Disney Studio, “Beauty and the Beast” crew.
After more than a year of preparation, this big-budget live-action animation film had started filming.
Producer David Hoberman accompanied Martin, watching the filming of the crew.
The film was entirely shot on sets constructed in the studio, with only a few outdoor scenes, which the cinematography team went out to shoot alone, later replacing the green screen in post-production.
On set, Silsa Ronan, to the accompaniment of music, danced gracefully with the male lead, who was clad in a motion-capture suit.
Hollywood’s makeup standards were in no way inferior to the top four magic tricks in Asia.
With full makeup and costume, Silsa’s physique and appearance were elevated by at least a notch.
Just like plastic surgery, Hollywood’s makeup also set the highest standards in the entertainment industry worldwide.
During a break in filming, David Hoberman said, “By December, the crew should be able to finish all the shooting.”
Martin nodded and asked, “Has Disney scheduled the release date?”
David Hoberman responded, “It’s a family-friendly film, so of course, it’s scheduled for next year’s Thanksgiving.”
Silsa Ronan, dressed in a bright yellow gown, then walked over.
David Hoberman gave a farewell and went elsewhere.
Silsa approached Martin and whispered, “Teacher.”
Martin briefly surveyed her and said, “My dear, you really look like a princess.”
The speaker meant little, but the listener took much; Silsa, moved, replied, “The costume department has some designs; I can have them make another piece. If you like, I can wear it for you to see another day.”
She spoke in a lowered voice, “Just wearing this princess dress.”
Martin laughed, “You always come up with new tricks.”
These words reminded Silsa that she had been quietly assembling a group of close friends for several months; although it was not yet the right time, she would certainly surprise Martin when the time came.
Silsa then asked, “For your new project, did you choose Sophia for a supporting female role?”
Martin thought about the auditions a few days ago and replied, “That’s the case.”
“Sophia is very grateful you chose her,” Silsa said, “These days, her parents have been quite strict, so she hasn’t been able to thank you personally, she specifically asked me to pass on her thanks.”
Martin said, “Tell her to prepare well for the role.”
Silsa nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, “I’ve made some new friends; they all admire you very much. When the time is right, I’d like to organize a party and invite you to join us.”
Which normal man could refuse such a consideration? Martin softly said, “Go ahead and plan it.”
Silsa’s spirits lifted, “Okay! Teacher, I promise not to let you down.”
Martin thought to himself, once you enter Hollywood, being influenced by the overall environment, one’s thinking truly tends to change.
Take his previous life, for example, before the incident at Teacher Chen’s door; the general public might have various fantasies about celebrities, and even regarded the rumors that had been circulating—like those involving golf and maintenance—with skepticism.
But Teacher Chen broke the celebrity filter with his own efforts.
Following the information explosion, things like milk baths and claims of ‘my husband’ exposed the true nature of this circle.
There were no under-the-table rules; everything was out in the open.
Martin, who had ousted Harvey Weinstein, also inevitably enjoyed these perks.
Of course, he would never use forceful means.
There were too many beautiful women in Hollywood; there was always a better one waiting around the corner.
After leaving the “Beauty and the Beast” crew, Martin went to two other sets in which he had invested.
Directed by Denis Villeneuve, “Border Killer” had already finished filming and was currently in post-production, expected to be released next year.
“Whiplash,” written and directed by Damien Chazelle, was about to start filming. According to Disney Studios’ distribution plan, the film would participate in the Cannes Film Festival or the Venice Film Festival next year.
Being a niche arthouse film, it naturally followed an award-oriented distribution strategy.
The next day, Martin and Jessica represented Davis Studio in a joint project meeting with Disney Studios to discuss future partnership plans.
Besides the original distribution contract, they mainly discussed plans for upcoming collaborative projects.
The main focus was on three live-action fairy tale films: “Cinderella,” “The Jungle Book,” and “The Lion King.”
Like the mainstream operations in Hollywood, all three films would handle budget issues through financing, with Davis Studio receiving forty percent of the investment quota.
Additionally, Martin had decision-making power concerning screenplay creativity, film shooting, and final editing.
All projects cooperated with by Disney Studios and Martin, without exception, had been successful.
They believed Martin would bring more success.

In the eyes of Disney’s top executives, Martin was even more reliable than Kevin Feige, who had created “The Avenger’s”.
The last item discussed was Martin’s directed “Shark Beach”.
The film was still in post-production; with limited investment, the promotion wouldn’t be particularly large and it certainly wouldn’t be scheduled during a highly competitive popular period.
Martin starring and directing were two different concepts for the film market.
Disney Studios had chosen the end of January for the release, with large-scale promotions beginning after Christmas.
In fact, the promotion and discussion for “Shark Beach” had never stopped since filming began, mainly focusing on Blake Lively’s Twitter and Instagram accounts.
Martin’s official social media occasionally also released promotional materials such as posters, still photos, and behind-the-scenes footage.
