MTL - American Fame and Fortune

Chapter 104 Frequent Mistakes

 In the dilapidated front hall of the cinema, the prop master of the crew handed over the weapons: "I have loaded the crossbow and arrows."

"Thank you." Martin took it in his hand, waited until the prop master left, took off the crossbow arrows, and checked the arrowhead and crossbow arm.

Make sure that the crossbow arrow has a soft rubber head, but the crossbow arm is still too weak to bear strength, and then reload it.

 Bruce, who had recovered, came over and asked in a low voice: "Is there a problem?"

Martin's voice was also very low: "There have been more than one incident in Hollywood where props and weapons injured or killed people. I would not worry about something like this being shot at people without checking it."

Bruce remembered something: "Crow."

 The voice of director Zomi came from the set: "All departments are preparing."

 Martin came to the set opposite the cinema door and got into a shooting position.

 The shooting started, the door to the theater opposite opened, and Brian appeared.

Martin pulled the trigger, but the soft-headed crossbow arrow was not powerful enough. It hit the wall and fell without even making a sound.

 Bryan fell to the ground at the sound.

 In the next shot, Eliza joins in. Martin picks up a double-barreled shotgun and searches Brian for bullets, but finds nothing.

 The twins thought the enemy was dead and foolishly left.

 At the back, Eliza entered the set studio and sat in the dummy for filming.

 Martin went out to get some air.

 The scenes in the small town have been filmed, and this is Warner's Roadshow Studio, Hollywood's largest filming base in Australia.

Bruce stood under the shade of the tree and couldn't help complaining: "The scene just now was really stupid. Anyone with a normal mind would check to see if the person is dead and add two more cuts to solve the trouble."

 Martin looked around and then said: "This part is really like shit." But he was very clear-headed: "I have no power. This is not Kelly's investment in "Zombie Gigolo". It's not my turn to give opinions."

 Bruce asked: “The director doesn’t think there’s a problem?”

Martin said: "Zomi is just the shooting director and has no power to change the script."

 He looked into the distance: "It's not that I don't want to bully, it's just that I don't have enough status and power."

Bruce’s words fit the situation perfectly: “Once a person like you gains power, bad things will happen to the crew.”

Martin said: "Look at you and me, climbing all the way up from the quagmire. Why do we have to climb up? Don't we just want to be better, more comfortable, and happier? When we are comfortable, there will definitely be many people who have climbed up." It’s none of our business if they don’t feel happy! Do we have to live a miserable life just to make them happy?”

He mentioned Lao Bu’s masterpiece: “You had a great time hitting the British with mortars. Have you considered the British?”

“They are all perverts, they like this.” Bruce did not forget to correct him: “It’s a mortar shell.”

He was also looking at the distance. The black man in white and the white woman in red were quite conspicuous: "Is that idiot Mene getting involved with Paris?"

Martin said: "The two of them almost have the same roots as kangaroos, and they probably have a common language."

Bruce changed the topic: "The hunting license you asked me to ask about is very troublesome to apply for. It takes time and requires exams."

How can you say you have been to Australia if you don’t deal with the overpopulated wild animals? Martin asked: "Is there no other way?"

“There are hunting tourism companies that specifically target foreign tourists. They have private hunting grounds.” Bruce inquired carefully: “You can’t use a gun without an Australian temporary firearms license, you can only use bows and arrows.”

 Martin is not just for hunting, but also for socializing: "I talked to Zomi that day, and he was very interested in hunting."

Bruce reminded: "Your guy is a vegetarian."

 Martin thought for a while: "This is a man's activity. Let's find out how to get a temporary gun permit."

 There is a restaurant on the set, and Martin and Eliza eat together at noon.

 Buffet style, you can take what you want to eat.

Martin carried the dinner plate and came to the red king crab. As soon as he picked up the tongs and turned back, Eliza was looking at him longingly.

There were a lot of people here, but Eliza didn’t say anything, but there was hope in her bright eyes.

Martin smiled at her, put down the stainless steel tongs and walked forward. He ignored all the meat, eggs and milk, and mainly picked up some soy products, vegetables and mushrooms.

Eliza came from behind with a dinner plate and sat across from him. She picked up a piece of mushroom and brought it to Martin's mouth: "If you like mushrooms, try the lobster mushroom. It's better than real lobster."

 Martin enjoyed Eliza's feeding with peace of mind, and the vegetarian food tasted good.

Bruce was sitting at the next table at this time. One plate was not enough, so he went to get another one.

 The aroma of roasted beef and mutton, and the sweetness of king crab, are constantly wafting here.

 Martin immediately felt that the vegetarian food was bland and tasteless, and the mushrooms and vegetables were not fragrant at all.

Eliza said at this time: "I am going back to Los Angeles to attend the premiere at the end of the month. Will you go back?"

 Martin heard her mention the last movie she starred in: "The Girl Next Door?"

"Yes, I played an adult film actress." Eliza said roughly: "The film will be officially released on April 9th ​​and will premiere on March 27th."

