Chapter 456: Matchmaking
At the Hollywood Highland Center, a celebratory party hosted by the Screen Actors Guild is taking place.
Martin and Nicholson, each with a glass of wine, went up to the top of the second floor, just overlooking most of the party.
Nicholson pointed quietly, "Look at your left, they're coming." ”
"See." Martin discovers Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.
It's a party hosted by one of Hollywood's two major actors' unions, and many union members who aren't working come to attend.
After all, this is an organization that can really support actors at a critical time.
Nicholson asked, "Aren't you going up?" Ghana is in her early thirties, and she is Big Ben's wife......"
Martin ignored his gibberish and asked, "James Franco is here too?" ”
Nicholson seemed to be the commander of the campaign in control: "Lawrence came with him. ”
He looked down at the party and felt a sense of satisfaction in being in control: "Don't worry, Martin, it's all under my control." ”
Nicholson is old, and he has played more actresses than many people have seen on the screen, with a rich net worth and a huge variety of post-production shares, which is enough to live a very luxurious life, and the biggest pursuit after semi-retirement is happiness.
With Martin and Leonardo, he found the feeling of falling out on the Sunset Strip with Marlon Brando and Warren Beatty, and even had more fun than he had then.
Martin's phone vibrate, took it out and looked at it, answered and said two words, shrugged: "The debt collector is here." ”
It didn't take long for Julie and Aniston to come together.
The former kissed Martin's left cheek, and the latter, not to be outdone, kissed Martin's right cheek.
Nicholson said, "I've got something to do, so I'm leaving." ”
Martin nodded.
Nicholson gave Martin a thumbs up and took control.
He is the leader of this operation!
"You say we have another chance to show our faces?" After Aniston became the opinion leader of Rice Rabbit, her aura was obviously stronger than before: "Are you going to do something again?" ”
Martin pointed at Nicholson and framed him without hesitation: "It's him, not me." ”
Julie didn't believe it: "You're not good? ”
Martin came to the middle of the two and wrapped his arms around the waists of the two of them: "Of course, the benefits are for you, Pete is finished, Mi Rabbit has no suitable target, and the sense of presence is decreasing, Jack and I are going to get a new target out, so that you can have another good time." ”
Julie has been playing skillfully in the past few years, and she has also figured out the boundaries, saying: "Martin, you know, we can't take the initiative to touch some people or things in the circle, that's playing with fire. ”
Aniston disagrees with Jolie: "How could Martin let us go on an adventure?" ”
Julie rolled her eyes: "Idiot! ”
Aniston pulled up the corner of her skirt and was about to take off her high heels and smash people: "Waste! ”
Martin hurriedly reassured the two: "How can I be willing to let you go on an adventure?" Of course, after the media is widely exposed, you will join in. ”
Julie pressed one of her hands to Martin's chest: "My teacher, never disappoint. ”
Aniston laughed: "This is a lover's love for me, idiot!" ”
"Is your lover?" Julie's eyes lit up: "I like it." ”
She picked up Martin with one hand and Aniston with the other, and wanted to leave.
It's enough to show your face in this kind of place and give face to the union, how can it be important to go back to play, one or two people play, of course, it's not interesting for three people to play together.
Martin asked the two to wait for a while: "Don't worry, it's a long time tonight, let's watch the show first." ”
…………
On the first floor, Jennifer Lawrence put one hand around Franco's arm and said, "Teacher, there are so many stars here." ”
Looking at the silly girl who has only narrowed the distance in the past two days, Franco took out his usual words: "Study hard with me, practice hard, and with your talent and conditions, you have the opportunity to become one of them." ”
Lawrence, an eighteen-year-old girl, has a good talent for acting and knows how to act: "If I have a teacher to help me, I will definitely succeed." ”
This was said very sincerely, and Franco could hear it, and he was quite satisfied with this girl who was on the way.
The teacher in Lawrence's mouth is, of course, Jack Nicholson.
Franco said, "Jennifer, you're good, I didn't misread you. ”
Lawrence's eyes suddenly widened, he covered his mouth excitedly, his hands trembled with excitement, and he pointed to the right front and said, "Ben-Affleck!" Teacher, I see Ben Affleck! He's my favorite male star......"
Franco was a little unhappy, but showed a lot of generosity: "Let's go, I'll take you over to meet him." ”
"Okay, thank you." Lawrence was like a fan of his idol and couldn't wait to walk over there.
Franco and Big Ben are not familiar with each other, but they have been in the circle for many years, and they can be considered acquaintances, and they greet after passing: "Hey, Ben." ”
Jennifer Garner didn't know where he had gone, only Big Ben was here, and he looked a little and recognized Franco: "James, you look younger. ”
"Maybe Jennifer made me look a few years younger." Franco introduced the two.
