Chapter 123: Tricks to Stimulate Work Efficiency
Brentwood is a famous affluent area in Los Angeles.
Martin specially introduced Thomas, and Craven and Ajia also introduced their respective agents.
Then, the three agents were rushed to the banquet hall.
Craven, Ajia and Martin have decided to cooperate to allow agents to get acquainted with each other in advance to reduce collisions in the later stage.
“The outline of the story is almost ready.” Ajia gave Martin a handwritten manuscript: “The character is based on you, and the two of us think it’s time to listen to your opinions.”
Martin quickly browsed the outline. A family went on a trip and encountered a family of abnormal deformities caused by the American nuclear explosion, causing a massacre.
Because of his intervention, the outline has changed, but he is basically certain that it is somewhat similar to "The Mountain Has Eyes" he has seen before.
As Hollywood’s recognized godfather of modern horror films, Wes Craven’s horror thriller projects are absolutely guaranteed to succeed.
Craven looked at the time and said: "This is not a suitable place for discussion. Let's move to a place where people's minds can be active."
Martin asked at the right time: "Wes, have you prepared a surprise?"
Craven said: "It definitely makes a man's mind active."
Leaving the agent alone, the three of them drove a car. Martin got into the driver's seat and, under the guidance of Wes Craven, came to a strip club.
Martin is all too familiar with this kind of place, that is, the dancing boy is replaced by a dancing girl.
The three of them arrived relatively early, and there were not too many guests. On several stages, the warm-up dancers slowly twisted their **** bodies.
Craven was very generous: "You guys can do whatever you want, I'll treat you tonight." He said to the waiter who came over: "I've reserved the largest VIP room upstairs."
The waiter ran backstage, and not long after, a dozen dancers in high heels walked onto the stage.
Craven chose the youngest one, at most 18 years old, just old enough to start this line of work.
Martin chose a Latina girl with wheat-colored skin. She wore leather shorts and a black bra, quite like Jessica Alba in "Sin City".
Ajia picked a blonde girl.
The three of them went upstairs and entered the largest and most luxurious VIP room. They asked the waiter to slightly adjust the sofa so that three single sofas formed a circle.
Craven said: "Soothing music."
The dancers came in at this time, came to their respective clients, and danced lap dances.
Craven watched the dancer who was old enough to be his granddaughter take off her shirt, and his mind gradually became active, and he said: "I chose the background of the story of nuclear radiation, mainly because this year, Iraq's weapons of mass destruction have become a hot topic in the United States, and the election is coming soon. When it comes, this matter will definitely be brought up and discussed repeatedly, and it will naturally become hot. "
Ajia stared at the swaying car headlights and swallowed: "My original idea was about voyeurism. Girls go out and meet a peeping tom. In the end, the peeping tom can't help but hurt the girls. The girls want to Way to get revenge."
Martin asked: “Like ‘I Spit on Your Grave’?”
"Similar." Ajia leaned forward slightly, as if she wanted to try the feeling of a car light hitting her face: "The scale won't be that big, but Weiss feels that in addition to peeping and rape, adding killing can further stimulate the actor's revenge. flame."
The Latin **** Martin's lap twisted her waist like a snake and slowly unbuttoned her top.
At this scene, Martin couldn't help but take a deep breath, his brain was stimulated one after another, and his thinking became more active: "I have an idea, add a newborn baby to the protagonist, and it will be snatched away by the perverts, and then the protagonist will transform into a pervert , a killing spree."
Craven took out a 20 dollar bill, stuffed it into his shorts, shook his hand at the girl, and said, "This is a good idea. A father is willing to do everything for his children."
Ajia noticed that Craven's face was run over by the headlights. Following the same example, he took out the banknotes in his wallet and stuffed them out: "In the ending, the protagonist's team is completely destroyed..."
The next words could not be said because the headlights crushed Ajia's face.
Martin was about to play the role and said, "Isn't this bad?"
Craven temporarily got rid of the crushing: "Ajia, your style is European, you will lose the audience. In the front, the pervert ambushed the unprepared protagonist's family. The killing process in this process must be cruel, the old man was killed, the wife was killed, The pets are killed, everything is arranged, and the killing process is as cruel as possible, paving the way for the exciting counterattack later. "
Martin interjected: "How about adding a **** beautiful girl who is perverted and raped? When I was doing late-night movies, the director... Benjamin, who likes to **** zombies, said that violent scenes of beauty and ugliness can inspire people to the greatest extent. mood."
“Baldheads and zombies?” Craven couldn’t help complaining: “That night, I only saw the collision between ugliness and ugliness…”
Speaking of that night, Ajia still had regrets: "There are still snake girls and succubi? I haven't even got them yet, and I'm out of bullets."
The young lady above him came closer and almost stuffed her mouth: "With me, you won't regret it."
