Chapter 155: Seeking a New Job (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Early in the morning, while having breakfast at a nearby restaurant, Bruce told Martin about the previous night.

Martin was a little surprised: "It wasn't you who offered it, but she took the initiative to let you be the lead actor in the tape?" ”

Bruce deliberately put on a stinky fart look: "Hey, man, look at me, the real love saint is here!" ”

"It's going to evolve fast." Martin put down the knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin: "The most critical question, love St. Bruce, have you agreed?" ”

"I told her to think about it," Bruce said. ”

Martin pointed at him and said, "That's it?" Are you embarrassed to call yourself a love saint? You're clearly an eggless coward! ”

Bruce fought back: "Mr. scumbag, you dare to shoot?" ”

Martin did not hesitate to say: "If Anne invites me to shoot, I will definitely say yes!" ”

Bruce was really a little intimidated by Kim's request, and found reasons and excuses: "Kim will sell the tape to a distribution company for distribution throughout North America." ”

Martin was very caring, and even found a good job for Lao Bu at home: "Jenner's company will buy it." ”

"The point is not here, can you listen to me?" Bruce gave the reason he had racked his brains to find: "A gang of traffickers in Mexico are still looking for me, what if they see the tape and chase after me?" ”

Martin disdainful: "Don't you just show your face?" I'm sure you can do it. He also added fuel to the fire: "Don't forget, who are you?" You're Bruce, the man who makes Sophia the Adamant miss him. ”

Once again, Bruce threw down his knife and fork, got up and left, never to say a word to Martin today.

After breakfast, Martin rushed to Warner Studios to attend the studio's post-production and distribution meetings with Warner Bros. as production manager across the mountain with Eye on the Mountain.

At the meeting, the promotion of the film was discussed.

Given the success of the Wax Museum of Horrors in terms of publicity, Martin's suggestion was also heeded.

Of course, Martin can make suggestions and ideas, but to actually operate, it depends on the crew and the professionals of Warner Bros.

There is a large-scale propaganda campaign across the mountain, and it will not be launched until after the New Year.

Warner Bros. decided to push the film's ads into the Super Bowl.

In addition, Warner Bros. publicists reminded Martin that it is best to maintain a certain amount of heat until the film is released.

Craven's golden sign and the success of the wax museum have played a role in the blessing of the actor Martin.

After spending the third weekend in North America, the wax museum's North American box office has accumulated $47.56 million, and it will inevitably exceed $50 million in another week.

Overseas, the film has been released in more than 30 countries in Latin America, Europe and Australia, and the overseas box office has exceeded 30 million US dollars.

Not surprisingly, the global box office will exceed $100 million.

After the meeting, Martin went to Alexander's post-production studio next door, ready to call Louise to lunch together.

When he passed, Louise was sending Angelina Jolie out.

Julie had seen Martin last time and couldn't help but wonder, "Why don't you introduce me?" ”

Louise said generously: "The talented actor I discovered in Atlanta, Martin Davis. ”

Martin took the initiative and said, "Hello, Julie. ”

Julie shook Martin's hand: "I see a star rising. ”

When others said good things, Martin also complimented: "Julie, you are the bright moon in the night sky, and all the stars are eclipsed." ”

Julie said: "I'm just a second-rate actor. ”

Martin's words came as soon as he opened his mouth: "You are my idol and I like Laura." ”

The two chatted for a few words, and Julie's agent came over at this time, and she said goodbye and left quickly.

Martin followed Louise into the office, where the walls were littered with Alexander the Great propaganda materials.

He looked at the four makeup photos on the left-hand side, the four different makeup photos of Alexander the Great, and asked, "The male protagonist of this film is Colin Farrell, right?" ”

Louise glanced up: "Director Oliver Stone initially liked Heath Ledger, but I and several other producers were very concerned about his state and rejected the candidate. ”

She took off her black-rimmed eyes and rubbed her eyebrows: "The investment is too high, so I have to be cautious." ”

Martin sat down across from her and asked, "I heard there was a preview of the theater manager?" ”

Louise was worried again: "The word of mouth of the test screening is not very good. She paused slightly to express her concerns: "Hollywood has made a general mistake in judging the market, and the response to several epic films has been generally poor, and the possibility of losing money for this project is increasing." ”

Martin was relieved: "It's okay, I'll take care of you then." ”

Louise said directly: "At most, in a month, I will turn you into a pauper." ”

Martin said: "Alcoholics, look at people from the perspective of development, I am paid hundreds of thousands of dollars now, and if I succeed across the mountain, I will be paid seven figures." ”

Louise smiled and shook her head.

