Chapter 515: The Martian

White House, Ballroom.

The girls in costume got together and chatted about topics of interest to each other, and Elizabeth told some interesting facts about the Hollywood crew, which attracted the attention of Maria, the eldest daughter of Guanhai, and the two soon had a heated discussion on the topic.

On the other side, the chief of staff, Ram, whispered a few words in Guanhai's ear.

Guanhai nodded slightly: "I'll go talk to Martin for a while." ”

Although it has just taken office at the beginning of the year, Guanhai's team is already preparing for the next term.

The Cult of Cola, with its broad popular base, is a force to be reckoned with.

Guanhai talked with several major shareholders and executives of Coca-Cola, and they all admitted one thing, even the Coca-Cola Group has far less influence on the Coke God Cult than the leader Martin.

Coca-Cola's hiring of Martin as a lifelong spokesperson is its own urgent need.

When Martin saw Guanhai coming, he turned around and took the initiative to greet him: "Mr. President." ”

Guanhai smiled and said, "We are all old friends, call me Barac." ”

The people around him automatically dispersed a little, including Spielberg, who had previously talked to Martin about movies.

Guanhai chatted with Martin.

The others around him are envious, and the influence of this Hollywood star far exceeds the movie itself.

Nineteen-year-old Sasha Spielberg came to her father's side, somewhat resentful: "Martin Davis has only been popular for a few years, why did he receive such a warm reception!" ”

Spielberg was so clear-headed that he pointed to Martin's big badge: "First, he fought with his life; Second, he has a Cult of Coke God with tens of millions of people behind him, and he is the leader of the sect, although the organizational structure is very loose, but his influence cannot be ignored. ”

Sasha still couldn't figure it out.

Spielberg turned his head to look at Elizabeth Olsen, who was chatting with Maria, who was a year older than Sasha, but too sensible.

Sasha is too well protected by the couple.

Spielberg felt that Martin's foundation would be much stronger if he turned to politics than George Clooney, who jumped up and down and wanted to move into politics.

The luncheon didn't last long, less than half past one, and the guests took their leave.

When Martin went out, Benjamin took him to the parking lot and whispered, "Master, the brethren who did not have a group photo yesterday are very happy to get your autographed photo, let me express my gratitude to you." ”

Elizabeth said that Martin's followers had all come to the White House.

Martin nodded: "After a while, the Church of God of Coke will hold a few activities in Washington, D.C., and I will ask people to give you invitations." ”

Benjamin was happy: "Okay. ”

The work of the Secret Service is actually very boring, and the Cult of Coke can bring a lot of fun.

Martin got into the car and asked Lao Bu to drive back to the hotel.

When the car left the White House, Elizabeth said, "I talked to Maria, and she was very interested in joining a big Hollywood crew for a summer practice. ”

Martin thought for a moment and said, "After a while, Nolan's crew will move to Los Angeles and Canada to shoot, and I said hello to Nolan and Warners and asked her to join the crew to participate in practice." ”

Elizabeth said: "It's okay, I'll take a few people of the same age to play with the crew." ”

Martin genuinely complimented: "Liz, you've done a great job!" ”

Elizabeth hugged his arm: "Actually, I learned from my sisters, they are much better than me, and it would be good if I could learn half of them." ”

Martin gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Lily in the co-pilot couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I'm full at noon, if you feed me dog food again, I'm going to throw up." ”

Martin said, "Do you want to let you get out of the car?" ”

"You took a lot of photos?" Elizabeth changed the subject, leaned on the co-pilot and asked Lily, "Let's go back and take a look together and select materials for your creation." ”

Lily just laughed happily.

In the White House, in the lounge, Michelle listened to what Maria said, thought about it for a while, and found her husband.

While her husband was resting, she quietly went over and talked about this family matter.

"Martin Davis' girlfriend Elizabeth?" Guanhai listened to his wife's description: "Christopher Nolan's crew? “

Michelle said: "Warner Bros. project, Nolan is the director who filmed the Dark Knight. ”

The eldest daughter wanted to go to the film crew to participate in the summer practice, and she knew about it a few days ago, and said casually to the chief of staff Ram, after all, his younger brother Ali is one of Hollywood's most entertaining agents.

Hollywood's top crew, first-line directors, and first-line stars are indeed very suitable.

Guanhai called Ram, hung up and said, "Maria is interested, let her go." ”

"She'll be glad she knows you agreed," Michelle said. ”

Guanhai was in a good mood today and said, "Martin Davis is a very interesting and interesting person. ”

Michelle nodded, left to find her daughter, and called Elizabeth Olsen by the way to negotiate about her daughter joining the crew after she went to Los Angeles.

