America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 213 It’s terrible
"The state of Georgia has introduced advantageous policies to vigorously promote the film and television industry. I have also achieved success. Naturally, the other faction will not give up this piece of cake." While Kelly was speaking, Louise took out a pink kettle from somewhere and placed it in front of Kelly, gesturing.

Kelly glared at her and added, "Tyler Perry is one of the agents they put on the table."

Martin said: "It's not just a desire for revenge, but it involves business competition and higher-level politics."

Louise answered: "Even if that black man wants to do something that has no benefits, will others support it?"

Kelly asked Martin, "Do you think he's targeting you?"

"It's probably not my illusion." Martin had mentioned the driver before, and this time he specifically brought Kelly along: "The Methodist Church is an old friend of ours."

Kelly suddenly lowered her head, bit the straw of the water bottle in Louise's hand, and drank a few sips of water.

Louise knows Martin a little bit: "If you do too many bad things, you will always worry about being screwed."

Martin did not deny it, but his statement was more interesting: "I am your man, and I will only be willing to be screwed by you."

Kelly and Louise both giggled.

The former is not only making waves, but also thinking about things: "They may use you as a breakthrough point."

Martin also had the same guess and said, "They really pick on people, and they only pick on honest people." He looked at Kelly and said, "I don't understand the business and politics of the upper class. I can only rely on you."

How could Kelly, who had been investigated thoroughly, believe such nonsense? She said, "We are still the same as before. I do the high-end stuff and you do the low-end stuff."

Martin achieved his goal and said, "How low?"

Kelly just smiled but didn't answer. Instead, she said, "We are not isolated individuals, and neither is Taylor. Without sufficient preparation and confidence, he won't make a move. Don't rush for success. You may end up getting screwed over by others if you fail to do so."

She thought for a moment and said, "You can be a bait that bites back at any time."

Martin knew what was going on: "I'll shoot you guys to cut the line."

Kelly laughed: "That depends on your performance."

"Okay, now that we've talked about the troubles, it's time to do something happy." Louise threw away the kettle, hugged Kelly, and bit her.

Kelly turned back, her eyes full of pleading for help. She briefly broke free from Louise's grasp and shouted, "Save me!"

The female president asked for help. As an American hero, Martin rushed forward regardless of his own safety even though he had just experienced a fierce battle in the afternoon.

The next morning, Martin failed to wake up on time.

Fortunately, he didn’t have any scenes in the morning.

Continuous round-robin battles are too terrible, after all, there is always one enemy that can take a break.

Martin was strong enough, but he was squeezed to the point of being weak and sore.

When I went to the restaurant for dinner, I ran into Julie.

Julie said softly, "Teacher, I have a few questions I want to ask you. Can you come to my room after dinner and teach me?"

Martin was confident at the moment and was not tempted at all. He made up an excuse: "I have something important to do in Marietta. I don't have time."

Yesterday, Lily called him and wanted to invite him to dinner.

Martin naturally agreed.

Julie nodded and said, "I'll wait for you in the trailer when we finish work this afternoon. It's settled."

Martin turned and walked towards the seafood section of the buffet restaurant, where there seemed to be oysters.

After dinner, Martin went back to rest for a while, then drove a car from the crew to Marietta.

Behind, Bruce followed not too far away.

Martin deliberately turned around twice.

Bruce didn't find the tail behind him.

It was almost time for school to be over, so Martin drove to Marietta Middle School and parked his car diagonally opposite the school gate.

Not long after, Lily came out of the school surrounded by seven or eight girls.

"I have something to do today, you guys go ahead." She found Martin's car, strode over, knocked on the passenger window, opened the door and got in.

Martin pointed to the school gate and said, "Are you the big sister?"

Lily's nose was about to rise to the sky: "Don't talk about those bitches, even those boys, I can deal with whoever I want to deal with."

"Do you have money to treat us?" Martin started the car and prepared to drive to Rosario's Restaurant in downtown Marietta.

Lily smiled and said, "I get a commission from selling stars. Those idiots with love brains will pay for it just to spread the girl's legs."

There are many cars parked on both sides of the road in front of the school.

In one of the cars, Kyle praised: "Did you see it? Isn't it beautiful?"

Sitting in the passenger seat was a black man named Shermer, an actor who grew up in Atlanta and later worked in Los Angeles. He couldn't help but say, "Her figure is no worse than Blake Lively's, and her face is much prettier than Blake's."

Kyle was angry: "Martin Davis is a bastard!"

Shermer is a black actor from the South City: "Did Boss Taylor really decide to get him?"

Kyle nodded: "Are you scared?"

"Afraid? People from South City don't know what fear is!" Shermer didn't need to make a choice. His skin color and background determined that Tyler Perry was his backer: "Martin Davis has no shortage of women. Does he really have this fetish?"

