Chapter 87: Men Should Protect Themselves (Alliance Leader Plus 3)
On Saturday afternoon, the accent class started at Paramount Studios, and Martin rushed over early, and in a room of less than thirty square meters, there were more than a dozen desks with headsets installed.
Martin sat down at a random table and glanced slightly, most of them were young people in their twenties.
"Hi man, my name is Mene." Next to him was an old black with a white complexion, and his accent was particularly heavy: "I see that you are a little familiar, what role have you played?" Martin shook his head: "It's all backdrops." ”
"Oh, cool." Mene lost interest in speaking, and turned his gaze to the door, attracted by the two women who had entered.
The blonde woman is not tall, but her body is well proportioned, with a straight chest and hips. The brown-haired woman is tall and has long legs, and her skin is snow-white, like Snow White.
In the actor industry, the proportion of people with outstanding appearance or strange appearance is much higher. Mene beckoned to the two women: "Beauty, sit here." The two of them bypassed him and moved to the empty seat on the other side of Martin.
Emily, a blonde woman, was slightly surprised when she spotted Martin: "I didn't expect to meet you here." Martin nodded at her, "Good afternoon." The brown-haired woman asked, "Who is he?" ”
"The New Neighbor of the North Hollywood Apartments." Emily introduced, "This is Martin. Martin, this is Jessica. Jessica sat diagonally behind, saw that Martin was a sunny handsome guy, and said generously: "Handsome guy, give me a mobile phone number?" I'm Jessica Stojatinovic, model and actress. Martin looked at her familiarly, did not refuse, reported his mobile phone number, and introduced himself: "Martin Davis, actor." Emily also wrote down Martin's cell phone number and called Martin: "Neighbor, remember my name, right?" ”
"Of course." Martin said that Antonio was not lying, and that there were indeed some actors living in the apartment. The instructor, Professor Griffin, came in and the first class began.
Before the start of the class, he specifically asked, "Have you had any frustrations with your accent?" Mene was active: "I lost an important role because of my accent, and I could have been the next Will Smith. The crowd laughed.
Mene was very good at using natural weapons, and half-jokingly said, "You laugh at a black man who can't succeed? "As soon as the nuclear weapons came out, the audience fell silent.
Griffin hurriedly opened his mouth to get to the point: "Let's talk about what is a Hollywood accent first, it is a fictional accent, which incorporates some British accents, adding some charm to the bland American accent, if you can practice Hollywood accents, it will enhance your core competitiveness." He explained briefly, saying, "Let's start the lesson." "Everybody, including Martin, listened very carefully, and this wasn't a happy education, and it cost up to $400 per class.
To be recommended by an agency, Professor Griffin has real material. Time passed quickly, and an hour had just arrived, and Professor Griffin did not delay for even half a minute, and immediately announced the end of the class.
Martin packed up his textbooks and tape recorder, put his bag on his back and left. As soon as she got out of the room, Jessica caught up from behind: "Why don't you wait for us?" Emily followed.
Martin said, "I'm sorry, but I still have something to do, so I'm in a hurry to leave." Emily catches up: "Thank you for that morning." Martin reminded her, "You said thank you for the third time." Jessica understood: "That's what you said, help you scare away Igor's handsome guy?" Emily said, "I'm terrified, Jesse, have you solved it?" I don't want to see that ugly guy again. Jessica put the bag on her shoulder: "I owe him the money I pay off, he won't go again." She grabbed Emily's arm: "I have no money, can I move back with you?" The two had been living together before, and Emily couldn't help her: "Whatever you want." Coming to the parking lot, Jessica turned to Martin: "Handsome guy, we will be neighbors in the future, find a place to have a drink?" ”
"I'm so sorry, I have something to do." Martin stopped in front of the car and said, "I'm going to Burbank." Without waiting for the other party to speak, Martin opened the door and got into the car, waved his hand through the window, and quickly drove out of the parking lot to Warner Studios to get a new character script.
The project is finalized and officially named "Star Partners", which will be broadcast on HBO next summer, and the first season is planned to produce 8 episodes, each episode of no more than 30 minutes.
As Martin expected, the drama has a lot of large-scale shots. On the other side, Jessica got into Emily's car, went to her temporary place to pull her luggage, carried her luggage out, and bought a copy of The Hollywood Reporter on the street.
