Chapter 288 - Sponsorship is also required for the prize
In February 2006, the weather in New York began to warm up, and with the coordination of Warner Bros. and WMA, the crew broke through the obstacles and could shoot location scenes on the streets of New York.
The first stop was Central Park so as not to thaw at the Wollman Rink.
Because of the relationship between Martin and Aniston, the crew also attracted a large number of media reporters to watch and film.
"Never-ending" is temporarily exposed enough that there is no need to actively create news.
The filming of the crew proceeded step by step, except for some complaints about the road closure shooting, there was basically no other trouble.
On the weekend, Martin made time to visit Fifth Avenue.
When he came to Tiffany, after a brief look, he waved his hand: "This, and this, I want it." ”
Men buy things to highlight a fast!
Go straight to the point, don't hang out, don't ramble.
Martin went to swipe his card, then got a ruby and a sapphire necklace, and went to Los Angeles and Atlanta by mail on the valuables line.
This is for Louise and Kelly.
Subsequently, I went to buy a necklace, earrings and bracelet three-piece set, and also mailed it to Atlanta for Elena.
There are also people to send, unlike the crocodile teeth and horn sculptures, Martin did not plan to send the same brand, and then went to Cartier and Chanel respectively.
The latter bought a necklace that he was going to Louisiana on Valentine's Day and gave it to Blake Lively.
I bought a bracelet set with pink diamonds from Cartier, which was a gift for Aniston.
As for Julie, Martin has been left behind for this time.
Julie never looked back on the road of the Virgin, and after the release of the "Wanted" DVD publicity, she flew to Afghanistan and other places to investigate refugee matters.
Martin called her, and Jolie's next role is also closely related to mother and child, called "Changing Child", a film directed by old cowboy Eastwood, which is guaranteed to win the awards season.
Julie's future development plan is very clear, that is, the modern Madonna.
Gifts from five people, Martin swiped more than $100,000.
When it's time to be generous, you must not be stingy.
This is what Martin told Leonardo about his experience after asking him.
What others say may not be reliable, but this single-minded superstar, who has had dozens of formal and informal girlfriends, not only did not one jump out to scold him, but even kept saying that he was good.
Playboy can do this to this extent, and it is unique in the whole of Hollywood.
After completing the mailing procedures, Martin and Bruce carried a few bags and got into the car together to return to the hotel.
Bruce drove out of the parking lot and said, "You're so generous, it's not like the Martin I know!" ”
"The main thing is that I was sick before and I haven't been cured," Martin said. ”
Bruce wondered, "How did I not know you were sick?" ”
Martin explained simply: "Poor! With only two or three hundred thousand dollars on him, who would dare to pay more than a hundred thousand dollars to buy a gift for a woman? I'm not a love brain. ”
"yes." Bruce began to feel reasonable, and the car drove through an intersection and pondered, "No, it's not right!" ”
He pierced through the fog and got to the bottom of it: "Heath Ledger paid for you!" He pays you $200,000! ”
Martin retorted: "The spiritual supplement he gave me, isn't it my money?" Am I not swiping my money? ”
Bruce couldn't argue with that.
Martin asked, "What gift did you give the Kardashian sisters?" ”
Bruce deliberately said: "Tusk pendant and horn carving, clown type." ”
Martin put his middle finger directly in front of him.
Bruce is honest: "Designer bags, one each for Kim and Kohler." He is a rotten person, and he has a lot of ideas: "I asked Jin, do you want everyone in her family to send one?" Kim said this time period was not appropriate. ”
Martin finally understood: "No wonder I sometimes look perverted, it turns out that you have unknowingly influenced me!" ”
Bruce disdainful: "It's clear that you influenced me!" ”
The two rotten men discussed the rotten things and returned to the hotel.
Martin enters the suite and finds Aniston, who had been out on a friend's errand, returned.
She changed into her loungewear and came out of the bedroom with a gift box in her hand.
Then, when he saw the Cartier handbag in Martin's hand, he couldn't help laughing: "We have such a tacit understanding? ”
Martin teased her: "It's not a gift for you." ”
"yes, you have a girlfriend." Ignoring Martin's words, Aniston walked over and grabbed Martin's left hand, untied the watch from his wrist, and placed it on the couch next to him.
Martin asked, "Give me a Valentine's Day gift?" ”
Aniston dismantled the gift box: "I have a little lover who pays me hundreds of millions every day, Valentine's Day is coming, how can I give my little lover a little return." ”
Martin tugged at his sleeve.
Aniston took out a Patek Philippe men's watch and stuffed it into Martin's hand: "Let's see first, like it or not." ”
Martin found that there were words on the back of the case, and when he looked at it the other way, it was indeed engraved with a line of flowered English - Martin, Jennifer will always remember you.
