The next morning, Martin received a call from Bruce, saying that Vincent and Sofia wanted to treat him to a drink at the Beast House.
Martin drove to Saijo Street and entered the club. Bruce stood behind the bar pouring drinks. Vincent took off his cowboy hat, waved to Martin, waited for Martin to sit at the bar, and said, "Here's a toast." Martin clinked glasses with him, and Sofia toasted together.
Vincent put down the cup: "A very wonderful movie, a very good investment." Martin smiled: "Boss, I am a grateful person." Sofia interjected: "You are also a smart person." Martin His eyes drifted across Lao Bu's face, but Lao Bu didn't say anything. He simply said directly: "Boss, Sophia, are you looking for me to do more than just treat me to a drink?" Vincent didn't speak this time. Sophia answered: "It was filmed by the crew. At that time, I heard someone say that you plan to go to Los Angeles for development." Martin nodded: "There is a plan in this regard." Sofia motioned to Old Bu to pour the wine: "Los Angeles has many opportunities, many film companies, and many crews. I heard that there are many filmings every year There are hundreds of movies." Martin told the truth: "I have never been to Los Angeles, and I don't know the details very well." Sophia received a notification form from the studio this morning and was very satisfied with the previous investment. This kind of business It's hard to make a living, so she and Vincent focused on Martin again: "Hollywood movies cost tens of millions of dollars, and hundreds of millions of dollars of investment. If you can encounter such an opportunity, don't forget your old friends in Atlanta." Martin is relieved about this. Apart from anything else, he can bring capital into the group at critical moments.
He barely needed any preparation, and his words were filled with sincere feelings: "Atlanta is my home. No matter how far away I go, I will come back one day. Why? Here are my most precious memories and friends." In the meantime, Martin looked at Lao Bu specifically.
Bruce was very understanding and secretly gave him a middle finger. Martin continued: "How could I forget you when there is an investment opportunity? I told Vincent that it is all because of your investment support that we can win the leading role this time." Sofia raised a glass: "I propose to support our future cooperation. , cheers." Martin clinked glasses with her and Vincent one after another, and drank the wine in the glass.
At this close contact, he realized that Sophia's bent upper arm was thicker than Lily's thigh. Martin realized something was wrong, why Lily's legs?
He definitely didn't peek. Vincent said at this time: "My most successful investment so far was lending money to Jack Davis. This money allowed me to get to know Martin." Martin was helpless: "Boss, can we not mention Jack? "
"That old bastard hasn't contacted you?" Vincent smiled rarely: "If I were you, Martin, I would definitely break his legs when I see him again." Martin shook his head: "Because he won't go to jail. It’s worth it.” 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 suddenly gave him a wink. Martin understood, and talked about the so-called investment for a while, and said goodbye at the right time: "I have to go to the Marietta Theater. I made an appointment with the tour leader and I can't break the appointment." Sophia stretched out her hand: "Let's talk another day." Martin was polite He squeezed her hand sexually, it felt like holding a stone: "Okay." After 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. There were seven or eight people standing on the stage, and Robert, with his big head shaking, was directing their performance.
Robert became a teacher... Martin waved to the stage and went directly to the office on the second floor. Jerome pointed to the opposite side: "Sit down." Martin sat down and said: "The troupe is very prosperous." Jerome said lightly: "There are many new people. The troupe signed an agreement with Gray Company for the use of extras. Many temporary actors Actors are all seeking to join the troupe." Martin heard Andrew say this: "Gray Company's late-night shows will not stop. Leader, please keep in touch with Andrew."
"I will." Jerome changed the subject: "Last night, I had a phone call with Robert Patrick and told him about your situation. He said that when you arrive in Los Angeles, you can go to Sherman Oaks to find him." The leader handed Martin the card with the address: "Patrick will provide you with some help." Martin solemnly said: "Thank you, leader." Jerome suddenly emphasized: "Martin, you are from the Marietta Troupe. , since we are going to Los Angeles, we have to work hard and not embarrass the troupe." Martin promised: "Captain, I will do it."
"I want 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 a leader, I have limited abilities, so I can only help you with this." Martin originally wanted to invite Jerome Jerome wanted to have lunch with him, but Jerome declined.
Go downstairs and call Robert. Robert is very busy, so he just took the time to come over and chat with him for a few words.
