The small studio next to the office building was also temporarily rented by the crew for the pre-training of actors.

Martin clenched his bat with both hands, aimed it at the special plastic dummy in front of him, and smashed the stick down, sending the dummy's head blooming and plastic fragments flying everywhere.

Walter, the action director, shouted: "Yes, this is the momentum!" The bat is a weapon that can be smashed out at once, and it cannot be retracted in a short time to smash the second time, and the shot must be fierce! ”

He urged Martin: "Next! ”

Martin switched to holding a stick with one hand, no longer a baseball move, but a one-handed hammer that he had practiced when he was a martial artist, and the heaviest stick head hit the plastic dummy's shoulder, shattering half of his body.

Then he turned around and picked up the baseball and smashed it across the dummy's chest, and with a loud bang, the dummy disconnected.

Walter shouted: "OK! It's fine, you've got the hang of it. ”

Martin inspected the wooden bat and it was not damaged.

Walter told the prop masters, who were watching the training together: "The bats used in the pair had to be made of soft materials to match Martin's professional movements and avoid danger. ”

Martin came over with his bat on his shoulder, and although he was confident that he could control the force, he said, "Safety first." ”

"Yes, safety first." Walter said solemnly: "The safety of the crew is very important, this involves the union and insurance, if because of your personal problems, other actors are injured, and the next time you shoot an action scene, the insurance company will refuse to give the crew accident insurance, which will lead to union intervention and the crew cannot work." ”

Martin nodded, "I see." ”

Walter added: "You rest first, and I'll discuss your weapons with the prop master." ”

Martin handed over the bat to the prop master and went to the rest area, where the agent Thomas was waiting.

Thomas still remembered: "With your skills, you should act in that Disneyland action movie, it will definitely be popular." ”

Martin didn't answer this at all, and asked: "Walter just said crew insurance, what's going on?" ”

Thomas also heard those words and explained simply: "He's talking about the crew's insurance problems caused by the actor personally, as a simple example, Nicole Kidman was injured while filming "Moulin Rouge", and the insurance company paid $3 million for the crew delay and her life insurance. ”

He was also reminding Martin: "She was originally scheduled to be the heroine of "Trembling Space", but she suffered a knee injury a few weeks after filming, and the project was interrupted for a while, and the insurance company almost paid out the total guarantee of $54 million for the film, until they persuaded the crew and Jodie Foster that the project did not go on normally, so Nicole Kidman was not treated by the insurance company, and therefore not by Hollywood. ”

"I got it, if you can use a stand-in, you can use a stand-in, and if you can avoid danger, you can avoid danger," Martin said. ”

Thomas praised his clever client: "If a stand-in is injured, it's a big deal to change the stand-in, and if you get injured, your future will be seriously affected." ”

Of course Martin listens, he's in charge of moving forward, and others are in charge of carrying the weight.

He is too familiar with this set.

Martin glanced at the folding stool in the resting area, picked one up and went to Walter to see if he could design a folding stool hammer pervert move.

After discussing for a while, Martin picked up the folding stool and picked it up, quite like the style of an eighteen bronze man.

At the door of the studio, two women in jeans and casual shirts came in.

Kelly came from Atlanta, got off the plane to see the platter's film project, and pulled Louise, who supervised the post-production of "Alexander the Great", and came here together.

Louise clasped her hands to her chest and watched Martin smash the dummy's head: "He chose the wrong role." ”

Kelly asked, "Why?" ”

"You just read the script." Louise gestured and said, "Don't you think this guy is more suitable for evolving into a murderer?" ”

Her wave of energy came up again: "The appearance is sunny, but the murder weapon is hidden inside......"

"Someone's coming." Kelly reminded her.

Thomas stepped forward to greet him and said with a smile: "Ms. Mel, I am Martin's agent Thomas, and I have always wanted to visit, but I am afraid of disturbing him. ”

Louise nodded and introduced the prodigal goods next to her: "This is Kelly Gray, the president of the largest film company in Joshit. ”

"Hello, Ms. Gray." Thomas hurried to say hello.

At this moment, it dawned on him that behind Martin Davis was not a woman, but two?

No, there's also the female King Kong I saw the other day.

Thomas couldn't help but rejoice that such a high-quality customer had fallen into his hands.

At the end of the day, Martin went to the dressing room to take a shower and change clothes, and when he returned, he hugged Louise and Kelly next to each other, and then left the studio with them.

At this moment, the man was scolding shamelessness in his heart.

But everyone envies, why isn't that person me?

After the three of them had dinner together, Martin asked, "Where are you going tonight?" ”

Louise said, "Go to you." She winked at Kelly: "Change the environment, it's fun there, and the fat landlord speaks nicely." ”

Martin said, "The last time you shouted so high, Anthony almost shot me." ”

Kelly also drank, and it was time to make waves: "Go, go together!" ”

When I came to the apartment, I saw Antonio sitting under the sun umbrella at the door, holding a large bottle of Coke and drinking it through a straw.

