Chapter 537: Billions of Big Business
In the morning, Bruce took a new lady's casual dress and brought it to the door of Martin's suite, and was about to knock on the door when the door diagonally opposite suddenly opened.
Mene walked out, his face about to be whitened and refreshed, as if he were only a handsome young man of twenty years old.
Bruce wondered, "When did this guy come back?" ”
Mene just laughed, but didn't speak.
Because a woman's pleasant voice came from the door: "Wait for me, let's have breakfast together, and we'll come back after breakfast, how did you practice your tongue?" It's so flexible, and it can knot hair, I've experienced so much, and I've seen it once. ”
Bruce looked at Mene in shock, has he practiced to this extent? That's too much of an exaggeration, right?
A middle-aged woman in her forties turned out of the door.
Those who are familiar with European cinema will be recognizable at a glance - Sophie Marceau!
Bruce gave Mene a thumbs up.
"You're Martin Davis' bodyguard Bruce?" Sophie Marceau, who had seen the video of the Santa Monica Pier incident, recognized Lao Bu and invited, "What about Martin? Let's play together for a while. ”
Bruce knew that Martin was not interested in her, and said, "Martin is in a hurry, ready to go out." ”
Sophie Marceau had regrets, but Mane was really good, and she grabbed Mene's arm: "Let's go to the restaurant." ”
Mene smiled and said, "Lao Bu, let's go to breakfast." ”
Sophie Marceau said as she walked: "You don't eat irritating food for breakfast, you're so good at it that you don't need those things." ”
Mene said very seriously: "I am a pure technical stream. ”
Sophie Marceau liked: "Wait a minute, you help me tie a knot, I'll take a picture to commemorate it." ”
The actress, who has performed on the red carpet several times, is very open, even among the French.
As the two turned into the elevator, Bruce knocked on Martin's door and ushered the lady in.
Ten minutes later, Martin and Léa Seydoux came out of the room and went to the restaurant for breakfast first.
Léa Seydoux also saw Sophie Marceau and said, "She's actually here. ”
Martin said: "The man next to her is called Mene, my old fellow, and has a special magic that always attracts the attention of older ladies. ”
Leia nodded lightly: "I know him, Huppert's little lover, I heard that his physiognomy skills are very good, and he is especially popular with older ladies, and that's true." ”
Martin asked, "Is Mene already so famous in France?" ”
"It has long been spread in the circle of actresses." Perhaps the romanticism of the French woman, Léa was thinking about it very seriously: "When you have time back, you take me to meet Mene, and I will introduce him to my mother." ”
Martin's fork was deflected and landed on the disk with a clang, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are you serious?" ”
Leia said: "Of course it's serious, my parents have divorced a long time ago, and my mother has not been happy with it......"
Martin mumbled, "Let's get back to it." ”
After breakfast, Bruce gets in the car and takes Martin and Léa to the 7th arrondissement, where her mother has a vacant apartment and the video is hidden in the apartment's hidden safe.
Although Léa Seydoux didn't say it explicitly, Martin didn't have to guess to know that she must have made multiple copies.
Paris is not very safe, especially the notorious 93 departments, which are claimed to have been abandoned by the French.
But the 7th arrondissement, like the 16th arrondissement, is relatively safe, and Léa's mother's apartment, although unoccupied, is not visited by burglars.
Léa removes a picture frame and opens the secret door on the wall, revealing the safe inside.
Martin and Bruce had already gone to the balcony.
The latter asked, "Will she go down in person?" ”
Martin glanced back: "She's not crazy yet, I promise that when the situation is uncertain, I will only find an opportunity to release a recording to TMZ or other media." “
Bruce said, "What about the video? ”
"Not for us yet, but she told me that when Inglourious Basterds was done in post-production this year, she focused on Harvey and knew that Harvey might be harassing another actress, a French-American actor, who also hated Harvey, so she provided the actress with a covert camera, and Harvey did go to the guy later," Martin said. ”
Bruce has heard a lot of rumors about Harvey: "In Harvey's style, if I don't force it, I will be very shocked and surprised. ”
"This may be a special habit developed by the big guy, and it's not interesting to be submissive." Martin also speculated wildly, continuing the topic just now: "Léa can be sure that the actress took the video of that night, but she then left Los Angeles, and the video is very likely in her possession." “
Bruce asked, "Who is she?" Where to stay? I asked people to come to her. ”
Martin tilted his head back: "I don't know yet, I may have to pay a lot today to know this information." ”
"You work hard." Bruce patted Martin on the shoulder and specifically encouraged him: "I believe that with your strength, you will definitely be able to get it smoothly if you pay billions." ”
He proposed, "Why don't I go down in a moment, and here it is." ”
Martin said, "It's better to go back to the hotel room, there will be no accidents." ”
Bruce thought that Léa Seydoux could secretly film Harvey's video, and maybe he would put something here and secretly film Martin.
