In the shooting gallery, Martin wears a headset and holds a Beretta 92F, shooting at a moving target.

After a long period of practice, coupled with some talent of his own, he gradually practiced his marksmanship, and he could ensure that the gun was on target by shooting moving targets.

When a magazine is finished, the electronic target automatically reports the result.

Martin turned his head to look, took off his headset, and asked Bruce, "Can I officially be a member of civilization?" ”

Bruce said: "A truly civilized person must have a wealth of practical experience. ”

Martin shook his head again and again: "Am I making a film and self-defense, and fighting with others?" I'd rather be a shrunken turtle. He was still very curious: "What am I missing in actual combat?" ”

Bruce didn't speak, put on his headset, stood in front of the target, picked up his pistol, and crackled.

The same shot hit, but the number of rings was not as good as Martin's score just now.

Martin understood, and said, "Rate of fire." ”

Bruce nodded: "That's right, the speed of shooting, the real encounter, how can there be extra time for you to aim fully, often whoever shoots fast will survive." ”

Martin shook his head and sighed: "Your hand speed of being single for more than 30 years is not comparable to someone like me who has been since he was a teenager." ”

"People like you will be beaten to death sooner or later." Bruce reloads the magazine: "I'll talk to you about shooting, and you show me how many women you have." ”

Martin turned back to the topic: "Have you read the comics, can the bullet turn be realized in reality?" ”

"I've never encountered it, but it's pure, and the guidance technology should be achievable, and the cost is ...... Not cost-effective. ”

Martin returned to the target position, put on his earplugs, and continued shooting.

He deliberately increased the rate of fire.

Bruce knew that Martin was preparing for an action shootout movie, and during the shooting break, he also talked to Martin about some actual combat cases and experiences.

After more than an hour, Mene came to him.

Bruce had already booked the lounge, and the three of them went over together, drinking and chatting.

Martin took a drink to Mene and asked, "How were your two auditions?" ”

Mene's face was full of frustration: "It's all messed up." ”

Bruce was quite surprised: "Isn't there a female director of the casting crew who is fifty years old?" ”

"At first, I thought the hand was ...... No, it's the mouth to the character. Mene unscrewed the bottle, took a big sip, and said, "Who would have thought that the casting director was a lace edge." ”

Martin couldn't help but laugh: "You can't play it." ”

After getting along with Mene for a long time, Bruce gradually let go of his skin color prejudice and patted Mene on the shoulder: "It's okay, I don't have to become a sausage mouth again." ”

Mene raised his head slightly: "Boss, Lao Bu, although these two auditions failed, I still have another chance, remember the woman who soaked me in the Avalon bar?" Her name is Victoria. ”

Martin carefully recalled the night he met Anne Hathaway: "The one in his forties? ”

Mene nodded, "That's her." ”

Bruce exclaimed, "Man, it's amazing to go from being in your fifties to being in your forties!" ”

Menele laughed: "I think so too." He continued: "Victoria said she works at a film foundation and can help me introduce the role. ”

Hearing this, Martin felt that something was not right: "Is she reliable?" Not a liar, right? ”

Mene scratched his head: "Question: What can she lie to me?" ”

"Cheating money and sex?" Bruce glanced at Mene and subconsciously shook his head.

Mene spread his hands: "I don't have any money, I'm still a man." ”

Martin opened the briefcase, took out some materials, and handed them to Mene: "The project I talked about when I called you, a supporting role, a gunsmith who is good at using firearms, I have time to practice guns during this time, and learn more about firearms." ”

Mene immediately replied, "Boss, I'm fine. ”

Martin needed a brother who was resistant to lightning: "I set up a film studio, and you joined in as a production manager for $500 a week, and then you followed Lao Bu to sign up for a film studio. ”

He communicated with Mene on the phone about this, Mene has been in Hollywood for several years, and understands that there are risks, but opportunities always come with risks, and nine out of ten actors in Los Angeles want to find this kind of opportunity, and they don't even have a way.

Mene replied: "Boss, what do you say I do." ”

Martin carefully admonished Mene a few more words.

This is all too common in Hollywood, where each film has a separate accounting company, and there must always be employees of the company on top, and it is often people who are trusted and can be reused.

