America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 266 The Bastard's Bad Trick

In the studio, Chad pressed the remote control and a clip of Bruce Lee's old action movies played on the TV screen, specifically for Martin to watch and learn.

In the film, the hero Eddie learned fighting by himself, mainly from learning and imitating action movies.

Martin always takes his work seriously and looks at things very carefully.

Chad said: "His moves are fast, accurate and ruthless. He can knock down his opponents directly. He is absolutely fierce and powerful."

Martin had studied Jeet Kune Do when he was a stuntman in his previous life. He read it carefully and said, "Give it a try."

The two had already changed into their training clothes and came to the thick matted venue. Chad emphasized: "Let's go slow first, get familiar with the routine, and then go fast."

Martin nodded: "No problem."

The two of them practiced their movements as if in slow motion.

After all, filming a movie is not actual combat. Even if the fighting mode is fist-to-flesh, the first thing to ensure is that it still looks cool and handsome.

If the action scenes really turn into a fight between two turtle fists, the audience will be drooling all over the screen.

Chad's action design style is also close to actual combat.

The two of them practiced their movements throughout the morning.

Before noon, after taking a shower and changing clothes, Martin and Chad went to the Smoke House opposite the Warner Studios for dinner.

After Martin ordered his food, he found that he knew the people at the next table.

The girl who had two dimples when she smiled was looking at him.

Martin nodded actively: "Good afternoon, Mia."

Mia, a waitress at the studio's soda shop and also an actress, quickly responded: "Hello, Martin."

Then she introduced the man sitting opposite her: "This is Sebastian, a pianist."

Martin said, "I know you."

Sebastian stood up and bowed slightly: "Mr. Davis, you have sent me flowers several times."

The other person was the restaurant's pianist. On several occasions, Martin came to dine with his female companions. When he was in a good mood, he would spend money to buy a bouquet of flowers and have someone send it over.

It is used all over the world, and pianists can get commissions for delivering flowers.

"You guys continue." Martin stopped disturbing them and turned back to continue chatting with Chad about work.

In addition to close combat, the film also involves gunfights.

The meal came and the two talked while eating.

Chad still holds the same view as before: "Smart drugs improve the protagonist's learning ability, and the use of guns is also learned from movies. I will select some real-life gunfight movie clips later, and then you can imitate them."

Martin reminded: "Don't make the gunfight scene too intense. It's just a supporting role. Don't steal the show."

Chad knew this: "I understand."

After lunch and a short rest, Martin changed crews.

"The Departed" has entered post-production at Warner Bros. Studios, and Scorsese wants several leading actors to re-dub some shots.

When he arrived at the studio, Martin saw two bastards, Leonardo and Nicholson. He ignored them and greeted the director first.

Scorsese didn't waste any time and got straight to the point: "I asked the three of you to come here this time because most of the scenes that need dubbing are filled with swear words, especially Martin and Leo. Your swear words are not strong enough."

Martin asked, "About Fake's voice acting?"

Scorsese nodded: "Whether you are sending Cleo or Leo is sending you, you both lack the power of extreme hatred!" He took the lead and walked towards the recording studio: "Follow me."

They entered the recording studio together. Leonardo took the lines and went into the studio first. The screen embedded in the wall played a long shot of the rooftop showdown.

Leonardo tried dubbing, and just spoke lines starting with F into the recording microphone.

Scorsese put down his headset and called out Leonardo: "The power I'm talking about is not the pitch of the voice, but the tone and emotion. These cannot be solved by glaring, frowning and roaring."

This is exactly the three-hit combo that Leonardona used when he exerted his strength.

He scratched his head: "I'll try again."

The recording started again, but Scorsese was still not satisfied and called Leonardo out again.

Although he is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio is not a very talented actor. After going through so many twists and turns, he still can't find the feeling.

Scorsese pointed at Martin and said, "Imagine him as your mortal enemy!"

Leonardo looked at Martin, still frowning.

Martin suddenly had an idea, but he didn't act rashly. He waited for Leonardo to turn to the far side of the room and whispered, "Director, I have an idea."

Scorsese knew that the three bad guys had a lot of bad tricks, but sometimes they worked, so he nodded and said, "Let's try it."

When Leonardo turned back, Martin suddenly said, "Can you do it, Leo? Your dubbing won't be the same as that aspect, will it be an 11-second man?"

Scorsese asked appropriately, "What is the 11-second man?"

Martin gestured and said, "As for men and women, you know!"

Scorsese's old face became particularly interesting. Leonardo immediately got angry and raised his middle finger to Martin: "Fuck! Fuck..."

A string of swear words came out of his mouth.

