Just three days after filming, Ridley Scott summoned the crew's post-production department and began post-production of "The Martian" at Disney Studios.

Even Martin, an investor, couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You can take an extra week off." ”

Ridley is old and strong: "I don't have time to rest, and I'm going to start shooting a new alien movie with Twentieth Century Fox early next year. ”

Martin had seen all the alien movies and said, "I've been looking forward to your alien movies for a long time. ”

Ridley said: "It's a pity that the new alien movie doesn't have a prominent male lead, and the most attractive thing about the movie is not in the human character, otherwise I would have invited you to star in it." ”

Working with Martin on the film is really worry-free, and there are not so many messy things in the shooting.

Martin politely said: "There will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Ridley said: "When this alien movie is finished, I'm ready to make another big-budget epic, Martin, how about we continue to work together then?" ”

Martin said in his heart, I'm just polite, won't you drag me to jump into the pit together, right? Or a pit on fire!

But he wouldn't be stupid enough to say stupid things like you're not fit for an epic, after all, epics are Ridley's true love.

Martin asked, "Which piece of history are you going to shoot this time?" ”

Ridley clearly had a point in mind: "I plan to bring the magnificent life of the French Emperor Napoleon to the big screen. ”

Martin found reasons and excuses: "I may not be a good fit. He gestured at his height: "It's not convincing in size." ”

Ridley glanced at Martin, who was a cut taller than him, and nodded, "Let's talk about it then." ”

Martin didn't want to talk to Ridley anymore, lest he drag him into the pit again, and said, "I'll go check out the other departments." ”

Ridley was about to get to work and waved his hand and entered the editing room.

Martin hurriedly withdrew, and in the recent period, he had to meet with Ridley less than necessary, and when his schedule was arranged, he would have a legitimate excuse to refuse.

After leaving the studio, Martin went to the crew of "Napoleon Beauty Pass", which was also at Disney Studios.

The film has also finished filming and is in post-production.

Marius and Alexandrovich were busy editing, Martin didn't bother them and chatted with Olena for a while.

The latter took out the finished script of "Servant of the People" and handed it to Martin for him to review.

Martin carefully looked at the first third and said: "The idea of the script is the same as what we discussed at the beginning, the comedy atmosphere is strong, and the satire is also very strong, although I don't know much about the social situation in Ukraine, but after reading the script, I am looking forward to the finished film." ”

Olena didn't expect Martin to have such a high evaluation, and hurriedly said: "The main thing is that everything that happens in Ukraine is too magical, and it provides us with excellent creative materials." ”

Martin thought of the sarcastic part and asked: "Will there be trouble broadcasting in Ukraine?" ”

"It's not a big problem." Olena is not only a screenwriter, she has worked as a producer before: "Aleksandrovich and I can solve it. ”

She looked at Martin, "Not to mention that we still have the support of you, the American hero." ”

Martin laughs and says, "Your talent deserves support. ”

There was a knock on the door from the outside, and Aleksandrovich pushed the door in, saw the two discussing the script for the next play, and stepped forward to shake Martin's hand, saying: "After we finished the production of "Napoleon Belle Pass", we immediately began to prepare for this new TV series project. ”

He explained something in advance: "This is a series set entirely in Ukraine, and it needs to be filmed in Ukraine." ”

"Yes." Martin is still the same as before, his people supervise the financial expenses of the crew, and the actual filming and production are handed over to the three of Alexandrovic.

Alexandrovich added: "My plan and Marius's plan is that the studio of the series will be registered in Los Angeles and go to Kyiv to shoot under the name of American funds, which will be a lot less troublesome." ”

Martin understood what he was thinking, and replied, "I will have someone to help you." ”

Aleksandrovich believes that Martin is the key to his future development, and took the initiative to say: "Boss, you mentioned last time that you want to invest in Ukraine, this studio can be registered as a comprehensive company, and I will help to develop business in Ukraine step by step." ”

The other party invited such a warm invitation, and Martin was embarrassed to refuse: "Yes, I will send someone to inspect the investment at that time." ”

Aleksandrovich smiled enthusiastically and told Martin a lot about the situation on the Ukrainian side, and even gave the illusion that if there is an opportunity in the future, it is not impossible to sell the country to Martin.

Martin and the two discussed "Servant of the People" carefully, and it was actually fun to watch the comedy turn into a biopic and make some pocket money by the way.

In other words, is Alexandrovich the first actor in history to play the role of president and finally become the president?

Martin is looking forward to the day when Aleksandrovich will become the protagonist of the world.

