In Los Angeles, the headquarters of the Martin Fan Club, Phoebe counts the promotional materials that Jessica has been delivered.

Rachel brought a large number of fans over to pick up the event items for the afternoon.

The crew of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" had a promotional event, and they were going to the scene to support.

Phoebe handed out posters and banners next to each other.

A male fan asked: "There are media reports that the illegitimate child incident was Ben Affleck, Cassie Affleck and Brad Pitt, who instructed that Toni Fehrman to frame Martin, is that true?" ”

Rachel nodded: "Yes, what is reported in the newspaper is true, the LAPD has already arrested these three bastards!" ”

Immediately someone shouted: "They're too much! ”

"I just said that Martin must have been wronged, and many people on the Internet still don't believe it, they want to hack Martin, how can they find a reason."

"With Martin's charm, do you need to use force? As long as he wants, what kind of woman does not. ”

"My friend works as a videographer in the fashion industry, and I heard that the favorite male star of Victoria's Secret supermodels is not Leonardo, but Martin, and it is said that Martin is also the certification threshold of supermodels!"

"How do you get it?"

Listening to these people's discussions, Rachel hurriedly stopped them and said loudly: "In the afternoon event, we not only want to support Martin, but also call on all parties to pay attention to this incident and severely punish the culprit who framed Martin!" ”

Phoebe continued: "If we don't punish them severely, the next time Bonnie and Jenny may pop up, and just hold a baby and say it's Martin's child, and Martin doesn't have to work to provide us with high-quality film productions, and we can't cope with this." ”

Others have spoken out in support.

"Yes, the murderer must be punished severely!"

"They have to pay!"

"We're going to put pressure on the Los Angeles justice system!"

Rachel opened a box, took out various posters and banners prepared in advance, and handed them out to the leaders of the various fan teams.

For today's interaction, Rachel and Phoebe organized hundreds of people to participate.

…………

At Los Angeles International Airport, Martin sees off Elizabeth and Lily and heads to the Hollywood Bowl to prepare for the "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" campaign.

The Olsen sisters' fashion campaign in Milan was not over, and after making sure that Martin was okay, Elizabeth returned to Europe to continue her busy brand promotion work, after all, she is the third largest individual shareholder of the brand.

Lily was going to Rome and Florence to visit and study, and she went to Italy with her.

When Martin came to the vicinity of the Hollywood Bowl, he saw that it was already crowded.

Crowds in red cultural shirts almost dominated Hollywood's North Highland Boulevard.

Seeing the black Cadillac Escalade, the men realized that Martin had arrived.

An almost unison voice rang out.

"Martin! Martin! “

All the red cultural shirts shouted in unison: "Martin! Martin! ”

Martin didn't dare to open the window, so Bruce opened the sunroof, stood up, and waved to both sides while smiling and nodding his head to show his gratitude to his supporters.

The event's security guards cleared the wall and separated the road, allowing Escalade to enter the back door of the theater.

Approaching the door, Martin picked up the electronic loudspeaker that was always in the car and shouted, "Thank you for your support!" “

The outside roared.

Until the back door of the Grand Theater closed, thousands of people outside were still shouting Martin.

The main entrance was opened, the red cultural shirt group entered the venue one after another, and the cameras of hundreds of reporters in the media seats turned to the audience one after another.

Banners and posters were held aloft.

"Support Martin and punish the real culprit!"

"Let those who break the law get the punishment they deserve!"

"The law should protect our heroes!"

I don't know where to start, and soon everyone in the audience shouted.

"Protect the heroes and punish the real murderers! Protect the Heroes ......"

The cameras of the media recorded these extremely faithfully, and then there will be huge pressure on public opinion.

The voice reached the background, and Thomas was a little worried: "Will this affect your relationship with the Los Angeles authorities?" ”

Martin smiled: "This is done after communication. ”

Bruce whispered to Thomas, "Big Ben is not unrelated, McLean asked for some public opinion pressure. “

Thomas understood, and said no more.

David Fincher came in at this point, hugged Martin, and said, "I'm still a little worried, it's good to see you're okay." ”

Martin laughed and said, "A little trouble. ”

He will hold on to this matter and deal with it with a tough attitude.

As long as he is a little weak, similar troubles will definitely emerge in the future, and the people below him don't have to do anything else, just dealing with these can be annoying.

As for ordinary collaborators such as David Fincher, Martin can't ask too much, and it is the most normal situation to see the direction of the wind before expressing his opinion.

In addition to David Fincher, Catherine Kennedy also came over to chat with Martin.

