American Fame and Fortune

Chapter 45 The real audition

In the living room of the hotel suite, Louise put her hands into the pockets of her cropped trousers, leaned in front of the bar, and watched Martin diagonally opposite as he quickly shook the cocktail shaker.

  Before Martin came over, he specially changed into a fitted V-neck T-shirt, and his strong figure outlined perfect lines.

Kelly sat on a high stool with her arms folded across her chest. She felt that Martin’s movements and gestures when mixing drinks were more artistic and beautiful than in the House of Beasts.

 Martin took out a chilled wine glass, poured the wine into it, and folded a delicate paper airplane on the rim of the cup as a decoration: "Paper airplane, please taste it."

 Louise stared at the orange-red and translucent wine, picked it up and took a sip carefully. It was elegant and delicate, soft and refreshing.

 This is a wine she has never tasted before, a brand new cocktail.

This glass of wine alone makes tonight worth it.

 Martin did not ignore Kelly. He mixed a Caipirinha with cachaça as the base liquor and brought it over: "Kelly, this is yours."

 “Sweet taste suits me better.” Kelly took a sip.

After Louise took her second sip, she thought about it carefully, then suddenly put down the cold wine glass, used a paper towel to clean the water mist on her hands, and stretched out her right hand towards the bar: "Let me formally meet you, Louise Meyer, from Los Angeles."

This is completely different from Kelly introducing the two of them. Martin also wiped his hands and gently shook her hand: "Martin Davis, a bartender and actor."

“This is a glass of wine that will go down in the history of cocktails.” Louise drank the remaining orange liquor in one gulp: “Martin, you are a genius.”

 Martin said deliberately: "I have tried countless recipes and I'm pretty lucky."

 Louis thought thoughtfully: "So, is there any other formula? Is there anything stronger?"

 “Strong liquor?” Martin confirmed.

Louise tilted her head and looked at Martin: "Strong drinks are the best."

"It may not be to your taste." Martin changed a new cocktail shaker, poured in the sorghum red he brought, added Dongting wine and crushed ice, shook it evenly, poured it into a chilled glass, and then added fresh orange piece.

 He handed it to Louise: "Welcome to Atlanta."

“It’s called Welcome?” Louise picked up the cup. The wine was mellow, smooth in the mouth, and slightly sweet. She had never drank it either.

She was an old alcoholic, and she could tell that the alcohol content was extremely high. After one sip, her blue eyes suddenly brightened, as if water was oozing out: "The taste is a bit strange, but it is still a good glass of wine."

 Martin nodded slightly: "Thank you, it has been approved by the first customer."

 Louise is very interested in wine: "I am honored to be its first customer." She is addicted to alcohol: "What else?"

Of course, Martin had other things to say, but he didn't say this: "I've been mixing a new wine recently, but I haven't succeeded yet."

 After finishing the strong drink, Louise’s expression did not change: “We can discuss wine when we have time.”

 Martin’s brain reacts very quickly: “Every time a new cocktail comes out, there are always countless recipes to try. It is difficult for one person to make it. If Louise has time, we can try it together.”

 Louise leaned half of her body on the bar, her undulating body twisted into exaggerated curves, and looked at Martin with interest: "You have great ideas, are you willing to give up?"

 Martin understands: "Not yet successful."

 He couldn't ignore Kelly and asked: "Listen to Andrew, 'The Man About Town' is playing tonight?"

Kelly put down her wine glass: “The second cable channel, it’s still the same time.”

"A TV series? A movie? A work of your company?" Louise, an alcoholic, picked up Kelly's wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and frowned: "This is a drink, not like wine."

 Martin brought a bottle of Macallan whiskey with a higher alcohol content and poured it into three new glasses.

Kelly was talking about the movie: "Martin was one of the supporting actors in the late-night movie I invested in." She suddenly remembered the sample film she had seen: "His performance was very exciting."

"Really?" Louise was surprised and asked Martin: "Where did you learn these? Bartending, performing, and the ability to make people feel comfortable even though they know you are trying to please, cannot be learned by a poor boy from the slums. ” ˆ ˆ Martin was not surprised. With his thick skin, he was not shy and said frankly: “My father, Jack Davis, is the most versatile man in Atlanta.”

Kelly said: "I haven't heard of it."

 Louis stopped exploring and instead picked up the wine glass: "I have the final say in my life."

 Martin and Kelly both picked up their glasses, and the three of them clinked their glasses together and drank the whiskey.

 Louis took the wine bottle and took the initiative to pour the wine: "To this wonderful night."

The three of them drank a bottle of whiskey before the late-night drama started.

 Martin went to get the wine again.

Kelly walked towards this side swaying: "No, we can't drink anymore."

 “What’s a wonderful night without good wine?” Louise grabbed Kelly, and the two female drunkards fell down on the sofa.

 The latter rested his head on the former's chest, as softly as if he was trapped in cotton wool, and murmured comfortably: "Where's the remote control? It's about to start."

 Martin brought the wine and poured it again.

Two female drunkards in their early thirties and a 22-year-old male drunkard continued to drink.

Martin lay on the single sofa and raised his glass of wine to Louise: "I will do whatever the director arranges."

 Louise reached back and took out a pink kettle from the inside of the couch. The spout of the kettle was stuffed into Kelly's mouth. Kelly opened her mouth and bit the straw, sucking the water vigorously.

 She asked: "I heard that you are the prototype?"

 Martin was prepared: "A little exaggerated."

 Louise waved: "Come here, come here, it's still early tonight, sit next to me, and we'll drink slowly."

 Martin carried the wine bottle over and just sat down when two different hands stretched out one after another.

There are no special circumstances or messy things, it’s just an audition.

 …

 Early the next morning, when Martin woke up, Kelly Gray was getting ready to go out.

She was no different: "I ordered breakfast for you."

 Martin waved to her, got up from the carpet, and went to open the window: "It smells so strong of alcohol."

 Louise took out her personal business card and put it on the coffee table: "When will your new cocktail be commissioned? Call me." She glanced at Martin: "If you want to be a star, this is a required course."

 Martin has been drifting for so many years in his previous life. He has seen a lot of messy things, and Hollywood will only become more messy.

"I don't think it's right. I should be auditioning for you." He sat on the sofa and said something particularly pleasant: "Two young, sexy, beautiful, and elegant beauties, in order to get support for the film project, they did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives. Feed the perverts.”

Louise laughed happily, got up and went to the study. She quickly took out a copy of the text and put it together with the business card: "I have the power to make decisions about this small character. Take it back and study it carefully. Although last night I passed the audition, but Hollywood is not what it used to be, and the audition room routine still has to go through.”

She stopped laughing and warned solemnly: "The performance in the audition room was too poor. Don't blame me for being unkind."

"I know the importance." Martin put everything away and said in a different way: "Does the crew need extras? The community theater group I work for has low fees, is very professional, and can endure hardships."

 Louise nodded: "During the audition, you bring the person in charge here."

It is confirmed that it will be released on April 1st, and there will be a first-order lottery and alliance leader gift event. Long Xiang posted specific instructions in the comment area. If you are interested, you can check it out.
