At noon on Monday, the Bastard trio enjoyed a French meal at the famous Ledbury restaurant in London.
Eating French food in the UK is a British fashion that has been passed down for many years.
Nicholson ate baked snails and asked, "Martin, have you picked up any girls in London?"
"Not yet." Martin said with a face full of shame, "I have disgraced the organization, and I will pay for today's meal."
Leonardo was surprised: "You didn't even find the target?"
Martin told the truth: "I have my eye on Scarlett Johansson from The Conjuring, but she is a vegetarian and I can't afford to mess with her."
Nicholson pointed at Martin: "Don't tell others that you are following me, it's embarrassing!"
Martin was helpless: "The best British roses are all older. Zeta Jones, Beckinsale, and Rachel Weisz are all older."
Leonardo got to the heart of the matter: "Don't you like people in their 30s the most?"
"Slander!" Martin is also very specific: "I only like beautiful people with good figures."
Nicholson picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and educated the two younger brothers: "You are still young and don't understand what is the key, technology! You two idiots, use your brains, good technology is the key!"
He shook his head and stood up: "Why did I make two idiot friends? Hey..."
Martin asked: "Are you going to abandon us?"
"I'm going to go first." Nicholson packed up his personal belongings: "I'm going to visit some old friends. You don't have to wait for me tonight, and I may not come back."
Leonardo shook his head: "It must be to meet women and forget about friends."
Nicholson pretended not to hear and left directly.
Martin continued to enjoy his lunch: "Leo, did you see? This is the boss of the trio, an old bastard."
Leonardo said: "We will give gifts later."
After lunch, the two drove in the same car to Pinewood Studios.
On the way, Martin made a phone call and said, "Yes, the old bastard went to the studio and will be on the set of Mamma Mia soon."
Leonardo snorted coldly: "Needless to say, he will never do anything good."
Arriving at the parking lot outside the studio area, Martin got out of the car, opened the trunk, took out a long bag and threw it to Leonardo, and then put another bag on his back.
The two took out their sunglasses and put them on, threw their long bags behind their backs, and walked side by side towards the studio, like snipers about to set off.
At the same time, the cast of "The Prestige" is stationed.
Christian Bale ended today's scene and left the studio to take off his makeup. When he came out of the makeup trailer, he met Cate Blanchett who came to visit Hugh Jackman.
"Come in?" Bell invited standing at the door of the trailer.
Blanchett's stone-like face evoked a strange smile: "Pinewood Studios is very big, and I remember that there is a place that is particularly famous."
"I know that place. Many actors like to go there." Bell waved and led Blanchett towards the place where the battery car was parked.
Blanchett followed up automatically: "I heard that you canceled Martin Davis' audition for this crew?"
Bell got on the battery car and waited for Blanchett to sit aside. After starting the car, he said, "Heath is my friend. He has been wronged. Of course I will help if I can."
There are many people in the circle who work together to help each other, not just Martin.
Blanchett said: "Your positioning is somewhat similar to Martin Davis. The resources in this circle are limited. If you can fight for it, you must fight for it. If you can grab it, you must grab it."
Bale is also a star who has worked hard all the way, so he naturally understands these principles: "I will not hold back anything I can snatch." He laughed: "I will keep an eye on Martin. I have no way to do anything about the project he initiated. If other crew members and character, we’ll do him.”
On both sides of the road, some very old pine trees began to appear.
In the distance, a relatively sparse pine forest can be seen in the distance.
This is the famous symbol of Pinewood Studios, which is not only dotted with old pine trees, but is also a well-known wild battlefield among actors.
Hollywood crew couples and polite greetings are too common. Some people go there too many times and inevitably want to seek a different kind of excitement. The style of pine forest is inevitably close to the university forest.
Bell was relatively attentive to the impact, stopped the car farther away, and walked along the road toward the woods with Blanchett like friends walking and chatting.
A battery car drove past at lightning speed.
Blanchett looked up and saw that the two people in the car were Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep.
There are a lot of rumors about these two in Hollywood, and you don't have to ask to know what they are going to do.
Blanchett was itching unbearably and said: "Pay attention to them two, let's choose a place near them and listen to their voices..."
Bell has been in this industry for 20 years and has so much experience that he immediately understood: "It's super enjoyable to have the voices of Oscar-winning actors and actresses accompanying us."
Blanchett laughed, her laughter particularly hearty.
Elsewhere, Nicholson and Streep entered the pine forest together.
A gust of wind blew over, which was particularly refreshing.
The two continued walking inside, and Streep said: "I saw Martin a few days ago, how can you become friends with that bastard?"
