This morning, Buckinghamshire Police.
Martin and Leonardo were sitting in the lobby, waiting for the lawyer to complete the relevant procedures.
The latter held a copy of The Sun in his hand and said: "Jack and Meryl made the front page headlines, went to Pinewood Studios at night, and were complained by multiple cast members..."
Martin held the same newspaper in his hand: "Looking at the second page, Bale was injured accidentally on the set and was temporarily admitted to the hospital. Cate Blanchett appeared in the same hospital."
Leonardo thought of the two people he saw yesterday and asked, "It won't hurt there, right?"
"Who knows." Martin put away the newspaper and said, "The old bastard is so loyal that he didn't reveal that it was related to us."
Leonardo put away his smile: "Jack has a bad reputation. Why are you and I willing to fool around with Jack? Although he is a bastard, he is a loyal bastard. He never distinguishes between right and wrong in doing things, only closeness and distance. . Even today, he has never said a bad word about his old friend Polanski."
Martin pointed to the front: "Come out."
Nicholson came with Meryl, accompanied by his lawyer.
When he saw the two bastards, he had nothing nice to say: "It's all your fault!"
Martin did not refute, but asked: "Do you feel good?"
Nicholson thought of the wild mandarin ducks that were bombed out last night and laughed: "It's so exciting to ride a horse. Didn't you see how embarrassed those idiots were when they ran out without even putting up their pants?"
In contrast, Meryl is much more serious, and behaves like an elegant lady in front of others.
The group of people walked out, and Leonardo said, "You must be loyal."
Nicholson said: "I dragged you two in, if something happens, who will bail me out?"
When he came to the door, Martin reminded: "There are reporters outside."
Nicholson and Meryl walked out of the police station together without changing their expressions.
There were a lot of paparazzi gathered near the door, and the four of them got into the same car without even looking at them.
Martin shook the newspaper in his hand and deliberately said to Nicholson: "The two idiots who followed you yesterday went into the hospital."
Before Nicholson could answer, Meryl turned around and asked, "Jack said you discovered that Blanchett, that bitch, was following me with Belle yesterday?"
Martin's words were meant to attract her attention: "Yes, so we fired a shot over there." He handed the Sun in his hand to Meryl: "The scandals in the Sun are better than the politics in the Washington Post and the New York Times. News is a hundred times more reliable.”
Meryl took it and saw the news about Bell and Blanchett, and cursed coldly: "Damn Bitchi!"
Leonardo didn't think it was a big deal, he just thought it was a small matter. He continued: "Blanchett and Bale treat you as sexual aids."
Meryl didn't answer the question and just said: "I won't care about those things in the past with you two, just write them off."
Martin's words were particularly skillful and he came out naturally: "One day I'll treat you...and Jack to a drink, and bring a few more friends out."
Leonardo understood: "There are beautiful actresses on the crew of "Mamma Mia"?"
Nicholson had a great time last night and was particularly grand at this time: "I'd better treat you. Wait until another weekend and I'll invite Meryl and her friends she made on the set to have a drink together."
"No problem," Martin said.
Meryl thought for a while and nodded: "Okay."
…………
Pinewood Studios, The Conjuring Crew.
The originally planned shooting plan had to be revised.
Nolan sat in the director's seat, frowning: "How is Christian Bale doing?"
Emma Thomas brought the water glass and handed it to her husband: "I just called and asked. There is nothing serious about the leg. It's just a pure cramp. The trouble is down there."
Nolan knew what happened and couldn't help but worry: "Is it hurt badly?"
Emma Thomas thought about the wording and said: "The sponge is slightly torn and there is a mild subcutaneous hematoma. Fortunately, it is not serious and does not require surgery. It will be fine after a few weeks of rest."
Nolan nodded: "We can only postpone all the scenes involving him."
"Let's adjust it later for now." Emma Thomas shook her head and had some opinions about Bell: "There are so many places to go to, including trailers, hotels, and even photo studios. I have to follow Blanchett to the woods..."
Nolan was a little worried: "Who did it? Is someone targeting our crew?
Emma Thomas had already asked clearly: "It shouldn't be the case. Bell and the others were disturbed in the afternoon. The troublemakers went there again in the evening and were seen by many people. They were Jack Nicholson and Meryl Street." Two people."
She was quite helpless: "Nicholson is a bad person. He just does it for fun. The people on the Harry Potter set next door were also scared. At least a dozen people were chasing him and Meryl Stewart last night." Rip, someone called the police, but Leonardo bailed him out this morning.”
Nolan had also heard of Nicholson's reputation: "That old bastard!"
