"The number of victims who have reported to the police has reached 90, and it is estimated that more than 100 is not difficult."

On the way to Warner Studios, Thomas told Martin the latest situation: "And that's not counting well-known actresses like Gwyneth and Nicole Kidman who didn't call the police. ”

Martin said softly: "They won't call the police, they won't admit that they were killed by Harvey, they will only say that they have been harassed." ”

Bruce chimed in: "I've had a relationship with a guy who is so strong and disgusting, I guess they don't want to think about it. ”

Thomas pulled back the topic that was about to be distorted: "With the academy's statement, Harvey is officially dead in the industry. ”

"That's not enough." Martin won't give Harvey a chance to make a comeback: "Gotta put him in jail and stay in there for ten years!" ”

Thomas asked, "Why not twenty years?" ”

Martin said: "There is a high probability that he will die in it in twenty years, so he doesn't care about it and says everything nonsense, which is not good for us, so it is better to leave him some hope." ”

Because of the time, he still has the general impression that a certain billionaire who committed suicide seems to involve Harvey.

Martin had never wanted to mix in such a.

Eight shots in the back, forensically identified as suicide, are not uncommon in the United States.

Thomas could roughly guess the meaning of Martin's words, and said: "Ten years of disconnection from society, and if you come out again, you will be wasted." ”

Bruce continued: "Georgina Chapman divorced and divided his property, and there will be a civil lawsuit for compensation in the future, and he was stabbed in the back by his own brother, and he will be an ordinary person after he comes out." ”

"When Xavi gets his sentence, find someone to bring him something," Martin said. ”

Thomas was surprised: "You still want to give him a gift?" ”

Martin said directly: "Isn't it okay to give him soap?" ”

Bruce thought of the great sacrifice he had made in order to get rid of Harvey and faced Jody, and said, "I'm going to give him soap with wind oil!" ”

Martin said: "Go to Chinatown and find someone to make it custom, if you have enough money, it's no problem to double the wind oil essence." ”

Thomas then said: "Brothers Brad Pitt and Affleck are about to go to trial. ”

Martin nodded slightly and asked Bruce, "When will Mene come back?" ”

"He and Isabelle Huppert are on vacation in the Caribbean after making a movie." Bruce has a lot of contact with Mene: "I'll be coming to Los Angeles in December, and I hear what Mene means, and Huppert seems to be going to stay in Los Angeles for a while to see how the Oscars season plays out. ”

"Elizabeth will be back in a few days, and then she will have a party to welcome Huppel to Los Angeles, after all, the people Mene brought back," Martin said. ”

Coming to Warner Studios, Thomas went to Warner Building, and Martin and Bruce went to the Gone Girl studio.

The project directed by David Fincher has always been slow and meticulous, and the casting of this film has only entered the final stage.

In the front room, Léa Seydoux found Martin, laughed out a pair of bunny teeth, and said, "The crew just gave me a reply, and I got a heavyweight role." ”

Martin asked, "Which character?" ”

Léa Seydoux said: "Margo Dunn, Nick's sister. ”

Martin smiled and nodded: "Congratulations, this role has a lot of scenes, as long as you open the door of Hollywood, it will be easier later." ”

The last time Léa Seydoux starred in Quentin's "Shameless," Harvey Weinstein squeezed her into just being a farmer's daughter and one of three daughters.

Generosity is all about comparison.

Compared to Harvey, Martin is really too generous.

Léa Seydoux asked softly, "Shall we find a place to talk in the evening?" ”

"I'm afraid not tonight, I still have something to do in the evening." Martin made an appointment with Charlize yesterday to go to her house for a drink tonight, and he had to refuse Léa Seydoux.

He thought for a moment and said, "In this way, tomorrow you wait for my call." ”

The front hall of the studio was full of people, and many people's eyes were on this side, and Léa Seydoux achieved her goal, and said with a smile: "I can do it depending on your time." ”

"I'm in." Martin said a word, and went to the pull-tab room.

Léa Seydoux saw Martin leave, she came over with her agent today to discuss the contract with the crew, and deliberately stayed in the front room to wait for Martin.

Hollywood is also xenophobic, and if it is related to Martin, she can have less trouble in the crew.

In the film room, director David Fincher and original author Gillian Flynn arrived almost at the same time as Martin, and the three of them exchanged a few words of greeting and watched the audition video of the heroine together.

Because Martin has been staring at Harvey for the past few days, he did not participate in the crew's third audition.

There were only four actresses who participated in the third round of auditions, Natalie Portman, Emily Blunt, Charlize Theron, and Scarlett Johansson.

Martin plus the combination of David Finch, the attraction of the project is strong enough.