…………

In the hotel room, Elizabeth put down the phone and said, "That's it." ”

Martin came back and contacted Nolan again, and tapped her face lightly: "It's hard work." ”

Elizabeth asked, "Are you going back to Africa next?" ”

Martin responded: "When I went back to continue filming, Nolan said he couldn't live without me, saying that the crew without me was dead silent, lacking fun and excitement. ”

Elizabeth went to change into her everyday clothes and said, "That sounds strange. ”

"Probably because I'm not on the crew, no one is doing anything, and Nolan is not used to it." Martin could vaguely guess some of Nolan's thoughts: "If you don't make trouble, you won't publicize the explosion, and the director will be under a lot of pressure." ”

Elizabeth almost burst out laughing: "What a strange director." ”

Martin said more: "Hollywood has never had a director like Nolan in the past, he's a whole new genre. ”

Elizabeth didn't quite understand: "He's not as good as the four major directors, right?" ”

"That's not the case." Martin said the other way: "He has a die-hard fan like a star, and he doesn't have the kind of person who I don't have, and his fans can't tolerate anyone saying he's bad." ”

Elizabeth thought of IMDB's three-way battle: "Like the Dark Knight fans did on IMDB for the Godfather and the Shawshank Redemption? ”

Martin nodded: "Almost." He collected the badge and star badge and handed it to Elizabeth: "I won't be in Morocco for long, the crew will return to Los Angeles to shoot soon, you and Lily don't go, those places in Africa are not safe." ”

Elizabeth put the Grand Badge and Star in her suitcase: "Okay, I'll go back to Los Angeles and get ready to receive Mary." ”

Bruce knocked on the door and said, "There's your phone." ”

Martin opened the door and asked, "Who called?" ”

Bruce glanced at Elizabeth, and seeing that Martin didn't say anything, he said directly: "That female editor, it's Rachel who mentioned the literary adaptation a few days ago, doesn't she claim that there is a suitable one she wants you to see?" ”

Martin asked Elizabeth, "Would you be interested in accompanying me to see a project?" ”

Elizabeth shook her head with a smile: "I'm going to pack my luggage, you and Lao Bu can go." “

Martin picked up his coat and left the room with Bruce.

Halfway through, Martin changed the trio's mobile phone that Nicholson had sent to him after the incident at the Santa Monica pier and called Neves.

"Man, the fisherman is here again." He said.

Neves had heard Martin say the specifics before: "If the bait is suitable, you can eat the bait and throw the hook away." ”

He emphatically stressed: "Don't take a fishhook to a private setting, you've seen the style of the FBI." ”

Martin actually participated twice, both times with Russian bad luck.

Neves said: "The leader of those people is one level lower than me, as long as you don't get caught by the fishhook, everything else is easy to say, and my side will fight back soon, and send him overseas to be a liaison officer." ”

Martin had a bottom in his heart, and went downstairs with Lao Bu, came to the café next door, and saw Kate and Rachel again.

Seeing the two of them enter the door, Rachel whispered, "As expected, he didn't bring his girlfriend over, and he still has that idea for us." ”

Kate asked, "Are you ready over there?" ”

After the last meeting, Rachel and her boss carefully analyzed it and felt that it was impossible to rush it, and once or twice might not be enough to dispel Martin Davis's vigilance.

When the two sides are more familiar, some things happen naturally......

Martin came over, shook hands with Kate and Rachel, pulled out a chair and sat across from them.

Today, the two women have changed their style, wearing long dresses, light makeup, and a sweet smile, a bit like Elizabeth Olsen's everyday style.

Martin suspects that the two of them may switch to Julie and Aniston next time.

Kate smiled sweetly and said, "Congratulations on receiving the Distinguished Presidential Medal of Freedom." ”

Rachel said something similar.

"Thank you." Martin asked Bruce for a few cups of coffee, then got down to business and asked Rachel, "You said on the phone that you brought a literary project suitable for a film adaptation?" ”

Rachel nodded and said, "Yes, we discussed it internally and felt that it had a lot of potential for adaptation. “

This is a work that her team found overnight, and in order to be authentic, they even contacted the author in the name of a publishing house.

Of course, they don't dare to use the works of famous writers, and it is very troublesome once something goes wrong.

Therefore, I specifically found a science fiction that has a bit of a reputation on the Internet, has not yet attracted the attention of the publisher, and is only updated on my personal website.

The FBI has a dedicated Hollywood liaison office, in which Rachel once worked as an assistant, and roughly estimated that it would take hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in the real film adaptation.

Such a project will definitely not be appropriate for a while, and she can pull Martin in many ways to enhance the relationship.

Martin asked directly, "Did you bring the work?" ”

Rachel opened her briefcase, pulled out a file bag, and handed it over.

Martin then found that it was full of printed documents and looked at the other side suspiciously.

Rachel explains: "It's not published yet, it's being serialized online. “

Martin nodded, took out the bound printed manuscript, and saw the name on the cover - The Martian!
