Chapter 211: Tyler Perry

How should one respond when faced with individuals who disregard martial moral ethics? Martin answered this question through his actions on set - by fighting back fiercely!

He retaliated forcefully.

Director Leterrier shouted "stop."

However, the performances of the male and female protagonists continued uninterrupted.

In professional terms, the male and female leads displayed exceptional professionalism and dedication, fully immersed in the emotions of their respective characters, unable to break free.

Martin and Jolie were entirely absorbed in their roles, blurring the lines between reality and acting.

Ignoring the dozens of onlookers on set, they continued their passionate on-screen kiss.

Julie had one leg straddling Martin's waist, and as all the scenes for the day had already been filmed, no one was in a hurry to interrupt them.

In the rest area, Morgan Freeman had initially intended to take a break but, upon witnessing this shameless display, decided to leave with his granddaughter Adina.

Jolie broke away from Martin, inquiring, "Teacher, what should we do next? You need to teach me."

Martin responded cryptically, "Kelly and Louise are still waiting for me at the hotel."

This statement ignited something within Jolie, setting her aflame with desire and determination.

She wished to stage a student's counterattack against Martin right then and there, making him understand the consequences of his actions.

Martin, having dealt with numerous cunning individuals in his previous life, comprehended Jolie's psychology.

Jolie grabbed Martin and pulled him outside.

Martin neither accepted nor refused, allowing Jolie to lead him out of the studio.

Watching from the studio entrance, Chris Pratt contemplated the possibility of this incident spreading and causing a media frenzy.

He realized he had been mistaken. In the entertainment industry, love was not just a matter of the heart; it was a career ladder.

Mene emerged from the studio and said to Bruce, "The boss has real charm. Jolie didn't need to exert much effort, and he was putty in her hands."

Bruce, who knew more about the situation, explained, "Martin didn't do much physically, but he gauged Jolie's psychology perfectly."

Mene, with a somber expression, lamented, "Why don't I have that ability?"

Bruce succinctly summarized, "Your skills are all in your sweet talk."

Mene pondered this and realized that it was indeed true; everyone had their own unique abilities.

After a while, the trailer stopped shaking.

Inside the car, Martin showered, changed clothes, and settled into a comfortable chair, reluctant to move.

Jolie, wearing only a white shirt, perched on another sofa, scrolling through photos on her phone. She examined pictures of herself with Louise before turning her gaze towards Martin. She admired his handsome, strong appearance.

The thrill of pursuing a friend's man was intoxicating, and Jolie felt like she was soaring.

Julie rose, wearing only the white shirt, and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

Martin noticed the whiskey cabinet in the trailer and requested, "A glass of golden whiskey."

Julie poured two glasses and clinked hers with Martin's. After taking a sip, she inquired, "How do my skills compare to theirs?"

Martin, understanding the nature of this female version of a cunning thief, decided to speak candidly for the sake of future enjoyment, "You're not as skilled in certain areas, and your technique isn't as refined."

Unconvinced, Jolie retorted, "That can't be true!"

Pointing to himself, Martin explained, "The real expert is sitting right here."

Jolie emptied her glass in a single gulp, vowing to use every means possible to impress Martin next time.

Then, she asked the crucial question, "You won't leave them because of me, will you?"

Martin was taken aback, "I haven't thought about that yet."

Jolie was contemplating more than him, "Both of them, especially Louise, are crucial to your career. For now, don't leave them."

Today had been immensely enjoyable for Jolie. She believed that in addition to Martin's abilities and skills, the psychological element played a significant role. She couldn't afford to let that factor disappear.

After a moment of hesitation, Jolie continued, "I also have some matters to deal with. Once I resolve them, the rest won't matter."

Martin, the seasoned individual he was, knew precisely what Jolie meant. He also recognized that her condition was precisely what he needed. Thus, he readily agreed, "It's not a problem for me; you're the priority."

The alignment of their interests couldn't have been more perfect.

