 The door to the audition room opened and someone shouted: "Martin Davis."

Martin took out his cell phone and handed it to Bruce, strode into the audition room, greeted director Ken Capis and casting director Heike warmly, and glanced quickly across the audition room.

This audition group is unprofessional, no one even plays games!

Capiz did not let him try out the show for the time being, but asked: "Do you know English football?"

When he was in Brisbane, Zomi often talked about football with Martin and talked about many related things, which gave Martin some confidence: "I watch La Liga more, and I occasionally watch the Premier League. I am Ronaldi." Fans of Neo, although he did not lead Barcelona to win the La Liga championship, he is a real football wizard."

Kapis nodded and said: "There is a beautiful woman opposite who is tempting you. You should perform a performance so that you are interested but don't show it obviously."

 Martin understood it as soon as he heard it. Didn't this allow him to perform in his true colors?

 A few minutes later, he came out of the audition room.

Thomas came up to him and asked, "How is it?"

Martin said: "It feels okay."

Thomas led the way: "Let's go first, there will be news tomorrow."

Bruce handed the phone back to Martin: "There is a text message."

Arrived near the front desk, Martin turned on his phone and looked at the text message. The text message came from FedEx, informing him that his shipment had been picked up and was about to be sent to Atlanta.

 He asked Lao Bu: "Have you shipped goods to Atlanta?"

 Bruce wondered: "No, I never contacted Atlanta."

 Martin guessed who it was, and walked to the side and dialed Louise's phone: "Long goods, what did you send to Atlanta in my name?"

Louis laughed loudly: "Something serious, a set of carving tools, as a return gift. The things are in the hands of Kelly and I. If you don't return the gift, we must always be polite."

 Martin didn’t believe this slut: “Really? Nothing else?”

 Louis said: "You can ask Kelly."

 Martin hung up the phone, asked Bruce and Thomas to leave without asking any more questions.

 He ​​went to the post-production room of "Horror of Wax Museum" and chatted with Zomi. The post-production of "Horror of Wax Museum" has reached the final stage and will officially be released in North American theaters in October.

 Warner Bros. has already begun promoting the film and has negotiated pre-roll ads with film producers such as "Resident Evil 2", "The Exorcist Prequel" and "Alien vs. Predator."

 In the evening, Martin made an appointment with Zomi, Craven, Ajia and others, and found a barbecue restaurant to have dinner and bond.

 Thomas also went along, and watched Martin playing around, hooking up with big guys like Craven, eating, drinking and having fun together, discussing how to play with women like an old pervert, etc.



 The next morning, Martin was practicing action routines with the newly recruited stuntmen in the production studio. Thomas called and told him that he had won the role of football coach.

 He ​​did not expend energy on this role, but the strong recommendation from a major agency was a guarantee for getting the role.

 Thomas will go to the crew to discuss salary and filming schedule, and Martin only needs to wait for the signing.

During the training break, Martin called Robert again: "Man, I got the role. I won't say thank you. When will you come to Los Angeles to develop?"

Over there, Robert said: "I'll be in Atlanta for the time being. The team leader is too busy." He worked out a pattern and confidence: "Whenever you need it, call me when you need it."

  Martin said: "I won't be polite to you."

 Hang up the phone, he asked Bruce: "Old Boo, what's the best thing to give Robert?"

Bruce thought: "That guy Robert, he will definitely not accept the money you give him. I imagine that he has always been envious of Jerome for driving a Cadillac."

  Martin said: “Wait until these two movies are finished.”

At this time, someone shouted at the door of the studio: "Martin, there is a man named Mene looking for you and saying he is your friend."

 Martin waved: "Let him come over."

Meine came in from the outside carrying a bag. From a distance, Martin noticed that his lips were thick and curled, like two fat sausages hanging on them.

Bruce was surprised: "Been beaten?"

Mene took a folding stool and sat at the small round table. His voice changed when he spoke: "The female casting director in "Land of the Living Dead" didn't know what she used to wash it with. I made her happy, and I ended up..." Lip allergies, that’s what happens.”

 Martin asked: “Didn’t you go to the doctor?”

Meine opened and closed his mouth with a strange expression: "I went to see a private doctor, and Antonio gave me a business card... I forgot what he said, the doctor nicknamed Hyena, specializes in anorectal medicine."

He added: "The doctor said there is nothing wrong and he will be fine in a few days."

 Bruce patted Mene on the shoulder: "Man, it's not easy for you."

"It's much better than before." Mene is optimistic by nature and enjoys hardship: "I can find a way to give and get rewards for my efforts. It's better than most actors in Los Angeles. I got that special zombie role."

