Three days later, at Davis Film and Television Studios in Burbank, Martin signed project agreements with Chad Staelski and Marcus Rutger on behalf of the company.

The latter's experience will be written into a memoir and published first, and then we will talk about the film adaptation.

The former has had many exchanges with Martin in the past few days and has completely clarified his ideas. While continuing to hone his directorial skills, he will focus all his energy on creating a new action series in the next two years.

At the very beginning of the project, the style concept was completely clear - a simple and crude action movie!

Martin found Thomas and handed him the information on Afghanistan provided by Marcus, asking him to help Marcus and Bruce contact relevant service providers to fish out the few people who rescued Marcus from Afghanistan.

Memoirs can serve as a hit point when promoting and marketing your memoirs.

The next step is to find a suitable writer to help Marcus complete his memoirs.

Hollywood is full of frustrated writers and screenwriters. The situation is actually similar to that of actors. There are many capable and talented people, but they have no chance.

In this industry, opportunities are much more important than ability and talent.

Ghostwriting of memoirs is also a common practice in the industry.

The early stage of the project takes time, and Martin is patient enough. As for funding, as long as the production cost does not exceed US$50 million, it will not be difficult for him to attract investment.

In the office, Thomas read the information carefully and said to Martin: "There are many capable screenwriters who are waiting for opportunities after signing the contract with the company. I will contact a suitable one."

This is much easier than finding star actors. He turned to another thing: "The three people you asked me to pay attention to, Bale, Blanchett and Heath Ledger, also have the latest news."

What Martin is most afraid of is not causing trouble, but having nothing to do: "Tell me what they are doing recently."

Thomas first talked about the one who had a direct conflict: "Heath Ledger attended a recovery support meeting under the pressure of his fiancée Michelle. He will not take a new job for the time being and is expected to be depressed for a while."

He said the other two: "Bale is preparing for "The Prestige". If nothing else happens, his next project will be the sequel to the new Batman, and he will continue to play Bruce Wayne."

Martin warned: "You should keep an eye on this project."

Thomas nodded and added: "Blanchett returned to Australia after the Oscars. I inquired carefully about her interest in the heroine of David Fincher's new project."

Martin remembered the project he saw at the agency last year: "Zodiac Killer?"

"This film has been filmed." Thomas introduced: "David Fincher intends to make Fitzgerald's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" into a movie."

Martin has watched all of David Fincher's films and immediately understood that this was the one translated into Chinese as "The Return of Youth".

Remember that the male and female protagonists are Pitt and Blanchett respectively.

Thomas asked: "Trying to confuse her?"

Martin asked: "Do you have a way?"

Thomas said: "The simplest thing is to spread relevant information to various companies. David Fincher's projects are very popular, and there are many actresses who want to be part of it. Let them compete. Even if we lose, we will not lose anything, but we can watch the excitement.

."

Martin said casually: "Just do it."

When Thomas left, Bruce asked: "How old is Blanchett?"

Martin didn't pay attention and said: "You shouldn't be forty years old, right?"

Bruce didn't speak, but muttered in his heart: "It's not easy to deal with being a little younger."

According to Mene's feedback, the older you are, the better the feedback is.

On the other side, Thomas returned to the company, called his assistant Natasha, and said a few words.

During lunch, a bunch of female assistants gathered together. During the chat, Natasha mentioned that David Fincher was preparing a new project and wanted to adapt "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".

By the afternoon, the relevant news had spread throughout wma, and soon to other companies.

Although like Quentin and Scorsese, David Fincher's movies are not particularly good at the box office, they are very good at praising actors and raising the quality of stars.

There are many interested people.

Actresses compete for roles much more excitingly than male actors.

That night, the Face Gang had a regular gathering at the Night Club.

This time, in addition to the bastard trio, Craven also arrived.

After the routine face washing, the four people felt refreshed, active in thinking and energetic.

Craven let out a sigh of relief: "I haven't been out for a long time. I really miss my babies."

Martin glanced at Leonardo and said: "Leo is planning to hold a carnival party, will you join?"

In the past two years, Craven's health has obviously become worse than when he was filming The Mountain Has Eyes. He shook his head: "My health is not as good as the previous two years. The doctor told me to take care of myself, so I won't go."

Nicholson, the old bastard, said: "What are you afraid of? When I am about to die, I will have a carnival party."

Leonardo sarcastically said: "Why didn't you say this when you were in the hospital?"

Martin exclaimed: "Because he is afraid of death!"

Nicholson gave Martin and Leonardo each a middle finger and said: "Asshole, there are rumors in the circle that your "Brokeback Mountain" lost the best picture?"

