The next morning, Martin met Steven Soderbergh, who had come all the way to the Davis Studios office.

accompanied by the bald director, as well as an acquaintance of Martin, old neighbor Jenna Jones.

Soderbergh explains: "Jenna is the heroine I finalized for the experimental film. ”

Martin shook Jenna's hand and said, "I haven't seen you in a while, but your father is good." ”

"He's very good, he also attended the AVN awards ceremony some time ago, and I saw myself win another award." Jenna smiled and said, "You don't come back to see our neighbors after you move." “

Martin also smiled: "I invite you to have dinner with Mr. Jones and Gillian another day." ”

After a few polite words, the three of them turned to the topic.

Soderbergh is arguably the most experimental of Hollywood's first-line film directors, often making some very avant-garde, very bold short films or experimental films.

Experimental type of projects, it is impossible to make a profit, and Soderbergh, of course, does not invest money himself, and has always solicited sponsorship everywhere.

If it weren't for the South Koreans' money, Martin wouldn't have invested in his films.

It is impossible for theaters to be released, and it may take five or six years or even longer to recoup the cost of throwing DVDs and videotapes on the market.

Soderbergh's experimental film was originally set in Manhattan, New York, with a high-level call as the protagonist and setting, because it involved super-large-scale shots, even in Hollywood, where stripping naked is as common as eating and drinking, it is difficult to find a suitable actress, so he simply went to the Holy Valley to choose someone.

Naturally, Jenna, who is known as the best actor in the Sacred Valley, was selected, and the story was simply adjusted according to Jenna's background, and it was placed in the Sacred Valley and Los Angeles areas, and the setting of the heroine also became the dual identity of the Sacred Valley artist and senior call.

This is also the most real situation of the actresses in the Holy Valley, playing art while also doing some part-time jobs.

As for the thematic depth and deep meaning of Soderbergh's experimental films, Martin seems to be listening very carefully, but in fact he doesn't care at all.

Martin borrowed Soderbergh's fame and it was not difficult to call in the investment of the Koreans.

And he asked people to communicate with the South Korean side, and the South Korean side was also willing to pay money.

Martin had his finger on the pulse of the stick film industry when he went to South Korea, and some of them and companies had their sights set on the Oscars after winning awards at the three major European film festivals.

I think the lollipops at Dad's house are even better.

If a foreign film wants to win an Oscar heavyweight, it definitely needs film art, but the more critical factor - where the ass sits.

Soderbergh only had $1.8 million to invest, and after Martin mentioned Cannes, he happily offered to help call Isabelle Huppert.

Although the two have never worked together, they have had a certain friendship in the nineties.

Isabelle Huppert is the president of the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Martin is not very familiar with pure European filmmakers, and the biggest impression left on him by Isabelle Huppert in his previous life was the shocking "Mother, the Limits of Love", and even the Cannes Film Festival, which was open enough to dare to show films such as 3 farts, refused to participate in the exhibition.

Soderbergh was the first to leave, but Jenna, the heroine of his new film, stayed.

It's not the first time that the two sides have cooperated, and Jenna asked directly: "Can you talk about the adaptation rights of the Sacred Valley version of the fast pursuit?" ”

Martin nodded: "You go talk to Jessica." ”

Jenna said one more thing: "You're friends with Julie and Aniston, right?" ”

This gossip is not only well-known in the United States, but also widely circulated, and Martin has no need to deny it: "The relationship is not bad." ”

"I heard a message some time ago." The company in which Jenna has a stake is one of the largest companies in the Sacred Valley, and she can get a lot of the latest news in that circle.

"The company next door to me is said to be signing Brad Pitt and using him as the core to create a super series," she said. ”

Martin was somewhat surprised: "Pete went to the Sacred Valley? ”

Jenna elaborated: "The news was once very popular in my circle, and people like Jenner, Kayden, and Jessica were very eager to work with Pete. ”

Her voice changed: "Originally, he may have signed a contract, but recently came out of the news, Pete rejected the lucrative contract, saying that he was going to return to Hollywood, and now there are still people in Hollywood looking for him to make movies?" ”

Martin shook his head slightly, Rice Rabbit, the largest feminist organization in Hollywood, the two major opinion leaders Julie and Aniston, one is Pete's ex-girlfriend and the other is Pitt's ex-wife, and he can't wait to throw Pete into the Pacific Ocean to feed the fish.

As long as the crew is enabled, Mi Rabbit will inevitably attack it in groups.

Martin asked rhetorically, "Haven't you heard what he's going to do when he returns to Hollywood?" ”

"Nope." Jenna told the truth: "The company that wants to sign Pitt is our competitor. ”

Martin said, "Do me a favor, come back to your circle and ask about Pete, and call me if there is any new news." ”

Jenna replied: "No problem." ”

With this in mind, Martin called Bruce and Thomas to get an update on Pete's condition.

