Chapter 827 If Martin can take advantage of the popularity, so can we.
Atlanta, toward the Morrow District to the south.
A single-family house far away from the community was converted into a studio.
A black man came out, opened the mailbox at the door, took out a few pieces of mail and newspapers, and returned to the studio.
“What’s the new news, Ace?” A fat black man came down from upstairs.
Ace put down the newspaper and went to open the mail, saying, "I hope it's all good news."
The fat black man Kenan came here, picked up a piece of mail, tore it open, looked at it, cursed, and hurried back to the second floor.
Ace dropped the mail and followed him, asking as he walked: "What's going on? What happened? No one will mail us bullets, right? We bought goods on credit last time, and the bill is still early."
Kenan turned around: "Shut up, you stupid old black man!"
"Hey, man, you're racist!" Ace yelled out of habit, and then shrugged helplessly: "It's a pity that you are also a stupid old black man and I can't sue you!"
Kenan came to the door of the largest room on the second floor, slammed the door hard, and said loudly: "Guys, trouble is coming!"
"Shut up." Dorothy read the lawyer's letter carefully. The content was all about Paul's Twitter and INS accounts.
Ace then said: "Martin can take advantage of others, why can't we take advantage of his?"
There is a man and a woman in the room, both black.
The man is fifteen or sixteen years old, his black ancestry is not obvious, and his skin color is slightly darker than Mene. With his carefully dressed up appearance, he looks like a tanned young version of Martin at first glance.
Paul, an Internet celebrity, said: "If you sue, just sue. If a father sues his son, it will cause a sensation on the entire Internet. Then my number of fans will skyrocket."
Kenan waited until she finished reading it, took it back and read it again, and then gave the lawyer's letter to the client, Paul.
"My father's lawyer's letter? Is he coming to recognize me?" Paul is young and speaks like a joke, with a rap rhythm: "What preparations do you think I need to make? Take a picture of me and my superstar dad. video?”
It seems that I have played a lot, and I have already gotten into it.
Paul's voice sounded like a rap: "Isn't it natural for a son to rub against his father?"
Kennan replied: "It's usually symbolic. There have been numerous cases in Hollywood of this kind of publicity-seeking behavior, and the highest one paid a compensation of US$10,000."
Ace followed from behind and shouted: "Add me, call me and my godfather Martin!"
Dorothy felt relieved: "We can totally bear it."
The black woman is in her thirties, obviously of mixed race, and her skin is much whiter than Kenan and Ace.
"Paul's account can definitely be saved. The name Martin is universal." Kennan did some research and consulted professionals when the other party's agent contacted him for the first time: "According to past cases in Hollywood, Paul needs to delete all For the pictures, videos and tweets involving Martin, a public apology will be published in the newspaper and a certain amount of compensation for reputational damage will be paid.”
“Why?” Paul, a young man, was curious.
Dorothy asked: “What’s the worst that happens if we lose the case?”
Dorothy said: “If you continue to post relevant content, you may be prosecuted next.”
Kennan handed the mail to the black woman: "Dorothy, I just received a lawyer's letter from Los Angeles, Martin Davis' lawyer."
Ace asked urgently: "How much is it?"
Kennan simply explained: "Because most Hollywood stars, before they became popular, they were attracted by other popular stars, and Martin Davis was no exception. I investigated carefully and found that he was attracted by Paris Hilton. With the popularity, I personally joined the triangle game between Jolie, Aniston and Brad Pitt and became the biggest beneficiary.”
Kennan said: "The truth is this, we also expected that the other party might sue."
Dorothy said: "Paul is born to look a bit like Martin. This is his unique advantage. Martin is also our most popular target. Most of Paul's fans on Twitter and INS are attracted by those who are related to him." Martin’s tweets that have a special relationship have attracted him. To give up these now is equivalent to giving up the fans that Paul has worked hard to accumulate.”
She is Paul's mother and has a complete plan for Paul's future: "If Martin Davis wants to sue, just sue. When the news breaks, we secretly bribe the tabloids to spread the gossip and say that Paul is Martin's." illegitimate child."
Kenan shook his belly and said, "This will attract more attention from Paul."
Dorothy added: "We will release Paul's first rap song then, so that the whole world can see Paul's talent!"
Ace asked: "Is this possible?"
Paul’s rap tune rings out: “You doubt my talent?”
“Of course, because there are successful cases.” Dorothy gave an example: “Justin Bieber first became popular through online operations. Don’t underestimate the star-making ability of the Internet.”
Kennan said: "We will continue to shoot subjects related to Martin's father and release them as planned."
Ace is the team’s photographer and makeup artist: “I’ll do the preparations.”
Dorothy said again: "Don't forget, we are black people!"
Kennan said: "When necessary, Paul could also change his sexual orientation and even his gender."
In the black tradition, one person becomes a star and can support a lot of people, not to mention helping his team.