Kyle didn't know that Lily had just gotten into Martin's car. He just said, "Martin went to Los Angeles and had extremely close contact with this girl. Don't forget, there's also Blake. Taylor asked the lead actress of the Jeans crew, April, and April made it clear that his relationship with Blake was not normal."

He retracted his gaze and looked at Shermer: "Think of a way to lure him into the game."

Shermer shook his head. "I'm not in the same crew as him, so I can't talk to him. He has a friend who's black, but he's not mentally normal. He hangs around a few middle-aged and elderly women all day long..." Kyle said, "I'm not asking you to take action in the next few days. The boss will give you enough time."

"I'll think about it carefully. I can't do it forcefully." Compared to his compatriots in South City who only know how to smash, loot and rob, Shermer is much smarter.

He thought about it seriously for a while, and suddenly remembered someone: "There was someone who attended the same acting training class as me in Los Angeles and was an actor in Martin's crew. He said that he had a very good relationship with Martin. Maybe he could start with him."

Kyle asked, "Is it appropriate?"

Shermer remembered the guy's mentioned fetish: "I tried to get him into it first, he likes little girls..."

Kyle understood and warned, "Keep calm, take your time, and don't alarm them."

"I understand." Shermer looked at the time and said, "Take me to the film and television base. Lunch time is almost here. I'll go have lunch with him."

Kyle started the car and drove away from Marietta.

Shermer returned to the film and television base just in time for lunch.

He easily found the fat man Pratt in the restaurant.

The two sat at a dining table, eating and chatting.

Shermer intentionally led the topic to Martin: "I heard that Martin and Julie were together yesterday?"

Pratt said: "You have been to many film crews, and it is not uncommon for the male and female protagonists to get together."

Shermer was full of envy: "It's great to be a star. Whether you sleep with a man or a woman, you can always find the right one."

"Hey, man!" Pratt leaned back and asked warily, "You're not interested in men, are you?"

Shermer said, "How is that possible! I'm only interested in women." He sighed, "It's a pity that I haven't touched a woman in a long time since I came here."

Pratt was helpless: "Me too, Atlanta is too unfamiliar."

Shermer smiled and said, "There's an Atlanta guy sitting in front of you. I'll take you out someday if I have time."

"Okay!" Pratt said in advance, "Don't take me to that messy place."

Shermer secretly reminded himself not to rush: "Of course it's a regular nightclub."

After dinner, the two made an appointment to go out together after work in the afternoon.

…………

Rosario Restaurant.

Lily ate the delicious barbecue and asked Martin: "Are you really going to give Elena a house?"

"It's not a gift." Martin corrected forcefully: "I hired her to serve as the Saint of the Coke Cult. The house is her part-time salary for the next few years."

Lily swallowed the barbecue in her mouth and recommended herself: "Why did you choose Elena? I am younger than her and more suitable than her!"

Martin glanced at Lily and said, "Just go to school and don't think about anything messy."

Lily muttered, "I want to be a saint."

Martin casually replied, "Wait until you go to college."

"What Elena can do, I can do too!" Lily's words were on the tip of her tongue, but were suppressed by the barbecue in her mouth.

She has grown up and is no longer the foul-mouthed girl.

I also know that such people are not tolerated by mainstream society.

As for non-mainstream? Lily glanced at Martin. She remembered very clearly that Martin had discussed with Elena once that he didn't like women with tattoos, piercings, and drugs.

Martin asked, "You are good at carving. Do you want me to help you find a carving teacher?"

Lily thought about it and said, "Forget about it for now. I'll talk about it after I apply to college." She asked with great interest, "Can I go to the crew to see you this weekend?"

Looking at the beautiful girl opposite him and thinking of the perverts in the crew, Martin shook his head firmly. He also didn't have time: "I'm leaving Atlanta the day after tomorrow and going back to Los Angeles."

Lily was quite surprised: "Leaving so soon?"

Martin explained simply: "A movie I starred in, 'The Summer of Jeans', held its premiere this weekend, and according to the actor's contract, I had to attend."

This film has become very famous because of the Burbank High School incident and Martin's relationship. Lily has also heard of it: "Well, I'll tell you when you come back."

After dinner, Martin drove Lily to school and returned to the film and television base to continue filming in the afternoon.

Most of the scenes shot in the studio are interior scenes.

A small number of scenes involving the streets of New York will also be shot using the increasingly popular green screen, with the background replaced later.

At the end of the afternoon, Martin and Julie entered the same trailer, and there was another special teaching session between the teacher and the student.

Even though he was physically strong, he still felt that these women in their thirties were too scary.

During this time, Julie also encouraged Martin to call Louise or Kelly!

Martin was not confused yet and just turned it down.

As Martin prepared to return to Los Angeles, Julie also wanted to go back.

Most of her scenes were with Martin, and she couldn't film without Martin.

The two simply took the same flight back to Los Angeles.
