In the morning, Martin finally crawled out of the entanglement between Jolie and Aniston, picked up the mobile phone and turned it on, and sent a prompt text message, and someone called him continuously.

It's a good thing it's not Nicholson, otherwise he'd have rushed to Sunset Boulevard and set Nicholson's house on fire for everyone in Los Angeles to watch a daytime fireworks show.

Martin went to wash up first, carefully avoiding the scattered objects on the floor.

In addition to the clothes of the trio, there are also several clown statues of different shapes.

It's all Julie and Aniston who found out from him last night.

When he came out of the bathroom, he picked up his phone and called back.

The missed calls were all from his investment manager, Flynn, and the two had made an appointment to meet this morning, and Flynn was ready to rush over.

Martin hung up, Julie and Aniston were awake, looked at each other, and both turned back, neither of them wanting to talk to anyone.

"You continue to catch up on your beauty." Martin went back to the master bedroom to find formal clothes and reminded, "Please tidy up your room when you wake up." ”

Aniston was dissatisfied: "You're too bad, aren't you?" Played with us and asked us to tidy up your room? ”

Martin said: "Mainly, I have something to do. ”

Julie stretched out her legs: "Is there anything more important than this?" ”

"Blue sky and white day, don't mess with the hair salon, I have something to do." Martin didn't speak hard at this time, pointed to the clown statues scattered on the ground, and said, "These two can use whatever they want." ”

Before going out, he took another DV out: "Remember to take a picture, I'll enjoy it when I look back." ”

Aniston grabbed the pink kettle from the bedside table and threw it over.

Martin hurried out the door, only to hear a bang behind the door.

After changing into formal clothes and going downstairs, he waited a little while before a BMW drove into the manor and stopped on the side of the fountain.

Flynn sped into the villa with his briefcase in his hand.

Bruce ushered the man in.

Flynn greeted Martin and sat down on the couch next to him: "The last $5 million, after this period of operation, has been exchanged for Apple stock. ”

Martin has recently made up for this knowledge, at least has basic discernment, carefully read the voucher, and said: "Recently, I will transfer another $5 million, as before, to buy all Apple shares." ”

Flynn asked, "Do you want to think about anything else?" The first Apple stock you bought in 2006 has more than quadrupled by now, and in today's environment, Apple ......"

Martin thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy apples for the time being." ”

It was what he remembered best.

Martin is not a god, and he often came into contact with it in his previous life, so his memory is deep enough, and he thought for a while and asked, "I remember that there was a company called Netflix." ”

"A company in Silicon Valley," Flynn said. ”

"You can help me gather the relevant information." Martin has seen a lot of Netflix's works, which can be called a guarantee of quality in the early stage, but with the increase in the number of dramas and films filmed and produced, there will inevitably be a lot of bad dramas and bad movies.

Flynn replied, "I'll let people do it." ”

The sound of high heels hitting the ground was heard at the top of the stairs, and Martin and Flynn stopped talking about investing in stocks.

Julie and Aniston came down from the upper floor.

Flynn was somewhat stunned when he saw these two Hollywood A-list actresses appear, and secretly glanced at Martin with envy.

He is also well-informed, and he can see at a glance that Julie and Aniston have just gotten up and put on light makeup.

The gossip media is rumored that Martin often plays with Julie and Aniston in three people, but no tangible evidence has been caught.

Flynn is also the one who grew up watching "Friends", and said that Martin was too cool.

Julie tilted her head to look at Flynn, saw that it was an unfamiliar face, and said nothing.

Aniston dragged her with her to the restaurant.

Flynn didn't stay long, said a few more things about Netflix, and quickly left.

Martin's specially hired chef has already prepared breakfast.

He also went over and had breakfast with him.

Aniston took the knife and fork and looked out the window: "This house feels different to me. ”

Julie asked, "How long have you lived?" ”

Aniston whispered, "Less than a year, and then you'll ......"

With that, she clenched her knife and fork and stared at Julie's cocked chest, ready to plunge down to see if it was qi or blood coming out.

Julie raised the table knife in her hand: "Jane, you seem to have forgotten, I often shoot action movies, and I have practiced flying knives." ”

Martin said, "Okay, don't make a fuss, I still remember what I said yesterday." ”

Aniston was sure that she didn't need to take risks, but that it would be beneficial, and said, "For the sake of your hundreds of millions, I will help you." ”

"You were pushing hard yesterday." Julie's words were strange: "Jane pushed hard and I agreed." ”

With that in mind, Martin said, "Wait for news in the media." ”

Julie and Aniston left one after the other.

Martin went to Warner Studios and came to the Dark Knight studio to meet Nolan.

Now Nolan is in high spirits, and he is no longer the same as when he was under pressure.

