American Fame and Fortune

Chapter 79 Bringing capital into the group is the right way (please subscribe)

 The next morning, Martin received a call from Bruce, saying that Vincent and Sofia wanted to treat him to a drink at the Beast House.

 Martin drove to Saijo Street and entered the club.

Bruce stood behind the bar pouring drinks.

Vincent took off his cowboy hat, waved to Martin, waited for Martin to sit at the bar, and said: "Here's a toast to you."

 Martin clinked glasses with him, and Sofia toasted with him.

Vincent put down the cup: "A very wonderful movie, a very good investment."

 Martin smiled: "Boss, I am a grateful person."

Sofia interjected: "You are also a smart person."

　　Martin's eyes drifted across Old Bu's face, but Old Bu didn't express anything. He simply said directly: "Boss, Sophia, are you asking me to do more than just treat me to a drink?"

This time Vincent didn’t speak, and Sofia answered: “While the crew was filming, I heard someone say that you plan to go to Los Angeles for development.”

 Martin nodded: "There is a plan in this regard."

Sofia motioned to Old Bu to pour the wine: "There are many opportunities in Los Angeles, with many film companies and crews. I heard that hundreds of movies are shot every year."

Martin told the truth: "I have never been to Los Angeles, and I don't know the details."

Sofia received a notification report from the studio this morning and was very satisfied with the previous investment. This kind of business is a mature business, so she and Vincent set their sights on Martin again: "Hollywood movies can easily cost tens of millions of dollars. With a billion-dollar investment, if you encounter such an opportunity, don’t forget your old friends in Atlanta.”

 Hearing this, Martin felt relieved. Among other things, he could bring capital into the group at the critical moment.

He barely needed any preparation, and his words were filled with sincere feelings: "Atlanta is my home. No matter how far away I go, I will come back one day. Why? Here are my most precious memories and friends."

 While speaking, Martin looked at Lao Bu specifically.

Bruce was very understanding and secretly gave him a middle finger.

Martin continued: "How could I forget you when there is an investment opportunity? I told Vincent that it was all because of your investment support that we were able to win the leading role this time."

Sofia toasted: “I propose a toast to our future cooperation.”

 Martin clinked glasses with her and Vincent one after another and drank the wine in the glasses.

At this close contact, he realized that Sophia’s bent upper arm was thicker than Lily’s thigh.

 Martin realized something was wrong, why Lily’s legs? He definitely didn't peek.

Vincent said at this time: "My most successful investment so far was lending money to Jack Davis. This money introduced me to Martin."

 Martin was helpless: "Boss, can we not mention Jack?"

"That old **** hasn't contacted you?" Vincent smiled rarely: "If I were you, Martin, I would definitely break his legs when I see him again."

 Martin shook his head: "Because it's not worth it for him to go to jail."

Sophia continued to ask Bruce to pour the wine: "Let's have another drink."

 Martin clinked glasses with them again.

 While Vincent and Sofia were drinking, Bruce suddenly gave him a wink.

Martin understood the idea, talked about the so-called investment for a while, and said goodbye at the right time: "I want to go to the Marietta Theater. I made an appointment with the leader, and I can't break the appointment."

 Sophia stretched out her hand: “Let’s talk another day.”

 Martin shook her hand politely, it felt like holding a stone: "Okay."

 Leaving the club, Martin went to the Marietta Theater Company, where Jerome did ask him to meet.

As soon as he entered the community theater, he saw dozens of people sitting in the theater. There were seven or eight people standing on the stage, and Robert, who was shaking his big head, was directing their performance.

Robert became a teacher…

 Martin waved to the stage and went directly to the office on the second floor.

Jerome pointed to the opposite side: "Sit down."

 Martin sat down and said, "The troupe is very prosperous."

Jerome downplayed: "There are many new people. The troupe has signed an agreement with Gray Company for the use of extras. Many extras are seeking to join the troupe."

 Martin heard Andrew say this: "Gray Company's late-night drama will not stop. Leader, please keep in touch with Andrew."

"I will." Jerome changed the topic: "Last night, I had a phone call with Robert Patrick and told him about your situation. He said that when you arrive in Los Angeles, you can go to Sherman Oaks to find him."

 The leader handed the card with the address to Martin: "Patrick will provide you with some help."

 Martin said solemnly: "Thank you, leader."

Jerome suddenly emphasized his tone: "Martin, you are from the Marietta Troupe. Since you are going to Los Angeles, you have to work hard to show your appearance and not embarrass the troupe."

 Martin promised: "Captain, I will do it."

"I want to thank you for everything you have done for the troupe. Without you, the troupe would not be as prosperous as it is today." Jerome sighed softly: "As a leader, I have limited abilities, so I can only help you with this."

 Martin originally wanted to invite Jerome to have dinner with him at noon, but Jerome declined.

Go downstairs and call Robert. Robert is very busy, so he just took the time to come over and chat with him for a few words.

