Chapter 871 Have Some Shame

The cooperation was not agreed upon, and Dwayne Johnson and his team quickly said goodbye and left.

Thomas said: "He seems to be very optimistic about the project you chose."

Martin thought of his past memories and said: "It's normal. The male protagonist of the original script is too consistent with the image he has been creating."

Judging from today's situation, if he hadn't discovered "San Andreas" in advance and had the first choice in WMA, this script should have been chosen by Dwayne Johnson.

"Your priority in the company is the first." Thomas, whose status in the agency is several levels higher than Raymond, said: "Don't worry about them, just move the project forward as it should."

Martin temporarily put this matter aside and continued to browse the WMA database.

This time, there was no gain.

During this period, he received a call from Alexandra Daddario, asking him to go out for a drink in the evening.

Martin agreed and asked her to go directly to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

Alexandra finished filming "Sicario" and was participating in the post-production dubbing of the crew in Los Angeles.

Unfortunately, Catherine Daddario was not in Los Angeles, which was somewhat imperfect.

Alexandra's phone call just ended, Martin's phone rang again, but it was Leonardo calling.

"Asshole, come out for a drink, Jack and I will go to Avalon Bar in a while, you come over!" He reminded Martin specifically: "Remember to bring a female companion."

"Tonight?" Martin hesitated for a moment: "Okay, but you wait a moment, I need to talk to Emmanuel here."

Leonardo said: "Okay, we'll wait for you."

Martin turned around and called Alexandra again: "The plan has changed, you go to Avalon Bar and wait for me first. By the way, Leo and Jack will also go there. If they go there first, you wait for me together."

Alexandra replied: "I'll be there right away."

Martin hung up the phone, left the office with Thomas, and went to the reception room next door, where Ari-Emanuel was waiting.

This year is Martin's contract year, Thomas is not worried about the agency contract with Martin, he has seen clearly in the past few years that as long as he works hard for Martin, Martin will not change his agent.

Even if Martin wants to change his agency, he will just follow Martin and change his agency.

But Ari-Emanuel doesn't think so. Martin is the signboard of WMA. The annual income he brings to the agency alone is already ranked first in Hollywood. Any agency with a certain scale would not want to poach Martin.

WMA has no choice, but Martin has many choices.

In the reception room, Emanuel smiled and said to Martin: "We have cooperated very happily in the past few years. WMA's agency commission has always been the lowest level in the industry. Between us..."

Martin understood what he meant and said directly: "After the contract expires, I will renew it with WMA for another three years."

Hearing this, Emanuel breathed a sigh of relief, but it was not time to relax completely. Martin could only renew his agency contract with WMA at the beginning of next year.

Damn California law. Look at my Korean counterparts, I can't envy them.

Emmanuel also had the capital to win over Martin, and said, "Ram will spare no effort to support you."

Martin smiled and said, "I hope we will have a more pleasant cooperation in the future."

Emanuel stood up and shook hands with Martin. Whether to renew the contract or not was entirely in the hands of the other party.

Martin has not thought about changing his agency for the time being.

It is no exaggeration to say that as WMA's top client, the entire company is his nanny.

Although other agencies have contacted him, they have not offered truly attractive conditions.

It is better to use someone familiar than someone new.

…………

Back in the office of agent Raymond, Dwayne Johnson was not very happy. The project he was optimistic about had already been bought by someone else, and his mood was not very good after all.

Besides, he was not the kind of carefree person on the surface, but he was very easy to be fussy.

Raymond persuaded: "The copyright is already in the hands of Martin Davis. Even if we want to, there is no way. The company has a new script every month, and we will find one that suits you in the end."

Garcia, the ex-wife's manager, knows Johnson better: "Go out and relax, meet a few friends for a drink, and you will feel better."

"I'm fine." Johnson showed his signature smile, took out his mobile phone and called someone: "Ray, what are you doing? Come out for a drink."

Ray Parker, a friend he made during the filming of "G.I. Joe," replied: "Okay, I was thinking about going to a nightclub, Avalon Bar, I'll treat you."

Johnson said: "Okay, see you at the bar in twenty minutes."

Garcia patted Johnson's upper arm, which was thicker than her thigh: "Go, good wine can take away troubles."