"I've done all the post-dubbing of the eyes across the mountain." Martin said seriously: "I'll be looking for a new job right away. ”

Louise asked, "Do you have any spare energy in Atlanta?" ”

Knowing that she was talking about Vincent and Sophia, Martin said: "As long as they have a good eye on the other side, they will definitely continue to participate in the platter and even invest more money." They are waiting for the release of the eyes across the mountain. ”

He cheekily asked directly: "Honey, do you have a suitable role or project to recommend to me?" ”

Louise didn't answer, and reminded emphatically: "The debt you owe me hasn't been paid yet. ”

Martin stretched out his hands: "Hey, drunkard, don't we have sincere feelings between us, desperate to pay for feelings?" I subtly ruled you, and you became an international master bartender. You have unspoken rules about me, I deserve to be an internationally famous movie star, right? ”

Louise threw away her worries and laughed happily.

After laughing, she added, "You're very good at making people laugh." ”

"Feeling good?" Seeing her nod, Martin said crisply: "International Master Mixologist Lady Louise Meyer, I heard that you have invented two new cocktails?" ”

Louise understood: "That's right, I'm going to publish it in the near future, and I'm really going to be the master bartender of the world." ”

Martin came over prepared, and gave her a notepad: "Master, can you help me sign in advance?" ”

Louise opened it and looked at it, and put it away with satisfaction: "Since you have a support group and can organize a platter, for the sake of fairness, I will give you a good chance." ”

She thought for a moment and said: "Pacific Pictures' script project library is open to you, including scripts submitted by screenwriters, projects recommended by directors, and initial plans for producers to attract investment. It is not as good as the six major companies, but there are still tens of thousands of scripts and initial plans for hundreds of projects. ”

Martin listened very excitedly, and the film company's script library was easily closed to the public.

Louise poured a basin of cold water first: "Most of them are useless, Hollywood has tens of thousands of original scripts registered every year, thousands of projects launch initial plans, and only a very small number of them eventually become movies." ”

Martin asked the latter: "What is the initial plan for the project?" ”

Louise said simply: "Just like a wax museum and a mountain across the mountain, most Hollywood movies do not have a script first, but the producer thinks of the right idea, or encounters a suitable adaptation of literary works and real people and real stories, and then begins to form a game, including attracting investment, finding a producer, finalizing the director, hiring a screenwriter to write the script......, etc."

She emphasized the adaptation: "A lot of the initial plans are just on paper, and the adaptation plans submitted by some producers are almost worthless if they are not invested, because they don't even have the copyright." ”

Martin carefully calculated, if he wanted to put together a set, what were the chances of success?

The funds must not be used by himself, and how can he have enough money to make a movie, he can only wait for the box office to be released across the mountain.

Connections, he glanced at Louise, it really can't be done, there is a brokerage company behind it.

Thinking of this, Martin shook his head secretly, the project has not been found yet.

Louise said, "In the afternoon, you come with me to Pacific Pictures, take your pick." ”

"You're really good at business! Drunkard, that's what you call fair trade? Martin said viciously: "Valuable items, you have already taken out the platter, and the rest is all moldy garbage thrown in the warehouse, and then thrown to me, using me as a garbage recycling station?" ”

Louise told the truth: "I don't have a suitable project on my hands for the time being. ”

Enter a film and television company's script library to check and choose at will, and Martin certainly won't miss it.

At noon, Louise had lunch with Martin, and the two went to Pacific Pictures, next door to Warner Studios.

The company doesn't produce films directly, has a small number of employees, and the three-story office building is also rented from Warner Studios.

Louise drank and planned to take her lunch break to her assistant Nikki to take Martin to the database on the first floor.

The custodian has been notified by Louise and has led Martin into the warehouse.

He pointed to the computer: "There is a catalog search here, you can find the project summary, except for the script that the company buys out the copyright will be retained for a long time, other scripts, planning documents and the like, will be cleaned up once a year." ”

Martin nodded, "Thank you." ”

"You feel free." The custodian leaves.

Martin sat in front of the computer, just about to turn it on, when suddenly the most important thing rang, and he quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Robert: "It's me, do me another favor." ”

The other side automatically replied: "I understand, the ceremony will be held immediately." ”

Martin said that it has evolved into a special ritual? He said, "Thank you, Robert. ”

"You're welcome." Robert seemed to be saying a prayer: "I wish Martin Davis all the best." ”

Martin was full of confidence, pressed the power button, opened the database, and looked up the scripts and project materials of the last year.

He first read the script, glanced at the name, and then looked at the synopsis of the story.

Before many Hollywood movie scripts were put into production, the names may have changed several times, and some of the titles of films from previous lives are not literal translations into English.

Even for a small company like Pacific Pictures, there are thousands of pieces of content.

As long as the name is not familiar and the synopsis of the story is not impressed, Martin passes directly.

After looking for a long time, there is no familiar feeling.

Martin is thinking about it, it really can't work, and he will continue to engage in this style when he has an eye for one person, one gun and one dog across the mountain.

But without a strong social media boost, it's hard to say how effective it is.

His current fame and appeal are much worse than Keanu's former Keanu.

The third more is sent, ask for a monthly pass!
