The gift box made of mahogany is very high-grade, which makes people look forward to the treasures inside.

Anne likewise asked, "Can I open it now?" ”

"It's yours now," Martin said. ”

"Tiffany? Or Patek Philippe? Or pigeon eggs......"

Anne opened the gift box with anticipation, and there were two beautiful small gift boxes inside, the first one was opened, and there was a pendant lying on the black velvet cloth, like some kind of animal tusks polished.

Then open the other one, and there stood a grinning clown, who was clearly Martin's appearance.

Anne was still smiling on her face, but the disappointment in her heart was like an oil well erupting, and she secretly disdained: "That's it? It's not as good as a golden donuts! ”

"This is the trophy from the bay crocodile and bison that I hunted when I was filming in Australia, and I made it with a master carver," Martin said. ”

Anne's prop necklace is a real pearl, so his gift is also a real bay crocodile tooth and bison horn ornament: "That bay crocodile is more than six meters long, and you may not be able to meet one in Australia for a few years." The carved bison horn is a rare blue and white right angle. These are all unique products in North America, and you will never find the same. ”

Hearing this, Anne's disappointment dissipated somewhat, after all, the meaning is extraordinary, and it may be unique in the world.

She looked through the clown carving, found words on the soles of her feet, and asked, "Carver Lily Carter?" ”

Martin received a number of clown statues in the shipment, which he would have looked at closely, and received them in the box with a cursory glance.

When he took it, he also picked one at random, he didn't look at the soles of his feet at all, but he didn't expect Lily, an idiot, to leave a name.

It is impossible to roll over.

Martin reacted quickly enough to automatically set up a character for Lily: "The Australian master carver is a woman, named Lily Carter, extremely skilled, a top artist, I went to Australia in the first half of the year, and now I have only received these artworks, and it took 6 months to queue up in the middle." ”

This is in line with Anne's perception of art, the works of top artists, not to mention fangs pendants and humanoid carvings, even if you stick a banana on the wall with duct tape, it is also a first-class work of art.

Anne said tentatively, "It's too precious for me to take it." ”

"It didn't cost much." Martin seemed casual, but his words turned just right: "I just owe a big favor, and when she comes to Los Angeles, I want to help introduce her to the top celebrity circle in Hollywood." ”

He pointed to the clown carving: "I've been busy with work lately, and I can't accompany you every day, so let it make you happy for me." ”

The favor is indeed not small, and Anne has a measure in her heart: "I accept it and keep it with me all the time." ”

At the same time, there is a voice in my heart shouting: I am not so elegant, just give me a vulgar gift.

But her posture is high, and the person is so high that it is impossible to say.

At least not at this stage.

On the other side, Laura stood beside Bruce, looked at Anne and Martin sweetly, exchanged gifts, and said, "They are so happy!" ”

Bruce replied casually, "Looks like a perfect match." ”

"I remember you were Martin's manager?" Laura is self-aware, she can't plot against Martin, and the manager around her is not bad, so she took the initiative to reach out: "My name is Laura, a little actor, and I'm going to be Anne's assistant." ”

Bruce shook his hand politely, his gaze quickly swept behind Laura's back, and replied flatly, "Hello." ”

Seeing the other party's cold attitude, Laura said in her heart that she was just a little flat? Other conditions are good.

Martin sent a formal invitation to Anne: "Next weekend, the film in which I will be the absolute lead actor is "Eyes on the Mountain", which has a fan meeting and promotional event in Burbank, and the film was highly praised in the internal test screening of Warner. ”

He seemed to be anxious to get the approval of his favorite object, and said with anticipation: "I want you to see that film for the first time, even if it's just some teaser clips." Anne, can you come with me? ”

Even if Anne wanted to go, she would not agree immediately, but pretended to hesitate: "Next weekend, my itinerary ......"

Martin said: "A few of my friends, producer Wes Craven, director Alexander Agar, and a couple of Warner Bros. executives, are going to come over, and I'm thinking of introducing you to them, and you told me last time that you starred in this film to seek transformation, and I think jumping out of Disney's circle should help you." ”

"Since you want me to go, I'll go over." Anne made a sacrifice for you and me: "I'll contact the agent today and ask her to postpone next weekend's schedule." ”

Martin slapped his palm vigorously: "Great! ”

When the crew started filming again, Martin ended his visit and left Paramount Studios with Bruce.

At the end of the day, Anne called her agent, Maha.

Maha suggested: "The film you are making now, you have to take the route of the European Film Festival to win the award, in the short term you will have a vacuum period in North America, since you got close to Martin, the exposure and media popularity have been good, I think it is necessary for you to go, if Martin confesses to you, accept!" Then I went to talk to his agent. ”

Anne understood, and was seriously considering the matter.

