Victor felt like he had to give it his all.

The premiere of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" seems to like this movie very much in terms of effect, but no matter how much you like the movie, if it can't be moved to more screens, it is empty talk.

Victor's primary problem now is not that his film becomes popular, this idea has become more and more dangerous, and now the biggest problem is to increase the number of screenings and expand the screening area of the film, if this problem is not solved, the legendary film company that has just been born will completely cease to exist, and he may no longer have a foothold in Hollywood.

You have to find a theater!

Victor knew this, and the group of people around him knew even more.

In this regard, the one who knows it best is Nicholas Zink.

The old man had smoked two packs of cigarettes in one night, his eyes were red, his hair was unkempt, and he looked like the lion on the MGM factory logo.

"I agree with Victor that our movies are indeed very good, but in Hollywood, there are too many good movies that die tragically every year if they don't go to the theater, and the audience can't see it, and any ideals are empty talk. Only by expanding the number of cinema releases can we make money and talk about future development. Nicholas Sinker whispered.

Leo was going to die of depression over there: "I said old man, we know this question if you don't say it, but now, who the hell is willing to show our movie?" Meyer's doggy days are behind him, and not many people dare to offend him. ”

John Ford shook his head: "It's easy, but it's not hopeless, we can find those who are against Meyer." ”

Leo smiled wryly, "Come on, go find Paramount?" Adolf Chuck doesn't spit out bones when he eats meat every day, not to mention that they are not interested in a small company like ours at all. Twentieth Century Fox is not to mention, other companies are enough. People can't put their own movies together, so why show our movies. ”

Although John Ford is a great director, he really can't say anything about Leo in this regard.

Nicholas Zink and Victor looked at each other, and the moment they made eye contact, they both smiled slightly.

"It's just that man, Nicholas." Victor Road.

"I think it's just him." Nicholas Road.

Leo: "What the hell are you two doing, who?" ”

……

Universal Pictures' Hollywood headquarters.

Compared with large companies such as Paramount and MGM, Universal Pictures' Hollywood headquarters is not magnificent, but a large snow-white building looks extraordinary.

When Victor and Nicholas Zink walked into Laimer's office, it was brightly lit.

"This old guy, three shifts in the middle of the night, is hard enough." Nicholas Zink lit a cigar and smoked it so much that Victor frowned.

The secretary pushed open the door, and the two walked in, and Victor couldn't help but be stunned.

Laimer's office is not large, and the furnishings are very simple, the most eye-catching is the huge bookshelf that occupies one wall, and on the bookshelf, on the sofa, in addition to Laimer, there is a person who talks with his legs crossed.

In a black suit, his hair was combed back and shiny, and his mouth was devoid of the iconic lad.

"Carl, I have to tell you that this movie, "The Great Dictator" feels like a classic that Hollywood has never had! This film I spent years, many years, when the Oscars had to belong to us. Ten percent of the profit, this condition is already very generous, if you don't agree, I'll find another company, you don't want to send you money, son of a bitch, are you crazy? Chaplin roared loudly.

Compared with Chaplin's arrogance, Laimer looked like a good old man, with a smile on his face, and personally poured Chaplin a cup of coffee.

Lemmer Dao: Charlie, don't be in such a hurry, do you have to be considerate of my difficulties? What is the most expensive at the moment, not a department? With so many movies produced every year, who doesn't want to push good movies up to make money? Hollywood is no longer the Hollywood of the past, in the past, a casual movie, as long as the quality was passable, you could make money, but now the audience's taste is cultivated, the requirements are high, time is those times, the screen is those screens, once the movie is smashed, the loss will be big.

Chaplin raised his eyebrows: My movie is not an ordinary movie, can I be compared with an ordinary director?

Victor was stunned by this, and he and Nicholas stood at the door, and Laimer and Chaplin barely noticed, and the two of them were already talking completely anxiously.

Laimmer smiled: Charlie, I know your level, so, you let me think about this thing, okay?

Chaplin stood up with a sudden: Think of a fart! Carl, we're old friends, and we're not raw melons and eggs who just entered Hollywood, if you don't want to cooperate, just say it!

Laimer was just about to speak, but when he found Victor and Nicholas, he hurriedly beckoned: When did you come? Come on, come on, hurry up and sit.

Victor and Nicholas sat down, and Nicholas looked at Chaplin and smiled.

Somehow, Chaplin seemed a little afraid of Nicholas and just nodded in acknowledgment.

"Victor, did you come to me for something?" Laimer Road.

Nicholas has always had a hot temper: "Old thing, being circled with me, I came because of weishenme, you don't know yet?" ”

Laimer smirked.

Chaplin was confused: "Karl, when did Nicholas come out of the mountain?" ”

Laimer: "Your news is really backward enough, he is not only out of the mountain, but now he is also the manager of the legendary film company, he just made a movie, "This Killer is Not Too Cold", the director is Victor, Charlie, I suggest you go and see it, quite a movie." ”

"Hmph." Chaplin sneered and said, "Young people nowadays have no down-to-earth and humble style at all. Just looking at the scenery of Hollywood, being a mess of life and doing things, thinking about making a name for himself all day long, we made movies at that time, which one was not hard work? ”

Nicholas was so annoyed by Chaplin that he didn't bother to talk to him, and said, "Carl, how much can your theater show our films?" ”

"Huh?" Laimer's eyes widened.

Chaplin was also stunned.

Nicholas: "Don't be fucking confused, hurry up and make conditions." ”

Chaplin glared at Nicholas and then at Laimer: "Karl, there has to be a first-come, first-come-first-served approach." ”

Nicholas waved his hand: "First come, then a ghost!" In these days, whoever has good things at hand has the right to speak. ”

"I've been making movies for so many years, tell me if things are good?!" Chaplin was about to get angry and was held down by Laimer.

Laimer said: "Don't make a noise, you have a headache." Charlie, you go back first, I think about it, give you an answer, can it be done? ”

"Come less, as soon as I leave, you still reply to a fart." Chaplin naturally understood that what Lemmer said was nothing more than kind words.

Nicholas smirked.

Chaplin picked up his clothes and said to Lemer: "Karl, our decades of friendship are over today. I only hope that when my movie hits out, you won't regret it! ”

With that, he gave Nicholas and Victor a blank look, and walked away in a crooked manner.

Laimer shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to Nicholas: "See? is such a temper, such a virtue, more than his mother's president. ”

Nicholas seemed accustomed to it: "If not, it wouldn't be Charlie Chaplin." What is he looking for you for? ”

"Just like you." Laimer sat down and said: "You also know the current situation of Lianmei, although it is ranked among the eight major film companies, it is now crumbling, Chaplin has almost put all his net worth on his "The Great Dictator" this time, but Lianmei only has more than 200 movie theaters in his hands, which is not a climate at all. For this reason, he looked for Meyer, found Adolf Chuck, and they were all blown out, and the other film companies each had their own films to be screened, which one cared about him, so he came to us. ”

Nicholas was about to speak, but was stopped by Laimer.

Laimer looked at Victor and Nicholas with a smile, and said seriously: "I know why you are here, but I said ugly things ahead, it is not so easy to ask my theater to show your movie, don't give me a good reason, this matter, interview, I won't have trouble with money." ”
