Chapter 6
Grant originally just wanted to scare his son, but he didn't expect that his son actually did something else behind his back.
"You said you wrote a script and sent it to your Aunt Nancy?"
"Yes, Dad, counting the time, she should have received it almost, maybe reading it now."
Martin laughed.
…………
In an exquisite small villa.
Nancy Myers opened the thick envelope in her hand, feeling a little strange. She didn't know what her little nephew had sent to her.
"match made in heaven? A script? Nancy Myers' eyes widened,"Author: Martin Meyers?" This kid wrote a script!"
Nancy Myers thought for a moment that this was a prank played by her nephew. Wouldn't it be some naughty kid's nonsense?
But after turning the first page, she found that it was really a script, and there were also drawings She shot the storyboard and drew it very professionally.
Soon, she was attracted by the content of the script...
The script describes a couple who separated due to a misunderstanding. They have a pair of twin sons. Among them, Mike grew up with his father in California, and Baker Then he lived with his mother in London, and the couple had a tacit understanding and sent their sons to the same summer camp 11 years later...
At a summer camp in Maine, 11-year-old Mike Parker met Baker James.Although the two men have strikingly similar looks, they were sworn enemies at first.
Mike didn't like Baker, and Baker was equally reluctant to ignore Mike. But they both had some traits in common: they were allergic to strawberries, good at poker, and A prank.
When the two were sarcastic to each other, they accidentally talked about their father and mother. They looked exactly the same. One only had his father and the other only had his mother. They were both eager to know what their mother or father was like.
Two smart people The little boy suddenly discovered something strange. The two took a pair of photos of their parents and found that the photos that were torn in half could be put together into a complete photo. The two suddenly realized that the other person they were seeing was themselves. The twin brothers...
Nancy was fascinated by the story. This warm and romantic story moved her deeply.
Of course!
You must know that the reason why Martin chose to create (copy) this script and send it to Nancy was Because this story was originally created by Nancy in 1997, I naturally feel familiar with the story I wrote.
(PS: The original script is adapted from the novel"The Two Little Lotts" by the German writer Ilyich Kastner , here because the plot needs to be changed to Martin's original work.)
However, the reason why Martin thought of writing this script was not entirely because of Aunt Nancy, but also because of his good friend Lindsay Lohan.
Lindsay Lohan confirmed that it was the original Starring in"The Ones", and became a famous child star in Hollywood with this movie in 1998.
Yes, the twins in the original"The Ones" were a pair of little girls, one of whom was played by Lindsay Lohan The two characters showed superb acting skills that are not suitable for their age.
But now... Although the other party is his good friend and admirer, Martin still did not hesitate to write the protagonist as twin boys. After all, in his plan, this Movies were his stepping stone to stardom

Jingle bell, jingle bell……
"Hello, this is the Meyers family, who are you?"
"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Nancy, looking for Mr. Grant, please wait!"
"Hello, Nancy"
"Grant, you know, Martin Jr. wrote me a script"
"Yes, yes, I know, just found out"
"You knew already? Well, it's not surprising, but he writes so well, tell me honestly, have you, have you……"
"No! Nancy, don’t worry, you didn’t find a ghostwriter, you didn’t find a gunman, and you didn’t ask anyone to provide any help. This was completely done by Martin alone."
"Oh my god it's true Martin is so awesome it's unbelievable he's only eleven years old"
"Yes, this is not the first time I heard this description today. In fact, Martin has also created a fairy tale, which Random House is ready to publish."
"Oh my God, Martin is a genius. You lucky guy. Get Martin on the phone. I want to have a chat with him."
"Sorry, our family is getting ready to go out for dinner. It's too late today, why not tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, tomorrow is okay, I will call you tomorrow, no, I will come to your house tomorrow, tomorrow is the weekend, let Martin wait for me at home."
That night.
It was already late at night.
But Linda tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
"Grant, are you asleep?"
"No"
"I can not sleep"
"Me too"
"Grant, do you think our little Martin is really a genius?"
Everything that happened today was like a dream, which made Linda, who had calmed down, worry about gains and losses.
"Don't worry, Martin is a genius, at least when it comes to writing. A fairy tale and a script, and Benjamin and Nancy’s approval, doesn’t that prove it?"
"Me, I just can't believe it, as if I'm dreaming, I actually gave birth to a little genius! Linda smiled like an aunt
"No, it's us, we gave birth to a little genius!"Grant emphasized.
The next day,
Nancy came as expected.
The first thing she did when she came to the door was to hold Martin in her arms and give her a good squeeze.
It took a long time for Martin to break away, and his delicate little face turned red. Don't get me wrong. That’s too much to hold back!
"Aunt Nancy, let's talk about the script."
Martin's aura when he faced Benjamin before was gone.
"No, I will talk to Grant about the specific things. I just want to ask you now, do you want to act in this movie?"
"You must be thinking about it, right?"
"Those 11-year-old twin brothers were the ones you prepared for yourself, right?"
"Martin, do you want to be a star?"
"In this case, let's license this script to my aunt for free. Don't worry, my aunt will get you a good salary."
Martin was dumbfounded. He didn't expect you to be such an Aunt Nancy. You have finished speaking. What did I say?
So he couldn't help but spit out:"Aunt Nancy, do you know what the iron rooster means? Without waiting for Nancy to answer, he imitated the speed of her speech and said quickly:"This is a Chinese metaphor, which means that the iron cock never plucking a hair, describing stinginess, stinginess, and Grandet.""
"The script is licensed to my aunt for free, and the remuneration is paid by the film company. Aunt, you definitely want to get the rights to produce and direct. You are eating both!"
Nancy looked at Martin with some surprise. This little guy can think of so much in just one sentence?
He looked at Grant, and his brother gave him a proud look. Yes, my son is so sharp!
