In the morning, not far southwest of the camp, Martin stood in front of a modified rover, carrying supplies on the ground, hot and sweaty.

It's still hot, but the crew is about to get through it.

After filming today, everyone will leave Death Valley and return to the Disney studios to shoot.

Ridley Scott shouted to stop filming.

Martin immediately opened his helmet and took it off, felt his body smoking, took off his spacesuit, and got into the air-conditioned car, only to feel like he was alive.

In the seat next to her, Louise put down her binoculars and said, "There's a Wrangler on the main road over there, I've looked closely, it should be Meghan Ellison's car, I'll drive over and walk next to her in a while." ”

Martin took a sip of water and waved his hand: "Hurry up, I don't want to talk now." ”

Louise knew that he was hot and tired, so she didn't say more, got out of the car and asked the bodyguard to drive a Mercedes-Benz big G, left the crew on the set, and turned onto the main road.

Not far away, she found that the "Lone Ranger" crew's convoy had just left the camp.

Louise retracted her gaze and looked at the Wrangler in front of her, and on a large rock next to the car, Megan Ellison, wearing a sunhat, was looking at the "Martian" crew in the distance.

The Mercedes-Benz Big G passed by Louise and asked the driver to stick to the side of the road and stopped the car.

Megan watched with interest as she got out of the car and said, "Louise Mayer." ”

Louise pushed her black-rimmed glasses up, walked up to the rock, and deliberately asked, "So interested, came to see Martin shoot?" ”

Meghan showed no weakness: "What about you? Want to come out for your little lover? ”

Louise dared to do it, and didn't mind others talking about it: "I think so, but it's a pity he doesn't need it." ”

She turned her head to look at the convoy in the distance, looked down at her watch again, and said, "It's almost noon, and you guys just came out to shoot, which is a bit inefficient." ”

Meghan looked like she was wealthy: "We have a good budget and plenty of time, so we don't need to rush." ”

Of course, Louise won't believe this kind of nonsense, and said directly: "Because of Johnny Depp, right?" ”

Hearing Depp's name, even if Meghan thinks she is very self-contained, she is not the kind of person who is moody, and her face is still gloomy.

Whoever works with that bastard for a while will want to kill.

What's more, Meghan is still an investor.

Louise said that this is naturally because the filming of "The Lone Ranger" has entered the final stage, and it is impossible to change the actor.

"You're doing a great job, really." She does have some admiration for Meghan Ellison: "If it were me, if I met an actor like Depp, I would definitely explode." ”

Meghan pretended that she didn't care at all: "Capable people will always have some quirks, and what producers have to do is to bring out their abilities." ”

Louise nodded, "Good luck." ”

Megan smiled and watched the people get into the car and go away.

When the Mercedes-Benz big G went away, she, like Louise, first looked at the approaching crew convoy, and then glanced down at her watch, her face was hard to see.

The remaining scenes of the crew all need to be filmed by Depp himself, and the crew can't work normally without Depp.

What happened a few days ago, Depp did not make any changes, he still went his own way, and everyone in the crew had to cooperate with his rhythm.

Meghan looked at the financial form, and the budget that has been added to $250 million is definitely not enough.

It's not that she doesn't want to blow up, but she is crushed by hundreds of millions of funds.

The convoy drove up, and Megan Ellison got in the car and asked the driver to follow the convoy.

Sitting in the back seat, Depp's nanny car drove by, and in the gap in the open window, the car seemed to be on fire, and a large cloud of smoke came out.

Meghan thought of the previous conversation and said to herself: "You'd better be worthy of my investment!" ”

When I came to the location, the crew got busy.

Meghan thought for a moment and called Amber Heard into her car.

Amber got into the car and said, "Miss Ellison, I've tried my best to restrain Depp, and I've argued many times about it. ”

"I know, you're doing a pretty good job." The bomb that has been expanding in the depths of my heart keeps urging Meghan: "I heard that Depp proposed to you, when will you get married?" ”

Amber said: "After the filming of this film, we will prepare for the wedding in earnest. ”

Meghan asked directly: "Because of love, or something else?" ”

Amber hesitated for a moment and said, "Because of love." ”

Meghan understood, took out a check and handed it to Amber: "After marrying Depp, collect all the things that are not good for Depp, and then wait for my notice." ”

"He's my husband!" Amber refused.

Meghan gave her another check: "You are a smart woman and should know my attitude and position towards Depp." ”

Amber knew all about this, and glanced at the number on the check: "Depp and I are a family. ”

Meghan smiled dumbly, Amber said these words very firmly, but she kept holding the check and didn't let go.

