Chapter 465: The Party Gets Started

At Los Angeles International Airport, Elizabeth Olsen came out of the exit and saw a large number of reporters taking pictures around people, and the person who was photographed was tall and holding a large cluster of roses, it was Martin.

Throwing the luggage to her twin brother James and the backpack to her two sisters, Elizabeth separated the crowd and ran towards Martin.

Reporters had already seen the two pairs of twins in Olson's family, and immediately some reporters turned their cameras to take pictures.

Elizabeth's smile was clean and sweet, and the reporters' mood improved.

Their fingers pressed the shutter of their cameras with more force.

Martin hurried to meet Elizabeth, who ran over and hugged him hesitantly.

"You don't come to London to see me!" She grumbled deliberately.

Martin didn't explain much, first gave the flowers to Elizabeth, and then came a deep kiss.

When the long kiss was over, Elizabeth didn't say anything, she just wanted to accompany Martin home.

Martin couldn't just go like this, so he went over to greet the three Olsen siblings and asked for Elizabeth's luggage, and then he got to the old Escalade.

In the car, Elizabeth was very concerned and asked, "Are you all equipped with housekeepers, servants and cooks?" ”

Martin said, "Don't worry, everything is there." ”

Elizabeth said, "Guess where I went in London this time?" ”

Martin thought for a moment and asked, "Buckingham Palace?" ”

"Yes, Buckingham Palace!" Elizabeth resembles most Americans in some ways, and she seems very excited: "I met the queen and the crown prince with the advantage of my two sisters. ”

Martin said: "Crown Prince for 50 years. ”

Elizabeth said, "It feels a bit like Thomas." ”

Martin wondered, "Where is he like Thomas?" ”

Elizabeth said solemnly, "Forehead." β€œ

Both Martin and Bruce, who was driving, laughed.

Back at her home in Beverly Hills, Elizabeth opened her backpack, pulled out a box from it, and handed it to Bruce: "A gift for you." ”

Bruce took it: "And my gift?" You're a lot better than Martin, this bastard...... Well, he never gives me gifts. ”

Martin gave him a middle finger: "Because you're an ugly man." ”

Elizabeth just laughed, she knew how much Lao Bu and Martin were to each other.

At the beginning of Burbank Middle School, one dared to stay and fight desperately, and the other dared to sacrifice his life to save him.

Elizabeth even had a feeling that if Martin had to choose only one between her and Lao Bu, Martin would definitely choose Lao Bu.

Of course, she wasn't that stupid to ask such a stupid question.

Martin asked, "Don't I have a gift?" ”

Elizabeth jumped up and hung on him: "The gift is delivered!" ”

Martin carried the man and went into the bedroom on the first floor.

Elizabeth then learned that Martin had done so much in secret.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Have you never held a housewarming party?" ”

Now that Elizabeth has moved in, Martin simply said: "The hostess has not been at home, how can it be held?" ”

Elizabeth smiled brighter and brighter: "I'm back, why don't you ask your friends to bring their relatives and come to us as guests?" ”

Martin remembered: "By the way, and the neighbors, let's take the time to visit and send out invitations by the way." ”

Elizabeth hurriedly got dressed and called Martin's recently hired butler to discuss throwing a party.

In this regard, Hollywood has professional companies, as long as they are willing to spend money, the host only needs to draw up a guest list.

In the afternoon, Martin and Elizabeth went together to visit their neighbors.

The houses on the left and right, one side is on the list for sale, and there have been people looking at the houses from time to time recently.

On the other side lives Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, who went out to shoot when Martin was decorating here, and she went out to shoot before moving over, and just came back recently.

Charlize was a little surprised to see Martin and Elizabeth, who came to visit.

"Please forgive me for taking the liberty of coming to the door." Martin smiled and said, "One of my sisters came to visit, before you went out to work the last time. ”

Charlize accepted the red wine from Elizabeth and said, "I remember her, Lily, pretty and interesting girl. ”

Elizabeth said: "We just moved in and are going to have a housewarming party over the weekend, and we want to invite friends and neighbors to attend. ”

Charlize smiled and said, "As long as there is nothing special, I will participate." ”

Compared with those American Oscar actresses, her development after winning the Oscars was not smooth, and she was ambitious after "The Female Devil" wanted to hit the 20 million club, but the first film cut off this road.

