Marietta, Clayton Community. Fifteen-year-old Lily got off the school bus when she heard Nani, the owner of the convenience store, shouting, "There's a shipment from your family, from Los Angeles." ”

"Los Angeles?" Lily knew who had sent it, so she ran over and found two boxes, picked them up and left.

One of the large boxes was a little heavy, and Nani lent her the cart that pushed the goods, asking, "Martin Davis idiot?" Lily put the box away: "That's right, it's the idiot." Pushing the cart, I came to the door of the house, and in the yard next door to James, Hall was digging a pit in the front yard, with cardboard at his feet.

Lily asked aloud, "What else would you idiot do besides Falke Earth?" Hall still planed: "When he comes back, he will fall in and break his leg." Carter's children, whose expressions of affection have always been unpretentious, Lily said, "Dig deeper, wait for that idiot to come back, and let the earth send him!" "The boxes were moved into the house, and Lily went to return the cart, and when she came back, she unpacked it with only two things, a beautifully crafted animal tusk accessory and a more primitive buffalo horn.

There was a piece of paper in it, and by looking at the crooked letters on it, Lily knew that it was written by Martin.

Each of the four siblings has a share of the animal tusks, but the horns are the raw materials used to make handicrafts. Just give her Lily Carter alone.

Lily shook off her long legs, ran out like a fly, came to the yard, and shouted at the next door, "Idiot, don't send the earth!" Fill in all the pits you've dug back! Hall turned his head: "Are you stupid?" Lily sacrificed the big killer: "If you don't fill the hole, I'll tell Elena, what do you think she'll do?" Hale turned back and waved his shovel to fill in the holes, which he had dug too many in the yard to give to the bastard.

Fill it all in. Lily went back to the living room, took out all the horns, laid them on the table, and found a set of carving tools, wondering what to carve first.

After the engraving is done, mail it back. Lily's eyes fell on a thick, long, slightly curved buffalo horn and immediately came up with the idea of carving a horned version of an affirmative water kettle.

"I'm just a genius!" She laughed happily. ………… Los Angeles, Century City. Martin received a call from his agent, Thomas, and hurriedly drove over.

As soon as I entered the company hall, I found that there were many young men and women in their 20s, and several of them were relatively familiar, and they were obviously customers of the company.

Thomas was waiting for Martin when he saw him and beckoned. Martin went over and asked, "What's going on?" The company wants to engage in team building? Or a big party? As he spoke, his eyes fell on the young man next to Thomas, a Latino.

Thomas introduced: "This is Oscar Isaac and my client, Oscar, this is Martin Davis. Martin shook Oscar's hand and casually exchanged a few polite words.

The two are quite peaceful, because of the obvious difference in their positioning, and there is basically no conflict of resources. Martin quickly swept the hall on the first floor and spotted six or seven handsome brown-haired guys, who were his competitors within the company.

Of course, it is inevitable to take a few more glances at the young actresses. There are a few of them in excellent shape. Martin asked again: "What are the young actors and agents doing here?" Thomas simply said: "Many Hollywood film and television production companies have changed their digital management systems, and in order to make it easier for the company to recommend actors, they need to update your profile, one of which is digital photos and videos. Oscar then asked, "We are not the only young customers in the company, right?" Thomas said: "Star level is not counted, you are not really popular, you are the most valued group, the company recommends young actors to the production company, and will give priority to you." Oscar saw a female Latina actress: "I'll go over and say hello." Seeing that there was no one nearby, Martin whispered, "Which bastards are our competitors." Hearing us, Thomas got serious and quietly pointed his finger: "See that handsome blonde guy who is shorter than you?" His name is Mike Vogel, he has been a boxer, and the company has positioned him basically the same as you, and he has already starred in three films, "Skateboarding Mania", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Wuthering Heights", accumulating a certain amount of popularity. He turned his fingers slightly: "The long-haired one on the left, called Joe Anderson, has starred in "Subway Horror" and "Pulling the Revenant." On the right, the brother and sister are together, Eric Lively, and his father Ernie Lively is a veteran actor and producer in the circle, and he has a very wide connection. Martin asked, "Next to him is his sister?" ”

"Blake Lively." Thomas advised: "You can be friendly with this brother and sister, but don't mess around, their father is not simple." He looked at it and didn't see another person: "Originally, Adrian was the focus of the company's resources, and he was going to let him collaborate with Anne Hathaway on a project called "Death Party", but now there is no need to think about it. Martin nodded: "These people are in front of me?" Thomas thought about it carefully: "The North American box office of "Zombie Dani" you starred in is not bad, and you played the first male role in "Horror Wax Museum", and the upper echelons know that you have Ms. Mel's recommendation, except for Mike Vogel, several others are not as good as you." Martin glanced at Mike Vogel again and asked, "Does his agent have a separate office?" Thomas was heartbroken: "Yes." He quickly changed the subject: "If you can get the Saturn Award, your priority will not be worse than his, there is still hope for nomination, it is too difficult to win the award." As the two were talking, Jim Witt, a member of wmA's board of directors and senior partner, came downstairs to look around the makeshift video capture room and find Mike Vogel to chat with him.

