The pickup truck turned into the parking lot, and Martin looked at the small building not far away, where many paparazzi had gathered at the entrance of the building.

These guys have a very keen sense of smell.

Los Angeles is an actor per capita, and a news source per capita.

Bruce made a call and said, "Mene's agent, Munir, and the lawyer are already inside." ”

Martin opened the door and got out of the car, walked with Bruce towards the office building, ignored the paparazzi reporters, and entered the office building.

Immediately a civilian officer led them into an office.

Munir and the lawyer were waiting here.

Martin asked, "Are you all right?" ”

"You're a good person, you can leave after paying the bail," Munir said. ”

Martin asked directly, "How much is it missing?" ”

"I made up some of it, and part of Mene's salary is still there." Munir hurriedly said: "There is still $5,000 left." ”

Martin wrote a check for $5,000 and handed it to Munir, who and his lawyer went to get out on bail.

After some time, the two men led Mene out.

Mene saw Martin and lowered his head: "Boss......"

"It's okay." Martin walked out first: "Get out of here first." ”

He also reminded: "There are paparazzi and reporters outside. ”

Mene slowed down slightly: "Boss, you and Lao Bu go first, and I'll go out later." ”

"Fitness Center Convergence in North Hollywood." Martin and Bruce go first.

When the two got into the car, Mene happened to come out of the building, and the paparazzi reporters were excited, and the microphone was eager to be stuffed into Mene's mouth.

Bruce laughed heartlessly: "He's grabbed the headlines again." ”

Martin shook his head: "Don't make headlines like that." ”

Arriving at the fitness club, Bruce opened a separate lounge, and after a little waiting, Mene and Munir walked in together.

Martin asked for some wine and snacks: "Sit casually." ”

Mene cried and mourned: "Victoria has no work ethic, I won't say anything if I've had enough, and I'll be caught for errands!" ”

Martin said, "Fishing." ”

Bruce knows a lot: "The FBI often does this, using fake news to fish for dealers or perverted ...... on the Internet"

Munir interjected, "Lawyer, as far as the bail intermediary is concerned, he said that Mene was too happy with Paris and has long been targeted by the LAPD. ”

Martin asked Mene, "I remember you saying you confiscated her money." ”

Mene was helpless: "She secretly stuffed me in my pocket for $100 this time, and I didn't pay attention at all!" $100 and I'm worth $100! ”

Bruce asked, "They didn't ask anything else?" Like the club you're in? ”

"Nope." "I was warned not to talk nonsense, my nuclear weapons could kill me in there, and I didn't say a word," Mene said. ”

Bruce said: "It's okay, you're not stupid, don't be fooled by external propaganda, they don't do things very well." ”

Martin asked Munir, "What did the lawyer say?" ”

Munir asked carefully and said, "In the end, it should be a high fine, probation, community service." ”

Martin reminded Mane: "You'd better not go to that club, settle down lately, and don't get caught and hurt again." ”

Mene lowered his head and said, "Boss, I listen to you. He vowed: "I will return the money to you as soon as possible." ”

Martin waved his hand: "If there is an audition opportunity, you can audition normally, and when you don't, you will assist the crew in the preliminary planning." ”

Munir was just a small agent, kicked Mene and said: "I will keep an eye on him, if he dares to come nonsense, I will sell him to Mexico!" ”

Mene was first tired of being played, and then he was arrested and sent to the errand, and his usual escape was gone: "I'll report to the studio tomorrow." ”

Munir was the first to leave.

Mene walked out the back door of the fitness center alone, glanced back, and said to himself, "I thought the boss would throw me away." ”

Not to mention helping the boss register the studio, even if he faces 20 people over fifty years old, he will rush up for Martin Boss.

No matter how much it is, you have to think about it, after all, it is a matter of life.

In the lounge, Martin couldn't help but say, "LAPD also plays so much." ”

Bruce shrugged: "Spending public money, enjoying the body and mind, you don't think that LAPDs are both law-abiding and professional ethics, right?" ”

Martin laughed: "How so. ”

Because of the short time, he still remembers reading a news article before suffocating to death, and the Los Angeles official himself publicly or leaked all the information on the LAPD's undercover list.

What a thing this is, and those LAPDs in special positions are estimated to doubt life.

Bruce added, "A friend of mine in the military said that the biggest gang in Los Angeles was the LAPD. ”

The following day, with the cooperation of professional institutions, Mene registered and set up a separately accounted for "Wanted" studio, which rented a small studio at Warner Studios.

Buying out the comic book rights, screenwriter Michael Bradt's screenwriting fees, and various other expenses and provisions, Martin has invested $700,000 in the project, which will be fully factored into the film's production costs.

Counting the various costs incurred during the period, such as labor and management, at least $2 million would be invested.

