In the morning, Andrew came to Gray's company to report to Kelly Gray on the latest developments of the crew.

Kelly Gray was not there, and she accompanied Congressman Erica and Chairman Julia to Washington.

Andrew tried to call Ella, explain the situation, and went to Benjamin Calvin's office again.

Benjamin was leading someone to budget for a new play, and when he saw him coming, he went to the outer reception room and asked, "Why do you have time to come back today?" ”

Andrew handed the newspaper in his hand to Benjamin: "Something happened to the crew, Adam Smith was arrested by the DEA, and everyone was stolen, but fortunately he was just a small passerby over there and had little impact." ”

Benjamin, who has worked with Adam Smith on several productions, quickly took the newspaper and read: "The news is confirmed? ”

Andrew nodded: "The DEA officially notified the crew, I just reported to the boss, and the boss has gotten the news." ”

Benjamin quickly read the newspaper report and said: "Originally, I was still thinking about Adam continuing to play the leading role, he is not well paid, and he has some appeal in Joshua...... Don't think about it now. ”

Andrew heard: "That zombie dancer? Director, isn't the background of the same dancer club where Martin works? ”

Benjamin also considered Martin, and when he thought about it, he was more outstanding in appearance than Adam Smith and had good acting skills.

Andrew looked around, went to close the door, and lowered his voice: "As far as I know, Martin has a very good relationship with the boss. ”

Benjamin nodded slowly: "Don't think about Adam Smith's case, it seems that Martin is the most suitable." "Maybe this will increase the probability that the boss will give the project the green light? He added: "I'm making a budget, trying to keep it as low as possible, we don't have the money to hire celebrities." ”

Andrew said: "You can only dig in the existing resources, Adam can't come back anytime soon, and I recommend Martin." ”

Benjamin thought of it and said, "You can help me date Martin." ”

Andrew said, "I'm going to call him." ”

Benjamin looked at the office: "Don't worry, I'm only free in the afternoon." ”

Andrew asked for the time and immediately called Martin to meet at a café near Gray's Company.

Less than four o'clock, Martin arrived at Louie's café early.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Benjamin entered the door.

Martin greeted him: "Director, the circus you designed last time made me famous, and everyone around me knew me. ”

In a word, it not only poked Benjamin's pride, but also narrowed the distance, Benjamin laughed, never mentioning that the first choice in his mind was Adam Smith, and said: "I designed a play that is more suitable for you this time." ”

Martin was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Director, you personally designed the scene for me, and I am one step closer to a big star. ”

The two sat down at the booth and each ordered coffee and chatted slowly.

Benjamin took out the script from his briefcase and handed it to Martin: "Look at it, the script I wrote based on you can be regarded as tailor-made." ”

Martin had already read the script from Kelly Gray, and it was still like the first time he saw it, and he was relatively calm when he first read it, and the more he looked at it, the more surprises on his face.

After reading dozens of pages, he took a sip of coffee and was slightly excited: "Director, the scene is where I used to work!" ”

Benjamin smiled: "When I took someone to write this script, the actor from his appearance to the background, all he thought of was you, and you had to be the hero." ”

Martin asked, "When will the company start filming?" ”

Benjamin asked, "You didn't hear Kelly mention the project?" She hasn't given the green light yet. ”

Martin tapped his head: "The other night, I was drinking with Kelly, and she mentioned a script, but she didn't say anything specific, just said that the investment was too high and needed to be carefully considered. ”

Benjamin immediately caught the key to Martin's words and drank together in the evening!

Where to drink? How to drink? He pondered in his heart, and said: "I and many people in the company are working hard to promote this project, compared with the previous late-night scenes, the investment is indeed a bit high, but our goal is to push the film into the theater!" Screened in theaters throughout the state and across the United States. ”

Martin put on a thoughtful expression.

Benjamin encouraged: "You are the absolute male lead, do you want to join in early and promote this project together?" ”

"Of course I do!" Martin quietly changed direction: "That night, when Kelly mentioned the script, she said that the biggest problem was funding. ”

He asked Benjamin: "Director, how much money do you need?" ”

Benjamin hesitated for a moment and said, "$1 million, minimum." ”

Martin automatically added $500,000 and asked, "Director, can you get any other investment?" ”

Benjamin shook his head: "I've been working with Gray Company, the Atlanta film and television industry is just starting, and it's not easy to find investors. ”

Martin thought for a moment and said, "Kelly went to Washington, and when she comes back, I'll ask her again." ”

You can consult a professional first, and when Benjamin left, Martin called Louise Mayer, and she was about to send Kate Winslet.

The latter had a temporary family affair and had to leave Atlanta first.

Louise deliberately asked, "Are you coming?" Last chance. ”

Of course Martin is going, but it's not like the female pervert says: "I'm a civilized person, Kate only got married last month, and a good person like me never destroys other people's families." ”

Before going to the airport, he went to the souvenir shop and bought a crystalline Atlanta peach, which Atlanta nicknamed Peach City.

Martin knows the importance of connections, and Kate Winslet just got married for the second time in May, with a husband named Sam Mendes.

A director who has won an Oscar.

More than half an hour later, Martin was waiting for Kate Winslet and Louise Mayer at the international airport.

In the VIP room, Kate gently hugged Martin: "Thank you for coming to me, I like the gift you gave." ”

The artificial crystal peach in the transparent box is very beautiful, and there is a line engraved on the base - for the beloved Ruth Dawson.

Signed Martin Davis.

According to Louise, Kate said that she didn't care about the results of "Titanic" and just wanted to pursue artistic achievements, but in her heart she regarded it as the most proud thing in her life.

Kate cordially invited: "When you come to London one day, you must come to my house." ”

Martin replied, "If you don't entertain me, I'll call the door." ”

The flight boarded, and Kate Winslet got on the plane and left Atlanta.

Louise didn't go back to the set and called Martin to go to the hotel with her.

Entering the suite, kicking off her high heels, Louise walked to the bar in stockings, poured two glasses of wine, and took a big sip of herself before Martin came over.

Martin said with concern: "Drink slowly." ”

Louise pushed another cup in front of him: "I'll be back in Los Angeles soon, and I'm going to spread the penicillin recipe on a large scale, and I'm going to call it Penicillin with Louise and Martin." ”

"Penicillin called Louise is more appropriate." Martin didn't care about letting Louise monopolize fame, and he ran his finger across Louise's lips: "Because it heals the soul of Louise the drunkard and the Colorist." ”

Cocktails based on other alcoholic beverages cannot be patented, and the recipe is not worth a few bucks, and after tasting it, good drinkers can quickly imitate the blend.

Louise tilted her shoulders and leaned against the bar, showing off her curves, and said, "You have a big plan." ”

"I have something to tell you, the new script that Kelly said that day, the zombie dancer." Martin, in an appropriate way, said it roughly.

Louise clinked glasses with Martin, drank all the wine in the glass, and said: "Kelly's concerns are reasonable, as far as the industry as a whole is concerned, the proportion of movies that can be profitable in the short term is low. ”

She poured wine for herself and Martin: "But for you personally, the benefits are many. ”

Martin put on a look of listening intently.

Louise stretched out her hand and gently stroked Martin's good-looking face: "You gave me penicillin, I said I would give you some advice and help, just leave it today." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly asked, "Are you really ready?" This circle is ten or even a hundred times more chaotic than the darkest, meanest and dirtier portrayal of the media, and it is second only to the financial circles of New York and the political circles of Washington! ”
