America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 88 Teacher Ma (Subscribe)

At Malibu Beach, the crew rented a holiday home and the accompanying beach to film the artist's extravagant life.

At noon, by the swimming pool in the courtyard of the holiday house, Martin, wearing a pair of casual shorts, sat under a parasol, his eyes idle and darting around.

There are so many young and beautiful swimsuit actresses gathered here, all of them have good figures and good looks.

Only a fool doesn't look at it.

There will be a party scene later, and Martin and four beautiful actresses are called over by director Julian.

Julian said without any nonsense, "The focus of this scene is you guys in the swimming pool, mainly Martin and Daisy."

He designed the scene based on his own experience. At this moment, he glanced at the other three girls in swimsuits and casually named them: "You will be responsible for kissing Daisy in the front, and you will kiss Martin on the side."

The actress raised her hand: "Director, where should I kiss you?"

Julian was a little impatient: "Aren't you an actor? Do you need me to teach you this simple thing?" He looked at the other girl: "Push Martin from behind."

Finally, the girl learned from her previous experience and said, "Okay."

Julian said, "You guys get familiar with the situation here, and we'll start shooting in half an hour."

Martin is experienced in this kind of play: "No problem."

The director walked away, and Daisy specifically reminded Martin: "Don't touch my neck, I can't help laughing."

Martin asked in advance: "Anything else?"

Daisy thought about it carefully and said, "No more."

Martin, who is now known as Mr. Ma, suggested: "I have shot a lot of scenes like this. I will control the rhythm and you can follow my pace."

Daisy said, “Okay.”

The crew quickly got ready, and with Julian's order, all departments of the crew began to operate efficiently.

The artistic atmosphere on the set suddenly rose, and Cannes and Venice seemed to be beckoning.

Martin was very professional and used the breath freshener again.

As the scene notes were recorded, filming officially began.

Martin followed the instructions and came out of the villa, like a playboy, dancing closely with the three girls, hugging the two new girls, and came to the swimming pool.

Director Julian called out, “Pass!”

Martin kept his eyes fixed on the flashing car lights to maintain his passion.

Julian found that the actor was in good form, portraying the art director’s playboy character extremely well.

He urged: "Get ready to shoot the next one."

Daisy and three others went down into the swimming pool.

The shooting started again, Martin jumped up, jumped into the swimming pool, and threw himself between Daisy and the other four.

The four men immediately surrounded Martin. Martin turned to Daisy, grabbed her long legs, pulled her over and stuck close to her.

The powerful movement made Daisy scream, and her body and expression stiffened instantly.

As expected, the director called for a stop.

Martin asked quietly, "Is there a problem? Tell me what's wrong."

Daisy said: "You... are too strong. No, it has nothing to do with you. It's my problem. The accident affected me."

Martin noticed her eyes were dropping downwards. For the sake of the shooting, he didn’t mind sacrificing himself for art. He hesitated for a moment and said, “Daisy, if you don’t mind and it will help you, you can familiarize yourself with it in advance.”

"Really?" Daisy saw Martin agreed and reached out her hand to Martin's abdominal muscles.

After a while, Martin climbed out of the swimming pool and went to the dressing room next door to dry the water off his body, touch up his makeup and change into a new pair of swimming trunks.

The shooting went very smoothly this time, with the five people entangled in a ball.

After the shoot, Martin climbed into the pool and put on his bathrobe.

Daisy swam over here and offered her hand.

Martin smiled and said, "Thank you, I just did what I should do."

The crew moved indoors to shoot the next scene.

Wine bottles, cigarette butts, plastic bags, and hookahs were scattered everywhere.

Julian called Martin over and said, "You lie down among them and get physically involved with them, understand?"

"The life of an artist." Martin was very spiritual: "I understand!"

He came to the edge of the carpet, and Daisy patted herself: "Martin, you pillow here."

Martin said, "Work, sorry."

As soon as he lay down, he was surrounded by a crowd of people. I don’t know which two actresses took advantage of him secretly during the filming.

For artistic reasons, Martin endured it and did not report them.

This way, he broke free from the softness and found Thomas coming.

Thomas accompanied him to the rest area: "You adapt quickly."

Martin sat in a chair and said lightly: "It's nothing."

Thomas showed him a document: "I have obtained the relevant certificates. You go to the Screen Actors Guild tomorrow morning. The crew has sent an official letter to the Guild."

Martin said naturally, "Are you busy? If not, you can accompany me. I have a low level of education and don't understand many things. I am easily deceived."

