America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 104 Frequent Mistakes
In the shabby cinema lobby, the prop master handed over weapons: "Crossbow and arrows, I have them all ready."

"Thank you." Martin took it in his hand, waited until the prop master left, took off the crossbow, and checked the arrowhead and crossbow arm.

After making sure that the crossbow arrow had a soft rubber head and the crossbow arm was still too soft and powerless, I reassembled it.

Bruce, who had recovered, came over and whispered, "Is there a problem?"

Martin's voice was also low: "There have been more than one incident in Hollywood where prop weapons have injured or killed people. I don't feel comfortable without checking something that shoots at people."

Bruce remembered something: "Crow."

Director Zomi's voice came from the set: "All departments get ready."

Martin came to the studio opposite the theater door and got into shooting position.

The filming began, the door to the theater opposite opened, and Brian appeared.

Martin pulled the trigger, but the soft-tipped crossbow arrow was not powerful enough and fell off the wall without making a sound.

Brian fell to the ground.

In the next shot, Eliza joins in, and Martin picks up the double-barreled shotgun and searches Brian for bullets, but finds nothing.

The twins thought their enemy was dead and left foolishly.

Later, Eliza entered the set theater and sat among the dummies for filming.

Martin went out for some air.

The scenes in the small town have been filmed. This is Warner's Roadshow Studio, Hollywood's largest filming base in Australia.

Bruce stood under the shade of the tree and couldn't help but complain: "The scene just now was really stupid. Anyone with a normal brain would check whether the person is dead or not, and then add two more stabs to solve the problem."

Martin looked around and said, "This is really shit." But he was clear-headed: "I don't have the power. This is not Kelly's investment in "Zombie Gigolo". It's not my place to give opinions."

Bruce asked, "The director doesn't think there's a problem?"

Martin said: "Zomi is only the general director of shooting and has no power to change the script."

He looked off into the distance: "It's not that I don't want to bully, but I don't have enough status and power."

Bruce's words are very appropriate: "People like you, once you have power, will cause a lot of bad things to happen on the set."

Martin said, "Look at you and me, climbing up from the mire. Why are we climbing up? Isn't it just to feel better, more comfortable, and happier? When we are happy, there will definitely be many people who are unhappy. Their unhappiness is none of our business! Should we suffer in order to make them happy?"

He mentioned Old Bull's masterpiece: "You had a lot of fun using mortars to fight the British. Have you ever thought about the British?"

"They're all perverts, they like this." Bruce did not forget to correct: "It's a mortar shell."

He was also looking at the distance. The black man in white and the white woman in red were quite conspicuous. "That idiot Mene, is he hooking up with Paris?"

Martin said: "The two of them are almost the same root as Kangaroos, and they probably have a common language."

Bruce changed the subject: "The hunting license you asked me to inquire about is very troublesome to obtain. It takes time and requires an exam."

How can you say you've been to Australia without killing the rampant wildlife? Martin asked, "Is there no other way?"

"There are hunting tourism companies that cater specifically to foreign tourists. They have private hunting grounds." Bruce made careful inquiries and said, "Without an Australian temporary gun license, you cannot use a gun. You can only use a bow and arrow."

Martin goes hunting not just for hunting, but also for socializing: "I talked to Zomi the other day, and he is very interested in hunting."

Bruce reminded: "Your girlfriend is a vegetarian."

Martin thought for a moment and said, "This is a men's activity. Go find out how to get a temporary gun permit."

There was a restaurant on the set, and Martin and Eliza had lunch together at noon.

It's a buffet style, you can take whatever you want.

Martin carried the plate to the red king crab. Just as he picked up the tongs and turned back, he saw Eliza looking at him eagerly.

There were a lot of people here, and Eliza didn't say anything, but her bright eyes were filled with anticipation.

Martin smiled at her, put down the stainless steel tongs and walked forward, ignoring the meat, eggs and milk, and mainly took some soy products and vegetables and mushrooms.

Eliza came over with a plate of food, sat opposite him, picked up a piece of mushroom, and put it to Martin's mouth: "You like mushrooms, try lobster mushrooms, they are better than real lobsters."

Martin enjoyed Eliza feeding him with peace of mind. The vegetarian food tasted good.

Bruce was sitting at the next table at this time. One tray was not enough, so he went to get another one.

The aroma of roasted beef and mutton and the sweetness of king crabs kept wafting over here.

Martin suddenly felt that the vegetarian food was bland and tasteless, and the mushrooms and vegetables had no fragrance at all.

Eliza then said, "I'm going back to Los Angeles to attend the premiere at the end of the month. Will you go back?"

Martin heard her mention the last movie she starred in: "The Girl Next Door?"

"Yes, I play an adult film actress." Eliza said roughly: "The film will be officially released on April 4th ​​and premiered on March 9th."

