MTL - American Fame and Fortune-Chapter 147 Hollywood's most handsome man

 Chapter 147 The most powerful man in Hollywood

Early on Saturday morning, the pictures published in gossip newspapers such as American Rumor were even more exaggerated, with Kardashian looking like a fan girl about to eat Martin.

  Caption: "Kim - the person Kardashian admires most."

There are other gossip papers: "Hollywood star Martin Davis, Kim Kardashian's secret crush!"

 By creating a popular character himself and then trying to gain popularity himself, Martin can be regarded as creating a new type.

Bruce, an unqualified person, even suggested that Kardashian and Martin should enter the same hotel one after another that night.

 Fortunately, Martin's quality is a little higher than that of Lao Bu, so he didn't agree.

 In this day and age, no matter how good a work is, it must be accompanied by publicity to bring enough fame.

 Even the so-called art schools like Daniel Day-Lewis and Meryl Streep will try their best to create news when their works are released.

The crew released news that during the filming of the film, Martin and the director subdued the giant kangaroo.

 For movie promotion and marketing, just blow it hard.

As soon as the report came out, the North Hollywood apartment was immediately targeted by paparazzi, and the door was directly guarded.

The cost of the wild paparazzi business is very low. Many practitioners do not have any industry certificates. They only need a camera and a broken motorcycle to enter the industry. Los Angeles is full of celebrities. If they take valuable photos, they can sell them to gossip newspapers and magazines in exchange for income.

Antonio often wanted to sit at the door and bask in the sun. Before the chair could be moved out, the camera shutter rang, and two small tape recorders were thrust in front of his face.

“Are you the landlord here? Who did Martin Davis spend the night with last night?”

Antonio subconsciously wanted to talk about a **** named Bruce, but thinking that Lao Bu was always staring at him with ill intentions, he shouted loudly: "You guys should leave quickly, don't get in the way here, this is private property!"

Female dog Jody sneaked into the apartment building.

Antonio patted his coat: "Whoever dares to break into my house, I will let her know what the gun of friendship is."

Hearing the gun, Jody quickly stopped.

The colleagues around me couldn’t find anything to ask, so they dispersed and waited patiently.

Jody came to Antonio and whispered: "Let's talk about a business deal?"

 Antonio asked: "What business?"

Jody took out a roll of dollars and said, "You let me in, and I'll take some photos of Martin's place."

 Antonio lowered his head and looked at a lot of rolls, but they were only in denominations of 10 US dollars.

This point is not in the eyes of millionaires at all: "Warn you, I will call the police."

Jody didn't give up and took out two more volumes: "These are all yours, as long as you help me install surveillance cameras at the door of Martin Davis."

 Antonio calculated the loss of rent and other risks after the news broke, and said directly: "$50,000, whatever you want."

Jody was stunned for a while. She had to have 50,000 US dollars to do such hard work?

 But she didn't give up. She raised her hand and unbuttoned two shirt buttons, revealing a large area of ​​skin: "I'll stay with you for one night."

Antonio originally looked down upon the money, but when he heard what she said, he immediately became alert: "What do you want to do? Conspiracy for my property?"

Jody discovered that this fat man’s thinking was completely different from hers.

 Antonio suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from above his head.

"Landlord, you're not going to talk to the paparazzi about how to sell me, are you?" Martin stood on the roof of the apartment building, looking at Fatty and Jodi, and reminded loudly: "Your house is full of actors. Once your reputation becomes bad, Who will rent your house? Where will you collect the $50,000 monthly rent? You will go bankrupt!”

Three tenants showed up with beers in their hands.

Antonio warned Jodi: "See? If you dare to go in, they will beat you out."

Jody left here, but stared at the tenants coming in and out.

Of course there will be tenants who will be interviewed and reveal relevant information about Martin, but Martin has spent most of the past few months on the set and part of the time at Louise's place, and has not had much interaction with other tenants.

On the roof of the apartment building, Bruce put away the binoculars and said to Martin: "I saw five paparazzi, and the boldest one is the woman."

Martin picked up the binoculars and took a general look: "Wild paparazzi and ordinary gossip newspapers cannot afford the price that makes Antonio's heart beat. When I originally chose this apartment, Antonio has certain assets and a good reputation, which is one of the reasons."

“It’s not that the paparazzi and gossip media can’t pay, it’s that you’re not worth that much.” Bruce revealed the cruel truth.

 Martin was helpless: "Why did I find a stinky **** like you as my manager?"

Bruce said to himself: "Antonio is not tempted by these small sums of money, but other tenants may not be tempted."

 Martin was already prepared: “Of course we have to sell the most valuable thing ourselves!”

This was not surprising to Bruce, because Martin had done it not once or twice.

Martin waved to the round table on the rooftop, and Emily and Jessica, who were drinking beer under the umbrella, immediately ran over.

“Continue to get good reviews on the website?” Emily was very positive: “We’ll go back right away.”

 Martin waved his hand: "You have helped me a lot in the past two days."

Jessica said first: "You bought us a beer." Martin was generous and generous: "I'll give you a little reward."

