America Tycoon: The Wolf of Showbiz

The film's story took place in New York, so the crew deliberately chose New York for the premiere of "Limitless".

On the day of the premiere, the weather was not kind as a heavy snowfall began in New York.

In front of the Metropolitan Opera House at the Lincoln Arts Center, the red carpet soon turned white, and the event staff urgently set up coverage tents and, taking a leaf out of the Oscar's book, erected extra-large tents in the waiting area.

By the afternoon, the snow showed no signs of letting up, and the heavily funded premiere could not possibly be canceled.

In a Cadillac on the move, Louise bent her finger, wiped the mist on the car window, and looked at the heavy snowfall outside with some concern, "Now the whole Northeast is under snow, and if it continues to snow into the weekend, it's going to affect a lot of people's travel."

Martin, on the other side, was also looking out of the window, "The weather forecast has been predicting snow for days, and even if it stops, a major cold wave is expected."

New York and Boston in the Northeastern United States are important Hollywood film market territories.

Louise pushed up her glasses and said, "I hope your draw is strong enough."

Martin looked up at the skylight, where the leaden sky was a blanket of white, "Should have brought Leo and Jack."

Louise didn't understand, "What for? Bring your damn brother to lead another bull?"

Martin replied, "They have a secret weapon in their hands, maybe if they shoot at the sky, the snow will stop?"

Using a Gatling to brew at him.

He still remembered in his previous life, in his hometown, there was a handsome general who brought cannons to the top of a mountain and fired into the sky to pray for rain, and it was said that the rain soon came.

The car entered the Lincoln Arts Center and after a brief wait, arrived in front of the Metropolitan Theater.

Martin straightened his suit and flashed his sunniest smile; as soon as he got out of the car, he struck his best photo pose.

The flashlights illuminated the dull sky.

Martin walked down the wet red carpet towards the Metropolitan Theater.

At the same time, he smiled and nodded at the people around, looking for where the fan club and the Cola Cult followers were.

Near the media area, Martin saw a large group of people wearing red T-shirts and holding up specially made posters of him.

These people had put on oversized T-shirts from the Cola Cult over their thick coats.

"Hey, Martin, I'm Ted!"

A young man in a red T-shirt shouted, "I'm one of the leaders of the New York Fan Club..."

Martin had done his homework, "I remember you, the lucky audience of 'The Hills Have Eyes'."

"It's me! It's me!" Ted was extremely excited and quickly handed Martin a pen and pulled up the red T-shirt.

Martin signed directly on the T-shirt, and others followed suit, also asking for his autograph on the T-shirts of the Cola Cult.

Afterward, Bruce handed him a can of Coca-Cola, and Martin raised his can to the people on both sides of the red carpet.

This had become a requisite ritual whenever Martin walked the red carpet.

Where the Sect Hierarch of the Cola Cult passed, there was sure to be a legend about Coca-Cola left behind.

As Martin stepped into the media interview area, director Danny Boyle was being interviewed by reporters.

He praised Martin generously, "Martin is a very dedicated actor, he completes shots of any difficulty with a hundred percent effort, anything he works on, he does it to the best of his ability."

In the crew, mutual business promotion during publicity was inevitable. Experience exclusive tales on empire

Martin then accepted interviews as well.

"This is an extremely important film in my acting career, because the role is similar to my own experiences, I was very excited when this role came before me..."

After boasting about himself, Martin didn't forget to praise his crewmates, "Robert De Niro has given me a lot of excellent advice in acting; to be personally guided by a legend, even thinking about it now excites me."

"Danny is a multi-talented director, his shots are filled with wondrous beauty, the style is sharp and unimaginable."

In the end, Martin talked about Aniston, "The first time I watched Friends, Jen became my idol. I was just a little brat back then; Rachel filled the void of a poor boy's empty spiritual world. She is my goddess, do you know what it's like to act with your goddess? A dream come true!"

A sudden burst of cheering erupted from both sides of the red carpet as two women who walked on stole the spotlight instantly, their figures overshadowing all other female guests at the premiere.

Carolina Kurkova and Angela Lindvall accepted Martin's invitation to attend the premiere as well.

They transformed the damp red carpet with the feel of a fashion runway.

Hollywood's female stars, under normal circumstances, are not very willing to be photographed with supermodels, especially Victoria's Secret models with athletic figures.

When it comes to figures and a sense of fashion, one could easily be overshadowed.

The main creators of the crew gathered together, took a photo in front of the sponsor's backdrop, and then entered the theater.

The lobby of the Metropolitan Theater was spacious enough for the main creators and guests of the crew to linger before the general audience entered, and then they would proceed to the screening hall.

As Martin went inside, some people came over to greet him.

The editor-in-chief of the World News Report, Mokrich, stood in front of Martin, "Long time no see, Martin, your piece turned out surprisingly brilliant."