"After the photo of me and the crew was published in the newspaper, a very beautiful actor took the initiative to pursue me." Robert whispered about a recent incident: "I know that she is not interested in me, but something else. Martin was very cooperative: "What's behind?" Robert said: "She pestered me the day before yesterday, and I bought a bottle of Coke. The Coke might have just been dropped or something, but I didn't pay attention. I unscrewed the cap of the bottle and the Coke came out and sprayed out. It's all over her head and body, and she wants to sue me." Martin found a lawyer's phone number and sent it to Robert: "Go consult a professional." Robert glanced at it, and his big head drooped a little: "I don't know why, you When I was in Savannah, my luck turned bad." Martin thought of Ma Zhenxi and Adam Smith and solemnly said: "Be patient for a while and keep your phone open. I may call you at any time when I go to Los Angeles." Robert flinched a little : "Going to Los Angeles means leaving home."
"We'll talk about it later." Martin knew that it would be useless to talk more now: "I made an appointment with Bob for dinner. If you don't go, I'll leave." Reading Robert is very teacher-like: "I am now the chief acting instructor of the Marietta Community Theater Company , and we have to teach these rookies." After leaving the troupe, Martin went to the Rosario restaurant last time, waited until Bruce came 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 Bruce, you are not drunk..."
"Shut up!" Bruce didn't want to mention it at first, but after a while he showed sadness: "I didn't know at the time that I had a few more drinks with her, and ended up getting drunk..." Martin poured him a glass of beer: "It's such 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 quickly said: "Civilized people, there are patrols over there, don't give the son of a bitch a chance to empty the magazine." Bruce took back his hand: "You're lucky!" Martin thought of Scott and asked: "Sofia How long will interest in a person last?" Bruce shook his head: "Not necessarily, some last longer, and some get bored in a few days." Martin asked again: "The one who ends up with the worst fate?" Bruce couldn't help laughing: " As far as I know, Sophia has never killed anyone. The worst one was anal prolapse." Martin thought of a possibility: "It couldn't be you, right?" Bruce really wanted to pull out his gun: "You stinking piece of shit. , I must take off your head to see what kind of dog poop is inside..." Martin said again: "Old Bu, why are you so excited?"
"Yeah, why should I be excited?" Bruce suddenly calmed down and said, "If you encounter something bad that needs to be wiped out again, don't come to me. I won't help you even if you give me a hundred thousand dollars." The waiter just happened to give it to you. When the food came over, Martin said: "I'll treat you to dinner." Bruce changed his words again: "For your treat's sake, ask me to charge you double the price next time." Martin forked a piece of black pepper beef and said, "Don't worry. , when I look for you again, I will book you a first-class flight and a five-star suite, and prepare a beautiful girl with a big ass." After the two of them finished eating, Martin paid the bill and drove back to the community.
Entering the 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 next to Elena. She turned to her side and gestured with her hand: "I'm really taller than you." She saw Martin: "Look, isn't it?" Martin chewed gum and sat on the single sofa.
Elena was too lazy to talk to her, picked up two magazines and came to the single sofa, sitting on the armrest next to him.
Lily put her hands behind her back and said seriously: "Elena, I'm taller than you, you can't touch me casually in the future..." Before she could finish her words, the magazine in Elena's hand flew out and hit her. face.
Lily covered her strong nose and said in a deep voice: "Martin, are you a masochist? Do you like being beaten by such violent women?" Martin picked up the baseball that Hall threw next to the sofa and threw it up to catch it.
Lily stopped talking and sat on the sofa angrily. Elena pointed to the room: "Go and help Hall with his homework." It turned out that Lily had grown taller and was still a younger sister, so she could only succumb to Elena's power.
Elena and Martin sat together for a while, then looked at the time and said, "Harris drove the Ford to deliver the goods. Are you taking me to work?" Martin patted Elena's butt and said, "I'm happy to help." The two of them said. After getting into the BMW, Martin drove out of the community.
They were the only two people in the car. Arriving near the Bishui Bar, Martin stopped the car and asked Elena: "Have you ever thought about living in Los Angeles?"
"Why 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 be together. go."
"I still have to wait for Emma to come back." Elena was deeply worried: "If she comes back and we are not here, Scott will go crazy and hurt her. No matter what she does, she is Lily and Hall's mother. She took the initiative to avoid the topic: "When will that movie you act in be released? Take me to see it."
