Chapter 165: Retribution is coming

On Saturday morning, a huge poster hung early in front of the Burbank Hotel.

On the poster, Martin is covered in blood, holding a baby in one hand and a bat stained with flesh and bones in the other, followed by a scarred Demu.

A large number of entertainment reporters kept taking pictures of the posters.

A short red carpet was rolled out at the door, and fans and media representatives entered one after another with invitations.

Semi-wild paparazzi like Jody didn't get a ticket.

More and more fans arrived, and many were reluctant to enter the venue directly, wanting to stay on both sides of the red carpet, holding up posters of Martin Davis.

Jody has been working hard in Los Angeles for two years, and has seen many examples of this, a movie is successful, and the fate of the starring actor is completely changed.

Suddenly, a strange girl walked by.

He is tall and has white to reflective skin.

She asked, "Are you Jody?" ”

Jody put down the camera: "I am." ”

Jessica took out an invitation: "Lao Bu asked me to give it to you, don't forget his agreement with you." ”

Jody next, seeing that it was an invitation to today's event, immediately nodded: "Tell him, I always remember." ”

Jessica turned her head and blended into the fan team, assisting the crew and urging the fans to enter.

At half past ten, Martin's car stopped in front of the hotel on time, and after he got out of the car, he turned around and took Anne Hathaway from the car.

The latter was dressed in a black dress, and under the dress, the beauty was a mess.

When Anne reached out and put her arm around Martin's arm, all the reporters and paparazzi's cameras lit up and turned off.

Martin took Anne to the poster of the film for a group photo, and soon entered the hotel ballroom.

As soon as I entered, the banquet hall burst into extremely warm applause.

Hundreds of fans picked up their mobile phones to take pictures.

The voices shouting for Martin are even louder.

As fan representatives, Rachel and Phoebe greet Martin and present them with gifts.

Martin let go of Anne and hugged them one by one, saying their names, "Good morning, Rachel, and Phoebe." ”

The latter was ecstatic, so excited that his hands trembled: "Martin, remember me!" You remember me......"

Martin smiled and said, "Of course, when the wax museum was released, I signed your name. ”

Phoebe hurriedly urged, "Rachel, quick, hurry up and give our hearts to Martin." ”

Rachel took a thick autograph book from a fan next to her and handed it to Martin.

Martin then asked, "What is this?" ”

Rachel opened it for him, remembering that Martin had asked them to sign an autograph when they first met, and thought that this time it would definitely surprise Martin, and said, "It's all a message from our die-hard supporters to encourage you to make better films." ”

With Martin's acting skills, the smile will only be brighter.

Then, he looked at the greetings carefully.

"There are thousands of stars in Hollywood, and I love you the most!" The signature is Saoirse.

The next one was written by Phoebe: "I hope you will become popular soon, as long as you want, I will always be there." ”

Phoebe said, "Martin, this is what I wrote, I wrote!" ”

Someone next to him pointed to the autograph book and shouted, "I'm John, and I'm writing on the second page." ”

"I'm Ronan, last page, Martin, and I'll always have your back!"

Martin flipped through it quickly, not having time to count, but there were always hundreds.

Seeing the excitement of the die-hard supporters, Martin's autograph book was too heavy to pick up.

This is a signature book, this is clearly a huge pit!

Or dig it yourself, jump in it yourself, shovel dirt and bury your own pit.

Martin's face was excited, moved, and enthusiastic, and he was almost choked up: "Thank you, thank you for your support to me!" I will definitely come up with the best work and repay your support! ”

He was in tears, how can he remember this?

Rachel said at this time: "Originally, we wanted to pool the money to buy you a souvenir, but then we both felt that it was more memorable, and we were really lucky to be able to grow up with you." ”

"It's my pleasure." Martin turned around, thinking about the fans around him, bowed slightly, and said loudly: "It is the greatest luck in my life to have you by my side." ”

Martin said that such a gift is enough once, and the next time it is good to send a souvenir directly, he is a layman.

Suddenly, Anne said, "Martin, I envy you, your supporters are so good to you. ”

Martin didn't want to answer, could it be retribution for sending Anne's artwork?

The atmosphere in the banquet hall reached a climax at the beginning.

Daniel, Warner Bros.'s deputy director of publicity, looked at these and pondered how much of a role Martin could play in the promotion and marketing.

"Martin can be a major point of publicity, he's popular, and the main thing is that he's smart and knows how to cater to the market and the audience," Craven said. ”

Daniel nodded slowly: "The conventional propaganda method uses Martin as the entry point and main promotion point. ”

In the past six months or so, Craven has had many parties with Martin and has been in and out of various night clubs, which can be said to have really played together.

