American fame and fortune

The next morning, Martin received a call from Bruce, and Vincent and Sophia wanted him to have a drink at the House of the Beast.

Martin drove to Saijo Street and entered the club.

Bruce stands behind the bar pouring a drink.

Vincent took off his cowboy hat, waved to Martin, waited for Martin to sit in front of the bar, and said, "Toast to you."

Martin clinks glasses with him, and Sophia, toasts together.

Vincent put down his glass: "A very wonderful movie, a very good investment."

Martin smiled: "Boss, I am a person who knows how to be grateful."

Sophia chimed in: "You're a smart guy, too."

Martin's gaze flicked past Old Bu's face, but Old Bu didn't express anything, he just said directly: "Boss, Sophia, you are looking for me more than just buying me a drink?"

This time Vincent didn't speak, Sophia answered, "During the filming, I heard people say that you plan to develop in Los Angeles."

Martin nodded: "There is a plan for this."

Sophia motioned for Lao Bu to pour the wine: "There are many opportunities in Los Angeles. There are many film companies and crews. I heard that there are hundreds of films shot every year."

Martin told the truth: "I have never been to Los Angeles, and the specifics are not very clear."

Sophia received a notification statement from the studio this morning, and she was very satisfied with the previous investment. This kind of business is too familiar, so she and Vincent turned their attention to Martin again: "Hollywood movies cost tens of millions of dollars. $100 million investment, if you can come across such an opportunity, don't forget the old friend in Atlanta."

Hearing this, Martin felt relieved. Among other things, he was able to bring money into the team at the critical moment.

He hardly had to think about it, and his words brought sincere feelings: "Atlanta is my home. No matter how far I go, I will come back one day. Why? Here are my most precious memories and friends."

While speaking, Martin deliberately glanced at Old Bu.

Bruce had a tacit understanding and secretly gave him a middle finger.

Martin continued: "There is an investment opportunity, how could I forget you? I told Vincent that the leading actor this time is all thanks to your investment support."

Sophia toasted: "I propose, for our future cooperation, a toast."

Martin clinked glasses with her and Vincent successively, and drank the wine in the glass.

At this moment, when he came into close contact, he realized that Sophia's curved upper arm was thicker than Lily's thigh.

Martin realized something was wrong, why Lily's leg? He definitely didn't peek.

Vincent said at this time: "My most successful investment so far is to lend money to Jack Davis. This money made me know Martin."

Martin was helpless: "Boss, can we not mention Jack?"

"That old bastard hasn't contacted you all this time?" Vincent laughed rarely: "If I were you, Martin, I would definitely break his leg when I saw him again."

Martin shook his head, "Because it's not worth it for him to go to jail."

Sofia continued to let Bruce pour the wine: "Let's have another drink."

Martin clinked glasses with them again.

While Vincent and Sofia were drinking, Bruce gave him a sudden wink.

Martin understood, and talked about the so-called investment, and said goodbye at the right time: "I'm going to the Marietta Theater, and I have an appointment with the director, and I can't miss the appointment."

Sophia held out her hand: "We'll talk about it another day."

Martin shook her hand politely, as if holding a stone: "Okay."

Leaving the club, Martin went to the Marietta Theater Company, and Jerome did ask him to meet.

As soon as he entered the community theater, he saw dozens of people sitting in the theater, and there were still seven or eight standing on the stage, Robert, who was shaking his head, was directing them to perform.

Robert is a teacher...

Martin rushed to the stage to beckon, and went directly to the office on the second floor.

Jerome pointed to the opposite side: "Sit."

Martin sat down and said, "The troupe is thriving."

Jerome understated: "There are a lot of newcomers. The troupe has signed an agreement with Gray Company to use extras, and many extras are seeking to join the troupe."

Martin heard Andrew say this: "Grey's company's late-night shows will not stop, you should contact Andrew more, head."

"I will." Jerome changed the subject: "Last night, I talked to Robert Patrick on the phone and told him about your situation. He said that you can find him in Sherman Oaks when you arrive in Los Angeles."

The head of the group handed over the card with the address to Martin: "Patrick will provide you with some help."

Martin said solemnly: "Thank you, Captain."

Jerome suddenly emphasized his tone: "Martin, you are from the Marietta Troupe. Since you are going to Los Angeles, you have to work hard and don't embarrass the troupe."

Martin promised: "Commander, I will."

"I would like to thank you for everything you have done for the troupe. Without you, the troupe would not be as prosperous as it is today." Jerome sighed softly: "As the troupe leader, my ability is limited, so I can only help you with these things."

Martin wanted to invite Jerome to have lunch with him, but Jerome declined.

Go downstairs and call Robert. Robert is very busy, so I just took the time to chat with him.

