Chapter 129 The business card is in the hands of the person who needs it(1/2)
For the sake of convenience such as expenses, the crew even held routine script reading meetings in Cabo San Lucas.
In the conference room of the Seaview Hotel, the main cast and crew of the production were all present for the first time.
Craven, Ajia and Martin, who represents the investors, form the three most powerful people in the crew.
And Sofia, who came to join in the fun on vacation.
But the female King Kong just listened out of curiosity 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 scene, she laughed sheepishly: "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 was exposed to film and television shooting when she was 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 hero's son, and the other represents 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 Tijuana and Juarez, but try not to go out alone.
Especially don’t leave the bustling area and go to the old town to enjoy the scenery.
When the crew goes on location, they also hire 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 cast of the main cast, 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. Their acting skills and understanding of the characters are not a problem.
The sexy actress who played the sister-in-law introduced herself, and then Martin remembered that this was a stripper who he, Ajia and Craven were discussing the plot of the role at the dancer club that night
Millie works as an actress and part-time stripper, and 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 very close to the hotel to adapt to the environment and rehearse.
All interior scenes of the crew will be filmed here.
The studio area is very close to the beach, and a football field is being built next to it.
Bruce went to ask and came back and said: "The set of "Summer of Jeans"."
Martin found a higher stone platform and observed: "The crew has many scenes, and they are filming a women's football training camp."
Bruce reminded: "Man, you are an actor, not a pervert."
Martin is very 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 all kinds of 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 soccer 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, a pervert, said: "I like crews with many actresses."
Ajia nodded repeatedly: "All the actors and actresses in our crew combined are not as many as their actresses."
Martin talked about 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 personnel. 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 played the role of a police dog trainer in his previous life, so he has some experience in dealing with dogs. After getting familiar with it for a while, he asked Daniel to loosen his muzzle and feed him some meat.
The animal actors used by Hollywood production 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 quickly 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 right 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."
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 tough personalities, which led to constant collisions, but his death angered you..."
"The main thing is not him." Martin also started from the character itself: "The main thing is 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 belonged to the studio area and was rented by the crew. Martin took off the leash, unmuzzled the dogs, and the two dogs 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 they gained a lot every time.
Yoga pants, camel toes and tights will make the Frisbee game exciting.
Martin threw the Frisbee, and the dog jumped up to catch it and automatically picked it back up.
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 brother Scott, who was carrying a bag.
Sophia wears a three-point swimsuit, revealing her exaggerated tendons, and looks like a female version of King Kong.
She waved to Martin: "Let's go for a swim in the sea together!"
Martin said casually: "I'm a terrible swimmer."
"It's okay." Sofia said with persistence: "Little Martin, follow me, Auntie will protect you."
Once these words come out, Martin will not let him go even if he is beaten to death.
Sophia reached back and 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, "Am I going to use this thing in the film?"
Catherine, the veteran actress 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 entered the water, Scott walked up to Martin and warned: "Idiot, stay away from Sophia."
Martin gave him a middle finger: "No one will snatch 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 bastard is free
