Chapter 129 The business card is in the hands of those who need it
For the sake of convenience such as expenses, the crew even held routine script reading sessions in Cabo San Lucas.
In the conference room of the Seaview Hotel, all the main cast and crew members were present for the first time.
Craven, Ajia and Martin, who represents the investors, form the three most powerful actors in the crew.
There is also Sophia who came to join in the fun on vacation.
But the female Vajra just listened curiously and didn’t say a word.
Martin didn’t know any of the other actors.
The actress who plays his wife Ryan in the film is Vanessa Shaw, who was born as a child star.
Martin chatted with her for a few words and became familiar with each other. After all, they were going to play the role of husband and wife.
“I suffer from severe dyslexia.” When Vanessa heard that Martin was going to discuss the role, she felt embarrassed and said, “I often rely on assistants to help me read scripts.”
You cannot discriminate against people. Martin knew this very well and said: "We will discuss it after the script meeting."
Vanessa nodded. She started working as a child model in commercials when she was less than ten years old. She got into film and television shooting in her early teens. Her childhood memories are almost all about the crew, the studio and the camera.
As for the education of the crew and family education, it is more like a formality to comply with the regulations of the Parent-Teacher Association.
Martin has been in contact with more actors recently, and gradually discovered that there are many people with dyslexia here, especially actors.
The script reading meeting was hosted by director Ajia. He focused on the scenes of Vanessa and several others, and there was no need to say much about Martin's scenes.
The two important actors who were not present also came with their respective representatives.
One represents the son of the male protagonist, and the other is the dog.
In terms of daily salary alone, the latter is second only to the male protagonist Martin among all the actors in the crew.
At the end of the script meeting, Ajia suggested that the actors in the protagonist group get familiar with each other as soon as possible to facilitate filming.
Craven emphasized the safety of the crew. Cabo San Lucas is a tourist destination in Mexico, and the security is much better than that in Tijuana and Juarez, but try not to go out alone.
Especially don’t leave the bustling area and go to the old city to enjoy the scenery.
The crew went on location and hired several professional security guards.
They cannot fight, but they are familiar with various local forces.
To put it bluntly, the crew paid protection fees.
Martin made an appointment with the leading actors, including Vanessa, to go to the beach to enjoy the scenery and chat about their respective roles.
The male protagonist's parents-in-law are played by two veteran actors who have been in the industry for decades. Acting skills and understanding of the characters are not a problem.
The **** actress who played the sister-in-law introduced herself, and then Martin remembered that she was a striptease girl from the showgirl club that night when he, Ajia and Craven were discussing the plot of the character.
Millie is an actress and part-time stripper. She joined the crew through Ajia's path.
It can only be said that actors in Los Angeles are everywhere.
In the afternoon, Martin followed the crew to the studio area close to the hotel to adapt to the environment and rehearse.
All interior scenes of the crew will be shot here.
The studio area is very close to the beach, and a football field is being built next to it.
Bruce went to ask about it and came back and said: "The set of "Summer of Jeans"."
Martin found a high stone platform and observed over there: "The crew has a lot of scenes, and they are filming a women's football training camp."
Bruce reminded: "Dude, you are an actor, not a pervert."
Martin was innocent: "What did I say? It's just a women's football training camp..."
Just as he was talking, nearly a hundred women came one after another on the lawn over there, with various hair colors and skin colors. They were all young and beautiful in their 20s, with fit bodies, wearing shorts, with bulging fronts and backs...
But it was the Jeans crew that selected female football extras.
Hearing the commotion, Ajia, a pervert, also came, stood next to Martin, and said: "The crew of the youth film looks very eye-catching. I will also make youth films in the future."
Bruce the pervert said: "I like crews with many actresses."
Ajia nodded repeatedly: "All the cast and crew members of our crew combined are not as many as their actresses."
Martin raised a more practical issue: "There are all beauties next door, and we are all perverts here." He felt it was necessary to hold a party: "Ajia, when time permits, you can go to the next door in the name of the director, and we will How about having a social party with the crew?"
Ajia, a French director full of artistic talent, hurriedly agreed: "It's a good idea, but it will take a while. The crew from the opposite side is just coming over for some preliminary staff. We will wait until the main members arrive. We also have to shoot the location scenes first."
Back at the studio, Martin met two dog actors, both well-trained German shepherds.
He asked: "Can I touch them?"
Two German shepherds wear muzzles and look very docile.
Dog owner Daniel suggested: “Take your time and get familiar with it step by step.”
Martin has never owned a dog, but he has played the role of a police dog trainer in his previous life. He has some experience in dealing with dogs. After getting familiar with them for a while, he asked Daniel to loosen his muzzle and feed him some more meat.