Martin didn't say much: "I wish you good luck and get a more important role soon." Mene smiled cheerfully: "I will be satisfied with a stable income of more than 100,000 US dollars a year." He patted his backpack and said, "Rome Director Luo asked the actors to join the team for special training as soon as possible. I came here to say goodbye to you today and will go out in the afternoon. "

Martin said: "I'm going to Mexico soon. If you call Lao Bu if you have something to do, I guess it will be difficult to get through."

"What can happen?" Mene has his own way of dealing with it: "Don't forget, I have a trick."

 Martin glanced at his black face that was about to be whitened. As far as Hollywood is concerned, Mene does have nuclear weapons.

 …

 West Hollywood, an ordinary boxing gym.

Mike Vogel was wearing boxing gloves and hitting the training dummy loudly.

 He gathered strength with his back fist and punched the dummy on the head hard, causing the dummy to shake violently.

Agent Pinto came in from outside and asked: "Take a rest?"

Vogel turned around and nodded, raised his fists toward the coach, waited for the coach to take off his gloves, and came to Pinto.

“Please give us some personal space.” Pinto waited for the coach to leave and said, “As expected, the company gave priority to Martin Davis for the role of Eric.”

Vogel understood that the other party won the role and said: "I am more qualified than him, just because of the Best Young Actor Award?"

Pinto shook his head: "No, I got the exact news. Martin took down Craven alone, so he got that award, can you?"

Vogel knew that he couldn't, but his strong character did not allow him to say such words. He raised his fist and shook it: "I can beat all the horrible monsters created by Craven into mud."

Pinto pressed his fist down: "There is also good news. You got the role of Costes. The role is not much less than Eric, but you have to dye your hair dark."

Vogel said: "You go and negotiate the salary."

Pinto came to the ring and sat down, pointed to the side, waited for Vogel to sit down, and said, "Have you ever considered changing your image and acting style?"

Vogel didn’t understand: “Why?”

Pinto explained: “Among the fifth- and sixth-level customers in the age group of 20 to 25, you and Adrian originally had the highest priority, but now the company’s resources at this level are given priority to Martin Davis.”

He pointed at Vogel's hair color, face and body: "Your temperament, age and style are relatively close. The suitable role must be chosen by Martin Davis first. If you don't take the initiative to change, you can only choose him." Pick the rest.”

  Vogel is not a newcomer to the industry, and he knows that this circle is so cruel, but he is used to everything now. He considered it carefully for a while and said: "Give me some time, I will think about it carefully."

Pinto persuaded: "You haven't really become famous yet, so the transition is relatively easy at this time. Your role in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is similar to Martin's in "Horror House of Wax Museum". Martin now has Wes Clay. As for the male protagonist in Wen’s new film, if you don’t make changes, you will live in Martin’s shadow for a long time with the same type of character.”

Vogel asked: "I have no other resources?"

Pinto said: "You have participated in several auditions for the roles that Martin has chosen, and I have put in a lot of effort. However, the company is unwilling to put a lot of effort into recommending you, and we have gained nothing."

 Vogel jumped off the ring, came to the dummy, and without wearing gloves, beat the dummy violently. When he stopped, his knuckles were already red.

 He turned to look at Pinto: "I'll make a decision after I finish filming this film."

 Vogel was not Pinto’s most important client, so Pinto said no more: “Okay.”

 …

Three days later, Martin, accompanied by Thomas, came to the "Summer of Jeans" studio and signed an actor contract with producer Brad Erisman, who represented the crew.

 After signing the contract, the latter shook hands with Martin: "Welcome to join the crew."

 Martin said with a smile: "It's my honor."

　 Today is different from the past. As the winner of the Saturn Award for Best Young Actor, Martin has some cards.

  Brad took a special photo with Martin, who was holding the contract, to serve as future promotional materials.

 In another office, Bruce also signed an assistant agreement with the crew.

Like "The Mountain Has Eyes", Thomas secured a position for Bruce as a paid assistant on the production staff.

 Out of the entire cast, except for the four heroines, only Martin enjoys this treatment.

  Martin's role will be paid US$250,000. In addition to the normal salary of the main actors of the crew, the crew will also provide him with two business class air tickets to and from Los Angeles.

"Summer of Jeans" is also a mixed project, and the main shooting location is also in Mexico. The schedule does not overlap with "The Hills Have Eyes". Martin has sufficient time to shoot Craven's film first, and then join another crew.

 In addition, both crews chose Cabo San Lucas on the Baja California peninsula to shoot their indoor scenes.

This is a famous resort city and a common filming location for Hollywood crews.

The trunk-shaped beach arch that often appears in Hollywood movies is located here.