After watching the audition videos side by side, Martin asked Gillian Flynn, "You are the author of the original book, who is the most in line with the amazing Amy in your original book?" “

Gillian Flynn saw the third audition with her own eyes and said without any hesitation: "Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson are good, but Scarlett Johansson is too short." ”

Martin looked at David Fincher.

David Fincher's opinion is in line with Gillian Flynn: "Charlize Theron is the best fit. ”

Martin nodded and said, "Then choose Charlize Theron." ”

The trio were of the same opinion and had nothing to say, and David Fincher called in a production manager and asked him to call Charlize's agent.

With the selection of the heroine confirmed, the preliminary preparations for "Gone Girl" are almost complete.

Martin asked, "When are we going to officially start filming?" ”

David Fincher said: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button will be released soon, and I have to do some publicity and PR with the crew, and filming won't start until February at the earliest. ”

Martin understands the Oscar obsession in many people's hearts, after all, his biggest obsession with Oscar is a dead friend, and said: "Yes, I have no problem with the schedule." ”

David Fincher deliberately joked: "Be prepared to be a scumbag." ”

Martin couldn't help but laugh: "It's so simple. ”

The two went out of the pull-sheet room, and when they went to the office, they met Daniel who came out of the producer's office.

The latter stopped Martin: "Let's talk." ”

Martin asked, "Is the copyright issue for The Hobbit solved?" ”

"It's basically done." Daniel said roughly: "Bob Weinstein was much more communicative than Harvey, accepted Warner's $8 million offer, and voluntarily ended the entanglement. ”

Martin smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have solved one of the biggest obstacles to the project. ”

"Without Harvey, a lot of things would have been easy to solve," Daniel said. His voice changed: "By the way, do you have time?" Let's go to Warner's side together, and Barry Meyer is talking about you this morning and wants to have a good chat with you. ”

Martin would not refuse such an invitation: "Of course there is time. ”

The two left the studio and went to the Warner Building together.

In his office on the top floor, Martin meets Barry Meyer.

The two sides inevitably talked about Harvey, and this tacit attack can be said to be the key to Harvey's downfall.

Barry Meyer was also amazed at the power Martin was able to unleash.

He thought that Martin would rely more on Warner, who would have thought that Warner had not really made any effort, the tide of public opinion was already surging, Xavi let alone fighting back, and everyone was out of touch.

All Warner has to do is step on it and stomp on it hard to prevent Harvey from having a chance to turn over.

Daniel mentioned one thing: "Warner has been sorting out the old film library recently, and I am interested in remaking some films, and I will give you a list another day, if you are interested in remakes, you can take a look." ”

This is a multi-pronged thing, Martin has always had a good eye for film selection, Barry Meyer said: "Which old film you like to communicate directly with Daniel, Warner will cooperate with you." ”

Martin would not refuse this kind of kindness, and said: "No problem, after you sort it out, give me a film list, preferably with a plot introduction." ”

Daniel answered.

When leaving, Martin told Bruce to write down the incident and ask Daniel for it another day.

In Warner's library, there may be works worth remakes.

After all, there is a precedent for success, and "I Am Legend" starring Will Smith belongs to the remake and recreation of old films in the Warner Film Library.

There are too few people in Hollywood who actually make original films, and directors like Christopher Nolan will only keep getting fewer in the future.

Martin was on his way back to Beverly Hills when he received a call from Louise.

"Just got a piece of gossip about Warners from my dad that is currently only circulating in a very small circle." Louise said quickly, "Because it involves my cooperation with Warner, my father called me specifically. ”

Martin's Davis Studios, which is also working with Warners, asked, "What's the news?" Can't Warner declare bankruptcy, right? “

Louise said: "Within Time Warner, there are people who want to change the management of Warner Bros. ”

Martin understood what she meant: "Barry Meyer and Alan Horn are stepping down?" ”

"It can involve fierce personnel battles within large companies." Louise's father also got a vague message: "Let's not get involved, just wait and see." ”

Martin did not have the capital to mix in Warner's internal affairs, and said: "Listen to you, depending on the situation." ”

Warner Bros. is currently ranked No. 1 in Hollywood, with projects such as the Lord of the Rings series and the Harry Potter series becoming popular at the box office and beyond.

But if you change the coach, it's not surprising.

After all, there is no Warner without tossing.

Martin wanted to go directly to Charlize, but halfway through he received a call from Julie and Aniston, asking him to meet at the old place.

These two people jumped up and down in the recent Harvey Gate incident, and through their identity as Mi Rabbit opinion leaders, they frequently made remarks in the media and influenced the direction of entertainment, which can be described as a high degree of hard work.

Martin is a man of conscience, and it is impossible to have a new lover and forget about the old mistress.

Immediately went to the hotel and went to the meeting alone.

When it gets dark, I get out of the hotel and go to Charlize's house.

Who can understand the pain of being a man!
