After the arrival of the new weekend, the traditional summer vacation of North American movies is coming, and the movies of large companies are beginning to be released in a pile, "Fast and Furious" ended a short three-consecutive box office list, and the new box office champion is occupied by "Fast and Furious 4".

However, the film's North American box office accumulated $165 million, and the global box office was $255 million, temporarily ranking first on the 2009 list.

With the size of "Fast Pursuit", of course, it is not stable to sit in this position, and in the upcoming summer season, popular sequels such as Transformers 2, Harry Potter 6 and Ice Age 3 have struck one after another.

At the end of April, Marcus's memoir, The Lone Survivor, was published by Random House.

Martin, Chad and Mane all participated in the launch ceremony together to make a big splash.

They consciously gave up their position, did not accept media interviews, and held Marcus in the C position.

Marcus tearfully described Operation Red Arrow and announced that he would donate all the proceeds from the sale of his memoir books to the American Legion.

As for the income from the adaptation, it is all in the future, so it is naturally not in this ranks.

After a brief platform cheer, Martin went to the lounge at the back.

Chad said: "I saw the script for Nolan's new film from Mene, and I didn't understand what he was writing. ”

Mene continued: "Actually, I don't understand either. ”

The plot presented in text in the script is much more abstract than the picture of the movie, and if Martin hadn't seen the movie before, he would have been confused when he first read the script.

"It's a story about dreams," he said. ”

Mene scratched his head: "There are dreams in dreams, and I am confused. ”

Martin reminded: "You are a supporting actor, the role is very heavy, if you don't understand something, hurry up and figure it out......"

Mene nodded again and again and said, "I've been asking Emma to come out recently, and she's been reading the script for me. ”

Martin had nothing more to say.

Because of Uncle Mene standing in front of him, and Emma Thomas.

Chad interjected at this time: "In the second sequel, I plan to increase the interaction between your character and Mene's character, so that there will be more chemistry between you, and the scenes will be more interesting. ”

"Yes," Martin said. ”

Chad called Martin to the window and talk about the sequel.

Mene tried to follow, but was stopped by Bruce.

"Something?" He asked.

Bruce lowered his voice and said, "Go to Cannes, France in the middle of next month?" ”

Mene reacted: "Cannes Film Festival? By the way, the boss's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is going to have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, and I'm definitely going to attend! ”

"This film will be in competition."

Although not a qualified star manager, there are some things that Bruce will do quietly: "The chairman of the jury this year is the veteran French actress Isabelle Huppert. ”

Hearing this name, Mene immediately met the person in his impression, and his eyes lit up: "I know her, she is extremely talented, has a classical beauty, is known as the most beautiful French rose, and is the highest-status actress in the French entertainment industry." ”

He thought about Isabelle Huppert's age: "She is the goddess of literature and art that I admire the most!" ”

"We'll go to Cannes together," Bruce said. ”

Mene nodded repeatedly: "I'm going to meet my goddess of literature and art!" ”

The two men chatted quietly for a while, and the breakout room door opened from the outside, and Marcus swayed in like a balloon that had been blown up.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, opened the ice soda and took a big sip, saying: "I'd rather face the guerrillas in Afghanistan than these journalists!" ”

Chad turned around and said in relief, "It's good to get used to it." ”

Martin knows that as the political situation changes, Marcus may face a more complicated situation in the future, saying: "In the future, there will be no professional PR and agents present, so don't answer any questions from the media." ”

Marcus had just weathered a storm of journalists, and he was reeling: "I'll never forget that. “

Martin nodded and continued: "After the memoir adaptation project is established and released, there will be more reporters who will surround you, so get used to it slowly." ”

Marcus was very concerned about the memoir adaptation and asked, "Is the adaptation ready for the project?" ”

"Thomas is looking for the right director." "The budget for the production is about $40 million, and the Koreans have promised to invest in this war film, and if all goes well, it will be available in North American theaters in 2011," Martin said. ”

This is a movie based on himself, Marcus wanted to see it on the big screen earlier, and now that the memoir is on the market, the movie is about to be established, and his biggest wish has been fulfilled.

Martin's studio has all but agreed a distribution deal with Warner Bros. and will hire Daniel's recommended Aziva Gossman, whose recent credits include "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "I Am Legend," as the project's producer.

As for the director, Thomas fed back to WMC, who was there to help find the right director.

Marcus rested for a while and went out to sign the sale.