The campaign kicked off immediately, with Martin, David Fincher and Cate Blanchett and other main creative staff taking the stage together to tell some behind-the-scenes anecdotes according to the process plan, and answer questions from the media and fans on the spot.

When it was dark, the crew also showed some clips of the film.

Compared with David Fincher's other works, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is more sunny and positive.

At the end of the event, David Fincher and Martin chatted for a while.

The two are talking about the next collaborative work, "Gone Girl".

David Fincher focused on casting: "I went through all the profiles of the leading actresses with Gillian Flynn, Martin, and there's one thing I need to explain to you in advance. ”

Martin said, "Just say it. ”

"Natalie Portman, the actress you and WMA co-recommended, is not quite suitable for the role." David Fincher said very directly, and also gave the reason: "There is no problem with her acting skills, but her appearance does not match the magical Amy, Amy is a very beautiful girl in the original description, and she has a cold and ruthless temperament after her disappearance......"

He was a little more simply: "In short, Natalie Portman is not beautiful enough, and her appearance is too ordinary." ”

Martin agreed with him, and recommended Ali's face, saying: "I don't interfere with you and Gillian if you have an idea." ”

David Fincher was relieved to see that he had no opinion, but Martin and WMA still had to take care of their faces: "I will inform her to participate in the third audition, whether it is suitable for the magical Amy, and I will see the audition effect." ”

"Yes," Martin said. ”

That being said, Martin is well aware that Natalie Portman will be defeated because of her mediocre appearance.

If it weren't for the physiognomy problem, David Fincher would have chosen his longtime friend Reese Witherspoon.

The two chatted for a while about the movie they were promoting.

The box office and market of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", neither of them are too worried, the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival has a blessing to some extent, Martin is now super popular and appealing, Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures jointly distributed, and there is no problem in terms of publicity.

Of course, this kind of film can't compare with the box office of purely commercial films.

It was dark outside, and Martin got into Escalade and went home.

Bruce reminded, "Don't forget, you're meeting with Harvey Weinstein tomorrow." “

Martin said: "I'll ask over there first. ”

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Georgina's number, and the scumbag prodigal woman had a thorough understanding of Harvey's situation in the past few days.

Georgina even gave Martin a room number and asked him to finish talking to Harvey tomorrow and come to her, she wanted to be tested again.

The other party sold her husband, how could a good person like Martin refuse? If you refuse, it will be too scummy, so you can only agree to it.

Bruce turned his head and caught a glimpse of Martin hanging up the phone and said, "You're so hard at stepping on a horse, you've sold yourself to get people to do it." ”

Martin sighed: "Lao Bu, it's not easy for you either, Jody...... Do you have pelvic pain? ”

Bruce thought of Jody, who was too peaceful before and after, and couldn't help crying in his heart: "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”

The two rotten people sued for bitterness and told their own difficulties.

The car entered the Sunset Boulevard North District, and when he was about to get home, Martin noticed that there was a van driving out of the Charlize Theron house next door, followed by a black Mercedes.

Two cars approached, and under the light of the Escalade, Martin could clearly see that it was Stuart Townsend driving the Mercedes.

On the co-pilot on his side, there were still several bags piled up.

It seems that the rear seat is all full.

As the two sides were about to stagger over, Stewart recognized Martin's Escalade, lowered the driver's window pane, reached out, and raised his middle finger at Martin's side.

Bruce saw it: "If I run into him, I can knock him over." ”

Martin shook his head: "What are you going to do with him, soon he will go for a paternity test and face more trouble." ”

Bruce thought of a question: "Is the man responsible for doing what Toni did?" ”

"I don't know." Martin doesn't remember a similar case: "Perhaps, this will become a typical precedent in the American judicial community." ”

Bruce pointed back, "He's not going to be chased away by Charlize Theron, is he?" ”

"I'll ask." Martin dialed Charlize's phone and waited for it to be connected, with a very concerned tone: "Hi Sally, I found a situation where a van full of things drove out of your house?" Did You Know? If you don't know, I'll call the police. ”

"No need to call the police, I know what's going on." Charlize remembered Stewart's slander against her, and deliberately added: "I broke up with Stuart Townsend and demanded that he must move out today." ”

"I'm sorry ......" Martin said.

Charlize said: "It has nothing to do with you, I know all the bad things he did, such a scumbag, I have been sticking to it for so many years." “

Martin was relieved: "Everything will be fine. ”

She let out a long sigh, "Do you have time for the weekend?" Let's have a drink together. ”

Martin replied: "You can call me at any time and place on weekends." ”

When Martin hung up, Bruce said, "Leo and Jack are right, you still like this best." ”
