In the production team's meeting room, the petite Alexandrovich could hardly hide his exhaustion from the long journey, but he still perked up in front of the financiers and behind-the-scenes bigwigs.
"Boss, this trip back to Ukraine has been tremendously successful," he reported to Martin as if a faithful subordinate, "Marius and I redubbed 'Napoleon's Aphrodite' and then released it in Ukraine. The film finished its run last month, earning a box office of 8.94 million US Dollars in Ukraine and Russia. We then sold the broadcast rights to Channel 6 for an additional 1 million US Dollars."
Martin was generous with his praise, "You did a great job, truly opening up the Ukrainian and Russian markets. I have always believed in your abilities, and indeed, you haven't let me down."
