America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 209 Female Version of Cao Ze
In late April, after Louise led the rest of the crew to Atlanta, "Wanted" officially started filming at Gray Film and Television Base.

Martin's first scene is a fighting scene, a beating scene.

In the studio that is set up as an office, each department is preparing for filming.

The actor who acted opposite Martin was a fat man with a big face and a big belly.

Facing Martin, he had a flattering smile on his face: "Hello, Martin, I'm Chris Pratt, your fan."

This sounded particularly familiar, a Hollywood actor who met a celebrity fan. Martin took the keyboard from the prop master, smiled and nodded: "Hello."

Then, I found that the fat man looked very familiar. After taking a closer look, I found that it was the young and fat version of Star-Lord.

The prop master then said to Martin, "Be careful when you pick it up, most of the keys are loose and can fly out with a slight shake."

Martin understood and responded, "No problem, I know how to use it."

After the prop master left, Chris Pratt's fat face came over and said, "Don't worry, just hit me hard with the keyboard. I have thick flesh on my face and body, so I can handle it."

Martin seemed to see the shameless self from two years ago in him, and casually replied, "Shoot as normal."

"Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem on my end." Pratt knew very well that being beaten by the male lead Martin would give the character a chance to show his face and even leave a deep impression on the audience.

He heard the assistant director asking the actors to take their positions, and he quickly said, "I'm going to get ready. Call me anytime if you need anything."

Director Leterrier looked over at Martin, who gave him a thumbs-up.

The script supervisor plays cards, and the shooting begins.
Martin left his workstation, picked up his keyboard, and strode toward the door.

Pratt stood up from his workstation near the door, blocked Martin's way, and spoke his lines loudly.

Martin picked up the keyboard and smashed it over.

Pratt cooperated with the fadeaway, buttons flying everywhere.

This was not over yet. Martin picked up the keyboard and started smashing it again.

Just like Chang Wei beating Lai Fu.

Then he threw away the keyboard, raised his middle finger to the fat boss behind him before going out, and gave him a standard American greeting starting with F.

"Very good, I passed this one!" Having passed the first one smoothly, Leterrier was in a good mood and shouted, "Keep preparing."

Pratt stood up from the squatting position and shook his big belly vigorously, causing some number keys to fall out of his shirt.

The following scenes are all set in the office.

Pratt was even more of a bootlicker than Blake Lively in front of Martin, and he was just short of taking off his pants to ask Martin if he wanted his fat ass.

In the lounge, Menez, who had just shaved his head, said to Bruce: "I feel very stressed when he does this."

Bruce put his arm around his shoulders and said, "When did we first meet? What have you done for Martin, and what has Martin done for you? This idiot can't compare to that."

Mene was much more confident than before: "Yes, we are a team!"

On the first day of filming, Martin was in very good condition, and the crew took a break around ten o'clock.

He came to the rest area, took the phone handed to him by Bruce, and looked at the text message. Louise and Kelly asked him to have dinner with them at noon.

A temporary actress who played the role of a female clerk came over.

This person has blonde hair and is quite beautiful.

Bruce was worried that Martin had forgotten, so he reminded him, "Your old partner in Zombie Gigolo."

Catherine hesitated a little, but still came over and said hello: "Hi, Martin, long time no see."

Martin remembered her, after all, they had filmed Ma Zhenxi and Zombie Dancing Male together.

He was surprised: "Catherine, why are you here?"

I remember she left with a senior executive from Lionsgate.

"I... I'm a fool, dumb and stupid." Catherine looked at Martin, who was radiant and seemed to be the core of the entire crew. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart: "The Lionsgate people tried to sow discord between us and lied to me that there was a project, but in fact there was nothing."

She looked annoyed: "I was too trusting. It was all my fault that someone provoked me to mess with you and Benjamin."

Martin didn't say anything. It might be true that the Lionsgate people lied to her, but to sow discord?

Catherine felt that if she hadn't taken that wrong step, she might have made a name for herself in Hollywood. After all, Martin, who was in the same period as her, had become a big star.

Opportunity, just one opportunity, she can take off: "I was wrong about what happened back then, I apologize to you."

Martin no longer cared about such trivial matters and waved his hand: "What's past is past."

Catherine was secretly delighted and continued, "I also apologized to Benjamin. Ben recommended me to the Marietta Agency and I got the opportunity to star in this film. Martin..."

Bruce reached into his pocket, found his phone, and dialed the number.

"Do your job, that's all." Martin certainly understood what she meant.

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then said, "For the sake of our past, give me a chance."

Martin's cell phone rang, he looked down and said, "Sorry, I have an emergency call."

Catherine could only watch Martin walk away.

Seeing people getting further and further away, I felt unwilling but helpless.

