Chapter 112 New tricks and new gameplay (league leader plus 11)

 The fashion party was held in a luxurious manor in Beverly Hills. Bruce drove a Volkswagen car behind Louise's Bentley to support Martin at any time.

The car arrived at the gate of the manor, and when Louise, dressed in a dress, generously held Martin's arm and walked in, Bruce spat out the dog food.

  I have been fed too much recently and I feel like vomiting.

 The front patio setting for a party is a typical example of fashion, with the hostess Joanna standing in front of the fountain to greet the guests.

Kate Winslet had been waiting for Louise. When she saw her coming with Martin on her arm, she hurried up to meet her and hugged her friend: "You are so beautiful tonight."

 Then he turned to Martin and said: "Handsome guy, you finally came to Los Angeles to develop... Let me take a closer look, you and Louise are simply a golden child."

Like a gentleman, Martin took Kate's hand and kissed the back of it gently: "Beautiful British rose, can we dance together later?"

“No problem.” Kate led the way: “I’ll introduce you to you.”

 Louise nodded: "It's better for you to make a formal introduction than for me to rush over."

 The three of them walked to the fountain, and Kate introduced Louise and Martin to Joanna, who was also from England.

 Harvey Weinstein also came over from one side and chatted with Louise for a few words.

 Soon, the three Martins left and walked towards the crowd.

Louis asked: "Kate, are you going to use Harvey Weinstein's power?"

 Kate shook her head: "It's useless this time. The movie is not his, how can he contribute." She wanted to win the Oscar for Best Actress: "Let's wait until later. If it doesn't work this time, Joanna can help me somewhat."

 Louise’s sincere advice: “Find a psychotic or ugly character.”

Kate couldn't help laughing and looked at Martin: "I remember you said this last time."

This was not a joke at first. Martin was self-aware: "I don't even know which way the college door opens."

Kate came over and held Louise's arm: "Can I lend you your female companion for a few words?"

 Martin automatically slowed down.

Kate whispered: "If Harvey Weinstein comes to talk to you in private, make sure Martin comes with you."

 Louis knew what she meant: "I will not cooperate with him, and I have no interest in cooperating with him."

"If possible, I don't want to." Kate still said the same thing: "If you don't win an Oscar, there is always something missing."

Louis could only say: "I wish your dreams will come true soon."

Kate unconsciously gestured with her hands: "Because I won a high box office, I was discriminated against by a group of old men with no commercial achievements. Where can I reason?"

 “Don’t talk about these troublesome things.” Louise also lowered her voice: “Do me a favor later.”

 She and Kate whispered for a while before stopping.

Kate responded: "Okay, it has nothing to do with you, it's mainly because Martin treated me well in Atlanta."

 Louise's face changed instantly, and her slutty aura couldn't even be suppressed by a formal evening dress: "What? Sam can't satisfy you? Kate, if you want to join in, I don't mind, and Martin certainly doesn't mind either."

Kate threw up her arm: "I'm going to find Wes Craven."

 Martin followed from behind and asked, "Can it be done?"

Louis said: "Do you think there is anything wrong with Kate's acting skills?"

Martin vaguely saw the tall Wes Craven, and pulled Louise up: "Let's go through the other side."

 Louise asked: "Are you sure it will work?"

"Not sure. You said Wes Craven likes group parties, so I'll give it a try." Martin said the same thing: "Try hard, and if it doesn't work, quit."

He whispered: "You have squeezed out a lot of funds here. If you don't go to the platter in the short term, I have to think of a way. Do you really want to support me? What will happen if you squeeze me dry and kick me out?"

The two of them walked around in a circle, and waited until Kate and Wes Craven struck up a conversation, then walked over there in a hurry, greeting people on the way, just like people in normal social interactions.

In addition to Kate, Wes Craven's small circle also includes two people, the actors of the "Scream" series David Arquette and Courteney Cox.

 The latter is one of the heroines of "Friends" and is very famous.

These people are discussing horror movies.

 Martin and Louise walked over, and Louise greeted Kate: "So you are here."

Kate smiled: "I met Wes, and David and Courteney happened to come over, and we talked about horror movies together."

 Craven looked at Louise briefly: "You are Mel's daughter."

Louise said: "Yes, my father has mentioned you several times. He is a loyal fan of the A Nightmare on Elm Street series."

 Then she introduced Martin.

　　Everyone will pay attention to the male companion you bring to a formal occasion, even if you don’t know him. If Martin himself is unable to participate in such a circle, he can only borrow Louise's influence.

 It’s not wrong to say that you are being taken care of.

A few people exchanged brief greetings, and Kate glanced at the faces of Martin and Louise, and the topic immediately turned back to horror movies: "The first Scream summed up the bad rules of a series of horror movies, but in the end , still following these old paths.”

