American fame and fortune

Fast-growing companies are always underfunded, and Gray Films is no exception.

Kelly Gray has seen a bright future in the studio rental business through this cooperation with Hollywood.

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

Kelly was very interested: "Tell me."

Martin had already thought about it: "The Beast House where I worked before, the boss is Vincent Lee, and his stepmother is Sophia, a muscular woman who is keen on fitness. They came from Savannah."

Kelly immediately grasped the point: "Their ability is limited through night shows, rather than other high-end methods."

Martin said: "To the vice president of the ATL Freedom Council and future MPs, they are just rats in the gutter, but to me, they are giants."

Kelly didn't joke with Martin, and asked directly, "What's the daily flow of the House of the Beast?"

"I don't know the exact number." Martin can only estimate based on tickets and sales: "Less than $40,000 a day."

Kelly picked up the phone: "Wait."

She made a call: "Brother, take up a little of your precious time, help me inquire about something, Vincent Lee and Sophia from Savannah, the former opened the Beast House Club on Saijo Avenue, I am going to pull They invest in movies, which is the Hollywood model I mentioned to you, is there any problem on my side?"

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

Not too long later, a call came, and the person who answered was simple and direct: "They are engaged in smuggling, and if there is a problem, it is just a small trouble."

"Thanks, I'll bring you a gift when I get home." Kelly Gray put away her phone and said in a business chat: "If you can get enough investment, you will be the leading actor. The more funds you get, the better your salary will be." Gao, I can give you a production manager position and let you get double pay."

Martin confirms: "Theatrical movie?"

Kelly smiled: "As long as the funding problem is solved, everything else is fine. In the second half of the year, there will be the Savannah Film Festival, and the film can be exhibited at the film festival. Louise and I have relationships in Hollywood, so it's okay to invite distributors to come and watch the film." question."

"Will it have a bad influence on you?" Martin looked very concerned about people.

Some warmth rose in Kelly's heart, and she grabbed Martin's hand and kissed it lightly: "You are not the only one who wants to cross the class, but also me. Money is one of the best tools."

Martin hugged her and sat on his lap: "We work hard together."

Kelly sighed softly: "It would be great if you came from a wealthy family."

This unrealistic thought was fleeting, and she asked, "Do you have any other good ideas?"

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

Kelly retracted into his arms: "As long as it's easy to use."

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

Kelly propped herself up, looked down, sat down again, and took a deep breath: "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 what to say.

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

But for Vincent, it's better to change the rhetoric.

Near Saijo Avenue, Martin called Vincent and said that he wanted to talk about something, and Vincent asked him to go to the club.

Martin came to the club, went directly to the second floor, and entered the office.

Vincent, wearing a rolled cowboy hat, was sitting behind his desk, smoking a cigar leisurely. When he raised his head, his sharp hooked nose was facing Martin: "Sit wherever you want."

Martin opened his chair and sat down: "Boss, long time no see. I heard that the club's business has been booming."

Vincent was very satisfied with what Martin had done before, and he rarely showed a smile: "Your contribution is great."

"Boss, I am here this time, bringing a new opportunity." Martin resolutely did not mention money laundering: "It can make the club famous in the whole state of Georgia. If you are lucky, the reputation can even spread all over the United States."

He heard from Bruce that Vincent had visited Las Vegas: "By then, boss, you can drive the club to Las Vegas."

Because of the previous success, Vincent attached great importance to Martin and asked, "What opportunity?"

Martin said: "Investing in a movie, a movie with the Gigolo Club as the background, director Benjamin of Gray Film and Television Company spent several months polishing the script, and after the filming and production, it was released in theaters across the United States."

Vincent didn't speak, he was not familiar with this industry.

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

Without the previous successes, Martin would not have come so quickly.

Vincent opened the script, browsed quickly, and after reading a few pages, he confirmed that the background of the story did indeed take place in the Gigolo Club, and the circular stage mentioned in it matched the House of the Beast very well.

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

Therefore, Vincent looks like a story that happened in the house of the beast.

Even if he is a layman, he can imagine that once the movie is released on a large scale, the reputation of the House of Beasts will inevitably skyrocket.

Martin added: "The film project has been given the green light by Kelly Gray. Gray's company will publish a notice in the newspaper tomorrow to recruit investment from the whole society. Boss, as soon as I get the news, I will come over and let you know."

Vincent wondered: "Are they recruiting investment from the society?"

Martin specifically explained: "This is normal in the film industry. For example, the famous "The Godfather" is said to have received financial support from certain forces in Italy. "Saving Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers" have investment from India..."

Vincent didn't know the latter, but he had heard of the former. Thinking of Italians and movies, he immediately understood the meaning of Martin's words.

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

"Boss, I said when I left that I will always be a member of the club!" Martin interrupted Vincent: "I have always been a poor boy living in Clayton, not the boss, you take me in and give me a job, I wouldn't have today."

"Jack Davies is so bad, you know the boss. When I was an adult, the three people who helped me the most, two of them came from the club, one was you, the boss, and the other was Boo. You saved my life several times. !"

It is not an exaggeration to count only Lao Bu.

Martin added: "The owner of Gray Film and Television Company is Kelly Gray. She is from Atlanta. Her home and company are in Atlanta. The Gray family has always had a good reputation. That's why I dare to recommend this project and let the boss invest in you."

Local people and local companies are indeed more reliable than outsiders. Vincent remembered where he had heard of the Gray family.

Martin said: "Boss, although I was born poor, I know how to be grateful."

"Just like that?" Vincent didn't believe that someone was so innocent.

Martin scratched his head in embarrassment: "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 boy!"

Martin quickly said: "I also recommended the boy group, Hart and the others will act as gigolos, which is very good publicity."

He said emphatically: "By then they will all be paid actors."

The latter sentence reminded Vincent: stuffing his own people into the crew, the pay was false...

He looked past Martin and looked at the lobby of the club. The club was used as a studio during the day and as a film industry at night. It was said that building a studio one by one was a large "normal" expense!

No wonder the group of Italians invested in the godfather, no wonder the Germans and Indians invested in Hollywood like crazy.

Even a layman like him can think of a lot of reasonable accounts.

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

Martin left the office, put his hand in his pocket as he went downstairs, and turned off the recorder.

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