"After the photo of me and the crew was published in the newspaper, a very beautiful actor took the initiative to pursue me." Robert whispered about a recent incident: "I know that she is not interested in me, but something else. "

Martin was very cooperative: "Where's the back?" Robert said: "She pestered me the day before yesterday, and I bought a bottle of Coke. The Coke might have just been dropped or something, but I didn't pay attention. I unscrewed the cap of the bottle and the Coke that came out sprayed out. She has it all over her head and she wants to sue me."

 Martin found a lawyer’s phone number and sent it to Robert: “Go and consult a professional.”

Robert glanced and his big head dropped a little: "I don't know why, but when you were in Savannah, my luck got bad."

 Martin thought of Ma Zhenxi and Adam Smith, and solemnly said: "Be patient for a while and keep your phone open. I may call you at any time when I go to Los Angeles."

Robert flinched a little: “Going to Los Angeles means leaving home.”

"We'll talk about it later." Martin knew that it would be useless to talk more now: "I made an appointment with Lao Bu for dinner. If you don't go, I'll leave."

Robert is a very good teacher: “I am now the chief acting instructor of the Marietta Community Theater Company, and I have to teach these newbies.”

 Leaving the troupe, Martin went to the Rosario restaurant where he was last time, waited until Bruce came over, and ordered some Mexican food.

 Bruce reminded him: "Be careful when drinking with Sophia in the future, she has a large drinking capacity."

 Martin immediately began to think: "Old Bu, you are probably drunk..."

"Shut up!" Bruce didn't want to mention it at first, but after a while he looked sad: "I didn't know it at the time, but I drank a few more drinks with her, and ended up getting drunk..."

 Martin poured him a glass of beer: "What a sad story. Those who bully others will eventually be bullied."

Bruce was about to drink beer, but when he heard this, he subconsciously lifted his coat.

Martin said quickly: "Civilized people, there are patrols over there, don't give the son of a **** a chance to empty the magazine."

Bruce took back his hand: "You're so lucky!"

Thinking of Scott, Martin asked: "How long will Sophia's interest in someone last?"

Bruce shook his head: "Not necessarily, some take longer, and some get tired of it after a few days."

 Martin asked again: "The one who ends up with the worst fate?"

Bruce couldn't help laughing: "As far as I know, Sophia has never killed anyone. The worst one was just **** prolapse."

Martin thought of a possibility: "It can't be you, right?"

Bruce really wanted to pull out his gun: "You stinking piece of shit, I'm going to tear your head off to see what kind of dog **** is inside..."

 Martin said again: "Old Bu, why are you so excited?"

"Yeah, why should I be excited?" Bruce suddenly calmed down and said, "If you encounter something bad that needs to be wiped out again, don't come to me. I won't help you even if you give me $100,000."

Just as the waiter brought the food, Martin said: "Let me take care of this meal."

Bruce changed his words again: "For the sake of your treat, ask me to charge double the fee next time."

Martin forked a piece of black pepper beef and said, "Don't worry, when I find you again, I will book you a first-class flight and a five-star suite, and prepare a beautiful girl with a big ass."

 The two finished eating, Martin paid the bill and drove back to the community.

 Entering the Carter's house, I heard Lily shouting: "Hall, you stupid pig, come here and see if I am taller than Elena."

Lily, who was barefoot, stood on Elena's side and gestured with her hands: "I'm really taller than you."

 She saw Martin: "Look, isn't it?"

 Martin chewed gum and sat on the single sofa.

Elena was too lazy to talk to her, picked up two magazines and came to the single sofa, sitting on the armrest next to him.

Lily put her hands behind her back and said seriously: "Elena, I'm taller than you, you can't touch me casually in the future..."

Before she finished speaking, the magazine in Elena's hand flew out and hit her in the face.

Lily covered her strong nose and said in a low voice: "Martin, are you a masochist?"

 Martin picked up the baseball that Hall had thrown by the sofa, threw it up and caught it.

 Lily stopped talking and sat on the sofa angrily.

Elena pointed to the room: "Go and help Hall with his homework."

It turns out that Lily has grown taller and is still a younger sister, and can only succumb to Elena's power.

Elena and Martin sat together for a while, looked at the time, and said, "Harris drove the Ford to deliver goods. Are you taking me to work?"

 Martin patted Elena's butt: "I'm happy to oblige."

 The two got into the BMW and Martin drove out of the community.

 There were only two of them in the car.

 Arriving near the Bishui Bar, Martin stopped the car and asked Elena: "Have you ever thought about living in Los Angeles?"

“Why do you want to go to Los Angeles?” After Elena got a formal job, she stopped swearing: “My home is in Atlanta, my family is in Atlanta, and my relatives and friends are all in Atlanta.”

 Martin said: “We can go together.”

"I still have to wait for Emma to come back." Elena was deeply worried: "If she comes back and we are not here, Scott will go crazy and hurt her. No matter what she does, she is Lily and Hall's mother. "

She took the initiative to avoid the topic: "When will that movie you act in be released? Take me to see it."
