America Tycoon: The Wolf of Showbiz-Chapter 616 - 609: Let Go of My Male God

Having been introduced by Chad and having had a brief chat with Alec, Martin roughly understood the Baldwin family situation.

All three Baldwin brothers were moderately famous supporting actors in Hollywood.

The eldest was Alec, the second was William, and the youngest, Stephen, was Hailey’s father.

"In the film, you play the role of an old friend of mine," Martin said.

Having just met and with no other topics at hand, Martin brought up the roles they would play: "You’ll be providing me with a lot of help."

Alec, a traditional actor, commented, "I’ve carefully read the script, and to get a feel for my character, I made a special trip to Rome last week."

Chad interjected, "Too bad your character is all interior scenes, and we’ll be filming in Brooklyn."

Alec went on to say, "That’s exactly why I went to Rome, to seek the feeling of a special Roman hotel owner."

Martin said, "I’m really looking forward to working with you."

Alec responded with a smile, "Me too."

After a quick chat, Martin prepared to take his leave.

Hailey Baldwin, who had been ignored at the far end of the table, suddenly spoke up, "Martin, could I take a photo with you?"

Martin replied, "Sure."

Hailey tentatively asked, "Can I post the photo on Twitter?" She bragged like a schoolgirl, "My classmates all know I’ve joined your film crew."

Martin nodded, "No problem."

Bruce took Hailey’s iPhone.

Hailey ran over to Martin’s side, looped her arm in his, and smiled brighter than the sun.

Martin looked down at Hailey, noting that although she hadn’t fully matured yet, she vaguely resembled the grown-up version of herself.

In his previous life, he often saw her face online and vaguely remembered that at the time, she was not called Hailey Baldwin but Hailey Bieber.

It seemed she was Ding Ritian’s wife.

Hailey flashed Martin a smile and said, "My sisters and I are going to be crazy fans of yours."

Martin encouraged her with a few words, "You’ll be a successful actress too."

"I will be!" Hailey declared with a pumped fist, asserting, "I’m definitely going to be a star."

Bruce prompted them to get ready, and after they posed, he snapped three pictures in a row and handed the phone back to Hailey.

Perhaps because she came from a family of actors and knew some taboos, Hailey tweeted the photo in front of Martin, then tagged Martin Davis.

Martin’s official Twitter was usually maintained by Jessica, and he rarely looked at it.

At that moment, he also took out his phone, logged onto Twitter, and followed Hailey.

Pocketing his phone, Martin shook hands with Alec and left the conference room.

Hailey’s phone started chiming incessantly.

The comments underneath her tweet were all messages.

"Oh my God, I’m so jealous, you actually got a photo with Martin!"

"My idol, and you’ve got your arm around him!"

"Let go of Martin, it’s my turn!"

The comments from classmates on Twitter gave Hailey an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as she declared, "All of you back off, Martin is mine now."

Alec came over to call his niece, "Let’s go."

......

Martin took the elevator downstairs, and upon reaching the lobby, Bruce received a phone call from overseas.

After talking for a bit, Bruce covered the phone and said, "It’s Alexandrovich on the line."

Martin took the phone and said, "This is Martin Davis."

An accented English voice came from the other side, "Hello, Martin, this is Alexandrovich."

He went straight to the point, "I have returned to Kiev from Paris, discussed the project with my partner, who is also the director and screenwriter Marius, and Marius agrees to rewrite the script according to your ideas. We are willing to shoot this project in English."

This outcome was not surprising to Martin, the lure of America coupled with Hollywood was enormous for Ukrainian professionals.

Alexandrovich continued, "Now, Marius and I have agreed, can we come to America to discuss the script adaptation with you?"

Martin pondered briefly before replying, "In that case, come directly to New York. I’m currently shooting a new movie in New York. Call this number when you arrive."

Alexandrovich on the other end replied, "We will prepare immediately and arrive in New York in no more than a week."

Most of Martin’s scenes would be shot in New York, with only a few shots needing to be taken in Rome. He promptly said, "That sounds fine."

After hanging up the phone, Alexandrovich pumped his fists enthusiastically, shouting to Marius, "We’re going to America, we’re going to Hollywood, mate, are you ready to grab that Oscar?"

Marius was equally excited, calling out, "Are you ready to be the leading actor?"

"I’m going to be the leading actor!" Alexandrovich was overjoyed, "And you’re going to be the best director!"

The two hugged and laughed heartily.

America, that was their beacon.

......

After lunch, Martin went to his apartment in the Upper East Side. It had been a while since he last visited, and he almost walked onto the wrong floor.

Although Lily hadn’t lived there since coming to New York, she had specially cleaned the place, leaving the apartment spotless and tidy.

Martin had bought this apartment at a bargain from Brad Pitt, and with the American economy improving over the last two years, the real estate market was recovering; the apartment’s value had tripled since the purchase.

