MTL - American Fame and Fortune-Chapter 823 You have an extra son

Chapter 823 You have an extra son

 Beverly, near the West Hollywood area.

Ryan Reynolds drove alone into a single-family villa and parked the car near the door under the direction of the security personnel.

Someone came over: "Mr. Reynolds, please come this way with me."

Ryan nodded and followed him towards the villa.

The two of them passed by the swimming pool. It was warm enough in Los Angeles at the end of May. Seven or eight women in swimsuits were either playing in the water or lying on beach chairs and soaking up the sun.

Every skin tone, every hair color, we have it all.

 But they all have one thing in common, they are **** and beautiful.

For several of them, Ryan feels that his ex-wife Scarlett Johansson would be far inferior if not for the blessing of fame.

 The man who entered the villa took him directly to the balcony.

Ryan said tentatively: "They are all too old, I want someone younger."

 Michelle Bryan pulled up a chair and sat across from him: "Welcome to Happy Valley, Ryan, I remember you. You placed several orders with Global Travel Company."

If there were other options, Ryan wouldn't come here.

Ryan was anxious: "How long do I have to wait?"

“Because we may have to go to Eastern Europe or even Ukraine to find suitable goods,” Michel said.

 After paying the deposit, Ruian kept his contact information and left Happy Valley.

Not only is the product out of stock, she wants money first: “In addition, if you want to make a reservation, please pay a deposit of US$200,000.”

Seeing that Ruian was unmoved, she added: "I have a rich supply of goods here. This is just a small part. Fashion models, Hollywood actors, Sacred Valley artists, cover girls, radio and television hosts, there are only things you can't think of. I can't find them." Not enough.”

Michelle added: "If you think our price is not suitable, you can choose another one."

Ryan took out a business card and handed it to Michelle: "Mr. Charles has enjoyed this kind of business and specially introduced me here."

Michelle took the business card, turned it over and looked at the back, and nodded: “Say your specific requirements.”

Ryan was somewhat hesitant.

Ryan said with a smile: "This time I come to see you and I have prepared another big order."

Michelle said: "The goods you are looking for are too demanding. It is difficult for us to get the goods in a short time, so we cannot give you an exact reply."

These words were not what Michelle had expected. After hearing this, she thought about it for a while and said, "Ryan, I can find the resources, but I don't have them here. Your requirements are relatively high and it takes time to coordinate."

Ryan waited for a while, and a woman with blond hair and delicate makeup entered the balcony.

 Ryan was already trying his best to make a complete comeback and impress Fox, so he lowered his voice and spoke.

Ryan stared: "$200,000?"

 Michelle stared at Ryan with quite vigilance, because the FBI often does fishing. The last time she was caught by the FBI, it was the FBI that took advantage of her client and conducted a fishing operation.

 Michelle pointed to the swimming pool outside the balcony: "Do you have any that you like? Choose whatever you want, they are all top-notch and of high quality."

Michelle Bryan has an excellent reputation in the industry. He only considered it briefly before agreeing to the other party's offer.

 Go back and prepare to sell off fixed assets to get enough funds to take a chance.

 Ryan has a feeling that the role of Deadpool is particularly suitable for him. This did not come out of thin air. He had personal experience when he starred in "The Wolverine".

On the balcony, Michelle picked up her mobile phone and dialed a number. When the call was connected, she asked, "Can I see the boss?"

"The boss is on the island now and has no time to see you." The person over there said, "If you have anything to do, you can tell me. If I can't handle it, I will pass it on to the boss."

Michelle said: "I have a customer who wants two completely fresh products. Where can they provide them?"

The man replied: "Not yet. We have recently received several heavyweight customers, and all the inventory has been exhausted. There is something wrong with the channels in Eastern Europe, and there may be a shortage in the short term."

 “Is there something wrong with the channels in Eastern Europe?” Michelle didn’t expect the other party to answer.

The other side simply said: "The Ukrainians are conducting auditions for the Holy Virgin Group. Many people have illusions and want to become famous in one fell swoop and thus change their lives. The number of people who volunteered has dropped sharply during this period."

“As expected, I’m all daydreaming.” Michelle asked, “When can I recover?”

The man said: "It's hard to say. If you are in urgent need, you can send someone there yourself. Haven't your people been there several times? They are no strangers there."

Michelle said: "Okay, I'll figure it out myself."

The other party hung up the phone, and she dialed another number: "Lynch, come up here."

 Not long after, Lynch entered the balcony.

 Michelle asked: "I remember you mentioned last time that Nikiya, one of the three girls we set up for Martin Davis, might have escaped back to Ukraine?"

Lynch said: "I asked many Ukrainian girls who smuggled here, and several of them said that Nikiya fled back to her hometown."

He thought for a while and then added: "I think this possibility is extremely high. The money that Nikiya took is nothing in the United States but it is not a small amount when it comes back to Ukraine."

