Chapter 52: Business is business

Less than ten o'clock, Kate Winslet left, and Martin mixed three cups of sweet and sour mojitos, ready to drink them and take his leave.

Kelly's words caught his attention: "Benjamin, the director of the company's perennial collaboration, just gave me a script, and he wanted to make a theatrical movie."

She opened the bag she brought, took out a script, and handed it to Louise: "You are experienced, help me read it." ”

Martin was very curious, so he didn't come over for the time being, the script involves trade secrets, so it's better to pay a little attention.

Louise only flipped through the first dozen pages, and said: "You can find a bunch of scripts in the library of any Hollywood film company, you have been in Hollywood, similar to this kind of B-grade film, the quality of the film has little to do with the script." ”

She said bluntly: "Zombie vampires, the most vulgar B-grade movie theme, the only thing new is that the vampire dancer has been replaced by a vampire dancer." ”

Kelly suddenly turned to look at Martin: "Actually, the original idea came from Martin, he played a dead body, and joked with me about letting the supporting actress pick up the body, I casually mentioned it to Benjamin, and Benjamin wrote this script with Martin's real resume of working in a dancing club." ”

At this point, Martin had plenty of reason to interject: "Kelly, should you send me a red envelope and give me some royalties?" ”

Louise was slightly surprised: "You are really versatile, and you have also been a dancer?" ”

Martin corrected: "The number one bartender in the Dancing Men's Club." He said to Kelly, "Could it be that you made the script for me?" I'm so touched, how can I thank you? ”

Louise suddenly said, "Penicillin can cure everything, thank you for everything." ”

Kelly didn't understand at all: "What do you mean?" Penicillin? What did you do that you didn't dare to say to me? ”

Martin and Louise looked at each other and smiled, but neither spoke.

"You dog men and women!" Kelly scolded with a smile and said: "If this script wants to be effective, at least $1 million, the cost that the director said is discounted, and once filming starts, the ghost knows how much to add." ”

Louise knew something about her friend: "Gray can't even come up with $1 million, right?" ”

Kelly said: "I'm going to buy GM's factories, all of them will be converted into studios, and they will be rented out, because with the current situation in the automotive industry, GM will not be able to start the ATL production center, and the factory area is close to a large cemetery, and the land is not very valuable." ”

The promotion to vice chairman gave Kelly confidence: "The preferential policies for film and television introduced by Joozhou can attract you as a crew, and you can also attract other crews in the future, Atlanta does not have a professional filming base, and I am communicating with the city hall and the state government through the women's association, and by the way, I want a subsidy for the construction of a film and television base." ”

Louise agreed: "You're right, a lot of Hollywood companies are attracted to the tax breaks in Georgia, and Gray & Co. can provide supporting services, and they are happy to cooperate. Kylie, making movies, you're a rookie, but in business, I'm not as good as you. ”

Kelly picked up the script: "If there is a problem in my capital chain, not only will the plan be seriously affected, but the company will even go bankrupt." ”

Martin looked at Kelly, this woman is not stupid and sweet, he can catch her and climb up, but also because she sees that she has the value of being a gun.

Kelly held her wine glass and leaned against Louise: "Hollywood, you spread the news for me." ”

Louise, a female pervert, pinched Kelly's chin and looked at the mirror opposite: "If I don't help you, who else can I help?" We are now people in the same mirror. ”

Martin spread his hands: "Please pay attention to the civilized language. ”

Kelly laughed, and from the moment she tasted the paper airplane, she was going to use Martin for a gun.

This gun is more than you can imagine.

Martin guessed these too, but he got what he wanted.

This three-way deal, at present, no one loses.

Louise saw Kelly put away the script: "Really give up? ”

Kelly replied, "Unless you have plenty of money." ”

Louise said to Martin: "Macho man, you can even get an equal rights kettle, quickly think of a way for Kelly." ”

Martin asked rhetorically: "I want to come out, you dare to use it?" ”

"Say it." Kelly didn't count on him, just laughed.

