It was dark, a bonfire was lit on the beach, and Martin and the others, who had been ridiculous all afternoon, let the models go to play by themselves, and pulled Danny Boyle, who had joined after dinner, to drink and chat together.

Leonardo made a special presentation for Martin and Boyle.

Everyone else knew that the two had something to talk about, so they deliberately stayed a little away.

"The first time I heard about you, it was because you have eyes across the mountain." Boyle picked up the beer bottle, touched it with Martin, and said, "At that time, it was very refreshing to see you with a bat and a dog, beating up the road killer who killed the Americans." ”

He took a sip of beer: "More handsome than McGregor in the guessing train." ”

Martin laughed, "I'm not interested in those things. ”

Boyle said: "In the next film, what you said is endless, and the actor only became stronger after taking smart medicine." ”

Martin spoke very simply: "So, I need a suitable director who can show the powerful process of the actor from a sand sculpture to a smart person, that is, what kind of refreshing feeling it can bring to the audience." ”

Boyle is not a traditional British director, but has a lot of ideas: "In fact, the best way is to let the audience substitute the first perspective of the male protagonist, the male protagonist becomes stronger, everything he enjoys and obtains is slightly equivalent to everything he gets, everyone wants to get it for nothing, and they can climb to the top of society without hard work, which is exactly the right character." ”

These words coincided with the assumptions of Martin and Bradt, who initially felt that Boyle might be a good fit.

If the ideas do not agree, there is no need to talk about the rest.

For example, Martin wants to shoot a commercial film, but the director wants to make an art film with deep and philosophical thoughts, which will only hurt each other, and there is no need to cooperate at all.

Martin asked directly: "Danny, you have contacted my agent Thomas, presumably some views and insights on the adaptation?" ”

Boyle also knows the importance of concept alignment, saying: "This is a commercial adaptation, since it is a commercial film, the first thing to determine is who the main audience is? These people want to see this movie, or what to expect when they go to see this movie? ”

Martin nodded slightly, this is a pragmatic director.

Boyle said: "Smart drugs are not an end, but a means to become stronger, I personally think that what ordinary audiences want to see most should be the wonderful performance of the protagonist after becoming stronger, the complex chain reaction that arises, what he has gained through smart drugs, what he has encountered, how to solve it, etc., these are the key points." ”

Martin held up the beer bottle: "Our ideas are close. ”

Boyle smiled: "It seems that I passed this interview?" ”

Martin nodded: "When you have time, go to the Davis studio at Warner Studios, you, me, producer Louise Meyle, screenwriter Bradt and action director Chad, we need to talk together." ”

This is a necessary procedure, and there are not only two key positions in a crew, the director and the actor, but Boyle also needs to be more recognized.

Boyle thought for a moment and said, "In three days, I need to read it again when I go back, and by the way, I will systematically sort out my thoughts, and then I will go to you." ”

Martin replied, "No problem, you call me before you go." ”

Boyle drinks with Martin: "Hopefully we can work together." ”

Martin took a sip of his beer: "I hope so. ”

In the last two days, Martin has watched "Trainspotting", "The Beach" and "28 Days of Shock", and Danny Boyle is undoubtedly a capable director, and his film style is also more commercial.

Leonardo came over and asked, "Are you done talking?" ”

Martin shrugged: "It's over." ”

"Good!" Leonardo exclaimed, "Let's start the carnival of the night!" ”

Martin said disdainfully: "Your surprise party is like that?" There are no surprises, you and who are faster than me, there are a lot of scares. ”

Leonardo was excited: "Next up is the water gun competition that I have carefully prepared. ”

Nicholson scoffed, "What else would you do but the water gun?" ”

"Extraordinary water gun competition!" Leonardo shouted into the distance: "Beauty, are you ready?" Come here! ”

A large number of beauties ran over, and more than a dozen of them were specially painted with targets, and the center of the target was very special.

Since he shouted out to have a water gun party, Leonardo was of course prepared, although he was beaten violently by Martin in the afternoon with a group of models, but in the evening, he saved some face with a special water gun competition.

The partygoers were very cheerful, and it took most of the night to calm down.

That is, on the beach in Malibu, replaced by Beverly Hills or Sherman Oaks, and a neighbor had already called the police.

The next morning, the party company sent a car to pick up the models they had hired and left.

Leonardo saw Martin sitting and drinking water, and quickly gave Nicholson a look.

Nicholson went over and said, "Let's go, let's go, let's go to the city for lunch." ”

Martin got up and followed the two out of the villa.

The beauties in front saw that the three of them were about to leave, and they frequently turned around to say hello.

