America Tycoon: The Wolf of Showbiz-Chapter 624 - 617 Helping Pitt Save Face

Los Angeles, WMA headquarters.

With Thomas’s assistance, Marina and Svetlana had officially signed their agent contracts with WMA, their direct agent being Thomas’s former assistant, Natasha.

Next, Natasha had a pile of things to do, such as helping her new clients rent a good house, settle down in Los Angeles, and register for the actors guild, among others.

Thomas quietly warned Natasha, "They are now Martin’s people, you understand?"

Having been an assistant for so long, how could Natasha not understand this simple matter? She nodded, "I know what to do."

At noon, Svetlana went to the Century City counter to buy cosmetics.

Marina used visiting a friend as an excuse to leave WMA on her own and contacted her uncle in Paris to report the latest situation.

It was quite normal for a niece to report her safety to her uncle upon arriving in a new environment and to talk about new experiences.

When she returned to WMA and just reached Natasha’s office area, Natasha already called out from within, "Marina, come over for a talk."

After Marina went over, she found that Svetlana had already arrived.

Natasha got straight to the point, "I’ve signed you up for an accent reduction class and will look for suitable roles for you. Keep your cell phones on 24 hours. I’ll notify you immediately if there are any updates."

Marina and Svetlana each received a stack of materials and left the talent agency.

Once Natasha had finished with this series of tasks and could breathe a little easier, she grabbed a cup of coffee from the machine and returned to her desk.

Corinne, who also worked in the hall, came over, rested on Natasha’s office partition, and curiously asked, "Where did you find those two new clients? They are so beautiful; they are natural vase roles."

Since most of her colleagues were male, Natasha was closer to Corinne and simply said, "Of course, these are resources entrusted by the senior Thomas, from Martin’s side..."

She gestured, and Corinne understood immediately, "No wonder they are good-looking with nice figures and excellent temperament."

Natasha said, "My situation here completely relies on Thomas and Martin for momentum. Following behind them, I’m bound to gain something."

Corinne sighed, "Unfortunately, I don’t have the good fortune you have; I’m a lone wolf in this company."

"Take your time, you won’t be short of money with your family background," Natasha smiled. "Maybe one day we’ll come across the next Martin Davis like Thomas did."

"I wish we have the good luck of your former boss," Corinne waved her hand, "Going back, gotta make more calls."

She returned to her workstation, picked up her phone, and sent a text message.

The other side quickly replied, "Received."

She needn’t concern herself with the rest.

After Corinne was busy for a while, she went to the restroom. The moment her pants fell, a tattoo-like mark was exposed on her private area.

Marina didn’t expect that just two days after attending one accent class, Natasha would call her to meet a casting associate director from a crew.

Arriving at WMA, In a meeting room commonly used by ordinary agents, Marina met Natasha and a middle-aged woman.

Natasha introduced, "This is Susie Flavio, a casting director responsible for a crew."

Marina warmly greeted her.

Susie spoke directly, "I have a project in my hands, looking for a suitable actress. Due to the low pay, I can only choose from regular actors. I heard you acted in Martin’s ’John Wick: Chapter 2’?"

"Yes," Marina, who had a certain fame in Russia, knew what to say to her advantage: "I had several scenes and a lot of dialogue with Martin."

Having previously seen the on-set photos provided by Natasha, Susie said, "You fit the role’s requirements well. I’ll pass your information along with a few other actors’ to the casting team. Prepare for the audition."

Marina promptly took out her business card and handed it to Susie, "You can call me anytime."

Susie collected Marina’s business card and materials, then told Natasha, "I have to meet a few other actors; I won’t disturb you further."

Natasha and Marina escorted Susie out of the meeting room.

Susie turned around and went toward Corinne’s area.

The chosen weren’t just Marina.

Natasha handed Marina a stack of materials and urged, "Go back and look them over well, prepare for the audition. I’ll think of a way for the other aspects."

Marina took them, saying, "Thank you."

To stay long-term in Los Angeles and close to Martin, she needed a stable identity and job, plans she had made before coming to America to continue the promising profession of acting in Los Angeles.

After Marina left, Natasha called Thomas and explained the situation in detail.

After a brief thought, Thomas said, "Pay more attention to Marina, and inform me immediately of any situation."

Natasha hung up the phone, somewhat curious as to why Thomas was so concerned about Marina. It must be because of Martin. But Martin knew many women; besides Elizabeth Olsen, she hadn’t heard he was particularly attentive to anyone else.

Could it be that Martin felt something unusual for Marina? It seemed possible, for Marina was the kind of woman who grew more beautiful and appealing the more you looked at her.