Martin remembered one thing: "Lao Bu, you can buy an extra batch of Coke in 03 and save it." ”

Bruce had already taken action: "I contacted Robert, and he has collected a lot of Coke from the original factory in Atlanta in '03, and the taste is absolutely pure, and he will send a batch back to him." ”

Martin reminded: "We pay for the fee. ”

Mene was very curious: "Boss, it's going to be 05 years soon, and you can still drink Coke in 03?" ”

"Special purpose." Martin had a peculiar idea: "How about we start a sect?" ”

Bruce understood Martin's nature and immediately answered, "The Mormon kind?" ”

"Mormon!" Mene raised his hands and mouths in agreement: "I like Mormonism the most!" Boss, if you are the head of the church, can you give me a high priest or a diocesan bishop or something? ”

"You two, your mind is full of rotten thoughts!" Martin was angry that the younger brothers only knew how to do bad things, and they didn't think seriously: "My idea is to set up a Coke God Cult, high priest, you don't have to think about it, I have already been selected, and the deputy sect leader is still okay." ”

Mene asked, "What about the purpose of the sect?" ”

Martin thought about it for a moment: "Coke is unbeatable? ”

Bruce scoffed: "What theory? ”

"The Coke Divine Cult is an idea for the time being, and I don't have the money and power, so I'll stay on paper for the time being." Martin decided to pass on a little bit of the secret: "When the Coke arrives, you can each take a few mentions and drink a can before you do something important." ”

Bruce said, "You're going to clean up the for us?" ”

Martin didn't bother to say more: "Let's go, Lao Bu has a treat at noon." ”

Bruce glanced at the time: "I'm not free at noon, I'm going to Kim's side." ”

Martin wondered: "Have you decided to be the leading actor?" ”

Mene didn't understand: "Lao Bu is also going to be an actor?" ”

Martin deliberately said: "The kind that will be popular all over the world in the future." ”

Bruce is an old scumbag: "I haven't thought about it yet, hang her for the time being, don't promise, don't give up." ”

Mene then said, "Victoria has made an appointment with me at noon, and I will go there too." ”

Bruce and Mene were the first to leave the club, Martin was alone, and there was no point in going out, so the club served a buffet and simply had lunch at the shooting club.

Martin took some food and sat alone in a quiet place, just as he was about to start eating, someone came up to him.

"What a coincidence, Martin." Someone took the initiative to say hello.

Martin thought back a little, remembering who the other party was, Pinto, the agent of Mike Vogel, who had dueled with the Rattlesnakes.

He nodded slightly: "Hello." ”

Pinto pulled out a chair and sat down across from Martin: "It's rare to see you go to the company lately, and Thomas hasn't helped you find a new job?" ”

Martin, of course, won't be honest with him: "There's still a film that hasn't been released, so there's no hurry." ”

Pinto came here specifically: "I have a couple of good projects on hand, not a resource for the company, and I have a good relationship with a couple of producers at Twentieth Century Fox and Universal Pictures, and their projects will be the first to accept my recommendations. ”

Martin seemed to see a hoe: "I haven't had a good rest since I photographed the wax museum, and this time is precious to me." ”

Pinto didn't give up easily, asking, "I remember when you came to the company in December last year?" By next month, it will be a year. ”

Martin's first brokerage contract was for a one-year term: "I don't plan to leave the WMA, I'm going to renew my contract with the company at that time. ”

Seeing that the other party didn't answer at all, Pinto frowned slightly, and said: "Several characters are big production projects, you really don't listen?" ”

His words became direct: "I have been in the industry for 8 years, and I have an independent office, network and resource network, which is not comparable to those small brokers. ”

Martin said that this has not been a big success, and there are more and more good people around him.

Pinto leaned in slightly and lowered his voice: "As long as you turn to me, you will be my number one customer, and all the resources in my hands will be tilted towards you first." ”

Martin looked at Pinto, Thomas is indeed a notch worse than Pinto, and the office is the most direct embodiment.

His golden partner with Thomas and the like, naturally, are.

On the other side, if it was an agent at the level of Ali Emmanuel or Jim White, Martin would have come down without saying a word.

In Martin's eyes, Pinto was not necessarily better than Thomas, and he specifically reminded: "I remember that it was strictly forbidden to poach each other within the company. ”

Pinto couldn't help laughing: "But when the client's contract expires, you can actively choose a new broker, and you will have a chance to choose next month." ”

Martin asked directly, "What's in it for me?" ”

Pinto said, "Ever heard of Fox's epic project? Regarding Jerusalem and the Crusades, with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in Class A productions, I have been friends with the producer for many years, and I can help you win the leading actor, and at worst you can get a supporting actor. ”

Martin stared at Pinto, his face full of surprise.

Pinto thought he was moved, and smiled slightly: "I can tell you in advance, the director is Ridley Scott, a first-line director, Class A production, and has the opportunity to compete for the leading actor." ”

There is obviously an element of deception in these words, Martin can be sure of this, as far as he is now, what is he going to fight with the elf prince?

"It's too big, I need to discuss it with my manager," he said euphemistically. ”

Pinto could hear the meaning of Martin's words, and when he saw him say this, he didn't force it anymore, and nodded: "I hope you make a wise choice." ”

Martin has made a choice in his heart.

After lunch and a short lunch break in the lounge, Martin waited until Lao Bu came back and went to the field to practice shooting together.

That night, he changed into his gown and accompanied Louise to Kate Winslet's pull-sheet party.