"Because I'm a bastard too!" Nicholson is very self-aware: "He plays a lot of tricks and has a lot of bad ideas. He especially likes me. Ever since Marlon Brando went to see God and Warren Beatty got married, I have been I’ve never met a bad person that I can hang out with.”
Streep asked: "A lot of tricks? Better than you?"
Nicholson talked about one thing: "Martin, Leo, and I attended Heidi Klum's bachelor party. Martin's tricks made everyone so excited, even Heidi Klum. Rum took the initiative to invite him to the wedding, preparing to compete at the wedding..."
Streep thought it was outrageous: "Can't they two make a fool of themselves?"
"Who knows," Nicholson said. "Is it there yet?"
Streep pointed to the front: "Right here."
It was a big, crooked tree. The tree was still alive, but the upward part was dented, and the bark was wiped off. The exposed trunk was already coated with pulp and was as smooth as a Wall Street copper bull.
Not far away, Bell and Blanchett stopped and hid behind a tree, throwing away their clothes like the previous pair.
On the outskirts of the woods, a little blonde girl from the crew of "Atonement" wanders like a ghost.
Saoirse Ronan, with her blond hair tied into a ponytail and a digital camera hanging around her neck, used the cover of the woods to look for wild mandarin ducks among them.
In her spare time from acting, she often comes here to play as a pastime.
Moving from the inside to the outside, Saoirse suddenly heard footsteps and hurriedly hid behind a big pine tree, peeking out for a sneak peek.
Two men wearing sunglasses and carrying long bags were walking towards her.
Saoirse recognized them with just one glance.
Leonardo and Martin Davis.
Why are these two people here? Saoirse has been here for many days, so she certainly knows what this place is famous for, and it is inevitable to make associations.
Entering the edge of the woods, Leonardo glanced at the sparse pine forest and asked: "The place is huge, how can I find it?"
"No need to search carefully, we will bomb randomly." Martin took off his backpack, unzipped it, took out a steel pipe as thick as his wrist, and gave the order: "Leo, you are the loader!"
Leonardo also opened the bag, which was full of fuses with fuses.
The steel pipe in Martin's hand has two handles welded on the bottom, and a thin circle of steel pipe welded on the top, like a sight.
Leonardo asked: "Homemade? Will it explode?"
Martin boasted to the sky: "Lao Bu and I made it purely by hand. It's cheap, sturdy, durable, and irritable!"
The two of them know Nicholson well. When the old man and Meryl Streep are together, they don't play too intense games. Their relationship is more relaxed and gentle, and even if they get into trouble, it's just a shock.
Because of this, I dared to throw firecrackers to scare people when I was in New York.
"Isn't this just a self-made RPG that cuts and cuts again and again?" Leonardo said: "You have fun first, and I will fire a few more shots later."
Martin responded: "No problem." He pointed to the two kicks in the bag: "Get ready."
Leonardo took out the cigarettes and lighter he had prepared in advance from his bag, took a step back to light them, picked up a kicker, and prepared to light the fire.
Martin reminded: "Man, be careful, don't put cigarettes in or put firecrackers in your mouth."
Leonardo looked down, if this thing was stuffed in his mouth...
Click——
There was a faint sound ahead, and Martin was particularly vigilant. He heard it was the sound of a camera shutter, and thought a paparazzi had sneaked in. He immediately turned the gun's muzzle and said, "Who's in front? Come out quickly, or I'm going to fire!" "
There was no movement there.
Martin gave Leonardo a look: "Leo, prepare the cannonballs!"
"Don't, don't fire!" Cyr wasn't sure what Martin was holding, but he heard the two discussing explosive chambers and RPGs. He was a little scared to see such a thick barrel, so he hurried out: "I...I I’m just curious, come here and have a look.”
Martin remembered her, having seen her a few times in restaurants, a cast member from the set of "Atonement."
When someone came closer, he asked, "Who are you? What do you do?"
The girl's eyes rolled.
As a professional in lying, Martin could tell at a glance that she was going to lie, and pointed to her camera: "I've seen you before, don't make me go to the set to look for you."
Saoirse could only say honestly: "My name is Saoirse Ronan, an actress."
Martin stretched out his hand: "Give me the camera."
Saoirse felt aggrieved and gave it to Martin. Martin gave it to Leonardo, who looked at it and deleted the photo of him and Martin.
Martin pulled out the camera battery: "Don't run around, don't take random pictures."
Saoirse took the camera back, nodded hurriedly, and squatted next to Martin: "I'm right here, and I'm not going anywhere."
