Southern California, Death Valley National Park.

The huge convoy drove southeast along the old road to the camping ground in the desert and wasteland area, and settled down.

Martin got out of the van and found another crew stationed at the camp.

The campsite is very large, and the crew on the opposite side has more than 100 cars of all kinds, which occupies a large area.

Bruce went to ask and came back and said, "It's a coincidence that the crew of Annapurna Films' "The Lone Ranger" is also on location in Death Valley. ”

It took time for the crew to settle in, and Martin headed that way.

Bruce hurried to follow.

On a high protruding rock platform, director Ridley is observing the scenery around him.

Martin jumped up to it in a few steps, his hands on the pergola and looking west.

Ridley pulled out a viewfinder and handed it to Martin: "Looking southwest, it's a good location for filming in the plains of Acydaria." ”

Martin adjusted the viewfinder focus slightly, and said, "The background is still a green screen. ”

After all, the plain of Asidalia is above Mars, and the sky is completely different.

Suddenly, someone diagonally opposite waved in this direction: "Ridley! ”

Martin found out to be an unfamiliar face.

Ridley Scott squinted for a moment, beckoned over there, and whispered to Martin, "Bill Wilson, a veteran producer in the industry, is now the content director of Annapurna Films. ”

Because of Meghan Ellison's relationship, Martin knows who this is: "The producer of the Mavericks." ”

Ridley knew each other and got off the stage: "Go over and talk a few words." ”

Martin also came down, and was just about to pass over, when someone was running behind him.

Alexandra Daddario ran over and grabbed Martin's arm: "I won't be able to find you when I get out of the car." ”

Martin smiled and walked forward with her: "I've been sitting in the car for too long, move around and breathe." ”

D'Addario took Martin's arm and walked over.

Ridley saw Martin coming over and introduced him to Wilson.

Although the two have not directly met, the two crews live next to each other and are no strangers to each other.

Martin was not polite at all, and said directly: "I am very familiar with the project you are working on and shooting, can I have a chance to go over and watch you shoot?" ”

Wilson, of course, knew that "The Lone Ranger" was "snatched" from Martin, saying: "Both of us were filming in this area, and it was inevitable that we would move around each other. ”

Martin suddenly noticed that behind the trailer diagonally opposite, a large number of people were turning out.

The leader was Meghan Ellison, and Johnny Depp led Amber Heald and seven or eight henchmen to wander around the neighborhood, with a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in the middle.

Meghan Ellison probably heard Martin's words and invited: """Transcendental Hacker" will be released at the end of the year, this "Lone Ranger" will be released early next year, and I have already negotiated the release with Warner Bros., welcome to the premiere." ”

Martin's face turned blue instantly: "I'll participate." ”

Megan deliberately asked, "Are there any promising movie projects lately?" We can talk a little bit more. ”

Ridley heard about Martin and Megan Ellison and offered to help Martin out: "Let's go back." ”

Martin was just about to leave when the girl next to Depp and Amber suddenly ran over.

She shouted as she ran, "Sect Master, wait! ”

Martin stopped.

"My name is Lily Rose." The girl blinked innocently and said, "I'm your fan, can you help me sign an autograph?" ”

Martin knew that this was Depp's daughter, and nodded with a smile: "Of course you can." ”

Bruce handed over a signature pen.

Lily-Rose didn't bring a notebook and simply turned around: "Is it okay to sign it on my clothes?" ”

Martin swiped a line on it: May Angel Lily be happy every day, and finally pay the money.

Lily-Rose pulled out another iPhone and asked, "Is that okay?" ”

Seeing Martin nodding, Daddario took the phone and took a few photos of Lily-Rose and Martin.

Lily Rose stood beside her, and Martin faintly smelled a puff of smoke.

"Thank you, Master." Lily Rose was especially happy: "I adore you forever!" ”

She waved her hand and went back to Johnny Depp and the guys.

Martin didn't pay any more attention to Meghan Ellison, pulled D'Addario back, and asked as he went, "Do you smell the weird smell on the girl?" ”

Young Americans, especially Hollywood insiders, are no strangers to this, and Daddario is very sure, saying, "Mix the smell of burning." ”

She looked back at Depp: "This is the most unreliable father I've ever seen." ”

Martin said: "We can't control other people's affairs. ”

He and Daddario walked around the neighborhood and returned to the crew's station, where the camping work was basically completed.

There is no hotel nearby, and the crew will live in the trailer for the time being, and because there are too many vehicles, the camp is connected to "The Lone Ranger".

