Sunset Boulevard, Grapevine Estate Bar.

Martin entered the private room on the second floor, and there were only two people inside, Musk and his new girlfriend Amber Heard.

The bag has good sound insulation, and you can't hear the outside sound after closing the door.

"Hi my friend!" Musk got up to greet Martin and opened his arms to hug him: "You've finally returned to sunny Los Angeles from the cold East Coast." ”

Martin saw three red lip prints on his face and said, "Your look tonight is very chic." ”

Musk laughed and looked behind him: "This is Amber gave it to me." ”

Amber beckoned from behind: "Hey Martin, we're meeting again." ”

Martin nodded to her, sat down on the single sofa, opened the bottle of wine he brought, and said, "Taste the good wine I brought." ”

Amber took the bottles and poured them one by one.

The three of them had a drink together.

Musk was direct and said: "Please drink, there is something I want to consult you about." ”

Martin put down his glass: "You talk about it first." ”

"Amber and Depp's divorce lawsuit will go to court soon, and it will last for many days." Although Musk is very scumbag, he is very concerned about the girlfriend he is dating: "You have been entangled with Depp for so long, do you have any suggestions that can get more favorable conditions for Amber?" ”

Although the news of Depp's domestic violence in the media is full of hype, and the entertainment is biased in favor of Amber Heard, Martin doesn't believe a word of what this woman says.

However, he was happy to make Depp unlucky, thought about it, and only said one name: "Lily Rose Depp." ”

Amber answered: "Depp took drugs in front of his daughter several times, and also induced her and provided her with seaweed, I filmed all of this!" ”

Musk advised: "Communicate well with your lawyer, as long as these are true, Depp's words will no longer be credible, and a person who doesn't even care about his daughter will care about other people?" ”

Martin didn't say anything more, just poured himself a glass of wine and tasted it slowly.

Musk asked again: "Martin, are there anything else?" ”

Martin shrugged: "Other lawyers are more professional than us. ”

Musk shook his head at Amber: "Go talk to your lawyer." ”

Amber still wanted to speak, but glanced at Musk's expression and quickly left the box.

"This woman has a lot on her mind." With Musk's old way, of course, you can see what kind of woman Amber Heard is: "The heart is also very wild." ”

Martin casually reminded: "Don't be bitten by a snake in the end." ”

Musk said: "If the snake is disobedient, I will put it in a rocket and launch it on Mars." ”

He paused slightly, and suddenly asked, "What do you think Amber looks like?" ”

Martin told the truth: "When it comes to appearance, Hollywood is first-rate." ”

Musk asked again: "Are we good friends?" ”

Martin nodded casually, "Of course." ”

"I watched entertainment gossip some time ago, you seem to have found a pair of sisters?" Musk has money and leisure, and it is inevitable that the project: "Wait for the next time I have a party, you will bring them over?" ”

Martin looked at the white fat man vigilantly: "What do you want to do?" Elon, my marksmanship is very accurate, and blowing a person's head from 800 meters away is similar to eating and drinking. ”

Musk got to know Martin and thought that he might be the most powerful among billionaires, and quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to play a swap game, I'm not the kind of person who eats white food, and I'll bring Amber Heard and Tanlula Riley with me then." ”

He specifically added: "Tanlula is not only a beautiful actress, but also a Ph.D. in quantum physics from Caltech." ”

"Wait!" Martin didn't understand this point: "If I'm not mistaken, Tanlula Riley is your wife." ”

Musk said: "It's already an ex-wife, and I divorced her. ”

Martin asked, "Break up peacefully?" ”

Musk nodded: "I gave her $16 million, we are still friends after the divorce, she is ready to go back to Hollywood for development, among the Hollywood bigwigs I know, the most reliable is you......"

He said, "Haven't you always liked this genre? I recommend Tanlula to you for her future considerations. ”

"Stop! Stop! Martin shouted to Musk: "You are too wild and flowery, a conservative person like me can't bear it, don't talk about exchanging Amber and Tanlula, I respect women's right to choose freely, don't talk about this matter again." ”

Musk shook his head vigorously: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person." ”

Martin said, "I'm a good guy compared to you. ”

"Good man Martin, do me a favor." Seeing that Martin didn't take the bait, Musk simply threw away the price he was prepared to pay, and said directly: "I read the media reports, you have reached a cooperation agreement with the crew of "Interstellar" to serve as the actor and producer, such an interstellar travel blockbuster, it is very suitable to introduce my SpaceX as the main sponsor." ”

Martin asked, "Main sponsor?" ”

Musk said: "I read the script, I want the space base to become a base for SpaceX, I found Spielberg, he said that the plot and shooting and production of the film, directed by Nolan, but I am not familiar with director Nolan, I heard that he is a stubborn and old-fashioned person, if you can't make a good impression the first time, it will be difficult to convince him again." ”

He looked at Martin: "I specifically know that you have a very good relationship with Nolan. Martin, Tesla will have the next round of funding soon, and I will leave you with the same share as last time......"

