American fame and fortune

The cooperation was not agreed upon, and Dwayne Johnson and his party quickly said goodbye and left.

"He seems to be very optimistic about the project you picked," Thomas said.

Martin thought of his past memories and said: "It's normal. The male protagonist in the original script fits the image he has always created."

Judging from today's situation, if he hadn't discovered "Collapse" in advance and had the first choice in the WMA, this script would have been selected by Dwayne Johnson.

"Your priority in the company is No. 1." Thomas, whose status in the brokerage company was several levels higher than Raymond's, said: "Don't worry about them, just advance the project how you want."

Martin put the matter aside for the moment and continued browsing the WMA database.

This time, nothing was gained.

During this period, he received a call from Alexandra Daddario, asking him to go out drinking at night.

Martin immediately agreed and asked her to go directly to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

Alexandra has finished filming "Sicario" and is participating in the post-production dubbing of the crew in Los Angeles.

It's a pity that Katherine Daddario is not in Los Angeles, so it is somewhat imperfect.

Just as Alexandra hung up the phone, Martin's cell phone rang again, but it was Leonardo calling.

"Asshole, come out for a drink. Jack and I will go to the Avalon Bar later. Come over here!" He reminded Martin specifically: "Remember to bring a female companion."

"Tonight?" Martin pondered for a moment: "Okay, but please wait a moment, I want to talk to Emmanuel."

Leonardo said: "Okay, we'll wait for you."

Martin turned around and called Alexandra again: "The plan has changed. You go to the Avalon Bar and wait for me first. By the way, Leo and Jack will also go there. If they go there first, you can wait for me together. a while."

Alexandra responded: "I'll be there right away."

Martin hung up the phone, left the office with Thomas, and went to the adjacent reception room, where Ali Emmanuel was waiting.

This is Martin's contract year. Thomas is not worried about the agency contract with Martin. He has seen clearly in the past few years that as long as he works seriously for Martin, Martin will not change agents.

Even if Martin wants to change brokerage companies, he can just change careers with Martin.

But Ali-Emmanuel doesn't think so. Martin is the signature of WMA, and the annual income he brings to the agency alone ranks first in Hollywood. As long as a brokerage company of some scale doesn't want to poach Martin.

The WMA has no choice, while Martin has plenty of options.

In the reception room, Emmanuel smiled and said to Martin: "We have cooperated very happily in the past few years. WMA's agent's commission has always been the lowest level in the industry. Between us..."

Martin understood what he meant and said directly: "After the contract expires, I will renew my contract with WMA for another three years."

After hearing this, Emmanuel breathed a sigh of relief, but he has not yet completely relaxed. Martin will not be able to renew his management contract with WMA early next year.

Damn California law. Look at our colleagues in South Korea, how envious they are.

Emmanuel also has the capital to win over Martin, saying: "Rahm will spare no effort to support you."

Martin smiled and said: "I hope we will have more pleasant cooperation in the future."

Emmanuel stood up and shook hands with Martin. The initiative was entirely in the hands of the other party whether to renew the contract or not.

Martin has not thought about changing his agency for the time being.

It is no exaggeration to say that as WMA's top client, the entire company is his nanny.

Although other brokerage companies contacted him, they did not offer really attractive terms.

It is better to use cooked food than raw food.

Back in agent Raymond's office, Dwayne Johnson was not very happy. The promising project had already been bought, and his mood was not very good after all.

Moreover, he is not the careless person he appears to be. Instead, he is prone to fussing over everything.

Raymond persuaded: "The copyright is already in the hands of Martin Davis. Even if we think about it, there is nothing we can do. The company has new scripts coming out every month. We will eventually find one that suits you."

Garcia, his ex-wife's manager, knows Johnson better: "Go out for a walk, meet a few friends for a drink, and your mood will feel better."

"I'm fine." Johnson showed his trademark smile and took out his mobile phone to call someone: "Lei, what are you doing? Come out for a drink."

Ray Parker, a friend he made during the filming of "G.I. Joe," replied: "Okay, I was thinking about going to a nightclub. Avalon Bar, I'll treat you."

Johnson said: "Okay, see you at the bar in twenty minutes."

Garcia patted Johnson's upper arm, which was thicker than her thigh: "Go, wine can take away your worries."

