After the fan meeting, Lionsgate held a mini reception at a nearby hotel to entertain media reporters and entertainment bloggers.

Like other industries, the production, promotion, distribution and even commentary surrounding the film and television industry are all businesses.

Martin, Benjamin and Catherine received a promotional fee of US$5,000 from Lionsgate Pictures, so naturally they had to cooperate with Lionsgate and attended.

In addition, a senior executive from Lionsgate Pictures named Michelle came over specially. Black introduced the three of them to Martin, while Michelle just shook hands with Martin and Benjamin and turned her attention to Catherine.

Catherine has not spoken to Martin since the theater, and she obviously has a prejudice.

"Did you offend Catherine?" Benjamin asked as he took a glass of wine. Martin knew it, but he would not say it openly. After all, Benjamin and Catherine had a negative relationship: "I don't know too well. Maybe it's her menstrual period?"

Benjamin didn't think too much: "Women's emotions are sometimes very troublesome." Martin had no time to care about these: "Ben, don't worry, I'm not so petty." Benjamin's eyes turned to the opposite side, where Michelle was chatting with Catherine.

.

I don’t know what he said, but Catherine smiled very happily. Michelle’s eyes were like hands, wandering around the beautiful actress, but what she said was serious words

"Your conditions are very good. You should come to Los Angeles earlier." Catherine smiled brightly: "I want to come too, but I never have the chance. I can't come and leave just like a passer-by." Michelle's eyes stopped on her beautiful face.

On her face, she said: "I have a project in hand, and one of the roles is very suitable for you." Catherine almost didn't think about it: "Really? Can you tell me more about it? I really want to stay." Michelle was very direct.

An invitation was issued: "I don't have the script with me. If you are interested, you can go to my place and read it carefully, and we will study it together." During the audition for the heroine of "Zombie Gigolo", Catherine took off her clothes and faced Lionsgate Pictures executives.

Who would refuse an invitation: "No problem, when?" Michelle smiled: "The reception is over, I will wait for you in the hotel lobby." The reception ended quickly, and Martin was ready to leave and return to the hotel where he was staying.

Benjamin said: "Ask Catherine to go with us." He found Catherine at the door of the banquet hall.

Martin also wants to go out and follow behind.

"Sorry, Ben, I can't go back now." Catherine had already made her choice: "Lionsgate has given me a chance, and I'm going to talk in detail." Benjamin understood what was going on as soon as he heard it: "Where can we talk?

?A hotel or his home?" Catherine simply made it clear: "Michelle has a script and a role, and I can't miss this opportunity." Benjamin reminded: "You are so stupid, Hollywood is not that simple." Catherine's mind was full of thoughts.

It was so red and purple that I couldn’t listen to it at all. I said sorry and walked towards the elevator without even thinking about it.

When Martin and Benjamin arrived at the hotel lobby, they happened to see Catherine taking Michelle's arm and leaving.

Benjamin couldn't help but said: "She is so stupid." Martin said: "You can't pull her back from the path she chose." Benjamin sighed.

The two got into the Lionsgate car and returned to the hotel. The hotel they stayed in had a bar, and Benjamin suggested: "Have a drink with me." Martin could tell that Benjamin was a little depressed.

There were not many people in the bar. When he came to the bar, Benjamin asked: "What do you want to drink? I'll treat you." Martin tried to ask: "Ben, you won't have real feelings, will you?" Benjamin quickly denied: "We just live together.

For several months." Any man who is kicked by his female partner and then watches his female partner fall into the arms of another man will not feel good even if they have no feelings for each other.

The bartender heard Benjamin's words and said: "I recommend you a new cocktail, Louise's Penicillin, which can heal the wounded soul." He pointed to a poster to introduce: "This is Louise, the master mixologist of Los Angeles -

Mel's famous work." Benjamin looked closer and was surprised: "Isn't she a producer?"

"I'm not sure." Martin said to the bartender: "Give me a glass of bourbon." Benjamin asked for penicillin and gestured to the poster with his eyes: "Are you in contact with her?" Martin did not deny or admit: "I

I heard Kelly said that after the crew of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" left Atlanta, she went to Morocco and seemed to be working on a big production in Mollywood with Warner Bros. and other companies. Kelly didn't know what it was exactly."

"Hollywood movies always like to use code names." The bartender brought penicillin. Benjamin took a sip and frowned slightly: "It is indeed very healing." Martin clinked glasses with him and said, "Ben, be careful, the beautiful women who come to your door in the future will be

So much that your brother can't even lift his head." I don't know if the penicillin had an effect or if Martin's words were effective. Benjamin felt better: "Brother, you really know how to talk. If I were a woman, I would kneel down and help you..." <

/p>

"Don't." Martin looked at his bald head and quickly interrupted the harsh words: "I want to live a few more years." Benjamin said: "If you don't have good connections, you might as well go back to Atlanta to develop. You are already here.

