Chapter 63: Jumping up and down

Companies in rapid development are always underfunded, and Gray Film and Television is no exception.

Through this collaboration with Hollywood, Kelly Gray saw a bright future in the studio rental business.

Of course, the basic disk of film and television production cannot be lost.

Kelly was interested: "Let's talk about it." ”

Martin had already thought about it: "The house of the beast where I worked before, the owner was Vincent Lee, and his stepmother was Sophia, a muscular girl who was keen on fitness, and they came from Savannah. ”

Kelly immediately got to the point: "Whitewashing through night games, not other high-end methods, their strength is limited. ”

"They're just rats in the gutter when it comes to ATL women's vice presidents and future councillors, but to me, they're behemoths," Martin said. ”

Kelly didn't laugh with Martin, and asked directly, "What is the daily flow of water in the House of the Beast?" ”

"I don't know the exact number." Martin could only estimate based on tickets and sales: "Forty thousand dollars a day less." ”

Kelly picked up her phone: "You wait. ”

She made a phone call: "Brother, take up a little of your precious time, help me inquire about one thing, Vincent Lee and Sophia of Savannah, the former opened the Beast House Club on Saijo Street, and I am going to pull them to invest in movies, which is the Hollywood model I mentioned to you, is there a problem on my side." ”

Martin heard Louise mention that Kelly's family conditions are very good, but the family's resources basically fall on the men.

It didn't take long for a phone call to come in, and the person who replied was simple and direct: "They are engaged in smuggling, and if there is a problem, it is only a small trouble." ”

"Thanks, I'll bring you a gift when I go home someday." Kelly Gray put away her phone and said in business: "If you can get enough investment, you are the actor, the more money you get, the higher your salary, I can give you a position as a production manager, and let you get double pay." ”

Martin confirmed: "Theatrical films? ”

Kelly smiled: "As long as the funding problem is solved, everything else is easy to say, there will be the Savannah Film Festival in the second half of the year, and the film can be sold at the festival, I have a relationship with Louise in Hollywood, and it is not a problem to invite distributors to come and watch the film." ”

"Will it affect you badly?" Martin looks like he cares about people.

Kelly's heart rose a little warm, and she grabbed Martin's hand and kissed it lightly: "It's not just you who want to cross the class, but also me, money is one of the best tools." ”

Martin hugged her and sat on his lap: "Let's work together. ”

Kelly sighed softly: "It would be nice if you were from a wealthy family." ”

This unrealistic thought flashed through her, and she asked, "Another tool I use to cross classes is equality, do you have any other good ideas?" ”

Martin told the truth: "I can only think of some despicable and shameless rotten ways. ”

Kelly shrunk into his arms and sat in a comfortable position: "It's easy to use." ”

Martin thought about it carefully and said: "Find a male celebrity who has a lot of influence, but is not powerful enough, and has repeatedly hurt women, investigate and collect evidence in private, find an opportunity to kill with a fatal blow, and you take advantage of the situation to set off a wave of defending women's rights and interests and be a real leader." ”

Kelly mixed with Hollywood, suddenly thought of a personal choice, and said: "It must match the timing of my rise." ”

"I'm only responsible for bad ideas," Martin said. ”

Kelly propped herself up, looked down, sat down again, and let out a sigh, "I suddenly don't want to let you go to Los Angeles." ”

…………

In the afternoon, Martin came out of Kelly's apartment building, drove her BMW 7, and headed for Saijo Street.

Along the way, he was thinking about rhetoric.

With Kelly Gray, you can say it directly, because Kelly Gray will not reveal anything to the outside world.

But Vincent, on his side, would be better off putting it another way.

Near Saijo Street, Martin called Vincent and said he had something to talk about, and Vincent asked him to go to the club.

Martin came to the club, went straight up to the second floor and into the office.

