Chapter 971 -888 The Ultimate Goal of Fan Chasing Celebrities_2
Silsa was such a badass, the woman who had single-handedly taken Emma Watson down a notch! Hands on her hips, she said, “You bunch of bitches, are you trying to start a rebellion?”
She picked up a glass of wine from the side and took a big gulp: “Come on, tonight I’m going to take all of you down!”
“Dare to take us down?” Dakota mocked, “You? With no tools, what will you use?”
Elle burst into laughter, “It seems there’s a special store on the first floor of the building, where you can buy some rubber products.”
Silsa took out her phone, “Believe it or not, with one call, the world’s most formidable tool will appear and totally defeat… no, completely crush Sophia and Dakota!”
Sistine became unhappy, “Why not me and Elle?”
Silsa said, “Because you are still underage, I have booked rooms for you at the hotel. When the party is over, you can take the elevator down and rest at the hotel.”
As soon as Dakota heard that, he understood and said to Silsa, “You bitch, you actually deceived us, you clearly invited Martin!”
Silsa spread her hands, her face full of innocence: “When did I say I didn’t invite Martin? It’s you bitches, seeing me come back alone, didn’t even ask and immediately jumped to judge me!”
Sophia grabbed Silsa’s arm and asked, “Where is Martin?”
Silsa glanced at her watch, “He’s a director and has a lot on his plate, he’ll be a bit late getting off work, but he’ll be here in a moment.”
Elle said, “Call and check quickly; the party is missing its male lead, who’s going to satisfy the female leads!”
Silsa dialed Martin’s cellphone and asked, “Where are you? When will you come?”
Martin, getting out of his car, replied, “I’m downstairs now, I’m coming up.”
Having entered the main entrance of the Special Score Building, Martin turned into the elevator bank and took the lift.
This apartment was originally Martin’s gift to Silsa, he’d been here before. Getting out of the elevator, he reached the door and rang the doorbell.
The door opened from the inside, and as soon as Martin saw a few beautiful girls, he was dragged in by several hands like a hostage captured by terrorists.
With the door slamming shut, the night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
The girls in the apartment all set their sights and conflicts on their idol, one after another, holding up their glasses, insisting on drinking with Martin.
In this Hollywood circle, countless predecessors had played out the grand drama — the ultimate goal of female fans chasing stars!
It’s a well-recognized fact in the entertainment industry that female fans chasing stars and idolizing them are crazier than their male counterparts.
Not much wine had been drunk when Silsa Ronan chased away Elle Fanning and Sistine Stallone, leaving her, Sophia, and Dakota to launch an incredibly fierce attack on Martin.
The madness of the night passed, and the stress Martin had recently accumulated was completely vented, making him feel a lot more relaxed.
The relationship between Silsa and Martin was one with a negative distance, having crossed that line countless times.
After reaching adulthood, Dakota lacked the spirit of his younger years.
However, Martin felt something quite special about Sophia.
In his past life, Martin had joined an actors’ group where many had seen reports about the Stallone family, jokingly calling Stallone a father-in-law, after all, he had three precious daughters.
There were too many “Cao Zei” and son-in-law thieves; some were even willing to go after Tyson’s three thousand pounds, as long as Tyson wrote a will or something.
Martin also fulfilled the dreams of many group members from his past life.
Of course, he wouldn’t forget Stallone had three thousand pounds of daughters.
On the following weekend, Martin spent time with a few others in New York, whether shopping or anything else, there was no issue.
In terms of gifting, he had always been very generous these past few years.
The star and stone gifts of the past were not because Martin was stingy, but because he was too poor then.
With no money, one could only resort to some quirky means.
During these two days, news about “Joker” continually emerged in the media and internet.
After the interviews with Robert De Niro and Silsa Ronan were published and appeared on the internet, most North American movie fans expressed their support.
