After returning to Los Angeles, Martin first communicated with Coca-Cola about the new endorsement.

Compared to Brioni and Cadillac, Coca-Cola is much more important.

Coca-Cola has no problem with this, and their restrictions are limited to drinks.

Martin then met with Brioni and Cadillac in succession, with whom they agreed on all endorsement terms.

The former signed a three-year contract, with an annual endorsement fee of $6 million, as well as a series of campaign terms to match the brand.

The latter signed a two-year contract, with an annual endorsement fee of $10 million, and the first ad will be shot in January.

Just before the New Year, Cadillac and Martin held a grand signing ceremony in Los Angeles.

In the press room of the Hilton Hotel, hundreds of journalists gathered.

Martin signed the model contract and then exchanged contracts with Johnson, who represented Cadillac.

There was a round of applause.

The curtain behind the signing table opened, and the SLS2007 model of Cadillac's flagship car was revealed.

With the new car poster as the background, everyone including Martin stood on the signing table and took a group photo.

Thomas applauded vigorously from the audience, and subconsciously touched his forehead after clapping, feeling his hair fall like dead grass in winter.

But he didn't care.

Because these two commercial endorsements alone booked millions of dollars for him, the agent.

Counting Martin's other commissions, the annual income is one million!

Entertainment agents in the entire Hollywood can only achieve this achievement, and there are only a few dozen people.

Thomas took out his mobile phone, reflected it through the screen, looked at his hair, and seriously considered whether it was better to shave his head or transplant his hair?

On the signing stage, the voice of a Cadillac spokesman sounded, and the other party announced that he would fully sponsor the premiere of Martin's new film "Never-ending" and all public event vehicles.

Then, producer Louise Meyer, who represented the crew, signed a sponsorship agreement with Cadillac.

All the main creators of the crew of "Neverending" were present.

There is only one month left before the release of the film, and the crew seized every opportunity to build momentum for the promotion of the film.

Martin then spoke to reporters.

In addition to the usual questions, Jody, a reporter from TMZ, asked a gossip question according to the communication with Bruce in advance: "Now there are rumors in many media and websites that you are dating Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie at the same time?" ”

Martin, of course, denied it, and asked rhetorically, "Do you think it's possible?" Jane and Angie are both independent women and I am good friends with them......"

At noon that day, the video appeared on the TMZ website.

Brad Pitt, who was restricted from traveling, watched the video, and the anger of being imprisoned at home for many days exploded, and he smashed the mouse at once: "Shit good friend! Do you have a good friend on a horse? Bastard! Martin, you bastard, I'm going to kill you! ”

He hadn't groomed himself for days, and now his beard was messy, and his hair was greasy, like a mad dog.

On the web page of the computer screen, another news was displayed, Cadillac and Brioni officially signed Martin Davis, who became the global face of the two brands.

Seeing a group photo of Martin standing in front of Cadillac's SLS flagship, Pete felt worse than dead.

Two brand endorsements, tens of millions of dollars, were snatched away like this.

Pete picked up the phone, dialed the number of the agent Maggie, waited for the other side to connect, and said, "I'm going to sue Cadillac for unilateral breach of contract!" ”

Maggie advised: "Forget it, Pete, you better try to keep a low profile and don't make a sound, now the people who announce Metoo are one after another, and even the director and screenwriter industry, you will only incur greater disgust when you jump out at this time, lie dormant, and wait for the opportunity." ”

Pete hung up the phone.

With many stars and directors from Meryl Streep, to Cate Blanchett, to Nicole Kidman joining Metoo, CAA is already considering giving up on Pete.

…………

In the carnival of the Metoo movement, 2006 passed quietly, and 2007 came to Martin again.

Taking advantage of the New Year's holiday, he gave himself a good holiday.

It just so happened that the Coty community organized a New Year's fireworks show.

Martin and Bruce went specifically to New Chinatown and bought a large batch back.

I went to the hardware store again.

The two bought a batch of steel pipes and tools.

Back home, immediately DIY, Martin is a little worse, but the blues are not bad.

He is mainly responsible for saying the idea, and then Lao Bu makes it by hand.

After two days of busy work, I even remodeled a lot of fireworks with setting off tools.

After a brief trial in the yard and making sure that the effect was okay, Martin called Leonardo and Nicholson: "I'm going to have a fireworks show tonight, let's play together!" ”

As soon as the two of them heard the fireworks, they immediately remembered the mortars of the Pine Forest Studios, and they all responded.

As soon as it was dark, Leonardo and Nicholson drove to Martin's side.

Bruce had loaded all the modified cargo into the body of the pickup truck.

Martin got into the driver's seat and beckoned to the two bastards: "Hold on, let's go!" ”

Leonardo went to the back row, leaned on his seat and asked, "What fun did you do?" ”

Martin drove out: "You'll know when you go." ”

Nicholson's head was full of bastard thoughts: "Did you go to the place where Los Angeles fought the most?" I know where, a few hills in Malibu ......"

