In the middle of the afternoon, Martin came out of Louise's house and returned to his home on Sunset Boulevard North, and after a little waiting, Nicholson and Leonardo came one after another.

After viewing Martin's new home, the three of them came to drink tea under the European-style gazebo in the back garden.

Leonardo exclaimed: "Buy here for $12 million, you make too much!" Martin, where else is there such a property, you must introduce it to me. ”

Without waiting for Martin to answer, Nicholson said: "You have to find a rich man like Pete first, and then let him be riddled with problems and break the liquidity chain before you have a chance." ”

Leonardo picked up a cup of tea, took a sip and changed the subject: "Does Lily have any large-scale sculptures?" While her works are still cheap, I want to buy at a low price and wait for the appreciation. ”

"Not yet, but she knows you want it and will definitely do it." Martin poured Leonardo black tea again: "She is still a newcomer, her works want to appreciate, you, a famous collector in Hollywood, have good things to say for her." ”

Although he likes to hit Lily, when it comes to business, Martin is still very reliable.

Leonardo replied, "No problem. ”

Martin asked Nicholson, "What's going on with Adler's acting school?" ”

"It's interesting." Nicholson used to be one of Adler's students, and there were plenty of channels to inquire about Adler's acting school: "Ben Affleck was introduced to the school by Judy Dench as a part-time teacher, and he directly chose your little girlfriend's group to teach the course. ”

Leonardo answered: "I can figure out the evil intentions that this contains with my ass." He looked at Martin and couldn't wait to ask, "Don't you have an idea?" ”

"Yes!" Martin is a person who wants to make a lot of waves without wind, not to mention that the other party wants to secretly mess with him, not to mention, the target is still on Elizabeth.

He said directly: "I have come up with a good idea! Leo, I remember Jennifer Garner with blonde brown hair, height and long legs, in line with your usual aesthetic, you brave on it! ”

Leonardo didn't refute, but said the other aspect: "Jennifer Garner is over 30 years old and out of my range. ”

Nicholson and Leonardo looked at Martin at the same time, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

When others wanted to talk about it, Martin got down to business: "Ben Affleck's side isn't easy to do for the time being, but his brother Cassie, I have some ideas." ”

Leonardo's mouth opened wide in shock, and deliberately moved his chair away from Martin: "You actually ......"

"Shut up, Leo! I'm getting down to business. Martin gave Cassie a rough idea of what he had done to buy Lily's sculpture.

Nicholson said: "He's not a loss, is he? After this recent wave of popularity, Lily's works will definitely have a market. ”

"I was worried that something would happen to Lily, so I secretly sent bodyguards to follow Casey Affleck for a few days, and he smashed everything he bought and threw it in the trash can outside the house," Martin said. ”

He sighed: "I guess I was very stimulated. ”

Nicholson understood: "You mean to stimulate him a little more?" ”

Martin shrugged: "No way, Big Ben is not easy to do, the core members of the Foot Gang also have a certain status in the circle, and it is not that we can make him embarrassed by saying a few words." ”

Leonardo agreed: "Big Ben has been famous for more than ten years, and there are Harvey and Matt Damon behind him, not ordinary Hollywood stars. ”

He reminded: "If you are an ordinary Hollywood star, you can mess up several works one after another, how can you still get a film contract, and find the opportunity to be in charge of a 10 million dollar project." ”

Martin said directly: "Engage in small ones first, and then create opportunities to make big ones after doing small ones." ”

Hearing that instead of waiting, but creating, Nicholson asked, "Have you figured out a way?" ”

"It's a bit of an eyebrow, and I need some help from your relationship at Adler's acting school." Martin spoke up for thought.

Nicholson was interested: "Then try it, no, we have nothing to lose." ”

Martin glanced at the time, got up and said, "Let's go, go out for a walk, and by the way, I'll take you to see a good show, my people have been staring at Cassie lately." ”

"Good!" Leonardo said, "Where is your wine cellar?" I'll go get a good bottle of wine, and we'll see it while we get there. ”

Nicholson laughed, "A good show is best with wine." ”

Leonardo went to the underground cellar to get a bottle of Cabesar tequila, drove a regular Chevrolet, and left the estate together.

On the way, Martin calls Bruce and asks Leonardo, who is driving, to go to the old Santa Monica pier.

Near the dock, the Ford followed Bruce's instructions and parked at the edge of the highest parking lot, with a public phone booth nearby.

The three of them sat in the car and looked over, and less than twenty meters away was the old trestle bridge of the pier.

It used to be a tourist destination, the western terminus of the famous Route 66, but it fell along with Route 66.

There are not many tourists near the pier, and they are sparse.

Soon, Bruce came over too.

He lowered his head and got into the car and said, "If nothing else, people will arrive soon." ”

"It's all arranged?" Martin asked.

