America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 103 Kangaroos who do not discriminate

The long-abandoned town was decorated with scenery. In the cabinets on both sides of the road, the mannequins stared with empty eyes, as if they wanted to absorb souls and turn them into living people.

The crew never has to worry about people watching when filming here because there is no human habitation within a ten-kilometer radius.

There are quite a few animals, and there are kangaroos around.

Martin is warming up before shooting an action scene.

Mene looked around and asked, "Will a murderer like Jason appear here?"

Eliza was holding a baseball bat. The training and fulfillment in recent days gave her more confidence: "I'll smash his head with one club."

Martin flexed his wrist and said, "This is a good place to eliminate the enemy. If you kill someone and throw him in the woods, no one may find him for five or six years. If you dig a hole and bury him, the truth can be buried until the end of the world."

Mene automatically raised his hand: "Boss, I'm your brother!"

Director Jaume-Serra, who barely interacted with anyone except for work, called out over a megaphone: "Martin, Brian, get ready."

Martin stopped talking nonsense and walked onto the set immediately.

Brian, who was acting opposite him, said, "Hey man, hold back for a while. I'm almost fifty."

Martin nodded: "Don't worry, I'm a professional."

Having worked as a stuntman for many years, this kind of action scene is just a piece of cake for him.

The shooting of action scenes is mostly broken down into countless fragmented shots, which are then blended together through post-production editing.

The film took a whole morning to shoot an action scene that lasted no more than two minutes. This was because Martin was professional enough to let Brian do what he wanted.

Soon, the filming shifted to a gas station.

Just after taking one shot, I heard the screams of Eliza and another woman at the entrance of the town.

"Something's happening!" Martin ran over there without saying a word.

"Go and have a look." Director Zomi-Serra shouted and followed.

Others came out one after another.

Martin ran very fast. There was only one street in the town. When he passed the intersection, he saw from a distance a particularly large red kangaroo chasing Paris Hilton.

The kangaroo may be in estrus, and Paris is wearing red again...

Martin didn't care whether Paris lived or died, and yelled at Eliza: "Eliza, go away! Stay away! Don't go over there!"

Eliza was not stupid. With her small body, she could only be beaten by a kangaroo that was over 1.7 meters tall. So she picked up the baseball bat and quickly ran towards Martin.

Paris was hit by the kangaroo's "fist" while screaming and was pushed to the ground in the grass by the roadside. The big kangaroo rushed up to her directly.

Just as a scene was about to break out that no regular company in Holy Valley would dare to shoot, a hero appeared.

Mene ran out from behind a set house and shouted, "Look here, you long-tailed idiot, look here!"

He threw the football in his hand and it hit the kangaroo on the head.

The big kangaroo was hurt by the hit and jumped towards Mene.

Mene turned around and fled to where the crew was crowded. When he saw the big kangaroo, he turned around to look at Paris and used the ultimate taunt: "Come on, bastard! Are you racist? You only dare to touch white people and not black people? You rubbish, I dare to call me a nigger, do you dare?"

The giant kangaroo jumped three feet high and rushed towards Mene.

Mene ran away, taunting as he ran: "Come on! You stupid rat! Come to me and prove that you don't discriminate against black people!"

Martin then joined Eliza, and immediately pulled her behind him, shouting at Mene, "Idiot, stop talking nonsense and run!"

Mene looked back and saw the giant kangaroo jumping behind him, hooking his neck with its front legs, and kicking out with its strong and powerful lower limbs.

Fortunately, Mene was running forward and was kicked in the butt. If he had been in the front, it would have been difficult for Mene to get roles in the future.

Mene rushed out and fell flat on his face, letting out a scream.

The giant kangaroo jumped up, trying to prove that it was not racist.

"Boss Martin, save me!" Mene could only ask for help from the nearest Martin.

This sentence reminded Martin of the silly Hart from the boy band. He snatched the baseball bat from Eliza's hand and ran forward.

Eliza's eyes were full of stars as she warned, "Be careful."

This is a kangaroo, not an armed bandit.

Martin did not foolishly go past the kangaroo from the front. Instead, he took the opportunity when the kangaroo was trying to whitewash the heinous crime of racial discrimination and made a circle to go around from behind.

Menez is resisting, so he won't be killed by the kangaroo or anything else immediately.

Director Zomi-Serra, who was just thirty years old and very strong, ran past Eliza with a stage sign in his hand.

It goes without saying how important the first movie in a director’s life is.

The Big Kangaroo is not exposing Menez, but the future of Javier Serra.

Martin attacked from the rear, while Zomi attacked from the front.

Zomi, who rarely communicated with actors outside of work, nodded at Martin.

They both sped up at the same time.

Zomi rushed over, took the lead in the front, and swung the field card to smash it.

The giant kangaroo reacted quickly and blocked it with its front paws, causing the marker to break and the giant kangaroo to scream.

It kicks its legs and wants to jump.

Mene hugged the giant kangaroo's legs and pushed his black head upwards.

Martin swung the baseball bat down with a dull thud, and his hands became slightly numb from the shock.