Martin wasn't, either: "Kelly, you're ...... Let me think, yes, you are Wendi Deng, Murdoch's wife Wendi Deng, and then call those who want to be famous, saying that there is a movie project that wants a leading actor, and you happen to see his performance, praise him as a genius, and want to get involved and hurry up and pay money. ”

Kelly frowned: "Such a low-level fraud? ”

Martin shrugged: "You can't expect me to engage in financial scams, I haven't been exposed to them at all, two beauties, I'm just a small person." ”

Louise instead said, "It's possible to succeed, but you have to pose as a heavyweight." ”

"The scam is successful, and the FBI will come to the door soon." Kelly can think of the consequences: "Whether it's Wendi Deng or Katherine Kennedy, the other party will inevitably put pressure on the FBI, and then I'm finished." ”

She said casually: "I'd rather learn from Hollywood and cooperate with money laundering." ”

Louise couldn't help but laugh: "Can you handle it?" ”

Kelly was full of confidence: "I couldn't do it before, but after the affirmative water kettle, I can handle it without involving the powerful people in Atlanta." ”

Even in the new century, money laundering and black-box operations are still the norm in this industry, and Kelly and Louise don't take it very seriously.

Martin poured himself another glass of wine, sat down in his chair, and tasted it slowly.

After a while, he asked Kelly, "Can I read the script?" ”

Kelly handed it to him: "Don't think about it, it's not tailored for you, our friendship is friendship, business is business, I can still consider it under $500,000." ”

"I'm just looking." Martin continued to flip through the script.

The plot of a standard vulgar B-grade movie, a vampire dancer uses a man to seduce a woman, sucks blood and eats it to worship the evil god by the way, and the sister who avenges her sister does not hesitate to sacrifice her hue, and after finding out the situation, she leads a group of fierce-chested huntress to rush into a big melee in the dancer club.

Among them, the heaviest role is the heroine and the big boss of the vampire dancer.

Martin has been in contact with many crews, and according to the rough estimate of the script, it is difficult to get 500,000 US dollars for a single service and action stunts.

…………

Saijo Street, black bar.

In the large private room on the second floor, Lynn was crooked on the sofa, and the person fell into a strange state, fluttering and not knowing why.

Adam Smith and Ward, both of them, saw the dozen or so pages of copies of the script he had brought.

Ward said, "This vampire dancer is tailor-made for you. ”

Adam Smith closed the script and picked up the information next to him: "Martin Davis was in the Dancing Men's Club, Lynn just mentioned it, and Benjamin wrote the script based on Martin. ”

He was extremely tempted: "The actor of the theater movie! ”

Ward found out that Martin had all sorts of information on the surface, such as living in the Clayton community, working part-time as an extra at the age of sixteen, working as a maintenance worker, owing money to loan sharks, working as a bartender at the House of the Beast, and joining the ATL Women's Club by chance.

The door to the private room opens from the outside, and the owner, Poyet, and the Latin assistant Diego enter.

"How's it going, Adam?" Poyet habitually pulled out the crotch of his pants: "I'm giving you a new product, right?" ”

Adam pointed at Lynn: "It's all good, you see him, it's a lot of enjoyment." ”

Poyet sat next to Adam: "Listen to Ward, you have some troubles?" ”

Adam gestured with his eyes: "A bastard named Martin Davis, trying to steal my job." ”

"Where the hell have I heard this name?" Poyet didn't think about it, and said, "You can't lose your job, you can help me get in touch with those damn upper-middle-class people and sell them for a high price!" ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered: "Is the bartender at the Beast House opposite called Martin Davis?" ”

Adam said: "Bastard Martin does work part-time on the other side. ”

Poyet stood up and pulled out a gun from his crotch: "I'm going to kill him!" There is news that the house of beasts robbing customers is all the brainchild of this bastard! ”

Diego hurriedly reached out and grabbed Poyet: "No, don't! ”

"He's just a poor boy in the slums!" ”

Diego snatched the pistol and handed it to Poyet, who looked down and was dazzled by a large text: "I don't understand." ”

"Martin Davis is an official social investigator for the ATL Women's Association and has received a special certificate of honor from the Women's Association." Diego has a clearer understanding of the social situation: "Now women are going to make such a fuss, if they really want to kill Martin Davis, will they ignore it?" ”

Poyet was impulsive, and his head was not dizzy: "We are black, no, you are not, you are not." ”

He tapped Adam's forehead lightly, "Man, make sure you your job, don't let me see you're worthless." ”

After Diego and Poyet left, Adam Smith and Ward frowned.

The two discussed for a while, and Adam Smith suddenly remembered the entertainment news he had seen at the beginning of the year: "Robert Downey Jr. was released from prison last year. ”