He took a sharp puff, and the two-liter bottle of Coke was a quarter less.

Seeing Martin and Louise, Antonio looked at the latter: "Here you go again!" ”

Louise smiled: "I'm not welcome? ”

Antonio's gaze swept over Kelly, took out a business card holder from his coat pocket, pulled out one and handed it to Martin, "You can use this one." ”

Kelly was curious and took it first: "Dr. Cole?" ”

Antonio said: "Good at treating kidney failure. ”

Louise laughed happily, smiling on Martin's shoulder.

Kelly slipped the business card into Martin's pocket: "Take it, maybe I'll use it someday." ”

Martin pulled up two waves: "Gone, gone." ”

Antonio said, "If you have your shipment, don't forget to take it." ”

Martin entered the foyer and took the courier from the mailbox, a label attached to the carton that showed that the mail was from the Clayton community.

Louise and Kelly took Martin's arm and entered the apartment.

Martin quietly left the package in an inconspicuous place.

Louise noticed, "Won't you take it apart and take a look?" Can't see the light? ”

Kelly didn't drink as much as Martin and Louise, and was a little drunk, and she was drunk: "Atlanta mailed, your old friends?" ”

"What do you want to see?" Martin asked.

Louise went to the fridge to get the wine: "Of course." ”

Martin said seriously: "Look at it, I can see what I want to charge, whoever takes it apart and I give it to whom." ”

He took the package, the wallpaper knife cut the tape, and after disassembling it, he found that it was the same as last time, and the shockproof cloth was wrapped in something.

Louise took it, opened the package, held the horn carving in her hand, her eyes sparkled, and she exclaimed, "It's so exquisite." ”

It was a blue-white carving of a cow's horn, almost identical in appearance to Martin's, except that the face was carved into the shape of a clown, and the large cracked mouth and red nose were particularly prominent.

Kelly went over and grabbed: "Give it to me!" I'll take a look, it's a nice carving......"

Louise held on: "This is mine, Martin said, whoever takes it apart belongs to whom." ”

Kelly pressed on Louise and groped her hands around: "Give it to me, or I'll make you look good!" “

Martin pulled open the box next to him and took out another one: "Don't grab it, everyone has it." ”

Kelly flipped off Louise, "You ordered it for us?" ”

Martin neither admits nor denies: "A friend in Atlanta did it specifically. “

Louise poked the engraving in her hand to her lips and said, "How about we open a plate?" About the movie you starred in. ”

Martin asked, "Bet on what?" ”

Louise said: "If the North American box office exceeds 10 million...... No, $30 million, I'll show you with Kelly. If it's less than $30 million, you show us. ”

Martin has a premise: "You can't afford to hold back. ”

Kelly was dissatisfied: "Tens of millions of dollars, are we stupid?" ”

Louise provoked: "Bet or not?" ”

Martin gritted his teeth and said, "Bet." ”

Louise was full of prodigal breath and leaned into Kelly's ear: "We'll help Martin mail some return gifts." ”

Kelly nodded repeatedly.

That night, the apartment building resounded with the singing of two people.

And Antonio's roar: "Martin Davis, I'm going to give you a rent increase!" ”

The next morning, Martin slept and didn't go to see off Louise and Kelly, but recuperated and went to Warner Studios in the afternoon to audition for another crew.

"Summer of Jeans" auditioned for a supporting actor.

Martin met Thomas and asked, "You're coming with me?" ”

Thomas identified at least three people under or behind Martin, and the level of attention was raised by one level: "I am your agent, as it should be." ”

Bruce said, "Man, you're getting smarter. ”

Martin came to the door of the crew's studio, took out his mobile phone, and called Robert: "I'll audition soon, old man, see you." ”

At the Marietta Theater, Robert took out the successful operation guide, strictly followed the recorded procedures, set up the coke, said a greeting, and said into the phone: "It's done!" ”

Martin's confidence skyrocketed, and he said to the second general, "Let's take this role!" ”

"I inquired about the shooting schedule and was able to coordinate." Thomas's salary is mainly based on the salary commission, and I want Martin to pay attention: "The maximum number of shooting days is 20 days, and the salary will not be less than 250,000 US dollars." ”

Martin nodded: "Lao Bu, guard behind me." ”

When I found the audition room, as in the past, there were many people who participated in the audition, and most of them were WMA actors.

Martin saw Joe Anderson and Mike Vogel.

This is the second time in more than a month that the trio have competed for the same role.

Bruce stood next to Martin, his eyes like radar, looking for possible adverse situations.

Thomas looked at all the auditions one by one and said, "The director and the casting director are all corporate clients, and I've done enough work for you, and you're a priority over them, and as long as you play properly, you can win the role." ”

It's all booked at 4100, and there will be a third chapter in a while.
