Chapter 227 Creating Stars, Destroying Stars
When the contract was signed, Martin's car was also changed.
Antonio sat in the spacious rear seat of the Escalade, felt that there was enough room for the big belly, and said: "This car is good, tough, domineering and has a lot of space." ”
Martin pointed to the driver's seat: "Lao Bu, this guy wants to buy a Hummer." ”
Bruce started the car: "That's a man's toy." ”
Antonio half-reclined in the wide seat: "Comfort is the most important thing. ”
Martin said, "Do you hear that, old cloth? ”
Bruce raised his middle finger behind him.
By the time they arrived at the property company, Thomas and the lawyer had already arrived.
The formalities went very smoothly and Martin got the keys to the house on the same day.
When I came to the Coty community, the real estate company had people clean up and the house was clean and tidy.
Martin spun around and said, "There's still a lot missing. He looked at Thomas, "Give me some advice." ”
Thomas told the truth: "My current home was bought by my girlfriend, and then she broke up with me......"
At this point, I can't go on, because of overtime during that time, my girlfriend made one by one, which was too difficult.
Martin said: "Move here first, buy what you don't need." ”
In a place like Los Angeles, if you have money, you don't lack things.
Bruce skillfully pulled out his camera and said to Martin, "Take a picture with your new home and post it on the blog." ”
Martin praised Lao Bu: "You are getting more and more brainy. ”
Internet sharing will soon become a key part of celebrities to attract traffic.
Leaving Thomas and Antonio, Martin and Bruce returned to their North Hollywood apartment, plus Emily and Jessica's car, and moved all their belongings at once.
Bruce mostly clothing and a few guns.
In addition to these, Martin also has crew memorabilia, jadeite and Australian specialties.
When Emily laboriously carried a pile of crocodile fangs into the living room of the villa, Thomas happened to see it.
Seeing that huge number, he couldn't help asking, "Martin, you pulled out all the teeth of the Australian crocodile?" ”
Martin was thick-skinned and not embarrassed at all: "I just got the news a few days ago, it turned out that I legally hunted more than a dozen bay crocodiles more than 6 meters long in Australia, and my memory was declining, so I couldn't remember." ”
Antonio looked straight and shook his head, with Martin's shamelessness, this thing will be flooded in Hollywood sooner or later.
Originally, he thought that when Martin became a superstar, the pendant and carving given by Martin could be sold for a good price, but now it seems that he will sell it sooner.
Go back and find a tenant who wants to be a star and sell it.
Bruce gives the camera to Jessica and asks her to go to the den and upload the photos to the blog.
In addition to uploading photos, Jessica also wrote a short essay in Martin's voice.
"Today is a special day, I moved out of my North Hollywood apartment, moved into my new home, and shared photos of my new home with everyone."
The photo was posted on the blog along with the text.
When Jessica came back after taking a look at the fan area, there were already hundreds of messages, and dozens of entertainment bloggers had reposted them.
In Martin's name, she picked a few and replied, and when she looked again, she found that the official blogs of The Hollywood Reporter and Entertainment Weekly also reposted the blog post just now.
The young Jessica has a special sense of achievement, compared to Hollywood stars in the same position, Martin is much more influential, even more than Hollywood and the film and television industry.
Outside, Bruce took a drill and other tools and went to the fence to install some equipment.
Martin and Thomas each carried a bag and went to the basement storage room.
There are two tin cabinets on the ground, just right for guns.
Martin pulls open his bag, revealing several ARs and shotguns.
Thomas had a toothache and specifically asked, "Is the gun okay?" ”
Martin nodded: "It's all legal guns on the record, I forgot to tell you, LAPD helped me get a concealed gun license." ”
"In your case, it's safer to have a gun." Thomas knew about the Russians and did not object to Martin having a gun.
The grip of all the spears is special and looks rather awkward, much like a hammerhead.
In the aftermath of the 1998 North Hollywood bank robbery, California tightened its control of assault weapons, including semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, and prohibiting the use of pistol grips.
If there is a policy, arms dealers naturally have countermeasures, and hammerhead and shark fin grips came into being.
Anyway, users don't have to worry about it, there is always a way for arms dealers to solve it.
With the spare weapons in the basement put away, Martin went back to the first floor, picked up another bag, and went around each large room to hide the weapons.
Antonio was quite speechless, saying that this man was cowardly, daring to jump out and fight the armed bandits, saying that he was bold and too cautious.
Martin came down from the upper floor, and it was almost noon, when he called out twice, waited for the people to come over, and said, "At noon, we have a big meal, and we are ready to send it out." ”
During the meal, Antonio gave the contact information of the president of the Martin Coty Community Council.
Martin had just moved here, and he couldn't come to visit until he was settled.
Soon he was going to Washington, D.C., where he planned to return and throw another party.
In the afternoon, Martin sent the others away and went with Lao Bu to go to the big purchase.
Mainly bedding and daily necessities.
As soon as the two got out of the mall and got into the car, Martin received a call from Julie from the Middle East.
He motioned for Bruce to drive and answer the phone.
