American Fame and Fortune

Chapter 52 The industry is too complicated

  Ford drove into the parking area, and Martin locked the car door and walked towards the studio. In this huge automobile production center, only factories converted into studios are popular.

Robert was carrying a basket of potatoes to the dining car. Seeing that he was struggling, Martin quickened his pace and went to help.

 “Huh…huh, I’m exhausted.” Robert was breathing heavily.

After putting the potatoes away, Martin brought two bottles of water over and gave him one: "What about you?"

Robert said: "Mary Jane is here, and the crew set aside time for a group photo, and they all went." He gestured to his face: "I have a big face, so I am not interested in a big face."

Hearing the word big, Martin suddenly thought of Lao Bu and asked: "Is she big from the back?"

Robert was curious: "Do you like the bigger one at the back? You should go find Kate Winslet."

 Martin said: "Man, you still understand."

“By the way, I reminded Rosa.” Robert felt that introducing Martin out of politeness that day was the root cause: “I told her that you had a girlfriend.”

I didn't eat at all at all that day. Rosa asked Robert on the road. Robert's old background artist, how could she not understand what she meant, and found an excuse to quickly go.

 Martin walked towards a makeup trailer: "Thanks."

The crew had not yet entered working mode and there was no one around. Martin knocked lightly on the trailer door, and Kate Winslet's assistant opened the door.

 “Penny, I’m looking for Kate,” he said.

Kate Winslet's voice came out: "Let Martin come in."

 Martin got into the trailer and saw Kate sitting on a chair reading a newspaper. He said, "A friend of mine is a die-hard fan of yours and wants to get an autographed photo."

Kate smiled: "You choose."

 Since Ruth, this has been the norm, and she always takes some with her when she goes out.

 Penny brought over a photo album and asked Martin to choose.

 Martin flipped through two pages and found a photo of Kate supporting the table with her hands and her upper body leaning forward, and said, "That's it."

Kate took it and signed it.

“Thank you, I’ll treat you to a drink when you’re free.” Martin put the photo away and planned to give it to Lao Bu.

Kate asked: "I heard Louise say that you would make a cocktail that has swelling and impact first, followed by rich and beautiful flavors?"

 Martin couldn't figure out whether she was talking about wine or something else, so he could only deal with it: "The recipe that Louise and I tried out together."

Kate is looking forward to it: “I’ll give it a try one day when I have time.”

As soon as Martin came out of the trailer, he saw Robert's big head again.

This guy was carrying two large bags of discarded beverage bottles, and it was quite difficult to walk. He shouted: "Martin, help me."

 Martin went over to take the next bag and asked: "Where to go?"

"Hush—" Robert looked around and lowered his voice: "The crew doesn't want these things. I collected them and hid them. I can exchange them for money later."

 Martin had just escaped abject poverty and knew that the poor lived a difficult life. He suddenly realized: "So, you work as a handyman on the set and only focus on food and drinks?"

Robert reminded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, walk softly, and move quickly. If other extras see it, I won't be able to do this business."

 Martin figured it out. Last time when Ma Zhen was on the set, Robert took the initiative to carry the drinks, and it’s still the case now.

The automobile production center is very empty, and there are not many places to hide things. Most of the factory buildings are locked, and only one door is broken.

 …

The crew thoughtfully left time for photos, and many people ran to see Mary Jane.

Rosa also wanted to go, but was stopped by Adam Smith.

 This is the person specially chosen by Adam Smith. They have had contact with each other before, and he knows what kind of person the other person is.

 “I’ll give you a few minutes to find a place to chat?” The blond Adam Smith’s handsome face was shining with sunshine.

Rosa stopped: "I have nothing to talk to you about."

 Adam Smith took out a notebook from his backpack and threw it to her: "Have a look."

Rosa didn't know why, so she opened it and saw a dozen pages of scripts, signed by Benjamin Galvin: "What do you mean?"

