The busy work came to an end for the time being. Emma Thomas left the studio and went to a nearby dessert shop to enjoy the essential British afternoon tea.
When she arrived at the store, Mene was waiting for her.
Emma ordered black tea and sat down at the table.
Mene smiled and said: "I asked for a cake for you, with double sugar."
Black tea and cakes were served together, and the sweet fragrance could be smelled in her nose. Emma was in a good mood: "You know me better. Drinking afternoon tea with you will always give you the most wonderful taste."
Mene also asked for a cake: "Who allows us to have the same taste?"
He endured the discomfort and took a big bite of the overly sweet cream cake.
When Emma had finished enjoying most of the cake and was in the best mood, Mene picked up the teacup: "A cup of English black tea can suppress my panic."
Emma asked with concern: "What happened?"
Mene said: "The missing person notice posted by Leonardo scared me a lot. I thought the boss was missing, but it turned out that he ran to the hotel and hid."
Emma has been busy today and hasn't paid attention to this matter yet, so she asked: "What's going on?"
"In order to figure out and study the role of the clown, the boss locked himself in the Four Seasons Hotel and cut off all external contacts." After Mene explained the specific situation in detail, he praised: "The boss worked so hard. Last year, he was cast in "The Departed" As a character, I went to the Boston Police Station to experience life, and also followed people from the Detective Bureau to catch dealers and gangsters.”
Under the influence of Mene, Emma already had a very good impression of Martin, and now she recognized it even more: "The investment in the project is so large and the pressure is so great. I have always believed that the main actors must choose reliable candidates."
Why has Emma been seeing Mene frequently recently? It's not as if the pressure is too high. With $180 million thrown in, if something unexpected happens, her and Nolan's future will be ruined.
When Emma was with her husband Nolan, they mostly talked about work. Double pressure fell on her shoulders, making it difficult to breathe heavily.
Eating or having afternoon tea with Meine makes me feel relaxed and comfortable, and I can temporarily forget the worries of work.
"I think so too. Compared to Martin, others are too unreliable." Mene recalled the relevant reports on TMZ: "I read reports in the media that Adrien Brody, Robin Williams and Josh Brolin and others are either on vacation or playing, but my boss is working hard."
Emma ate the remaining cake, drank the lipstick tea, and said: "Martin loves to make trouble, but his professionalism is well-known in the industry."
Mene agreed: "My boss is very hardworking. When he was wanted, he specially practiced marksmanship and fighting. If he hadn't practiced his skills, he wouldn't have been able to save people at Burbank High School."
After the two had afternoon tea, Emma ended her fishing time and returned to the studio to wait for a while before returning home to Los Angeles with her husband Nolan after get off work.
In the car, Emma talked about Martin: "Have you heard? Martin Davis locked himself up in the Four Seasons Hotel for 20 days in order to figure out and study the clown. His best friend Leonardo once issued a missing person report. notice."
"I heard Orlin talk about it." Nolan thought of Bell, whom he didn't like to see recently, and said more objectively: "Martin Davis is almost as professional as Bell."
Emma recalled Bell who had grown fat and thin in a short period of time, and said: "Bell is very dedicated, but Martin is not bad either. Most Hollywood stars have gained fame and status and only know how to enjoy themselves, such as several other audition candidates..."
After hearing what his wife said, Nolan's heart was tilted toward Martin, but he was still very cautious. After all, it involved an investment of 180 million US dollars. He said, "The audition is about to take place. We will wait until we see the results of the audition."
Emma was more optimistic about Martin, but said no more because her husband already had a bias in his heart.
…………
"When a person has a crush on another person, not to mention his above-average abilities, even if the fart smells good, killing someone can help you find a reasonable excuse!"
In the suite living room of the Four Seasons Hotel, Martin's head and neck were tilted forward, his stature seemed to be shorter, and he danced as he walked.
His red lips looked like an abyss that would devour others: "My acting skills may not be as good as those of the others. For a big project worth 180 million US dollars, the weight of the audition score is much more important than other times."
He emphasized, "So, this is an upright audition showdown. From the moment we enter the audition room, we will never make any small moves!"
Bruce reveals, "Because you've done all the moves."
Martin turned around and stared at Bruce with his head tilted: "Old Boo, I'm just trying to ensure the fairness of the audition!"
Thomas on the other side saw Martin's expression and said as if he had seen a ghost, "The audition will definitely be fair and impartial."
Martin laughed and pointed at Thomas: "Look, how clearly my agent sees it! I will defeat all opponents in a fair and just audition! As for a certain opponent who cannot participate in the audition, some opponents audition If you have left a bad impression on the crew before, what does that have to do with us?"
Thomas is an agent, and his biggest client is Martin. He also has other clients. He thought of more and agreed: "That makes sense! This is the true meaning of auditioning!"
An audition only lasts a few minutes, but preparation can stretch beyond the audition room for months.