Nicholson pointed to the outside of the villa: "My car is there, get in my car and go." ”

Leonardo seemed very concerned and asked deliberately, "Danny Boyle left in Toby's car early in the morning, and you negotiated with him." ”

Martin followed behind Nicholson, and said as he walked: "Some things in the concept are basically agreed, and the rest of the salary and treatment and the like, the crew has someone to talk to him." ”

Leonardo said: "He is not very paid. ”

Nicholson continued: "Danny Boyle is not a big director either. ”

The three of them talked, walked through the front hall of the villa, followed the group of beautiful young ladies, and went out of the main gate together.

As soon as he went out, Martin heard the sound of the camera shutter, and casually swept his eyes, at least three paparazzi were taking pictures.

From their point of view, it is perfectly possible to shoot him, Leonardo, Nicholson, and the group of women.

Leonardo and Nicholson didn't take it seriously, with the latter giving the paparazzi a middle finger.

In exchange, it is naturally a more crazy shooting.

Martin's face did not change, and he got on Nicholson's extended Lincoln together.

It wasn't until the business vans in which the models were riding left that the driver started the Lincoln.

Leonardo and Nicholson acted as if nothing had happened, and they were idle nonsense.

Martin pointed at the two bastards next to each other and directly concluded: "You called the paparazzi, right?" ”

How could Leonardo possibly admit it? shook his head again and again: "What are you kidding, what are we calling the paparazzi for?" Tell someone we had a party last night? ”

Nicholson quickly changed his position, went to sit down opposite Martin, and pointed at Martin and said: "You have persecution paranoia, there are no good people in your eyes, and you always think of me and Leo as the worst." ”

Martin couldn't help but sneer: "You guys are good people? Ha, then there must be no bad guys in the world. ”

Leonardo spread his hands and said, "Why are we doing this?" Exposed with you? Let the lace news fly all over the sky? What's in it for me and Jack? ”

This sounds particularly reasonable at first glance, after all, Leonardo and Nicholson were also photographed by the paparazzi.

But Martin's reaction was not usually fast, and his mind immediately turned a corner: "You two are single dogs, and if you are photographed, you will also be photographed, at most add one more to your many laces!" ”

Leonardo couldn't help but laugh: "You really can't make random associations. ”

Nicholson, the old pervert, said, "Don't bother with him, Martin did too much work last night, and the time below caused a brain problem." ”

He deliberately asked Martin, "Do you need to go to the hospital?" I have a personal doctor here, and he can help you see the lower head and the upper head. ”

Martin raised his two hands and sent out two middle fingers: "You think I'm scared like this?" It's a joke, you don't know anything about me. ”

Until the fan effect has passed, this bit of lace news is nothing.

Besides, he can tell the truth.

Leonardo and Nicholson looked at each other and said to themselves, is it really useless? Martin, the bastard, betrayed the trio, and they just wanted to pull Martin back on the right track.

Looking for a fixed girlfriend, waves are the right way.

Martin stopped talking, and his mind turned, looking for an opportunity that he must make these two bastards look good.

Arriving at the restaurant, Leonardo and Nicholson were the first to enter the restaurant.

Martin used the excuse of a temporary phone call to wait for Bruce to come and ask, "Is the Wind Oil Essence still in stock?" ”

Bruce nodded: "There are still some at home." ”

"I'm going to eat." Martin pointed to the restaurant, "You are free. “

He was going to get some wind oil essence and find a suitable opportunity to give it to Leonardo and Nicholson.

The two realized that it didn't matter, so they said that they had given them a sharp insect repellent weapon.

If the two of them are careless, it must be wonderful in some ways according to what he said.

Martin believes that to deal with these two perverts, it is necessary to use perverted means.

Shortly after lunch, Martin was on his way back to the Coty community when he received a call from New York from Blake.

She asked, "I read the news on the Internet, did you go to Leonardo's party last night?" ”

"yes, I went to Leo's party, a water gun party." Martin was telling the truth: "A large group of people split into two factions, attacking each other on the beach like a live CS, and the team I led won a big victory and beat Leonardo to the ground. ”

He first stated part of the facts, and then moved on to work: "The main thing is to ask Leo to invite the British director Danny Boyle, I had initial contact with him at the party about the new project, the production concept is not much different, as long as there are no accidents in the follow-up, Danny Boyle is the director of the new project." ”

When Blake answered, Martin asked her about her work again, and the call ended without incident.

Two days later, Danny Boyle approached Martin, and after interviews with Louise and several others at Davis' studio, the "Neverending" project was officially decided to have him as the director.