Thomas's first reaction was to refuse, but thinking of Martin's sister Louise Mair, he endured it and said, "Okay, let's meet at the union entrance at nine o'clock."

With the relevant qualifications and credentials, joining the Screen Actors Guild still requires money. Martin paid a $3000 initiation fee and the first $116 in annual fees to officially become a member of the Screen Actors Guild.

Union officials also gave Martin a guide to collecting protection money.

For annual income below $20, the annual fee is $116 plus 1.85% of income.

It then follows a step-by-step percentage increase, capped at $6566.

It's good value for the money.

If there are problems, the union will send someone to deal with them.

Coming out of the union, Thomas said, "You got your ticket to a big role."

"Boss, you should take action." Why did Martin look for an agent? He began to give me chicken soup: "I was sure on the day I signed the contract that you were a very capable agent who could bring me a lot of job opportunities."

Thomas felt like he had picked the wrong client, but that's what a broker is supposed to do.

In the afternoon, Martin returned to the crew to continue filming.

Still in the holiday home, this time Martin will film a scene opposite the male lead Adrian Greene.

The two of them briefly exchanged scenes, sitting in front of the long hair.

At the beginning of the shooting, seven or eight beauties falling from the back acted as the background, and the car lights swayed back and forth, adding to the artistic atmosphere.

Martin lay on Daisy. "Dude, you're a star. You like my movie. What do you like? Art!"

Adrian said: "It will affect my image."

Martin patted Daisy, and Daisy pushed him up. He came to Adrian and put his arms around his neck: "You are a star, I am an artist, we are equal partners, so I will act in the role you blow!"

Adrian was surprised.

Martin tapped his chest: "You've met a good opponent!"

Adrian broke free, turning his body back and forth, hesitating for a moment: "Damn it, I'm in! I want this leading man!"

Martin grabbed him back and hugged him by the neck: "Big star, we will bring back a big award, and you will become the best actor!"

The director called out, "Cut."

Martin, this big slut, didn't take the robe brought by the crew assistant. He just walked towards the rest area in a pair of shorts, twisting his mermaid line and shaking his pectoral muscles.

Adrian frowned. He felt very bad about the scene just now. He was crushed from beginning to end.

In terms of the role, the character is relatively weak.

In terms of performance, he was completely dominated by his opponent.

There was a burst of laughter coming from the lounge, and Adrian found that a dozen sluts were sitting around the guy.

He walked towards the special resting area and asked his good friend Tony, who was also in the play, "Where did that exhibitionist come from?"

"Wait a minute." Tony was like a follower. He asked a few well-informed people in the crew. When he came back, he said, "A newcomer from WMA, from Atlanta. This is his first role in Hollywood."

"Redneck?" Adrian was from New York and had a completely different focus.

Tony took out his phone: "We are from the same agency. I'll call and ask."

Adrian looked over to Martin's side. The two were not too far apart in age. He thought their looks were not much different either, and they were in the same agency.

What was the company's idiot agent thinking? Making things difficult for him?
Tony hung up the phone at this time and said, "Rookie Thomas Ryan's people."

Adrian waved his hand: "Ignore him."

Tony nodded: "Okay, tell me if you have anything."

Adrian patted his shoulder: "Who else can I tell if not you?" He bumped fists with Tony: "We are partners."

The two had a good relationship because Tony was short, fat and posed no threat to him.

The filming shifted to the terrace, where Adrian and Martin were still acting against each other.

The more Adrian filmed, the more he felt something was wrong.

The guy who plays opposite me is flirtatious and frivolous to the core.

It's like a real-life reproduction of the characters in the script.

Acting is a very subjective thing, but when playing opposite roles, Adrian felt it particularly clearly. He was crushed to the point of being left with nothing but passive follow.

After another take, director Julian did not call it a pass. Instead, he called Martin over and asked, "Is this role suitable for you?"

Martin said seriously: "The artistic atmosphere that the character exudes from the inside out is particularly suitable for me."

Zhu Li reminded: "You did a great job in letting go of this, but a good actor should be able to control himself."

Martin immediately understood what was going on: "Sorry, director, I was too involved in the role."

"No, you don't have to apologize." Julian was very serious about his work: "You did an excellent job, it was smart, there were few NGs, it was very good."

He waved his hand: "Go back and continue filming."

In the subsequent filming, Martin restrained himself a little, after all, the director Billy he played was just a minor supporting role.

When the crew moved to the beach to shoot, several celebrities who played real people came to participate in the filming of the beach party.

Adrian's character in the series is a Hollywood star.

Martin played more of a background role.

Apart from filming, he met Old Bull's favorite.