Bruce roughly said: "The salesman and the videographer are all from Ivan, no problem." ”

Hearing the cameraman, Nicholson said, "Why don't you let Lorraine come over and take pictures, and sell them to TMZ to earn an pocket money." ”

Leonardo couldn't help but say, "Jack, you're such a good father. ”

Martin said, "Yes, but you let her shoot a little farther away." ”

Nicholson laughed: "Don't worry, Lorraine has recently studied photography carefully in order to earn more pocket money." ”

Leonardo asked, "You didn't consider letting her change careers." ”

Martin said: "Lorraine is a paparazzi, specializing in secretly filming Nicholson's privacy for money, a perfect closed loop of the industrial chain. ”

"It's more money than secretly filming you." Not to be outdone, Nicholson was not to be outdone.

Leonardo asked him, "Aren't you afraid that Lorraine, the little sheep, will be sent into the mouth of Martin's big bad wolf for nothing?" “

Martin immediately stood on the moral high ground: "Jack, I treat you as a brother on horseback, but you calculate me like this? ”

Nicholson was momentarily speechless by the bastard's shameless face.

It didn't take long for a car to come in from a distance and stop near the trestle.

Cassie Affleck got out of the car, carried a bottle of wine to the beach, lay on the guardrail of the trestle, bit off the cap and poured it into his mouth.

The sun that fell into the sea, with a few afterglows left, fell on his face, and a gust of sea breeze blew, and his hair turned into a bird's nest, and he was decadent like a harmless vagabond.

Just like Martin is a sunny man on the outside, Hollywood stars have always done one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back.

Cassie wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and suddenly saw several tourists with their faces painted as clowns walking by, thought of a person, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Lily Carter! ”

He decided, sober up these days, and then went to the California Institute of the Arts to find that Lily Carter.

There must always be a beginning and an end to doing things.

After the clown tourists were gone, another tourist came.

He sat on a nearby bench with his bag on one side, facing Cassie.

A young man in a fat coat came from the other side, and when he saw Cassie, he walked over quickly and said, "Hey, man, do you want something?" ”

Cassie looked at the man's outfit and thought he was a peddler, and asked, "Got good goods?" ”

The young man came over and said mysteriously: "Top goodies." ”

Cassie is familiar with this, and said directly: "Take it out and take a look first, I will buy it if it suits." ”

The young man took out a paper bag from under his coat, untied it and showed Cassie: "The hottest and most sought-after item on the market right now, absolutely good." ”

What Cassie sees is a hand-carved version of the Coke God Cult version of the Joker, the Dark Knight's Joker.

The young man deliberately asked Cassie to look at the statue's feet: "Lily Carter's name, absolutely authentic!" ”

The moment he heard the name, Cassie was even more decadent.

The young man enthusiastically sells: "Lily Carter is a new generation of master carvers, even many Hollywood artists are collecting her works, and the limited edition clown she carved by herself has a lot of room for appreciation in the future, definitely comparable to the original version of Darth Vader!" ”

Cassie took a sip of wine and waved her hand again, "I don't need it." ”

The young man didn't give up, and continued: "Man, it's a rare opportunity, and if you buy it, you can make money!" Idiots will miss this kind of artwork with huge appreciation space! ”

Cassie stopped moving, looking at the young man like a statue.

The latter is still gushing: "A friend of mine, who was very lucky, bought a few Lily Carter works, but he had a problem with his head, he was deceived by extreme environmentalists, he insisted on paying attention to environmentally friendly materials, smashed all the statues into pieces, and a fool like him, even if he begged me to sell them, I would not sell them to him!" ”

Cassie looked at the young man in a daze, as if he were looking at the statues he had bought.

The young man continued: "How stupid do you say he is? was deceived first, and then smashed a huge value of art, pigs are smarter than him! ”

Cassie is sure this guy is a statue!

He didn't hesitate at all, there was not even a sign of anger on his face, as if he had smashed the statue that day, he picked up the wine bottle and smashed it at the young man!

The young man ducked his head, but not his shoulder, and with a scream, he fell to the ground.

Cassie's bottle flew from his hand, but he didn't stop, and he kicked the young man who fell to the ground.

The young man held his head, tightened his body, and yelled, "Are you sick when you step on a horse?" ”

He tore open his throat: "Help! Help me! ”

Not far away, the sparse crowd of tourists is looking this way.

At the top of the parking lot, the three of them drank fine wine, watched the show, and were full of interest.

Martin drained the glass and asked, "Who would want to be a good citizen of Los Angeles?" ”

Leonardo was just about to get up, but was pulled by Nicholson: "I've lived in Los Angeles for so many years, and the whole Sunset Boulevard praises me for being good, and I'm proud to have a good neighbor like me, this good citizen must let me do it!" ”

As he spoke, he got out of the car, ran to the public phone booth, and dialed 911.

It's close to the Santa Monica Seaside Villas, and the police cars come very quickly.

Nicholson learns from Martin and does good deeds without leaving a name, hears a siren in the distance, gets into the car and says, "Let's go, change places!" ”
