When word spread that Martin was going to hold a press conference at the studio, Heath Ledger and the CAA had no choice but to accept Martin's offer.

A formal apology was made through the media, and $200,000 in compensation was paid to Martin and Aniston.

Heath Ledger was released on bail after paying a sum of bail.

On this day, the three crews filming at the Brooklyn studio all got the news and gathered in front of the office building early.

Will Smith, who had just arrived in New York, said to producer David: "I didn't expect to have a good show just here." ”

The latter clasped his hands to his chest, looked at the brown-haired young man walking in the distance, and said: "Heath Ledger's drug abuse almost injured Martin and Aniston, it has been spread in the circle, it doesn't matter if you take drugs, but it ...... mess around on the set"

He shook his head and said from the producer's point of view: "I would never use such an actor." ”

Will Smith said for his own safety: "I'm not going to let him be on my crew. ”

The surrounding media reporters turned their cameras and took pictures of the visitors.

Christian Bale got along well with Heath Ledger in the crew, and couldn't help but shake his head: "The compensation has been given, just apologize privately, it's a bit too much now." ”

Cate Blanchell, a member of the Australian Gang, turned her eyes to Martin and Aniston coming out of the office building and said, "Very excessive! ”

Not far from the two, Heath Ledger's agent, Kevin Howayne, had a rather ugly face.

This incident had a great impact.

Shams's mentality is better, the topic of "Brokeback Mountain" has risen, and the impact is not particularly great, and he will lose a Best Actor nomination at most for the Olympics.

The promotion and marketing of the later film will downplay Heath Ledger.

Heath Ledger himself was much more peaceful than these parties involved, and he went straight to Martin and Aniston in the company of Michelle Williams.

Dozens of shots went to them.

Heath Ledger bowed: "I apologize to you for what I did that day!" It may be too late to undo the damage done to you, but I sincerely apologize for all of this! ”

Martin looked at it slightly, the other party was about 1.85 meters, his figure was relatively strong, and there was no trace of mania.

Aniston nodded slightly: "I accept your apology." ”

Martin said, "I accept your apology. ”

Heath Ledger said, "Thank you. ”

Michelle Williams gave him a pull, and Heath Ledger smiled apologetically at the two and followed his fiancée back to him.

Martin glanced at the media reporter who was stopped by the studio's security personnel and said softly, "Let's go too." ”

Aniston followed Martin out of here.

The media reporters dispersed one after another and went back to catch up on the manuscript.

On the other side, Michelle Williams admonishes Heath Ledger: "For the sake of your daughter, quit!" ”

Heath Ledger doesn't know how many times he promised: "I'm going to quit!" ”

"Don't do it again." Michelle Williams was tired for a while.

Arriving at the studio, Martin got into his makeup trailer and was going to work today.

Before the makeup artist arrived, Bruce reminded Martin, "I took a video on my phone that day. ”

Martin waved his hand: "Keep it, it should be able to be used in the future." ”

Bruce replied, "I'll save it when I go back." ”

After putting on his makeup and entering the studio, Martin threw away the mess and focused all his energy on his work.

On the same day, Thomas gave an interview to the media on behalf of Martin, detailing what happened that day.

More media reports followed, and Heath Ledger published a related apology in the Los Angeles Times.

A few days later, at the nominees luncheon held by the Film Academy, the list of nominees for the new Oscars was announced, and Heath Ledger's name was not selected among the nominees for Best Actor.

The negative effects of drug driving in the studio, which almost caused the injuries of two colleagues, became apparent.

This kind of thing really has to be taken into account, and it is closely related to every actor.

At the Four Seasons Hotel, Kevin Howie watched his girlfriend Betty help him pack his luggage, and he didn't want to move.

Betty asked, "I booked my ticket today?" ”

Kevin kept shaking his head: "Don't be in a hurry to go first." ”

Betty, who is also a practitioner in the entertainment industry, said: "Heath Ledger is like this now, it's useless for you to stay in New York, and if you try to find a way when his film is about to be released, the audience will forget, as long as there are enough positive reviews, these negative effects will be eliminated soon." ”

"I want to see Martin Davis."

Since joining CAA, Kevin has had a smooth journey, and the star is like a marionette in his hands, and he is really uneasy at the moment: "I want to talk to him." ”

Betty persuaded, "It's not necessary. ”

Kevin's phone rang with a text message prompt, looked down, and got up to go out: "I'll go out." ”

Betty said again: "Don't get into trouble with him, that man likes to do things with people, and always in self-defense." ”

Kevin would not be stupid enough to make a move with Martin, waved his hand and left the room, went down to the business floor of the hotel, and met Martin playing billiards with his agent in the open entertainment hall in front of the business reception room.

Thomas leaned on his cue and asked, "Sure?" ”

Martin knocked the red ball into the bottom pocket and casually pointed to the side of the reception room: "Jane and Steve are negotiating the final terms with Ali, and the CAA will be officially notified if this negotiation is completed." ”

As soon as Kevin came over, Thomas saw him and greeted, "I thought you were back in Los Angeles." ”

After Martin finished playing the black ball, he got up.

Kevin looked at Martin and said, "Originally, we could have been friends. ”

Martin didn't bother to say anything, and looked at Thomas.

