American Fame and Fortune Chapter 540

Chapter 540 Great Sacrifice

Over the weekend, with the help of CocCola's channels and resources, Martin held the first informal gathering of the CocCola Cult at the Los Angeles Country Club. Many well-known figures who had registered on the official website received his personal invitations.

In addition to Leonardo and Nicholson, there are also many heavyweights in the industry participating, such as Jolie and Aniston, the two opinion leaders of Mi Rabbit, Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, long-term partners Martin and Louise Collaborating with Daniel and more.

There are also many people from outside the industry, many of whom come from other places, and all related expenses are paid for by the proceeds from Martin's portrait in the commemorative Coke.

For example, Neves from the FBI, McClain from the LAPD, etc.

These people may have joined such an obviously playful organization out of curiosity, or because of Martin's relationship.

But when I came to the scene and found that there were fashion company and film company bosses, well-known critics, Hollywood stars, directors and producers, powerful figures in the official violent organizations of the United States, liberal opinion leaders, and even state legislators, I immediately realized that This is an excellent networking platform.

Some people even took the initiative to find Martin and asked him, the leader of the CocCola Cult, to hold more such gatherings across the United States in the future.

During the visit, Martin also received a call from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Lamb expressed concern about the gathering and invited Martin to Washington to host the next CocCola gathering.

At the party, Martin specifically talked to two old friends, Neves and McLean.

Together they concocted the famous Russian espionage case and made huge profits from it. McClane is preparing to compete for the next chief of the Los Angeles Police Department.

The Coke Cult, a loose organization, has begun to become a platform.

After the party, Martin stayed with Daniel from Warner Bros. to talk alone about the Inception crew and the rights to The Hobbit.

The former's blame was thrown at Harvey.

The copyright of the latter is related to huge profits, and there is no need for Martin to say more.

"If he was interested, he should take the initiative to give up the copyright." Daniel said directly: "Instead of grabbing Warner's copyright."

Martin responded: "Unfortunately, Harvey has never been a sensible person."

Daniel smiled: "Not only is he ignorant, he also wants to control everything."

Martin knew that it was not because he was ignorant, but because the interests involved were too great.

In another position, faced with the high royalties from The Hobbit, how could he give up so readily?

Daniel then said to Martin: "Harvey offended all the Warner executives to death. I, the distribution producer of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, was scolded badly by him back then, as were Barry Meyer and Alan Horn. Needless to say, if murder was not illegal, Harvey would have been killed by them a hundred times.”

Martin was straightforward: "Over the years, Harvey has gone smoothly, but he is too domineering, and there will always be a day when he falls."

Daniel understood the meaning of Martin's words: "He'd better fall down quickly and never get up again! Believe me, Martin, Warner's fast-moving car will definitely run over him."

Before he left, he said to Martin: "I forgot to tell you, Warner plans to adapt The Hobbit into a trilogy, and I will still be the distribution producer."

Martin knew this a long time ago, so he went to Daniel and said, "Congratulations."

Daniel said: "Copyright cannot solve it, and it is possible that all preparations will be in vain."

“There's always a way around it,” Martin said.

New York, outside a hotel.

Lukaku sat in a car, pressed the monitor button, and recorded at the same time.

Courtois asked: “Is there any big news?”

Lukaku shook his head slowly: "Sienna Miller invited a group of female models to a party. What's the big news... They mentioned Martin Davis, and it seemed that Angela Lindworth said she wanted to join fashion. The supermodel group has a test that must be completed.”

The car door opened from the outside, Azar got into the car carrying a hamburger, and asked: "What are the conditions?"

Lukaku said: "The only condition for joining the fashion supermodel group is to sleep with Martin Davis. This is what Carolina said, and everyone else agreed. This group of **** made a handicap, betting on Georgina - Can Chapman achieve that this year?

Courtois was very disappointed: "Why isn't their condition to sleep with me? I can easily sleep with them!"

Hazard gave him a hamburger and said, "Isn't Georgina Chapman the wife of Harvey Weinstein that we investigated some time ago?"

"Yes, that's her." Lukaku added: "She is also a fashion brand designer. Listening to Sienna Miller and Angela Lindworth, it seems that Martin introduced her into the American fashion circle. …”

Courtois said: "I remember that Harvey and Martin were at odds, and Harvey's wife had a very good relationship with Martin. The entertainment and fashion circles were really in chaos."

Hazard ate his hamburger: "Think about the information we collected. Compared to what Harvey did, it's nothing."

There was a sudden knock on the car door from outside. Courtois looked up and saw that it was a strange man. He lowered the window and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Ivan gave him a business card: "I am a reporter from TMZ and I want to buy something from you."