The road has been opened." Martin said: "If I can't break out, I will definitely return to Atlanta and join you."

"No need." Benjamin mentioned something: "Do you have Jenna's contact information? Not far north of Los Angeles is the San Fernando Valley. With your talent and ability, it may be difficult to become a multimillionaire, but becoming a millionaire is definitely not a dream.

." Martin told the truth: "This is one of the escape routes I prepared." The two drank a few drinks and went back to their rooms without staying too late.

Martin specially kept the autograph book, maybe he would use it in the future. When he checked out the next morning, Martin found that Catherine had not returned.

A staff member from Lionsgate Pictures came over and took away her luggage. Benjamin was going back to Atlanta. Before leaving the hotel, he asked Martin specifically: "Do you have any plans?" Martin said: "Find a house to settle down first."...

…On the weekend after Thanksgiving, a blog post by a female film and entertainment blogger was forwarded to a movie forum by B-movie lovers, attracting some attention.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"It's rare to find a B-level movie that made me buy tickets twice in a row like "Zombie Gigolo". The movie itself is of average quality, with many shortcomings such as shoddy production and clichéd plot, but the leading actor in the movie gave a god-level performance.

"Performance." Below are the movie stickers authorized by Lionsgate, as well as short clips of Martin's zombie machine gun dance and trapeze in the film.

The female blogger seemed to experience it personally: "The hot dance of the male protagonist Martin Davis made my heart tremble to his beat... When he thrust his lower body on the screen, countless female viewers like me also thrust their lower bodies together.

Chug tug, when the two kinds of tug tug tug merge into one, that kind of physical and psychological pleasure makes people take off on the spot." Those female viewers who can watch B-level movies became inexplicably interested after watching the related videos.

I want to see the movie with my own eyes.

Lionsgate Pictures is not idle either, and no one can underestimate the imagination of professional marketers. They teamed up with a well-known blogger and a movie forum moderator to post the video of Martin doing the zombie machine gun dance in the movie on

on a well-known film forum.

"Challenge your rhythm, challenge your manly ability!" The large and violent swing, the suffocating rhythm, seems to be a challenge to all men.

Originally, people automatically ignored it and felt bored. Not long after the video was posted, some people actually posted challenge videos, but the pace was obviously much different.

With someone taking the lead, more and more people are challenging it, and there are more and more related discussions.

"It's impossible to maintain that kind of rhythm and amplitude for such a long time. It's just a clip from the movie "Zombie Gigolo". The movie is not reality." Questioners quickly appeared.

When doubts increased on the forum, someone posted a video of Martin doing the zombie machine gun dance at a fan meeting.

"It's actually true!"

"This actor is so amazing! Is his waist mechanically modified?"

"I worship the man who grew four kidneys!" has gained a lot of popularity. Although it is not as popular as those popular movies, it has also attracted a certain amount of attention.

The film's attention means it has a box office. On the weekend after Thanksgiving, "Zombie Gigolo" was screened in 650 theaters, earning a box office of US$3.12 million in North America.

Including previous income, the North American box office has accumulated US$3.88 million, far exceeding the cost of Lionsgate Pictures buying out the copyright.

Lionsgate Pictures sees hope that it can recoup its investment by relying on box office, and will continue to expand the screening scale to 787 theaters next week.

At the end of the new weekend, the North American box office of "Zombie Gigolo" exceeded US$6 million.

The film's market potential has been basically exhausted because its reputation is so mediocre. On many rating websites, including Imdb, it only has a failing rating of about 5 points.

After all, B-level movies are just niche movies and cannot become mainstream in the market. The popularity caused by "Zombie Gigolo" and zombie machine gun dance is like waves washing up on the shore, hitting the rocks on the shore and dissipating as quickly as it comes.<

/p>

However, many newspapers and film magazines mentioned the names of "Zombie Gigolo" and Martin Davis.

The zombie machine gun dance was also spread in many gigolo bars. At the same time, Martin began to look for a house in Los Angeles.

Single-family houses in wealthy areas such as Beverly Hills and Santa Monica are not considered, as rents are relatively high.

Martin's goal is to be relatively close to Burbank, where entertainment companies gather. The rent is not too expensive, the surrounding transportation is convenient, and the apartment type is sufficient.

He looked at several houses in Glendale, Burbank and North Hollywood and decided to choose an apartment in North Hollywood.

It is close to Burbank and very close to Sherman Oaks where Louise Meyer and Robert Patrick live. It only takes ten minutes to drive.

Before moving, Martin first bought an ordinary Volkswagen sedan, and also purchased essential electronic supplies such as a laptop computer and a small video camera.