Craven agreed: "Today, it is difficult for American horror films to innovate. The Scream series is also old wine in new bottles. It is just that the killing method is more unexpected, the identity of the murderer is more special, and the reason for the murder is more outrageous..."

Courteney continued: "Some Eastern horror elements are good. DreamWorks adapted a Japanese horror film."

But Craven said: "The response is average, the culture is different, and the market acceptance is different."

Louise said from the perspective of an investor: “There is still an audience for traditional plasma films, and in the past two years, there have been a number of such films that have become hits.”

 Martin also joined in: "The idea of ​​"Death is Coming" is good, but the sequel is also formulaic."

Louise said: "It is difficult to reinvent a new horror film model, and investors will have a difficult time."

Craven fully agrees: "No one is willing to invest. No matter how good the idea is, it is just an idea. Production companies are conservative and just want to continue the successful model. Innovation means huge unknown risks."

Martin said: "So, Freddy and Jason did one after another."

Seeing Martin and Louise joining the conversation, Kate spoke less.

Louise added: "Last year, we also filmed a movie called Freddy vs. Jason. In fact, I think the monsters from different movies look very interesting when put together."

  Craven is the screenwriter and producer of that film: "It can be considered an appropriate innovation among conservatives."

Martin continued his words: "What about integrating more horror monsters into one movie? Such as pythons, unicorns, tooth fairies, killers, giant bats, ghosts, zombies, witches, werewolves, etc., look for With a suitable story and idea, put them into a movie and engage in a massacre, will horror movie fans be hooked? "

Craven imagined in his mind: "It's a bit messy, I can't imagine it now."

"This is just my humble opinion." Martin looked at Louise: "Next week's costume party, how about I create a scary monster theme? In the dark night, all kinds of scary monsters wander around, it's exciting just thinking about it."

 Louis said: "You make up your mind."

Kate sent an assist: "Sounds interesting, can I participate?"

Martin said: "Of course, it's my honor." He took the opportunity to extend an invitation: "David, Wes, Courteney, if you are interested, you can also come."

Louis said with a smile: "He always likes to brag that he is the king of parties and likes to come up with fancy new tricks. You are the one to judge."

David and Courtney asked about the time and only said they would attend when they had time.

Craven loved parties. He had not attended many parties in the past two years, mainly because he lacked enough fresh excitement. Hearing Martin's words, he also became interested and said seriously: "You bring out a bunch of scary monsters, so I can take a look at them." The effect of being together.”

Who is Martin? His words immediately became lofty: "I have also participated in the shooting and production of horror films, and we happened to be holding a special seminar on the theme of horror films."

Craven needs to maintain his style in front of others: "This topic is of great research value."

Louis took out her and Martin's business cards, exchanged them with Craven, agreed on a time, and said to everyone: "I will send a formal invitation letter next Monday."

A few people were chatting happily, and they chatted for a while before they dispersed.

 After a while, Louise said goodbye to Joanna on the pretext of something going on at home.

 Martin and her came to the parking place, but instead of getting into the Bentley, they called Bruce.

Waiting for the Volkswagen to arrive, Martin asked: "I'm going to rent the villa in Malibu where I last filmed "Entourage". I'll pay for it myself, but I don't have professional staff here. Can you help me again?"

　　Louis reminded: “Your debt to me is growing.”

 Martin simply said: "Pay with your flesh."

Louis opened the door of the Volkswagen, pushed Martin into the car, and said to the driver's seat: "Old Boo, throw this **** into the sea in Malibu, and I'll pay you later."

Bruce turned around and smiled: "Civilized people do things, don't worry."

 Martin got in the car, took out a small notebook, and handed it to Louise: "See if you can pay off the debt?"

 Louis opened it and took a look, smiling with satisfaction: "Old Bu, save his life for the time being."

 The Volkswagen door closed and roared away.

 Louis got in the car and called her assistant: "Nikki, rent a villa in Malibu as soon as possible."

Bruce drove out of Beverly Hills and drove northeast along the highway, and asked: "The investment will be very high this time. Are you sure you can make it back?"

“Invest now to have higher income in the future.” Martin took out his mobile phone and called Jenna Jameson.

According to Louise's description, Wes Craven likes group parties rather than pure horror masquerades.

Even if a Hollywood model agency is willing to take it on, the fees are still very high.

Martin called Jenna Jameson in the afternoon and confirmed that the party would go ahead. Of course, he had to find a professional: "Sorry, Jenna, for making you wait so late. Boo and I are on our way to the San Fernando Valley. There are a lot of cars, so it will take about an hour. ”