Lawrence suppressed his excitement and said, "Ben, you're my favorite movie star, you're so cool in Pearl Harbor and Hollywood Manor!" ”
Big Ben was gracious on the occasion: "Thank you. ”
"Can you sign it for me?" Lawrence opened her handbag, took out a pen and notebook, and handed it to Big Ben, who smiled like a fool: "If you can, can you take a photo together?" ”
"No problem." Big Ben took the notebook and found that the cover was stamped with "Studio Four Acting School", and the headmaster's column below also had James Franco's signature.
He opened the notebook and signed it, and asked James to take a picture of him and Lawrence.
Lawrence laughed from start to finish, as if he had fulfilled an amazing wish.
Big Ben returned the pen and notebook to Lawrence and asked Franco, "When did you open an acting school?" ”
Franco smiled: "After the end of Spider-Man 3, with the popularity of the end of the trilogy, I created my own Studio 4 acting school, and I have been doing it ever since. ”
Lawrence took the opportunity to say, "I studied acting at James' school. She looked at James, her eyes full of adoration: "Originally, many of my sisters wanted to come to Studio Four, but James couldn't keep up. It's a pity that they can't afford to be James' students. ”
Looking at this silly little girl, Daben knows very well in his heart that it is precisely this kind of person who supports the market of Los Angeles acting schools.
Franco didn't care, just a topic that could be talked about: "I'm an actor who struggled from the bottom, and I always wanted to help actors like me, but my power alone is limited, and I can only barely do a little bit." ”
It was a beautiful thing to say, but Big Ben heard something else.
There are many people at the bottom who want to be stars, and they don't hesitate to spend a huge price for this, Franco has limited ability and can only seize a little bit of the market, and there are many low-level actors or people who want to be actors, waiting for these so-called opportunities.
Big Ben thought of what he had heard at Adler's school, the acting school, which was really very profitable.
The market is large, there are many consumers, there is no need to worry about no new customers, not to mention the high fees, the courses are still very short, and the fast classes can be completed in a week at most.
The rate of profit is fast enough, unlike investing in movies, where you don't see profits for two or three years
Big Ben asked seemingly casually, "It seems that your acting school is doing well." ”
Franco also had a bit of a pretentious mind, saying, "The acting school has helped me fulfill a lot of my wishes. ”
Big Ben originally had an idea, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say: "You may not know, I work part-time as an acting teacher at Adler School, and like you, I am helping new actors, I think we will have common topics in this regard, why don't we find a place to talk?" ”
Franco has been looking for like-minded people lately, and after a moment's thought, he responds, "Let's go upstairs and find a quiet lounge." ”
He looked at Lawrence, "I'm sorry, Jennifer, Ben and I have something to discuss, you can do whatever you want." ”
Lawrence smiled happily: "You can be busy, I'll drive by myself in a while." ”
Franco nodded to her, left the hall with Big Ben, and took the elevator upstairs.
In the crowd not far away, Nicholson was chatting with his old friend Al-Pacino about how to deal with his little girlfriend.
He had been paying part of his attention not far away, spotting the silhouette of Ben Affleck leaving with James Franco.
"Wait, Al!" Things are going well, and with him in control, Nicholson taunts his old friend: "You just said your new girlfriend was Lucilla Sora? I know her, almost 30 years old, so old. ”
Al Pacino snorted: "Almost 40 years younger than me." ”
Nicholson shook his head: "Do you know how old my new girlfriend is?" She is a post-90s generation! ”
"What a bastard you're in!" A string of swear words popped out of Al's mouth: "You even started to be a scourge after the 90s!" ”
Nicholson waved his hand: "So, you are outdated, you have to serve the old." ”
Al was furious: "You wait, soon I will find a younger girlfriend to make you look good!" ”
"I'll wait." Nicholson left unhurriedly.
He returns to the second floor to find that Martin is missing along with Julie and Aniston.
Don't think about it, those three must be going to do shameless things.
Nicholson, who was in a bad mood, found a quiet place, waited for a while, dialed Martin's phone, saw that no one answered, changed to another phone, and sent a text message.
"Emergency!"
Also signed JJN.
When Nicholson called again, Martin quickly connected: "Something happened? ”
Nicholson didn't speak, but turned up the volume of the earpiece to the maximum, faintly heard a wheezing voice, and said: "The main thing is to remind you to wear a condom, don't get me a godson or goddaughter next year." ”
"Falk Squid!" It was clearly Julie's voice that rang out over there.
Aniston's words then came over: "Jack, you're going to get hit by a car when you go out." ”
Satisfied, Nicholson hung up the phone and walked slowly out of the hall to the front door to get on the bus.
Something suddenly fell from the sky and smashed on Nicholson's head, and he reached out and wiped it, and his hands were full of bird droppings!
