The investment scale of this film was disclosed to the public. Kelly Gray had never operated it and made a special call to Louise Meyer.

Louise, who was preparing to go to Morocco, chose to transfer in Atlanta and stay one night at the same time.

At the airport hotel, when she saw Martin and Kelly arriving, Louise automatically ignored the latter, threw herself on Martin, and shouted: "Penicillin!"

Kelly was heartbroken and cursed angrily: "Female pervert, you only have eyes for men? You two bitches, can you restrain yourself?"

Louise picked up the specially brought magazine and handed it to Martin: "Look, Louise's penicillin shocked the entire United States and the International Bartenders Association. Many people call me the master!"

This is the "Esquire" magazine under the Hearst Group. Martin discovered that the cover of the magazine was Louise. She was wearing exquisite professional clothes, her right hand was placed across her bulging chest, and she was holding a cup of mixed penicillin.

.

Cover slogan - Louise's Penicillin cures all unhappiness!

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

Martin has completely traded away the penicillin, and Louise will certainly not be polite and will keep it all to herself.

Then there are several well-known tasters who praise penicillin.

One of them even said that this is the greatest discovery in the cocktail world in the new century. Louise is the best female bartender in the past twenty years.

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

/p>

Kelly took a look at the magazine and revealed it without mercy: "What a waste, how much did it cost?"

Louise fell from the cloud to the floor and stared at Kelly: "How can you slander my innocence out of thin air?"

The two glared at each other angrily, 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 her wrinkled beige shirt, and said: "Don't use the pure love drama model for this project, use the Hollywood method."

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

This is a common operation in Hollywood movies. Louise simply said: "As long as you pay taxes legally, there will generally be no problems, but you have to be prepared for problems. Put a shell on the project and calculate the finances separately. Someone will really pursue it in the future.

, you can throw away the shell at any time."

Martin understood clearly: "And then let others take the blame?"

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

Kelly automatically cooperated: "I'm ready."

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

Louise added: "The disclosed production cost should not be completely decoupled from the quality of the film. I attended a film test session for a German director a few days ago. It seemed to be called Death House or something like that. It claimed that the cost of a film of 12 million U.S. dollars was shot.

The effect is only $100,000, which is not as good as your late-night show..."

She and Kelly have been friends for ten years, and their relationship is so close that they are in the same movie. She specifically reminded: "That German director can throw away his shame, but Kelly can't, you still have a long way to go."<

/p>

Kelly gestured and said: "I have been away from Hollywood for a long time. I want to give you a suggestion."

Louise didn't sell it and said directly: "Fake publicity costs. I know you don't have the distribution ability, but in order to sell the film and attract distributors, you also have to do publicity."

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

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

Louise smiled at him: "Yes, my knowledge has increased."

Kelly kept it all in mind: "Benjamin has planned a three-month shooting and production cycle for the film and is preparing to show it at the Savannah Film Festival. Please help me contact several distributors."

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

"Let's talk about the business, let's talk about something happy." Martin came to the couch, sat between Kelly and Louise, hugged each other: "Female drunkard, you didn't release the expansion screw?"

Louise knows how to publicize well: "Take your time, I keep releasing new cocktails and keep the popularity in the bartending world. It won't be long before I will be like Ada Coleman, as a woman."

Become a Master of the International Bartenders Guild!"

She held Martin's hand tightly: "You will help me and continue to inspire me, right?"

Martin said: "Of course, mine are all yours."

Kelly suddenly asked: "What is an expansion screw?"

Louise smiled happily: "As good as penicillin."

Kelly felt that she had also fallen: "You guys are such a bad couple."

Martin actively invited: "Kelly, welcome to join the ranks of dog men and women."

Unfortunately, the sofa in the hotel is red, and a new round of auditions is inevitable.

…………

The next morning, the crew held their first meeting after the project was established.

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

Dave, the company's vice president, serves as the producer. Except for Andrew, who replaces Lynn as the casting director, the rest of the filming team are all the people Benjamin has always used.

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

The crew hired Atlanta's most popular male striptease team with high salaries and will pay high salaries for it.

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

Their inflated salary actually pushed up the salary of Martin, the leading actor.

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

The main filming location for the crew is the Beastie House Club.

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

The crew disclosed the production cost to the public at US$6 million, and invested US$3 million in publicity, with plans for global distribution.

As soon as the studio was listed, the overseas promotion and overseas copyright sales staff set off from Atlanta Airport and began traveling around the world.

The crew also submitted materials to relevant state government offices and applied for relevant subsidies and discounts.

According to the policy passed by Georgia last year, investment of more than US$500,000 in "Zombie Gigolo" can enjoy a total tax discount of 30%.

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

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

He won the first leading role in his past life.

Coming out of the office, Jerome said: "With $150,000, you have set a record for the Marietta Theater Company."

Martin said vaguely: "The situation is special."

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

Martin acknowledged this: "I will prepare tomorrow."
