America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 101 He is a good brother indeed

When the crew started filming, Martin's follower was replaced by an actor. Adrian was fired from the crew and replaced by an Australian actor named Ryder.

The interior scenes were mainly shot at the Warner Roadshow Studios, while the exterior scenes were set in an abandoned town west of Brisbane.

The crew announced that they had built a brand new town on location and created a one-to-one wax museum using wax products, and all the wax figures were carefully made by masters.

In fact, only four real human wax figures were made.

Like all Hollywood crews, once filming is finished, all of these things are dismantled and disposed of as garbage.

As for the real reason, no one in the crew, including the actors, would say a word.

There are several large trailers parked near the river beach where the town is located.

The crew was ready, and filming began immediately at the director's command.

Jared Padalecki, who plays Wade, catches the football thrown by Mene and yells, "Dalton!"

Reid put down the camera, jumped up, caught the football, and threw it back to Mene.

"Nick!" Mene threw the ball at Martin.

Martin was sitting in a chair, and according to the shooting requirements, the ball was to be thrown at his feet.

Mene's throw was inaccurate and the ball flew over.

Martin stretched out his hands, caught the ball, stood up, took a step forward, and threw the ball far away.

Mene and Judd spread their hands helplessly.

The henchman Ryder came over and said, "Boss, this is not good."

Eliza, who had been leaning against the car, strode over and started arguing with Martin.

The two of them have been acting together frequently in the past few days. They know each other's parts very well and can grasp the emotional conflicts between siblings just right, so they can finish the scene in just one take.

As long as Paris is not involved, the filming will go much more smoothly overall.

Once Paris appears, it will be an absolute disaster, with countless NGs waiting for everyone.

Fortunately, Martin and she don't have many scenes together.

There was no hero or heroine next. Eliza followed Martin to the resting area and said, "You didn't look like a loving brother when you were arguing."

Martin said: "If you get to know me better, you will find that I dote on my sister very much."

Eliza asked, "You have a sister?"

Martin said naturally, "Isn't it you?"

Eliza said, "I'll write another article later. My twin brother is a big fan of doting on his sister."

Martin removed the fallen leaves from Eliza's chair and sat next to her. "I read what you wrote about my twin brother on your blog. You portrayed me as such a good brother. If I'm not a good brother, your fans will definitely kill me."

Eliza winked at him and said, “Then you should be nice to me and act like a doting sister.”

Bruce came over at this time and handed the phone to Martin: "Thomas, I want you to call me back when you have time."

"I'm going to make a phone call." Martin got up and went to a quiet place and dialed Thomas's cell phone.

The other side immediately asked: "Are you okay?"

“I’m fine,” Martin said.

Thomas asked, "What's wrong with Adrian?"

Martin said, "How should I know? He has a mental problem. He wants to pick up girls willingly, but he has to use violence."

Thomas asked, "It has nothing to do with you?"

"Please, use your walnut-sized brain to think about it. How could a good person like me do such a lousy thing?" Martin seemed quite angry: "This is my first time in Australia. I don't know anyone except the crew."

Thomas thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case. He then said, "Adrian is a young actor that the company is focusing on promoting. This incident has a great impact on him. The resources that were originally prioritized for him will inevitably shift direction. I will work hard to get them for you."

Martin whispered, "Good thing, the more you fight for, the better."

He thought to himself, if someone needs to sell their ass, you do it.

"One more thing, there are tabloids in Los Angeles reporting that you and Elisha Cuthbert are in love. Is that true?"

"That's not true. I was indeed a little close to her." Martin thought for a moment and said, "How should I put it? We were just above friends."

Thomas said: "If there is any progress, remember to inform me."

"I understand." Martin said casually, "If you want to be a star, you don't have to have a private life. When you climb up, you have to expose everything."

After hanging up the phone and going back, Eliza was not there, so Martin asked Bruce, "How's the progress over there?"

"Not very good." Bruce said, "She said she was just a follower and not as good as me as a manager, but in fact she looked down on me."

Martin was not surprised: "I found out some information. Her father was the lawyer in the Simpson case, and her godfather was Simpson. Although she is not as wealthy as Paris, her family conditions are pretty good."

Bruce was curious: "Why is she working as Paris's henchman? Shouldn't there be better job options?"

Martin said: "She wants to be the next Paris, a socialite in the upper class."

"I see." Bruce pondered: "In addition to the Hilton family's support, there must be other reasons for Paris's current fame, right?"

Martin said casually, "A video tape." He was surprised, as if he was looking at an alien creature: "Old Bull, you haven't seen it?"