The giant kangaroo staggered and turned back.

Without saying a word, Martin swung the bat and hit the kangaroo on the head.

The giant kangaroo fell to the ground with blood flowing from its head.

Martin dropped the bat and yelled to Mene, "Waistband."

There was a big hole in the crotch of Mene's pants. He didn't know whether it was caused by the kangaroo kicking him or being poked. He subconsciously covered his waist, feeling vulnerable and helpless: "Boss Martin..." Martin said: "Hurry up, stop talking nonsense."

Mene undid his belt tremblingly, pulled it out and handed it to Martin.

Martin said: "This thing is not dead, it may be unconscious, control it."

Zomi hurried over to help and held down the kangaroo's upper body.

Martin tied its lower limbs together with Mene's belt.

The giant kangaroo suddenly stood up, and Zomi was knocked over and fell to the ground.

Martin reached over and pulled Zomi up: "Stay away from it."

The others arrived just in time.

We are all workers, no one will say anything.

On the riverbank outside the town, people who heard the noise were driving over.

Eliza came over and took Martin's hand to look at it carefully: "Are you hurt?"

Martin smiled: "I'm fine."

Mene stretched out his hand: "I'm hurt!"

Zuo Mi said to his assistant, "Call the crew doctor."

Seeing that Martin was okay, Eliza said, "I'll go see Paris."

In front, Paris struggled out of the bushes, sat on the road, breathing rapidly.

Kim Kardashian sneaked out of a house, walked quickly to Paris, and handed her a kettle: "Paris, are you okay?"

Paris knocked the kettle away and demanded, "Where have you been? Where were you when I was in danger?"

Jin picked up the kettle and said nothing.

Paris was horrified and angry: "Is this how you work? Even if I had a piece of shit, it would still stand in front of me!"

Eliza stopped not far away, not wanting to bore herself.

Jin had endured for so long and wanted to continue to endure: "Are you hurt? I'll go find a doctor."

Paris yelled, "Get out! Get out!"

The crew doctor rushed over and found that Mene only suffered skin injuries and the situation was not serious.

Paris just fell and got frightened.

Soon, Susan Levine rushed to the set and after understanding the situation, she suspended filming today and contacted the relevant local departments to handle the aftermath.

Martin and others don't need to show up, the crew will send someone to negotiate.

Susan found Martin and said, "You handled the matter in a timely manner today. No one was really hurt."

Not only did the actors' injuries delay filming, but insurance compensation and union issues were also a hassle.

Martin looked at Director Zomi and said, "I can't do it without a director."

Zomi nodded to Martin: "Let's work together."

Susan raised her voice at this time: "That's all for today's work. Everyone go back and have a good rest. You can go to the hotel bar for a drink and put it on the crew's account."

Martin invited Zomi: "Would you like to have a drink together when you get home?"

Zuo Mi didn't refuse: "See you at the bar."

Eliza came back and said, "Paris is still making a fuss."

Martin said, "Don't worry about her. Let's go back. If Old Bull didn't have a fever, we could see him fight the kangaroo today."

After returning to the Hilton Hotel, Martin went to see Bruce first. This guy went snorkeling in the sea at the beach on the weekend. He played for too long and came back with a fever.

"The fever has subsided." Bruce's spirits were obviously worse. "Take a day off tomorrow, and you'll be back to normal the day after tomorrow."

Martin said, "You have a good rest. I will order dinner for you and deliver it directly to you."

He went back, changed into casual clothes, and went to the bar.

Zomi was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, sitting alone at a table facing the TV.

Martin went over and sat on the side. He took a quick glance and found a badge printed on the collar of Zomi's T-shirt.

Barcelona's team logo.

Martin specifically asked Thomas to collect information about Zomi and knew that he was from Barcelona, ​​Spain.

The TV drama screen showed highlights from the European Champions League.

Seeing that Martin was also watching seriously, Zomi said, "I thought Americans didn't like English football."

Martin was reminiscing at this moment and finally remembered a few names: "I am a fan of Ronaldinho."

Zomi said, "I like him too."

Martin continued: "No one combines the artistry and practicality of football better than him, his skills are superb and bring us, the fans, the greatest pleasure."

"Yes, he is a real genius." Zomi clinked glasses with Martin: "He has made Barcelona glorious again this season. Cheers to Ronaldinho."

Martin drank the wine in his glass: "I was not a Barcelona fan before, because of Ronaldinho, I support Barcelona."

Zomi is proud of the club he supports: "If you look deeper, you will find that this is a great club with fascinating culture and artistry..."

The two drank and talked about football. Martin knew very little about it, so he just played the supporting role most of the time.

The usually silent Zomi talked endlessly about his only hobby and the club he supported, from the Dream Team to Cruyff, from Guardiola to Xavi and so on.

The two even agreed that when Real Madrid visits the United States, they would go together to throw a pig's head at Luis Figo.

In the following days, Martin became the only actor in the crew who could talk with the director for a long time about topics other than work.

Even if you want to gain personal advantage, you need a breakthrough to open up the secret.