Natasha couldn’t help but think in this direction, and she became excited. If Martin was to promote Marina, she had a great chance of becoming a hit, making herself an ace client.

......

In the spacious office upstairs, Thomas hung up Natasha’s call, also a bit curious.

But after having followed Martin all these years, he had long understood how to interact with him. He never asked about things he shouldn’t and meticulous executed the tasks Martin entrusted him with.

This was the way Thomas Ryan had succeeded.

At that moment, the phone rang, and Thomas picked it up.

"Brad Pitt is about to be released from prison," said the person on the other end.

Thomas was surprised, "Wasn’t he supposed to be in until the end of the year? How come it’s two months early?"

The person explained, "Pitt has reached a new agreement with the prosecution. He will testify against Harvey Weinstein as a witness in court, in exchange for being released on parole for the last two months."

Thomas said, "I see."

Pitt’s earlier than expected release was somewhat unexpected, but not a big deal; still, Thomas made it a point to inform Martin right away.

By now, while others were still guessing, Thomas was one hundred percent certain that Brad Pitt’s current predicament was orchestrated by Martin.

Pitt was set up, then the Affleck Brothers, and finally, Harvey Weinstein.

Though Quentin was the head of the Foot Clan, Harvey was the true spirit.

Outside the photography studio of Brooklyn Studio, Bruce, having heard Thomas’s description, said, "Keep an eye on Pitt’s whereabouts."

Thomas acknowledged this on his end.

Bruce returned to the set, entering the studio just as the door closed and filming resumed.

By the time he quietly made his way to the periphery of the set, the scene was nearing its end.

Mene, leaning against the bar, suddenly stood straight up, reaching out as if to prevent an imminent disaster, and said in a deep voice, "Jonathan, put down the gun and just walk away, just walk away."

"The food here is pretty good. Do you know the secret to this steak? It’s all about the duck fat," said the actor from Italy, spearing a piece of well-cut steak and putting it into his mouth, "The flavor is absolutely delicious..."

Mene took a step forward, "Jonathan..."

Martin, without a trace of emotion and without uttering a word, raised his gun towards the Italian and pulled the trigger.

Following the crisp sound of gunshots, the Italian actor fell backwards.

Martin turned and walked away.

Mene, looking helpless, said, "You killed a man in the Continental Hotel, Jonathan, you’ve left me no choice..."

Martin kept walking, step by step, down the hall and out.

The camera stretched to follow his figure until the bar door closed.

Chad lifted his head from behind the director’s monitor and called out loudly, "Good, that take’s a wrap!"

He stood up and praised, "Martin, you’re as excellent as ever." He especially commended Mene, "Your performance was fantastic, you’ve improved a lot."

Mene muttered, "All thanks to Isabel Huppert’s role-playing games."

Chad yelled, "Take a twenty-minute break, then we’ll move on to the next scene."

Martin returned to the rest area.

Bruce came over and said, "Pitt has been granted parole; he’s out two months early."

He briefly explained the situation.

Martin nodded and asked, "I remember after the ’Inception’ shooting incident, Pitt paid a large sum to the victims and the crew. He barely has any assets left under his name, right?"

"Gone," Bruce whispered, "even if there were any, they’d have been swindled away by ex-wives and girlfriends."

Thinking of Jolie and Aniston, Martin once again inwardly sighed at the terrifying nature of ex-wives.

But then he thought again, the problem really lay with Pitt himself.

Johnny Depp’s ex-wife has always said Depp was a good man.

Even Tom Cruise, these past years, had become the love of Nicole Kidman’s life, according to her.

Mene approached and said, "Boss, Pitt’s out with nothing to fall back on. Should I have my young lads look after him a bit?"

Martin waved his hand dismissively, "No need, we’re law-abiding folks, we don’t engage in illegal activities."

Concerned Pitt might end up cold and hungry, he casually suggested, "Old Cloth, we’re good people. We ought to have a charitable heart. How about helping Pitt find a decent job?"

Bruce thought to himself how undignified Pitt was, and now they were to help him retain his dignity. He replied, "I’ll make a call."

Martin nodded, "Go ahead."

Mene, curious, asked, "A job in Sacred Valley?"

Martin replied, "Pitt has never won Best Actor. Let’s help him fulfill that dream, and he can earn a decent income while he’s at it."

This move of a Hollywood star turning to Sacred Valley to pursue artistry should lead to excellent development, positioning him to become a top star in the industry.

Martin had heard Jenna Jones mention a case once—Maitland Ward, the supporting actress from "Miss Very White," who later embraced Sacred Valley and not only won multiple Best Actress awards but also enjoyed considerable sales of her works.