Davis Studios has signed a contract with the Alexandrovich trio, and the rights to the show are completely in their hands, and if the first season works well, a second season will definitely be filmed later.

Back at the studio, Martin enters the office, and Jessica sends an invitation, but it is an invitation to NASA's investor show.

The show will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Martin collected the invitation and called Disney Studios to inquire about the schedule of "Napoleon Beauty".

Although this film will be completed earlier than "The Martian", the release will be at the back, and Disney Studios has reserved for the release at the end of January and early February next year, depending on the schedule.

The three of Alexandrovich will be able to truly break into the North American entertainment market by then, which can be described as full of enthusiasm.

The success of "Fast and Furious 2" is a good start for the cooperation between Martin and Disney Pictures.

Martin opens the company's library to see the latest scripts and manuscripts that have arrived.

Although the number of receipts has increased recently, the vast majority of them, as in the past, are of poor quality.

Every year, there are often not one out of a thousand scripts that can enter the review process, and Martin understands that it is normal to encounter them.

Not to mention, many of them were rejected by various publishers, and when they saw the success of "The Martian", they chose to try their luck on Martin's side.

These people are dreaming of being the next Gillian Flynn or Andy Weir.

Martin was not their Bole.

It took half a day to read dozens of scripts and the beginning, but Martin didn't get anything, the quality was too poor, and it couldn't be used to pit people.

The kind of script that can trick people is often quite neat and even brilliant in the script stage.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Martin asked Bruce to get into a business car and get to Los Angeles International Airport on time.

It didn't take long for Elizabeth Olsen and Lily to walk out of the terminal together.

Seeing Martin who came to pick up the airport, Elizabeth immediately ran over, ignoring the paparazzi and melon-eating crowds who gathered around, and hugged Martin for a hot kiss.

Lily waited for a while before the dog man and woman separated, and she whispered, "Let's go home and do the rest, don't let people watch the excitement." ”

Martin glared at Lily, put their luggage away, and pulled Elizabeth into the car.

After getting into the car, Elizabeth got tired of getting tired of Martin's arms.

Lily took out her phone, adjusted the camera, and said, "You go on." ”

Martin was not polite to her at all, and asked directly: "I haven't seen you for a while, you miss my fist, right?" ”

Elizabeth took his hand: "We just came back, and you threaten people again." ”

Lily said, "Lao Bu, I heard that you guys are shooting again?" ”

"You ask Martin!" Bruce went straight up to the front and rear baffles, not rambling with the three of them.

Martin looked at Lily, "What's going on with you today?" Ate dynamite? ”

Lily shrugged: "Met a fool on the plane." ”

Martin was surprised: "What's going on?" ”

Lily didn't speak.

Elizabeth roughly said: "On the plane, someone was discussing politics with Lily, and Lily was rarely defeated by magic. ”

Martin looked at Lily: "Women can also be in politics?" ”

"It was the woman who started it, and she's a Jewish designer." Lily elaborated: "I took classical art history because of carving, and it just so happened that she had also studied, and the two of us had a conversation about ancient Rome, Canaan, King David, and now the Middle East, and we had a disagreement. ”

Martin said, "You're so boring. ”

Elizabeth laughed happily.

Lily said, "I was talking to her speculatively, but when she suddenly said that the entire east coast of the Mediterranean Sea was all Israel's land, I naturally retorted and asked her what the legal basis was, and then she held up the Bible and said that it was the evidence." ”

Martin asked, "What about the back?" ”

Lily added: "I told her about the division of the United Nations, and she told me that the United Nations was an illegal body. ”

Elizabeth leaned back and laughed.

Lily was quite helpless: "No matter what she says, she has a point, and in the end I didn't bother to talk to her anymore." ”

"No one can convince anyone of this kind of thing." Martin said casually: "Next time you meet, don't debate with anyone." “

Lily nodded, "yes, she always has a reason to think that what she says is the truth. ”

Martin laughed too: "Isn't that it? The truth is only within the range of the cannon, and the Israeli cannon over there has the farthest range and the most powerful explosion, so it naturally grasps the truth. ”

Back at Davis Manor, as soon as Martin brought Elizabeth's luggage in, Elizabeth pulled Martin up the stairs in a hurry, and before he reached the second floor, someone hung on Martin.

Martin just picked her up.

Elizabeth said, "I want to know what the truth tastes like." ”

Martin carried the man into the master bedroom.

Downstairs, Lily dragged in with two heavy suitcases, neither saw Martin nor could find Elizabeth, guessed where the dog man and woman had gone, and couldn't help but give a middle finger to the second floor.

She also secretly scolded Elizabeth for not talking about sisterhood, and not calling her for fun things.
