Chapter 6: What I do best
It was dark outside, and the house was brightly lit and full of laughter.
After eating the Monte Cristo sandwich, Harris picked up a can of beer and threw it to Martin, opened another can with one hand, and said loudly: "Martin, my worship of you has risen from zero to ninety percent!" ”
Elena came over with a plate, sat down next to Martin, and forked a piece of oxtail: "The prize is for you." ”
Martin took a bite of the meat, picked up his beer, raised it and said, "Raise your glass, trash!" ”
"Cheers!"
Lily and Hall, two idiots, also raised the Coke in their hands.
The harvest of the afternoon brought real joy.
The joy was so pure that it encouraged Lily and Hale to reach for the beer.
Elena's gaze swept over, and Lily craned her neck and said, "It's not me, it's Hall who is holding my hand!" She said viciously to Hall, "If you do this again, I will cut off your little brother and stuff it in your mouth." ”
Not to be outdone, Hall: "My baseball bat will crush you into an airfield!" ”
Martin knocked on the empty can: "If you two fools ruin my good mood again, I'll throw you out to sleep on the street." ”
"For your sake of the treat." Lily's straw buzzed and she stopped arguing with Hall.
Martin stood up and said, "Okay, I'll make you a glass of the girl's drink." ”
Elena was surprised: "When did you idiot learn to bartend?" ”
Martin picked up a can of sweet water beer and went to the open kitchen, rummaging through it as he said, "Old bastard Jack is the most versatile man in the northeast of Marietta, why do you think he kidnapped your mother?" ”
Harris quietly walked around the back of the couch and deliberately said to Elena: "Bastard Jack's son, up to a ninety-nine percent probability of being a bastard." ”
Lily next to her heard it and interjected: "Scott and Jack are both bastards, mom Emma likes to be with bastard Fark, Elena likes to be with bastard Martin Fark, perfect inheritance!" ”
With a bang, Elena's fist landed on Lily's face, and Lily covered her nose and lost her voice.
There were no professional materials in the kitchen, so Martin had to find a few substitutes, no shaker, and simply took the kettle that Lily used for school.
Jack Davis is indeed versatile, but Martin Davis didn't learn bartending from him.
This is what Martin learned when he was in a sideways way to fight for 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 beer, added sugar, salt, cola, and baking soda, cracked another egg, beat in the egg whites, squeezed in a little lemon juice, and finally tightened the lid and shook it.
Taking two cups and placing them on the coffee table stacked with food boxes, Martin unscrewed the lid and poured the cups into them: "Bubble beauty, welcome to taste." ”
Wine in a glass, piled with foam.
Elena took a cup and took a sip carefully: "It tastes a little weird." ”
Lily snatched another glass and sniffed hard: "Elena, this wine is like Martin released in your mouth......"
Martin slapped Lily on the top of her head: "Idiot, keep your mouth shut. ”
Harris took Lily's glass and enjoyed it alone, "What else did you learn we didn't know?" ”
"I'm also good at riding," Martin said. ”
Lily couldn't help it again: "I know, ride ......"
Turning her knife-like gaze, Lily shut her mouth completely.
Of course, Martin is talking about serious riding, and he has only been a martial artist to ride a horse.
Elena drank up the foam beauty, remembered one thing, and found the packaged disc and handed it to Martin: "Reproduction of the video video." ”
Harris asked, "Is it still useful?" ”
Martin put it aside and said vaguely: "Even if that waste is quit tomorrow, his drug test will still be positive for a long time to come." ”
The others didn't know why, so they all threw it to the back of their minds and concentrated on eating and drinking.
Elena was well fed and asked, "You're not going to run away with the money like Jerk Jack, are you?" ”
Martin started his usual beer again: "With such a small amount of money, I went to a strange place, and after I spent it, it was even harder to mix than it is now." ”
This is true and false, because Martin is really thinking about running away, and as for whether to run or not, let's see the situation first.
Elena moved her lap to the sofa: "I allow you to pay the rent later, go and pay off some of the loan sharks first, I have heard that Vincent, the owner of the House of the Beast, is very difficult." ”
Instead, she asked, "Have you considered a new job?" ”
Martin certainly considered: "Do what I do best......"
Lily had been waiting for an opportunity and immediately interjected: "You're the best at sending Elena!" ”
Martin stood up, raised his fist, and asked Lily's siblings, "You don't mind if I beat up an underage girl, do you?" ”
Lily ran away with a cigarette: "I drank too much, go to bed." ”
It wasn't early, and Harris was sleepy after a day's tossing, dragging Hall back to his room.
Elena got up to clean up the trash on the floor, holding the coffee table with her back to Martin and bending down to pick up the napkins that Hall had littered.
Twenty-one years old, with delicate facial features and well-defined peaks in the valley plains, who can stand it?
Martin got up and leaned in, hugged Elena, and pushed the lunch box garbage off the coffee table.
…………
In the morning, Martin slept alone on the couch.
Carter's home is small, with only two bedrooms, with Elena and Lily living in one and Harris sharing the other with Hall.
There's no way Martin could squeeze into a room with Sister Elena and Lily, and after last night's work, he didn't bother to go back next door and simply slept on the couch.
Half-asleep and dazed, Martin remembered what he did best.
What is he good at? Acting and some of the abilities related to acting, the most important thing is in the drill camp in the entertainment industry.
In my previous life, when I was young, I was delusional, I wanted to be the second stupid root, and I spent a lot of good years in it.
If you only talk about acting, although he was born in Yeluzi, he is willing to study and endure hardships, and after mixing in supporting roles, even some old actors from early professional classes will say good.
Acting is a very talented field, Martin was talented in his last life, but the success or failure of the entertainment industry is not determined by talent and acting skills.
Martin has long lost his naivety and has enough knowledge of himself.
The predecessor, Martin Davis, was almost at the bottom of society, with a little less connections, negative wealth, and even a happy education.
Martin knows very well that if you want to develop in the future, it is best to do what you are good at.
Hollywood's film and television industry is also not easy to mix, in fact, for poor ghosts, it is difficult to do other industries except for zero-yuan purchases or joining gangsters as low-level cannon fodder.
Martin's short-term goals are clear, adapt to the society of the United States, learn more about the dynamics of the film and television industry, and make more money to go to Los Angeles or New York to find opportunities.
Atlanta can also be regarded as a start, after all, from the previous life to around 2015, Atlanta became the third largest film and television production base in the United States after Los Angeles and New York.
It's mainly about chance, and a lot of times opportunity is far more important than ability.
Martin opened his eyes and suddenly found Lily Carter sitting on the coffee table with her hands clasped over her chest, staring at him with wide, bright eyes full of inquiry.
This look was too direct, so Martin subconsciously wrapped the blanket on his body to protect himself: "What do you do?" ”
Lily said, "Pure curiosity, try what's different here, why Elena is lying here and howling even louder." ”