Martin was surprised: "Why go to that kind of place?" ”

"Fireworks, of course, to scare the bastards who are fighting in the field, so that the men's sponges tear and the women all cramp!" ”

Martin retorted, "I'm not you, how can I do such boring things." ”

Nicholson was furious: "Who did all that bad stuff at Pinewood Studios?" ”

"Didn't you and Meryl do it?" Martin asked Leonardo: "I'm not mistaken, right?" ”

Leonardo said seriously: "That's right, it was Jack and Meryl who did it, and the media reporters reported it." ”

Nicholson was angry, and the consequences were serious: "If you do bad things in the future, don't think about letting me carry it for you." ”

Martin said, "You look at the fireworks before you say that." ”

The pickup truck pulls into the community square, Martin has a brief conversation with Harold from the community council, and the car enters the cargo parking area.

Aniston, who had made an appointment before, also rushed over.

When it got dark, hundreds of people gathered in the huge square, and the community prepared fireworks, and some of the owners also brought fireworks and set them off in the fixed lighting area.

The three of Martin moved a few fire boxes to the edge of the fireworks area, took out a pack of fairy sticks, and gave them to Aniston.

The latter lit one and attracted many children.

Martin brought another large bag and said, "It's all the neighbor's kids, you give it to them." ”

Aniston doesn't like children, but it's not hard to split the fireworks sticks.

A group of children swirl around Aniston brandishing lit fairy sticks.

Joy is contagious, and Aniston suddenly discovers that these children are also cute.

But her attention is quickly drawn to the asshole trio.

Martin opened the box and pulled out a thick iron pipe with several slender fireworks sticks stuffed into the pipe.

Leonardo took one as well and asked, "What's new?" Kind of like Gatling. ”

Martin smiled and said, "It's called Gatling." ”

He and Lao Bu searched Chinatown and some fireworks vendors, but they couldn't find Gatling, so they had to modify it themselves.

"Jack, help me light the fire." Martin picked up Gatling.

Nicholson came over and lit the fuse.

Martin raised the muzzle of the Gatling gun, and after a puff of burning smoke, one brilliant fireworks flew into the night sky.

It's like Gatling firing tracer bullets.

"That's interesting!" Leonardo urged Nicholson: "Jack, give me something!" ”

Nicholson was also interested, and didn't care about Leon Andor at all, he picked up one himself, and shouted, "You can light it for me first." ”

These two bastards, not giving in to each other.

Aniston brought a heart-shaped fairy stick over and said, "I'll light the fire for you." ”

She lit Gatling to the two bastards with a fairy wand.

Like a weird grandfather, Nicholson yelled and picked up Gatling and shot it into the air.

This kind of romance can only be experienced by men.

Martin's Gatling was lit up and replaced with a new one.

Aniston came over and lit the fire.

Martin asked her, "Do you want to try it?" ”

Aniston shook her head: "It's more beautiful to watch." ”

Fireworks are for watching, you don't have to set off with your own hands.

Before this one was finished, a few people suddenly came over and asked, "...... your fireworks?"

Nicholson happened to be short and automatically answered: "Our takeout, $50 a piece." ”

The man paid for two.

The movement here attracted a lot of people, and when they saw the fireworks takeaway, more people came up.

Nicholson, the old bastard, as long as he is happy and shameless, takes the fireworks made by Martin and Bruce and goes to the takeaway, and the money he receives is not much, but this kind of selling other people's things to collect his own money has a different kind of coolness.

He also took the time to say to Martin and Aniston, "I'll have a treat later, and I'll ask you to wash your faces." ”

Aniston couldn't figure it out: "Wash your face? Do you do cosmetology? ”

Martin said, "Don't listen to Jack, he's not doing the right thing." ”

The three of them sold it in a row, and a few boxes quickly bottomed out.

When the last box was left, Nicholson sat down on it and said, "This box is mine!" ”

Leonardo asked, "What do you want this thing for?" ”

"The mountains on the other side of Malibu are sacred places for trysts." Nicholson said, "Leo, we'll go over there in a few days and blow up all those wild mandarin ducks!" ”

Leonardo agreed: "Good idea, see how many people go to the hospital then." ”

The two bastards were so angry that Martin hurriedly said, "I suddenly understood something. ”

Nicholson frowned: "What do you know, bastard?" ”

"So that's the truth about the Malibu wildfires!" As the third of the bastard trio, Martin is really the eldest and the second is heartbroken: "You two bastards did it!" ”

Nicholson and Leonardo understood what Martin meant.

Malibu is the site of a high incidence of fires, and Nicholson sighed: "It's only going to be set off in the studio." ”

Leonardo said: "All studios will drag you to the blacklist. ”

Nicholson didn't care: "I'm retiring soon, and I'm going to blow up every famous studio before I retire!" ”