"I think it's a pity that it doesn't have such a big influence." Martin briefly talked about his relationship with Heath Ledger: "He didn't get the Best Actor nomination, which may have something to do with me. Best Picture... Brokeback

Isn’t it normal for Shan to lose to an authentic Los Angeles movie?"

He asked Nicholson again: "Where did the rumors come from?"

Craven has met enough people: "It was first spread from the Australian circle."

Two names popped into Martin's head, Heath Ledger and Blanchett.

He deliberately asked Leonardo: "Leo, how about introducing you to an actress with blond hair and long legs?"

Leonardo dismissed it: "You know it, but I don't know it?"

Martin ignored this and said: "How about Blanchett? Have you seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy? Queen Galadriel is so beautiful that she shines."

Leonardo shook his head directly: "I'm too old, seriously exceeding my 25-year-old red line." He also mocked Martin: "I'm not like you, the age line is as wide as you..."

Martin raised his finger and shook it: "You don't understand."

Leonardo said: "I am a dedicated person, so of course I don't understand."

Martin sighed: "I still want you to help me teach that Australian woman a lesson!"

Leonardo knew that this bad person was full of bad ideas, so he said: "If you want to teach her a lesson, you should do it yourself."

Martin was helpless: "The problem is that when I see that face with lines as hard as stone, I don't even have the interest to talk, let alone anything else."

Nicholson took the initiative and said: "Blanchett, I remember her. Her face is very distinctive and recognizable. Well, let me try and avenge you, this bastard."

Martin asked: "Do you have a plan?"

"This kind of thing requires a stupid plan." Nicholson coaxed: "Don't doubt Old Jack's strength. What kind of person is Old Jack and what kind of things he has never seen."

Leonardo uncovered a bloody scar: "Yes, yes, I have seen a lot! I remember Naomi Campbell and you on the yacht..."

Nicholson suddenly covered his heart: "No, I can't do it! If you keep talking, do you believe I will have a heart attack?"

Martin responded: "We all believe you will be so shameless, so don't get angry."

Craven raised his hand: "Stop, stop! You three bastards are making me have a heart attack."

The four of them were laughing and joking, opening wine and drinking together.

At the end of the party, the driver picked up Wes Craven. His health was much worse than before and he rarely hung out outside.

The three bastards got into the same car and went to play the second half.

Nicholson asked: "I heard that you two assholes are going to be nominated for Oscars?"

"You have two Best Actors and one Best Supporting Actor." Martin asked seriously: "Do you have any tips for winning the award?"

Nicholson said nonsense in a serious tone: "Lobby the female judges, and they will naturally vote for you when they are happy! Then you can lobby the girlfriends and wives of the male judges, and they will talk about it when they are happy, and the male judges will also vote for you. As for

Use your gun or your feet, it depends on your luck."

Martin's face was full of sorrow: "How long is the awards season? There are nearly 6,000 Oscar judges. This task is too difficult."

Leonardo laughed: "With your little strength, you won't die suddenly midway."

Martin retorted: "It's better than sprinting 100 meters in 11 seconds."

Leonardo rushed forward, grabbed Martin's neck, and shook him hard: "You bastard, I'm going to throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"

Nicholson couldn't stand these two bastards, so he patted the chair and said loudly: "I have some friendship with the old guys on the Nomination Committee. If you two want to please me, I will put in a good word for you."

Martin immediately turned into a caring little brother: "You are our boss, you must speak for the younger brother. Jack, I gave Blanchett to you."

Nicholson's nose was so angry that he said, "Is there anyone more shameless than you in the world?"

"Yes!" Martin pointed at Leonardo and Nicholson: "These two!"

Leonardo was angry: "We must get him drunk tonight!"

At close to 11 o'clock, the three of them came out of Avalon. Martin was holding Leonardo with his left hand and Nicholson with his right hand. Neither of these two bastards could fight.

After putting them in the car, Martin told the driver: "They are drunk, don't listen to their nonsense, take them directly home."

Leonardo shouted: "I'm not drunk. Come here with ten more bottles of whiskey. I want to have a showdown with Martin..."

Martin held his face and stuffed him into the car.

With such skill, the drunken Nicholson suddenly shouted to the paparazzi following him: "I love Cate Blanchett! I love Blanchett!"

Regardless of whether he was really drunk or pretending to be drunk, Martin still got into the car.

He waited for the Lincoln to drive away before getting into his car.

As long as Blake is in Los Angeles, Martin will be back before 12 o'clock at the latest and will not stay up all night.

At the beginning of a new week, Martin got on a helicopter sent by Coca-Cola Company and headed to the town of Park in southern California, near the Mexican border.

The advertising crew has been preparing there for nearly half a month, waiting for him, the director and the protagonist, to go over and start filming.
