Chapter 132 Rattlesnake (please subscribe)

 The tedious action scenes were very time-consuming to shoot, and the actors inevitably had minor bumps and bruises. Martin himself was okay, but several of the stunt doubles had multiple bruises.

 This is very common on the set, and the stuntmen are used to it.

Another action scene was filmed, but Martin was fine. The stand-ins were panting from exhaustion.

Ajia’s voice had already become hoarse from shouting, and she said to her assistant: “Let them rest for an hour.”

Three stuntmen with a similar body shape to Martin, and two other stuntmen who played perverted roles, came to the rest area and sat down, none of them wanting to move anymore.

 Martin went to get Gatorade himself, gave each person a bottle, and said, "Guys, refuel."

“You’ve taken as many pictures as we have, so take a break.” Buck, the stuntman, had developed a good figure, but he was already bald at the age of twenty-five, and said, “Martin, you have great physical strength.”

 Martin sat on a chair, deliberately bent his arms, pointed at his bulging muscles and said, "Forgot? I am the best player on the crew."

 When men get together to chat, how can they not brag: "Have you seen my machine gun dance? I also have the best endurance."

Special actor Lorde said: "I watched the Saturn Awards live broadcast with my wife. When my wife saw you dancing, she laughed at me and said that compared to that man, you are a weakling. At that time, I thought, when I saw him I’ll definitely beat up his brother.”

 Martin looked frightened: "Man, you can't hit my brother even if you hit me in the face, because your hand will be broken!"

Lewis, who is also Martin's stand-in, said: "Martin, I admit that you have the best physical strength and the best fighting skills in the entire crew, but what really ranks you first is your shamelessness."

 Others laughed.

 Martin said seriously: "Do you know what is the most widely circulated saying in Atlanta? Everyone is jealous of Martin, and everyone wants to be Martin."

 He coughed: "I'll tell you some good news. This weekend, we are holding a beach party together with the crew next door."

 Lord became excited: "Really."

Barker said: "There are all pretty girls next door."

 Martin suggested: "How about we form a pick-up group?"

"No, I want to stay away from you." Lewis had already recognized the reality: "If I follow you, all the pretty girls will come to you, and we can only pick up the remaining ugly girls."

A few people were joking for a while, and Bruce came over and said that Sophia was looking for him.

Sofia took Scott on a trip. Martin thought she would go back to Atlanta directly, but he didn't expect that she would come back again.

 Martin dragged Bruce along: "Don't worry, she won't dare do anything to you as long as I'm here."

Bruce clenched his buttocks and his legs were trembling, but he said harshly: "You are worried about what she will do to you, right?"

 Two guilty-minded men saw Sophia at the door of the studio.

 The female King Kong was wearing a tank top and shorts, showing her muscles: "I'm ready to go back to Atlanta."

 Bruce’s legs tightened and relaxed unconsciously.

"The crew, you two, be careful and don't cause trouble." Sofia suddenly remembered the fat man in Los Angeles who was snatching investment: "If that is what he is called, he is that ugly fat man, and he still dares to cause trouble. Call me and I will go to Los Angeles in person. Get rid of him!"

 “No problem.” Martin felt confident. If Weinstein caused trouble, he would directly summon Sophia.

Sophia glanced across Bruce's face, and Bruce grabbed Martin's arm, suddenly remembering that this piece of stinky **** was unreliable, and he might sell himself.

Martin said: "Goodbye."

 “Let’s go.” Sophia greeted Scott and walked out of the studio.

Scott followed behind with a straight step like he didn't recognize his relatives.

 Martin and Bruce walked back and passed by the drinks area. Two stage managers were packing their things.

They spoke in a somewhat high-pitched voice: "Have you just seen it? Martin on our crew is very good at action scenes. He is the best in the crew."

“I have a better one over there.” Another person from the crew next door said: “His last film was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Do you know what the director said? If he goes to fight, the Iraqi enemies will have only one way to escape.”

 The previous scene has a certain meaning: "Anyone can brag."

The person next door said: "You don't know, before he became an actor, he practiced boxing professionally. When he first entered the industry, he took a shower in the collective bathroom of the studio... He was a very beautiful boy. At that time, he was covered in foam and came several times. Some **** wanted to have some fun, and he saw them in the mirror, and then... boom boom, those **** all fell down."

The stage manager asked: "Really?"

 “Many people in my area know it.”

 Martin and Bruce kept walking, walking inside.

 When they walked away, the two people turned to look, and the stage manager said: "He must have heard it, the balance."

　　Rick from the team next door took out a rolled-up small-denomination U.S. dollar and stuffed it into his hand: "Publish it more on the set."

The stage manager took the money and said, "It's a small deal."

 When he came to the rest area, Martin found a place where no one was and sat down, closing his eyes and concentrating.

 Bruce sat next to him and glanced at the drinks area.

Martin asked: "Who are they talking about? What do they want to do? In such a stupid way?"

Bruce thought for a while: "Inspire you to fight with others? You brag on the set and make people misunderstand that you are an upright person who likes confrontation?"

