Chapter 96: Lao Bu is here
The audition room door opened and closed, and Adrian stood in front of the camera lens, his dark brown and almost black medium-length hair specially groomed, messy with a bit of yuppies.
Marie-Gale disliked this hairstyle as much as she hated the Beatles when she was younger. But she remained silent and said, "Let's get started." Adrian and his assistant began to play against each other.
Susan Levine remembers the actor, and Downey specifically mentioned a few words to her. The acting skills are okay, above the level line, but the good and bad are compared, compared with Martin Davis, who performed the best before, it is obviously a notch lower.
Auditions ended quickly. When the actor left, Susan once again routinely asked, "How is he?" Mary didn't like it in her heart, but she wouldn't say directly: "It's average, normal people." These words deepened Susan's approximate opinion, and she nodded slightly: "Inform him tomorrow to play Dalton." "Robert Downey Jr. had just proposed a successful marriage, and Susan was more considerate of him, and the marginal supporting role had little impact on the project.
Mary wrote it down. The auditions continued, and by the end of everyone's auditions, Jason Sean didn't show up.
Susan, the producer who was nominally third in line, but was actually in charge of the crew, directly instructed Mary: "Disqualify him from auditioning." This is the end of the audition for the role of Nick Jones, and Susan will no longer audition for someone alone.
The audition room door closes, and it's here that the casting team meets. After all the audition videos were played, Susan was a little softer and asked, "Martin Davis, no objections, right?" "The people in the casting team are not stupid, and even if there is an objection, they will not say it.
Susan looked at the time and said to Mary, "Tomorrow is the official notice." The meeting was brief, and after the meeting ended, Mary walked up with Susan and asked, "Auditions for the afternoon?" Susan waved her hand: "I won't participate, you are in charge of the other roles." "Mary has been in the industry for decades, ability is not a problem, even if there is a mind, the selected person will meet the basic requirements.
The two separated, and Mary returned to the office, found out the contact information, and dialed a phone call: "The old place at night, the person I asked you to find was found?" Very good. Thinking of the black guy with dyed blonde hair, Mary was in a good mood, and no one had worked as hard as him to help her in the past few years.
………… In the parking lot of Warner Studios, Martin watched as the police lights flashed and the ambulance arrived. The familiar fat man was carried into the ambulance by first responders.
Thomas knew: "Like a customer of the company. Martin has seen more than once on the set of "Star Buddies": "Adrian's sidekick, is it called Bonnie or Tony?" He felt that things were not quite ordinary: "Go and ask what is going on." Thomas said, "I'm your agent." Martin's words came casually: "It may be related to the audition." ”
"Don't take it as an example!" Thomas emphatically went over to ask someone about the situation, and then made a few more phone calls.
He quickly came back and said to Martin, "It really had to do with the audition, Tony got into a car with Paris Hilton's boyfriend, Jason Sean, and the two got into a verbal altercation...... No, to be precise, Sean hit Tony and was then taken away by the police, and Tony seems to be injured a lot. Martin was someone, as soon as he heard it, he decided that it was not an accident, and shook his head: "What a special volume!" Thomas didn't hear clearly: "What? "It's so competitive. ”
"Just get used to it." Thomas understood what he meant: "The actor circle is a little worse, and the actress is called wonderful." Martin mentioned Jason Sean at the time, originally to let Adrian and their attention be on Jason Sean, but they didn't expect Adrian to attach so much importance to Jason Sean.
Thinking of Adrian smiling in front of him, Martin's back was cold: "I have a sense of crisis. The guy was a scumbag, and he asked Thomas, "Adrian is highly regarded in the company?" Thomas said, "Well, he's one of the new ones. Martin considered whether to shake people, took out his mobile phone, and found that it had not been turned on after turning it off, so he quickly turned on his mobile phone and soon received three text messages prompting missed calls.
Just as I was about to dial it back, the bell rang. Martin connected, and Bruce's voice was still so ugly: "You stinky shit, when you don't look for you, you make people uneasy, and you can't get through the phone when you look for you." ”
"Because I can smell you in L.A." Martin shot back sharply: "The smell of on your brother wafted from Atlanta to Los Angeles!" Bruce said, "I'm in Los Angeles!" Martin was surprised: "What? Lao Bu, are you in Los Angeles? Bruce said: "North Hollywood Valley Boulevard, the parking lot in front of Bank of America, you don't have half an hour, I'll go rob Bank of America, and then tell those *** people that you are the mastermind behind it." Martin hung up the phone and called Thomas: "Drive, go to Bank of America in North Hollywood, hurry!" ”
"I'm not your driver!" Thomas said a word, got into the driver's seat, and pulled Martin straight to North Hollywood.