Martin and the others are leaving.

When a group of them walked out of the commercial plaza, a shout suddenly sounded on the opposite side.

"Martin, I love you!"

"Forever Coke God of War!"

"Martin, I'm going to have a baby for you!"

A dozen beautiful girls in wedding dresses ran out of the crowd and blocked the way of Martin and his group.

Bruce hurriedly stood in front of Martin and said to Martin behind: "It's them again!" ”

Martin also recognized the girls, beckoned and said, "I love you too." ”

The girls gathered around.

Once again, Martin grants their desire for autographs, and is reluctantly dragged away by Bruce.

The two cooperate tacitly, focusing on a favorite fan.

Martin is a good man, and of course Bruce is the bad guy.

The girls in the wedding dress chased Martin's car for dozens of meters before stopping.

One of them said: "Martin is so good, it's just that the bodyguard is so hateful that he forcibly dragged Martin away." ”

"That's right! That's right! The fast-talking one said, "Martin loves us, and we love Martin, but there are layers of obstacles in between." ”

The leader Aisha is extremely determined: "None of this can stop our love for Martin!" ”

He said quickly: "Acting head of the regiment, you are so right! ”

Hearing this, Aisha was upset: "Again, Toni is no longer the head of the group, and now I am your head of the group!" ”

Another asked, "When will Toni come back, I can't reach her when I call." ”

"The phone was never answered!"

"Toni can't have an accident, right?"

Hearing that these people were thinking about the old leader, Aisha could only say, "Toni has something at home, I have to go back and stay for a while, and I can come back after a while." ”

After being the head of the regiment for this time, Elsa hopes that Toni will never come back.

As long as Toni doesn't come back, Elsa believes she will become the new big sister as time goes on.

In the car as he got away, Martin straightened his clothes and said, "It's good that they're not crazy." ”

Bruce agreed: "In the United States, a truly qualified crazy fan must go to the assassination of the president of the United States for verification!" ”

Mene answered: "I remember Guanhai, who had just come to power, visited Martin in the hospital. With the same skin color, he drew a cross on his chest: "God willing, nothing will happen to him." “

"Rest assured, I'm neither Manson nor Jodie Foster, and the fans aren't that crazy," Martin said. ”

Chad joked: "You're right, they just want to help you have a baby, nothing bad." ”

Mene and Bruce laughed.

Martin had no concept of children, but thinking of the children in Nicholson's family, Lorraine seemed to be the most promising, and quickly shook her head: "Children are terrible, I'm not ready." ”

Mene said: "If Celine Dion can give me a baby, the future will definitely be very good." ”

Bruce, who was driving, asked, "How much property does she have?" ”

Mene thought for a moment and said, "There must be hundreds of millions." ”

Chad was not without envy: "I want to have your skills, to be a director, tired and stressful." ”

A couple of people were talking nonsense and went into Warner Studios.

Chad returned to the Chase studio alone, and the three Martins rushed to Nolan's office and received the crew's filming schedule for the previous month from Emma Thomas.

Unlike in the past, because Morocco provides high tax rebates and subsidies, the crew is based in Ouarzazate, Hollywood, Africa, and all studio scenes will be filmed at Atlas Studios, except for some location scenes.

After the Oscars, Nolan rushed to Morocco with a large crew to make final preparations for filming.

It also means that Martin will be in Africa for a long time to come.

Fortunately, Morocco is one of the most politically stable countries in Africa and one of Hollywood's favorite overseas filming bases.

Martin also made an itinerary based on this, first going to France to attend the Cannes Film Festival, and then waiting until the Cannes Film Festival is over, and going directly from France to Morocco.

In late May, the new project will officially start shooting.

Martin's work schedule for the second half of the year can basically be determined, joining the crew of "Gone Girl".

Davis Studios and Louise's Pacific Film and Television Productions jointly established the "Gone Girl" studio, and Louise took over the project and is running the publishing and other related matters.

David Fincher also signed a directing contract with Gone Girl Studios to officially direct the project.

Before Martin left Los Angeles, he specially called David Fincher and Gillian Flynn to have a chat, and the three creative ideas were highly consistent, and the only remaining differences were also in some side matters.

Gillian Flynn had worked as a screenwriter before, and after David Fincher consulted Martin, he simply asked Gillian, the original author, to adapt the movie script herself.

In the middle of May, Martin and David Fincher flew to Paris with the crew.
