MTL - American Fame and Fortune-Chapter 759 Middlemen make the difference

Chapter 759: Middlemen make the difference

 After finishing the bank scene, the crew moved to the streets of Boston and filmed some outdoor scenes one after another.

 In a bustling metropolis, shooting on-location scenes is more troublesome. It requires coordination with local government departments, the flow of traffic and people, and the time period.

In Charleston, an outdoor cafe was booked by the crew for a whole day to shoot two scenes.

 Martin, Alexandra Daddario and Jeremy Renner appeared one after another, chatting and testing around the coffee table.

Villeneuve called stop from time to time and came over personally to guide the three of them.

"You are not in the right state, you have problems with your emotions and expressions!" Villeneuve stared at Alexandra and emphasized: "Lessie, the relationship between your character and the hero is not between the robber and the hostage. That kind of inexplicable feeling, you didn’t know Martin was a robber! You thought this was a perfect love!”

He directly pointed out the mistake Alexandra made: "What you showed was an emotion like Stockholm syndrome!"

Hearing this, Alexandra subconsciously retorted: "I didn't! Absolutely not!"

 Villeneuve stared at her.

Alexandra blinked her ice-blue eyes, looked at Martin, and asked, "Do I have it?"

One of the blond female reporters was the first to ask: "Hi Martin, I am Peffer, a reporter from the Boston Globe. Why did you choose such a movie set in Boston?"

“A lot of the people I grew up with in my neighborhood joined gangs,” Martin shrugs.

 Once the filming of the film has started, publicity and promotion will naturally have to follow.

Martin looked at Alexandra briefly and said: "Don't open your eyes too wide, don't blink too frequently, and try to maintain a calm state."

Villeneuve responded: “Let’s try again.”

 The filming started again, Martin and Jeremy Renner kept performing online, and Alexandra gradually found the feeling after adjusting.

 He said: "Martin, you succeeded."

 There are also journalists who come from lower classes and know how difficult it is to escape from such an environment in the United States.

 Alexandra adjusted her mentality and emotions slightly and said, "I can do it."

His tone was slightly serious: "Many of them passed away just after they reached adulthood..."

A large number of fans and reporters gradually gathered outside the temporary studio.

Producer Graham King briefly communicated with Villeneuve and Martin, and waited until the end of filming to give a brief interview to media reporters.

 After lunch, Martin was in the cafe and accepted a joint interview with reporters from more than a dozen media.

There are countless people around you who want to drag you into the abyss.

 Another reporter immediately picked up: “Can you tell me where the wrong path is?”

 “I’m sorry,” the reporter said.

Martin shook his head, as if to get rid of some emotion, and said: "I was faced with choices and struggles at that time, just like the male protagonist of this novel, they were all the painful struggles of a man."

Villeneuve pointed out the problem: "The way you look now, combined with your appearance, is like a patient with Stockholm syndrome."

 Many reporters have read the original work and nodded when they heard Martin's words.

The Boston Globe is the largest newspaper in Massachusetts. The original novel of the film has been published for a long time. Martin smiled and said, "I filmed "The Departed" in Boston. I really like this city with such profound heritage. After seeing the original novel, Later, the origin of the hero also resonated with me, because I had a similar experience, growing up in the slums of Atlanta, and I just missed going astray.”

Martin continued: "We are all trapped in a place at a specific time period, desperately trying to escape, and trying every means to change our lives. This subject is so attractive to me, and in my opinion, many "Everyone can relate to that, especially coming out of a criminal environment."

 Martin smiled: "I hope more people in the United States can succeed."

The brief joint interview ended, and a wide range of related reports began on the Internet media that afternoon.

 “The Robbers, Martin Davis’ painful struggle!”

“Martin Davis’ new film is once again set in Boston.”

“Women use stockings to conquer men, Martin Davis uses stockings to conquer banks!”

ˆMedia news further increased the film’s popularity and made more people aware that a new Martin film was being filmed.

  The crew’s publicity naturally goes beyond this.

During a break from filming in the afternoon, Graham chatted with Martin for a while.

"We are helping Chuck Hogan run an award." He told Martin: "The Hammett Award issued by the International Crime Writers Association has a certain influence in the fiction circle."

  Martin fully agrees: "The original work is more well-known, and the film adaptation will benefit accordingly. I will contact Disney Pictures on this matter and ask Disney to assist the crew."

Graham said: "This way we can be more certain."

 Martin asked for the cell phone from Bruce and immediately called Jessica to ask her to communicate with Disney Pictures about related matters.

 After these negotiations were completed, Martin returned to the temporary set outside and continued to participate in filming.

 After a morning of adjustments, Daddario's condition improved significantly, and the filming went smoothly in the afternoon. All scenes were filmed before four o'clock, and the crew was able to finish work early.

