MTL - American Fame and Fortune-Chapter 768 Three Thousand Dollars of Love
Chapter 768 Three Thousand Dollars of Love
After getting the accurate information from Thomas, Martin said: "Let's go to the bookstore and buy a book called "24 Billys"."
“It’s better that I find someone.” Bruce reminded: “Don’t be noticed by anyone who cares.”
Martin thought of the previous projects, nodded and said, “Buy it and have it delivered directly.”
Bruce went to make a call, and Martin waited patiently.
Not long after, a call came to Bruce. Bruce said a few words, covered the phone and said to Martin: "I found the book. The salesperson at the bookstore told me about "24 Billys" and other books in the same series. One, called "Billy's War."
Martin said: “Buy it back together.”
After waiting for a while, someone delivered the book to the door of the room, and Bruce took it back.
Martin took it and looked at the cover first. The type of book was documentary biographer Daniel Case. The two books were written in 1981 and 1983 respectively.
The latter took many years to be published.
The case of Billy is obviously a precedent and has a great influence on the judiciary.
These two plans are both adaptation methods that are in line with the mainstream of Hollywood.
Martin put down the book.
Back in the room, it was still early to read, so he found "24 Billys" and read it carefully.
At the party, he also received a call from Linda Henry.
But Martin didn’t have time to read at the moment. It was almost time and it was time to go down for dinner.
Martin flipped through it quickly, and with his years of experience in working in Hollywood, he immediately thought of two adaptation plans.
The court ultimately accepted this defense and ruled that Billy was not guilty, but must undergo compulsory mental illness treatment.
There was cooperation between the two parties, and Martin agreed.
The other is to elevate the incident, still using the prototype of Billy as the male protagonist, but the theme and focus of the plot are concentrated on the case.
One is to focus on the individual, that is, the male protagonist based on Billy, mainly to show his behavior and struggles.
Billy Milligan, born in 1955, was imprisoned for armed robbery in 1975. While on parole in 1977, he was arrested on suspicion of robbing and **** three women. During the defense of Billy, the lawyer asked Billy underwent evaluation testing by a psychology authority who determined that Billy suffered from multiple personality disorder.
Billy was also the first person in the United States to be acquitted of a felony due to mental disorder.
Fenway Group cooperates with the crew. The boss lady knows something about the crew's actions and knows that Martin is preparing to leave Boston, so she specially invited him to a private party.
Bruce next to him also closed the book "Billy's War".
This does not mean that he was freed. During the treatment, he suffered a series of inhuman treatment.
In the subsequent court defense, the defense lawyer defended Billy on the grounds that "Billy was delirious and could not control himself at the time of the crime" and summoned four psychiatrists and a psychologist to testify for Billy.
Before leaving the set, Martin invited everyone to enjoy a big meal, which was also a party.
The one starring Zhan Yimei started from this perspective.
Psychiatrists in Ohio conducted further psychological evaluations of Billy.
The results of this evaluation also showed that Billy suffered from multiple personality disorder.
Martin asked: “How do you feel after reading it?”
"It's normal for people to have two sides and three sides, just like you and me." Bruce picked up the book, shook it, and said, "If everything written in it is true, this guy is scarier than you."
Martin's face turned dark and he said: "Billy is a robbery rapist. I will not do such a thing."
Bruce chuckled: "That's right. Although in my opinion, you also have a somewhat split personality, you won't lose control."
Martin directly gave him a middle finger, picked up the mobile phone and dialed Thomas's number.
…
Los Angeles, Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
In a suite, a beautiful woman with long brown hair emerged from the bedroom and said to Thomas in the living room: "Hi, dear, haven't you finished your work?"
Thomas turned his head and looked over and said, "Wait a moment, don't come out again unless I call you."
The beautiful woman stood at the door, her tall figure like a model: "You called me over and then left me alone in the bedroom..."
Facing the $3,000 in love, Thomas was a little impatient. He took out the money and stuffed it into her hand: "If you want to stay, go in and wait patiently. If you don't want to stay, you can leave now."
The reward was received, but the beautiful woman thought about it and turned back to the bedroom.
This person is rich and generous, and he will be able to do more in the future.
Thomas couldn't help but nodded when he saw the bedroom door was locked again. This kind of love for one night or several nights is much more convenient than finding a long-term girlfriend, and there are not so many messy troubles.
He glanced at the bald head reflected on the TV screen, stretched out his hand to touch it, and smiled casually. What kind of beautiful woman can't be found with money, status and strength?
The room was quiet all the time. Thomas held the phone tightly and waited patiently.
He has worked with Martin for so many years, knows Martin’s style of doing things, and knows that he may contact him again at any time.
Sure enough, the phone rang soon.
