Chapter 912: Chapter 859: Kill Every Three Steps, Everyone Falls in Ten Steps
Los Angeles, Hollywood, Chief Stone Theater.
The poster occupying the entire wall of the theater featured Martin, coldly holding a gun with one hand, staring down at the world.
Beneath the poster was already a sea of black and red.
The black came from the fans of the “John Wick” series; by now, the concept of the suit-wearing gangster had firmly taken root in people’s hearts. Those who came to the premiere were all dressed in black suits and white shirts.
The red was the members of the Cola Cult. This pan-faith organization had tens of millions of followers across the US, and whenever Sect Leader Martin had a new release, they were the biggest group of supporters.
Even if only one-fifth of them watched the film, it would bring in nearly a hundred million US dollars to the North American box office.
Martin’s success was like sweeping all the major Oscar categories, not only on the film front.
The male members of the cast, without exception, all wore black suits as they walked the red carpet.
Martin, in particular, took to the carpet in full Jonathan’s guise, exuding utter coolness.
“Eternal Cola Cult, eternal Cola War God!”
After finishing his coke, Martin arrived at the theater entrance, met up with Mene, and after a short wait, director Chad came from behind, and the three of them entered the media area together.
In front, Blake Lively was being interviewed. Besides talking about “John Wick: Chapter 3,” she also mentioned the new film she was working on with Martin, praising it as a thriller that would scare the wits out of everyone.
When Martin, Mene, and Chad approached, the host immediately turned to their side.
“So I hear after this one, you’re planning to expand the ‘John Wick’ universe?” the host asked, all questions pre-communicated, “When did these ideas first come up?”
Martin pushed Chad forward, “Our director had plans for this quite early on.”
Chad, smiling, said, “The first one was a huge success, and it was a wonderful surprise to us.”
His words, too, were prepared in advance; “John Wick: Chapter 3” was already a surefire hit, and now the most urgent task was to raise the profile of the upcoming “The Continental New York”: “After we finished the first one, Martin, Mene, Marcus, and Chen Hu got together to discuss how far the film’s universe could be expanded. Apart from Jonathan, the male lead, could we delve into other character’s stories?”
The host asked, “Did you decide right then to make a film centering around Winston?”
“We hadn’t at that time.” Chad then pulled Mene over, “At that point, we hadn’t really realized that the biggest push comes from the audience. The character Winston, played by Mene, was extremely popular, and the audience’s passion for this series, their love for the character of Winston, gave us the possibility to continue filming.”
The host then asked Mene, “I understand you’re Martin’s most loyal fan?”
“That’s right, I’ve known Martin for ten years, and we were friends from the start, and on top of that, I’m his first fan.” Mene’s words felt sincere, “Because of Martin, I joined the series. I dreamed of challenging myself physically in new ways, like Martin did, and wanted to recreate everything he did.”
He was all about Martin, “Working with Martin for so many years, he’s done more than ninety-five percent of the action scenes himself. In an age where computer CG is everywhere and actors only need to go through the motions, the computer can do the rest, but Martin insists on doing those stunts himself. He has made people look at action movies in a completely new way.”
The host continued, “Are you ready for the new movie?”
“Yes, I’ve been preparing in various ways for years,” Mene admitted candidly, “To portray this character well is a huge challenge. I have to do a lot of action training and can’t separate the drama from the action scenes. It’s the most difficult and strict preparation work for any role I’ve had. I hope I can reach half of Martin’s level.”
Having finished their interviews, the three joined the rest of the main creative team for a photo in front of the sponsor’s backdrop.
Clara automatically came over, taking hold of Martin’s left arm.
Blake Lively cursed under her breath and clung to Martin’s right side.
Nobody was surprised or even taken aback, as the main creators and media reporters present were all very aware of the Hollywood ecosystem.
After taking photos, the group entered the theater together.
Clara stayed by Martin’s side, asking while they walked, “Will you come to my place tonight?”
Martin thought for a bit, “You go to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, same room as before.”
Seeing Clara nod, he then asked, “Did you finish your part in ‘Avengers 2’?”
“It’s done,” Clara said briefly, “Dr. Zhao doesn’t have much screening time, but in the new season of ‘Agents of SHIELD,’ she’ll be an important character. Marvel Studios and Disney have both told me to keep playing her.”
Martin said, “I’ve spoken to Disney Studios, just focus on your work, and don’t get involved in the messy stuff in the crew.”
There was a growing rift between Marvel, Disney, and the “Avengers” series director Joss Whedon, with both sides embroiled in major financial disputes that could escalate at any moment.

Clara’s agent was Natasha, who had also warned her, and she quickly responded, “Understood.”
Blake Lively, who had been talking with her agent behind, now rushed forward, took hold of Martin’s arm, and said, “Let’s talk in private.”