The two of them have a director and a leading actor, and there is no conflict of interest, and Craven is also willing to say a few good words for Martin: "You have seen the preview version, Martin's male lead, whether it is acting or action, is all above the level, I dare to guarantee that the results of this film will definitely exceed the horror wax museum." ”

As long as it is profitable, the distribution company doesn't care who pushes, Daniel saw the possibility of the success of "Eyes Across the Mountain", and said without hesitation: "As soon as the New Year is over, I will mobilize media resources." ”

The fans were still partying, Martin accompanied them to take photos and sign autographs, chatted a few more words, and got out for the time being.

There are so many people that it's impossible to play like in Zombie Dani.

Martin dragged Anne to the main cast and crew of the set, and officially introduced Anne to Daniel, Ajia, Zommy, and Craven.

Anne is very happy to be able to broaden her network and jump out of the Disney circle, and when chatting with these people, she always holds Martin's arm tightly, and looks like Martin's real girlfriend no matter how she looks.

Daniel asked about Martin's new film: "I heard that you rented a studio in the studio and started to prepare. ”

Martin told the truth: "Just registered the studio, hired the screenwriter Bradt of Fast and Furious 2 and Imp Thief to start adapting the script, and Louise said that the preparation will not be until next year." ”

Because Louise is a veteran, Daniel attaches great importance to it: "Louise has sent an invitation to Warner Bros., and the studio will participate in the platter and distribute the ......"

Martin said: "Louise and I have consulted that the distribution will continue to work with Warner Bros. ”

"Yes." Daniel is actually not in a hurry, specifically wait for the release of "Eyes Across the Mountain", this film is successful, continue to cooperate, and if it is unsuccessful, Warner Bros. has other options.

Craven asked, "Need a $40 million budget?" ”

These Martins are telling the truth: "It may not be enough, it depends on the platter." ”

Anne stood to the side, listening to Martin talk about tens of millions of dollars in investments with Warner Bros. executives and Hollywood godfathers, secretly anxious.

"What about confession? Hurry up and confess! She kept muttering in her heart: "I agreed with a little reserve." ”

Anne thought that Martin would choose this special occasion to confess to her in public.

However, there was no confession, and the event officially began, and on the curtain in the central hall of the banquet hall, a 1 minute and 15 second preview of the mountain was screened.

Unlike the official movie trailer, this segment is almost entirely Martin's solo show.

Walking alone on the desert, his wife and parents-in-law were killed, the child was snatched away, and a person, a stick and a dog went to rescue the baby and complete revenge.

Compared with Wes Craven's past horror films, more action elements have been added.

The banquet hall was filled with cheers as the male protagonist starring Martin smashed the bones of a perverted deformed human with a bat shattered.

After all, it was an advertising clip, and it was played quickly.

Some fans shouted: "Can you play it again?" ”

The crew complied with their request and put it on again.

Later, the media reporters interviewed Martin, Ajia, Craven and fan representatives.

Martin also interacted with fans and journalists.

Compared with most celebrities, Martin can put down his body, pull down his face, and understand that language is an art, and firmly control the rhythm of the whole event.

Stars need style, but now Martin is too early to talk about style, and it is not too late to talk about style when he reaches the level of quasi-giant.

At the end of the event, there was a luncheon, free to eat and drink, who doesn't like it?

Towards the end, Martin and Anne were interviewed together.

A reporter asked, "Martin, are you with Anne?" ”

"We're best friends, and Martin often comes to visit the class, and every time there is a surprise for me." Anne's words were faintly urging: "We will get to know each other and move forward together." ”

Martin was a good man in charge, and told the truth: "Anne is my most important friend, and my princess, and to me she is the moonlight in the night." ”

Originally, Anne wanted to wait until the release of "Eyes Across the Mountain" to see the situation, but what she had seen and heard recently made her unable to wait for that time.

Seeing that Martin hadn't confessed his plan yet, she was a little annoyed in her heart.

But she admonished herself to be reserved, and she couldn't be the first to speak.

After the luncheon, the event officially ended, and every fan and media reporter present, and the crew gave a gift.

Martin chatted with Craven and the others, and also left with Anne.

As soon as he got into the car at the side door of the hotel, he received a call from Vincent from Atlanta.

Vincent was telling him about the upfront investment: "Sophia and I are going to invest $6 million in advance. ”

Martin deliberately said: "The first investment of $6 million? Vincent, it was a wise decision. ”

"Listen to me." Vincent roughly talked about the new plan recently negotiated with Sophia: "This is the first one, the amount of investment in the future, depending on the income of the "Eyes Across the Mountain" project, I can guarantee that the funds invested in the later stage will not be less than the income of me and Sophia in the eyes of the mountains." ”

Martin first had to be confident: "You're ready to invest more than $30 million." ”

Anne couldn't hear what was on the phone, but she could judge from Martin's words, and couldn't help asking, "An investor invested $30 million?" ”

Martin nodded, pretending to be deep: "They trust me, I'm under a lot of pressure. ”

Anne didn't say anything more, but fell into deep thought.

The content is nothing more than the future and the way to money.
