Chapter 108: Orphans
Facing Martin, Zommy spoke as eloquently as he did to his screenwriter friend David Johansen.
"Probably suffering from a pituitary disorder or something, causing her to be in her twenties, and she still looks like a child in her late teens." "An immigrant couple adopted her, but the misfortune soon struck when a fire broke out in the immigrant home, killing everyone except the girl," Zomi recalls. Martin felt a sense of familiarity, listening and recalling carefully.
Zomi's words continued: "After many investigations, the police found that this girl had been involved in the death of an adoptive family before, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to find out her real age, she is a psychopathic adult!" "Martin has watched countless movies and televisions, and some of them are inevitably forgotten for too long, and after some retrospect, I gradually have the impression that it is a terrifying Lori with a double ponytail.
It seems that the translated version is called "Orphan's Resentment", and the character names have long been forgotten. Soon, remembering more related memories, Martin was almost certain that he had seen it after 2010.
He asked, "Zommy, are you going to make an adaptation into a movie?" ”
"There's this idea, a psychological horror movie." Zommy smiled: "I discussed this topic with David last year, I was just a director who made commercials and mV, David was just an inconspicuous one of the many assistants in Derabont, he studied screenwriting, but he never wrote a script independently, even if we made a script, the results were not optimistic." Martin, who has been in Los Angeles for a few months, nodded: "The status of screenwriters is too low. Zomi took a sip of beer: "So, I accepted the invitation of Joe Silver and Susan Levine to be the director of this film, and with this qualification, David and I will come up with a new script, and the producer will pay a lot attention to it." Martin agreed: "When "Wax Museum of Horror" is released, you are a well-known director, and then you will recommend the script, not to mention Susan, even the senior management of Warner Bros. will also watch it carefully." Zomi smiled: "I hope so, Hollywood doesn't know how many scripts, pressed for more than ten years." Martin also laughed: "I heard Susan mention that there are still scripts bought out in the early 90s in the Warner Bros. warehouse, and maybe the author sold the script and forgot about it." Zommy knows more: "It's hard to sell a script for a newcomer who is not a member of the Screenwriters' Guild for $10,000. Martin held out the bottle: "Zommi, if you have the right role for this project, we will continue to work together." Zommy touched the bottle with him again: "That's what I want to say, Martin, except for those two days during the filming, you were in very good shape, if the crew is all actors like you, the director can do too much." Martin said: "The main thing is that you are professional enough to explain the play clearly and let me know what to do." ”
"It's uncertain what the future holds for this project." Like Martin, Zomi is a newcomer to Hollywood, and his confidence is not very high: "I can't recommend Susan or Warner Bros. until 'Wax Museum of Horrors' is completed at the earliest." Martin asked, "Is the script finished?" Zomi shook his head: "David and I just discussed the story framework and direction, and he was sorting out the materials and outline. Martin said, "If I can, the script is finished, let me read it." Truth be told, Zommy, I know a few investors. Zomi has been an MV and advertising director, has enough knowledge of the ecology in the circle, and has also guessed that there is someone behind or under Martin, and said: "No problem, I will contact you as soon as the script is completed." The two of them touched the bottle again, and the wine was very cheerful.
After a while, Mene came running and said, "What are you doing here?" There are so many hot girls dancing over there, I didn't even notice during the day, Molly's body is awesome! Martin pointed to the crowd: "Man, you hurry over, it's too late to get a girl." But Mene said: "Boss, don't be kidding, if you want Uncle Mene to serve, they have to pay!" Over the next two days, the four of them tried some fun in addition to hunting.
Martin put on protection, focusing on crotch guards, and played a kangaroo boxing, the kangaroo does not talk about martial arts, and always likes to kick people with his lower limbs.
Compared with Mene, Martin is physically strong, flexible, and has martial arts experience in his previous life, and long-term fitness and exercise after coming over, and finally beat the 1.7-meter kangaroo to escape.
This thing wants to run, and people can't catch up with their legs alone. Three days later, with souvenirs such as crocodile teeth and bison horns processed by the hunting club, Martin returned to Los Angeles on the same plane.
Zommy is picked up by his screenwriter friend David Johansen. Mene, who also lives in North Hollywood, cheekily got into Martin's car.
Bruce drove the car and was still talking about Australia: "The next time someone offends me, I'll make friends with him and ask him to go hunting in Australia." Mene was cold: "Lao Bu, are you talking about me?" Martin said casually: "Don't worry, Lao Bu and I are both civilized people." Mene always felt that Martin's civilized people had a special meaning.