…………

Back in the car to North Hollywood.

Bruce asked Martin, "Shall I call Mene?" ”

Martin was surprised: "He was recently taking someone to clean up the studio rented studio, what are you calling him for?" ”

"Get back that fake diamond ring you gave him!" Bruce wasn't joking: "When you confess to Annie, you're sure you'll be able to use it, and we'll save a fortune and not have to spend money on a new one." ”

Martin cocked his thumb: "Lao Bu, you have evolved again and know how to save money for your employer." ”

He shook his head: "No, I won't confess to Anne." ”

Bruce bared his teeth: "You're not even as good as a scumbag." ”

"As long as I don't take the initiative to confess, I'm not a scumbag." Martin's theories are set up, and there is no scumbag major, otherwise it would be easy to get a doctorate: "I waited for her to confess to me, proving that she chased me, not her who I chased......"

Bruce is sure that the pervert on the co-pilot is no longer going to be human.

Martin said seriously: "I want to be a good person, and I can't give random promises that can't be fulfilled." You see, how responsible I am. ”

Bruce thought of Annie's character: "You two should really be together, get married, hurt each other, and then write about the real experience and make a family ethics drama." ”

Martin pondered: "Anne is not in a high rank now, but if she stays with me for a long time, her rank will definitely increase, and with her person, she may fake a murder scene, and then hide, and it is not impossible to frame me for murder." ”

Bruce spent time in England: "Like Agatha Christie did to her husband? ”

Martin had seen stories and reports about it before: "The White Lotus is crazy, it's scary. ”

Bruce reminded, "Aren't you afraid that Louise will go crazy?" ”

"Louise doesn't like to drink tea, she likes to drink wine, don't look at me and I have a very good relationship with her, it's essentially a transaction, there is an emotional factor, but who knows how much." Martin has a good mentality, because compared to most people in this circle, he is a lucky person, and the unspoken rules of the encounter are completely acceptable: "Who do you think I want to report on my experience once a month?" ”

Bruce was deeply touched: "Every industry is similar, the superior demands more from his subordinates, and the American GIs, female officers and generals stationed around the world have a lot to tell. ”

Martin agrees: "It's not even a scavenger, you have to ......"

"Shut up!" Bruce held the steering wheel with one hand and lifted his jacket with the other: "If you say more, I'll definitely blow your head off." ”

Martin took the initiative to back down: "You have a concealed gun license, you are amazing!" ”

He changed to another topic: "Did you shoot with Kim?" ”

Bruce said: "Kim wanted me to shoot, but I didn't want to, she begged me to be the leading actor, as long as I didn't shoot, I could do whatever I wanted." ”

Martin saw a real scumbag: "Lao Bu, you should be my teacher, compared to you, I am much worse." Really, I can't do whatever I want, no matter which one I'm facing. ”

"I'll teach you a trick." Bruce dug into his pockets and tried to pull out Vaseline, but pulled out a bottle of wind oil essence.

Surprised, Martin asked, "Have you used it?" ”

"I came back from Mexico, threw it in my suitcase and forgot." Bruce put it away again: "Today I'm going to find Kim and try." ”

Martin reminded: "Remember to make a video, Lao Bu, when you run out of money, you can make a lot of money by selling videotapes." ”

Before returning to North Hollywood, Martin received a call from Robert Patrick asking him to eat at a restaurant in Sherman Oaks.

During the wax museum audition, Patrick helped, and Martin immediately rushed over.

In an Italian restaurant, he met Patrick.

"There's a chance." Because of that special party, Patrick kept Martin in mind: "My 360-degree entertainment company is going to participate in the investment of a movie, produced by WME, with professional wrestling star John Cena as the male lead, and I play the male number two villain, if you are interested, there is a male third role, the villain's right-hand man." ”

Martin took a different path than Patrick in the villain, saying, "I probably don't have a schedule. ”

Out of good intentions, he quickly explained: "I have an action shootout scene in hand that is being planned, and filming will probably start next year." ”

Patrick asked, "Are you the male lead?" ”

Martin nodded: "I'm the male lead." ”

Patrick understood and couldn't help laughing: "You have developed so fast, I remember when I came to Hollywood, it took me many years to make a little famous." ”

Martin also smiled: "When I was in Atlanta, I laid a little foundation, and when I came to Los Angeles, I had you and Wes, Aka, and Zommy to support them, so that we could develop." ”

Patrick said: "If you have a protagonist to play, don't think about supporting roles, and don't play villains if you can play positive roles, unless the villain is special and on an equal footing with the protagonist." ”

I've finally finished the second chapter.