Getting into the car, Emily asked, "Can you read?" Jessica was quite dismissive: "Australian native, don't bully me because I'm young, I dropped out of Delaware College of Art and Design, and you went to country ballet school." She picked up the newspaper and shook it: "Industry insiders favorite, I advise you to read more books and newspapers to keep abreast of industry trends." Emily shook her head: "It's useless to look at this, I came to Los Angeles from Australia, I don't have a decent role, and I can't find a way to sleep if I want to send it to the door." Jessica said: "If sleep alone could solve the problem, I would be an Oscar-winning actress this year." Hepburn, Taylor, Monroe, Kelly, Big Mouth, Paltrow, sleep all over Hollywood, who wouldn't! Emily was quite helpless: "There are too many actors and models at the bottom, who is not an actor in Los Angeles?" Jessica opened the newspaper and just read a few pages before sending it to Emily: "Look! Look at this guy, isn't that Martin Davis? ”
"Bichi, do you want to die?" Emily hurriedly pushed her away: "I want to die and take off my pants and jump out of the car, don't pull me." Jessica pointed to a picture in the newspaper and said: "Martin Davis, he starred in a theatrical movie called "Zombie Dancer", which has just been removed from North America, and the North American box office has accumulated $6.74 million!" She looked closely: "Martin Davis is the male lead!" Emily said: "It's not uncommon for Hollywood to have a $100 million actor. Jessica is not very old and has a lot of ideas: "We know those male protagonists, he doesn't know us, Martin Davis is our neighbor." Emily suddenly leaned to the side of the road, stepped on the brakes, snatched the newspaper from Jessica's hand, and read it carefully.
With a picture of a big palm and a text introduction of a slap, this kind of film can be on The Hollywood Reporter, and Lionsgate must have spent money.
Jessica asked, "What do you think?" Emily closed the newspaper: "What can I think?" Jessica was direct: "Didn't you complain that there was no way to take off your pants?" Now there is. "He's just an actor," Emily said. Jessica nodded at her chest: "You are a few years older than me, and you have all come here to improve the nutrition of your brain!" The director-producers' residences are not secrets, you go to their door and undress and the police will come and arrest you in a few minutes. Emily asked, "Have you tried it?" Jessica didn't admit it, didn't deny it, just said: "The first step to success is the hardest, he succeeds in one, and soon there will be a second important role, and then we have the first step by pulling us a little." Do you think we can find a better opportunity in the short term? Emily thought for a moment and said, "You can't always come to the door to take off your pants, and it's worthless to take the initiative to deliver it to the door." ”
"We need to come up with a plan." Jessica took out her pen and wrote on the sticky note, "What's the plan?" Seducing a male neighbor? The male neighbor is in love with me? How do I get my male neighbor to be strong? Emily considered: "We have to let him take the initiative, and only if he takes the initiative can we have the advantage." Jessica tore off a piece of paper from her notebook and threw it at her feet: "Think about it, is there a particularly good way." Emily said, "Let's go to the supermarket first." ”…… Warner Studios, Martin got a new character script from the crew, the independent director's setting has not changed, and the plot has not changed much from before.
It's all large-scale dramas. One of the things he cares about the most is that the actor didn't mess around for the director. The two characters just stayed at the stage of mouthing cannons.
Filming will begin soon, and Martin will be on the set next week. Playing a crazy sand sculpture director is somewhat difficult.
Martin went to the library again, took out his notebook, looked through the relevant notes, and made additions again.
Although he has a lot of dealings with directors, there is a huge difference in thinking between American and Chinese directors, and Martin regards Benjamin more as a blueprint.
Then add the script setting. This role is gradually becoming clear, a new handsome director who is not mainstream, became famous at a young age, is cynical, and his works are full of artistic style.
After dinner, Martin drove back to the apartment. Walking up the stairs to the second floor, just turning into the hallway, the door to the apartment on the left creaked open, and Emily, wearing low-waisted jeans, walked out with a bag in one hand and car keys in the other.
When she saw Martin, she smiled: "Martin, just came back?" Martin nodded and asked casually, "Out?" ”
"Go out and buy something." Emily and Martin staggered by, their fingers loosened, and the car keys fell to the ground.
She let out a deliberate exclamation, catching a glimpse of Martin turning around and quickly bending down to pick up the car keys. Low-rise jeans fall even lower, covering only half of it.
The moment Martin turned around, he saw a black high-slit T-K. Deep in the Great Rift Valley.
Then Martin turned around, walked to the door as if nothing had happened, pulled out the key to open the door, as if he had seen nothing, entered the house, and locked the door.
And he brought the bat and put it as far as he could reach. Men must protect themselves outside! This is a wise quote summed up from countless bloody lessons.
Martin opened the refrigerator, took a glass of ice water, and poured it into his stomach.
"What do you want to do?" He is indeed outstanding in appearance, but he is not so good as a woman. Martin thinks about Kelly and Louise, the two prodigals, how hard it took him to actually build a relationship.
After calming down for a moment, Martin called Kelly and Louise respectively, then turned on his laptop, connected Kelly and Louise, and video chatted.
Nothing special, Martin talked about the crew of "Star Buddies", and Louise fully agreed with Thomas, joining the Screen Actors Guild is the basis for getting important roles.