Martin was too far away to hear clearly, but he could tell that he was encouraging Vogel. The image collection room shouted Martin's name, Martin tidied up his clothes slightly, entered the collection room, and took pictures and photography required to be completely without makeup, no makeup.

Martin usually doesn't wear makeup, and the shoot was done quickly. Jim Witt was standing next to Thomas, and when he saw Martin, he nodded slightly: "Are you Martin Davis?" Martin smiled and said, "It's me, good afternoon, Mr. Witt." Jim Witt said: "I met Susan the day before yesterday and she mentioned you that you did really well during the Australian shoot. Martin could tell that Jim Witt had a relationship with Susan, saying: "Susan is a very professional producer, she taught me a lot on set, and I learned a lot from this shoot. ”

"Good job." Jim Witt gave a word of encouragement and left the first-floor hall. The eyes of the others in the hall drifted over Martin.

Martin didn't seem to realize it, and he took it seriously. When Oscar Isaac finished collecting the image information, Thomas carefully verified it, and the latter sent the former away.

Thomas called Martin and went to the office partition. Martin asked directly: "How's the Best Young Actor going?" ”

"Lionsgate communicated with a few judges, and I was able to contact two review leaders through the company's connections." Thomas has done a lot of work in the past few days: "The chances of getting nominated are very high, and it is too difficult to win awards. Martin asked, "How much power does Wes-Craven have?" Thomas was surprised: "Can you get in with Craven?" When it comes to horror films, his advice is decisive. Martin shook his head: "What I want to ask is, do you have any channels with the company." ”

"I don't, the company definitely does." Thomas's words are very realistic: "But the company will not spend such important favors and resources on the Saturn Award for Best Young Actor, let alone on an actor of your level, the input is not proportional to the output." Martin thought for a moment and appropriately revealed: "I'll try other channels." Thomas immediately thought of Louise below Martin: "Call me when I need to." Martin knew he was going to be crushed by Louise's drunkard and pervert again.

Louise is like a juicer, and he is the raw material that is being squeezed. Martin exited wmA and went to the parking lot.

Getting into the car, Bruce asked, "Where to go?" Martin pulled out a pen and notebook from the storage compartment and said as he wrote, "Send me to Sherman Oakes." Bruce started the car and said, "One against two, after a long time, you will be scrapped." Martin was heroic: "What are you kidding, two more is not a problem." Halfway through, he called Louise: "How's it going?" Louise said, "Kelly and I are back, you come quickly." ”

"On the way." The car was parked at the gate of the manor, Martin took the keys and entered alone, and Louise and Kelly were sitting at the bar drinking.

The former is a cocktail of expansion screws. Martin went to the bathroom to clean his hands, came back to replace Louise, and he grabbed gin, violet liqueur, ice, lime and Gatorade to make a brand new cocktail.

"Welcome to the tasting, under the jump." Louise took a sip and said, "It's refreshing and intoxicating, it's good." Martin brought another cup to Kelly: "Taste it." Louise whispered, "Kate came to Los Angeles and started preparing for the year-end awards. Martin knew what she said to Kate Winslet: "So early? ”

"It's not early, a lot of people prepare a year in advance, and even move their families to Los Angeles for a year or more." Louise slowly turned her glass: "Kate has a friend who is engaged in fashion design, also British, named Georgina Chapman. "The name Martin knows, Weinstein's wife.

Louise's words didn't stop: "Georgina is now Harvey Weinstein's public lover, maybe the two will get married after Weinstein's divorce, she is going to have a big fashion party in Beverly in a few days, Craven has a lot of cooperation with Weinstein, I'm sure he will be at Georgina's party." She emphatically said, "Wes Craven and I know each other at best, and we can only take you into the party, depending on yourself." Martin thought about it slightly: "Try it, there is always hope if you try, but I have tried." He was undisciplined, grabbing Louise with one hand and Kelly with the other: "If there is no way out, rich woman, take care of me!" ”