Nolan trusted Martin in the hype and asked, "There's a thing, ask your opinion." ”

Martin nodded: "Just say." ”

"As the Dark Knight's screen time grows and the number of people who watch it increases, word-of-mouth inevitably declines." Nolan wants to push the box office higher: "The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes has dropped to 93%, I have an idea, now many film critics with Rotten Tomatoes are privately marking prices, should we make a move?" ”

Martin asked, "How much is a positive movie review?" ”

"$50." Nolan doesn't say that the numbers are high.

"Is it so low?" Martin scratched his head: "I thought it would cost $100." ”

Nolan said: "There are too many critics in Los Angeles and New York to count, Rotten Tomatoes spent money on tickets a few years ago, and now it has formed a business of a certain size, in fact, IMDB is also very common to spend money on scores." ”

Martin thought for a moment: "Maybe other films need it, but I don't think the Dark Knight needs it, the film has brought in a huge number of crazy fans, and with the right guidance, they will make a big splash on the Internet." ”

Nolan knew that Martin had a lot of ideas, and asked, "You have thought of a way again?" ”

"On IMDB, there is a TOP250 list of the best films, and now "The Godfather" and "The Dark Knight" are in the top two, and the positions are often reversed...... Martin roughly said what has happened, saying: "At present, fans on IMDB are voting wildly, and there has been a trend of confrontation. ”

Nolan immediately picked up the phone next to him, dialed it, and waited for a few minutes, and someone immediately called back.

He said: "You're right, the trend is obvious, fans of both films are on IMDB, crazy for their own films to get positive reviews and high scores, the momentum is getting stronger, even if we don't participate, there will be a lot of noise." ”

Martin told the truth: "I'm not sure if it's good or bad for the film. ”

"It's definitely going to attract more people's attention, but it's also going to lose a part of the audience," Nolan said. ”

He is one of the real leaders of the Dark Knight, and now he has a huge voice, and after only a little consideration, he said: "Any film, even the Godfather, Star Wars and Titanic, cannot please all audiences, there are gains and losses." ”

Martin didn't interject.

Nolan continued: "The North American box office trend is stable, it will definitely exceed $550 million, and the overseas response is a little worse. ”

Compared with Spider-Man 3, The Dark Knight's overseas box office proportion is low.

The former has 336 million in North America and 558 million overseas.

Martin asked, "I heard that the crew is going overseas to launch a propaganda offensive?" ”

Nolan nodded: "Mainly Europe and Latin America, this is also the Dark Knight's overseas potential of the largest market, over there in Europe, Emma will bring Bell and Michael Kane and others over, and the two of us will go to Latin America together." ”

It's a contract job, and Martin doesn't shy away: "There's no problem on my side. ”

On the afternoon of Martin's meeting with Nolan, many movie websites, including IMDB, posted that many enthusiastic Dark Knight "fans" proposed to go to IMDB together to give their favorite Dark Knight a high score, so that the Dark Knight could squeeze out the godfather and occupy the top position in the TOP250.

Once people like something to a certain point, they tend to be very impulsive and emotional.

A large number of fans poured into IMDB to frantically brush up high scores for the Dark Knight, allowing the Dark Knight to surpass The Godfather once again and reach the top of the TOP250.

Fans of The Godfather are not far behind, and have issued similar initiatives to regain the number one spot.

Public opinion on the Internet, with too many participants, is easy to get out of control.

Inevitably, the newly formed Dark Knight fan group and The Godfather's fan group quarreled, and both sides not only gave high marks to the films they supported, but also gave each other low and bad reviews.

The wave soon spread from IMDB to other websites and even attracted the attention of traditional media.

Once again, the Dark Knight is on the cusp.

By the time Martin was ready to leave Los Angeles and start his overseas propaganda journey, the two sides attacked each other, not to mention, and dragged the third-ranked "The Shawshank Redemption" into the battlefield.

Before leaving, Martin found Nicholson again.

"Jennifer has been staying at Franco's acting school and has been able to keep up to date with specific developments." Nicholson has had a lot of fun lately: "After Big Ben talked to James Franco that night, there was an initial cooperation accident, and the situation on Cassie's side, speeding up the cooperation. ”

"Cassie's lawyer had his first formal meeting with the victim's lawyer, and all the evidence was extremely unfavorable to Cassie, and if he couldn't reach a settlement, he would most likely go to jail for it, but Cassie, like you said, didn't have any money," he said. ”

Martin nodded: "So, Ben Affleck is going to work with James Franco?" ”

Nicholson smiled, just like the shining spirit of the year: "Do you have any use staying in Los Angeles, go to Latin America safely, I have the whole situation!" ”
