Chapter 5: Visionary Martin

On the way to the airport, Sophia sat in the back seat of a Cadillac and said to Tommy, who was chatting with Martin about black pop culture: "Raul and Michelle asked me privately why you let them do their preliminary work without talking to them alone, and they were a little apprehensive. ”

"It's nothing, the main thing is that Susan called me and wanted to meet and talk to me, and BT TV's business activities and copyright production and sales are all issues that need to be considered in the later stage, and the most important thing in the early stage is Rick's programming ideas." Tommy said to Sophia: "And Rick has to think about it, he hasn't done this business, and even has to digest the impact of those shows on him, I can understand it, after all, he helped Lively as a small filmmaker after graduating from USC, but of the four, I like Rick the most, he is very pure." ”

Sophia shrugged, "I thought you'd like Sean Ray more, after all, you've been talking to him for so long." ”

"Sean is decent, neither good nor bad, a little cunning, likes to be tempting and so on, and it depends on his later work to give an evaluation of him." Tommy looked at Sophia:

"Guess what attracted me the most when Mark introduced me to Rick?"

"Professional, USC film and television production, and young enough?" Sophia said, sorting out the itinerary in her hand.

"No, because if that guy is not capable enough to sit in the position of vice president of programming on BT TV, we can still get him into BT Film and Television Production Company as a producer, that guy has a set of cost control, Mark and you both pay attention to his glamorous side, and I noticed that the worst small movie in his production career, only a pair of male and female protagonists, forty minutes long, sales of 730 sets, 730 sets, actually made a profit, I mean, even if he doesn't rent a venue, I carried the camera to find two homeless people, and used two hamburgers to make them stand on the street**, and I also had to pay a fine, and counting other labor costs, how could I make a profit? No way, I suspected at the time that he was falsifying his resume. Tommy seemed to be talking about a very rare thing, and said excitedly to Sophia:

"Profit, not even capital preservation, I asked Mark to ask again, how can that guy sell only 730 sets and still make money, you can't imagine it, that's definitely the idea that makes me shoot the case, that's why after I talked to him, I decided that the program he designed and produced will definitely be eye-catching."

"Boss, you must be a master of storytelling, your appetite is simply a master, I'm already and thirsty in the co-pilot, you just tell me how he sold it, so ......" Martin, the black bodyguard, sat in the co-pilot and couldn't help asking, but unfortunately before he finished speaking, he heard a crackling electric shock, Martin let out a "ah~" scream and then lost his voice, and the whole person closed his eyes on the co-pilot and stopped moving.

"Mr. Page, what did you do?" Sovia saw that Paige who was driving seemed to be magical, holding a stun stick in one hand, and asked in shock, "Why did you attack Martin?" Stop now, check Martin out, and take him to the nearest hospital! ”

"Don't worry, Miss O'Connor, this is a female anti-wolf shocker, the power is very low, I just taught him how to be a quiet bodyguard, don't speak casually when the boss speaks, cultivate his professional habits, and by the way, tell him that two weekly salaries are not easy to earn." Page drove the car with a calm face and said in his mouth.

The other Tommy didn't care, and when he heard the two weekly salaries, he was a little puzzled: "What two weekly salaries?" He is not a regular employee of the TV station, at most he is an outsourced employee of Mark's company, why does he have two weekly salaries, and what did you give him to give him some unrealistic fantasies? ”

"He said he helps you be a bodyguard, and he also needs to help the TV station employees with hairstyles, which are two jobs, so he gets two salaries." Page glanced at Martin, who was leaning against the co-pilot, pretending to be dead, and his eyelids trembled slightly.

Hearing that Martin wanted a double salary, Tommy said decisively: "Mr. Paige, do you still have enough power for your stun baton?" Next time he is curious about the salary, don't hesitate, turn on the electricity to the maximum, if he can bear it, I will allow you to buy a more powerful electric shock rod, and the company will reimburse the expenses. ”

"Tommy~ It's not a joke, Mr. Page is deliberately hurting others!" Sophia got up from the back seat and leaned forward, trying to check Martin's condition.

"Don't worry, Sophia, if Martin is killed by this stun baton that can't even be electrocuted by stray cats, we'll save two salaries, and if he's alive, I'll probably consider paying him an extra barber's salary, ......"

"I'm still alive, Mr. Hawke, and thank you for saying you're willing to pay me two salaries." Martin sat up straight from the co-pilot, turned his head to look at Tommy and Sophia, showed his white teeth and said with a smug smile: "Mr. Page said that Mr. Hawke is not willing to pay me a salary, and you give that black man a weekly salary of two thousand, you can see that you are not a stingy person." ”

"Hand me that stun baton, Mr. Page." While Tommy smiled gently at Martin, he stretched out his hand in the direction of Page: "I'm going to make Martin cool to the sky~ Although that thing can't kill stray cats, I think it will definitely kill Martin." ”

Martin raised his hands exaggeratedly: "Boss, so, how does that red curly hair make money, can I finish telling a complete story before I am electrocuted by you?" ”

"I mailed it to many cults in the United States, telling them that this is a church movie, telling the story of Adam and Eve's encounter, and the male and female protagonists are devout believers, just to restore the Bible scene in their hearts, not an adult movie, but a holy art, regardless of whether those churches really believe his nonsense or not, anyway, more than 700 sets were sold, and it was still a high price, most of them were female believers who were bought back by those churches to fool their own families." Tommy opened his mouth to give the answer.

Martin's brain obviously didn't react, and after listening to Tommy's answer, his expression was strangely stunned for a few seconds, and then he asked uncertainly, "You mean, that curly-haired boy, who sold that kind of movie to the church?" And more expensive than selling to the average person? White people are bastards, it's blasphemy! He should be glad that he is not black, we black people care about faith, and honestly, if he did this kind of thing in the black community of Miami, even if God was merciful and didn't send down thunder and fire to burn him to this evil heretic, we would burn him. ”

"By the way, Martin, Rick heard that you were a barber and considered making you a TV star on a show." Tommy said with a smile as he watched Martin's angry reaction.

"Me?" Martin looked at Tommy, "Me? Boss, you're saying that my third paycheck is already looming? After bodyguards and barbers, would I still be a TV star? Appearing on TV? ”

Tommy nodded: "If Rick hadn't been burned by God, yes, it was possible." ”

"The next time he wants to sell a small movie to the church, I am willing to help him deliver it, whatever, God didn't expect to bless me to become a star." Martin immediately changed his tune and said, "So what should I do?" ”

Tommy lowered his voice, approached Martin, and said word by word: "My advice to you is to give up receiving the salary of a bodyguard and a barber, and wait to become a TV star with an amazing net worth." ”

"Don't trust him, Martin, he's just trying to get rid of your paycheck." As a person who has come over, Sophia said with a smile next to her.

Martin glared at his innocent eyes, looked at Sophia, and then at Tommy, "I choose to believe you, boss, from the moment I knew that you could pay that two thousand a week's wages and not do anything for him, I knew that you were a good person to be trusted." ”

Sophia sighed: "You have such a good eye, Martin, no wonder you can find such a strange job." ”

Let's code another chapter during the day, my daughter-in-law and son are currently in the hospital, and I am so busy that my brain can't turn anymore......
