How could one believe that Martin and Louise were reliable if they hadn't been through the baptism of the big six's accounting books?
It was only after Wu Maoting took a fall with Warner Bros. Pictures that he realized the value of his original partners.
Martin outlined all the risks upfront, emphasizing that the profitability of the project was uncertain. Wu Maoting found himself increasingly convinced of Martin's sincerity and credibility.
Martin then said, "There's a romantic comedy project. I haven't seen the script yet, but the producer is reliable. I'll contact you once I've read the script."
"No problem," Wu Maoting left his contact information in Los Angeles and took the opportunity to say goodbye.
Martin escorted him to the studio lobby.
Before Wu Maoting left, he shook hands with Martin and said, "I'll be waiting for your good news."
Martin responded with a word of acknowledgment.