The other party wanted to close the window, and Ivan put the check in his other hand halfway through the window.

With his money ability activated, the three men immediately invited him into the car. Ivan said directly: "I got the news from your newspaper that they have investigated Harvey Weinstein and have explosive news about him."

For the sake of money, Azar said: "You can find out such secret information. TMZ is so powerful! We did find a lot of things. Originally, the editor-in-chief wanted to publish it, but there was someone at the headquarters. The Jews suppressed it and all the fierce material was deleted.”

Ivan said: "You didn't keep a backup?"

Azar shrugged and spread his hands again.

Ivan took out the check again and put it on his lap.

Seeing the number on the check, Courtois wanted to speak out, but Hazard said first: "Really not."

Ivan nodded and took out the check again: "You keep it in your hands, don't you just want to sell it for a good price?"

The three people glanced at each other and reached a tacit understanding through their eyes. Azar put down the burger in his hand and said: "The price will be doubled. Not only will there be videos and recordings of various exciting things, but we will also provide you with several people who are willing to come forward." The victim's phone number and contact information.”

Ivan stretched out his hand: "Okay."

Hazard shook hands with him: "Deal!"

These three reporters are very professional. Even though Hazard was negotiating with others, Lukaku remained glued to his seat and continued to eavesdrop and record Sienna Miller's party.

He heard Georgina Chapman say: "I'm going back to Los Angeles and throwing a fashion party and inviting Martin to it."

Lukaku couldn't help but sigh to himself, Martin is in danger!

Just after Ivan bought their information and returned to Los Angeles, Bruce, after receiving the notice, called Jody.

The two still met in Bruce's car as before.

Jody wore exquisite makeup and was extremely beautiful. If you ignore the flatness at the front and back, she can be called a beauty.

"You haven't come to see me for a long time, Lao Bu." She felt an inexplicable resentment: "You have become rich, have you forgotten me as an old friend?"

Bruce said: "How could it be? I have always remembered you. This is not big news. I came to find you immediately."

Jody took over a lot of news and business from Bruce and said, "You are going to start hyping it up again."

“No hype this time.” Bruce handed her a USB flash drive: “Old friend, I provide you with a good opportunity to win the Pulitzer Prize.”

Jody said: "It could be a big hole."

Bruce pointed at the USB flash drive: "You should take a look at it first before talking."

Jody opened the laptop she brought with her and played the video on the USB flash drive. Inside was a confession from an unknown actress, describing Harvey Weinstein's assault on her.

She looked serious: "That's it? Pulitzer Prize? Old Boo, are you kidding me!"

Bruce reminded: "Finish it."

Jody opened the next video. It was less than two minutes long, but it was a video of Harvey Weinstein **** a girl. The process made her, a woman, quite uncomfortable to watch.

Then there was another recording, and the voice sounded a lot like Harvey.

After hearing this, Jodi asked: "That's all?"

Bruce stretched out a little finger: "These are only a few."

Jody dared to fight for news. Her first reaction was to rush forward and expose it, but her reason told her that the matter was not that simple. She said, "That's Harvey Weinstein! I may lose my future!"

Bruce said: "If your future is over, I will give you a large sum of money so that you can live a prosperous life without having to work hard in the future."

This dispelled some of Jodi's doubts. Many problems are ultimately about money.

"Think about it, the Pulitzer Prize is the highest honor for a journalist. With your current career development, it will be difficult for you to win this award in your lifetime!" Bruce knew Jodi, this is a woman who dares to take huge risks: "Indeed , Harvey Weinstein is very powerful, but because of this, once his true identity is revealed, the rewards will be extremely rich, and the risks are directly proportional to the rewards.”

He mentioned one person in particular: "I saw with my own eyes how Helen from Warner TV was so successful. Even if bullets were flying, she would always follow me and Martin."

Jodi still has doubts: "TMZ may suppress it and not publish it."

Bruce has already figured it out, and Jodi doesn't want to refuse at all: "Your boss Harvey Levin doesn't want to retaliate, I will sell it to others, and one more thing, I got these from the paparazzi of the News of the World, from the Sun The headquarters is in the UK. If no one reports it for a long time, they will also expose it. Do you think they care about Weinstein?”

Jodi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, give me everything. I am now the deputy editor, and I have the power to independently post news and pin it to the top of TMZ's home page, but I won't post it immediately. This thing is so crazy, I want to watch the video and meet the person involved in person to ensure a fatal blow!"

Bruce said: "No problem."

“I have one more condition.” Jodi stared at Bruce: “Old Bruce, you must stay with me for one night!”

For the future, both Martin and Lao Bu made huge physical sacrifices.
