Chapter 676: Lao Bu Sacrificed Again
It was dark and the temperature was getting cooler, and Martin set up a barbecue grill in the open space in front of the RV to entertain Jody from afar.
Thomas, who had just arrived, brought a barrel of beer and took a glass for Martin, Louise and Jody.
Bruce brings roasted vegetables and meat.
It was the first time Jody had actually met Martin in person, and he raised his glass and said, "Thank you for your hospitality." β
Martin clinked glasses with her and said with a smile, "You should thank Lao Bu." β
Jody drank from the glass and winked at Bruce.
Bruce glanced at Jody's slender figure and pretended not to see it.
Jody toasted Louise and Thomas again, and then chatted with everyone like a normal friend.
Even if she got a clue when she came, saying that there was big news about the two crews filming in Death Valley, and she was curious to death, she still forcibly endured it.
Jody always believes that with Lao Bu's special relationship, she will definitely be able to get first-hand detailed news.
The little party didn't last long, and Martin, Thomas, and Louise got into the Mercedes Benz together.
The three of them took counsel about today's events.
Louise, on her part, has already inquired about Johnny Depp's financial manager and investment manager.
She turned on the computer in the car, clicked on a web page, searched for some information, pointed to the two images on the screen, and said to Martin: "This is Depp's investment manager Joel Mandel, and this is Depp's accountant and financial manager Robert Mandel." β
Martin asked, "Are these two brothers?" β
"Yes, they are brothers." Louise felt that there was really something wrong with Depp's head: "The younger brother is responsible for reviewing the investments that his brother is in charge of, as well as the tax situation, and the two have also jointly opened the same financial company, is there anything more outrageous than this?" β
Martin thought for a moment and then asked, "What is the reputation of the Mandel brothers?" β
Louise shook her head: "It's not very clear to the outside world because in the past eight years, they have been mainly responsible for handling Depp-related business, in other words, one Depp is enough for them to achieve high income." β
She added: "The Mandel brothers have known Depp for almost a decade and are said to have a very good relationship. β
Martin couldn't help but sigh: "Depp is really good to his friends. β
Having said that, but what should be done still has to be done, he said: "Find a way, let people contact these two people, and see if it is feasible to do this......
Louise and Thomas nodded slightly as they listened.
The former said, "Let's try it first, and then think of other ways if it doesn't work." β
Thomas answered, "I'll figure something out of it here." β
Martin said to Louise again: "You are here, stay here for a few more days, find a chance to walk around in front of Meghan Ellison, maybe you will have a common topic." β
Louise understood what he meant as soon as she heard it: "With Depp's temperament now, people like Meghan Ellison will explode at any time?" β
Martin said: "Not in the short term, it is said that the production budget of "The Lone Ranger" has increased to $250 million because of Depp. β
Louise said: "With such a huge investment, I will endure it." β
It wasn't too early, and Thomas took his leave and left.
Louise said generously: "There is no hotel nearby, I will stay with you tonight, your crew girlfriend, let her find another place to live." β
Martin had already received a call from Daddario: "She freaked out last night and went to Jessica Chastain tonight." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In another RV nearby, Bruce turned on his laptop and played the recorded videos.
From last night's Mercedes-Benz RV being attacked at gunpoint to Depp being washed in mud in the afternoon, there are all videos.
The more Jody watched it, the more excited she became, and sure enough, it was big news!
She asked Bruce, "Give me all of this?" β
"I called you, of course it was for you." Bruce said directly: "The news is sent to you, there is only one condition, to release it in the most unfavorable way for Depp." β
Jody thought it seriously.
Bruce continued: "You're a professional, it's not hard to do, the whole thing was originally done by Depp. β
Jody watched all the videos and said: "Although the matter of contacting the trafficker was determined by the FBI to be Depp's playmate, and the evidence can only go so far, people who have watched the video will definitely attribute the matter to Depp." β
She dragged the mouse and changed the video: "There is also a second conflict, and the fuse is also Depp, he peed in public on your crew, and the group mocked ...... By the way, putting this video shot by the mobile phone together with the DV video, highlighting Depp's public indecency and insulting women, he will inevitably attract overwhelming criticism. β
"That's what I want," Bruce said. β
Jody has worked her way up from the entertainment paparazzi, and has worked in TMZ for many years, and after Weinstein, he has become the deputy editor-in-chief in charge of the entertainment gossip business, and he sees some things very accurately.
She said: "If you want to deal with Depp, these alone are not enough, even if he slips from the position of Hollywood A-lister, the Pirates of the Caribbean series and "Alice in Wonderland" brought him hundreds of millions of dollars in assets are enough for him to live at ease." β
The reason why Jody said this is that in the process, a lot of hot news will be generated.