Johnson left the office, went downstairs quickly alone, drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and went straight to the Avalon Bar on Sunset Boulevard.

When they arrived at the bar, Ray Parker, who lived near Sunset Boulevard, had already arrived.

The two found a booth and ordered a bunch of wine.

Avalon Bar and the Grapevine Manor across the street have always been nightclubs where Hollywood stars gather. They are located in Beverly Hills, where celebrities live, and are one of the most prosperous areas of the Sunset Building.

Just as Johnson sat down, Gal Gadot, who starred with him in the "Fast and Furious" series, came over to say hello.

The two were familiar with each other, and Johnson dealt with them for a few words and sent them away.

Ray Park stared at the long legs that were walking away and asked, "Why, you are not interested in her."

Johnson shrugged and shook his chest. Because he was wearing a tight T-shirt, his strong pectoral muscles shook: "Girls with smaller breasts than me, what's the point? It's better to touch me than to touch her."

Ray Park couldn't help laughing: "Most of the female stars in the circle are not among those you are interested in."

Johnson picked up the glass and drank a glass with him: "Can you accept women with smaller breasts than you?"

Ray Park poured wine for the two of them: "I wish you can find a bigger one soon."

Johnson took another sip of wine.

The two chatted and drank, and soon the bottle of wine was almost empty.

With the alcohol rising, Johnson was in a much better mood and talked about the movie.

Ray Park asked with some annoyance: "Will there be a sequel to "G.I. Joe"?

Johnson shrugged: "Who knows? Paramount Pictures said that the commercial response was not good." He glanced at his friend across from him: "Well, you played a masked man and never showed your face from beginning to end."

Ray Park drank a lot and scratched his head: "I am also an action director and stunt double. I was much better than Chad Stahelski a few years ago. In the same crew, Chad could only be my deputy."

He shook his head and sighed: "Look at it now, Chad is a first-line action movie director with a net worth of tens of millions of dollars, and what about me? My career is still that bad."

Johnson said: "You and I are both lacking a great opportunity."

At this point, he remembered the script he had read today. He didn't know why, but he felt that the script would be more successful than "Hercules" if it was made into a movie starring him.

This strange intuition is hard to explain, but it has occurred in many successful movie stars.

The two drank another glass. Ray Park picked up the bottle and was about to pour the wine. He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were attracted by a woman walking across from him.

The woman was wearing a dark short jacket, and the white T-shirt inside was tight on her body, which highlighted her huge advantages, making Ray Park unconsciously think of Jennifer Connelly when she was riding a wooden horse.

To be precise, it was more prominent than Jennifer Connelly.

Ray Park gestured with his chin: "Dawn, there is a woman with bigger breasts than yours."

While talking, Alexandra Daddario walked quickly past this booth and came to an empty seat diagonally opposite. After sitting down, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message.

Now it was Johnson facing Alexandra diagonally.

This woman with husky-like ice-blue eyes, both in figure and appearance, was in Johnson's aesthetic.

Johnson recognized who she was - Alexandra Daddario.

The woman who was rumored to have had several affairs with Martin Davis.

Johnson wanted to approach her, but was a little hesitant.

Ray Park had a simple idea and said, "If you like her, just ask for her contact information."

Johnson picked up the wine glass, drank it all, took out his phone, and walked over there.

Before he went over, he had a signature smile on his face, a smile that was professionally designed and trained to make people feel trust and security.

The early Johnson and the current Johnson are like two different people in terms of appearance and demeanor.

When he first entered Hollywood, Johnson gave people a very aggressive feeling.

Now, he looks like a simple, upright and strong uncle next door.

"Good evening, Alexandra." Johnson greeted with a smile.

Alexandra nodded: "Hello."

Johnson had some skills: "It's like this, I have a movie in preparation, and I need a heroine with outstanding appearance. I saw you passing by me just now, and I think you might be suitable."

He smiled and invited: "Can you give me your contact information? When the actor recruitment starts, I can contact you for the audition."

If it was before she met Martin, Alexandra might not refuse, but Martin helped her play the heroine in many films, which broadened her horizons. She immediately smiled and declined: "My schedule for the next two years is full."