Martin laughed again: "The agent also recognized that this was a fair and just audition!"
Bruce said: "It's fair enough, you didn't use any violence."
"If it involves higher remuneration, guns and bombs, etc., it is not impossible to consider." Martin pinched his chin, smiling lightly and evilly: "The true meaning of a fair duel is that before entering the arena, all opponents have been If you are killed by a dump truck, can you win without a fight?”
Thomas felt that Martin's thoughts were dangerous: "Are you sure you are acting? Not something else? If you don't get into the character, you can't get out?"
Martin tilted his head at Thomas: "Of course, so I'm just thinking about it, not doing it." He turned to ask: "How is Lily on the set?"
"She is very adaptable and knows how to communicate with others." Thomas said simply: "Everyone on the crew knows that Louise introduced her to her, and no one dares to bully her at will."
He scratched his head: "I heard from the crew that she was very difficult to deal with. When she entered the set, she would demonstrate how to poke people with a carving knife so that they would not die."
Martin was very satisfied: "Very good, she is a smart girl."
Bruce took the initiative to take over: "Don't worry, the crew still has Mene. He persuaded key figures in multiple departments with his words."
Even Martin deeply admired Uncle Mene at this moment.
"Auditions for the Joker will be coming soon," Thomas reminded.
Martin said: "Before the audition, have the stylist and costumer who signed the agreement come over."
Although he has done a lot, Martin still gives it his all when he auditions.
For such a large-investment project, no one dares to risk their career by hiring an actor who did not perform well in the audition.
Thomas added: "Everything is ready, and they will come on time before the audition."
Bruce asked, "What about the others?"
Martin thought for a while and said: "We will discuss the contract negotiation with Nicholson after the audition is over. We will not do anything like popping champagne at halftime."
Thomas was very curious, what did Martin and Nicholson discuss?
"I will tell you if the audition is successful." Martin had agreed with Nicholson as early as last year.
Nicholson, who had so much time and money that he was bored, was willing to accompany Martin in a game of playing with people's hearts.
If you have money and leisure, you mainly focus on fun.
Thomas quickly said his goodbyes and left.
Bruce reminded: "You owe Leonardo and Nicholson a big favor this time."
"I know that the favors of the three bastards should be repaid." Martin suddenly changed his tone and asked: "Old Bu, what do you think I should give you? Two black and strong men? Or short? Poor black girl?”
Although he knew Martin was joking, Bruce seemed to see Leonardo and Nicholson crying silently and said, "Just be a human being."
But Martin knew what the other two bastards were thinking: "They must be thinking about how to mess with me, so before they mess with me, I want them to take a plane ride and enjoy the ultimate happiness in life."
…………
Leonardo and Nicholson are drinking at the Avalon Bar.
The latter asked: "Martin invited the two of us to help him this time. We will always charge some interest."
Leonardo twirled the wine glass gently: "How can I fuck him well?"
Nicholson lowered his voice: "He told me some ideas last year. If he can pass the audition and get the role, we will kill him?"
Leonardo glared: "No matter how bastard Martin is, he is still our brother. The best we can do is let him die among women..."
"That's not what I meant." Nicholson waved his hand: "Let him die of depression!"
Leonardo came closer and asked, "Do you have a plan?"
Nicholson said: "Some preliminary ideas should be combined with the situation at that time." He lowered his voice, and after speaking for a while, asked: "Is it true that a person who played a character like the Joker turned into a villain and died in depression? Do you like what you hear?"
Leonardo was in a great mood and patted the table: "I think Martin will like this ending!"
Three bastards who come together can turn the crew upside down.
These two bastards come together and think they can make a person depressed.
Leonardo drank a glass of wine, saw his enemy in a blink of an eye, and said: "Jack, Orlando Bloom is here!"
Nicholson, a mature man, pressed Leonardo's arm and reminded: "Our force is not in charge. Let's let him go today. There will be many opportunities to mess with people in the future."
"Tell you something." Leonardo said mysteriously: "You know I have a lot of friends in the modeling industry. After I came back from Miami, I asked someone specifically to find out about Miranda Kerr after her Victoria's Secret show last year. , indeed accepted Orlando Bloom’s pursuit and became boyfriend and girlfriend with him..."
He laughed: "Martin may have gotten the news about this and focused on Kerr on the island. But when Kerr saw Orlando Bloom again, she turned against him and refused to recognize him. After the bar that day, she even went to Martin's house. in the room."
Nicholson said: "It is indeed Martin, who likes to rob other women the most."
Leonardo fully agreed: "That bastard Martin is a pervert!" He sighed: "Ordinary women don't smell good, how come the snatched ones taste special?"
Nicholson warned: "Fortunately I don't have a wife or girlfriend."
These words were so reasonable that Leonardo's consciousness suddenly increased: "For the sake of our brotherly friendship, I have decided not to find a wife in the future!"