Bruce said matter-of-factly: "I don't like her type. She doesn't even have a butt. Why should I watch it?" Martin said: "It may not be accurate, but I personally feel that it was the videotapes that really made her famous. The feeling of watching celebrity videotapes and Saint Valley films is completely different."

"Becoming famous through videotapes?" Bruce jumped into this quagmire and has been researching it randomly recently. After all, as Martin's manager, he has this job and will have to clean up the stinky shit of Martin in the future.

A bastard like Martin might do many bad things in the future.

Bruce looked around and saw that there was no one else in the lounge, so he said, "How about I practice with this?"

Martin didn't understand: "What?"

"The way of civilized people is not suitable for Hollywood most of the time." Bruce simply explained: "Just like you can't throw that rotten thing into a no-man's land to feed the saltwater crocodiles, I can't think about things with the mindset of a gangster scavenger anymore."

Martin gave a thumbs up and said, "Congratulations, Old Bull. You are starting to evolve."

Bruce said: "Your example is so powerful that it has forced a civilized person like me to get used to doing bad things."

The two continued discussing this for a while until Eliza returned from the trailer and changed the subject.

Soon it was Martin and Eliza's turn. They put on makeup and came in front of the camera to continue their performance.

Because of the Adrian incident, Susan Levine strengthened the management of the crew. No one wanted to anger the producer at this time. For several consecutive days of filming, the crew was quite calm.

Susan's face was darker than Mene's, and even Martin, who was used to trying to get close to people, stayed away from her for the time being.

In a blink of an eye, it was Friday. While everyone else was filming, action director Gerdes called the two pairs of twins to a flat ground to rehearse some action scenes.

Gerdes asked Martin: "Can you use a crossbow?"

Martin took the props from the prop master: "I have used it."

As he spoke, he easily drew the bowstring, put on the crew's rubber-tipped arrow, aimed at a tree, and shot an arrow.

The crossbow arm was very soft, the arrow was very light, and it had no accuracy at all when shot.

Martin also told the prop master next to him: "I also want to hunt a big kangaroo."

Eliza came over with a bat and said, "Kangaroos are cute, why do we have to hunt them?"

What flashed through Martin's mind was the image of a kangaroo beating someone up like a boxer.

Brian Holt, who plays the villain twins, has been to Australia many times and specifically reminds people: "If you encounter a big kangaroo, it is best to stay away from it. They have a bad temper and are very good at fighting."

The action director, Gerdes, who was a big guy, said, "Don't worry, guys. If a kangaroo comes, I will beat it into a pig's head."

Under his direction, the two pairs of twins rehearsed action scenes.

This is not an action movie and there are no difficult moves. For actors who have undergone professional body training, it is not particularly difficult to handle it.

The crew's temporary residence was a river beach. The river was very shallow and the pebbles on the riverbed could be seen from a distance.

After the training, the crew was still filming. Martin pointed to the upper reaches of the river beach and asked Eliza: "Shall we go take a look? Yesterday, Old Bull and I took a walk around and the scenery was nice."

Eliza responded, "Okay."

Martin returned to the rest area, got his bag, put two bottles of water in it, and took out the mosquito repellent: "Spray some."

Eliza sniffed it.

Martin said: "It is extracted from pure natural plant essences and is absolutely environmentally friendly."

Eliza took it, sprayed some on herself first, then on Martin, and gave it back to him, swimming up first: “Hurry up.”

Martin followed and warned: "Be careful of the slippery stones under your feet."

After walking a few hundred meters, the river becomes wider and shallower, and many large rocks protrude from the river like piers.

Martin pointed to the tallest and largest piece: "Where should we go?"

Eliza rushed ahead and turned back to shout to Martin: "Let's see who gets there first. The loser has to satisfy one of the winner's wishes!"

Martin quickly followed: "Slow down."

He and Old Bull came here yesterday and there was no danger.

Eliza was skipping and jumping and walking very fast.

Martin selected some other stones and moved around in front of her.

The stones near the middle of the river are particularly smooth because they have been washed by the river water.

This was the place Martin had carefully chosen for his visit. He picked up a stone on purpose, waited for Eliza to come over, and reached out to pull her over.

The stone is not big, and two people can stand on it face to face.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Martin lowered his head and kissed Eliza. Eliza did not dodge. She put her arms around Martin's arms and raised her head.

The river was flowing, and a man and a woman were hugging each other and kissing passionately.

Martin used his strength in his hands to lift her up horizontally and put her on the biggest rock: "I won."

Eliza was dissatisfied: "Obviously together."

Martin pointed downwards: "Your feet are not on the ground."

Eliza was too lazy to say anything else. She hugged Martin's neck and kissed him.
