Chapter 394: Turning into a bald man
At Benjamin's studio, Elizabeth signed her name to the actor's contract and got her first real film role.
Caroline in her youth, the daughter of the hero and heroine Daisy.
When acting, you have to call Martin's father.
Thinking of this, Elizabeth scratched her face, and she had an indescribably strange feeling.
Do you want to go to Martin in advance to rehearse? Eighteen-year-old Elizabeth was full of thoughts: "Why don't you give Martin a call first and express my gratitude?" ”
Out of the office, the agent Martha reminded: "Liz, you can get this role, Martin is the key, don't forget to call in person to thank you." ”
Elizabeth had already taken out her mobile phone, picked it up and shook it, and said, "I'll call when I go out." ”
Out of the studio, she immediately called Martin's phone, waited until that side was connected, and said, "Martin, it's me, Elizabeth, do you have time at noon?" I want to treat you to lunch. ”
Martin replied, "There's time, where?" ”
"Sherman Oaks has a nice restaurant." Elizabeth cheerfully gave the address.
"No problem, we'll meet at the restaurant at half past eleven."
After receiving Martin's reply, Elizabeth couldn't help but speed up her feet, got into the battery car, hung up the phone, and called out to the agent: "Martha, hurry up." ”
Martha waved her hand: "You go first, I have other things." ”
Elizabeth stepped on the door of the store, and the battery car rushed out with a thud.
On the other side, on the roof of Nicholson's mansion, Martin swung his club, and the golf ball he hit flew out dozens of meters, slamming into the iron bucket in the yard.
Leonardo laughed: "The challenge fails, you lose!" ”
Martin put down his club, pulled out five dollars, and shoved it into Leonardo's hand: "You win." ”
Nicholson said: "If there is progress, just practice more." ”
Leonardo remembered one thing: "Jack, do we still have a handicap?" ”
Nicholson is old and doesn't have such a good memory: "What handicap?" ”
"About Weinstein." Leonardo reminded: "Georgina Chapman. ”
Nicholson remembered, calculated a little, and said, "It's not time yet." ”
Martin packed up his things: "These things you are talking about have nothing to do with me. ”
"You were going to bet on that too." Leonardo said.
Martin faintly heard something, looked at the mansion on the other side of Nicholson's house, and changed the subject: "There are people moving things out of Marlon Brando, and there is a van. ”
"That house was sold when Malone was alive, and the alimony and lawsuits for several children drained all his savings and assets, and he also used the copyright income as collateral to borrow a large amount of money from the bank, and finally he was unable to repay the loan, and even the union share was gone, so he had to move to an RV and live on the basic benefits of the actors' union," Nicholson said. ”
Martin reminded: "We must not be mixed up like this in the future. ”
Leonardo nodded repeatedly, pointed to his neighbor on the other side of Nicholson, and said, "We're going to be Warren Beatty." ”
Martin scoffed: "You actually betrayed the trio and wanted to get married!" ”
Leonardo then remembered that Warren Beatty finally got married, and quickly changed his words: "Warren Beatty before marriage." ”
He didn't forget to bury Martin: "You don't think about buying Malone's house? Your house on Coty Road is too small to throw a party. ”
"Let's wait to change houses." Martin glanced at his watch: "I won't talk to you, I have an appointment at noon." ”
Nicholson answered, "I heard your call, don't you think about taking the two of us over?" With our assists, you'll be able to do it in the afternoon. ”
Leonardo grabbed Martin's shoulder: "You won't get carried away, leave the two old brothers here, and run to date the beautiful woman yourself, right?" ”
Nicholson run: "Martin certainly wasn't that kind of person. He was not polite at all, picked up his coat and left: "Leo, hurry up, you can't keep the lady waiting for a long time." ”
"Wait!" Martin stopped them and said, "The beauty said that this is a date between two people, and you can't bring a third person to the scene." ”
He didn't want to bring these two goods again: "This time is different, I'll go to explore the road first, and if I need your help, I'll call you as soon as possible." Compared with the two of you, I have less experience, poor technology, and little capital, so I will definitely ask you for advice. ”
Leonardo also just made a gesture, Nicholson was not worried, he still had to hold a little.
If he really makes trouble, when he picks up girls, Martin, a rotten person, will definitely dare to make a ton of fireworks to light the fire.
"Forget it, good luck." Leonardo waved his hand casually.
Martin then said to Nicholson: "Don't forget our agreement, it's not appropriate for us to be out together right now." ”
Nicholson nodded: "That's right, wait until the Dark Knight is released." ”
Martin hurried away, and called Bruce as he went downstairs, and when he came to the door of the villa, Bruce had already driven the car over.
