Martin Jackson

Martin Jackson is a minor character in the novel "最佳影星."

Volume 1 (1999)
Martin Jackson was the director to Britney Spears' new MV - Sometimes. He auditioned both Michael Sheehan and Matthew Horner for the role of the MV's male lead, the latter of whom he invited to his hotel room to "discuss the role." Matthew had an idea what the director was referring to but he still went, hoping that he had misunderstood, unaware that Michael Sheehan had eavesdropped on the call due to his old phone leaking sound.

At the hotel, after hearing a knock, Martin Jackson opened the door and invited Matthew inside before asking him to undress. Matthew hesitated for a while before steeling his resolve and walking out of the room. As he walked out to the lobby, he noticed Michael Sheehan through the periphery of his vision and realized that he had gone upstairs, possibly to Martin Jackson's room. After an hour, Sheehan returned, walking awkwardly. Matthew understood that he had sold his body to the director to get the role.

A week later, during the final audition, Martin Jackson dismissed the first candidate, James Brandt, before calling the second candidate, Matthew Horner. He attempted to dismiss him after a few minutes, like he did to Brandt but, suddenly, Britney Spears showed interest in Matthew and asked him to perform more. After sending him off, Martin Jackson attempted to point out his flaws but Britney stated that she had decided upon Matthew. When she remained adamant on her decision, he gave up as he knew that the record company would fire him before upsetting Britney as they wanted her to sign an extended contract. He called the final candidate, Michael Sheehan, and dismissed him after a few minutes.

Michael Sheehan was confused but his confusion turned into shock and disbelief when Helen Hermann, his agent, appeared and took Matthew off to sign the contract with the crew. Enraged, he rushed to find Martin Jackson and struck him on the shoulder with an iron pipe. Fortunately, Jackson barricaded himself inside a room until the police appeared and arrested Michael Sheehan. Still, due to being injured, Martin Jackson was unable to participate in the shooting and was replaced with Zack Snyder.
