Chapter 9

"Goodbye, Mom and Dad."

Martin waved goodbye to his family and then got into Nancy's car.

"Are you excited and have a feeling of being freed from constraints? Nancy smiled and said

"A little, a little sad"

"It's okay, it's just because it's your first time away from home, you'll get used to it soon"

"No, Aunt Nancy, you misunderstood, I’m just sad that I won’t be able to eat Aranda’s delicious food for a while!"

"Alright, little guy, I underestimated you."

After the joke, Nancy's tone suddenly became serious.

She said:"Martin, I have to remind you in advance that Hollywood is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface. There are more drugs, alcoholism, etc. in this circle. Promiscuity, and even a lot of coercion and inducement……"

Martin listened carefully to what Nancy said, and then smiled:"Aunt Nancy, I understand that there are always sharp thorns hidden under the rose bushes, and filth and sin are hidden under the bright appearance of Vanity Fair - because it is a place where desires are intertwined. Land!"

But I like it!

Martin added secretly in his mind.

The more chaotic and depraved it is, the more intertwined desires are, the more we succubus yearn for it!!!

Nancy was stunned. She didn’t expect that little Martin could say such a thing. He was really a brat.

"Now that you know, don't blame Aunt Nancy for keeping you in check"

"No, I know you are all doing this for my own good."

Nancy nodded. Martin is really much more sensible than her two daughters. Grant is really a lucky guy.

Nancy did not take Martin directly to the set, but first came to her studio in Hollywood.

"Sit down, what would you like to drink?"

"Is there any wine? I want to try it."

"Beautiful thought, only milk and juice"

"Okay, so juice. Hey, Aunt Nancy, what's that look on your face, I was just kidding"

"Humph, I will write this down in my notebook. If you behave on the set that dissatisfies me, I will tell your father."

"Okay, okay, Aunt Nancy, I'll be on my best behavior. Nancy poured a glass of juice and handed it to Martin, then took out a folder from the office drawer, opened it, and said to Martin:

"This is your script contract and actor contract. Grant has signed it. This one is going to be sent to Disney. Do you want to see it? I guess your dad didn't show it to you?"

"Of course I want to see it, yes, dad still treats me as a child"

"Here, be careful, don't spill the juice on it"

"calm down!"

Martin took the two documents and read them.

The script was licensed to Aunt Nancy for free, and it was also one of the bargaining chips used by Aunt Nancy to negotiate with Disney.

As for the actor's contract, his salary was US$100,000+ 5% box office share, this is the most satisfying part for Martin

"Well, Aunt Martin, the contract says that I have to study with a tutor on the set, right?"

"What, you want to skip class?"

"I just wanted to take it easy once in a while, you know, I was always getting straight A's in school and I was way ahead of my ninth grade classes."

Nancy nodded. She knew that Martin was studying very well, especially in the past year. His study progress has improved by leaps and bounds, as if his IQ suddenly jumped up a lot. Not only did he advance all the seventh-grade and eighth-grade courses Completed, and now he is starting to study the ninth grade course.

The most amazing thing is that he did it all by himself, that is, he learned it by himself.

What a terrible learning ability!

I don’t know what Grant is worried about?

Think about it again The two daughters who are bad students at home - the most talked about boy every day is either which boy is more handsome or what kind of clothes they should wear today. They are completely compared to each other by Martin. Nancy suddenly felt sour again.

She stared at Martin pretending to be serious. He said:"This is impossible. Even if aunt wants to give you an easy way, the Child Labor Law will not allow it. People from the American Children's Association will visit the set regularly, and we don't want to be fined.""

(PS: To tell a joke, the United States was the first country to enact a"child labor law", and it is also one of the countries with the worst use of child labor. This is still the case today.）

"All right! Martin shrugged and changed the subject,"Aunt Nancy, who are you going to find to play my parents?""

"For the role of father we chose Dennis Quaid"

"For the mother, we wanted Julia Roberts, but her asking price was too high, so we went with Natasha Richardson. Her acting skills are good and she's cheap"

"As for the role of the third party who wants to take away your father in the play, we chose Elaine Haddricks. This actor has a rather charming appearance and often plays the roles of mistress, affair, and secretary. He has experience"

"You know, our shooting time is limited, and it is best to find actors who can fit the role, so that the shooting can go more smoothly, so Martin, you'd better not hold me back."

"OK, OK, Aunt Nancy, you don’t have to worry about me."

"By the way, Martin, since you want to step into this industry, a reliable agent is a must. Your parents and I will help you pay attention to this aspect."

"OK, I'm fine"

…………

Time gradually comes to December.

The City of Angels has also gradually moved from warm autumn to cool winter.

The clothes of pedestrians on the street have also changed from cool T-shirts and suspenders to long-sleeved T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts. The winter in California is not cold.

Located in the San Bernardino National Forest east of Los Angeles, the crew of"A Match Made in Heaven" is filming here

"Okay, next scene is the fencing scene, Martin, Martin!"Nancy was yelling.

It seems that anyone's temper will deteriorate as soon as they become a director, and Nancy is no exception.

The recent filming encountered many problems:

First, the main photographer had a car accident. Although the person was not seriously injured, We were forced to give the guy seven days off to deal with the insurance compensation.

Then there was a communication problem between the crew and the scenic spot management office. The original venue could not be used and had to be changed to the current forest. The last thing is For those young actors, it is well known that the"child" scenes are the most difficult to film. It is difficult for you to control them. What is even more frightening is that there are a group of"children" here, laughing, crying, playing and even talking secretly. Damn it, you are only 11 years old!

The only thing that makes Nancy feel relieved is Martin. This boy really fulfilled his promise and didn't let her worry at all.

Especially the acting problem that she was most worried about, Martin also performed better than expected. Even the associate producer sent by Disney to supervise the team praised him,"This kid is a born actor.""

"I'm coming!"Martin was wearing fencing uniform and trotted out of his exclusive RV.
