American Fame and Fortune

 Chapter 6 What you are best at

It was dark outside, but the lights were brightly lit inside, and there was constant laughter and laughter.

　　After Harris finished his Monte Cristo sandwich, he picked up a can of beer and threw it to Martin. He opened another can with one hand and said loudly: "Martin, my admiration for you has increased from zero to ninety percent!"

Elena came over with a plate, sat next to Martin, and forked a piece of oxtail: "This is a prize for you."

 Martin took a bite of the meat, opened the beer, raised it and said: "You losers, raise your glasses together!"

"cheers!"

Lily and Hall, two idiots, also raised their Cokes.

 The afternoon’s harvest brought real joy.

The joy was so pure that it encouraged Lily and Hall to reach for the beer.

Elena glanced over, and Lily shrank her neck and said: "It wasn't me, it was Hall who held my hand!"

Hall was not to be outdone: "He obviously encouraged me to get it!"

 Martin knocked on the empty can: "If you two idiots ruin my good mood again, I will throw you out to sleep on the street."

“For the sake of your treat.” Lily’s straw buzzed and she stopped bickering with Hall.

 Martin stood up and said, "Okay, I'll make you a girl's drink."

Elena was surprised: "When did you, an idiot, learn to bartend?"

　　Martin picked up a can of Sweet Water Beer and came to the open kitchen. While rummaging through it, he said, "Old **** Jack is the most versatile man in Northeast Marietta. Why do you think he kidnapped your mother?"

Harris quietly walked around behind the sofa and deliberately said to Elena: "The son of **** Jack has a ninety-nine percent chance of being a bastard."

Lily next to her heard this and interjected: "Scott and Jack are both bastards, and Martin is also a bastard. Perfect inheritance!"

With a bang, Elena's fist fell on Lily's face. Lily covered her nose and became silent.

There were no professional materials in the kitchen, so Martin could only find a few substitutes. There was no cocktail mixer, so he just took the kettle Lily used for school.

Jack Davis is indeed versatile, but Martin Davis did not learn bartending from him.

 This is what Martin learned specifically when he was trying to get a supporting role as a bartender.

 At that time, Martin was a good drinker and had been practicing.

 Martin poured in half a bottle of sweet water beer, added sugar, salt, cola and baking soda, cracked open an egg, beat in the egg white, squeezed in a little lemon juice, and finally tightened the lid and shook it.

Took two cups and placed them on the coffee table filled with food packaging boxes. Martin unscrewed the lid of the pot and poured it into the cup: "Foam beauty, welcome to taste."

 The wine in the cup is full of foam.

Elena took a glass and took a sip carefully: "It tastes a bit weird."

Lily quickly grabbed another cup and sniffed it hard: "It's so disgusting..."

 Martin slapped Lily on the top of her head: "Idiot, watch your mouth."

 Harris took away Lily's wine glass and enjoyed it alone: ​​"Have you learned anything that we don't know?"

  Martin said: "I'm also good at riding horses."

 Lily couldn't help it anymore: "I know..."

Turning around with a knife-like gaze, Lily shut her mouth completely.

 Martin was a knight-errant. Elena drank up the foam beauty, remembered something, found the packaged disc and handed it to Martin: "Reproduced video."

 Harris asked: "Is it still useful?"

 Martin put it aside and said vaguely: "Even if that waste quits smoking tomorrow, his drug test will still be positive for a long time to come."

Others didn't know why, so they put it all behind them and concentrated on eating and drinking.

Elena had enough to eat and drink, and asked: "You won't take the money and run away like that **** Jack, will you?"

 Martin started to drink another beer: "It's just such a small amount of money, go to a strange place, and it will be harder to get along after spending it all than it is now."

This statement may be true or false, because Martin is indeed considering running away. As for whether to run away, we must first look at the situation.

Elena moved her legs onto the sofa: "I will allow you to pay the rent later and pay off part of the loan shark first. I heard people say that Vincent, the owner of the House of Beasts, is very difficult to deal with."

 She then asked: “Have you considered a new job?”

 Martin certainly considered: “Do what I do best…”

 It was getting late, and Harris was tired after a long day's work, so he dragged Hall back to the room.

Elena stood up to clean up the garbage on the floor. She leaned on the coffee table with her back to Martin and bent down to pick up the napkins that Hall had thrown away.

 …

 In the morning, Martin slept alone on the couch.

 The Carter house is not big, with only two bedrooms. Elena and Lily live in one, and Harris and Hall share the other.

Martin couldn't possibly share a room with sisters Elena and Lily. He was too lazy to go back to the next door last night and simply slept on the couch.

Half asleep and half awake, Martin thought about what he was best at.

 What is he good at? Acting and some acting-related abilities are most important in the entertainment industry.

In my last life, when I was young, I had a wishful thinking and wanted to be the second fool, and I spent a lot of my good years in it.

If we talk about acting alone, although Ye Luzi is from a background, he is willing to study hard and endure hardships. After joining the supporting role, even some veteran actors who came from early majors will say that he is good.

 The field of acting requires talent. In his previous life, Martin was very talented. However, success or failure in the entertainment industry is not determined by talent and acting skills.

 Martin has long lost his naivety and has sufficient knowledge of himself.

The predecessor, Martin Davis, was almost at the bottom of society, with almost no connections, negative property, and even unfinished happiness education.

 Martin is very clear that if you want to develop in the future, it is best to work in an industry that you are good at.

 The Hollywood film and television industry is also difficult to deal with. In fact, it is difficult for poor people to work in other industries except shopping for zero yuan or joining a gang as low-level cannon fodder.

 Martin’s short-term goals have become clear, which include adapting to the old American society, learning more about the dynamics of the film and television industry, and earning more money to go to Los Angeles or New York to look for opportunities.

Atlanta can also be regarded as a start. After all, by around 2015, Atlanta had become the third largest film and television production base in the United States after Los Angeles and New York.

 It’s mainly about opportunities. In many cases, opportunities are far more important than abilities.

　　　Gentlemen, if you have a monthly pass, please give me some.