Johnson's smile froze for a moment. If it were in the past, he would have left, but he hit a wall in the afternoon and had just drunk a lot of wine, so his thoughts were different from usual.

He said again: "There is always one more choice."

Alexandra said: "Thank you, no need."

Johnson did not leave, but was still pestering.

At the door of the bar, Leonardo and Nicholson each brought their female companions into the bar.

Following Leonardo was Australian actress Margot Robbie.

Nicholson brought not Jennifer Lawrence, but his daughter Lorraine.

Leonardo caught up with Nicholson in front of him and asked, "Why did you bring Lorraine here?"

Nicholson raised his eyebrows and deliberately said, "Of course, it's to cultivate the relationship between her and Martin so that they can get married soon."

Lorraine rolled her eyes helplessly: "Whatever you three do, can you please not drag me into it?"

Nicholson said, "There's no one to mess with now, so we can only mess with Martin."

Lorraine said, "Because you three have a bad reputation, no one wants to mess with you."

Margot Robbie reminded, "Isn't that the female companion Martin mentioned, Alexandra Daddario? It seems like someone is bothering her."

"Martin, that bastard, will be here in a while, let's go over and take a look." Leonardo walked forward first.

Nicholson followed.

Out of habit in the past few years, Lorraine took out her mobile phone and turned on the camera at the first time.

It's mainly because the bastard trio messes with people at every turn, and a little hesitation may miss a good opportunity to earn a lot of pocket money.

…………

Faced with the drunk Johnson's entanglement, Alexandra gradually became impatient and said directly: "Please respect yourself!"

Johnson's head was shaken to a dizzy state, and he was a little sober at this moment. Just as he was about to say a few words to save face, someone suddenly came quickly from behind.

An old man with a bulging belly, combed back hair, and wearing sunglasses in the bar stood between Johnson and Alexandra.

Nicholson has a long experience and is the mascot of the Academy and Oscars. Seeing that this muscle stick was entangled with his brother's mistress, he naturally didn't have a good tone: "Dude, can't you hear this lady repeatedly rejecting you? Have some shame."

Nicholson and Leonardo's appearance has attracted countless eyeballs. Many people turned their heads and looked over here.

Being called shameless in public, Johnson was embarrassed: "I'm inviting Miss Daddario to play a role!"

He explained, looking down at Nicholson, who was slightly hunched over: "Watch your words!"

Ray Park saw that the situation was not good, and immediately came to Johnson's side.

Leonardo also rushed over: "It is not a gentleman's behavior to harass a lady like this, you should apologize to her."

Lorraine chose a good angle and filmed skillfully with her mobile phone.

Margot Robbie looked back at the door of the bar and saw Martin coming in, and waved to him.

Martin saw what happened, and also saw Johnson, who was bald and had almost exploded muscles, and ran over quickly.

The footsteps attracted more attention.

In the eyes of many people, Hollywood stars are mostly a group of rich, idle and low-quality people.

It may not be the case in other places, but it is almost recognized in the most famous nightclubs in Los Angeles.

There are too many Hollywood stars who have conflicts and fights because of drinking too much or other things.

Avalon had long been accustomed to it and did not deal with it immediately.

They were experienced, and it would not be too late for the people in the bar to show up after the anger of both sides was truly vented on each other.

The compensation could be asked for at will, and there was no need to worry that quarrels or fights would affect the bar's business, but it would attract more people.

At this moment, the three bastards arrived, and the melon-eating crowd was excited. Many people even gathered around, wanting to eat a big and sweet melon.

Martin came to Leonardo, glanced at Daddario across from him, and asked, "What's going on."

Leonardo said concisely: "This bastard harassed Alexandra."

Alexandra across from him nodded to Martin.

Martin turned his eyes to Johnson and said firmly: "Apologize to her."

"I just invited Ms. Daddario to play a role." There were people all around him, how could Johnson apologize in this situation? Moreover, Martin's tone made him very unhappy. Under the influence of alcohol, he couldn't help but say one more sentence: "I remember Martin, your girlfriend is Miss Elizabeth Olsen, right? When did you change her?"

If they really want to fight, Johnson is not afraid. Not to mention himself, Ray Park has won the British martial arts championship.
