As soon as the sun turned to the west, Ben Affleck came out of the door of the apartment and carefully helped Toni down the steps, more attentive than he had been to Jennifer Garner, who was about to give birth.

He held the person in his hand and said, "Slow down, slow down, don't worry." ”

Toni held Ben with one hand and touched her stomach with the other: "Maybe it's a labor pain, my stomach hurts a little." ”

"Hold on, we'll be at the hospital in ten minutes at most." Big Ben helped the man into the back seat, got into the driver's seat, and drove towards the nearby maternity hospital.

While waiting for the traffic light, he also called Cassie Affleck and asked Cassie to rush to the hospital with the delivery bag.

More than half an hour later, the person was sent to the hospital, and Omoto completed all the formalities and breathed a sigh of relief.

Cassie ran in from the outside.

Big Ben took the delivery bag in his hand and sent it into the ward, where he was quickly driven out by the nurse.

Toni is giving birth.

Cassie sat on a bench in the doorway and asked, "What are we going to do next?" ”

Big Ben knew that he alone was not enough, and said: "I contacted Pitt and Harvey, who are in London fighting with Tolkien's copyright agency, and will be back in a few days." ”

Cassie thought of how miserable she was, and she couldn't wait: "I'll have to wait a little longer." ”

Big Ben's cell phone rang, and seeing that it was Harvey calling, he walked to the end of the empty corridor and answered the phone: "Harvey, I brought the woman who was pregnant with Martin's child to the hospital, she may give birth today." ”

In London, Harvey Weinstein, who had just returned to the hotel from a round of bargaining with Tolkien's copyright agency, finally heard some good news: "Ben, you are doing a good job, you must make sure that the child is born, and that the child is discharged safely." ”

Big Ben promised: "Harvey, don't worry, I will always be nailed to the hospital." ”

Harvey thought of "Inglourious Basterds", which had already been released, and it became a fire without a name.

This film, which he has rarely made in recent years, has not been blessed by the heavyweight awards of the Cannes Film Festival, has no commercial effect of A-list stars, and has a mediocre box office performance after its release in North America, with a box office of just over $20 million in the first week.

In the end, it is necessary to go the old way, recoup the cost through offline markets such as DVD and TV rights, and then rely on time to generate profits.

Harvey doesn't have to go this way, "Inglourious Basterds" increased investment, and even set a record for investment in a single film in Weinstein Pictures, and took the initiative to invite a first-line star with market appeal like Martin to play the leading role, not just to make a difference in theaters.

Doesn't he want to recoup his money just by passing the box office?

Harvey's heart ached, and the unplanned twists and turns of the project cost him tens of millions of dollars.

At the end of the day, it's all Martin Davis.

Harvey calculated very clearly, maybe Martin got Pitt and caused the first setback of the project, and then Martin refused his invitation, and there was a second setback, and then at the Cannes Film Festival, he snatched the best actor, making the film lose a big hot spot to attract fans.

Needless to say, poaching Wes Craven made his Emperor Pictures lose the biggest reliance on the horror genre.

Harvey quickly made a decision and said into the phone: "Ben, wait for that woman and child to be discharged from the hospital, find a suitable opportunity, in public, the more media the better, let them go to meet Martin Davis and recognize their relatives on the spot." ”

"Great idea!" Big Ben laughed: "There will definitely be a good show then, whether Martin recognizes it or not, it will make him discredited!" “

Harvey thought more: "No, having an illegitimate child will only affect the reputation, not a fatal blow to Martin, with my knowledge of Martin's bastard, and the example of the trio's boss Nicholson, Martin will not recognize this child." ”

He asked, "Did that woman have a video and audio recording of the time she had sex?" ”

Big Ben is not without regrets: "I tried it several times, but she was only interested in enjoyment at the time, and she didn't think about it at all. ”

Harvey shook his head: "It's a pity. He just felt a little sorry, and said, "This kind of thing, Martin will definitely refuse, don't you have a good relationship with that woman, understand?" “

That's what Big Ben thought: "I know what to do." ”

Harvey quickly hung up.

Just as I wanted to go down for dinner, my wife, Georgina Chapman, made a video call.

The video is on, and the wife who is removing her makeup appears on the screen.

Harvey beckoned, "Hey, dear, are you still in New York?" ”

Georgina tied up her long hair and said, "I'm going back to Los Angeles today, a few of my friends in the fashion industry are going to come with me, and I'm going to have another fashion party." ”

Harvey understood: "How much does it cost, you sign the bill directly, and I'll go to Los Angeles and settle the bill again." ”

Georgina was especially happy: "Thank you, dear, that you are the best husband in the world. ”

Spending her husband's money and preparing to have an affair with another man is really exciting.