Scorsese clapped his hands and shouted, "Yes, that's the feeling!" He pushed Leonardo into the recording studio and said, "Let's start while the feeling is still there!"

If the bastard's tricks are used well, it will also be helpful to the crew.

Leonardo's dubbing was successfully completed.

When it was Martin's turn to go in, he sneered and said, "Teresa, Melissa, KK, Angela, Du Chen, these people are obsessed with you and want to know where your home is so that they can visit you. Should I tell them? At the same time, take a video and send it to Blake. It's wonderful!"

Nicholson, the old bastard, didn't forget to add more spice: "How about giving Julie one more?"

"My other crew's studio is right next to us. You're welcome to visit later and practice the action routines together." Martin entered the recording line and it took him two times to really find the feeling and complete a bunch of Fack dubbing.

In comparison, Nicholson had the easiest time because his character had fewer lines.

In all the shots in this film, there are more than 500 fathoms coming out of the mouths of this asshole trio alone.

After editing into a film, it is estimated that there will be no less than 200 of them.

By mid-afternoon, the work was completed.

Martin called Leonardo and Nicholson to a nearby studio and suggested that the former change into training clothes and exercise together.

Leonardo was not fooled and said, "Except for the water gun, I won't do any other action scenes. I don't need to practice."

Martin always exposes people's weaknesses: "That's right, when you become a greasy fat uncle like Jack, Oscar will give you a little golden man."

This remark insulted two bastards. Before Leonardo could say anything, Nicholson hit back: "Little bastard, if you keep playing like this, you won't be able to get hard again until you are thirty years old at most. By then, we will play with you while you watch and cry until your tears dry."

Martin snorted coldly and said, "You don't understand my strength at all. For someone like Leo, he has been playing for so many years and he has no problem. I am much stronger than him."

"Who said he has no problem?" Nicholson started to kill indiscriminately: "He has 11 seconds now!"

Leonardo came from behind and pretended to strangle Nicholson's neck: "I'm going to kill you!"

"Don't kill him, he still has some use for me. When I'm done with him, you can kill him any way you want." Martin patted Nicholson and said, "Old bastard, there's a villain in this movie, a big Wall Street capitalist. Are you interested?"

Nicholson half-jokingly said, "I won't do it for less than $1000 million!"

Martin gave him a middle finger: "You can go die now."

Nicholson broke free from Leonardo's embrace and asked, "Want to go somewhere to have fun tonight?"

Leonardo shook his head: "No, I need to conserve my energy recently."

Nicholson's eyes widened. "You're not going to betray the trio like that bastard Martin?"

Martin was unhappy: "How did I become a traitor?"

"You found a girlfriend!" Leonardo answered first, then explained: "I finally got back to being single, why would I need a steady girlfriend? Do you know how cool it is to have a new young and beautiful girlfriend every night?"

Nicholson said solemnly: "I know!"

When he was young, he played much more than Leonardo.

Martin was so ashamed because he didn't know that he was holding the asshole trio back.

So, work hard.

In the evening, Martin invited the two bastards out for a drink, and the three of them went to the Avalon nightclub together.

Before entering the store, he specifically asked Old Bu to get the prepared things.

Martin ordered a bottle of whiskey, and seeing Leonardo and Nicholson randomly choosing a place in the lobby on the first floor, he went over and sat down.

The three of them drank a few glasses. Martin seemed to be drunk and said, "Leo, Jack, we three bastards have similar interests. We have dug holes together and sharpened guns together. We have an undeniable relationship!"

"Ever since Warren Beatty got married and returned to his family, and Marlon Brando went to see God, I haven't met like-minded bastards like you guys for a long time." Nicholson raised his glass and clinked glasses with the two of them one by one: "Cheers to our bastard trio!"

Leonardo and Martin toasted together.

Martin added: "Since we are a trio of assholes, I will tell you a secret. Do you know why I am so strong?"

When Leonardo mentioned this, he was not happy: "He is just young and strong."

"No." Martin took out two small green boxes from his pocket and placed them on the table: "The real secret is these!"

Nicholson asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"

"A drug without any side effects, very suitable for that purpose." Since they are called the Asshole Trio, how can they not do asshole things? Martin still remembers that these two assholes asked the paparazzi to secretly take pictures of him, and solemnly recommends: "The effect is very, very good. I am the best example."

Leonardo was skeptical: "Are you telling the truth?"

Martin asked back: "My reputation has always been good!"

The two of them saw Martin's strength with their own eyes and put them all away.

Nicholson tapped Martin on the arm and signaled with his eyes: "Pete is here."

At the door of the bar, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck walked in together.
