Chapter 661: Korean Actresses!

In the newly decorated studio at Disney Studios, David Fincher handed Martin a fresh script, remarking, "We've tweaked the plot of the ad a bit, so take a look and get acquainted."

While Martin was on a promotional tour in Europe, he received an email from Samsung regarding the revised script, which incorporated David Fincher's input.

Known for his expertise in commercial filmmaking, David Fincher seamlessly navigated the nuances of shooting commercials.

With Martin's limited knowledge in this realm, he simply followed the directives and proceeded with the filming.

Glancing out of the studio, David Fincher remarked, "Samsung has brought in a bunch of actresses to serve as the backdrop for the commercial."

Already aware of this, Martin suggested, "Once we wrap up the commercial, let's throw a party. Will you join, David?"

David Fincher dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand, stating, "You know I'm not into those."

As the two conversed, a mixed-race Asian individual entered the studio, approaching Martin and David Fincher.

Introducing him, David Fincher said, "Meet Mark Lewison, President of Samsung Mobile Phone North America."

Taking the initiative, Mark stepped forward and shook hands with Martin, expressing, "I missed out on meeting you becouse of Samsung's grand event in Canada when you signed the contract. I appreciate your patience, Mr. Davis."

Smiling, Martin responded, "You're too kind."

After some pleasantries, the Korean actresses arrived, with Mark mentioning, "Some are spokespersons for other Samsung products, while others are potential signings. This time, Mr. Davis, you're being highlighted amidst a star-studded lineup."

Martin recognized some familiar faces among them and suggested, "Let me introduce you all before we start filming."

With introductions made, Martin gathered the four English-speaking actresses – Jun Ji-hyun, Song Hye-kyo, Son Ye-jin, and Han Ga-in – to rehearse the scene.

Martin's professionalism shone through as he patiently addressed their queries and guided them through the rehearsal.

While Martin was getting his makeup done, the Korean actresses gathered and shared their impressions.

Son Ye-jin expressed her surprise, "He's not at all what I expected. I thought he'd be arrogant like some Americans I've encountered before."

Han Ga-in chimed in, "Yeah, especially those famous and wealthy ones who always act superior to us Koreans."

Song Hye Kyo chimed in, "I've heard Lee Byung-hun talk about Martin before. He's got quite the reputation in Hollywood, dedicated to his craft."

Jun Ji-hyun shrugged, "Regardless of who he is, we're all here for the same job."

"But he's different," Lin Yuner of the girl group interjected. "He's gentle when needed, brave when it counts. There's something special about being around him."

Kim Taeyeon added, "The nine of us have been around the block; we know what we're talking about."

All present were seasoned female stars from South Korea, well-acquainted with the cutthroat entertainment industry. They knew their roles and were prepared.

As filming commenced, Martin often found himself posing amidst a backdrop of women, repeating shots for the perfect image.

The first two days focused on dynamic shots, shifting to stills for the final day.

Martin's dedication matched, if not surpassed, that of the Korean actresses.

David Fincher's directorial prowess made the shoot seamless, drawing admiration from the women on set.

During lunch, Kim Soo-hyun approached David Fincher, seeking conversation, only to realize he wasn't one for scandal.

Son Ye-jin warned her against distractions, emphasizing the transient nature of Hollywood dreams.

Kim Soo-hyun persisted, citing the allure of Hollywood and potential agency contracts.

Son Ye-jin remained silent, remembering the harsh realities of the industry.

Jun Ji-hyun interjected with news of Hollywood agencies eyeing the Korean market, mentioning Martin's affiliation with WMA.

As the afternoon shoot commenced, Martin noticed the Korean actresses' heightened enthusiasm, some even brushing past him with intent.

Luckily, Martin maintained professionalism and focus on set.

As the work wrapped up, Martin extended a warm invitation to all involved in the shoot, suggesting a gathering at the cafeteria on South Botswana Street.

Everyone eagerly accepted the invitation.

Prioritizing loyalty, Martin made a personal call to both Leonardo and Nicholson before removing his makeup.

Leonardo's response was swift, "Wait up!"

Nicholson wasted no time, hopping into his stretch Lincoln and zooming over to Burbank.

Except for David Fincher, who opted out, the entire advertising crew convened at the cafeteria.

Amidst the buzz, Martin reserved the largest table.

The Korean actresses, down-to-earth and practical, joined him, their laughter filling the room.

Upon Leonardo and Nicholson's entrance, they found Martin surrounded by a bevy of Asian beauties, charming them with his wit and humor.

Whispering to his companion, Leonardo quipped, "Seems like he wants the spotlight all to himself, Jack."

Nicholson adjusted his shades, striding over with effortless coolness.

Despite his aura, the girls paid more attention to Leonardo, leaving Nicholson somewhat sidelined.

Martin rose to introduce the Hollywood legends with reverence, earning admiration from the actresses.

"Wow, this is Jack Nicholson!" exclaimed Lin Yoona, her excitement palpable.

Martin facilitated the seating arrangements, deferring to the actresses' choices.

Lin Yuner eagerly pulled Leonardo to her side, while Nicholson found himself a popular choice as well.

Although known as the Bastard Trio, they respected boundaries and never imposed themselves on others.

The meal concluded on a high note, with plans for drinks suggested by Jun Ji-hyun and Song Hye-kyo.

Nicholson cautioned against excessive revelry, mindful of the next day's shoot.

Leonardo, ever the gracious host, extended an invitation for a carnival party after the shoot.

True to his word, Leonardo spared no expense, hosting a lavish affair.

Son Ye-jin inquired if Martin would attend.

Martin nodded, affirming their close bond, with Nicholson and him always standing by Leonardo's side.

Excitement rippled through the group as they pledged to attend Leonardo's party.

Martin ensured everyone safely returned to their hotels, with Nicholson's extended Lincoln ferrying them away.

Reflecting on Hollywood's standards, the trio acknowledged the prevalence of cosmetic enhancements.

Nicholson lauded the Korean for their foresight.

Martin emphasized the importance of prior communication, especially regarding medical examinations and security measures.

Leonardo assured his companions, "I'll handle the communication. Anyone unwilling to comply won't be part of it."