Charlize Theron also wants to broaden her network.

At this time, a man came down the stairs, holding his pocket in one hand and holding the railing in the other, and asked, "Sally, are there any guests?" ”

"Our neighbor, Martin." Charlize went on to introduce Martin: "Stuart Townshend, my fiancΓ©. ”

Martin extended another invitation to him, and duly offered his farewell.

Elizabeth followed Martin out of Charlize's house, saying: "She is an actress I like very much, and there was a time when I thought she was extremely beautiful, and I fantasized about being half as beautiful as she when I grew up." ”

Martin took Elizabeth's hand and said, "You're prettier than her now." ”

"You're really good at talking." Elizabeth smiled: "Charlize is certified by Hawking, even in an infinite parallel universe, you can't date Charlize Theron." β€œ

The two sides were not far apart, and the two walked back to their home, and by the way, they asked the other side, where the house was still not sold.

The economy in the United States is not in good shape, Hollywood is short of money on a large scale, the number of crew starts is much less than in previous years, and the luxury housing market in Los Angeles is also sluggish.

Martin originally wanted to invite friends and family, but Nicholson suggested that he invite a few more old guys, especially old white guys like Warren Beatty.

The purpose is very simple, the awards season has begun, and it doesn't hurt to have more friendships with the old white men.

Martin did things simply, inviting not only a large number of old white men, but also film critics led by Kenneth Turan and Todd McCarthy.

In addition, he made a special trip to the WMA and sent invitations to the likes of Ali Emmanuel and Jim Witt.

Naturally, Nolan and the Dark Knight crew are indispensable.

Even David Fincher, Martin made the call personally.

Someone who came was sure to give a small gift, and Martin asked Elizabeth to prepare a suitable gift in return, and Cartier sponsored some of Martin's trinkets.

This is a housewarming party, not canvassing for votes, and no one can say anything.

As for what to talk about at the party, that's the freedom of the guests.

"The expenses are a little scary."

In the living room, Elizabeth made a simple budget and said: "The quality of the drinks should not be low, although few people eat at this kind of party, but we still have to prepare a rich buffet, invite a band, the courtyard should be properly decorated, and there will be labor costs......"

She calculated, "For less than $300,000, this party won't work." ”

Martin said: "The prep party doesn't know much about me, you just do it, and I'll sign the bill." ”

Elizabeth looked at Martin and then at Bruce, "You really don't know how to prepare a party?" ”

Bruce didn't speak, and said in his heart that the party that Martin had prepared was not suitable for this kind of occasion.

He still remembers how Martin impressed Wes Craven with a unique party.

Martin was modest: "When I prepare a party, it will only turn into a simple and crude drinking party, and some old guys are not very good at drinking, and I am afraid that they will get drunk and make a fool of themselves." ”

Elizabeth said: "In the past, the family organized a party, and it was all my sisters who worried about it, and it turned out that the cost was so large. ”

Lily, who came in from outside, happened to hear their words and came up with an idea: "You can sell invitations to the outside world, I often see some people in the academy, selling party invitations for famous artists or big stars, ranging from a hundred dollars to several thousand dollars depending on their fame and status." ”

She came to Martin's neighborhood: "At your level, a party invitation for $5,000 will sell well." β€œ

Elizabeth shook her head and covered her face, unable to figure out what kind of brain circuit Lily was.

She felt that many times, Lily was deliberately provoking Martin.

Sure enough, Martin stood up, clenched his fists, and said, "Hold back, don't cry out in pain!" ”

"Hey, can you be reasonable, I'm helping you with ideas." Lily's face was full of grievances: "My idea is not good, you can say it, don't hit people at every turn." ”

Martin sat down and said, "Although it's been more than a month since Labor Day, I decided to make up a gift for you, and next month's Thanksgiving, the gift will be given to you in advance." Forget it, Christmas and New Year's gifts are also given together. ”

Lily was self-conscious and asked, "How many tons of horn?" ”

Martin said directly: "Lao Bu, all the goods in the inventory of your import and export company will be given to Lily!" ”