Martin thought for a moment and said, "I can introduce you to Nolan, and if Nolan asks for my opinion, I will support you, but you still have to do the specific work." ”

In order to build momentum for SpaceX and Tesla, Musk tried all kinds of methods, and immediately said: "No problem." ”

Before the two had finished their bottles, Martin took his leave and returned to Beverly Hills.

Lily and Elizabeth are in Los Angeles, and he returns to Davis Manor every day.

The next morning, after a routine dance and piano practice, Martin met Jonathan Nolan in Louise's office.

Subsequently, David Fincher also rushed over.

The four of them chatted for half an afternoon, and basically reached a cooperation intention on the project of multiple personalities.

According to Martin's opinion, the project was officially named "Split".

Jonathan Nolan will be the main writer of the script.

"I need 1 year left to finish the script." Jonathan told Martin: "In addition to the two biographies and the script of 'The Crowded Room,' I'm going to have to interview Billy himself and the doctors of the day, and preferably go to Ohio to find the people involved in the case and find out more about the situation." ”

Martin is more familiar with Jonathan and knows his creative style, a screenwriter who is not prolific, but pays attention to meticulous creation, and immediately responded: "Okay, so be it, the script will be finalized by September next year." ”

David Fincher is going to shoot and produce "House of Cards" for Netflix next year, and he doesn't have time to direct it.

Jonathan said: "I'll tell my agent to come over and talk to you about the contract. ”

At the end of this meeting, Martin got up and shook hands with Jonathan and David Fincher: "We kept in touch and communicated in a timely manner when we had problems. ”

This is Jonathan Nolan's first work after leaving Christopher Nolan, and his goal is clear, to prove to all of Hollywood that without Christopher, he is still a first-class screenwriter.

As for directing a work alone, Jonathan is familiar with Hollywood mechanics and knows that he can't rush and needs to take it one step at a time.

Seeing off David Fincher and Jonathan Nolan, Martin chatted with Louise again.

A gold-medal screenwriter like Jonathan Nolan can't get paid less than $3 million.

Hollywood's top screenwriters can get a single salary of $5 million.

The screenwriters who are currently standing at the top of Hollywood are Alan Sorkin and Paul Haggis, the former is biased towards TV drama production, "The White House" is his masterpiece, and "Moneyball", which directly competed with Martin in last year's awards season, is also written by him.

Paul Haggis is more famous, he wrote and directed "Crash" won the Oscar for Best Film, and then served as a screenwriter for "Million Dollar Baby", "The Last Kiss", "The Flag of the Fathers", "Letter from Iwo Jima", "Casino Royale", "Quantum of Solace" and so on, all of which caused strong reactions.

However, the style of these two people's works is not suitable for "Split".

A few days later, Martin summoned the face gang to go to the night club to wash his face, invited Nolan and Musk, and took the opportunity to introduce the two.

Getting to know each other in this environment is conducive to increasing mutual relationship and trust.

Especially after washing your face and feeling refreshed, it will go more smoothly when you talk about things.

Nolan is a commercial director, and Martin pulls on it, so he doesn't rule out commercial sponsorship without having too much negative impact on the filmmaking.

Moreover, the development of computer special effects technology has almost completely reversed from large-scale live action shooting.

In big-budget films, many scenes are shot with live-action props and are expensive, but CGI generation is cheaper.

Nolan is a director who insists on live action, and in a film like Interstellar, live action means a huge investment.

Musk can provide $8 million in sponsorship.

Nolan wants to include this part of the sponsorship in the cost of filming, not in the film's revenue.

Specifically, several companies need to talk together.

After washing his face and going downstairs, Musk specially pulled Martin to walk at the back.

The white fat man was in a good mood and said, "I want to thank you for today's events, when you have time, I will ask Tanlula to come out for dinner together." ”

Martin was helpless: "Even if you get divorced, you don't have to sell me your ex-wife." ”

Musk said as he walked: "Compared to those perverts in Hollywood, you can rest assured that you will be able to take care of her." ”

Martin said, "Don't forget your promise on Tesla, Tanlula or something, I'm not interested. ”

Musk suddenly figured it out and patted his head: "I almost forgot, you are interested in someone else's wife, and Tanlula divorced me...... Otherwise, I'll find a chance to remarry Tanlula and then ask you out? ”

Hearing these words, Martin suddenly remembered a sentence: perverts are more likely to meet perverts.