Martin was unhappy: "Am I not bright enough? Not decent enough?" Bruce explained the facts and reasoned: "Please give examples of times and places when you confronted people head-on."

Martin didn't answer the question at all, and turned back: "You left enough information, and you want me to come and fight with him? This kind of bad method is worse than Adrian."

 He shook his head: "That idiot Lily is better than him."

Bruce said: "First ask who it is."

 Martin took out his cell phone and called Blake Lively. After a few questions, he hung up and said, "Mike Vogel, it's really not surprising at all."

Bruce said: "That actor in WMA who has a similar style to you? No wonder you are blocking the way. It's such a **** circle."

Martin pointed to the side: "He is on the set next door. Do you want to provoke me to fight with him?" He recalled several times he had contact with him: "He doesn't look like such a brainless person."

Bruce suggested: "How about this, you continue to brag on the set, I will spread the news to the outside world, spend some money to ask Dalot for help, and see what happens."

 Martin laughed: "Are you bragging? I'm the best at it."

 The rest time came, after a brief makeup touch-up, Martin and the stuntmen entered the set again.

Perhaps stimulated by the news of the weekend party, a group of stuntmen have regained their energy.

 …

 Los Angeles, Pacific Pictures.

 In the office, Louise, wearing black-rimmed glasses, is smart and capable, without any trace of dissipation.

Assistant Nikki knocked on the door and came in, placing the latest report on the desk.

Louis took it over and sighed: "Even Jerry Bruckheimer can't create a counterattack miracle."

“King Arthur,” co-produced by Touchstone Pictures and Bruckheimer Pictures, failed miserably.

With an investment of hundreds of millions of US dollars, the North American box office was only US$15 million in the first weekend. Now three weekends later, the North American box office is only a pitiful US$45 million, and the film schedule has dropped from more than 3,000 theaters to less than 2,000.

 Huge losses are inevitable.

 "Troy" failed to meet expectations, and "King Arthur" failed miserably at the box office. What about "Alexander the Great" of the same type?

Louise’s career as a producer for many years has given her a feeling that the market is tired of this genre?

 The success of the "Gladiator" and "Lord of the Rings" series makes people think that North America will usher in an era of epic and fantasy.

 The judgment generally accepted by the industry may contain errors.

 Louise took the wine bottle next to her, poured a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, picked up the phone and dialed the number of Warner CEO Barry Meyer, suggesting that the release of "Alexander the Great" should be postponed.

Barry-Meyer refused. The platter project involves funds from all aspects, and no one is willing to wait.

Louise called Warner President Alan Horn again. The latter also didn't think it was a good idea to postpone the release. The market would not change in the short term. It was impossible for the platter party's funds to be pressed on this project for a long time. If it was released at the end of the year Failure, delaying for half a year will not change the outcome.

Hang up the phone, Louise drank another drink, stood up and went to the window, looking at the Warner Studio not far away, feeling extremely stressed for a moment.

She took off her glasses, took out the note pad Martin had given her from her bag, tore off one of the pages, and called her assistant Nikki: "Call Esquire and the Bartenders Association and tell them that Master Bartender Louise -Mel makes a whole new cocktail.”

 …

The crew is stationed at Jeans. The crew is making final preparations for the official shooting, and the actors are busy rehearsing their roles.

Ten days later, Mike Vogel will follow the crew B team to Greece for filming.

Stage manager Rick quietly found Vogel and said: "I have been there every day these days, and I am absolutely sure that Martin Davis likes to brag and is extremely arrogant. Everyone on the crew supports him."

Vogel looked in the mirror and fixed his dark brown hair: "Is there any more?"

"He likes to drink. He would go have a drink with the cast and crew after work every day." Rick learned a lot from there: "The more he drinks, the more he brags. He claims to be the most talented person in Georgia. Once After drinking too much, he boasted about a gunfight with a gangster and a trafficker, and shot the trafficker in the anus. You will know it is fake as soon as you hear it. "

 Vogel nodded, typical of someone who drinks too much and doesn’t know who he is.

 It is judged that Martin Davis is arrogant and likes to brag in front of others. He deliberately released the news to stimulate Martin's competitiveness and then combine it with alcohol...

Vogel asked again: "Are you sure the crew wants to have a party?"

Rick replied: "This Saturday, all day."

 Vogel stood in front of the mirror and thought for a few minutes: "Rick, you are Mexican, can you get a rattlesnake or other venomous snake?"

"What do you want to do? Put venomous snakes in his room?" Although Rick is from Tijuana, he doesn't want to cause an American murder: "I won't do this kind of thing. The hotel is monitored everywhere, there is no way to avoid it! Man, I I advise you not to mess around.”

 Vogel’s father used to work in a snake farm and he had some knowledge of venomous snakes: “How could I do this? Are you kidding me?”

Rick asked: "Are you sure you won't mess around?"

“Find someone to get a snake and remove most of the venom from the venom sac.” Vogel whispered a few more words and emphasized: “I’ll pay more.”

 Rick responded: "Okay, Mexico has no shortage of this stuff."