Vincent, wearing a rolled-rimmed cowboy hat, sat behind his desk, roasting his cigar unhurriedly, and when he looked up, his sharp hooked nose was facing Martin: "Sit as you like." ”

Martin pulled out a chair and sat down: "Boss, long time no see, I heard that the club business has been booming. ”

Vincent was very satisfied with what Martin had done before, and rarely smiled: "Your contribution is great. ”

"Boss, I'm coming here this time to bring a new opportunity." Martin made no mention of money laundering: "It can make the club famous all over the state, and if you're lucky, it can even spread all over the United States." ”

He heard Bruce mention that Vincent had been to Las Vegas: "Then the boss can open the club to Las Vegas." ”

Because of the previous success, Vincent valued Martin very much, asking, "What chance?" ”

"Investing in a film, a film set in a club of dancers, director Benjamin of Gray Films spent months polishing the script, filming and producing it and showing it in theaters across the United States," Martin said. ”

Vincent didn't speak, an industry he wasn't familiar with.

Martin took out the script and handed it to Vincent: "Boss, you know me, I won't do anything I'm not sure of." ”

Without the success of the previous time, Martin would not have come over so quickly.

Vincent flipped through the script, skimmed it quickly, and after reading a few pages, he was sure that the story was indeed set in the Dancing Men's Club, and the ring stage mentioned in it matched the House of the Beast.

This was originally created in the background of Martin's part-time job.

So, no matter how Vincent looks at it, it looks like a story that takes place in the House of the Beast.

Even a layman could imagine that once the movie was shown on a large scale, the House of the Beast would inevitably become famous.

Martin added: "The film project has received the green light from Kelly Gray, and the Gray company will issue a notice in the newspaper tomorrow to solicit investment from the whole society, boss, as soon as I get the news, I will come and inform you." ”

Vincent wondered: "They are looking for investment from the society?" ”

"This is normal in the film industry, such as the famous "The Godfather", which is said to have financial backing from certain forces in Italy. "Saving Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers", with investment from India......"

The latter Vincent did not know, but the former he had heard, thought of the Italians and the movie, and immediately understood the meaning of Martin's words.

He took off his cowboy hat and lit a toasted cigar: "You know a lot, invest in movies......"

"Boss, I said when I left, I'm always part of the club!" Martin interrupted Vincent: "I've always been a poor boy living in Clayton, if it wasn't for the boss you took me in and gave me a job, I wouldn't be where I am today." ”

"What a Jack Davis is, boss, you know. When I became an adult, the three people who helped me the most, two of them were from the club, one was the boss you, and the other was Lao Bu, you saved my life several times! ”

It's just Lao Bu, that's not an exaggeration.

Martin said: "The boss of Gray Film and Television is Kelly Gray, she is an Atlanta, her family and company are in Atlanta, and the Gray family has always had a good reputation, so I dare to recommend this project and let the boss invest in you." ”

Locals and local companies are indeed more reliable than outsiders, and Vincent remembers hearing of the Gray family somewhere.

Martin said: "Boss, although I am from a poor background, I also know how to be grateful. ”

"That's all?" Vincent didn't believe anyone was so simple.

Martin scratched his head embarrassedly: "Kelly Gray promised me that as long as I can get investment, let me be the leading actor in the film." ”

Vincent pointed at him, "You kid! ”

Martin hurriedly said: "I also recommended a boy group, and then let Hart and them act as dancers, which is very good publicity." ”

He emphatically said: "At that time, they will all be paid actors. ”

The latter sentence reminded Vincent: stuff your own people into the crew, and the salary is empty......

He looked past Martin and looked at the hall of the club, which was used as a set during the day and as a studio at night, and said that building a studio on a one-to-one basis was another "normal" expense!

No wonder the Italians invested in the godfathers, no wonder the Germans and Indians are crazy about investing in Hollywood.

Even if he is a layman, there are many places where he can think of reasonable accounting.

After a while, Vincent said, "I'll think about it." ”

Martin left the office and went downstairs with his hands in his pockets and turned off his voice recorder.

This will only feel tired, it is too difficult to get a leading actor in a cinema movie, jumping up and down like a monkey.