Also, ask Bruce to find a professional female bodyguard to follow Lily and Elizabeth.

Martin thought for a moment and called Julie and Aniston separately.

There was nothing unusual on their side, and instead they asked Martin to go to the hotel to play poker together.

Martin was so enthusiastic that he had to go to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

Unlike before, both men were vying for a spot in front of Martin this time, allowing the other to push Martin's back.

After several attempts, they found that the position in front of them was the most comfortable.

The one that is pushed in the back, the more force you use, the more cool the one in front will be.

Julie and Aniston quarrel over this.

Martin held them down and each of them smacked the face a few times before they were able to take turns switching places in a secure manner.

After playing poker, the three of them had lunch together.

There weren't many people in the hotel restaurant, and Aniston said as she ate, "You don't have to worry about Pete's side, he'll be completely finished soon." ”

Julie chimed in: "You'll never be able to turn over!" ”

Martin swallowed the steak in his mouth and asked, "What did you do that I don't know?" ”

Aniston and Julie looked at each other and smiled, no longer noisy and like enemies, but had a special tacit understanding of people with the same roots.

Martin deliberately lowered his face: "Don't sell it, hurry up and confess, or you will be slapped in the face with a stick!" ”

Julie laughed eating: "We like to slap the face with a stick, so don't say it!" ”

Or Aniston was more obedient to Martin, saying: "After I married Pete, the property has always been separated, a few years ago when the real estate boom, Pete took tens of millions of working capital to invest in Fannie Mae, last year's economic recession, Fannie Mae was forced to delist, Pete's shares could not be realized." ”

Martin had also heard about this, and immediately nodded slightly.

Julie was dissatisfied: "Are you hard enough and comfortable enough to hit him with a stick?" If you say it, you can say it! ”

Martin looked at Julie: "You still need conditions?" ”

Julie's eyes kept rolling: "Honey, will you call Elizabeth Olsen?" We can have four people. ”

"Shut up!" Aniston was furious: "The three of us are already crowded!" ”

Julie shrugged and stopped talking.

Martin looked at Aniston, "Go ahead." ”

Aniston said: "Pete needs money, and he definitely wants to revitalize this asset, so Julie and I secretly found someone to make a game for him, and proved to Pete that as long as it is about 10 million dollars, he can revitalize this money." ”

Martin asked, "Pete took the bait?" ”

Julie answered automatically: "We secretly asked people to go to the Sacred Valley to spread the news, and sure enough, there was a company in the Sacred Valley that was interested in Pete and took the initiative to find him. ”

Martin finally understood why Pete was involved with Sacred Valley, and it turned out that these two people had secretly done something.

"You're amazing." Martin has long known that ex-wives and ex-girlfriends who know the inside story are not terrible if they really turn against each other.

Thinking about it, Leonardo has not had an ex-girlfriend come out to expose his black material and scandals for so many years, at most, it means that he has a short time and the like, which is really not an ordinary person.

Martin reminded: "You guys have been paying attention a little lately. ”

Julie reached out and scratched Martin's palm: "Even if Pete wants to do something, the first target is you, but you robbed Pete of the woman, the house and the endorsement, as long as you stand in front of us and don't fall, Pete will not target us." ”

Martin found that Julie had a good point in saying it, and it was impossible to refute it.

Aniston said: "Against Pete, we're going to push you hard in the back." ”

Before, Martin had pushed them hard from behind, and they stood up and slammed Pete in the posture of a battle goddess.

Julie's mind did not die: "It's better to do this, Martin, you call Elizabeth, and the four of us will discuss it together!" I can assure you, let people go and throw Pete into the ocean! ”

Martin was full, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and saw that the two of them had already put down the dishes, dragged Julie with one hand, and pulled Aniston with the other, and went directly upstairs.

"Jane, I'll control Anji in a while." He said as he walked: "You hit me from behind, leave me more than ten meters, and hit my back in a 100-meter sprint." ”

Aniston immediately became a plastic sister: "I've been working out and running. ”

Going upstairs and back into the room, Martin let go of Julie and reached out to Aniston with a hand: "Where's your clown statue?" Give it to me, I'm going to teach this crazy woman a good lesson today! ”

Aniston opened the bag and wanted to take the one she used, but thinking of Julie's hatefulness, she took out the forty-centimeter-tall version that she had specially ordered for Lily.

Julie is the Virgin, but a super freedom fighter, how can she be afraid, open her arms, and say loudly: "Although I have lost Elizabeth, I have gained my precious surname freedom!" ”

She was fearless: "Let the war come more violently!" ”