If you think about it that way, Brad Pitt could also be considered a good guy.

Martin remembered that Pitt, for his active accusations against Harvey Weinstein, was given a reduced sentence and was estimated to be released by the end of the year.

Considering that Brad Pitt might face financial difficulties after paying fines and compensation, Martin felt he should lend a hand.

He planned to talk to his old neighbor Jenna Jones when he got back to Los Angeles and recommend a very capable Sacred Valley actor to her.

Undoubtedly, a place full of artistic atmosphere like Sacred Valley would welcome Brad Pitt.

Martin checked the wine cabinet and the kitchen before departing with Bruce for a major shopping trip to prepare for the evening’s party.

Alcohol and various fruit juice drinks were of course indispensable.

Martin also called Taylor to prepare changes of clothes for them in advance.

Taylor told Martin directly that there was no need to go through the trouble; they had already prepared spare clothes.

After having all the various items he bought delivered, Martin specially took a nap, as he might have to stay up very late tonight and needed to ensure his energy and strength were sufficiently replenished.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Martin personally drove the car and arrived punctually below Taylor’s apartment building.

After waiting for a few minutes, four women, dragging suitcases, came out from the entrance and climbed into the car one after another.

Taylor got into the passenger seat, buckled her seatbelt, and shouted loudly, "Let’s go, let’s go, our party has begun!"

Martin drove away and said, "Ladies, you’re about to embark on a fantastic journey."

Carly Kloss tossed her blonde hair back and said nonchalantly, "Taylor has been bragging to us these past few days about how wonderful it is to be with you, about how good you are at doing things and doing people…"

Martin glanced at Taylor and thought, what are these girls discussing in private? Are they that audacious?

Carly continued, "Martin, you won’t let us little fans down, right?"

Before Martin could answer, Cara Delevingne leaned over from the driver’s side and said to Martin, "I’m your die-hard fan, aiming for the ultimate fan achievement!"

Suddenly, Martin thought of Tony.

"Do you know what the highest achievement for a die-hard fan is?" Cara asked and answered herself, "It’s to hook up with their idol!"

With the girls being so bold and open, Martin wasn’t to be outdone, "I assure you, you will never forget this party for the rest of your lives."

Selena stretched a hand over and said, "It’s not that we don’t believe in you, but it’s four against one, you know!"

Martin laughed heartily, "I’m not afraid even if it were twice as many."

He looked at Taylor, "Tonight’s a great opportunity, you should compose a new song, one dedicated to our party."

Taylor, blinking her eyes, said, "I don’t have any inspiration right now, I need you to inject some into me."

"Glad to oblige," Martin said as he turned the steering wheel. The car quickly arrived near the apartment building where he drove directly into the underground parking lot.

He checked with Bruce, who was following behind, to make sure no paparazzi or reporters had followed, before inviting the four to get out of the car.

Taylor and the others each took their suitcases and followed Martin into the elevator and into his apartment.

"Wow, you can overlook the whole Central Park from here!" Selena exclaimed, dropping her suitcase and walking to the living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows. She pointed at the theatre in the distance, barely visible, and said, "That’s where we really taught Justin Bieber a lesson last night!"

Martin reminded them, "Ladies, you haven’t properly thanked me yet."

Carly Kloss opened her suitcase, took out a small cardboard box, and threw it to Martin, "For you!"

Martin caught it and said, "Carly, these numbers are a bit small."

Cara Delevingne, the girl eager to achieve the highest fan achievement, asked in surprise, "Really?"

Martin responded, "I’m the least fond of bluffing."

Suddenly struck by inspiration, Taylor hurriedly pulled out a pen and notebook, "I just had a creative spark, but I didn’t catch it. Carly, Cara, and Selena, hurry up, I need stimulation to get inspiration!"

Cara Delevingne crouched and shuffled over.

Selena Gomez leaped over from the side.

Carly Kloss attacked from behind.

For a moment, Martin found himself besieged.

When the battle truly began, Taylor’s visual and auditory senses were stimulated, and inspiration finally burst forth again as she listened to Carly’s exclamations alternating between highs and lows, the melody already forming in her mind.

But that was not enough.

Taylor noted down the melody, her inspiration faded, and she decided to take the field herself.

It wasn’t long before Taylor’s melodious voice began to float through the air.

When things quieted down, the five were so drained that Martin went aside to call a nearby restaurant and have dinner delivered.

Touching her throat, Selena said, "Taylor was right; it really can soothe the throat."

Cara Delevingne nodded repeatedly.

Carly Kloss exclaimed, "I don’t know about singing, I didn’t feel it."

She spread her arms, ecstatic, "Taylor, it’s really as amazing as you said, the experience was fantastic!"

As dinner arrived, the four girls giggled and teased along with Martin.