Bruce said vaguely, "Let's vent the evil air first." β
Jody sorted out these videos and said: "Depp's news also involves Martin, and it is easy to get on the front page of TMZ, and it is also appropriate to mark the front page in red for a week." β
Bruce reminded: "Many people saw what happened last night and today, the crew is temporarily away from the city, I took the relevant video again, and it hasn't been leaked out yet, you rush back to publish it immediately." β
Jody copied it to the storage disk he brought, glanced at the time it took to copy, and said, "It's not too late to leave in fifteen minutes, hurry up, Lao Bu, you can't let me take the initiative every time." β
Bruce gritted his teeth and made another sacrifice.
Half an hour later, he personally escorted Jody out of the camp.
Jody returns to Los Angeles on a helicopter rented by Bruce.
That evening, the news appeared on the front page of the TMZ website.
The video involved two Hollywood superstars, Martin and Johnny Depp, and the popularity quickly exploded.
The next morning, it was on the first place on Google's hot search list!
The two people involved in the video have diametrically opposite reputations.
People who praise Martin on the Internet make up the majority.
"It's worthy of Martin, those three sand sculpture dealers actually delivered goods to his door, and they still want to take the initiative to attack, aren't they looking for death?"
"The three traffickers brought guns and explosives, and they didn't agree and started to do it, but fortunately it was Martin on the other side, and they were replaced by someone else, and they had already gone to see God."
"The person who contacts the trafficker is the most hateful, and he clearly wants to harm Martin!"
"Johnny Depp! If he goes crazy, forget it, and it will affect others! β
Depp was bullied by crazy cyberbullying.
"I'm not surprised at all that he took drugs during filming, and it happened to Depp, I think it's normal for him to do something brain-dead."
"Rivan Phoenix just knocked the drug in Depp's bar and died dozens of meters away after coming out, right? I thought Depp had learned from Rivan's lesson and quit it all, but it turned out that I was too naΓ―ve. β
"Depp's behavior is nothing short of scum!"
"To paraphrase Depp fans, although I Depp smokes, drinks, gets tattoos, takes drugs, cheats, drives drugs and dies in all kinds of fancy ways, I, Depp is a good man!"
"Johnny Depp has no respect for women at all, and I call on all female fans to refuse to watch his films!"
"Depp blatantly insults women!"
This last point was secretly promoted, combined with the rapid spread of the video, Depp became a new target for women's rights.
But these were not enough to get rid of Depp, so Martin did not inform Julie and Aniston for the time being.
The main thing is to destroy Depp's popularity.
Depp's fans are also scolding Martin.
For example, "Martin Davis is too hypocritical, the traffickers are just misunderstandings when they find the wrong place, and it's not a big deal. β
Such a person immediately attracted a large number of voices of rebuttal.
"Misunderstanding? Guns and detonators are in front of you, is this still called a misunderstanding? I contacted a couple of gang members, pointed a gun to your head, and said it was a misunderstanding, would you like it? β
"When the two sides talk about it, the misunderstanding will be solved? The video is very clear, Martin just asked Depp to say sorry to the crew of "The Martian", what did Depp do? He unbuttoned his pants and on a group of women! Insult women! Insult the entire crew! β
"If you want me to say, Martin's temper is still too good, he should have hit the door and beat Depp into a mess!"
Related news has maintained a high level of popularity.
Of course, Depp's die-hard fans will still support him, but his popularity has plummeted.
This is not nonsense of empty words, the lethality of the video is too great.
Even if Depp's spokesman responded immediately, it still couldn't stop the surging public opinion, especially the indiscriminate bombardment of feminists.
Even, people in the circle who have worked with Depp in recent years have said that Depp is very difficult to do at work, and it is a nightmare to be in the same crew with him.
Taking advantage of this popularity, Disney Studios and Davis Studios stepped up their promotional efforts, and the name of the film "The Martian" spread throughout North America.
The popularity of the film rose all at once.
The crew officially released the first promotional poster, Martin wearing an astronaut helmet, standing on the barren Mars.
In addition to the name of the film and the list of main creators, the poster also has a striking subtitle.
"Save yourself or die!"
The popularity of "The Martian", which is being filmed, has soared!
Almost at the same time, the edition of The Martian was officially published, and the original author, Andy Weir, easily entered the top three of the New York Times bestseller list after signing it in New York for three consecutive days!
Andy Weir instantly became a sought-after best-selling author in the United States.
A newspaper ridiculed this: "Authors who are looking forward to a book becoming famous, don't hesitate, take the work you are working on, go to Los Angeles to find Martin Davis or Davis Studio, as long as Martin can take a fancy to it, you will soon become a best-selling author!" β
Although this is a joke, it is also a portrayal of the real situation.
Davis Studio's mailbox for public delivery of scripts, and suddenly the number of deliveries skyrocketed, and it was no longer only scripts that were delivered, but many of them were also delivered here.
It is no less prosperous than a small publishing house.
The studio has dedicated personnel to handle related affairs, and the electronic version is entered and forwarded to Martin's mailbox so that Martin can check it at any time.
No one can guarantee that there won't be anything like "Gone Girl" or anything like that.