Thomas answered the call: "Martin, is there anything else?" The other side said directly: "Go and find out who owns the copyright of the two documentary biographies "24 Billys" and "Billy's War", and find out about Billy. -The man Milligan, see if he is still alive.
Thomas responded: "Let someone do it early tomorrow morning."
"Yes." Martin reminded: "Keep it confidential."
Thomas hung up the phone, repeated Martin's request several times in his mind to make sure he would not forget it, put away the phone and entered the bedroom.
This is a $3,000 love story.
…
Boston, Bay Area.
The sea view villa was brightly lit and a private party was being held.
There were people coming and going in the huge banquet hall.
After Martin came over, Linda Henry kept talking to him: "John originally wanted to entertain you in person, but some unexpected situations suddenly occurred in Liverpool. He rushed to Liverpool urgently this morning to deal with it, and repeatedly asked me to apologize to you. ”
This woman particularly likes the color red and wore a red evening dress tonight.
"It doesn't matter." Martin received a call from John Henry himself in the morning and asked casually: "Liverpool in the Premier League?"
Linda was worried that Martin would have objections to her cooperation partner, and explained in detail: "There was a problem with Liverpool's summer transfer. The club of a Brazilian player who had previously negotiated suddenly went back on his word. That person was a key player introduced by the club during this transfer window. The head coach was a little emotional after the accident, so John had to go over and talk to him in person.”
She picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Martin: "Please accept our apology."
Martin smiled: "I wish Liverpool good results next season."
Linda also smiled: "Thank you."
She took Martin to drink and chat together, telling interesting things about the sports and entertainment circles, and occasionally mentioned further cooperation in the future.
Sports and entertainment are not divided into different categories, and this is also true in the United States.
This woman is not only responsible for Fenway’s external publicity, she also has good hands and a good mouth in public relations.
Linda is beautiful, has a hot figure, is highly educated, and speaks nicely, making it easy for others to like her.
But for a person like Martin, he may not give up when he sees a white rabbit, so naturally he will not make any promises easily.
After chatting for a while, Martin found someone he knew in the banquet hall. He said something to Linda and went over.
"Gisele, long time no see." Martin took the initiative to greet Gisele Bündchen and shook hands with her husband Tom Brady.
The latter said: "I heard that you were filming in Boston recently?"
Martin said politely: "It's a pity that the NFL is in the offseason and I can't go to the New England Patriots game."
Tom Brady responded with a few words and excused himself to the other side.
Giselle Bündchen looked around in the banquet hall and asked, "Leo's not here?"
Martin said: "No, I haven't seen Leo for a while. He seems to be planning a new movie."
Giselle said: "Besides making movies, making money, and picking up girls, he doesn't care about anything else."
"Actually, Leo has always cared about you." Martin, a bastard, did not hesitate to dig holes for his best friend: "Maybe you don't know, after Jack, myself and Leo drank too much, Leo would cry bitterly every time and say The person he feels most sorry for is you.”
Hearing this, Giselle looked a little strange and seemed to be in a trance, as if she was remembering that happy time.
She was the only woman to whom Leonardo was betrothed.
But Gisele was not an ordinary person. She quickly came to her senses and said, "Do you really care? Don't think that I don't know what you three have done. It's not a secret in the modeling industry."
Martin was not embarrassed at all and said: "We are just thin-skinned and can't hide our face. We don't know how to refuse their invitation."
Giselle doesn’t believe a word of these words, is she so thin-skinned? He also serves as a tester for the fashion supermodel group!
"Contact Leo more when you have time." Martin continued to dig the hole. Leonardo wouldn't be able to kill anyone if he fell, so he could still watch the fun from above.
There were many people in the banquet hall, mostly from the business and sports circles.
Martin went to the bar and was just sitting on a high chair, about to order a cocktail, when a woman came next to him and leaned on the bar with her arms.
“I look just like you when I walk in.” Scarlett’s blond hair is tied behind her head, and her curly blond hair is scattered on her shoulders. The twenty-seven-year-old woman is at the peak of her appearance and figure.
She turned to look at Martin and asked, "Didn't you see your female companion coming?"
Martin smiled: "Everyone left, and I was left alone. I stayed alone in Boston, participating in these tedious social activities. I was lonely and tired, as if I had fallen into an abyss."
Scarlett suddenly stretched out a hand towards Martin, waiting for him.
Martin put his hand into Scarlett's.
Scarlett pulled him up: "I am the one who saves you from the abyss."
She pulled Martin out: "Please call me the angel of salvation."
Martin thought she was more like a female Buddha. He waved to Linda Henry from a distance, followed Scarlett's footsteps and said: "We met eight years ago, and I waited for eight years for you to save me."
Scarlett said directly: "Because you were not charming enough eight years ago."
Eight years ago, she was already famous across the United States, while Martin was just a bright and handsome young actor who would not offend anyone.
