Before 9 AM, the radiant sunshine had already spread across Santa Monica Pier. As the temperature soared, a mobile vendor selling fizzy soft drinks arrived, with bottles and cans of Coca-Cola displayed in a glass freezer, attracting nearby wandering tourists and clowns.
One after another, throngs of journalists armed with cameras and camcorders began to show up in the old pier area.
Since the media had already published that Martin was shooting a Cartier men's watch advertisement here, many entertainment reporters and paparazzi rushed over.
The pier was usually a tourist area and had some visitors on ordinary days; today, with the arrival of both an advertising crew and a large group of fans, a significant number of mobile vendors were drawn to the scene.
The director of the advertising crew, Harkins, put down his viewfinder and said, "Good weather, conducive to filming."