"I just saw your blog on the internet." Julie was quieter: "Congratulations, you've moved to a new house." ”
Martin smiled: "You can still access the Internet over there, which means that it is not dangerous." ”
"I was in the embassy in Baghdad, and yesterday I gave a speech to the Iraqi people, and the response was very good," Julie said. ”
Martin asked curiously, "What content?" ”
Julie smiled: "Congratulations on their escape from the brutal dictatorship of the tyrant and their precious democratic freedom." ”
Martin said: "Classmate, all the skills of the teacher have been learned by you. ”
Julie's side was inconvenient, and her words were vague: "Teacher, when I go back, I will pay double the tuition." ”
The two quickly hung up.
Bruce, who was driving, glanced at the co-pilot and asked, "I remember you taught me that a dead star is more conducive to a movie success than a living starring actor?" ”
God knows what mess Martin taught Lao Bu.
Martin said casually: "It's not necessarily a big sale, it's easier to make a fuss about marketing, and the publicity effect will be better." ”
"I know ......some people in the Middle East," Bruce said.
"Lao Bu, are you okay as a person?" Martin immediately grabbed the moral high ground: "Although we are rotten people, we are rotten people with principles and bottom lines!" ”
Bruce's face was full of innocence: "I didn't say anything! ”
Martin changed the subject: "Pack up as soon as possible, we're going to Washington in two days to receive the award." ”
Bruce said, "There are only medals, not even bonuses. ”
Martin was very conscious: "Even if I take this kind of bonus, I must donate it." ”
The two returned home, and the ordered goods were quickly delivered.
In the middle of the afternoon, Mene also came to help, and he didn't look for a new role for the time being, because "The Departed" was about to start filming in mid-July.
…………
Atlanta, a business van parked outside the Clayton neighborhood.
From the driver's seat, Alex looked at the dilapidated house from a distance, and said to the two subordinates: "This is it, you go carefully to inquire about Martin Davis's past, people who live in this kind of place generally can't get away from flour, gangsters and crime, and find useful news clues." ”
The subordinate who called Albert said, "Can you give them some benefits?" ”
Alex nodded, "Yes." ”
Another subordinate, White, reminded: "Bring your press card, this kind of place is dangerous." ”
Alex is certainly aware of the potential dangers of the slums: "Put on your papers, and get out if the situation is not right." ”
Albert is confident: "There is nothing we want in the News of the World that we can't get!" ”
Alex waved his hand and let the two of them into the community.
He picked up a newspaper from the side, and on the social news page of the newspaper, there were several people who would receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom this year.
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, Boxing Champion Ali, Father of the Internet Winton Cove, Hollywood Star Martin Davis.
The News of the World, the weekend edition of The Sun, entered North America years ago with News Corp.
Alex's news team didn't want to miss the big news of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but like The Sun, they never went off the beaten path and were known for making news breaks.
What's the point of regular reporting? It doesn't catch the eye at all.
Alex is very good at picking targets, Greenspan is not easy to mess with, boxing champion Ali has been ingrained for many years, it is troublesome in case he is labeled as discriminatory against black people, and Winton Kov has a conservative net worth of tens of millions of dollars......
Is there a better fit than Martin Davis? It is famous, has a wide influence, and is lonely.
As for the leader of the Cult of Coke, as long as he launches a fatal blow to bring down his public image and create an established fact, the business will not hesitate to give up, which has happened countless times in North America.
Alex's finger pointed at Martin's head, and his voice was inexplicably high: "I don't know you, looking for you is a reporter's sense of responsibility, and the public has the right to know." ”
What he wants to do is actually very simple, and it is also what the media are used to, a star and a hero have been successfully shaped, and the newsworthiness of continuing to promote his glorious deeds is far worse than destroying his newsworthiness.
Alex said to himself, "Make stars, destroy stars!" ”
At the entrance of the Clayton community, Albert entered the small supermarket, selected drinks and snacks and other goods, and went to the cashier to check out.
Nani, the owner, wore a fanged pendant and scanned the code: "$25, thank you." ”
Albert pulled out two 20-dollar denominations and handed them over until Nani gave him change, saying, "I'm a journalist, I'm going to ask you for some news." ”
Nani has seen more than one journalist recently: "About Martin? ”
Albert asked, "Is there any inside information?" He pulled out another dollar and slapped it on the counter: "It's better to be hot." ”
Nani doesn't need to cover up for anyone, to tell the truth: "Martin, I've known him for ten years, a veritable bastard, he dropped out of middle school, he didn't work well, he had to be an actor, and the money he earned was even a problem to eat, so he could only eat at Carter's house, and he and Carter's eldest daughter got involved in it very early......"
He said a lot, emphasizing the energetic: "By the way, Martin's parents are all bastards, my mother has been in a car accident with too many drugs, my father is a liar, an alcoholic and a junkie, and the mother who seduced Carter's family and Martin's first girlfriend ran away, and I don't know where I went." ”
There are two more chapters in the back.,I'm working on the code word.,It should be sent at noon.。
