Chapter 112: New Tricks and New Ways to Play (Alliance Leader Plus 11)

The party was held in a luxury estate in Beverly Hills, and Bruce drove a Volkswagen sedan behind Louise's Bentley to support Martin at all times.

When the car arrives at the gate of the manor, he sees Louise, dressed in full costume, holding Martin's arm and entering the door, and Bruce spits out the dog food vigorously.

I've been fed a little too much lately and want to throw up. A stylish setting typical of the forecourt where the party is held, the hostess Joanna stands in front of the fountain to greet the guests.

Kate Winslet had been waiting for Louise, and when she saw her holding Martin over, she hurried up to meet her and hugged her friend: "You're so beautiful tonight." Then he turned to Martin and said, "Handsome guy, you finally came to Los Angeles to develop...... Let me take a closer look, you and Louise are golden boys. Like a gentleman, Martin took Kate's hand and kissed the back of his hand: "Beautiful English Rose, can we dance together later?" ”

"No problem." Kate led the way: "I'll introduce you." Louise nodded: "It's better for you to introduce it formally than for me to rush over." The trio walked up to the fountain, and Kate introduced Louise and Martin to Joanna, who was also from England.

Harvey Weinstein also came over from the side and chatted with Louise. Soon, the three of them left and walked towards the crowd.

Louise asked, "Kate, are you going to use the power of Harvey Weinstein?" Kate shook her head: "This session is useless, the movie is not his, how can he contribute." She wanted to win the Oscar: "Wait a minute, if it doesn't work this time, Joanna can help me a little." Louise is very sincere advice: "Find a psychotic or ugly character." Kate couldn't help but laugh and looked at Martin, "I remember the last time you said that. It's not a joke, Martin is self-aware: "I don't even know which way the doors of the academy are opening. Kate came over and grabbed Louise's arm: "Can you borrow your girlfriend to say a few words?" "Martin automatically slowed down.

Kate whispered, "If Harvey Weinstein talks to you privately, you must let Martin accompany you." Louise understood what she meant: "I'm not going to work with him, and I'm not interested in working with him." ”

"I don't want to, if possible." Kate still said the same thing: "If you don't win an Oscar, you will always have shortcomings." Louise could only say, "I wish you a dream come true soon." Kate unconsciously gestured her hands: "Because I got a high box office, I was discriminated against by a group of old men who had no business achievements, where to reason." ”

"Don't talk about these troubles." Louise's voice also lowered, "I'll do me a favor later." She and Kate whispered for a moment before they stopped.

Kate responded: "Okay, it's none of your business, it's mainly for Martin's sake on treating me well in Atlanta." Reading the book, Lalouise's face changed instantly, and the wave of prodigal air couldn't even suppress the formal evening dress: "What? Sam can't satisfy you? Kate, you're going to join in, I don't mind, and Martin certainly doesn't mind. Kate threw her arm away: "I'm going to find Wes Craven." Martin followed from behind and asked, "Can it be done?" Louise said, "Do you think there is a problem with Kate's acting skills?" Martin faintly saw the tall Wes Craven and pulled up Louise: "Let's go over from the other side." Louise asked, "Are you sure it works?" ”

"Not sure, you said Wes Craven likes group parties, I'll give it a try." Martin still said: "Try hard, and if you can't leave." He said in a low voice: "You have pressed out a lot of funds here, and if you don't go to the platter in the short term, I have to think of a way, do you really want you to take care of it?" What if you drain me and kick me? The two went in a circle, and when Kate and Wes Craven talked, they walked unhurriedly towards that side, greeting people on the way, no different from normal people.

Wes Craven's coterie has two other people besides Kate, the actors of the "Scream" series, David Arquette and Courteney Cox.

The latter is one of the heroines of "Friends" and is very famous. These people are talking about horror films.

Martin and Louise approached, and Louise greeted Kate, "So you're here." Kate smiled: "I met Wes, and it happened that David and Courtney came over, and we talked about horror movies together." Craven glanced at Louise, "You're Mel's daughter." Louise said, "Yes, my father has mentioned you several times, and he is a big fan of the Ghost Street series. Next, she introduced Martin.

Male companions brought to formal occasions, even if they don't know each other, will be valued by everyone. If Martin himself can't participate in such a circle at all, he can only borrow Louise's momentum.