After getting into the car, Martin said the address and advised, "Go around two more times, and be careful that those two guys follow." ”
The car pulled out of the gate, and Brewster took two turns to make sure Nicholson and Leonardo weren't following before rushing to Sherman Oakes.
Not at ease, Martin turned his head and stared at it for a while, but found nothing else, but found that the van in the yard of Marlon Brando had turned north from a three-way intersection.
This reminded him of what Leonardo said about the house and the party, and asked, "Shall we change to a bigger house?" ”
Bruce said, "Too small now? ”
"Let's wait until next year," Martin said. ”
Bruce suddenly remembered something and said: "Pete's side reached a settlement with several victims and will pay a considerable amount of money, I heard that he did not have enough cash on hand and sold several properties on the East Coast. ”
"Lao Bu, if you catch Pete and masturbate alone, Pete will become bald." That's what Martin said, but thought it would be worth paying attention to.
He asked, "I remember Pete had a super mansion in Beverly Hills?" ”
Bruce pays attention to Pitt from time to time and knows more, saying: "In 2001, before Pitt married Aniston, he spent nearly $13 million to buy a super mansion, which belongs to his pre-marital property and is also Pitt's current residence. ”
Martin pondered, is it a good person to do it to the end?
Bruce added: "The mansion was built in 1934, and when Pete bought it, the house was relatively dilapidated, and he asked a company to renovate it, and it cost tens of millions of dollars. ”
Martin made the decision: "Let Ivan keep an eye on that side, and remember to inform me if Pete is going to sell this mansion." ”
Bruce said: "I think Pete will thank you for taking into account his worries in advance. ”
Martin has the consciousness of being a good person: "If Pete is in a hurry to sell at a low price, we will help him." If he doesn't sell it, then I'll talk about it later. ”
Soon, the car arrived in the business district of Sherman Oaks and stopped in front of a French restaurant.
Martin got out of the car and entered the restaurant, and before he could ask the waiter, he saw Elizabeth Olsen in a white dress walking briskly.
"You're here." Elizabeth has a sweet smile on her face, and her extremely well-fitting white skirt highlights the delicate curves of youth.
Martin gestured to make a call: "I received your call and rushed over immediately." ”
Elizabeth walked to the booth and invited Martin to sit down, sat down across from him, deliberately raised her head and said, "When I was on the phone, I seemed to hear Leonardo's voice, he and Jack Nicholson ......"
"They didn't come." Martin smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry for what happened last time." ”
Speaking of last time, Elizabeth felt a little uncomfortable, she had been preparing for so long, but she was disrupted, and Martin didn't take the initiative to ask her out to explain well.
Martin can roughly guess Elizabeth's thoughts, and specifically said: "In February, I took over a role, locked myself in the hotel for more than 40 days, cut off contact with the outside, and have been studying the role. ”
Elizabeth remembered and said, "Joker? Nicholson is still fighting with you about this? ”
Martin said solemnly: "This role is really difficult to grasp, it is easy to get into the mentality, I am completely caught up in the role, and even my mental state is wrong, and when the crew scared a lot of people, Maggie Gyllenshill and Michael Kane played against me, I was scared and forgot to say anything." ”
He was helpless: "This is a terrible character, when the Dark Knight releases the trailer, you will be able to see that I got into the play too deeply, forgot everything, only had the clown in my mind, and even let Bale, who was also too deep in the play, do something to me during non-filming time......"
Elizabeth covered her mouth in surprise, she was an insider herself and had heard of similar examples, which was not particularly rare in Hollywood.
"The crew kept this matter a secret, I ......" Martin paused: "I just want to explain it to you clearly." ”
Elizabeth nodded vigorously: "I will never tell anyone." She asked with concern, "Are you feeling better now?" ”
Martin told the truth: "I go to the psychiatric clinic every week, and the problem is not particularly serious. ”
Elizabeth thought of the rumors in the circle, many people who have worked with Martin said that he is a dedicated and good actor, and said: "Martin, you work too hard." ”
Then, there was some envy: "How good it would be if I could have half of your acting talent." ”
Martin encouraged, "You're also very good, we've worked together, and I know how good you are, given the right opportunity, Elizabeth, and maybe you'll be more famous than your sisters." ”
This is a nice sound, Elizabeth smiled sweetly unconsciously: "I hope so, thank you for your encouragement." By the way, I also want to thank you specifically, I got the role of young Caroline, and Thomas said you said hello to the crew. ”
Martin smiled: "A little thing, don't take it to heart, we are friends." ”
"I owe you so many times." Elizabeth beckoned the waiter to order.
The two returned to the previous and chatted enthusiastically.