Paul quickly changed into a set of red clothes, a bit like the clothing of the leader of the Coca-Cola Cult.
After taking the photo, he continued to tweet. As an operator, Kennan posted the revised photo, along with the title and a paragraph of text, on Twitter, INS and YouTube.
Title: "Me and My Father, the Leader".
…
The cornfields on the farm stretch as far as the eye can see. The drone rises into the sky and carries a camera to take a bird's-eye view of the ground.
Martin and MacKenzie-Foy finished filming and got out of the Dodge pickup truck.
The props team and stunt team came on stage to decorate the interior of the pickup truck.
The stunt driver put on the same costume as Martin and got on the car, and put two dummies, one large and one small, wearing clothes, ready to film the scene of rushing into the cornfield. Nolan came to the front of the car and said to the stunt driver: "Don't worry about anything else, just drive forward with full power and keep the vehicle running as straight as possible."
The driver made an OK gesture.
Nolan left here and got into a filming car, and waved to Martin again.
Martin also got into the car.
Nolan stood in the trunk and operated an IMAX camera himself.
Martin grabbed the guardrail and said, "Shall we follow?"
This is a vehicle specially used for shooting high-speed shots. The rear compartment is equipped with a stabilizer. Nolan pointed to the vehicle in front and said specifically to Martin: "This scene will be finally presented on the screen with a multi-angle mixed lens edit." ”
He raised his head and looked at the drone in the sky: "High-altitude aerial shots, behind-the-car chase shots, and the in-car scenes you shot before, mixed editing."
Martin listened carefully.
Nolan added: "The logic of these shots lies in movement. Keep high-speed motion during shooting. When selecting shots for editing later, you must also keep the shots in high-speed motion. This is conducive to arousing the audience's emotions."
Martin nodded: "I understand."
All departments were ready, and with Nolan’s order, filming officially began.
The Dodge pickup truck ahead spun on the dirt road and rushed into the corn field. Countless corn trees fell down, and the car plowed an almost straight line in the green field.
The drone in the sky is taking a bird's-eye view.
In the car behind, Martin and Nolan controlled the IMAX camera to follow up.
Nolan’s and Chad’s styles are obviously different.
Chad rarely actually controls the camera.
Nolan’s crew is filming many scenes that require IMAX cameras, and he will shoot them himself.
The corn fields here were rented by the crew on farm land and planted in advance, so they can do as much damage as they want.
Nolan later planned to burn down the cornfield.
The Dodge pickup truck ran wildly through the corn, and did not stop until it rushed out of the corn field.
The car behind also drove out of the cornfield.
Nolan operated the camera, played back the scene he had just chased, looked at it again, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's it."
This shot is declared approved.
The stunt driver in front got out of the car. Martin jumped out of the filming car and went over to fist bump with him: "Man, you did a great job."
The stunt driver is also an acquaintance of Martin, having worked with him several times before in the "John Wick" series: "Compared to the action scenes we shot, this one is not that difficult."
Martin looked up at the sky: "The most difficult thing is to drive a spaceship out of the earth."
The stunt driver said seriously: "I'm not a substitute for this. I've never learned to fly a spaceship."
Martin nodded: "I haven't learned it either. It should be too late to learn now."
The two joked a bit, and Martin returned to the filming vehicle and headed back to the dirt road over the farm.
The next step is to shoot the drone footage, so the actors can rest.
Several off-road vehicles came over and pulled Martin and the others back to where the trailer was parked.
As soon as Martin got out of the car, Charlotte Kirk came over and gave him an unopened bottle of mineral water: "I took it out of the ice bucket and let it sit for a while, and the temperature was just right."
“Thank you.” Martin took it.
Charlotte Kirk then delivered the other mineral waters in the box to the returning actors one by one, showing that she was very good at doing things.
These days, she is quite popular on the set. She is beautiful and willing to mingle with other people.
Martin sat on the chair and asked Bruce: "I heard Nolan said that she was introduced to the crew. Where did she come from?"
Bruce said: "It is said that it was recommended by Charles Rowan."
Martin nodded slightly and said no more.
After a short rest, Bruce came over with his cell phone: "Your son tweeted again, and it's still related to you."
Martin gave Bruce a middle finger, took the phone and looked at Twitter, where there was a photo of the black guy wearing a red shirt and his Coca-Cola cult public copyright poster.
There is also a title on the photo: "Me and My Father, the Leader"!
There are many more comments below.
“Don’t tell me, this man looks exactly like Martin. Martin is a super playboy. Is he really an illegitimate child?”
“The promoter is from Atlanta. He seems to be 16 years old. Judging by his age, it’s not impossible.”
“There are many African Americans in Atlanta, accounting for half of the population, and many people from lower-class society live together, and Martin is from a lower-class background…”
Bruce said: “It’s obvious that this internet celebrity is trying to get attention.”
Martin put down his cell phone: “Let’s go through the legal process.”