“My cousin’s uncle works at Warner Bros., and he has mentioned more than once that for the failures of movies like ‘Green Lantern,’ ‘Gods of Egypt,’ and ‘Jack the Giant Slayer,’ the Warner management bears the primary responsibility.”
“There’s a saying in Hollywood that emerged after Jon Berg edited ‘Jack the Giant Slayer’ like a genius. Many people now refer to the current management of Warner Bros. as ‘The Dream Team.'”
“Who would have thought DC, which once dominated, would find itself in the situation it’s in now.”
As both sides had squared off through the media, DC could obviously not sit idly by while Martin’s camp garnered public support.
Especially since “Batman v Superman” was about to be released, they’d been looking for ways to generate buzz.
This time, Warner’s co-chairman Hamada himself stepped into the fray, openly declaring in an interview, “Joker” is not part of DC’s plan and has nothing to do with the Justice League Universe. It’s merely the product of someone’s inflated ego. I don’t consider it a DC film.”
His veiled attack continued, “Some people are used to taking shortcuts, with mediocre directing skills, deliberately leveraging the names of ‘Joker’ and ‘Batman’ to attract public and media attention. Let me remind you, keep your eyes peeled and don’t be fooled by these stupid tricks.”
Martin was busy shooting and didn’t have time for a verbal battle with the DC camp.

Louise stepped forward for an interview, saying, “DC should really take a good look at the lessons learned from the poor reception of their recent films.”
Hamada fired back once more.
In doing so, he wasn’t just expressing displeasure towards people like Martin and Daniel who weren’t on good terms with him; he was also publicly severing the link between the Justice League Universe and “Joker,” aiming to prevent “Joker’s” release from affecting the Justice League movies.
Another point was that “Batman v Superman” was set for a wide release in North America in July; DC was also heating up the movie’s publicity this way.
The hype was mutual; for a while, the news about “Joker” also became a hot topic and attracted widespread attention.
Martin’s self-directed new work remained highly anticipated.
And after the huge success of “The Dark Knight,” the appeal of Batman and Joker was unquestionably substantial.
After a month and a half of hard work, the “Joker” crew was wrapping up shooting in New York.
Leaving Brooklyn Studio, they began shooting some exterior scenes.
Many outdoor scenes were filmed in Queens, which, compared to Manhattan, was a lot more convenient.
Despite Queens not being very safe, the crew hired a large team of security personnel and did not encounter some of the headaches Nolan’s crew experienced in Harbor City.
Nolan’s crew, while shooting in Harbor City, had once been extorted for protection money by gang members.
After shooting in Queens for a week, the crew moved to Manhattan to film a scene in front of New York City Hall.
The scene took place at night.
At Martin’s command, the shooting commenced.
Dozens of garbage piles were set aflame, illuminating the plaza in front of City Hall, as countless protesters began to riot, some even setting fire to several cars along the roadside.
The rioting crowd took over City Hall.
In the following shoot, the rioting masses climbed onto the rooftop of New York City Hall.
A poster of Martin’s new version of the Joker was displayed, hung from the rooftop of City Hall, dangling until it was less than two meters above the ground.
The Joker became the symbol of Gotham’s rebellion against the elite.
It was also the final scene, and Martin was surrounded by a crowd of supporters, standing in front of the main entrance of City Hall.
Assistant director Steve Downton called cut, and the crew took a brief break.
Thomas, who had just arrived in New York, found him carrying an invitation. After Martin viewed the footage just shot on the monitor, Thomas said, “Warner Bros. sent an invitation, asking you to attend the premiere of ‘Batman v Superman’ next month.”
With “Joker” wrapping up, even for the sake of publicity and generating conversation, Martin would attend.
He took a look and said, “Reply to Warner that I’ll be attending the premiere.”
Zack Snyder’s films, not to mention anything else, certainly have a unique visual style that never lacks talking points.
After two consecutive nights of shooting, “Joker” wrapped up successfully, and Martin immediately took the crew back to Los Angeles.