As the only serious person among the three, Martin saw that the topic was about to go off the rails, so he quickly stopped him: "If you add perverts and take turns to beautiful girls, will it become a 17-year-old ban?"
Craven is experienced: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t take pictures of the lower body.”
“Perverts have deformed bodies, how about giving them a deformed brother?” Ajia is worthy of being a director from the European continent, and he is full of artistic content: “Is it better to have a hook or a thorn?”
Craven thought of his children, of Jason and Freddy's weapons, and said, "Martin's good at that."
“Don’t you think the topic is off topic?” Martin reminded: “Isn’t active thinking used in the wrong place?”
Craven returned to the topic: "Who should I choose as the protagonist? A former soldier? A wrestler? A hunter who often hunts?" Martin then added: "Texas redneck? I'm from Georgia. I can use a gun pretty well and I know some fighting skills. Good at action scenes.”
Ajia said: "A middle school physical education teacher, good at many sports, usually a good old man."
"I think it's good." Craven asked symbolically: "Martin, what do you think?"
Martin shrugged: “I dropped out of high school.”
The Latin girl came over and said, "We are the same. I also dropped out of middle school."
Martin asked: “Can I know your name?”
The Latin girl's car lights were swaying in front of her eyes: "Jesse."
Martin saw Craven and Ajia being crushed to the point of being unable to speak. With perverts, they can only be perverts. Otherwise, how can they integrate into the group? He was helpless, took out a dollar and handed it to Jesse: "Okay?"
Jesse leaned closer: "You can't go out and say it, otherwise we will be in trouble. It's illegal."
The rolling wheels rolled back and forth on Martin's face.
After one round of dancing, Jesse and the three of them went out to rest and prepare for the next one.
Martin and the three continued the discussion.
Mainly still the male protagonist, which is more in line with Martin's image.
Ajia said: "Normally he is a good person, he looks sunny and cheerful, but once he is stimulated, he turns into a crazy pervert. Isn't this Martin himself?"
Martin was dissatisfied: "Hey, man, good guy Martin's reputation spread throughout Atlanta! You know the Methodist Association? They are always grateful to me."
Craven turned to a more critical aspect: "The next step for us to promote this project is to find a reliable production company. You may have some money. As friends and people who have experienced it, I remind you that only fools I will use my own money to make movies.”
Martin said: "Wes, as long as you are here, are you afraid that you can't find the producer?"
Craven shook his head: "It is not easy for any director or producer to attract investment."
Martin thought of his support team and said: "I should be able to get a few million US dollars in investment, the specific amount is hard to say."
Craven asked: "Louise?"
"No." Martin said vaguely: "Investors in Atlanta, you know some things."
Craven laughed: "This kind of thing is not a big deal. We will set up a studio and handle the financial affairs separately."
Ajia stretched out: "I don't understand those in Hollywood, so I'll be in charge of filming."
Craven said: "We will not be involved in the specifics. We will find a few people to set up a studio. When this kind of opportunity comes up, many people will rush forward."
Martin thought of Andrew from Gray Company. Since Tingbao established the "Zombie Gigolo" studio, he has become more and more important to Kelly.
He regained his train of thought and said, "It's settled, I'll leave from Atlanta."
Craven said: "Waiting for the first version of the script and plan to come out."
Although he was sure that if Wes Craven stopped forward, people would pay obediently, but Martin consciously followed Craven's rhythm and said: "I listen to you."
Ajia couldn’t wait and suggested: “Shall we start the second round?”
The people in Craven are old-minded: "The second round is not exciting enough, and the work has no ideas."
Martin also found that thinking in this way is more active and helps improve work efficiency.
If you want to be recognized by your work partners, you naturally have to do the same thing.
After the new round of dancing, the three workaholics exchanged partners, and six more dancers were called in.
When the show ended, the romantic French director Ajia took away four of them.
The lonely Martin met up with the equally lonely Thomas and left in the car together.
The person driving the car was of course the agent and driver Mr. Thomas. He talked about his conversation with the other two agents: "It is said that your last private party rekindled Craven's interest in horror movies, and he turned down Dream Invited by the director of an action thriller in the factory, he is preparing to make this horror film in which both the protagonist and the villain will be perverted.”
“Working with Craven, you have a better chance of success,” Martin said.
Thomas fully agrees with this: "Although not every one of Craven's works will be as big a hit as Scream, his horror films have always had a commercial lower limit. Compared to this project, I would let you watch it during the day. Those roles are too risky.”
He said: "The most important point is, I don't know what method you used, but the old man Craven likes you very much and is willing to let you be the leading actor. As for other things, who can guarantee whether the audition will be successful."
Martin knocked his head and said: "I still owe Craven a party. I have to think carefully about how to play new tricks."