The animal actors used by Hollywood crews have all undergone rigorous training, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are extremely smart among their kind.
The pay is also surprisingly high.
With Daniel’s permission, Martin fed them some food, and the two German shepherds soon circled around him.
Daniel put a muzzle on the dog: "It's almost time to walk the dogs. You hold them and go for a walk."
Filming requires cooperation between humans and animals. Martin took the leash and led the two dogs out of the studio. Daniel followed behind.
Bruce has been standing by to prevent unexpected situations.
Vanessa got off the trailer and saw the two German shepherds and said, "They are so cute. What are their names?"
"Very smart too." Martin smiled: "The female dog on the left is called Beauty, and the male dog on the right is called Beast."
Vanessa smiled: "Beauty and the Beast, what a good name."
Martin pointed to the beach in front: "Let's get familiar with Beauty and the Beast, and talk about the characters by the way."
Vanessa simply walked the dog with Martin, talking about the role while walking: "You and my family have many conflicts, and I act as a lubricant, right?"
Martin led the dog onto the beach and said, "I don't want to come on this trip. You dragged me along just to ease the conflict with your father."
Vanessa has begun to assume the role: "Yes, you and my father both have strong personalities, which leads to constant collisions, but his death angered you..."
“It wasn’t mainly him.” Martin also started from the character itself: “The main thing was that you were killed by those perverts and our child was taken away, so I became angry and decided to take the initiative to save the child.”
Vanessa nodded: "So, you killed all the perverts."
The dogs felt neglected and turned around to look at Martin.
Martin quickly comforted: "I'll play with you right away."
Daniel brought the Frisbee over.
This beach belongs to the studio area and is rented by the crew. Martin took off the leash, unmuzzled the two dogs and ran towards the sea.
He turned back halfway through the run, stared at the Frisbee in Martin's hand and screamed.
For some reason, Martin thought of a sports game that a clerk often organized, which was also related to Frisbee.
At that time, the Frisbee game was very popular, and many people in the entertainment industry participated, and every time they gained a lot.
Yoga pants, camel toes and tights make the Frisbee game exciting.
Martin threw the Frisbee, and the dog jumped up to catch it and automatically brought it back.
Several other actors who have interactions with dogs also came over.
Martin played with the two German shepherds for a while, handed the Frisbee back to Daniel, and found Sophia walking from the other side of the beach with her little brother Scott, who was carrying a bag.
Sofia is wearing a three-point swimsuit, revealing her exaggerated tendons, and she looks like a female version of King Kong.
She waved to Martin: "Let's go for a swim in the sea together!"
Martin rambled casually: "I'm a terrible swimmer."
"It's okay." Sofia said with persistence, "Little Martin, follow me, Auntie will protect you."
Once these words came out, Martin would not be able to get over even if he was beaten to death.
Sofia reached back, Scott opened the bag, took out the pink water bottle and handed it to her. Sophia bit the straw and stared at Martin as he drank the water.
Everyone on the beach looked over.
Vanessa thought about her scene and said, "I want to use this thing in the film?"
The old actress Catherine who played her mother came over and said: "This is a symbol of free women."
Vanessa has a scene where she fights a pervert with a kettle.
When Sophia got into the water, Scott walked up to Martin and warned: "Idiot, stay away from Sophia."
Martin gave him a middle finger: "No one will **** it from you."
Scott said: "If you dare to rob me, I will tell the whole crew what you have done!" He said fiercely: "Don't forget, your dad beat my wife for free, you **** is free It’s my daughter’s fault!”
“Stop!” Martin reminded him: “Emma has come back, Jack has nothing to do with me.”
Scott looked at Sophia swimming in the sea: "It's better not to come back, I will divorce her sooner or later."
Martin asked: “Because of the rich woman?”
“Don’t rich women smell good?” Scott was proud: “I conquered Sophia with my charm, and she was willing to spend money for me to let me enjoy the good life that only rich men can have.”
Martin said: "How about this, you can be taken care of by a rich woman in peace, and I can do my job normally, and neither of us will interfere with the other?"
Scott felt that Martin would make a profit if he didn't rob him: "Deal." He was about to leave, but then he remembered something: "I'm warning you idiot, stay away from Elena and Lily in the future."
Martin pretended not to hear.
Scott felt that he had won the round, held his head high, stepped out, and swung his **** to leave.
Martin called to him, asked for a business card from Bruce, and handed it to Scott: "Here is this for you, you will need it in the future."
Scott found a business card from a personal doctor: "What to do?"
Martin said: "The best anorectal surgeon in Los Angeles, nicknamed Hyena."
Scott didn't lose his temper, he put it away seriously, and walked away.
The business card Antonio sent out finally got into the hands of the person who really needed it.
