American Fame and Fortune

Chapter 26 Beautiful Wave

The tall brown horse was put on a special saddle. The weight of two people on its back made it slightly uneasy. Martin comforted the horse and held the supporting actress in his arms tightly.

Katherine has dazzling blond hair and is the second female lead in filming. Her appearance and figure are natural.

“You won’t fall, will you?” she asked in a low voice.

 Martin expressed relief: “Don’t worry, my riding skills are top-notch.”

Director Benjamin asked loudly: "Martin, is this okay?"

 Martin gave him a thumbs up: "No problem."

 With the director’s order, filming officially began.

 Mainly shoot panoramic and beautiful shots of two characters riding a horse together.

　　After shooting a few scenes intermittently, Martin once again put on make-up and started filming. Martin kept the horse trotting at a steady pace. The artistic atmosphere on the set was instantly high-end, reaching Cannes and Venice.

This art circus designed by Benjamin is much more than that.

 The fake horse props moved forward to the set, and Martin and Catherine switched from real horses to fake horses.

 Horses are galloping, people are galloping.

　　Martin had to perform the scene that he worked so hard to win with tears in his eyes.

　　The patting stopped, back and forth, and tossed many times. Martin was strong and it was okay, but Catherine almost vomited from the jolting of the horse.

 Finally the filming was completed.

 Benjamin's attitude towards Martin today was obviously closer than yesterday. He came over and asked, "How's it going?"

Martin lost no time in praising: "Director, you are such a genius, Ma Zhendu designed it! Fans will definitely worship you and shout to God!"

 How can an artist be serious? Benjamin shook his beard and smiled: "Worship me for finding a good actor?"

 Martin joked seriously: "Director, I am now your admirer. My enthusiasm for your worship can detonate the earth."

"In order to protect all mankind, I have to do something meaningful to prevent you from trying to take advantage of the earth." Benjamin handed him a business card casually: "This is my classmate at the Savannah Art Institute, and he is currently working as a student in the Sacred Valley. Director, producer and actress, if you are interested, please give her a call.”

Martin said he didn't know him and was helpless: "Director, I am an actor, a serious actor."

 circus is a very serious show, beautiful, romantic and full of artistic flavor. Anyone who associates it with it must have an unhealthy brain and quickly self-destruct.

 At the rest area on the other side, the male protagonist Adam Smith held a newspaper from last week in his hand and read the news about the conflict between the Free Association and the Methodist Association.

One of the pictures shows Martin Davis of The House of Beasts being interviewed by media reporters.

 Adam Smith has a bad feeling: Is this really someone who can just play a supporting role? Those who can get in must have someone behind them or someone in front of them.

When he saw the door of the makeup trailer open and Martin coming over after taking off his makeup, he stood up and took two steps forward: "Hello, Martin, it's a wonderful performance."

"Thank you." Martin smiled politely: "I watched your play yesterday. Your acting skills are superb and you are full of charm."

 Adam Smith said: “It’s just that I filmed more scenes and gained more experience.”

 Martin replied: “In this business, experience and talent are essential.”

Adam Smith added: "I have formed an actors club in Atlanta. If you want to join, just give me a written application and we will discuss acting together in the future."

 Martin understood the meaning and said with a smile: "Wait until I finish this drama."

 Adam Smith nodded slightly and said no more.

 Martin met Robert who was waiting at the rest area.

Robert returned the gun bag and several other items to Martin and said: "You just have hypocrisy written on your face."

 Martin walked towards the temporary financial office of the crew: "It's not that simple. Adam Smith hinted that I should follow him and be his little brother."

Robert followed up: "He is the leading actor."

 Martin also wanted to be the leading actor, and deliberately asked Robert: "Is there a good way to make me the leading actor in the next Gray Company drama?"

"Hell, how can I do anything? I'm just acting!" Robert was confused by the question: "I can't even figure out a line." Martin looked around and saw no one around, then said: "You managed it easily yesterday. That idiot!"

 Robert looked at the sky speechlessly, and emphasized again: "That's because he is stupid, it has nothing to do with me, I swear! Martin, you have to believe me! You must believe me!"

Martin said casually: "No need to swear, I believe it, I believe it, isn't it okay?"

Signed in the finance room and received today's paycheck. All of Martin's scenes have been filmed and he can leave the set on his own.

 Before leaving, he chatted with Andrew for a while.

 Andrew is not in a generally good mood.

 His salary at Gray Company has been upgraded one level, and he can also receive a subsidy from the Free Association as an external employee.

 After the filming of this drama, the relationship between the two took a further step, and Andrew took the initiative to tell an important news.

"A Hollywood film crew has passed the state government's tax rebate review and will be transferred from Los Angeles to Atlanta to shoot the remaining scenes next month." He received the news from Kelly Gray's assistant Ella: "A large production with an investment of 20 million US dollars. , the male and female protagonists are Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet respectively.”

 Martin had heard Jerome talk about this before and asked, "Are you sure?"

 Andrew knows much more than Martin: "A production manager on the crew is also one of the investors. He is a friend of the boss in Los Angeles. The company will cooperate with them and assist them with filming in Atlanta."

　　Martin understood what he meant: “Will some of the cast’s characters be recruited in Atlanta?”

　　Andrew nodded: “They left Los Angeles not only because of the tax rebate, but also because of Atlanta’s cheap labor and state government subsidies.”

The last time Martin invited Kelly Gray for a drink, she mentioned a friend in Los Angeles. Could this be this one?

　　Farewell to Andrew, Martin left the crew station and called Jerome at the door. After he passed, he found the $200 he had prepared: "Captain, the rest of the dues."

Jerome put it away and said: "There are not many people like you who can pay back the money in time."

  Martin said: "My character has always been guaranteed."

Jerome quite agrees: “Some people who claim to be friends owe money and then disappear.”

Martin has also encountered: "Such a rotten person should be sent to Nancheng and handed over to the old gangsters!"

Jerome packed his money and was about to leave, but he didn't forget to remind him: "Next month's dues will be paid soon. I made a lot this time, so I don't need to default on it, right?"

Although he got to know Benjamin, Kelly Gray and Andrew, it also proved from the side that Jerome is indeed relatively well-informed. Martin does not want to give up his line at this stage: "No problem."

Back in Atlanta, Martin went to the club on time to work in the evening.

Vincent is going out tonight and tells Bruce to keep an eye on the situation.

 Vincent left the club and drove alone out of Atlanta to Savannah in the east.

This is the largest port city in Georgia.

Vincent met an unusually strong woman in a private club.

“Sophia, can’t we talk on the phone if you have something?” Vincent sat opposite the woman.

“The phone is not secure.” Sofia said without any nonsense, she went straight to the topic: “Your business has been booming recently and the passenger flow has increased dramatically. How many more accounts can you do every week?”

 Vincent thought for a while and said: "$250,000."

 The customers of Beast House basically pay in cash. When the customer flow increases, people come in and out, making it easier to keep accounts.

 Sophia said: “$400,000.”

 Vincent was in a dilemma: "I'll try my best."

 In this way, the passenger flow must be increased.

  But it is necessary.

 The club is completely under his control. Vincent believes in himself more than other channels. At least there will be no problems with his share.