"Who is Depp, you know better than me, how long can your marriage last?" Megan didn't take out another check: "You don't want to take the initiative when you get divorced? Don't want my support? ”

She also tries to stir people as a Hollywood producer: "In the future, I will invest in many film projects, and I need a lot of movie heroines." ”

Such a price increase made Amber unable to refuse: "I did it!" ”

She was afraid that Meghan would suddenly change her mind, so she hurriedly said: "From now on, I will collect all the bastard things that Depp has done and leave direct evidence." ”

Megan finally smiled a little: "Good." ”

Amber is also ruthless in addition to the wolf's heart and dog lungs: "Depp drank alcohol and drugged, his temper is not very good, and when I get married, I will find a way to provoke him and make him violent towards me." ”

She looked at Megan: "Boss, as long as you want, I can come up with something to finish him at any time." ”

Megan was pleased with her attitude: "Start collecting every day, don't let me down, don't wait until I want to use it, you don't have anything." ”

Amber lowered her voice: "I've already started to do it. ”

Megan found out that she was underestimating this woman a little.

Los Angeles, outside Beverly Hills.

Depp's playmate Coulson enters a beautifully renovated villa and meets Fernandez, who has dealt with him several times.

The latter, remembering who Coulson was, asked: "My people went to deliver to you, and the people are gone, and the goods are gone." ”

"It's not about us, it's all Martin Davis' doing," Coulson said. ”

Fernandez had already seen the news video and said, "You stupid pigs did it." ”

"The truth of the matter is not as the media has announced." Coulson didn't expect the news to be exposed so quickly, so he could only try his best to say: "The video published on the Internet has been edited by Hollywood's top editors, and it is not a 100% fact." ”

He said: "As far as I know, Martin Davis also wants that shipment, so Sanchez and they asked for money, and as a result, there was a conflict between the two sides, which led to a shootout, which is really related to us, but the more direct reason is that Martin Davis insisted on the goods!" ”

Fernandez, of course, would not believe it easily, frowning and thinking.

Coulson added: "Martin Davis shot and knowing there was no way to hide it, reported Sanchez to the FBI!" ”

His provocation is not very clever: "The truth of the matter is that Martin Davis has messed with your goods, and he has messed with your brother, and you have lost a lot. ”

Fernandez smiled and saw through the essence at a glance: "Depp and Martin are at odds now, so you want to encourage me to make a move on Martin Davis?" ”

Coulson was stunned for a moment, but he was not embarrassed, and said: "Your brother was killed by Martin Davis, don't you want revenge?" ”

There were several subordinates standing in the living room, and Fernandez couldn't say that he didn't want to: "This matter can't be rushed, Martin Davis is not an ordinary person, and I can't take revenge and take more brothers in." ”

He waved his hand: "Okay, you can go, go back and tell Depp that in the future, he will take the goods from me, and increase the price by fifty percent, as my brother's pension." ”

Before Coulson could speak, several people came over and pushed him out.

In the living room, only Fernandez's two closest subordinates remained, and one of them asked, "Boss, what are we going to do?" ”

Fernandez said: "This matter must be cautious, we will take revenge, but we can't be used as a gun by Depp, you use your brains to think, if you take action against Martin Davis, an American national hero, whether we succeed or fail, can we still live?" ”

Both subordinates stopped talking.

"Let's leave this matter to the big boss, the big boss is a woman and has a close relationship with Hollywood." Fernández picked up his phone and dialed a number.

A pleasant woman's voice came from there: "This is Michelle Brian." ”

On the set of "The Martian", Martin finished filming the last location scene in Death Valley, returned to the crew station to take a shower, packed his belongings, and got into an Escalade driven by Bruce.

Louise followed him back to Los Angeles.

As Escalade was about to leave Death Valley National Park, Martin saw the Lone Ranger crew filming.

Louise said: "I stimulated Megan a little in the morning, and I heard the crew next door say that Meghan was going to be exploded in place by Depp several times, no matter whether the two films she cooperated with Depp succeeded or failed, she would never bear this breath." ”

Martin asked, "Won't it be if it succeeds?" I thought it would just be a failure. ”

Louise was very sure: "Absolutely not, I am also a rich and powerful woman, I can guess her thoughts somewhat." ”

Martin actually has other plans: "Even if Meghan doesn't do it, we can try to get another person to do it." “

Louise knows Martin's strengths and weaknesses too well: "You mean Amber Heard? ”

Martin said: "I think she's going to give Depp a huge surprise. ”

Louise said casually: "On top of Depp and her marriage bed, leave a big lump? ”

Hearing this smelly description, Martin quickly changed the subject: "Is there any progress on Depp's investors and financial managers?" ”

Louise said, "It's getting in touch." ”
