American Entertainment 1982

On the way to the airport, Sophia sat in the back seat of the Cadillac and said to Tommy, who was chatting with Martin about black pop culture: "Raul and Michelle asked me in private, why did you let them go without talking to them alone? They started the preliminary work, and they were a little apprehensive."

"It's nothing, the main thing is that Susan called me, hoping to meet and chat with me, and BT TV's business activities and copyright production and sales are issues that need to be considered in the later stage. The most important thing in the early stage is Rick's programming. thinking.” Tommy said to Sophia: “And Rick has to think about it, he has never done this business, and he even has to digest the impact of those shows on him, I can understand, after all, he helped I went to work as a small film producer, but among the four, I like Rick the most, he is very pure."

Sophia shrugged: "I thought you would like Sean Ray better, after all, you've been chatting with him for so long."

"Sean is well-behaved, neither good nor bad, a little cunning, likes to test things out, and you can only judge him by looking at his subsequent work." Tommy looked at Sophia:

"Guess what attracted me to Rick the most when Mark introduced him to me?"

"Professionals, majoring in film and television production at the University of Southern California, and young enough?" Sophia said, sorting out the schedule in her hand.

"No, because if that guy is not capable enough to secure the position of vice president of programming at BT TV, we can still get him into BT Film and Television Production Company as a producer. That guy has a good way of controlling costs. Both Mark and you Focusing on his glamorous side, I noticed that the worst small film of his filming career, only a pair of male and female protagonists, lasted forty minutes, sold 730 sets, 730 sets, and it did it Profit, I mean, even if he doesn't rent a venue, he finds two homeless people with a camera on his shoulders, and makes them stand on the street with two hamburgers, and he still has to pay fines, and other labor costs are included, how can he Possibly profitable? Impossible, at that time I suspected that he had falsified his resume." Tommy seemed to be talking about a very rare thing, and said excitedly to Sophia:

"Profit, not even capital preservation, I asked Mark to ask again, how can that guy sell only 730 sets and still make money, you can't even imagine it, that's definitely an idea that makes me awestruck , That's why after I chatted with him, I decided that the programs he designed and produced would definitely catch people's eyes."

"Boss, you must be a master of storytelling. You are a master at whetting your appetite. I'm already hungry and thirsty in the co-pilot. Just tell me how he sold it, okay..." Martin, a black bodyguard, sat in the co-pilot The boss couldn't help asking, but before he could finish speaking, he heard a crackling sound of electric shock, and Martin let out a scream of "Ah~" and then fell silent, leaning on the co-pilot, closing his eyes and not moving.

"Mr. Page, what did you do?" Sovia saw Page driving like magic, holding an electric shock baton in one hand, and asked in shock: "Why did you attack Martin? Stop immediately, Help check Martin and send him to the nearest hospital!"

"Don't worry, Miss O'Connor, this is a female anti-wolf electric shock device, the power is very low, I just teach him how to be a quiet bodyguard, don't speak casually when the boss is talking, cultivate his professional habits, and tell him by the way, It's not easy to earn two weekly salaries." Page said while driving the car calmly.

Tommy didn't care about anything else. When he heard the two weekly salaries, he was a little puzzled: "What two weekly salaries? He is not considered a regular employee of the TV station, at most he is an outsourced employee of Mark's company. Why do you have two weekly salaries? What did he eat that gave him some unrealistic fantasies?"

"He said that he will be your bodyguard, and he also needs to help the TV station staff to design hairstyles. These are two jobs, so they get two salaries." Page glanced at the co-pilot, pretending to be dead, and his eyelids trembled slightly said Martin.

Hearing that Martin wanted a double salary, Tommy broke his mouth: "Mr. Page, do you still have enough power for your electric shock prod? Next time he is curious about salary, don't hesitate, turn on the power to the maximum, if he can bear it, I will allow you Buy a more powerful electric shock rod, and the company will reimburse the cost.”

"Tommy~ This is not a joke, Mr. Page is deliberately hurting others!" Sophia got up from the back seat and leaned forward, trying to check Martin's status.

"Don't worry, Sophia, if Martin gets killed by this stun prod that can't shock a stray cat, we'll save two paychecks, and if he's alive, I might consider paying him an extra barber's salary, this……"

"I'm still alive, Mr. Hawke, thank you for saying that you are willing to pay me two salaries." Martin sat up straight from the co-pilot, turned his head to look at Tommy and Sophia, and said with a smug smile showing his white teeth: " Mr. Page said Mr. Hawk, you are not willing to pay me a salary, and you can tell that you are not a stingy person if you pay that black man a weekly salary of two thousand."

"Pass me that electric shock rod, Mr. Page." While smiling gently at Martin, Tommy stretched out his hand in Page's direction: "I want to make Martin feel good~ Although that thing can't kill stray cats with electricity, but I think it will kill Martin."

Martin raised his hands exaggeratedly: "Boss, so, how does that red curly hair make money? Can I finish a complete story before I am electrocuted to death by you?"

"I mailed it to the countless cults in the United States, telling them that this is a church movie, telling the story of the encounter between Adam and Eve, the male and female protagonists are devout believers, just to restore the scene of the "Bible" in my heart, not a small adult movie, but It is a holy art, regardless of whether those churches really believe his nonsense, anyway, more than 700 sets were sold, and the price is still high, most of them are those female believers who bought it back from the church to fool themselves." Tommy said the answer .

Martin obviously didn't have the brain to react. He listened to Tommy's answer, his expression was strangely dull for a few seconds, and he asked uncertainly: "You mean, that curly-haired boy sold that kind of movie to the church?" ?And more expensive than selling to normal people? White people are assholes, this is blasphemy! He should be glad that he is not black, we black people care about faith, honestly, if he did this in the black community of miami, god be kind, Had thunder and fire not fallen on him, this wicked heretic, we would have burned him."

"By the way, Martin, after Rick heard that you were a barber, he considered making you a TV star in a show." Tommy said with a smile seeing Martin's angry reaction.

"Me?" Martin looked at Tommy. "Me? Boss, you mean my third paycheck is looming? After bodyguards and hairdressers, I'll be a TV star? On TV?" "

Tommy nodded: "If Rick wasn't burned to death by God, yes, it's possible."

"The next time he wants to sell a small movie to the church, I'm willing to help him deliver the goods. Never mind, God didn't expect to bless me to become a star." Martin immediately changed his words: "So what should I do?"

Tommy lowered his voice, approached Martin, and said word by word: "My suggestion to you is to give up the salaries of bodyguards and hairdressers, and wait to become a TV star with amazing wealth."

"Don't trust him, Martin, he just wants to take away your salary." Sophia said with a smile beside her as someone who had experienced it.

Martin stared innocently at Sophia, then at Tommy: "I choose to believe you, Boss, ever since I knew you could pay that nigger two thousand a week without him doing anything. I know, you are a good person to be trusted."

Sophia sighed: "You have a good eye, Martin, no wonder you can find such a wonderful job."