The crew will not be filming in the camping area, and there will not be much influence on either side.

As the investor, producer, and actor of the project, Martin is certainly treated the best, and Ridley Scott can't compare.

The largest and most luxurious Mercedes-Benz RV in the whole crew has become Martin's temporary residence.

Hollywood's A-list stars, if they can't stay in a hotel when they go out on location, most of them will ask the crew to be equipped with this level of RV.

There is also another regular motorhome next to it, which serves as Bruce's accommodation.

Originally, Bruce planned to sleep on the large sofa in the Mercedes RV, which was comfortable enough.

But seeing that the name of Daddario was in the list of new actors joining the crew, he simply asked for an RV.

"I only shot three days on location on the set." Daddario followed Martin into the RV and said, "Although I'm leaving in three days, the space where I live is a bit small. ”

She said pitifully, "You know, it's uncomfortable for me to live in a cramped place. ”

Martin took the initiative to invite: "I have a lot of space here, you can live here with me." ”

D'Addario offered to negotiate the room fee: "Martin, can I borrow it from you?" ”

Martin is a good guy and doesn't refuse: "Of course you can." ”

At dinner time, Martin called D'Addario to go to the dining car for dinner.

While picking up the meal, he met Jessica Chastain.

The latter whispered: "I asked a few other actors, as well as Ridley, to have a drink together after eating?" ”

Martin asked, "Ridley agrees?" ”

Jessica Chastain smiled playfully, "Only one drink." ”

Martin nodded: "Then have a drink, you have to rest early tonight, and you have to get up early tomorrow." ”

Jessica Chastain turned her head to look at Daddario who was back at the table, and jokingly closed the distance: "Are you sure you can get an early rest tonight?" ”

"I'm in good health, so I won't be able to work tomorrow," Martin said. ”

Most of the location scenes filmed in Death Valley require wearing spacesuits, and it takes nearly two hours from makeup to costumes, and the main actors, including Martin, will have to get up at six o'clock tomorrow to prepare.

After dinner, the crowd drank a small glass and young actors like Martin, D'Arddario, Jessica Chastain and Rick Martinez climbed to the top of a rocky hill at the back of the camp to see the stars.

All around is wilderness, there are no clouds in the sky, and the stars are exceptionally bright.

Martin stood on the top and overlooked the entire camp, where two huge crews and a small number of travelers formed a camp within a radius of several miles.

Jessica Chastain came over and said, "It just so happened that when we were in the studio, they were across from us, and now they're still there. ”

Martin said: "Maybe it's fate. ”

…………

In the camp of the crew of "The Lone Ranger", there is also a super luxurious Mercedes-Benz RV.

This is the temporary residence of Captain Johnny Depp.

However, this RV is more luxurious than the one Martin lives in, with two bedrooms built inside, with the smaller bedroom temporarily housing Lily Rose.

The large bedroom is naturally the temporary love nest of Depp and Amber.

After dinner, Amber went to meet Meghan Ellison.

Meghan is an investor who likes to go deep into the crew, and Amber is one of her hands who secretly regulates Depp.

Although Depp is still late, hungovers, on drugs and can't remember lines, Jerry Bruckheimer insists that he is a good actor with strong market appeal.

For the sake of future commercial gains, even if Meghan has a fire in her belly, she can only endure it temporarily.

Amber returned to the area where the actor lived, got into the Mercedes Benz RV, Depp took a shower in the bathroom, and his fox friend hadn't come over yet.

However, there are a lot of things on the low table in front of the sofa in the small living room of the RV.

A couple of golden whiskeys, which were also filled with two glasses, and in front of the heavy metal CD bag was Depp's credit card, next to a metal box with a skull.

The box has been opened, and inside it is a special item such as cigarette rolls.

This is Depp's daily food.

Amber glanced at the bathroom, where there was still the sound of rushing water, and she took out her phone and took pictures of the low table, recording it all.

It didn't take long for Depp to come out of the bathroom, sit on the sofa wrapped in a bathrobe, take out some things, and say to Amber, "Help me get it." ”

Amber was not angry: "Get it yourself." ”

Depp had to get it himself.

The Mercedes RV door rang, and Lily Rose came back from outside, sitting on the couch next to her.

Depp has no scruples about his daughter.

Amber had seen it many times and said nothing.

Depp glanced at it, just like he looked at his daughter eating and drinking, without any indication that he was busy with his own business.

Soon, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps at the door, and Depp's fox friends had all arrived.

These people, like Depp, drank and drugged and had a lot of fun, and the party lasted all night.