Martin looked at Leonardo: "Let's get started."
Leonardo took a puff of cigarette, picked up a two-kicker, lit the obviously lengthened fuse, and looked at it before putting it into the barrel to avoid stuffing it into his mouth later.
Making sure it was correct, he stuffed the cannonball into the barrel.
Martin didn't know the specific location of the old bastard, but he knew the directions of several popular places. He immediately turned the muzzle and tilted it slightly upward.
Saoirse plugged her ears.
With a muffled thud, Martin felt the steel pipe shake slightly, and the two specially-made kicks flew out quickly.
The next moment, the second kicker hit a pine tree branch more than 60 meters away on the left front, fell and exploded.
boom--
Pink smoke rises.
There were so many crews stationed at the studio that similar explosions occurred frequently and went unnoticed.
Martin shouted: "Load! Fire!"
Just as Martin's words came out, Leonardo had already lit another cannonball and stuffed it into the muzzle of the cannon with quick hands and feet.
In the distance, there was another explosion and red smoke rising.
"Change me! Change me!" Leonardo faintly heard the panicked voices of the wild mandarin ducks, and was inexplicably excited: "If you don't let me fire two shots, there will be no chance."
Martin switched to Leonardo and became the loader himself.
Two kicks ignite, tuck in, Leonardo controls the direction.
The two of them work together in perfect harmony.
Saoirse stopped plugging her ears. The two big stars in front of her completely broke her perception.
How can this be a celebrity? They are clearly two idiots!
But she thought it was fun, and took advantage of the gap between firing to ask: "Can you let me fire a shot? Hey, you two, can you let me fire a shot!"
Martin said: "Girl, don't be tempted to fire!"
Saoirse pouted.
"Which bastard is setting off cannons!" Suddenly, a roar sounded from the woods.
Leonardo was not afraid of danger, turned the muzzle of the gun, and fired a shot in that direction.
There was a loud bang, and a strange man and woman were seen running away with their clothes in their hands.
Martin's hand speed was super fast. As soon as the previous one was fired, the next one was stuffed into the barrel.
The explosion sounded several more times, startling countless pairs of mandarin ducks.
Nicholson and Streep were older and entered the state a little slower. Just as they were fully engaged, something suddenly exploded diagonally above their heads.
The latter's adductor muscles suddenly tightened, almost to the point of cramping.
Nicholson was frightened, immediately transformed into a slug, and withdrew in time, avoiding physical injury in addition to mental damage.
"Fuck!" Nicholson yelled angrily: "It must be those two bastards Martin and Leonardo!"
When Streep heard the names of these two people, his heart was trembling. He picked up his clothes and put them on randomly, not daring to stay any longer: "Let's go quickly!"
Nicholson knew very well that as much of a bastard as he was, those two were just as bastards, so he quickly pulled her away: "Let's go first, and we'll settle the score with them later!"
boom!
An explosion sounded in the air behind them.
Just under a tree over there, Bell had reached the most critical moment. When a gust of cool wind blew by, the sound of explosions above his head made his body tense subconsciously.
In recent months, apart from filming and preparing for other roles, Bale has been working out like crazy. He will be filming the Batman sequel next year.
This is a super dedicated actor.
He suddenly lost weight and gained weight several times in a short period of time, and his muscles tightened at critical moments. Coupled with the cold wind and explosion shock, the muscle fatigue accumulated in his legs exploded instantly, and both legs cramped at the same time.
Bell's face was deformed in pain, and his arms and hands couldn't use any strength. Blanchett, who was being held up by him, lost support and fell like a cannonball.
At the same critical moment, Blanchett's whole body was tense. This fall was quite fatal.
Bell let out a miserable howl.
Almost at the same time, Blanchett also screamed.
She fell firmly to the ground, her smooth butt hitting the dead branches, and tears of pain flowed out.
Bell couldn't stand, fell down, and reached out to Blanchett: "Quick! Help me pull my foot! I'm cramping..."
Blanchett struggled to get up and went to help Bell first without caring about anything else.
The wind blew the hem of his shirt, and shocking blue-purple traces appeared on the exposed areas.
That moment, it fell hard enough!
The things on the ground pricked her very painfully.
"Asshole!" Blanchett lifted one of Bell's legs and used force to help him wrench it: "Which bastard did this!"
Bell was in severe pain, but he gritted his teeth and stopped making any sound.
Blanchett asked: "Should I call for help?"
Bell panted for a while: "I'm fine. Don't let anyone see it. I can't put it on for the time being..."
The two of them could only help each other helplessly.