Emma Thomas considered reality: "You have thoughts about the Oscars. This matter ends here. We are not the ones who are hurt, and the overall impact on the crew is not great. Nicholson is senior, has many friends, and has a certain reputation in the academy." In terms of influence, this kind of person may not be able to accomplish anything, but he can easily destroy it.”
Nolan listened to his wife's words and said, "Bear, please call and express your concern."
"I'm going to visit him in the hospital. I must show the proper gesture." Emma Thomas handles these chores much better than Nolan.
…………
After sending Meryl to the studio, the three idle guys walked around London for a long time and found a bar to drink.
Nicholson drank a glass of whiskey, and bad ideas came to him: "I just called and asked, Bell is hospitalized, the sponge is torn, it's so pitiful, let's go to the hospital to visit him tomorrow?"
Martin picked up the wine bottle, poured wine for the three of them, and said, "Just be a human being, don't be a devil in human skin, okay?"
Nicholson said: "It's you and Leo who killed this person!"
Leonardo said: "Isn't it just to help you?"
Hearing this, Nicholson's nose almost crooked: "I really want to thank you very much!"
Martin put his arms around Nicholson's shoulders: "We are best friends, so I don't need you to thank me too much." He said seriously: "In this way, if you do something for me next year, just cooperate with me. Today we will help You should just let this matter go."
Nicholson said: "According to you, I was frightened by you, so I still need to thank you properly?"
Martin was surprised: "Didn't you just say you wanted to thank us? We helped you get rid of the peepers! Think about it, Bell and Blanchett used you and Meryl as Indian god oil, and they brought a camera or camcorder , you will be in danger, and it will spread all over the world..."
He thought about it for a moment: "Pinewood Gate, the Oscar winner and best actress, think about how fast it will spread!"
Leonardo almost burst out laughing.
Nicholson was helpless: "It's such a small thing that makes you exaggerate to this extent. I'm really old and it's time to give up."
The three of them were laughing, drinking and chatting, very happy.
Men can have a great time without women.
Of course, life will be better with beautiful ladies.
Martin received a call from Kate Winslet and was ready to say goodbye in advance.
"You can go." Nicholson burped and said, "Martin, I want to tell you good news. I kept a batch of the shells you gave me yesterday. If you are in the parking lot, I will Leo will go and fire off a firecracker for you."
Leonardo drank a lot, patted Martin on the shoulder, and said: "Kate and I have been good friends for ten years, and I don't have any other requests. Be nice to her, and don't use you against Heidi K. The rough approach of people like Rum, Angela Lindwald and KK, be gentler."
Martin pushed Leonardo away: "What nonsense are you talking about? Kate asked me to familiarize myself with and rehearse a few scenes. It's serious work."
Leonardo shook his head but stopped talking.
When Martin left the bar, Nicholson asked, "What exactly happened?"
Leonardo said vaguely: "Kate called me just after arriving in London two days ago and discussed some special scenes with me. She felt that the performance would be better if she had on-the-ground experience."
Nicholson agreed: "You're absolutely right!"
Leonardo asked curiously: "Have you actually experienced it during filming?"
Nicholson looked disdainful: "The things you are playing are all leftovers from our games. Think about Malone's buttery hands back then, who would dare to use them now?"
Leonardo surrendered.
When it got dark, Martin rushed back to the hotel.
Because he had to rehearse with Kate later, he went to the bathroom to take a shower, wash off the smell of alcohol, brush his teeth and change into new, dry clothes.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, there was a knock on the door. Martin went to open the door. The person outside was Kate Winslet.
He opened the door and said, "Kate, please come in quickly."
Kate entered the room with the script and said, "I came to bother you after work."
Martin went to get her a bottle of water: "Let's not say any kind words between us."
"Then let's get down to business." Kate sat on the single sofa and said directly: "The delayed scene is the most important part of sublimating the emotional relationship between the male and female protagonists. If the shooting effect is not good, it may affect the entire film."
Martin understands: "I understand that physical attraction to emotional outburst requires a process of transformation."
Kate was silent for a moment and then said: "I have been preparing for this project and role for two years. Martin, you know how much I long for the Oscar for Best Actress."
Martin nodded: "You are better than all the Oscar-winning actresses."
Kate stood up and took off her coat: "I have no way to retreat and I don't want to retreat. You will help me, right?"
Martin owed Kate a favor and couldn't refuse: "Yes!"
"I asked Leo and discussed it with Sam." Kate walked towards Martin: "They both told me that on-the-ground experience is the best solution."
She said: "Remember the rumors I mentioned about Nicole Kidman starring in Eyes Wide Shut? It was said that Kubrick used real shots from actual experiences."
The best actors are often crazy actors, and Kate seems to have entered this state.