Martin's cell phone rang, and it was Thomas, the agent: "I got off the plane and was going back." Thomas said, "Come back and rest for two days, and I'll contact you the day after tomorrow." Martin said, "I brought you a gift, and I'll give it back to you." "Inside the company partition, Thomas is warm-hearted, bastard customers go out to film, and they still want to bring gifts to their agents, which is too rare.
In the car, Mene asked, "Boss, got a new job?" Have the right opportunity, and don't forget your faithful Mene. Martin said calmly: "I don't know where my next job will be yet." Mene sighed: "I don't want to give the old woman any more sweetness, I feel that if I continue to do it, my tongue and lips will all rot." ”
"It's better than blowing for an old man." Martin's words were a fatal blow. Mene was depressed: "In this way, Zhu is still a lucky person, at least he was not blown up." He recognized the reality: "Until the actor's income can support the expenses, I will continue to do high-level calling." "Promising job," Bruce said. He and Martin don't look down on the job, and several of their Atlanta-based friends, like Hart and Carrington, are doing similar jobs.
Arriving at the parking lot, Mene left alone with his bag. Martin and Bruce took their luggage back to the apartment building, and when they arrived at the apartment building, they saw a lump of Roshan sitting under a sun umbrella drinking ice Coke.
Antonio beckoned to Martin: "It's been a long time since I've seen you." Martin muttered, "It's a business trip." Antonio asked in a low voice, "Are you really an actor?" Gone out for so long and not coming back......" Bruce suddenly tensed his face: "You know too much. ”
"I don't know anything!" Antonio regretted very much that he didn't bring the Friendship Gun down, and quickly raised his hand: "Really, I don't know anything. Martin opened his bag, took out a "Zombie Dana" disc, and threw it to Antonio: "You're thinking too much. Antonio looked down at the disc and found that the actor on the package looked exactly like Martin, and asked, "Are you the male lead?" He saw that the cover character was only wearing a pair of short shorts that could not be shorter, and the sensitive position stood out high: "I know, you went to the Holy Valley!" ”
"It's a B-movie." Martin said simply, and took out a crocodile tooth pendant: "Lao Bu and I went to Australia to make a film, an Australian specialty, for you." Antonio took it: "Wolf fangs? I remember there were only wild dogs in Australia. "It's clear that the landlord's level of knowledge is a few notches higher than Mene's.
Martin appropriately exaggerated: "A bay crocodile tooth more than five meters long is rare." Antonio put it away and remembered something: "On the second floor, in the corridor over there, the innermost room is empty. Bruce answered: "Go up and have a look." Antonio leaned on his chair, struggled to his feet, and moved his fat body upstairs.
Martin and Bruce put down their luggage and went to the innermost part of the hallway, entering the door that Antonio had just opened.
The layout of the apartment is almost the same, with its own furniture and appliances, and Bruce can move in. After signing the contract, Bruce paid the rent out of his own pocket: "The assistant fee for the crew has arrived, and I will pay for the house I live in." Martin said: "You are my manager, and when the salary is all in the account, I will settle the manager's expenses for you." Antonio said, "Remember, no parties are allowed in the room. He reminded Martin: "The woman you brought last time screamed too loudly, next time she comes over and controls it." Martin knew he was talking about Louise, and casually replied, "The first time I came to a new environment, it was exciting and exciting, and the next time it won't be." Antonio picked up the disc: "I went upstairs to see a movie, hoping it was a good movie." Bruce looked at his big belly: "You may have low self-esteem." Antonio staggered away, went to the third floor to play the disc, and only watched the opening scene and turned it off.
It hurts my self-esteem! It doesn't matter if you don't know the actors in it, the actor is dangling in front of his eyes all day long, how can people bear it?
See an inferiority complex once? Martin helped Bruce pack up his room, went out to eat together, and when he came back, he bought a bag of express mail to send back to Atlanta with his belongings from Australia.
Most of the teeth of the bay crocodile were divided between Martin and Zommi. Of the four Carter siblings, Martin put two in a bag and mailed two each, and Lily liked to do crafts and put all the bison horns in it.
These have a full set of legal formalities. Robert and Jerome also had two each. Kelly's side can't pull it down.
Benjamin's line can't be broken either. Bruce wasn't fit to contact anyone in Atlanta, and Martin mailed one in his own name to the Dancers Club owner.
Sofia and Vincent, on his side, have been in touch, and when competing for the lead in key projects, he may be able to use the trick of bringing money into the group.
During the filming of "Horror Wax Museum", Paris Hilton's acting skills were sparse, and the crew, from the director to the producer, did not talk much.
Why? Because Paris Hilton is the representative of the third largest investor. Mail out the express, rest all day, reverse the jet lag, Martin asked his agent Thomas to have dinner together.
