After mixing breakfast, Martin went out alone, and after a night, the leg pain was further improved, and the memory of his predecessor in his head became clearer and clearer.

Of course, we can't waste time when we are in better shape, and there is still a lot to do.

Martin saved the burned discs, grabbed the JVC camera, and went to the grocery store on the north side of the community.

Early in the morning, Scott Carter was already drinking, the sun was shining on his face, and his nose was brighter than the red light at the intersection.

Martin put the camera on the counter: "The thing is back to you, and by the way, Harris was healed." ”

Scott actually put down the wine bottle, stood up and checked the camera carefully, and suddenly his nose became redder: "Boy, where's my cassette?" You stole my cassette! ”

"Less special to frame people." Martin casually said nonsense: "The strap in the cassette, tie the splint to your son, you go to Elena to ask for it." ”

Hearing his eldest daughter's name, Scott sat back and never mentioned Elena: "Tell Harris that bastard that the cassette is worth $20 and must be sent tomorrow." ”

Martin bypassed this one and asked, "Got a cheap phone?" ”

The cell phone he had taken yesterday was borrowed by Lily from Mrs. Wood.

"Poor ghost, do you have money to buy a mobile phone?" Scott thought of a possibility: "Is Jerk Jack back?" Tell me, where is he! ”

A normal person's wife was abducted, and there must be a great feud between life and death, and Scott's brain circuit is not ordinary: "Let me calculate, how many days has this bastard abducted Emma?" Hell, the hell knows how many times they've sent them, and I'm going to collect money on a daily basis, at least 100 ...... a day No, $200! ”

It's too difficult to communicate with people who aren't on the same channel, and Martin is too lazy to say more, ready to flash people.

Scott took out a mobile phone from under the counter: "European goods, extraordinarily strong, you can use it when you die." ”

Martin took it, the gray straight phone, I used this second-hand item in my previous life, Nokia 3210.

Feeling that something was wrong, he turned it over and found that the back shell was cracked and spliced with glue, and there was a hole in the center of the crack.

Scott took a sip of wine: "This is a lucky mobile phone, I don't show it to ordinary people, the Eagles gang and people are on fire, a delivery boy was hit by a ricochet, and the mobile phone blocked it for him, but the battery is wasted, and I matched it later." ”

Martin turned on the phone, made sure it was working properly, and asked, "How much?" ”

Scott waved his hand, seemingly generous: "Take it." ”

If it was Harris or Elena's, Martin would have taken it directly, but this was the rotten drunkard and the rotten poisonous Scott, who had been reluctant to spend money on her children since Elena was sixteen.

Free is the most expensive, Martin took $20 out of his pocket, put it on the counter, and left with his phone.

Scott was surprised: "When did this idiot become smarter?" ”

Martin found a place to go through the Internet access procedures, bought a number of newspapers, especially in the socio-economic and film and television entertainment categories, and returned to the rented house to look through them carefully.

It is always necessary to understand the social situation.

Since the 1996 Olympics, Atlanta's development has accelerated further, and blacks, who make up 40 percent of the population, have improved dramatically in terms of economic, political and social status.

Correspondingly, black gangs, which were originally mainly active in the southern part of the metropolitan area, began to enter the downtown areas, and there was constant friction with the original white forces, and robberies and shootings were frequent.

Martin also saw a job posting in a tabloid for House of the Beast, a club that had recently opened and was hiring dancers.

Do you want to check it out?

He felt a chill on his back, and the back window rattled.

The wind is blowing.

Martin went to close the windows, and the backyard was full of weeds, and suddenly it occurred to him that there was a dead man buried in the yard, or a pit dug by him and Elena.

The warm spring breeze suddenly turned into a gust of gloomy wind.

Want to jump out and be scared? Martin decided to throw a party in the backyard in a few days, call more people over, and arrange heavy rock and disco.

After a hard night, and after catching up on sleep at noon, Martin walked around the Clayton neighborhood in the afternoon, looking for quick business opportunities.

Not to mention, it's really a lot, and there are weeds and rice everywhere.

Those who don't touch these things are many of them working as hourly workers like Elena, and those who have stable jobs are in the minority.

The predecessor, Martin Davis, never had a stable job, and for a long time he ate Elena's soft rice, most frequented the Marietta Community Theater Troupe, and dreamed of becoming a star.

Martin decided to go over and take a look.

After another day off, Martin's body basically recovered, and it was the fixed time for the troupe to take the old minibus to Margaret Square on the weekend.

The memorial to Margaret Mitchell, the author of Gone with the Wind, is located here.

Martin walked towards the memorial, glanced at the line on the wall of the doorway that read "When Hollywood Met Marietta", and walked around the memorial to a small theater in the back.

There was a van parked in front of the theater, and Jerome Mitchell, dressed in formal clothes, was directing the unloading of the goods, and when he saw Martin, he gave the order: "Hurry up, come and help!" ”

This is the head of the Marietta Community Theatre Company, which is said to be linked to Margaret Mitchell's family.

Martin deliberately crutches over and carries a small box into the theater.

Jerome asked, "You disappeared for a week, delaying a lot of work for the troupe." ”

Martin limped past him: "I broke my leg and was just able to get out of bed, so I rushed over as soon as possible." ”

Jerome's eyes were sharp, and he kept staring at Martin, like a boss spotting a lazy employee.

The goods were sent into the warehouse, and more than a dozen people moved to the small theater and sat on the seats under the stage.

There are more than 7,000 community theater companies in the United States, and Marietta is just one of them.

The only thing to be commended about is that Mr. T1000 Robert Patrick joined the troupe when he was young.

Martin looked a little and saw that the ten people were new faces that were not in his memory.

The fat man Robert came to the side and asked with concern, "I heard that you broke your leg in a fall?" ”

Martin nodded: "Recuperated for a week." He gestured with his eyes: "A lot of newcomers? ”

Robert said helplessly: "There are a lot of things in the theater, we have to come to work at every turn, and we extras have no income, and it is about to reach the payment period for the membership of the troupe, and some people have withdrawn, so they can continue their dream of stardom by filling their stomachs." ”

The choice between reality and dreams.

Jerome then walked to the middle of the stage, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said, "There is some good news for you. ”

He didn't sell it, and said directly: "Channel 2 cooperates with Gray Film and Television Productions, and plans to shoot a plantation-themed play, and next week will recruit actors at the Midtown Arts Theater, and I will get in touch with the casting director, and everyone will have the opportunity to appear at that time." ”

The newcomers are excited.

Robert was very calm, and only extras were recruited.

Jerome's tone was a bit of a showmanship: "You all know, I have some connections in Hollywood, and I just got a heavyweight news that a big-budget movie starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet with an investment of tens of millions will be filmed in Atlanta in the near future, and they will recruit actors in Atlanta in order to reduce costs, and I believe that the Marietta Theater Company can produce another Robert Patrick." ”

Martin carefully recalled, what movies did Fat Win and Jim Carrey work on?

The incense bait was thrown, and Jerome began to pull the fishing line: "The troupe belongs to all of us, we use the utilities together, we need to rehearse the plays, and we have to bear the daily maintenance costs of the theater, so the troupe charges $300 a month, which must be understandable." ”

It's not a free show, it's a paid performance.

It's no surprise that Martin is well-informed.

When he was drifting, one of his fellow starlets, for the supporting actress in the previous drama, is said to have sold several houses in his family.

This kind of payment is not an exception, and many people want to pay money but have no way.