Johnson left the office, quickly went downstairs alone, drove his Mercedes-Benz G, and went straight to the Avalon Bar on Sunset Boulevard.

When we arrived at the bar, Ray Parker, who lived near Sunset Boulevard, had already arrived.

The two found a booth and ordered a bunch of wine.

The Avalon Bar and the Grapevine Manor opposite have always been nightclubs where Hollywood stars gather. It is located in Beverly Hills, where celebrities gather, and is one of the busiest areas in the Sunset Building.

As soon as Johnson sat down, Gal Gadot, who starred with him in the "Fast and Furious" series, came over to say hello.

The two of them were relatively familiar with each other, so Johnson dealt with them for a few words and then sent them away.

Ray Parker stared at the long legs walking away and asked, "Why, I'm not interested in her."

Johnson shrugged and shook his chest. Because he was wearing a tight T-shirt, his strong pectoralis major muscles trembled: "Girls with smaller breasts than me, what's the point? Touching her is better than touching myself."

Ray Parker couldn't help laughing: "Most of the female stars in the industry are no longer in the ranks you are interested in."

Johnson picked up the wine glass and had a drink with him: "Can you accept women with smaller breasts than you?"

Ray Parker poured wine for the two of them again: "I hope you find someone older than you soon."

Johnson took another sip of wine.

The two of them chatted and drank, and soon the bottle of wine was about to reach the bottom.

With the drink welling up, Johnson was in a much better mood and started talking about the movie.

Ray Parker asked with some worry: "Will there be a next "G.I. Joe" movie?"

Johnson shrugged: "Who knows, Paramount Pictures said that the commercial response was not good." He glanced at his friend opposite: "Hey, you played a masked man, and your face was never shown from beginning to end. ”

Ray Parker also drank a lot and scratched his head: "I am also an action director and stunt double. I was much better than Chad Starsky a few years ago. In the same crew, Chad can only give I'll be the deputy."

He shook his head and sighed: "Look now, Chad is a front-line action film director with a net worth of tens of millions of dollars, but what about me? My career is still the same."

Johnson said: "You, like me, lack a perfect opportunity."

At this point, he remembered the script he had read today again, and for some reason, he felt that if that script was made into a movie starring himself, it would be more successful than "Hercules".

This strange intuition is hard to explain, but it has happened to many successful movie stars.

The two drank another drink. Ray Parker picked up the bottle and was about to pour the wine. He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were attracted by a woman walking from the opposite side.

The woman was wearing a dark short coat with a white T-shirt underneath that was tight around her body, highlighting her huge advantages and making Ray Parker unconsciously think of Jennifer Connelly while riding a rocking horse.

To be precise, more prominent than Jennifer Connelly.

Ray Parker gestured with his chin: "Dawn, there's someone with bigger breasts than you."

While talking, Alexandra Daddario walked quickly past the booth and came to an empty seat diagonally opposite. After sitting down, she took out her phone and sent a message.

Now it was Johnson facing Alexandra sideways.

This woman with ice blue eyes like a husky, both in figure and appearance, are all in Johnson's taste.

Johnson recognized who she was - Alexandra Daddario.

The woman who was rumored to have had affairs with Martin Davis.

Johnson wanted to get close to him, but he hesitated.

Ray Parker's idea was very simple, and he said: "If you like it, go and ask for the contact information."

Johnson picked up the glass, drank it down, took out his cell phone, and walked over there.

Before the person even passed by, a signature smile appeared on his face, a smile that was professionally designed and trained to make people feel trustful and safe.

The early Johnson and the current Johnson look like two different people based on their appearance and demeanor.

When he first entered Hollywood, Johnson came across as aggressive.

Now, he looks like a honest, upright and strong uncle next door.

"Good evening, Alexandra." Johnson greeted with a smile.

Alexandra nodded: "Hello."

Johnson has some skills: "It's like this. I have a movie in preparation here that needs a heroine with a particularly outstanding appearance. I just saw you passing by me and I thought you might be suitable."

He smiled and invited: "Can you give me your contact information? When the recruitment of actors starts, I can contact you for the audition."