Thomas was self-conscious, rushing ahead of Martin and occupying the moral high ground: "This is how you do things at CAA?" There is no distinction between right and wrong? Domineering? Michael Oweiss was no more than that. ”

Kevin replied coldly: "You are not qualified to ......"

"He's not qualified, do I have one?" Ali's voice came from behind Kevin: "Can Ali Emmanuel speak directly to CAA's senior partner?" ”

Kevin couldn't hide his surprise: "Why are you here?" ”

On this occasion, Ali certainly has to defend his customers: "If I don't come, are you going to continue to blame Martin?" Oh, do you think this was 10 years ago, and your CAA family was dominant? If you want to go to war, WMA is with you! ”

Martin didn't have to say anything at all, the agency was already in his way.

Kevin didn't bother Ali and just stared at his back.

Aniston and Steve came from behind.

Kevin had a bad premonition.

Steve looked at Aniston, who nodded slightly.

"I wanted to call to inform, but it just so happens that Kevin is here, so I'll let you know first." Steve raised his eyebrows at this moment: "Jane and I officially started the termination process, and I will rush back to Los Angeles today to deal with the relevant termination matters." ”

Kevin immediately looked at Ali: "You want to join the WMA?" ”

Aniston then beckoned Martin: "Let's go to a big dinner and celebrate." ”

Martin put down his club and pulled Aniston to leave first.

Ali invited Steve: "Let's go, take my private jet back to Los Angeles." ”

Thomas took the initiative to run over: "And me, I'm going back to Los Angeles too." ”

Ali laughed: "Go and pack your luggage, I won't wait for you when it's late." ”

The three agents walked towards the elevator almost at the same time.

Kevin couldn't hold his breath, strode to the other side, and immediately called Brian Lord to inform that the CAA headquarters was shaken.

This time it wasn't Halle Berry who was poached, it was Jennifer Aniston!

Holding hands with each other for more than ten years, when they were there, they felt that it was nothing more than that, and even faintly disgusted.

Suddenly lost, only to discover the preciousness of the other party.

In the restaurant, Aniston specially asked for a bottle of champagne for the waiter to pour well.

"I don't know why, there's a sense of relief, and a little bit of loss." Aniston picked up the glass and suddenly smiled: "But it's worth celebrating!" ”

Martin clinks glasses with her: "Jen, cheers!" ”

The two of them drank the cup and laughed at the same time.

Aniston took out her mobile phone, turned it off, and said, "I hope that in a few years, we can still sit together and have a drink." ”

From the sadness and anger after the divorce to the current light-hearted pleasure, Aniston's mentality has completely changed, and women in their thirties have become more practical, less attached to love and marriage, and more enjoy the crotch.

She is rich, famous and powerful, why should she marry again and tie herself up?

Isn't a strong and powerful puppy fragrant?

Especially in front of you, warm when you should be warm, domineering when you should be domineering, and hard when you should be hard.

Martin understood Aniston's words and took the initiative to cater to him: "Hopefully many years from now, the same will be the case." ”

After dinner, they went back to their rooms together, holding hands.

For Martin, there is both Rachel's bonus and the rich woman effect.

Who doesn't like a rich woman like Aniston who has a good face, a figure and a temperament?

…………

Long Island, New York, a wealthy neighborhood.

A team of three journalists from the News of the World, driving a maintenance vehicle from a communications company, parked on the outskirts of the community.

Lukaku, who was driving, reminded Hazard and Courtois: "Hurry up and change your clothes, I inquired clearly, Harvey Weinstein often asks directors and actors to come to Villa 21 here to discuss the script and characters." ”

Hazard changed his clothes, checked his tools, and said: "To be a journalist, you have to be proficient in communication technology, I am really a talent!" ”

Courtois couldn't help but be envious: "Your salary is also the highest among us!" ”

Hazard turned on the roof lights, looked through the telephone line map of the community, looked at it for a while, got out of the car and compared it with the actual situation, and then pointed to the southeast: "Go there, the signal exchange closest to Villa 21 is over there." ”

Once he got in the car, Lukaku said: "Have we created a whole new type of journalist? ”

Courtois asked: "Journalists in prison? ”

"you!" Hazard disliked him with a crow's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense! The newspaper has done so much, and the British side has made such a big fuss, and it has been fine. ”

As the car drove up to the switch, Lukaku said, "Phone tapping alone is not very effective, should we think of something else?" ”

Just then, a mother and daughter walked by near the maintenance vehicle, and the girl was holding a cute stuffed animal in her hand.

Courtois came up with a solution: "Why don't we disguise ourselves as merchants and do a plush toy giveaway when the villa is occupied?" I remember the company provided a candid camera device that used a toy eye as a camera. ”

"That's a good idea."

There was no one around, and the three of them were busy, not like reporters.

Reporters at the News of the World are versatile.

The third watch was sent and knelt down to beg for a monthly pass.

A sister of my family who grew up diagonally opposite the street in my hometown has acute leukemia, and suddenly had a fever the morning before yesterday, and went to the hospital to find that it was leukemia, only one day later, and I was critically ill twice yesterday, and the situation is not very good.