 Martin finished taking off his makeup, got off the trailer, and was about to get in the car when a girl suddenly appeared next to him.

She has the same long brown-black hair as Daddario, but her light blue eyes are much duller, and her **** are not at the same level. “Hi, Martin, remember me?”

"You are..." Martin certainly remembered, but deliberately pondered for a moment: "I remembered, you are Catherine. I met you several times when I was filming "John Wick" in New York a few years ago."

Catherine's light blue eyes narrowed with a smile: "It's me, it's me! We even took a photo together. At that time, many classmates were envious that I could take a photo with you."

 Martin asked: "I heard from your sister that you are also an actor?"

Catherine's smile disappeared for a large part: "Yes, I saw her become a big star smoothly. I thought this industry would be easy to get along with, so I became an actor, but in the end I could only play a few marginal roles."

 Martin recalled the limited interactions with his sister and said: "The competition in this industry is very fierce, and it is not easy for your sister to succeed."

"She can succeed, why can't I succeed?" Catherine said: "I am no worse than her."

 Martin smiled and said nothing.

 Catherine looked at Martin, suddenly realized, and said: "I understand why she succeeded! She succeeded not because of her ability, but because of your support!"

 The more she thought about it, the more certain she became: "Martin, you are the key to her success!"

Martin did not say this: "Your view is wrong. First of all, your sister is extremely talented, and most people simply don't have her talent..."

Eyes and figure like Daddario's are extremely rare in Hollywood.

Although it can’t be said that the details are fruitful, Alexandra is small in the places that should be small, and the places that should be big are just right, and her shape and color are all top-notch.

 If you don’t believe it, you can become a “True Detective”.

 Catherine took a step forward and said, "My talent is also very good, really."

 Martin did not answer the call.

 Alexandra Daddario is running this way.

 As soon as she started running, the earth seemed to shake.

 Catherine also saw her sister and curled her lips slightly. Who doesn't know these little tricks to attract men?

　　It’s just...it’s just that when she runs, she’s not as amazing and eye-catching as Alexandra.

Alexandra saw her sister when she got off the trailer. She ran to Martin as fast as she could, hugged his left arm, looked at Catherine opposite, and asked: "When did you arrive? Why didn't you give it to me?" Call up?"

 Seeing that Martin's arms were wrapped, Catherine felt a little jealous of her sister's talent, and said angrily: "You were filming, and I called you. Can you pick me up at the airport?"

Alexandra asked: "What's the matter with you? You came here from New York to quarrel with me?"

  Catherine said: "No, no." She turned around and held her sister's arm: "I came here specifically to please you and let you help me find some roles."

 Alexandra glanced at Martin secretly and said, "I will keep an eye on it for you."

 Martin does not participate in the back-and-forth fight between the sisters. They fight back and forth to call sisterly love, and the nature of it changes when he gets involved.

Catherine restrained herself from looking at Martin and said, "If you don't tell me, I will know that all the characters you can find come from Martin."

 Martin pulled Alexandra over and said, “Let’s go back to the hotel and I’ll treat you to dinner.”

Catherine seemed like a simple fan girl: "Okay, can I take a photo with you while eating? Those **** will definitely be jealous to death!"

 Martin smiled: "Of course."

 The three of them got into the Escalade that Bruce drove and returned to the hotel where the crew stayed.

 After consulting the Daddario sisters, Martin treated the two of them to a French meal that evening.

While Martin was going to the bathroom, Catherine whispered: "Are you staying in a suite? Should I stay in your room at night?"

Alexandra generously took out the room card and handed it to her sister: "There is a room number on it. You can just go there by yourself after dinner."

Catherine is not stupid: "You blatantly lived with Martin on the set?"

 “Is this weird?” Alexandra showed off: “I have a high-quality life every day, and I feel refreshed and in good working condition the next day.”

 She pinched her cheek: "Have you noticed that my skin condition is better?"

Catherine didn't need to look carefully to see that her sister was radiant, as if she was only twenty years old.

Alexandra proudly said: "Martin specially provides me with high-protein seafood, whoever uses it will say the best."

“Really?” Catherine said sarcastically: “Be careful if you eat too much and become allergic, you may have difficulty breathing!”

 When Alexandra saw Martin coming back, she stopped talking about these things and took the initiative to change the topic.

 The three of them were chatting and laughing together, and the atmosphere seemed to be very good.

 After dinner, Alexandra followed Martin directly to his suite.

Catherine went to Alexandra's room alone and sat on the sofa to drink water. She felt very unhappy thinking about those characters from Martin and the middleman Alexandra making the difference.

 I hate middlemen who take commissions the most.
