American fame and fortune

The publicized investment in the film was massive, Kelly Gray never got it working, and Lois Meyer was called specifically.

Louise, who was going to Morocco, chose to transit in Atlanta and stay for one night at the same time.

At the airport hotel, seeing Martin and Kelly rushing over, Louise automatically ignored the latter and threw herself on Martin, yelling, "Penicillin!"

Kelly was heartbroken and scolded angrily: "Pervert, you only have men in your eyes? Can you guys restrain yourself a bit?"

Louise picked up the special magazine and handed it to Martin: "Look, Louise's penicillin has shocked the whole of America and the International Bartenders Association. Many people call me a master!"

This is the "Esquire" magazine under the Hearst Group. Martin found that the cover of the magazine was Louise. She was wearing exquisite business attire, with her right hand placed across her swollen chest, and a glass of adjusted penicillin in her hand. .

Cover line - Louise's penicillin, cure all unhappiness!

Open the magazine and look at the title page. There is an interview with Louise, which mainly talks about the process of inventing penicillin.

Martin has completely traded out the penicillin, of course Louise will not be polite, and it all belongs to herself.

Then there are several well-known wine tasters touting penicillin.

One of them is even said to be the greatest discovery in the cocktail world since the new century. Louise is the most outstanding female bartender in the past two decades.

Louise's whole body is floating, just like Michael Jordan is to baseball, Gareth Bell is to golf, Leonardo is to female models under 25, it is a love from the soul.

Kelly took a look at the magazine, and exposed it mercilessly: "Lost, how much did you spend?"

Louise fell from the cloud to the floor, staring at Kelly: "How can you slander me innocently?"

The two glared at each other, their hands bent into claws, ready to tear apart at any time.

Martin patted the sofa: "Sit down and talk about business first."

Louise took back the magazine, put it away solemnly, pulled down the wrinkled beige shirt, and said: "This project should not use the model of manipulating pure love drama, but use the Hollywood method."

Kelly understood immediately: "Find a few unimportant guys and register a company for the project alone?"

This is a common operation in Hollywood movies. Louise said simply: "As long as you pay taxes legally, there will generally be no problems, but you have to be prepared for problems. The project is covered with a shell, and the finances are accounted for separately. In the future, someone will really track it down." , you can throw the shell away at any time."

Martin could understand: "Then let someone else take the mine?"

Louise joked: "If you want to go to prison and pick up soap, you can."

Kelly automatically cooperates: "I'm ready."

Martin reminded: "Stop talking nonsense and talk about business."

Louise added: "The public production cost should not be completely decoupled from the quality of the film. A few days ago, I participated in a German director's audition meeting. It seemed to be called Death's Haunted House or something. It claimed a cost of 12 million US dollars. It only came out with an effect of 100,000 dollars, not as good as your late night show..."

She and Kelly are friends who have known each other for ten years, and their relationship is so close that they are the same person in the mirror. She specially reminded: "That German director can throw away his face, but you can't, Kelly, you still have a long way to go."

Kelly gestured and said, "I've been away from Hollywood for a long time, so I'd like to give you some advice."

Louise didn't hold back, and said directly: "Fictitious publicity costs, I know you don't have the ability to distribute, but in order to sell the film and attract distributors, you also need to do publicity."

She emphasized: "Especially for overseas distributors, it doesn't matter how much the film is sold overseas, as there must be overseas publicity expenses in the accounts."

Martin suggested: "Sign up for a few overseas film festivals? For example, in Southeast Asia, India or Russia, and send a few people there randomly, and the cost will be piled up?"

Louise smiled at him: "That's right, my knowledge has increased."

Kelly kept everything in mind: "Benjamin has planned a three-month filming and production cycle for the film, and is planning to exhibit it at the Savannah Film Festival. Please help me contact several distributors."

The three talked for a while, and the topic gradually came to an end.

"Finish the business, let's have a good chat." Martin came to the couch, sat between Kelly and Louise, and hugged left and right: "Drunk girl, didn't you release the expansion screw?"

Louise knows how to spread the word: "Take your time, I keep releasing new cocktails, I'm keeping the bartending buzz going, and it won't be long before I'm like Ida Coleman, as a woman. Become a Master of the International Bartenders Association!"

She held Martin's hand tightly: "You will help me and continue to inspire me, won't you?"

Martin said, "Of course, mine is all yours."

Kelly suddenly asked, "What are expansion screws?"

Louise laughed happily: "It's as good as penicillin."

Kelly felt that she had also fallen: "You are such a pair of dogs and men."

Martin actively invited: "Kelly, you are welcome to join the ranks of dogs and men."

Unfortunately, the sofas in the hotel are red, and a new round of auditions is imperative.

…………

The next morning, the crew had their first meeting after the project was approved.

Gray Company registered and established the "Zombie Gigolo" studio with Andrew and others.

Dave, the vice president of the company, was the producer. Except for Andrew who replaced Lynn as the casting director, the rest of the filming team were all the people Benjamin had always used.

In addition to the actor, Martin also serves as the production manager and has a certain right to speak.

The crew hired the hottest male striptease team in Atlanta with a high salary and will pay a high salary for it.

As highly professional technical talents, the total salary of 18 members of the team is as high as 900,000 US dollars.

Their inflated pay has pushed up the lead actor Martin's pay in disguise.

The total salary of Martin's leading actor and production manager is as high as $150,000.

The main shooting location of the crew is the Beast House Club.

At the same time, another simple studio will be built.

The crew disclosed that the production cost was US$6 million, and the publicity investment was US$3 million. It plans to distribute it globally.

As soon as the studio was listed, the overseas promotion and sales personnel of overseas copyrights set off from Atlanta Airport and began to travel around the world.

The crew also submitted materials to relevant state government offices to apply for relevant subsidies and concessions.

According to the policy passed by the state of Zuozhou last year, if the investment in "Zombie Gigolo" exceeds 500,000 US dollars, it can enjoy a total of 30% tax incentives.

As for how to do the accounting in the middle, it has nothing to do with Martin.

Jerome accompanied him to the office building temporarily rented by the studio, and Martin signed his name on the contract sent by Dave.

He got the first leading actor in his past and present life.

Coming out of the office, Jerome said, "$150,000, you set the record for the Marietta Theater."

Martin said vaguely, "The situation is special."

Jerome thought he was talking about his relationship with Kelly: "If you get a high salary, you have to work hard, you can't relax, and you must be prepared."

Martin agreed: "I'm going to get ready tomorrow."

After a long circle, he finally landed on the ring stage of Beast House.