The actors who were originally on the same starting line ran so fast that she couldn't even see their backs. Martin walked on the road, hung up the phone call from Old Bull, came out of the studio, and stood in the shade to take a breath.

Bruce and Mene followed from behind.

At this time, an electric car stopped nearby and a black man got off. The black man had a bald head and his head was pointed like a cone, which looked very funny.

This person was obviously coming for Martin.

Bruce didn't know.

Mene knew him: "He is Tyler Perry, a celebrity in the black film industry. His spring comedy Diary of a Mad Woman made over 500 million at the North American box office with a production cost of 5000 million US dollars."

Tyler saw Martin from a distance and came over. Before he got close, he took the initiative to extend his hand: "Are you Martin Davis? I'm Tyler Perry."

Martin shook his hand: "Hello, I'm Martin."

"I came here for a visit today, and I didn't expect to meet you." Taylor said politely: "I am a fan of yours, I really like Zombie Dancing Man, and I even visited the Beast House, and I was deeply impressed."

Martin didn't know what he was here for, so he said politely, "Diary of a Mad Black Woman, a masterpiece of comedy."

Taylor laughed awkwardly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, but I'm just showing off my black eloquence, which is nothing. I'm far worse than you. Martin, you are now the most popular star in Atlanta."

Martin said vaguely, "I was just lucky and got a chance." He asked, "Are you from Atlanta too?"

Taylor said: "I moved to Atlanta from Louisiana when I was 12 years old and grew up on the South Side."

The southern part of Atlanta is a black enclave.

Martin smiled and said, "That's amazing."

He had basically no contact with people in South City. The only person he had real contact with was Boyette, the owner of the black bar across from the Beast House, whose butt was shot by him with a shotgun and who is currently in state prison.

Taylor was a very confident man. He briefly tested Martin and handed him a business card: "We are both from Atlanta. We will help each other in the future. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate."

Martin exchanged business cards with him: "I hope so."

Taylor got on the electric car, waved, and left.

Martin asked Bruce: "People from South City?"

Bruce shook his head: "I haven't heard of him." He took out his cell phone and called Robert: "Let me ask."

After the call was connected and they talked for a while, Old Bull hung up and said, "He didn't hang around in the acting circle in Atlanta before. He wrote, directed and acted in his own stage plays. Later he went to New York to develop his career. Last year he brought a group of people back to Atlanta to shoot Diary of a Mad Black Woman."

Martin's sensitivity to South City is far beyond what normal people can imagine. People who have done too many bad things are afraid that others will use bad things to mess with them: "Let someone pay attention to him and see if he has any connection with Boyet."

Bruce called Jerome and Ivan at Vincent's place respectively.

Martin went back to continue filming. Today's scenes were all centered around him. There were no scenes with the heroine Fox, so Julie simply didn't come here.

When I got off work in the afternoon and took off my makeup, Pratt was waiting at the door of the trailer.

As soon as he saw Martin, he immediately smiled and said, "Martin, do you have time? Let's go out for a drink tonight? It's my treat."

Martin shook his head: "Not tonight, I have an appointment."

Pratt's fat face was filled with laughter. "It's okay. We can go again when you have time."

Martin nodded and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

Pratt smiled even more brightly, at least Martin did not refuse his kindness.

Martin made a phone call on the way and went straight back to the hotel where he was staying. When he reached the elevator, he happened to meet Julie coming down from upstairs.

The latter came over and said, "Teacher, I have a few questions to ask you."

Martin was too busy to do anything else, so he could only say, "Let's talk about it another day. I have something to do tonight."

Julie was very curious, but she didn't dare to ask directly.

When Martin's elevator came, she simply followed him into the elevator.

Julie made up an excuse: "I forgot to take my phone."

Arriving at the floor where the luxury suite was located, she deliberately walked behind Martin.

Turning into the corridor, the door of the innermost suite opened, and Kelly came out and smiled at Martin, giving him a few glances.

Martin quietly gave a thumbs up to indicate that he was ready.

Julie stopped at the door of her suite and peeked over there as she swiped her card to open the door. The woman with short chestnut hair at the door looked a little unfamiliar, but she had been to that room before. It was the suite where Louise Mayer stayed.

The door opened and Julie went back to her room. The last thing she saw was the woman kissing Martin passionately and then going into Louise's room together.

Julie leaned against the wall by the door, put her hand to her chest, and let out a breath, her chest rising and falling violently.

At this moment, she felt that Martin was extremely charming!
After Martin broke up with Anne Hathaway and became a bachelor, in Jolie's eyes, his masculine charm was lost by more than half. Later, he put on the shell of a teacher and a student, and his charm increased again.

Now, Martin has two female companions, one of whom is her old friend Louise!

Julie's legs began to tremble with excitement.

Bachelor men are nothing in her eyes. She prefers to snatch married men or men who have a regular female companion.