Coming to the parking lot in front of Bank of America, Martin saw Bruce at a glance. Bruce got out of a Ford pickup: "Looks like you're a good bastard." ”
"It's not like you, you need to sell your ass." Before Bruce became civil, Martin changed the subject: "You drove from Georgia?" Bruce shrugged: "After 911, the air traffic control is too strict, and it is easy to leave traces." He pointed his chin at Thomas: "Who is this?" Your new little brother? "Thomas said to his heart, where did the hillbilly come from, full of swearing, full of stench.
"My agent, Thomas." Martin briefly introduced: "Thomas, this is Lao Bu, my brother, a professional scavenger. He deliberately added: "It's not easy to deal with when you kill someone one day, just call Lao Bu, as long as you pay enough, he will help you deal with it properly." Thomas nodded at Bruce and said to Martin, "I won't bother you." Martin reminded: "There is news from the crew, notify me immediately." Thomas got in the car and hurried away.
Martin got into the passenger seat of the Ford pickup and pointed to the apartment to the north: "Go there." At the same time, he reminded: "Put your guys away, this is California, which has strict gun control, not Zodia." Bruce said: "I was stationed in California when I was a soldier, and I have both gun licenses and concealed gun licenses here, and I will not give *** a chance to empty the magazine." The car drove into the parking lot, and Martin helped carry the luggage and took Lao Bu into the apartment building.
Bruce went up to the second floor and pouted, "I thought you were living in a big villa in Malibu or Beverly, and you came to join you." Martin opened the door and said, "You can stay with me for the time being, and choose one of the two bedrooms." Considering that Louise might come back to Los Angeles to sing, after all, she found it exciting: "When the apartment building vacates, I'll rent you one." Bruce threw down his suitcase and sat down on the couch: "Aren't you going to stay with me for a long time?" Martin opened the refrigerator, grabbed a can of beer and threw it to him: "I can smell the stench on your body thousands of kilometers away." Lao Bu, there is another key question, when you go through the back door, let me listen? Bruce opened his beer and took a big sip: "Okay, I don't care." Martin also grabbed a can of beer and asked, "Why did you suddenly come to Los Angeles?" Bruce said simply: "I'm on the blacklist of a trafficker syndicate in eastern Mexico, and I'm not afraid of head-on fire, but what if I get shot?" Vincent was nice to me, and I couldn't bother him. ”
"I'm sorry." Martin understood what was going on as soon as he heard it: "My has affected you. Bruce was not polite to Martin at all: "So, I can only come to you." Martin said, "You'll be my full-time manager from now on." ”
"Listen to the high-end atmosphere and classify." Bruce asked, "What do you do in the main way?" Martin thought for a moment: "Drive, carry your bag, play with me, and keep behind me." Bruce was surprised: "I gave you Vaseline, you used it?" Martin went through Bruce's bag, intending to take out the gun: "Old Bu, do you want to see God in advance?" Bruce snorted, "God is black, and he doesn't see racists." ”
"You've come just in time, I've met a rotten man......" Martin recounted what had happened.
"Don't worry, I won't let him blow you up." Bruce sighed, "I left one muddy puddle and turned around and jumped into another." Martin looked at the time: "It's noon, let's go, go out for lunch, and take you around Los Angeles in the afternoon." ”
"To the Sacred Valley?" Bruce was actually curious: "I've always wanted to see for myself how those films were made. Martin asked, "Live?" Bruce shrugged.
The two went out and happened to meet Antonio. The big fat man rolled down the stairs like a ball, saw Bruce, and asked Martin, "He's a producer?" Bruce preemptively said, "That's right, I'm a producer in Hollywood." Antonio patted Martin on the arm: "Go to the hyena early, don't wait until you can't stand it." Martin glared at Lao Bu and looked at the landlord: "He likes fat people, so I specially brought him over." Antonio was so shocked that he turned around and wanted to go upstairs: "Don't mess around, I have a gun!" Martin said, "Who hasn't got a gun yet?" He was worried that the landlord's heart would not be able to withstand the physical pressure: "Just kidding, he's my friend, Anthony, you have a vacant house here, help keep it for him." Antonio turned around, his chest trembling, much bigger than that Jessica: "No problem, there is a vacant house, I will notify you first." Martin and Bruce went downstairs, found a place to have lunch, and went to the San Fernando Valley together.
Halfway through, Martin called Jenna Jameson, whose company had officially been established after the New Year, was filming its first film, and welcomed the two to visit.
In the soundstage of Sacred Valley, Martin and Bruce put on their crew ID and came to the filming location. Jenna Jameson herself served as the director, and when the actress was out of breath because of the long time, the director took the performance herself.
