American fame and fortune

The door of the audition room opened and someone shouted, "Martin Davis."

Martin took out his mobile phone and handed it to Bruce, strode into the audition room, greeted director Ken Capis and casting director Heike warmly, and glanced quickly from the audition room.

This audition team is unprofessional, and no one plays games!

Capiz did not let him audition for the time being, but instead asked: "Do you know English football?"

When he was in Brisbane, Zomi talked about football with Martin a lot, and talked about a lot of related things, which gave Martin some confidence: "I watch a lot of La Liga, and I watch the Premier League occasionally. I am Ronaldi. Fans of Neo, although he did not lead Barcelona to the La Liga title, but he is a real football wizard."

Capiz nodded, and said, "There is a beautiful woman on the opposite side who is tempting you. You can perform a performance, which is both interesting and not obvious."

Martin understood it as soon as he heard it. Isn't this letting him act in his true colors?

A few minutes later, he emerged from the audition room.

Thomas came up and asked, "How is it?"

"It feels okay," Martin said.

Thomas led the way: "Let's go first, we will have news tomorrow."

Bruce returned the phone to Martin: "There is a text message alert."

Near the front desk, Martin turned on his phone and glanced at the text message. The text message came from FedEx, informing him that the express mail had been picked up and was about to be sent to Atlanta.

He asked Lao Bu: "Did you ship to Atlanta?"

Bruce wondered: "No, I never contact Atlanta."

Martin guessed who it was, and stepped aside to call Louise: "Lost, what did you send to Atlanta in my name?"

Louise laughed crisply: "Serious things, a set of carving tools, as a gift in return. The things are in the hands of Kelly and me. If you don't return the gift, we must always be polite."

Martin didn't believe the swinger: "Really? Nothing else?"

Louise said, "You can ask Kelly."

Martin hung up the phone without asking any more questions, and told Bruce and Thomas to leave.

He went to the post-production room of "House of Wax Museum of Horror" and chatted with Zomi. The post-production of "House of Wax Museum of Horror" has reached the final stage, and it will officially land in North American theaters in October.

Warner Bros. has already kicked off the campaign, and has negotiated pre-roll spots with titles like "Resident Evil 2," "The Exorcist" and "Alien vs. Predator."

In the evening, Martin made an appointment with Zomi, Craven, and Ajia, and found a barbecue restaurant for dinner to connect with each other.

Thomas followed suit, watching Martin go both ways, hooking shoulders with big guys like Craven, eating, drinking and having fun together, discussing how to play with women like an old pervert.

He was born to be in this circle.

The next morning, Martin was in the studio working out routines with the newly recruited stand-in when Thomas called and told him he had landed the football coach role.

He didn't expend energy on this role, but the strong recommendation of a big brokerage company is a guarantee for getting the role.

Thomas will go to the crew to discuss salary and shooting schedule, and Martin just needs to wait for the signing.

During the training break, Martin called Robert again: "Man, I got the role, thank you, I won't talk about it, when will you come to Los Angeles to develop?"

Over there, Robert said: "For the time being, I'll be in Atlanta. The head of the team is too busy." He worked out the model and confidence: "Call me when you need it."

Martin said, "I won't be polite to you."

After hanging up the phone, he asked Bruce: "Old Bu, what is the best gift for Robert?"

Bruce pondered: "Robert, he will definitely not accept money from you. I imagine that he has always envied Jerome for driving a Cadillac."

Martin said: "Wait until the two films are finished."

At this moment, someone shouted at the door of the studio: "Martin, a man named Mene came to you and said he was your friend."

Martin waved: "Let him come over."

Menet came in from the outside with his bag on his back. From a distance, Martin noticed that his lips were thick and pouty, like two fat sausages hanging on them.

Bruce was surprised: "Been beaten?"

Mene took a folding stool and sat at the small round table, his voice changed: "The female casting director of "Land of the Dead" washed it with something, I sweetened her, and I ended up Lip allergies, that's what happened."

Martin asked, "Didn't go to the doctor?"

Mene opened his mouth and closed his mouth with a strange expression: "I went to see a private doctor, the business card Antonio gave... I forgot what he said, the doctor nicknamed Hyena is good at anorectal."

He added: "The doctor said there is nothing wrong with it, it will be fine in a few days."

Bruce patted Menet on the shoulder: "Man, it's not easy for you."

"It's much better than before." Mene was optimistic by nature, and he was having fun in bitterness: "I can find a way to give, and I can get rewards for giving, which is better than most actors in Los Angeles. I got that special zombie role."

