In the spacious courtyard, Nicholson and Leonardo rubbed their buttocks, and one of them held a broom in his hand, pretending to help Martin clean up the yard.

Elizabeth stood on the inside of the villa door, looking at the two people curiously, and then turned to the front door Martin, unable to understand what these big stars looked like in private.

She also finds it strange about the friendship between men.

Martin briefly explained a few words to the LAPD who came to inquire about the situation outside the door, and the LAPD saw that there was no situation, reminded him not to affect the neighbors, and drove away.

Neighbor Jenna was embarrassed: "I thought there was an accident on your side, so I called the police." ”

Martin said: "It's okay, it's my friends who are making too much trouble. ”

Jenna was eager to ask about the copyright licensing of "Neverending", but it was too late to talk about it, and said, "I'm going back." ”

Martin waved his hand: "Good night." ”

Martin returned home after watching Jenna turn into the house, and after closing the door, he stared at Nicholson and Leonardo.

Nicholson didn't seem to see the mess in the yard: "Alright, the work is done, it's time to taste Martin's treasured wine." ”

Leonardo was angry at Martin kicking their ass, and made up his mind that he wouldn't return drunk tonight: "You said last time that you got a batch of good Oriental wine?" ”

Martin asked himself if he was a fool of all that matter, and said, "Come on, drink." ”

The two bastards came to the door of the villa, and when they saw Elizabeth, they were not embarrassed, but Nicholson asked, "Hey, why are you here?" ”

Martin was worried that Elizabeth would not be able to answer, and said: "I forgot my phone over there, and she sent it to me." ”

Leonardo glanced back, slightly surprised.

Elizabeth Olsen is too young and has never heard of having a boyfriend or husband or anything like that, which is logically not in line with Martin's usual aesthetic.

Martin went to the cellar to get a few bottles of wine, and when Elizabeth returned, she said goodbye.

"My sister called me and told me to go back early." She was reluctant and looked at Leonardo and Nicholson a little annoyed: "Martin, you send me out." ”

Martin handed Leonardo the wine and sent Elizabeth out.

The two bastards didn't come along.

Martin gave her to the car and said, "The three of us are used to messing around, don't mind." ”

Elizabeth minded in her heart, but didn't show it, and said with a smile: "It's okay. ”

She opened the car door, but didn't get into the car: "I'll call you again when I get back." ”

Martin nodded: "I'm always online." ”

Elizabeth wanted to get in the car, but she was unwilling, and her eighteenth birthday passed in a daze?

I've been waiting for nearly two years!

She turned around, spread her arms, and hugged Martin hard.

There was a soft touch on his chest, red lips in front of him, and as a good person, Martin would never refuse such a cruel thing that would make people hurt for a lifetime.

So, he kissed it without hesitation.

The two kissed wildly, Elizabeth felt Martin's strong attack, subconsciously took a step back, hit the car door, the door slammed shut, and she leaned against the car again.

After the kiss, Martin cupped her face: "I'll wait for your call." ”

Elizabeth nodded, and finally got into the car, which walked towards the gate, slow like a turtle.

The people in the car turned back frequently until they went out.

Martin went back, saw Leonardo and Nicholson, the two bastards, and asked, "You're not leaving?" ”

Nicholson fucked people tonight, but was fucked in the ass, this old bastard has no face and no skin: "I'm going to die here." ”

Martin glanced at Leonardo, saw that he was standing still, and opened a bottle of Moutai to make these two bastards look good.

As a result, the two were put on their stomachs by Martin.

Leonardo cried and shouted that Giselle Bonchen was my favorite.

Nicholson yelled that the most regrettable thing in his life was not taking advantage of Marlon Brando's youth and using buttery hands against his ass.

Martin filmed it, and the next day when the two bastards woke up, one of them sent them one.

The two eventually fled, and Martin, with the work ethic of a photographer, deleted the video footage entirely.

Later, he went to Davis' studio and met Thomas and Chard.

"Bad news." Thomas was the first to say: "Yuan Heping refused our invitation. ”

Chad said: "Hand-to-hand action fighting, the team in Hong Kong City, is indeed unique, even if Hollywood is studying them, there is still a distance." ”

Because of the relationship of time, Martin has a lot of memories of the "Fast Pursuit" series, and the hand-to-hand combat scenes, especially the third and third parts, Keanu Reeves is old, and his body is not well maintained enough, which is particularly clumsy, and the completion of the action is actually relatively poor.

Of course, this also has to do with the action design.