Aniston took the watch, put it on Martin, and said, "Don't be too impressed, we're just lovers, not boyfriend and girlfriend, and it's impossible to get married." ”
Martin was helpless: "You can't let me fantasize for a few more seconds, imagine that I married a billionaire woman named Aniston, and from now on I don't have to work hard, I can lie flat every day." ”
Aniston put on her watch, like the most intimate big sister, and arranged her sleeves for Martin: "If you lie flat, there will be one less billionaire in this world." ”
"Lend you good words." Martin opened Cartier's gift box, took out the bracelet set with pink diamonds, and put it on for Aniston.
The little milk dog had a heart, and Aniston was also happy, saying, "Actually, the gift you gave last time was very good." She asked curiously, "Who is Lily Carter?" ”
Martin replied, "I have a younger sister in Atlanta, she has a very good talent for carving, and she is going to apply to the California Institute of the Arts this year. ”
"The sculpture department there is good." A woman in her thirties really wants to be intimate and be able to take all aspects of a man into account, Aniston was having a hot fight with Martin, and took the initiative to ask: "Do you need me to help you write a letter of recommendation?" I have a good relationship with Deliana, the vice president of the California Institute of the Arts. ”
Martin hurriedly replied: "Of course! Jane, you are the best lover in this world. ”
Although the neighbor Mr. Jones will provide letters of recommendation, but the letters of recommendation from celebrities and celebrities, a few more is not a bad thing.
Aniston said, "The main thing is that Lily Carter's carving is good, very easy to use. ”
Martin had seen how Louise and Kelly used his statues, and he understood in an instant.
"Want to see it?" Aniston opened a suitcase and took out a clown carving from it.
Without saying a word, Martin pulled her into the bedroom.
Aniston starred in the movie live, but who doesn't want to watch it if you know a little bit about Hollywood?
On the eve of Valentine's Day, the crew deliberately took a holiday, and dozens of people dispersed in a hurry.
Even Robert De Niro, the good head, had to rush home to build the seventh Gold Eater.
Martin flew to Atlanta and then from Atlanta to Louisiana, spent three days in a row on the road and explored, and when he returned to New York, he slept for more than ten hours before he regained his full energy.
At the same time as the gift, Martin received four more designer watches.
He also couldn't understand why women like to give watches?
Martin specially marked the watch box to indicate who gave it to save the trouble of wearing the wrong one.
You can't just overturn because of this little thing.
A few days after the crew restarted filming, Aniston finished filming and returned to Los Angeles to deal with the termination of the contract with CAA.
Thomas is back in New York with plans for the release of WMA and Warner Bros.
Ali Emmanuel saw some samples of Martin's role in "The Departed" through connections, determined that the role was much more than the normal standard of the awards season, and immediately asked his subordinates to start preparing for the awards season rush plan.
"The North American awards season, in the early nineties, still started in December."
In the suite, Thomas elaborated on the specific situation: "But since the mid-nineties, the traditional one is not good, and the current awards season is from the Toronto Film Festival as the starting point, and there are even some films that have been awarded since the Cannes film in May, but the European Film Festival has little impact on the Oscars, don't care about them, it can be basically ignored." ”
Martin had heard Louise analyze the awards season before.
Thomas continued: "Warner Bros. and Scorsese agree that the Toronto Film Festival is a great fit for the world premiere of the Departed, and from the Toronto Film Festival, the WMA will invest resources and network to build momentum for you. ”
"Be specific." Martin asked practically.
Thomas said: "After Ali has handled the signing of Aniston, he will personally negotiate with Warner Bros. and the crew, so that the crew's publicity and marketing expenses can be appropriately invested in you." ”
In fact, he knows very well that Aniston does not sign with the company, and the company will not make actual investment, which is an exchange of interests: "In addition, in addition to media and network resources, the company will also allocate $1 million for lobbying and public relations." ”
Martin knew that Oscar was running and that funding was key, and said, "Do I need to raise some of the expenses on my side?" ”
Thomas told the truth: "Parties, lobbying, advertising, and gift-giving, all need money, and you won't get anything out of the Oscars without investing money, which has little to do with art in nature, but is a game of fame and fortune." ”
Martin is ready and has a plan: "I talked to Coca-Cola about the Oscars, and they said that as long as the endorsement effect is good, they can sponsor me to win the award." ”
Thomas is not surprised, because when other celebrities rush for awards, the endorsed brands will also exert their strength.
His agent took the initiative to take it: "I'll go and communicate with Coca-Cola." ”
Martin nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you." ”
Thomas added: "Warner Bros. has set a schedule for "Never End" to be released early next year. ”
He added a key thing: "I'm not sure what Leonardo thinks about the next awards season, you better talk to him, it's not easy for you to build a good relationship with him, don't get into a conflict because of this kind of thing." ”
"The crew is almost done shooting, and I'm going to go back to Los Angeles to find Leo," Martin said. ”
Hey, last night the person left, and the illness was less than four days old.