Martin didn't say much: "I wish you good luck and get a more important role as soon as possible."

Menel smiled cheerfully: "I'm content with a steady income of more than a hundred thousand dollars a year." He patted his backpack and said, "Director Romero asked the actors to enter the group for special training as soon as possible. I'm here today to say goodbye to you all. Out of town."

Martin said: "I'm going to Mexico soon. If you have something to call Lao Bu, I guess it will be difficult to get through."

"What can happen." Mene has his own way of coping: "Don't forget, I have a trick."

Martin glanced at his black face that was about to be washed white. As far as Hollywood is concerned, Mene does have nuclear weapons.

West Hollywood, an ordinary boxing gym.

Mike Vogel was wearing gloves and hitting the training dummy thumping.

He accumulated strength with his back fist, and punched the dummy hard on the head, causing the dummy to shake violently.

Manager Pinto came in from the outside and asked, "Take a break?"

Vogel turned around and nodded, raised his fists towards the coach, and waited for the coach to take off his gloves and came to Pinto.

"Please give us some personal space." Pinto waited for the coach to leave, and said: "As expected, the company gave priority to recommending Martin Davis for the role of Eric."

Vogel understood that the other party won the role and said, "I am more qualified than him, just because of a best young actor award?"

Pinto shook his head: "No, I got the exact news that Martin got Craven alone, so he got the award, can you?"

Vogel knew he couldn't, but his strong character didn't allow him to say such words. He raised his fist and shook it: "I can beat all the horrible monsters created by Craven into mud."

Pinto pressed his fist down: "There is also good news, you got the role of Costes, the role is not much less than Eric, but you have to dye your hair dark."

Vogel said: "Go and talk about the salary."

Pinto came to the boxing ring and sat down, pointed to the side, waited for Vogel to sit down, and said, "Have you considered changing your image and acting?"

Vogel didn't understand: "Why?"

Pinto explained: "Among the fifth- and sixth-tier customers in the 20- to 25-year-old age group, you and Adrian had the highest priority. Now the company's resources at this level are prioritized towards Martin Davis."

He pointed to Vogel's hair color, face and body: "Your temperament, age and style line are relatively close. The suitable role must be chosen by Martin Davis first. If you don't take the initiative to change, you can only choose him. Pick the rest."

Vogel is not new to the industry, and he knows that this circle is so cruel, but he is used to everything now, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Give me some time, I will think about it carefully."

Pinto persuaded: "You haven't really become famous yet. It's relatively easy to transition at this time. Your role in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is similar to Martin in "House of Wax". Martin now has Wes Cray. If you don’t make any changes to the leading actor in Wen’s new film, you will live in Martin’s shadow for a long time with the same type of characters.”

"I don't have any other resources?" Vogel asked.

Pinto said: "The roles that Martin picked, you have participated in several auditions, and I have also put in a lot of effort. The company refuses to spend a lot of effort to recommend you. We have nothing to gain."

Vogel jumped off the boxing ring, came to the dummy, did not wear gloves, and beat the dummy violently like a storm. When he stopped, his knuckles were already red.

He turned to look at Pinto: "I'll make a decision after I finish filming this film."

Vogel is not Pinto's most important client, and Pinto stopped saying, "Yes."

…………

Three days later, Martin, accompanied by Thomas, came to the studio of "Summer of Jeans" and signed an actor contract with producer Brad Erisman representing the crew.

After signing the contract, the latter shook hands with Martin: "Welcome to the crew."

"It's my pleasure," Martin said with a smile.

Today is different from the past. As the winner of the Saturn Award for Best Young Actor, Martin has more or less some face.

Brad took a special photo with Martin, who was holding the contract, as a promotional material for the future.

In another office, Bruce also signed an assistant agreement with the crew.

As with "The Mountain Has Eyes," Thomas secured Bruce a spot as a paid assistant on the set.

In the whole group of actors, except for the four heroines, only Martin enjoys this treatment.

Martin will be paid $250,000 for the role, and the crew will provide him with two business-class air tickets to and from Los Angeles, in addition to the normal treatment of the main cast members.

"Summer of Jeans" is also a platter project, and the main filming location is also selected in Mexico. The schedule does not overlap with "The Mountain Has Eyes". Martin has more time to shoot Craven's film first, and then join another crew.

In addition, the indoor scenes of the two crews both chose Cabo San Lucas in the Baja California peninsula for shooting.

This is a famous resort city, and it is also a commonly used filming location for Hollywood crews.

The elephant trunk-shaped beach arch that often appears in Hollywood movies is located here.