Originally, when Martin was surreptitiously photographed by three World News Report journalists in Washington, he offset the compensation with article fees, but he lacked the ability to write a brilliant piece, so he threw the heavy lifting to Thomas.

Thomas did a good job.

Martin smiled and replied, "We can definitely reach a new agreement, I don't mind continuing to contribute to the World News Report."

"There might be an opportunity." Mokrich's tone shifted abruptly as he said, "Let's talk privately for a moment."

Martin nodded, "Sure."

The two found a secluded spot, and Mokrich asked, "I heard you don't get along with Harvey Weinstein?"

Of course, Martin wouldn't admit it and scrutinized Mokrich.

Mokrich vaguely stated, "I've got some information about Harvey and I'm looking for someone from the Hollywood industry to help me verify it."

Martin's first reaction was that the World News Report had picked up on Ivan's lead and discovered something.

Being who he was, how could he easily trust a media with a conscience and professional ethics like the World News Report? He promptly said, "I've only been in Hollywood for three years, dedicating all my energy to work, and know too little, I'm afraid I won't be suitable for the task."

However, Mokrich said, "You might not understand Harvey well; he's a very domineering person. Actors who've had conflicts with him were invariably retaliated against by him."

Martin knew these words were true and replied, "No worries, Warner will mediate in this situation."

Only then did Mokrich realize that every one of Martin's films had Warner behind it.

He did not persevere any further, "Good luck to you."

Bruce approached from behind.

Martin said, "Be extra cautious in New York, the World News Report has operated here for many years."

Bruce replied, "Don't worry, I've updated the equipment, those versatile reporters won't get a chance."

"Versatile?" Martin thought to himself; being a reporter for the World News Report, interviewing skills didn't seem to be the key.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Carolina and Angela, two top models, came over.

Martin remembered something; he had invited Georgina Chapman to the premiere. While greeting the two models, he asked Bruce.

Bruce quickly located where Georgina was.

Leading the two of them over, Martin said, "Let me introduce you to a friend from the Los Angeles fashion circle."

Seeing the tall Georgina, Angela leaned in and asked quietly, "It's not someone you often play games with, right?"

Carolina naturally understood what the 'games' referred to and said with a smile, "Who doesn't like Martin? Attractive, handy, and fun to be with."

Martin, with a serious face, "Let's keep it professional."

When Georgina came over, Angela and Carolina quickly switched to their standard supermodel demeanor.

Martin introduced everyone, Georgina recognized Angela and Carolina, but the two models did not know her.

After exchanging pleasantries, Martin quickly steered the conversation towards fashion and clothing.

With him as a mediator, the two sides quickly warmed up to each other and even exchanged contact information.

Georgina gave Martin a covert glance, filled with silent gratitude.

Martin smiled, didn't say much, and soon left.

On one hand, he wouldn't interfere with the follow-up.

On the other hand, he saw good old Mene accompanying a stout middle-aged woman into the lounge.

Mene immediately spotted Martin and led Emma Thomas over, "Hey, Martin, let me introduce a friend to you."

This was the first time Martin met Emma Thomas in person. She was just as he had imagined, and compared to other Hollywood directors' wives or girlfriends, Emma Thomas was much fuller.

From what he remembered, she hadn't divorced Nolan, which was quite rare in Hollywood.

Clearly having a good relationship with Emma, Mene introduced, "Martin, this is Emma Thomas, a very impressive female producer."

Martin shook her hand, "Last time, we almost had a chance to work together."

Thanks to Mene, Emma had a good impression of Martin and replied with a smile, "I think we'll have an opportunity in the future."

Emma Thomas only briefly interacted with Martin and then went somewhere else with Mene.

Georgina hit it off with Angela and Carolina. By the time the guests in the lounge started moving towards the screening hall, the three found Martin to say a quick word, decided not to go over, and stayed back to continue their lively conversation.

Martin lingered behind. After stepping outside, he found Mene waiting for him.

"Boss, I've got confirmed information that Jonathan Nolan has finished the script for the new Batman movie sequel," Mene, who had been in frequent contact with Emma Thomas, disclosed. "I expect he'll submit the script to Warner Bros. next month."

Slowing down his pace, Martin asked while walking, "Is Bale still playing the leading role?"

Mene said, "Warner Bros. have communicated with Emma, and based on previous Batman movie failures, as well as the success of Spider-Man, they insist that the sequel must star Bale."

Martin nodded, "Understood."

Switching the lead in a sequel was a taboo; forever changing Batman from Michael Keaton led to a certain decline, with fans very dissatisfied with Val Kilmer.

By the time of Batman & Robin, with George Clooney replacing him, the film turned into an outright disaster.

Warner had a tradition of mysterious moves in adapting DC movies.