Chad's words continued: "I remember that Yuan Heping had a student who broke away from his team, and when he was filming the last two parts of The Matrix, it was that student who really trained the actors and acted as action directors. ”

Martin remembered that he looked like the one who filmed "Tai Chi Man", carefully recalled the name, and asked, "Chen Hu?" ”

"Yes, that's the name." Chad added: "Hollywood people call him Tiger. ”

Martin immediately said to Thomas: "Find a way to contact this tiger, as soon as possible." Chard, Tiger if you are willing to work with us, you are in charge of the interview, you are an expert in this area. ”

Chad responded, "No problem. ”

Thomas didn't know that there was such a person in the circle: "I'll first ask which agency he belongs to." ”

Later, Martin asked about the progress of the script, and Chad and Bradt had already started writing the first version of the script.

Bradt soon arrives to discuss the storyline with Martin and Chard.

Martin is very aware of the criticality of the topic of you want my dog's life and I want your dog's life, and the main story of the script strives to be concise and clear.

In addition, the first part also needs to build a world view of the high table a little.

As for whether it is linked with other films or something, it is also a matter after the success of the first film.

After Chad and Bradt left, Thomas and Martin went to the Warner Building together.

After Thomas contacted the crew of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", David Fincher asked to meet Martin and talk to him personally.

It was in an ordinary office in the Warner Building that Martin met the Hollywood director of noir.

The two exchanged a few words and got to the point.

David Fincher put it bluntly: "Originally, my first choice was Brad Pitt and I didn't think about anyone else, but unforeseen circumstances forced me to make other choices. ”

Martin knew that Pete had worked with Finch on Fight Club, and he couldn't compete with Pete on Finch's side under normal circumstances.

But Pete fell under the wave of Rice Rabbit.

"Last year, I heard that director Finch was working on this project." More than 90 percent of Martin's words are true: "I've read the original book and really like the character of Benjamin Button, he means something special to me. ”

robbed a woman to grab the endorsement fee, and then grabbed a representative movie and role, there is an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

Nicholson, who has been a jerk for decades, once summed up a lesson from experience: bastards always need to do some perverted things in order to be truly satisfied.

David Fincher was curious: "Special significance? ”

Martin quietly revealed his unique strengths: "Last year, I took on the film project "The Reader" directed by Sam Mendes, in which I played opposite Kate Winslet, the role of a man from 16 to 60 years old, this special acting experience gave me a lot of gains, and I wanted to challenge the role of a more layered role......"

David Fincher had heard of The Reader and said, "It's a rare experience. He asked, "What do you think of Benjamin Button's childhood?" ”

Fortunately, Martin recently read the original book carefully, and has some memory of that movie, thought about it for a while, and said: "My personal understanding of the characters, this stage includes the inquiry into human life and emotional vulnerability, Benjamin was surrounded by dying people in his childhood, and often faced death. ”

He tried to put himself in the role and experience it: "At that time, Benjamin was very low in mental maturity, just a child, and it was a huge psychological challenge, extremely difficult. I tried to think about what would happen if I was a child and faced with a large group of 85-year-olds. I'm probably going to crash. ”

David Fincher remained silent, was silent for a moment, decided to end the meeting, and said directly: "You participate in the third makeup audition, the audition time is confirmed, and I will notify your agent." ”

Martin knew it was time to say goodbye and said, "It was a very pleasant meeting and hopefully we can work together." ”

David Fincher shook Martin's hand and saw him off.

Martin joined Thomas and briefly recounted the conversation.

Thomas reminded: "David Fincher's film project is known in the industry for its long preparation time, and your audition will have to wait two months at the earliest, more than half a year later. ”

He added: "We also have an advantage in this project, Daniel, who has been working with us, is the head of distribution of the film, and has a certain say. ”

Martin said, "Just be patient. ”

Now, he focuses on two projects for roles, Nolan's Batman sequel, and this "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".

The two had just returned to Davis' studio when Louise came over from Pacific Pictures, diagonally across the street.

"I just replied to Alan Horn and turned down the investment invitation for the fourth part of 'Terminator.'"

In the office, Louise handed a copy of the script to Martin: "This is the script for Jonathan Nolan's Batman movie, currently codenamed Rory's First Kiss, and the official name of the project should be The Dark Knight." ”

Martin took the script and quickly flipped through it, and the main plot was what he remembered.

"Thank you, dear." He looked at Thomas again: "You find a suitable opportunity to reply to Alan Horn, just say that I want to prepare for two projects, and the schedule is not suitable." ”
