Chapter 193: Serial Reaction
WMA, Office of the Joint Partners.
"Thank you for your recommendation, Ali." Martin thanked Emmanuel very formally: "It played a key role in my role contention. ”
Ali didn't look like a senior agent at first glance, but more like a gang boss, and he patted Martin on the arm: "The company has invested a lot of resources in you, you must win this role, don't let us down." ”
Martin, of course, had to be confident at this time: "The character can't run away!" ”
Ali nodded: "Very good, Martin, I am very optimistic about your future, seize every opportunity......"
Originally, Thomas was on the side, quite relaxed.
As soon as the big guy said this, the alarm bell rang in his heart, and his hairs stood up.
Thomas sensed the danger of a third party stepping in.
He is like a dick who has been struggling for many years, and it was not easy to chase the goddess Martin, Ali, a rich and handsome man, suddenly jumped out and wanted to intervene, what should I do?
Thomas was suffering from gains and losses at this time, but he couldn't say it, he just hoped that the goddess would quickly throw away the rich and handsome and walk.
Martin chatted with Ali for a few moments, and suddenly noticed that Thomas's gaze was always rolling on him.
It's like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman.
He was quick-witted, roughly guessed Thomas's thoughts, and immediately offered his farewell to Ali.
Walking out of the partner's office, Thomas secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that a third party will not intervene in success in the short term.
Martin deliberately put his words on the bright side: "Afraid that I will jump to Alibaba? ”
"It's not!" Thomas subconsciously denied it, and then shrugged his shoulders: "There is a little, not much." ”
Martin grabbed him by the shoulder: "I'm the number one customer here, and I become the last customer to him, who do you think I will choose?" Besides, we're not just partners and partners, we're friends. ”
Thomas put his heart back in his stomach at this time: "Actually, I know that you won't have problems, but the main thing is that I don't know the bottom of my heart." ”
"Then climb up hard, don't you have the bottom in your heart to become a partner?" Martin took the opportunity to launch a CPU offensive, and his words went straight to Thomas's heart: "I do covet the resources in Ali's hands, but I always believe that you can also bring them." ”
This feeling of being trusted made Thomas feel very comfortable, and he said that it was a little early to leave work every day. Even if you leave the company, you can also participate in some in-circle activities or parties to meet bigwigs, connect with friends and broaden your network.
Didn't the opportunity of "The Departed" originate from his network of contacts at the earliest?
When he came to Thomas's office, Bruce, the rotten man, made Natasha very happy, and the two talked and laughed.
Martin didn't enter the office, waved his hand, and beckoned Lao Bu: "Let's go." ”
The two went downstairs to the hall, and he asked, "What do you hear?" ”
Bruce said: "For the sake of his career, Thomas gave up love. ”
Martin laughed: "With a career, there will be countless loves." ”
"Thomas is pretty reliable at the moment." Bruce briefly mentioned: "For the sake of that character in Departed, he took the initiative to serve Alan, but unfortunately Eren looked down on him." ”
Martin sighed: "We want to climb higher, there is always someone to carry the weight. ”
Out of the building, the two walked towards the parking lot.
As the propaganda campaign ended, so did the entertainment news about Martin, with the occasional paparazzi following behind.
I entered the parking lot and suddenly someone came over.
Bruce looked at him warily.
The man said, "Mr. Davis, my boss wants to see you. ”
Martin looked at it slightly, making sure he didn't know the man: "Who is your boss?" ”
The man said, "Harvey Weinstein." ”
The door of a nearby van opened, revealing Harvey's chubby face.
Martin nodded at Bruce and got into the van.
Bruce understood what Martin meant, took out his phone to find Sophia's contact information, and once Martin encountered a problem, he would suppress his fear and call for support.
Martin got into the car and sat next to Harvey.
Harvey smiled, "I've heard for a long time that you're an amazing young man, and I finally met you today." ”
Martin replied, "I've heard of Mr. Weinstein for a long time. ”
Matt Damon belongs to Harvey's hardcore little brother, and Harvey has always wanted to talk to Martin, but Martin suddenly disappeared from Los Angeles, and he couldn't chase him to Boston, so he waited until now.
"You starred in three horror and thriller movies in succession, and you have accumulated a certain appeal in this regard." Harvey is not brainless pressure, but pays attention to methods and methods, the two movies of Wax Museum and Eyes across the mountain have been successful one after another, and Martin has use value.
He took the initiative to invite: "My Emperor Pictures has a film project, the horror and thriller genre, the new part of the "Ghost Chasing" series, I plan to invite you to be the leading actor. ”
Not to mention, Martin remembers this series, in which the nail bald head is one of the classic Hollywood horror images, and it is also the prototype of the saw blade head of "Cabin in the Woods".