"After the photo of me and the crew was published in the newspaper, a very beautiful actor took the initiative to pursue me." Robert said softly about a recent incident: "I know, she is not interested in me, but something else. "

Martin was very cooperative: "What about the back?"

Robert said: "The day before yesterday she pestered me. I bought a bottle of Coke. The Coke may have just dropped or something. I didn't pay attention. I unscrewed the bottle cap and the drilled Coke sprayed her all over her head and body. She wants to sue I."

Martin found a lawyer's phone number and sent it to Robert: "Go and consult a professional."

Robert glanced, his head drooping a little: "I don't know why, when you were in Savannah, my luck turned bad."

Martin thought of Ma Zhenxi and Adam Smith, and said solemnly: "Be patient for a while, keep your phone unblocked, I may call you anytime I go to Los Angeles."

Robert backed down a bit: "Going to Los Angeles means leaving home."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Martin knew that it would be useless to say more now: "I have an appointment with Lao Bu for dinner, if you don't go, I'll go."

Robert is a great teacher: "I am now the chief performance instructor of the Marietta Community Theater Troupe, and I have to teach these rookies."

Leaving the troupe, Martin went to the Rosario restaurant last time, waited for Bruce to come over, and ordered some Mexican food.

Bruce reminded him: "Be careful when drinking with Sophia in the future, she drinks a lot."

Martin immediately started to think: "Old Bu, you are not drunk..."

"Shut up!" Bruce didn't want to mention it at first, and it took a while to show sadness: "I didn't know at the time, I drank a few more drinks with her, and ended up getting drunk..."

Martin poured him a glass of beer: "It's really a sad story. Those who bully others will eventually be bullied."

Bruce was about to drink beer, but when he heard this, he subconsciously lifted his coat.

Martin said quickly, "Civilized man, there's a patrol over there, don't give the son of a bitch a chance to empty his magazine."

Bruce withdrew his hand: "You have good shit luck!"

Thinking of Scott, Martin asked, "How long is Sofia's interest in a man?"

Bruce shook his head: "Not necessarily, some take longer, and some get tired of it in a few days."

Martin asked again: "Worst end?"

Bruce couldn't help laughing: "As far as I know, Sophia hasn't killed anyone, the worst one is just anal prolapse."

Martin thought of some possibility: "It can't be you?"

Bruce really wanted to draw his gun: "You stinky piece of shit, I must take your head off and see what kind of dog is in it..."

Martin said again: "Old Bu, why are you so excited?"

"Yeah, why am I getting excited?" Bruce calmed down suddenly, and said, "If you encounter a bad thing that needs to be wiped, don't come to me, and I won't help you if you give me a hundred thousand dollars."

Just when the waiter brought the food, Martin said, "Dinner, I'll treat you to this meal."

Bruce changed his words again: "For the sake of your treat, I will charge double the fee next time."

Martin picked up a piece of black pepper beef: "Don't worry, when I look for you again, I'll book you a first-class flight and a five-star suite, and prepare a beautiful girl with a big ass by the way."

After the two finished their meal, Martin paid the bill and drove back to the community.

Entering Carter's house, I heard Lily shouting: "Hall, you stupid pig, come here and see if I am taller than Elena."

Lily, who was barefoot, stood beside Elena and gestured with her hand: "I'm really taller than you."

She saw Martin: "Look, don't you?"

Martin chews gum and sits on the armchair.

Elena didn't bother to talk to her, picked up two magazines and went to the single sofa and sat on the armrest beside him.

Lily put her hands behind her back and said seriously: "Elena, I'm taller than you, you can't touch me casually from now on..."

Before she finished speaking, the magazine in Elena's hand flew out and hit her face.

Lily covered her strong nose and said in a low voice, "Martin, are you a masochist?"

Martin picked up the baseball that Hall had dropped by the couch, and caught it.

Lily stopped talking and sat on the sofa angrily.

Elena pointed to the room: "Go and help Hall with his homework."

It turns out that Lily has grown taller and is still a younger sister who can only succumb to Elena's power.

Elena and Martin chatted for a while, looked at the time, and said, "Harris is driving a Ford to deliver the goods. Are you taking me to work?"

Martin patted Elena's butt: "Happy to help."

The two got into the BMW, and Martin drove out of the community.

There were only the two of them in the car.

When he came near the Bishui Bar, Martin stopped the car and asked Elena, "Have you ever thought about living in Los Angeles?"

"Why do you want to go to Los Angeles?" After Elena got a formal job, she stopped swearing: "My home is in Atlanta, my family is in Atlanta, and my relatives and friends are all in Atlanta."

Martin said, "We can go together."

"I still have to wait for Emma to come back." Elena was deeply worried: "If she comes back and we're not here, Scott's nerves will hurt her, no matter what she does, she is Lily and Hall's mother. "

She took the initiative to avoid this topic: "When will the movie you acted in be released, take me to see it."