Eliza had already arranged everything when she joined the crew. Martin wanted to go to the premiere red carpet, but he couldn't say for sure: "I'll ask Zomi about the specific shooting schedule and see if I can take a leave." He asked: "Can you bring someone with you?"

"I'm the leading actress, so I can bring my family." Eliza reached out and held Martin's hand tightly. "This is my first movie premiere, and it means a lot to me."

Martin held Eliza's hand in his, and for some reason, he felt vaguely like him and Thomas: "I'll try to adjust the time." Eliza grabbed his hand and kissed it hard: "Let's eat."

Next to her, Kim Kardashian was sitting opposite Bruce with a tray of food.

Bruce asked, "Feeling bad?"

Jin nodded, "It's okay, just a normal temper tantrum."

Bruce opened a new bottle of Coke: "Drink something sweet, you'll feel better."

Eliza and Martin finished their meal and left the restaurant first. The former asked, "Old Bull wants to pursue Kim?"

Bruce may have truly loved Monica, but his interest in Kim Kardashian couldn't be more obvious. Martin said vaguely: "Don't worry about that pervert, Bruce."

Eliza pointed to her trailer. "I'm going to go back and rest. You coming?"

Martin took out his cell phone: "Let me make a call."

Eliza said, "I'll leave the door open for you."

Martin found a quiet place, called Thomas, and told him that Eliza had invited him to the premiere.

Thomas said, "Go, you must go! At this stage, all occasions that can increase your exposure and popularity are very valuable to you. I will call Susan to coordinate, and you go talk to the director."

He specifically reminded: "The explosion of fame comes from enough accumulation! Leonardo, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, these people have been working in the circle for many years and have a certain degree of fame before they really became famous."

Martin hung up the phone, opened the calendar on his phone, and looked at March 3th, which was more than a week away.

He went to find Zomi-Silla and waited for a while in front of the trailer. Zomi-Silla walked over slowly alone.

Zomi asked, "What's the matter?"

Martin nodded: "I want to take a day off."

Zuo Mi invited: "Come in and chat."

The two got on the trailer, and Martin said directly: "On March 3, Eliza wants me to accompany her to Los Angeles for the premiere. It will take about 27 days to go back and forth. The premiere is on Saturday, Friday..."

Zuo Mi took out the schedule and looked at it carefully. The two of them had a good relationship and it would not affect the filming of the crew too much, so he immediately said, "It's easy. I will finish filming your scenes on Wednesday and Thursday next Friday."

Martin talked to Zomi about hunting again and agreed to apply for a temporary gun license for tourist hunting this weekend.

Then I found the producer Susan and told her personally that although Thomas had called, the agent was the agent and he was himself.

Martin had just helped the crew avoid a major accident, and Susan Levine agreed immediately.

Entering Eliza's trailer, Martin sat on the sofa chair: "Done."

"Are you ready to go?" Eliza really wanted Martin to accompany her to walk the red carpet for the first premiere of her life.

Martin said: "I can only go on Friday, attend the premiere on Saturday, and get back on Sunday."

"Great!" Eliza rushed over and kissed Martin hard. Her mood pushed her emotions, and the high emotions promoted the secretion of hormones. She bit Martin's earlobe and said, "Actually, I'm not a complete vegetarian."

Martin was inexplicably happy: "Really?"

Eliza slowly lowered her head: "Of course it's true."

Although slightly disappointed, Martin soon immersed himself in it.

Before long, the trailer began to shake slightly. Some things are particularly exciting to do on the set.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Eliza was the first to get off the trailer. She was extremely beautiful and radiant.

Martin looked very energetic, but something felt wrong. The muscles in his legs were twitching, his waist was groaning, and his stomach felt empty, like a gourd.

He had never encountered such a situation before, even when he was floating more, it had never happened.

Martin has always been in good health, and the actual fighting ability of a little girl like Eliza is not as good as that of either Louise or Kelly.

During the afternoon shoot, Martin was in extremely bad condition, making frequent mistakes and NGs.

During the break, Lian Mene came over and said, "Boss, your body is not occupied by other souls, right? This doesn't seem like you."

Martin ate two bananas and felt better. He said to Mene, "Please treat me to dinner tonight."

Mene immediately responded: "No problem, of course, I know a very famous vegan restaurant..."

Before he finished speaking, Martin turned his sharp eyes away.

Mene was shocked. What did he say wrong? He was not going to kill someone and dump the body? He was very smart and immediately responded: "Boss, I will treat you to Australian barbecue."

After the crew finished work, Martin missed the days of living and eating with Eliza, using Mene's treat as an excuse.

When filming started the next morning, the crew found that Martin was back in shape and most of the shots were passed in just one or two takes.

On the weekend, Martin, Zomi and Bruce went to a travel hunting company together. With their help, they applied for relevant certificates, took training classes and exams, and then waited for a few weeks.

Early Friday morning, Martin and Eliza boarded a flight back to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of "The Girl Next Door".

All celebrities started out by doing freeloading.