Is the other party sincerely invited? Martin couldn't be sure, he remembered very well that it was the first time he had come face to face with Xavi.
Sophia lashes out at Harvey at the Eye Studio across the mountain, and Martin dodges it early.
Harvey asked, "How's it going, are you interested?" He further said: "Your acting skills are excellent, and after Timon Pictures, Weinstein Pictures can also work with you, you know what I am best at." ”
Martin does know that he is best at finding someone to go to a hotel to discuss the script and then wash his hair.
He didn't make a hasty decision and asked, "Can you know when the shooting will start?" ”
Harvey's words are very flexible: "The project is in the pipeline, and it has not yet been decided. ”
When the actor signs the contract, he has the initiative.
Martin's mind kept spinning, remembering the news he had seen in his previous life, where Matt Damon and Ben Affleck had done countless things to wipe Harvey's ass.
He is competing with Matt Damon, and Harvey, who has never dealt with him, suddenly invites him to star in a project of Dygate Pictures, the schedule has not yet been determined......
To be on the safe side, Martin decided to ask Thomas to deal with Harvey: "I'll think about it and I'll get back to you later." ”
Seeing that Martin did not refuse directly, Harvey said, "As soon as possible." ”
He also gave the script to Martin, and inviting Martin to star in a horror film was obviously not a talk.
Martin took the script, got out of the car, got back in the car, waited for Harvey's van to drive away, and asked, "Didn't call Sophia?" ”
"You've been in less than ten minutes." Bruce, the rotten man, said bad things: "I don't think it's possible for him, even if he has a greater tonnage than you, to subdue you and succeed in such a short time." ”
Martin gave him a middle finger and tore Lao Bu's unhealed scar again to blood: "Are you afraid of what Sophia will do to you?" ”
Bruce suffered the fatal blow and fell silent.
Rotten Martin flipped through the script and took a quick look at it, then called Thomas, who soon came down from upstairs.
The two looked for a place in the lobby of the WMA, and Martin explained the matter in detail.
Thomas asked, "You're not interested in this project?" ”
Martin said: "It's not that I'm not interested, it's that there's something wrong with it, and I remember Matt Damon had a lot of relationships with Xavi. ”
This reminded Thomas that he knew more: "Matt Damon and Ben Affleck can become popular because of Harvey Weinstein, and there are many rumors in the circle that these two are hardcore supporters of Harvey. ”
Martin said directly: "I'm worried that there is a hole in it, and you have to find a way to refuse tactfully." ”
Thomas was very conscious: "Leave it to me." He also had an idea: "I'll see if I can put Oscar Isaac on this crew." ”
Martin simply left the script and left the WMA.
Thomas immediately called another client, Oscar, and asked him to come over and say that there was a potential project.
Subsequently, he communicated with the people of Dimen Pictures, and jumped up and down to get busy.
Martin went to Warner Studios to play with Mene and continue to prepare for auditions for "The Departed."
Until the moment when the results are actually announced, Martin will not relax.
The audition invitations for "The Departed" were all sent to the corresponding actors.
What Matt Damon received was an audition notice for supporting actor Ding Genan.
"Why not Colin Sullivan?" Damon was a little confused.
Dyson's Doug said: "Scorsese and casting director Allen agreed that you're older than Colin and would be better suited to play Ding Genan. ”
He went out of his way to emphasize: "Leonardo, Plan B, Pacific Pictures, Warner Bros. all support Martin Davis, and I can only guarantee you a major role." ”
Matt Damon frowned: "I don't understand, why did Scorsese choose him?" I'm from Cambridge and have an accent advantage. ”
Doug has heard a lot of news in the past two days: "Martin Davis has been preparing for this role since December, working hard to practice his Boston accent, and he also contacted BPD for a 20-day life experience ......"
Damon said: "I'm ready to get the role and then experience life. ”
Doug spread his hands helplessly: "You are moving too slowly, Martin Davis prepared for the role before the audition, and put it in front of Scorsese, you are still preparing unhurriedly, he has given 100% effort, what will Scorsese do?" ”
"This bastard is also crazy, and he has paid so much before the role has arrived." Matt Damon was speechless: "Hollywood is already fiercely competitive, does he do this to make all the people competing for the role tired to death?" ”
Doug didn't care about that, just asked, "Did you take the audition?" ”
Damon said, "Pick it up! I have the Rohan series and Bourne commercially, and there is a lack of acting awards, so why don't Scorsese's projects take it? ”
On the other side, Mark Wahlberg, who is also eyeing the crew of "The Departed", is also working for the role.
Hearing that the crew invited the main actors to audition, he didn't receive a notice, and asked his agent to inquire.
got the news that the crew had basically finalized Matt Damon to play the role he was competing for.
All of Mark Wahlberg's preparation was in vain, somewhat annoyed, and wrote down Matt Damon's account.
