America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 75: Crazy

In the morning, Elena had just finished breakfast when Martin, with washed hair, walked into the Carter's door on time.

Lily wanted to speak, but Martin had already raised his fist.

Elena asked, "Going to exercise?"

Martin pulled out a chair and sat down: "It's not easy to persist, we can't interrupt."

Lily suddenly asked, "Is Martin very strong?"

Elena's mind worked a little slower: "How should I know."

With a swish sound, the fork in Martin's hand pierced into the most protruding point of the round bread.

The spoon in Lily's hand fell to the ground with a click, and she quickly picked it up and continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Martin asked Harris, "How many copies did you sell?"

Harris beamed: "Six copies! I made $1200."

"Even an idiot like Lily can sell four copies." Elena was surprised: "Is this business easy to do?"

Martin said: "That's not the case. The first batch of customers were carefully selected."

Harris took over and elaborated: "Of the six people I circled, five bought it, and the other one was a passerby."

Martin guessed that the passerby must be Andrew.

Harris went back to the room, took out a bag and wanted to give Martin half of the money.

Martin waved his hand: "As my meal expenses."

Elena was never polite to Martin and took it directly.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Scott limped in carrying a cloth bag.

The four Elena siblings were staring at him.

Scott, reeking of alcohol, simply picked up a sandwich and started eating.

"What are you doing here?" Elena said in a bad tone.

Scott finished his sandwich, wiped the sauce off his T-shirt, threw the cloth bag in his other hand on the sofa, looked at Elena and Harris in turn, and said, "These are all I have."

Martin guessed what was in the bag and looked at Scott curiously.

Elena opened the bag and found six small rolls of $20 bills.

Harris asked, "Scott, these..."

Scott didn't say anything at all, he turned around and walked out, took a few steps, suddenly turned back, walked quickly to the bag, picked up a roll and put it in his pocket: "I still need to buy some wine and points."

He hesitated for a moment, then picked up another roll and put it in his pocket.

As this happened, Scott only had eyes for the dollars, and he reached out again to grab the bag.

Elena snatched the bag and hid it behind her.

"They are all idiots and a bunch of trash!" Scott limped away.

Lily ran out and chased to the door, only to see Scott walking towards the new dealers' base without looking back.

She came back with her head hung.

Elena handed the bag to Harris: “Don’t spend it carelessly.”

Martin added: "Scott didn't earn this money easily."

"Will he become a trafficker?" Elena worried.

Martin said vaguely: "No."

Elena quietly reached out and held Martin's hand: "It's not a bad thing that the bastard Jack is gone. Scott..."

She didn't know what to say, so her voice dropped: "Scott gets nervous once in a while."

After breakfast, Elena gave the car keys to Harris, and he and Lily continued to go out to sell stars, determined to sell the entire universe.

Martin took Elena to the mall to buy clothes. "Someone actually bought the rights to name a star." Elena felt it was unreal:
Martin said casually: "Even the land on the moon can be sold."

After accompanying Elena to buy clothes and having lunch together, Martin sent her to work at the Clearwater Bar and drove to the Atlanta branch of the Savannah Academy of the Arts to sit in on the language courses at the School of Performing Arts.

For the following period of time, Martin lived a very regular life and basically studied during the day.

Occasionally ask Bruce to come out and continue practicing shooting.

Not only for future career, but also for safety considerations.

In addition, Martin asked Kelly Gray to help collect information and study how Hollywood movies work.

These are what Martin lacks.

By September, Harris was enrolled in college and Elena was becoming famous in the bartending industry, with tips alone being enough to support the family.

Faced with competitors trying to poach her employees, boss Mary had to raise her hourly wage to $10.

Martin also kept busy, spending most of his time at Gray's, dubbing the first cut of "Zombie Gigolo".

He has the most scenes in the film and naturally does the most dubbing.

Director Benjamin has multiple roles. In addition to being an editor, he is also a dubbing director.

"Ah! Huh...ha!"

In the dubbing studio, a strange male voice sounded, as if he was doing something shameful: "Come on!"

After a dubbing session was finished, director Benjamin gave a thumbs up to the dubbing studio.

Martin put down the headset and came out, took the towel brought by the assistant, and wiped the sweat from his hands: "Ben, the films you directed have given me a lot of experience."

Benjamin said, "Don't be modest, you are born this way."

Martin fired back: "You are the most suitable person to go to the Sacred Valley. The Sacred Valley needs you to save it! Nowadays, the films in the Sacred Valley are becoming more and more plot-less and not fun at all."

He came to Benjamin and said, "With your talent, you will definitely become a legend and win the Best Director award."

Benjamin said, "I haven't found a wife yet."

Martin was surprised: "What does this have to do with finding a wife?"

"You don't know?" Seeing that Martin wasn't pretending, Benjamin said, "The best director winners either have a wife who plays the leading actress or a husband who plays the leading actor."

Martin sighed: "Even more cruel than Oscar!"

After chatting for a while and relaxing, Martin went back into the recording studio.

The lines written by Benjamin fit in well with the atmosphere of B-movies.

Martin got into the mood and gestured to the screen in the recording studio: "Either surrender to me, or I'll blow your head off!"

When it came to the flying battle part, Martin watched himself and Jenna flying in the air, fighting for life and death.

He has rich practical experience and can always shout the most appropriate howl at the most appropriate time.

The dubbing of this scene was finished and it was time for lunch.

Andrew ran over and invited Martin and Benjamin to have dinner together at a nearby restaurant.

While eating, we discussed the dubbing for the afternoon.

Benjamin said something: "Martin, an outstanding actor, it is very necessary to strengthen in-depth communication with women. For example, in our play, an actor has enough practical experience, and the filming of the play goes particularly smoothly."

Martin thinks that's quite right.

The three of them were discussing the serious art of film, and no one wanted to deviate from it.

Benjamin added: "If we use inexperienced actors in these plays, even if I write all the lines, will he know what tone to use?"

He praised Martin: "You are the experienced young woman."

Martin almost spit out the soup in his mouth and quickly changed the subject: "Ben, the late stage can be completed before mid-October."

Benjamin said: "No problem, everyone knows my high efficiency, the film will definitely be completed before the Savannah Film Festival."