Before she met Martin, Alexandra might not have refused, but Martin helped her play heroines in many films, which broadened her horizons. She immediately declined with a smile: "My schedule is full for the next two years. ”

Johnson's smile stiffened for a moment, and he would have left in the past, but he hit a wall in the afternoon and had just drank a lot, so his thoughts were different from usual.

He added: "There is always one more choice."

Alexandra said: "Thank you, no need."

Johnson did not leave, and was still struggling.

At the door of the bar, Leonardo and Nicholson each entered the bar with their female companions.

Following Leonardo was Australian actress Margot Robbie.

Nicholson brought not Jennifer Lawrence, but daughter Lorraine.

Leonardo caught up with Nicholson in front of him and asked, "Why did you bring Lorraine here?"

Nicholson raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "Of course it is to cultivate the relationship between her and Martin so that they can get married as soon as possible."

Lorraine rolled her eyes helplessly: "You three can cause trouble as you like, but can you not drag me into it?"

"Now there's no one to deal with but Martin," Nicholson said.

Lorraine said: "Because you three are notorious, no one wants to mess with you."

Margot Robbie reminded: "Is that the female companion that Martin mentioned, Alexandra Daddario? Someone seems to be pestering her."

"That bastard Martin won't arrive until later. Let's go over and take a look." Leonardo walked forward first.

Nicholson followed.

Out of habit over the past few years, Lorraine immediately took out her phone and turned on the camera.

The main reason is that the asshole trio is always messing with people, and if you hesitate a little, you may miss a good opportunity to earn a lot of pocket money.

…………

Facing the drunken Johnson's entanglement, Alexandra gradually became impatient and said directly: "Please respect yourself!"

Johnson's head was shaken until he was dizzy. At this moment, he woke up a little. He was about to say a few words to keep his face, when someone suddenly came quickly from behind.

An old man with a bulging belly, slicked back hair, and wearing sunglasses in the bar stood between Johnson and Alexandra.

Nicholson is very senior and is the mascot of the Academy and the Oscars. Seeing that this muscular guy is entangled with his brother's mistress, he naturally has a bad tone: "Man, can't you hear that this lady has repeatedly rejected you? Show some face."

The appearance of Nicholson and Leonardo has attracted countless eyeballs. Many people turned their heads and looked here.

Being called shameless in front of everyone in public, Johnson looked a little embarrassed: "I'm inviting Miss Daddario to play a role!"

He explained with a condescending look at Nicholson, who was slightly stooped: "Please pay attention to what you say!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ray Parker immediately came to Johnson's side.

Leonardo also rushed over: "It's not a gentleman to harass a lady like this. You should apologize to her."

Lorraine chose the angle and skillfully took the photo with her mobile phone.

Margot Robbie looked back at the door of the bar, just in time to see Martin coming in, and quickly waved over there.

Martin saw what happened, and also saw Johnson, who had a bald head and almost exploding muscles on his body, and ran over quickly.

The sound of footsteps attracted more attention.

In the eyes of many people, Hollywood stars are mostly wealthy, leisurely and low-quality people.

It might not be the case elsewhere, but it's almost universally recognized among the most famous nightclubs in Los Angeles.

Too many Hollywood stars get into fights because of drinking too much or other things.

Avalon has long been used to it and did not go over to deal with it immediately.

They have rich experience, and when the anger on both sides is really vented on each other, it will not be too late for the people from the bar to show up again.

You can ask for compensation at will, and you don't have to worry about quarrels or fights affecting the bar's business. On the contrary, it can attract more people.

At this moment, the trio of bastards arrived, and the melon-eaters were all excited. Many people even gathered around, wanting to eat a big and sweet melon.

Martin came to Leonardo, glanced at Daddario opposite, and asked: "What's going on."

Leonardo said succinctly: "This bastard harassed Alexandra."

Alexandra on the opposite side nodded to Martin.

Martin turned his eyes to Johnson and said forcefully: "Apologise to her."

"I just invited Miss Daddario to play a role." There were people around. How could Johnson apologize in this situation? Moreover, Martin's tone made him very unhappy, so he couldn't help but say one more sentence under the influence of alcohol: "I remember Martin, your girlfriend is Miss Elizabeth Olsen, right? When did the person change?"

Johnson is not afraid if he really wants to take action. Not to mention himself, Ray Parker has won the All-British Martial Arts Championship.