Georgina can't wait to get back to Los Angeles.

Harvey said, "Okay, that's it, I'll be back in Los Angeles in a few days." ”

The video call hung up, and someone walked over.

The assistant held the mobile phone and said: "Boss, just now Warner Bros. called and wanted to communicate about the copyright of the hobbit, and they made a condition that we want to give up the copyright for $5 million." ”

"$5 million? Warner's people are dreaming too! "Harvey is well aware of the market value of the series, and if it works, it will make billions of dollars.

He put on his usual tough attitude: "You go and call Warner back and tell them that there is no need to talk about copyright!" ”

The assistant hurried to call back.

Harvey was upset again, their brothers have been busy for thirty years, and the scale of their film companies is not as good as the half-dead DreamWorks, and the revenue is not even comparable to the subsidiaries of the Big Six.

Fortunately, he always had a way to win the Oscars, so he has today's huge influence.

Harvey sat on the couch and thought about more, especially Martin.

Engaging in Martin is not just about taking a bad breath, but also about the actual benefits.

Harvey remembers very well that Martin's Davis Film and Television Studio has bought the adaptation rights of several literary works, some of which have been pushed into the adaptation stage, and Martin's eyes in recent years can be inferred that the potential value of these adaptations is extremely high.

If you can get rid of Martin, take these projects......

Even in Harvey's state of mind, a chrysanthemum-like smile bloomed on his fat face.

…………

Under the night sky of Los Angeles, many people are busy, Jody got a series of copies of the fierce material, checked the information of the relevant people next to each other, called one of them, and took a red-eye flight to the other party's city overnight.

As a veteran entertainment reporter who has covered Brad Pitt's nanny door and Ben Affleck's teaching door on a row, Jody knows exactly what to do.

There may not be a few more experienced journalists in the United States.

Jody knew very well that if she couldn't get rid of Harvey Weinstein, she would be in a lot of trouble.

A car rushed into Burbank's hospital, and Brad Pitt, wearing a Penny cap, got out of the car and hurried towards the ward, and before he could reach the door, he saw Cassie Affleck smoking outside.

He quickened his pace and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cassie said, "It's in production, Ben is guarding the door, let me wait for you here." ”

Pete licked his dry lips and said, "Hope is finally coming!" ”

Cassie led the way: "This way." ”

The two went upstairs together, turned into a corridor, and saw Big Ben walking around anxiously, more uneasy than when his wife gave birth.

Pete, who has no children and has never experienced this, said, "Hold on. ”

Big Ben nodded, looked around, saw that there was no one else, and said: "I just contacted Harvey, Harvey will come to Los Angeles soon, he asked us to push in front first, find the public places where Martin appears, especially the places where media reporters gather more......"

Hearing this, Pete said: "I still have some connections in the circle, and you also pay attention to the relevant media, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" starring Martin Davis will be released in a while......"

Speaking of this movie, Pete felt inexplicably uncomfortable, he was almost unable to breathe, and the earliest protagonist of this film was to choose him.

After a slight pause, he continued: "He's definitely going to be present at some publicity events, and we'll him together then!" ”

Big Ben said again that if you don't recognize the child's operation.

Pee nodded: "Let him taste these things that happened to us." He deduced from himself Martin, who was also a bastard: "If there is a second or a third for this kind of thing, as long as the first one comes out, the next one will also jump out." ”

Big Ben experienced it and agreed: "Yes, I don't believe Martin would have a second one!" ”

Suddenly, the door next to it opened, and a nurse came out and said, "Who are Toni Fairman's family?" ”

Big Ben and the three of them immediately went over.

The nurse said, "Boy, mother and child are safe!" ”

Pete drew a cross on his chest: "God forbid!" ”

…………

Davis Manor is unusually quiet at night.

In the living room of the villa, when Martin finished his video call with Elizabeth Olsen, Bruce walked over and said, "Jody left overnight." ”

"She has a lot of experience in this area and is the best option for us," Martin said. ”

Bruce scratched his head: "It's just too thin, and there isn't much flesh on it." ”

Martin was surprised: "How do you know so clearly?" ”

Bruce didn't want to continue the topic, handed an invitation to Martin in his hand, and couldn't help but say: "It's so weird, we're going to Harvey Weinstein, and it turns out that her wife joins your many supermodel mistresses......"

Martin corrected: "Not really, it's just a mutual stamp collection." ”

Bruce didn't dwell on any of this, saying, "Georgina Chapman invites you to a fashion party in Malibu. ”

Martin took the invitation and found that in addition to Georgina, there were Angela Lindwow and Big KK in the signature column.

Not only Lao Bu, but even he thought, why did things develop so strangely?

So, he contacted Angela and Georgina and others, and the party setup and location were handled by him.