This is definitely a conscience price in Hollywood.

Six major companies such as Warner Bros. operate platter projects, and 50 million dollars of films are made into films, and they are embarrassed to say hello to the other five Hollywood companies without making 5 million dollars in management expenses.

Martin knows very well that he needs to climb up now, and he needs to do word-of-mouth operation brand, and he can't go too far.

To put it bluntly, cheating and abduction also requires signboards and strength.

When the news of the recruitment of directors and action directors spread, the studio quickly received more than 20 resumes.

Most of these names have never been heard of by Martin, and there are no works that he has been able to get his hands on in the past.

He didn't dare to take too many risks and used directors who had no experience in success.

In this regard, Martin can only consult with Louise.

Louise wore black-rimmed glasses, carefully flipped through the director's resume brought by Martin, and said directly: "There may be directors who are talented, capable and dreamy, but they have not proven themselves, so their talent is worthless, if the investment is only one million, we can take risks, but at the level of tens of millions of dollars, these people are all PASS." ”

Martin had been tortured from dream to reality in his previous life, so he agreed with Louise's statement: "I'd rather spend more money on successful directors than risk hiring talented newcomers." ”

He asked, "How's John Wu?" He is very good at gunfight action movies. ”

"John Wu from Port City?" Louise thought about it carefully and shook her head slowly: "His personal style is too strong, especially in the gunfight genre, do you think he will make a cool gunfight action movie with new ideas, or make another John-Wu-style film?" ”

Martin has seen too many John Woo-esque gunfight action movies.

At this moment, it seems that flying white doves, solemn churches, dancing romantic movements and gunfights flash in front of you.

"The latter is more likely," Martin said. ”

Louise reminded: "He is a mature director who has been famous for many years, his style has long been set, it is difficult to change, and it is difficult to force him to change. ”

Martin nodded, "I see." ”

Nikki knocked on the door and said, "Thomas Lane is here." ”

"Thank you." Martin got up and left Louise's office and went downstairs to Davis' studio.

Thomas waited in the inner room of the office, saw Martin and said, "It's nothing important, I just sent Oscar Isaac to the studio for an audition, and I passed by here, just over to have a look." ”

Martin sat down on the couch and said, "I remember he was another client of yours?" ”

Thomas specifically said, "Latino, it's completely different from you." ”

Martin nodded, and at the right time lit a fire for Thomas: "The other day, Mike Vogel's agent Pinto approached me. ”

Thomas said, "The Viper has nothing to do with you......"

Halfway through his words, he suddenly reacted, his face was a little nervous, and he quickly adjusted his breathing, pretending to be relaxed and asked, "About your brokerage contract?" ”

Martin said directly: "That's right, Pinto wants me to choose him as my exclusive agent when my brokerage contract expires." Also, he promised to win me a big A-class production of Twentieth Century Fox, the leading actor in an epic film directed by A-list director Ridley Scott. ”

Thomas couldn't help but grab the armrest of the sofa hard, the actor of a class A big production, he didn't have such ability.

That's Ridley Scott, the last epic blockbuster "Gladiator", which not only sold at the box office, but also put Russell Clow on the throne of the Oscar.

Even if Thomas's brain was racing, he didn't know what to say for a while: "Martin, he's just drawing cakes for you......"

"I rejected him!" "I have never forgotten that when I first came to Los Angeles, you helped me stand on my feet and let me settle down in Los Angeles. ”

Inexplicably, Thomas's hanging heart let go.

Martin's words were resounding: "Thomas Lane, we are golden partners!" ”

Thomas suddenly felt as if he owed a little bit to Martin, the actor of a Class A big production!

Martin at least has a chance to compete.

As for himself, he can't even find the opportunity to compete.

Thomas secretly gritted his teeth, determined that he had never been there: "Martin, I promise you, within a year, even if I go to sell my ass and accompany old men and women, I will fight for you an important role in quasi-A production!" I swear! ”

He didn't dare to talk too much, because quasi-A was the limit he could hope to reach.

Martin said seemingly casually, "Just do the best you can." ”

The fire was lit, and Martin didn't just talk about it, but also took action: "If the "Wanted" project can work, there are roles that are suitable for your other clients, just ask." ”

Thomas smiled and said, "No problem, I won't be polite to you." ”

Martin asked, "Is there a suitable gunfight action director at the company?" ”

"I released the message, and I haven't replied yet." Thomas thought for a moment: "There are a lot of directors and clients on the company's side, the biggest names are Eastwood and Michael Bay, as well as Mel Gibson, don't think about it, Tony Scott and Gilmour del Toro, and Brad Bird and others who have a certain reputation, I have notified the agent." ”

Martin knew that this matter was urgent, and said, "You pay more attention to the company." He emphasized: "A director with a successful resume of the same genre. ”