Michelle said: “Whenever you have time, go to Ukraine.”

Lin Qi was surprised: "Just to capture Nikiya?"

“A customer has special needs.” Michelle briefly said, “Take someone there.”

Lynch said: "I suggest hanging him for a while, so as not to let him off the hook, but also to get more money. After I finish handling the matters at hand, I will make a special trip to Ukraine." Michelle was not in a hurry: "Okay."

 In June, the North American box office of "The City" exceeded 180 million US dollars, and after the overseas box office exceeded 70 million US dollars, the crew returned to Los Angeles after completing a promotional tour including North America, Europe and Latin America.

 Martin took a few days off, received a call from Nolan, and came to Warner Studios.

 He entered the studio just before work time in the middle of the morning. There were very few people in the front room at this time.

 As Martin walked towards the elevator, Kevin Tsujihara came face to face.

 They both saw each other and stopped at the same time.

Martin took the initiative to say hello: "Hi, Kevin, long time no see."

 Kevin Tsujihara smiled slightly, responded, and asked, "Why do you have time to come to Warner Bros. today?"

 Martin has nothing to hide: “I’m here to see director Nolan.”

 Kevin Tsujihara thought about the huge investment in "Interstellar" and said: "You and director Nolan are a golden partner. I hope this time it can bring the same success as "The Dark Knight."

 Martin also laughed: "I have great confidence in myself and Director Nolan."

 The two of them didn’t have a close friendship, so they chatted briefly and politely and then left.

Kevin Tsujihara didn't like Martin. Since he took office, Martin ended his cooperation with Warner Bros. and signed with Disney. Later, after a series of incidents, Jon Berg was fired and became the president of Warner Pictures. Replaced by someone on another line.

Since this period of time, he has also been able to feel that Martin doesn't like himself very much either.

Warner Bros.'s film business is in serious decline. For the sake of performance, Kevin Tsujihara can tolerate working with people he doesn't like, such as Martin and Nolan.

 As long as Warner's film business is back on track, he will not let this situation continue.

In this regard, Kevin Tsujihara specifically emphasized two points. One is the relaunched DC Justice League movie universe, and the other is the promotion of the serial adaptation of JK Rowling’s new work "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"!

Martin took the elevator upstairs and found Nolan in the office on the top floor.

 The project planning stage is coming to an end and the film will soon enter the shooting stage.

Nolan just came back from Atlanta.

 Martin asked directly: "When will I join the set for filming?"

 Nolan looked at the schedule: "Your scene will be shot for 40 to 50 days in total, but it is divided into three parts."

 Martin asked again: "Shooting in different places?"

Nolan handed him the schedule and said at the same time: "The interior scenes were mainly shot at the Gray Film and Television Center in Atlanta. There were two parts of the exterior scenes. The scenes on the alien planet were shot in Iceland, and the scenes on the corn farm were shot on the farm outside Atlanta. "

 Martin looked at the schedule carefully: "There is no problem on my side."

Nolan added: "When you were filming "The Martian," you accumulated a lot of experience shooting space scenes, right? Talk to other actors on the set."

"These are all minor problems." Martin said half-jokingly: "Individual scenes that are not critical can be left to me to shoot."

Nolan knew that Martin was learning crew scheduling and said: "I will specially select a few scenes."

 Speaking of this, he suddenly thought that this could be used as a promotional point for the movie.

 Marketing guru Nolan is online!

The assistant director who specializes in recording real behind-the-scenes was not around, so Nolan had to do it himself. While Martin was still looking at the schedule, he quickly picked up the schedule and notepad and quickly wrote a few sentences on them.

“During the filming, Martin served as the temporary director and directed the crew to shoot several scenes. His improvisational performance was unanimously recognized by the crew. Director Nolan and producer Emma Thomas believed that Martin was very talented in directing.”

 After writing, Nolan put away the note pad. After Martin left, he would have someone input it into the database and save it.

 Martin also got some drawings of the director's scenes and shooting concepts from Nolan, and made a copy to take away.

Nolan asked: "Are you serious, not just for fun?"

“Originally, it was just for fun.” Martin was also quite helpless: “But that **** Leonardo insists on competing with me. I want him to admit defeat.”

Nolan just warned: "Don't spread the word outside."

Martin said: "I'm the only one watching."

 Coming out of Nolan's office, when Martin went downstairs, he met Emma Thomas.

The latter stopped Martin and asked: "Where is Mene? I haven't seen him for a long time. Does he no longer live in Los Angeles?"

Martin could only say: "I haven't seen Mene for a while."

Emma Thomas didn’t say anything more, waved her hand and left.

 Martin went downstairs, met Bruce, and walked out towards the entrance of the studio.

Bruce suddenly took out his mobile phone and said extremely seriously: "Martin, you have an extra son?"

 “What?” Martin didn’t understand the situation.

Bruce said: “Look at Twitter.”