"It's hard for us alone," he cautioned. ”
"A while ago, Saoirse Ronan called me and mentioned a project that might involve Harvey and Warner, and I asked Thomas to find out," Martin said. ”
Leia's voice came over: "Something has been found. ”
Martin and Bruce return to the living room together.
Léa held a USB drive in her hand and handed it to Martin.
Bruce opened the laptop he had brought with him, asked Martin to plug in the USB drive, and clicked play.
First, there is an audio clip of Harvey Weinstein's threatening words, which do not mention Léa Seydoux's name, but clearly express the intention to force it.
There is also a video, which has obviously been edited, and only Harvey left the country alone, and his vicious appearance is not inferior to the old black that 93 Province is preparing to implement.
Leia said: "I'm really not hypocritical, you see, which normal woman can't vomit with him?" ”
Martin suddenly thought of Joanna Chapman, who had been busy with work for more than a year, and the original bet contracts with Leonardo and Nicholson expired at the end of the year.
As long as he persists, he will be able to win!
Martin had heard the old fox Angela Lindwo talk about Joanna on the phone a few times, and after he introduced them to each other, the two men, along with Carolina, often mingled together.
Léa said: "For the time being, these are the only ones, the rest are not in Paris, and I will give them to you when I have time." ”
Martin asked Bruce to put his things away and said, "Let's go, show me around Paris." ”
Léa said, "No problem. ”
The two first went to see some of the most famous attractions in Paris, and then went shopping on the Champs-Élysées.
After Martin became rich, he was never a stingy person, spending hundreds of thousands of euros in one afternoon.
Back at the hotel in the evening, Martin put all his energy into a big deal involving billions of dollars with Léa Seydoux.
After Léa Seydoux swallowed billions of dollars, her hatred for Weinstein went even further, and she did not hesitate to send the name, address and contact information of the French-American actor.
Martin immediately forwarded it to Bruce and told him to hurry up.
Bruce contacted Ivan, who was supposed to be on vacation in Long Beach, and immediately rushed to San Diego after getting the news.
In addition, Martin communicated Léa Seydoux, and Léa Seydoux agreed to come forward and accuse Xavi if necessary.
Of course, she is the one who falls into the well, not the trumpeter.
In fact, everyone in the circle understands that the first few people who stood up to accuse Harvey are tantamount to cutting off their path as actors.
So, Martin never expected to open a gap in a star-level actor.
But as long as the gap opens, people like Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep, etc., who were once closest to Harvey Weinstein, will also be the ones who step on Harvey the hardest.
The next morning, Léa Seydoux left the hotel early, and Martin returned to the set to continue filming the rest of the scenes in Paris.
After two consecutive days of filming, he ushered in the last scene of the crew.
Nolan specially put the highlight of the ending at the end of the shooting.
On the set, Martin took the box from Nolan himself, and when he opened it, it was the metal spinning top.
Nolan pointed to the table on the other side: "Let it spin for a while longer, I'll think about it, and I'll use the ending you said." ”
Martin was brewing emotions: "No problem. ”
Nolan returned to the director's position, thought about it for a while, felt that Martin's commercial appeal could not be wasted, and turned his head.
Assistant Anderson immediately ran over: "Director? ”
"Before filming the last scene, director Nolan took Martin's advice and decided to use an open-ended ending," Nolan said. ”
Anderson quickly recorded it and asked, "Has the male protagonist Cobb returned to reality?" ”
This question inspired Nolan again, and he continued: "In any version of propaganda, don't give an answer, let the audience guess, let the propagandists create a topic about it. ”
The ending is mysterious, not for any profound theme and idea, but just for propaganda needs.
Nolan even thought further, if the movie was successful, he could drag this ending out to create a topic when promoting the rise of the Dark Knight in the future!
The scene reporter came to the camera at this time to play the board, and the scene of Cobb's return officially started filming.
A number of scenes in a row were successfully completed, and it also came to the link of spinning top.
Martin had practiced it in private, and the spinning top fell from his hand, like an obedient woman, and spun around on it.
Before the top stopped, director Nolan shouted, "Stop, this is over." ”
Then he announced the sealing of the mirror.
After all the scenes in "Inception" were filmed, Martin got the spinning top as a souvenir.
The crew threw a party in the evening and then went their separate ways.
Mené stayed in Paris, ready to work with Huppert.
Martin first went to Milan to visit Elisabeth, who was there for Milan Fashion Week, and then returned to Los Angeles.