Eliza's side had already been arranged when she joined the team. Martin wanted to go to the red carpet of the premiere, but he couldn't say anything: "I'll ask Zomi about the specific shooting plan and see if he can ask for leave." He said. Asked: "Can you take someone with you?"

"I am the heroine and can take care of my family." Eliza reached out and held Martin's hand tightly: "This is my first movie premiere, and it means a lot to me."

Martin returned his hand and held Eliza's. I don't know why, but there was a vague feeling between him and Thomas: "I try to adjust the time." Eliza grabbed his hand and kissed her hard: "Let's eat."

Beside him, Kim Kardashian was holding a dinner plate and sitting opposite Bruce.

Bruce asked: "In a bad mood?"

 Jin nodded: "It's okay, I lose my temper every day."

 Bruce opened a new bottle of Coke: "Drink something sweet, you will feel better."

　　After Eliza and Martin finished their meal, they left the restaurant first. The former asked: "Old Boo wants to pursue Jin?"

Bruce may have truly loved Monica, but his interest in Kim Kardashian was obvious. Martin said vaguely: "Don't worry about that pervert."

Eliza pointed to her trailer: "I want to go back to rest, will you come?"

 Martin took out his mobile phone: "I'll make a call."

Eliza said: "I'll leave the door open for you."

 Martin found a quiet place, called Thomas, and told him about Eliza's invitation to attend the premiere.

Thomas said: "Go, you must go! At this stage, all occasions that can increase your exposure and popularity are very valuable to you. I will call Susan to coordinate, and you can talk to the director."

He specifically reminded: "The explosion of fame comes from enough accumulation! Leonardo, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, these people were already in the industry before they really became famous. After working hard for many years, I have gained a certain reputation.”

 Martin hung up the phone, opened the calendar on his phone, and looked at March 27, which was more than a week away.

 He went to find Zomi Sirla and waited for a while in front of the trailer. Zomi Sirla walked over slowly alone.

Zomi asked: "Is something wrong?"

 Martin nodded: "I want to take a day off."

 Zomi invited: “Come in and chat.”

The two got into the trailer, and Martin said directly: "On March 27, Eliza wants me to accompany her to Los Angeles for the premiere. It will take about three days to go back and forth. The premiere days are Saturday and Friday..."

Zomi took out the schedule and looked at it carefully. The two of them had a good relationship and it would not affect the crew's filming too much. He immediately said: "It's easy. I'll shoot your scene next Friday to Wednesday and Thursday."

 Martin chatted with Zomi about hunting again, and made an appointment to apply for a temporary gun license for tourist hunting this weekend.

 Then he found the producer Susan and told her in person that although Thomas had called, the agent was the agent and he was himself.

 Martin had just helped the crew avoid a major accident, and Susan Levin responded immediately.

 Enter Eliza's trailer, Martin sat on the sofa chair: "It's done."

 “You can go?” Eliza very much hoped that Martin would accompany her to the red carpet of her first premiere in her life.

Martin said: "I can only go on Friday, attend the premiere on Saturday, and come back on Sunday."

“That’s great!” Eliza rushed over and kissed Martin hard. Her mood boosted her mood, and her heightened emotions promoted hormone secretion. She bit Martin’s earlobe and said, “Actually, I’m not completely vegetarian.”

 Martin felt inexplicably happy: "Really?"

Eliza slowly lowered her head: "Of course it is."

Although slightly disappointed, Martin quickly devoted himself to it.

 Not long after, the trailer began to shake slightly, and some things were particularly exciting to do on the set.

 At 2:30 in the afternoon, Eliza was the first to get off the trailer. She was extremely beautiful and radiant.

 Martin looked energetic, but something didn't feel right. The muscles in his legs were beating, his waist was screaming, and his stomach was empty, like a gourd.

He has never encountered this kind of situation before, even when he drifted a lot.

 Martin has always been in good health, but the actual fighting ability of a girl like Eliza is not comparable to either Louise or Kelly.

 shooting in the afternoon, Martin was in extremely bad condition, making frequent mistakes and constant NGs.

During the break, even Mene ran over: "Boss, your body won't be occupied by other souls, right? This doesn't look like you."

 Martin ate two bananas, felt better, and said to Mene: "Invite me to dinner tonight."

Meine responded immediately: "No problem, it should be, I know a very famous vegan restaurant..."

Before he finished speaking, Martin turned around with a knife-like gaze.

Meine was startled. What was wrong? You don't kill people and dump their bodies, do you? He was very smart and reacted immediately: "Boss, I'll treat you to Australian barbecue."

　　The crew called it a day, and Martin used Mene’s treat as an excuse to miss the meals, meals and accommodation with Eliza these days.

 The filming started the next morning, and everyone on the crew discovered that Martin was back to his best, and most of the shots were done in one or two shots.

 At the weekend, Martin, Zomi and Bruce went to the hunting and hunting company together. With their assistance, they applied for relevant certificates, took training classes and exams, and then waited a few weeks.

Early on Friday morning, Martin and Eliza got on the flight back to Los Angeles to prepare for the premiere of "The Girl Next Door."

　　Celebrities all started out as celebrities.