Adam Smith said: "Gray Company's new play, Director Benjamin is going to shoot a theatrical movie, I am the male lead, and the boss gave me part of the script. You should know that I am the first choice for the male lead in Gray Company's late-night drama , if you are willing, I can recommend you to play a supporting actress."

Rosa roughly read through the script and handed it back to Adam, saying bluntly: "Where to go? You lead the way."

There were too many people here to talk, so Adam Smith chose the path between two factory rooms and turned in. There was no one behind the corner, only the whistling sound of the passing wind blowing the broken glass of the factory building.

There was also the sound of rolling cans and plastic bottles.

Rosa turned around, unbuckled her belt without saying a word, pointed to her head and legs, and asked, "First up, then down?"

 Adam Smith asked Rosa to quickly pull up her pants: "Now is not the time, let's not talk about this for now."

 “What do you want?” Rosa didn’t believe that Adam Smith gave this gift for free.

 Adam Smith did not say it directly, but asked: "Martin Davis declined your offer, didn't he?"

Rosa's behavior these days is not considered secretive. She does not deny it: "He has a girlfriend."

 Adam Smith took a picture of the script in his hand and used his special move: "A supporting actress in a theatrical movie."

 “What do you want me to do?” Rosa wants to see if the transaction is equivalent.

 Adam Smith said: “Whenever you get a chance, pick up a cup or bottle that Martin Davis used.”

Rosa said: "You can go and get it yourself."

 Adam Smith shook his head: "I'm not familiar with him, it will arouse his suspicion."

Rosa asked: "What do you want to do?"

Adam Smith said vaguely: "Give him something good and help him." Seeing Rosa's interest, he further said: "You won't be popular if you play an important role in a theatrical movie. You can only go to a high-end club." For roads, or roads in the Sacred Valley, the asking price will naturally be higher. "

Rosa had no other capital but her body, and had nothing to lose except her body. She said: "Adam Smith, remember your promise, I am a poor man with nothing."

 Adam was not afraid of black people because there were a lot of black people behind him.

 The wind was still blowing in the hall, and there was the sound of rolling drink bottles.

The two men didn't pay attention and left separately.

 In the factory building separated by a wall, Martin pulled Robert and motioned him to stay away from the broken window.

After walking away, Robert lowered his voice and asked: "Those two **** are targeting you, let's go out and beat them up!"

 Martin thinks about more, such as scripts and theatrical movies.

 It was not difficult for him to think of the script in Kelly's hands.

 The industry is so complicated!

The **** started eliminating potential threats before the project was even revealed?

Martin said slowly: "If we reveal this time, will there be a next time?"

 “You know Kelly.”

"Using high-end resources for such a bad thing?" Martin shook his head: "If you use it this time, it won't be easy to use next time."

Robert is an old background artist and has seen a lot of things. He said: "Man, you don't have a big head, but you are blocking Adam Smith's way."

 “He’s taken my way too.” Martin muttered to himself and asked, “What are you doing with my used bottle or cup?”

Robert has watched a lot of movies: "There are your biological samples on them. He goes to kill someone and takes them to the scene to frame you."

 Martin looked at his big head: "I understand why your head is so big, because there is an extra black hole."

These words stunned Robert.

“It’s all my lucky stars!” Martin had already thought about it, took out his mobile phone, and called a professional: “Old Bu, I have a problem, and I need help from you stinking piece of shit.”

 “I’m not free!”

 “Don’t worry, there’s something good this time.” Martin said the matter quickly.

Bruce said: "Good deal, you wait for me to go over and find a private place and we can meet."

Seeing Martin put away his mobile phone, Robert asked: "Did you call the police?"

“It’s useless to call the police,” Martin said. “I asked a scavenger to come over.”

 While waiting, he was thinking hard, especially about the bad things in the entertainment industry, and suddenly thought of one thing, how did the big **** get in?

 Bruce arrived soon, and Martin met him in the cemetery near the production center and shared his conjecture.

"It may be very big. We will wait for the opportunity." Bruce said: "You can help me get a pass that can allow me to enter and exit the set normally."

This matter is easy to handle, Martin can easily handle it by asking Andrew.