It's not wrong to say that you are being fostered. After a few simple greetings, Kate's eyes swept over Martin and Louise's faces, and the topic immediately turned back to horror films: "The first scream of the year summarized the vulgar rules of a series of horror films, but in the end, it still followed these old paths." Craven agreed: "American horror films are today, it is difficult to innovate, the scream series is also old wine in new bottles, nothing more than a more unexpected way of killing, the identity of the murderer is more special, and the reason for the killing is more outrageous...... Courtney answered: "Some horror elements in the East are good, and DreamWorks adapted a Japanese horror film." Craven said: "The response is average, the culture is different, and the market acceptance is different. Louise said from the perspective of investors: "There is still an audience for traditional plasma films, and such films have been sold in the past two years. Martin also joined: "The idea of 'Death is Coming' is good, but the sequel is also patterned. Louise said: "It's hard to reinvent a new horror film model, and it's hard for investors. Craven fully agrees: "No one is willing to invest, no matter how good the idea is, it is just an idea, the production company is conservative, just want to continue the successful model, and innovation means a huge unknown risk." Martin said, "So, Freddy and Jason made one film after another. Seeing Martin and Louise join the conversation, Kate would talk less.

Louise added: "Last year, I also made a Freddy vs. Jason, and I actually think the monsters of different movies look interesting together. Craven was the writer and producer of that film: "It's also a proper innovation in conservatism." Martin picked up on his words: "What about integrating more horror monsters into one movie?" For example, pythons, unicorns, tooth fairies, murderers, giant bats, ghosts, zombies, witches, werewolves, etc., find a suitable story and creativity, stuff them into a movie, and engage in a mass killing, will horror movie fans be addicted? Craven imagined in his mind, "It's a bit of a mess, I can't imagine it." ”

"It's just my personal opinion." Martin looked at Louise, "Next week's makeup party, why don't I do a horror monster theme?" In the dark night, all kinds of terrifying monsters roam, it's exciting to think about. Louise said, "You have an idea." Kate sent an assist: "Sounds interesting, can you participate?" Martin said, "Of course, it's my pleasure. He took the opportunity to send out an invitation: "David, Weiss, Courtney, if you are interested, you can also come." Louise smiled and said, "He always likes to brag that he is the king of the party, and he likes to do new tricks with all the bells and whistles, and you will judge him." David and Mr. and Mrs. Courtney asked for the time, only to say that they would attend if they were free.

Cravin likes parties, he has participated in few in the past two years, mainly lacking enough fresh excitement, and when he heard Martin's words, he also became interested, and said seriously: "You get a bunch of scary monsters out, just so I can see how they work together." Martin's words immediately became lofty: "I have also participated in the filming and production of horror films, and we happen to have a special theme discussion on horror films." Craven has to maintain his style in front of people: "This topic is very valuable for research. Louise pulled out her and Martin's business cards, exchanged them with Craven, agreed on a time, and said to everyone, "I'll send you an official invitation next Monday." A few people talked happily with each other, and after chatting for a while, they broke up.

After a while, Louise excuses Joanna for her family's troubles. Martin and her went to the parking lot, but instead of getting into the Bentley, they called Bruce.

Waiting for the Volkswagen to come over, Martin asked: "I'm going to rent the villa in Malibu where I filmed "Star Buddies" last time, and I will pay for it myself, but I don't have professional manpower here, you can help me again." Louise reminded: "Your debt to me is growing. Martin simply said, "Let's pay for it." Louise opened the Volkswagen door, pushed Martin into the car, and said to the driver's seat, "Old Bu, throw this rotten thing into the Malibu Sea, and I'll settle the bill for you when I get back." Bruce smiled back: "Civilized people do things, you can rest assured." Martin got into the car, took out a small notebook, and handed it to Louise: "See if you can pay off the debt?" Louise opened her eyes and smiled with satisfaction: "Lao Bu, temporarily surround him with his life." The Volkswagen closed its doors and whizzed away.

Louise got into the car and called her assistant: "Nikki, go rent a Malibu villa as soon as possible." Bruce drove out of Beverly Hills, drove northeast along the highway, and asked, "This investment will be high, are you sure you can earn it back?" ”

"Invest now to have a higher income later." Martin pulled out his phone and called Jenna Jameson.

According to Louise, Wes Craven prefers group parties rather than pure horror masquerade.

Even if the Hollywood modeling agency is willing to take it, the fee is very high. Martin called Jenna Jameson in the afternoon, and at this time the party was confirmed, of course, to find a professional: "Sorry, Jenna, let you wait so late, Lao Bu and I are on the way to the San Fernando Valley, there are a lot of cars on the road, it is estimated that it will take about an hour to arrive." ”