Emily said before Jessica: "No, really, I can help you with something..."

"Listen to me." Martin raised his hand to interrupt her: "I haven't actually lived in the apartment for a long time. What can attract the attention of paparazzi and gossip magazines?"

Emily was still thinking, but Jessica had already reacted: "I often bring one or two women back, which makes the whole building so noisy that I can't sleep at night."

 Martin waved his hand: "Go downstairs and sell this news to the paparazzi. No matter how much you sell, it will be yours."

 He asked in passing: "Do you know what to say?"

 Jessica nodded: "I know, you are very powerful, and several women are no match for you..."

 “Very good.” Martin urged: “Go quickly, don’t let others take away the business.”

Jessica pulled Emily downstairs, as if preparing to go shopping, and soon attracted the Jodi.

"Martin, he is our neighbor." Jessica is younger than Emily, but has a more active mind: "Occasionally he will chat with us."

Jody asked: "Can you tell me more specifically? What did he talk about, and what outrageous things did he do?"

 Jessica stared at the paparazzi: "It's not impossible to say..."

 Jody understood, took out two 10 dollar bills and handed them over: "These are yours."

Emily subconsciously wanted to answer, but Jessica quietly pulled her back: "It's very exciting news. It has to do with women. We are his neighbors, so we know about it."

Jody took out two more sheets. Seeing that the girl, who was so fair and reflective, was still not satisfied, he simply gave all the remaining pictures in the roll: "The news about Martin Davis is worth this."

In her eyes, the news about Martin Davis is only worth US$100 at most. This is because of the overwhelming response to the opening of "Horror House of Wax Museum" and the added popularity of Kim Kardashian last night.

Jessica collected the money: "Martin often brings a few women back. I don't know the specifics, but no matter how many he brings, Martin can make them sing all night. The sound insulation of the apartment is not very good, and noisy people cannot sleep. The landlord I almost shot down Martin’s door several times.”

Jodi's interest immediately aroused: "Are any of those women famous? For example, the Kardashians? Eliza Cuthbert?"

 Jessica shook her head: "Not sure, I don't know him."

 Without any valuable news, Jody gave up on Jessica and Emily.

Turning back to look at the backs of the two of them, she suddenly thought of an idea and picked up the camera to take a photo of their North Hollywood apartment as their back view.

Compared to many of his colleagues in the future, Jodi has a little more professionalism, and is at least prepared to look at pictures and write articles.

She quickly sketched out the news frame in her mind: the young actor who won the Saturn Award for Best Newcomer began to indulge himself, bringing women back for carnivals every night, and sometimes even roped in two beautiful neighbors to join in. Because he was too capable, the noise caused a lot of noise around him. The tenant was dissatisfied and the landlord shot him...

Jody mainly works in the area of ​​online entertainment news and knows the importance of headlines.

After the frame was outlined, the title automatically appeared: Shocking, the most handsome man in Hollywood turned out to be him!

 Jessica and Emily drove around for a while and soon returned to the apartment building.

Emily said: "Half of the money is for each of us?"

Jessica said as she went upstairs: "We'll talk about it later."

She was young but had a good idea. She went up to the roof of the apartment building and placed 10 US dollars on the table in front of Martin.

Of course Martin would not want it: "I said, this is your reward, take it."

 Jessica picked it up, pointed out five cards and gave them to Emily, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Martin. Whatever you want to eat for lunch, I'll treat you."

 Martin did not refuse, and pointed down: "There are too many paparazzi, so Lao Bu and I won't go out. It's still early. You can just wait until 11 o'clock to buy some fried chicken burgers or something like that."

 A movie that is a hit can always bring out a series of news and create new stars.

On the first day of its opening in North America, the Wax Museum took in a box office of US$7.23 million, beating out the two films of the same period, American Soldier and Dancing, to win the day's box office championship.

The following two days, Saturday and Sunday, still topped the North American box office chart.

Three days after the opening weekend, counting the advance box office, the Wax Museum took in US$20.13 million in the first weekend, which was higher than the US$15 million box office expectations of Warner Bros. and the North American Theater Alliance.

As a traditional North American murder horror film, it has a mediocre reputation. The IMDB audience score is only 6.3. CinemaScore, which best reflects the market response, gave the film a B on-site audience score, which is not bad.

 CinemaScore officially predicts that the North American box office of this film will be around US$50 million.

  Similar American horror films, the overseas box office is often not much different from the North American box office, which means that the global box office of the Wax Museum is expected to hit US$100 million.

 The film's public production cost was an exaggerated US$40 million, with most of the funds coming from various platters.

Martin would not be stupid enough to inquire about the actual investment, but the director Zomi mentioned it vaguely after drinking. He estimated that the total production, promotion and distribution of the Wax Museum would not cost more than 40 million US dollars.

  There is Louise who plays platter next to him, and Martin is not surprised. The straw hat worth 7,000 yuan must be leftover from playing here.

The incident that caused a lot of speculation about Leo in his previous life would not be an exception in Hollywood.