The more Jolie contemplated it, the more convinced she became that Teacher Martin's lessons had opened up a path she had never explored before. With everything proceeding smoothly, she planned to stage another affair with Brad Pitt next month, leveraging the publicity surrounding "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and riding the wave of Martin's popularity when "Wanted" was released. If either film succeeded, it could pull her out of the slump of three consecutive box office failures, potentially transforming her into a box office sensation.

You can also utilize these two fiery characters to craft a perfect persona that cherishes family and children. As she contemplated this, she realized that as long as these two schemes proceeded somewhat smoothly, she would amass a significant fortune!

Martin appeared to still be basking in the afterglow, reclining on the sofa chair with his eyes closed, savoring the relaxation.

Jolie admired her friend's boyfriend's handsome visage, and an idea suddenly struck her – an idea that could elevate her popularity even further.

The first wave of the plan remained the same: encourage Pitt to divorce Aniston. But the second wave proposed that Martin should pursue Aniston, creating a love triangle between himself, Martin, and Aniston, thereby igniting public interest!

Teacher Martin's meticulous instruction had finally led the students into a true transformation.

The more Jolie pondered, the more she believed this was an excellent idea.

Martin seemed to be dozing off, showing no interest, as innocent as a white lotus.

Jolie decided to broach the subject with Martin and said, "There's something I'd like to discuss regarding a question I asked you some time ago..."

She provided a rough account of what had transpired during the filming of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and then swore earnestly, "Since I decided to collaborate with you on the 'Wanted' project, I haven't had any contact with Brad Pitt, and I won't have any in the future. I swear on my mother and my son's name!" Martin, fearing that Jolie might change her mind, inquired deliberately, "So, you asked me those questions to generate publicity for this matter?"

Jolie nodded, "I can't afford to fail again."

Martin encouraged her, "I wholeheartedly support you. If you need assistance, don't hesitate to ask. I can mobilize some resources here."

Julie wasn't entirely convinced of Martin's sincerity, but just as Martin wanted to harness the publicity surrounding Julie, she also aimed to leverage Martin's tangible and intangible resources.

Essentially, the two were using each other.

Jolie added, "In truth, I've undertaken significant public opinion preparation."

Martin inquired, "Is it about you and the children, and the reports concerning Brad Pitt's preference for kids while Aniston does not?"

Jolie confirmed, "Exactly." She smiled helplessly, "If it weren't for you and the incident at Burbank Middle School, this would've been hyped much earlier."

These two cunning individuals conspired, agreeing to focus their efforts on harming Pitt and Aniston as much as possible, while also ensuring the success of the movie they starred in.

Regarding Martin's thoughts on Aniston, Jolie refrained from saying anything at the moment, as she wasn't certain of persuading Martin.

Martin exited Julie's trailer and left Gray Film and Television Center ahead of everyone else.

Regardless of who inquired, his response remained consistent: he was discussing character and plot details with Jolie.

As long as the parties involved didn't admit to it, Hollywood had never been one to unveil secrets.

Romantic entanglements on film sets were commonplace in Hollywood. Still, if the individuals involved denied it, it remained mere speculation.

Martin returned to the hotel, where he joined Bruce and Mene for a meeting.

The three of them analyzed the situation in depth.

At half-past eight, Kelly returned to the hotel room with Louise, who had been a guest at her home.

Martin addressed the matter with particular emphasis, stating, "Tyler Perry is highly likely to have connections with the Methodist Church."

Kelly affirmed, "There's no need to speculate. Perry Studio was initially funded by investments from the Methodist Church. The majority of the funding for Tyler's 'Diary of a Mad Woman' came from the Methodist Church and its affiliated forces. It's a situation similar to mine."

Louise inquired, "Are those films he made entirely different from our target audience, with no competition, all designed as retaliation for the Pink bottle incident you initiated?"

Kelly, a prominent figure among Atlanta liberals with her own news outlets, clarified, "Perry Studio wishes to establish a film and television production base, and the primary competitor is me."
