloe each have one designer bag." He is a bad person and has many ideas: "I asked Kim if everyone in her family should give one as a gift? Kim said this time period is not appropriate. "
Martin finally understood: "No wonder I sometimes appear perverted. It turns out you have influenced me unknowingly!"
Bruce disdainfully said: "It's obviously you who influenced me!"
The two bad people discussed bad things and returned to the hotel.
Martin entered the suite and found that Aniston had returned from visiting friends.
She changed into home clothes and came out of the bedroom, holding a gift box in her hand.
Then, seeing the Cartier handbag in Martin's hand, he couldn't help but laugh: "Do we have such a tacit understanding?"
Martin teased her: "It's not a gift for you."
"Yes, you have a girlfriend." Regardless of what Martin said, Aniston came over and grabbed Martin's left hand, took off the watch from his wrist, and placed it on the sofa next to her.
Martin asked: "A Valentine's Day gift for me?"
Aniston opened the gift box: "I have a little lover who pays me hundreds of millions every day. Valentine's Day is coming soon, so I have to give my little lover something in return."
Martin pulled at his sleeve.
Aniston took out a Patek Philippe men's watch and put it into Martin's hand: "Take a look first and see if you like it."
Martin discovered that there were words on the back of the watch case. Turning it over, he saw that it was indeed engraved with a line of cursive English - Martin, Jennifer will always remember you.
Aniston took the watch, put it on Martin, and said at the same time: "Don't be too moved. We are just lovers, not boyfriend and girlfriend, and we can't get married."
Martin was helpless: "Can't you just let me fantasize for a few more seconds about marrying a billionaire woman named Aniston, and from now on I don't have to work hard, and I can lie down every day."
Aniston put on her watch, like the most considerate big sister, and arranged her sleeves for Martin: "If you lie down flat, there will be one less billionaire in the world."
"I'll lend you my blessing." Martin opened Cartier's gift box, took out a bracelet set with pink diamonds, and put it on Aniston.
The little puppy has a heart, and Aniston was also happy and said: "Actually, the gift you gave me last time was very good." She asked curiously: "Who is Lily Carter?"
Martin replied: "I have a sister in Atlanta. She has a very good sculpting talent. She is planning to apply for the California Institute of the Arts this year."
"The sculpture department there is pretty good." A woman in her thirties really needs to be considerate and consider all aspects of a man. Aniston was having a heated fight with Martin and asked proactively: "Do you need me to help you write it?" A letter of recommendation? I have a good relationship with Vice President Delena of CalArts."
Martin quickly responded: "Of course! Jane, you are the best lover in the world."
Although your neighbor Mr. Jones will provide letters of recommendation, a few letters of recommendation from celebrities and celebrities is not a bad thing.
Aniston said: "The main thing is that Lily Carter's sculpting is good and very easy to use."
Martin had seen how Louise and Kelly used his statues and understood instantly.
"Want to see it?" Aniston opened a suitcase and took out the clown carving.
Without saying a word, Martin pulled her into the bedroom.
Anyone who knows something about Hollywood wouldn't want to watch a movie starring Aniston live?
On the eve of Valentine's Day, the crew took a special holiday, and dozens of people dispersed in a hurry.
Even Robert De Niro, a good guy, has to rush home to create the seventh gold-eating beast.
Martin first went to Atlanta, and then flew from Atlanta to Louisiana. He spent three consecutive days running and exploring. When he returned to New York, he slept for more than ten hours before returning to a state of full energy.
While giving out gifts, Martin also received four brand-name watches.
He also couldn't understand why women liked giving watches as gifts.
Martin specially marked the watch box to indicate who gave it to him, so as to avoid the trouble of wearing it wrongly.
You can't overturn it just because of such a trivial matter.
A few days after the crew restarted filming, Aniston finished filming all her scenes and returned to Los Angeles to deal with the termination of her contract with CAA.
Thomas came to New York again, bringing relevant release plans from WMA and Warner Bros.
Through his connections, Ari-Emmanuel saw some of the samples of Martin's role in "The Departed" and determined that the role was much higher than the normal standards for the awards season, so he immediately asked his staff to start preparing for the award season.
"The North American awards season, in the early 1990s, still started in December."
In the suite, Thomas explained the specific situation in detail: "But starting from the mid-1990s, the traditional one is no longer easy to use. To be precise, the current awards season starts from the Toronto Film Festival, and there are even some Films have been competing for awards since the Cannes Film Festival in May, but the European film festivals have little impact on the Oscars, so don’t worry about them, they can basically be ignored.”
Martin has heard Louise analyze awards season before.
Thomas continued: "Warner Bros. and Scorsese agree that the Toronto Film Festival is a perfect fit for the world premiere of "The Departed." Starting from the Toronto Film Festival, WMA will invest resources, mobilize connections, and build momentum for you."
"Be specific," Martin asked practically.
Thomas said: "After Ali handles Aniston's signing, he will personally discuss it with Warner Bros. and the crew, so that an appropriate part of the crew's publicity and marketing expenses can be invested in you."
He actually knew very well that if Aniston did not sign a contract with the company, the company would not make any actual investment. This was an exchange of interests: "In addition, in addition to media and network resources, the company will also allocate US$1 million in funds for lobbying. PR.”
Martin knows that funding is the key to the operation of the Oscars, and said: "Do I need to raise part of the expenses?"
Thomas told the truth: "Parties, lobbying, advertising, and gift-giving all require money. If you don't invest money in the Oscars, you will not gain anything. The Oscars essentially have little to do with art, but a fame and fortune game."
Martin was prepared and had a plan: "I talked to Coca-Cola about the Oscars, and they said that as long as the endorsement effect is good, they can sponsor me to win the award."
Thomas is not surprised, because when other celebrities compete for awards, the brands they endorse will also make efforts.
He, the agent, took the initiative and said, "I'll go communicate with Coca-Cola Company."
Martin nodded: "Then leave it to you."
Thomas added: "Warner Bros. has confirmed the schedule for 'Never End' and it will be released early next year."
He said another key thing: "I'm not sure what Leonardo thinks about the next awards season. You'd better talk to him. It's not easy for you to have a good relationship with him. Don't make a fuss over this kind of thing." contradiction."
Martin said: "The crew is about to finish filming, and I will go back to Los Angeles to find Leo."
Hey, I left last night and it was less than four days since I fell ill.
