Chapter 433: Cassie In Action

At Brooklyn Studios, Martin's last day of filming commenced.

The scarred Cadillac Escalade, driven by Lewis, entered the set.

Martin emerged from the rest area, covered in scars and blood, resembling someone who had just returned from a hellish killing field.

Chad, approaching Martin, carefully examined him, instructing, "The last scene, starting from when you get off the car, is shot with a long lens, try your best to finish it in one shot." Martin, in good condition, assured, "I will try my best."

Tiger Chen suggested that the current state wasn't suitable for the hero, and Martin proposed shooting the car crash scene first, opting to run laps to prepare.

Chad, confident in Martin, instructed Lewis to get him in the car for the shoot.

Martin left the set before filming began, sprinting around the studio and returning panting.

Lewis crashed the car on the clinic steps, capturing the shot.

Chad, seeing Martin return, shouted to prepare for immediate shooting. Tiger Chen, noticing Martin's exhaustion, urged him into the car.

Martin, aware of the physical demands, got into the driver's seat, and filming commenced.

This final scene showcased the male protagonist, Jonathan, scarred and physically drained after several intense battles.

As Martin exited the car, panting heavily, he portrayed a wounded and exhausted Jonathan. He fell to the ground, Nokia N97 concept phone in hand, showcasing it for an advertisement.

Martin pressed play, revealing a wedding photo shoot video with Alexandra Daddario in a wedding dress running towards him.

The sky shattered, and Martin, inspired by the video, struggled to his feet. The heroine's love became the motivation for the killer-turned-lover to survive.

Picking up his Nokia phone, Martin climbed the stairs, entered the clinic, and searched for medicine. Suddenly, Mene entered through the broken glass door.

Martin, holding a pistol, confronted Mene, who welcomed him back. The scene depicted tension and anticipation.

Chad called to stop filming, and Martin, shedding his dirty jacket, received the concept version of the N97 from Chad, marking the successful completion of the work.

Martin gestured to Bruce, who dragged out a large suitcase.

In Hollywood, confirmation personally delivered by Martin was crucial for the workers, who always seemed to lack something without it.

Halting his makeup removal, Martin initiated gift distribution mode, personally delivering the two-piece set to everyone.

Some well-informed individuals on the production team, especially those closely linked to Warner, heard rumors about the significant value of the hand-carved Joker version.

People like Mene, Chad, and Bradette, who had collaborated with Martin multiple times, were already planning to install display cases in their homes.

After distributing the gifts, Martin and Mene left the set together.

Despite the crew's filming continuing for a few more days, the scenes for the two were completed.

Martin inquired, "Going back to Los Angeles tomorrow?"

Mene shook his head, admitting, "I'm headed to Las Vegas." Explaining further, he added, "I made plans with Celine to spend a few days at Caesars Palace."

Martin, expressing admiration, said, "Remember to ask for a signed photo for me. I love the song 'My Heart Will Go On.' It's a classic passed down from generation to generation." Mene assured, "It's a small thing."

Uncle Mene, confident with older women, responded, "Even if she comes to Los Angeles, I would ack her to take photos and sign autographs with you in person, it won't be a problem."

Impressed, Martin gave a thumbs up, saying, "my man, you're awesome."

Uncle Mene's confidence, built from experience, faced the war of words: "The main reason is that Celine has been quite depressed in the past few years, and I can help her relieve that depression." Martin wished him good luck and entered his trailer.

After removing his makeup, showering, and changing, Martin got into the Escalade driven by Bruce. Instead of heading back to the hotel, they drove straight to the affluent area of Long Island.

The car reached a villa in a well-off community, where Bruce quickly found an independent villa.

Martin made a call, and the car drove into the villa's yard.

Angela Lindvall, in a bathrobe, sat by the outdoor swimming pool, while Carolina practiced yoga on a nearby mat, showcasing her flexibility in various incredible poses.

Martin stepped out of the car, and Bruce drove away.

Angela called from under the sun umbrella, "Martin, come here quickly. KK needs an assistant for more difficult movements."

Martin rushed over, saying, "I love helping you the most."

Angela, emerging from under the sun umbrella, told KK, "If you want to recover quickly, you need more help. Martin and I are here for you." Carolina, looking at the two eager individuals, asked, "Can I object?"

Angela replied, "Yes, but the objection is invalid."

Martin mentioned, "I'll leave New York tomorrow and return to Los Angeles."

"So soon?" Carolina, also straightforward, said, "Well, come on!"

KK, with years of yoga training, displayed exceptional flexibility. Martin, in full good-person mode, assisted KK with challenging yoga poses and then helped Angela with pull-ups.

Perhaps he invested so much that, when boarding the plane the next day, Martin quickly fell asleep in the first-class cabin.

The California Institute of the Arts art exhibition is currently being held in a spacious side hall of the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art.

Sponsored by multiple parties, this exhibition aims to provide a platform for exceptional students from the School of Art to showcase their works.

The exhibition hall is filled with a diverse array of artworks, ranging from sculptures, paintings, ceramics, conceptual art, to fashion and jewelry design.

Given Los Angeles's vibrant artistic community, attendees have the opportunity to discuss purchases with the organizers and artists if they find a piece they love.

Over the next few days, artworks are sold one after another. For instance, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston both purchased several horn carvings by Lily Carter from the Sculpture Department, catapulting her to some fame.

Casey Affleck, exuding a unique decadent charm, entered the exhibition hall with his hands in his pockets.

His disheveled appearance seemed to captivate several young girls in their 20s, who frequently stole glances at him.

Casually strolling through the exhibition, Casey found himself drawn to the sculpture section.

After a quick survey of several works, he came to a halt in front of a bust sculpture.

The sculpture exuded a warm, sunshine-filled aura, capturing Casey's attention. Looking at the card, he saw the artist's name: Lily Carter.

The recognition struck him, and without hesitation, Casey beckoned to the nearby staff, declaring, "I've taken a liking to this statue and would like to purchase it."

Impressed, the staff member commented, "Sir, you have excellent taste. This is a recent work by the most talented student in our sculpture department. Many believe she'll become a master in the future."

Casey nodded, expressing his desire to meet the sculptor. Pointing at the sculpture, he suggested, "Let's take a photo together."

The staff promptly agreed to initiate the process. Casey added, "Please go ahead. If there's anything I need to do, let me know."

A responsible staff member handled the necessary business procedures, notifying the organizer.

Meanwhile, some students involved in the exhibition served as support staff within the hall, while others assisted elsewhere.

Shortly after Casey wrote the check, a teacher accompanied a tall, beautiful girl to meet him. Even in Hollywood, she could easily take a prominent position.

"Hey there," Cassie adopted his most appealing decadent and ruffian demeanor.

Lily responded with a rehearsed smile, "Hello."

Having encountered numerous such disheveled characters in the Clayton community, junkies, vagabonds, and sewer rats, Lily remained composed.

A few days earlier, Martin had called, requesting someone to send over some photos.

As a sculptor, Lily possessed a keen sensitivity to facial features, enabling her to remember them vividly.

Upon Cassie's entrance, she immediately recognized Casey Affleck from one of the photos.

Choosing not to reveal this, Lily cooperated seamlessly with the routine of exhibition sales. They took a formal photo together with the sculpture.

After exchanging some light banter, Cassie, seizing the opportunity, inquired, "I'm also an enthusiast of sculpture. I often encounter challenges in this field. Mind if I seek your advice?" Lily gracefully reached into the pocket of her short windbreaker, delicately retrieving the carving knife, and replied, "Sure."
