Chapter 61: Expansion Screws
Under the Great Smoky Mountains, the crescent moon is reflected on the lake, and in the courtyard of the lakeside holiday house, Elena lights a bonfire.
Martin set up the barbecue grill and expertly spread sauce on the skewers.
The scent immediately wafted up.
On the other side, Lily was holding a large pink kettle, biting the droplet-shaped straw and sucking and sucking hard.
Elena came over and slammed a punch on her head: "Idiot, don't use this. ”
Lily couldn't help but argue: "You use the real one, I can't use the fake one yet?" ”
Elena was furious: "This is not something you should use!" ”
Hall took a shovel and dug a hole around the campfire, buried Martin's wrapped sweet potatoes, and muttered, "A bunch of idiots." ”
Harris sat down on a rock: "I should call the Cole sisters, call them, they will come 100 percent." ”
Lily was depressed by her sister's suppression, and said, "I'm going to go to the lake and catch the black bear that is right for Fake." ”
Martin deliberately said: "Holiday camps like this are the scene of terrorist crimes, there is a perverted murderer who lives in the smoky mountains, goes down the mountain in the dark to hunt, and catches beautiful maidens. ”
Elena said, "Idiot, don't be scary. She looked at Lily: "Let's go to the lake for dinner, we can swim here." ”
It's a full-fledged resort, certainly not as Martin says.
After dinner, Lily and Elena changed into swimsuits, wrapped themselves in long blankets, and went to the lake.
Tourists swim in the lake at night, separated by some distances.
Elena followed Martin into the water, where the bottom of the lake was full of artificially made sand, relatively flat, and the water was not deep.
The two had a tacit understanding, swam to a no-man's land, climbed into a small boat, and lay down.
Martin has been shadowing lately: "Will Lily be staring over here?" ”
"It's far away, even if you see it, you can't see clearly." Elena has always been simple and direct in this regard: "You idiot, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" ”
"I'm afraid the ship will sink," Martin said. ”
The water was rippling, the waves were coming and going, and the boat was shaking violently.
…………
The resort is very safe and there have been no terrorist incidents.
Early the next morning, Martin had breakfast and rushed to the crew of the automobile production center to brush up on his presence in front of director Michel Gonrey.
While still having lunch with Louise Meyer, I caught up with producer Steve Golin.
In producer-centric Hollywood, Steve Gorling is undoubtedly the most powerful person in the entire crew.
Martin couldn't touch Steve Gollin for the time being, just a few polite greetings.
Getting out of the dining car, Martin met the head of the Marietta Troupe.
The two came under the awning, and Jerome said, "I kicked Rosa out of the troupe, and I released the news in the Atlanta extras circle, she reported the same cast members, and she won't be able to mix in the circle in the future." ”
He explained simply: "There are too many drugs in this industry, and no one wants to have a time bomb around them." ”
Martin said, "Commander, you're bothered. ”
Jerome is very powerful as a regimental leader: "If you bully my members, you will have to pay the price!" ”
Martin knew that Jerome had gone to great lengths to do this because he could get something in return from him, and he was very concerned: "It's okay with the crew, right?" ”
"It's a good collaboration." Jerome sees a bright future: "With the first collaboration with a Hollywood crew, there will be a second time, and the first time is the hardest. ”
He was afraid of being forgotten: "Martin, Robert Patrick said that he would always be part of the Marietta Troupe. ”
Martin said solemnly: "Me too." ”
Jerome took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Martin: "This is Robert Patrick's contact information in Los Angeles, if you go to Los Angeles to develop, it will be somewhat helpful." ”
Martin took it excitedly: "Commander! ”
"If you really want to leave Atlanta someday, tell me and I'll call him and explain your situation." Jerome made a pun: "The people of the Marietta troupe, we should help each other." ”
Martin agrees: "Wherever I went, I was a member of the Marietta Troupe. ”
Jerome pointed to the office next to the studio, "I'm going to talk to Andrew." ”
As the man walked away, Martin looked down at the words on the card, only the name and a string of numbers.
Obviously, private contact information is not available to the average person.
Robert came over with his brain shell and said, "The head of the regiment came to me this morning and said that he would not charge my dues in the future. ”
He asked, "Did you speak for me?" ”
Martin pointed to his head: "The head of the regiment has a lot of ideas, so I don't need to say more." ”
Robert is not stupid: "I should say thank you to you, $300 a month, not a small number for me." ”
Instead, Martin said, "You're my lucky star, Robert, and if one day I can really make it in Hollywood and compete with others for important roles, I'm going to invite you over." ”
Don't do anything else, use feng shui.
He learned Harris's way of speaking: "With you here, my winning rate can increase by 60 percent!" ”
Robert was not polite to Martin: "Help me find a character with lines then, yes, there must be frontal shots, don't be like you in this play, there are a lot of lines, and there are few frontal shots." ”
Martin said: "Don't worry, as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely find you a role with lines." ”
An old actor like Robert has basic acting skills, and he can't compete for roles with lines, which is more about other aspects.
In the evening, Martin invited director Michelle Gonray to have an Atlanta-inspired meal at the upscale restaurant in the Peachtree Center.
The crew filmed for more than a month, and the part in Atlanta is about to be completed, and they will return to Los Angeles in the near future.
Because the two have so much in common when it comes to their stance on the British, Michel Gonrey has a good opinion of Martin.
Connections are built little by little.
It may not be useful now, but it may be used in the future.
In two more days, Louise Mayer is also leaving Atlanta.
The night before leaving, Martin went to the hotel where she was staying and made a cup of expansion screws modified from slow speed screws for her.
In the mouth, countless bubbles exploded, and Louise Meyer said, "Martin Davis, how many new cocktails do you have?" You bastard, playing with the heart of an alcoholic! ”
Martin's face was full of grievances: "Looks like you're playing with me, right?" You're a high-flying producer, I'm just a little actor, let me think about which word is appropriate, yes, you're unsubtly ruling me! ”
Louise didn't want to talk to this trash, so she was silent for a while before she spoke: "And Kelly, the bastard, no one knows me better than her, so she specially prepared you bastard, you are a pair of dog men and women!" ”
Martin didn't seem to hear it, and said: "The expansion screw is my parting gift to you, I have given you the recipe, Louise's expansion screw will definitely leave a heavy mark in the history of cocktails!" ”
Louise thought of the name Expansion Screw: "You say I'm a pervert, but you are." ”
"It's never the wine, it's not the name." Martin tapped the top on her left: "It's the human heart, your heart is colored, you see and listen to everything." ”
He gave an example: "For example, when driving, the front lights of the car are rounded and pointing straight ahead; The wheelbase is slender, the tail is rounded and straight, the doors are opened, the seal is good, the air is clear and odorless......"
"Shut up!" Louise pushed Martin down: "I'm the driver, start, gear!" ”
The car horn whined.
When the room finally fell silent, Martin asked, "You're going to Morocco?" ”
Louise nodded: "Take a week off in Los Angeles and go to Morocco, there's a crew over there, you don't have to think about it, I won't use you, you haven't passed the accent level." ”
Martin knew he couldn't rush: "I'm going to get the zombie dancer first." ”
Louise said: "Take all your means to fight for the first actor in your life, it's just a small game compared to Hollywood." ”
