Although there is only a ruin left of the former Vitaigrave in front of him, he bought such a large piece of land, so many buildings, and some leftover equipment for 30,000 dollars, for Victor, it is a bit of a feeling of looking down and picking up a dog's head gold on the road.

So when John Ford asked Victor to sign the asset transfer agreement, Victor felt a little sorry for Baggins.

Who knew that Baggins snatched the contract.

"Mr. Ferrol, right now, I don't need this money for the time being." Baggins shrugged.

Leo couldn't stand it anymore: "Didn't we talk about it just now?" Do you want to break the contract? ”

Baggins laughed, and it was a particularly bright laugh, and Victor found that if this guy went to do comedy, he might really succeed.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. Mr. Felloz, John told me just now that you want to make a movie. Don't look at me as a butcher now, but I'm also a Hollywood actor, and I know that this bullshit investment is extremely hard. I think so, you use the money to make a movie first, and when the filming is over, you will pay me back, okay? Baggins narrowed his eyes grimly.

Victor: "Aren't you afraid that I won't pay you back after this movie goes out?" ”

Baggins smiled, revealing his big golden teeth: "I'm all this age, I just have to eat and drink, money is not so important to me, if I want to make money, I don't have to stay in this hellish place, do I?" Besides, I have confidence in the people who can make John look good. It's going to be bloodless, haha, and he's the unluckiest one. ”

"You son of a bitch." John Ford Hahadaxiao.

Baggins looked at the big courtyard and said, "After so many years of grievances, I can finally do something serious." Mr. Ferrol, when are you going to open? ”

Victor didn't even think about it: "The sooner the better." ”

Baggins nodded: "I'll take a group of buddies tomorrow, these cows, sheep, and whatever, all of them are fucking sold, clean them thoroughly, the walls and gates of the yard will be repainted, and the necessary office equipment will be added, at least like a company." Also, those devices, although some of them still work, are basically more than ten years old. You don't need to change a place like the editing room, but you have to redo it in the processing workshop or something, and I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money. ”

As soon as the money is mentioned, Victor has a headache right now.

The only $300,000 in hand is borrowed from John Ford, and if it continues to be spent like this, it is estimated that the money will be about the same before the movie is made. Equipment is expensive.

John Ford waved his hand: "Now is not the time to burn money. So, Baggins, whatever you just said you can clean and arrange, don't do the equipment yet, I can use the connections, from the 20th Century Fox to get some to use. ”

"Is that okay? Will William Fox be willing to do that shit? Victor said.

John Ford opened his eyes and said, "Of course you can't let him know!" "The Grapes of Wrath" has been approved by the board of directors, and the crew is about to be set up to start filming, I am the director, and it is not up to me to decide how much equipment I want? When the time comes, people will give you some without knowing it, and as for editing or something, you can do it in this place, and I will develop the film. ”

As soon as John Ford said this, Victor was happy and saved money!

Baggins thought for a moment and said, "In this way, the money really doesn't have to be spent much, but Mr. Ferro, at least you have to take care of this door." This is face, no matter how small the company is, the face has to be passable. The most important thing is the factory logo, you look at Paramount, MGM and the dogs, and the mountains and lions, we can't lose in momentum. ”

If Baggins hadn't said it, Victor wouldn't have remembered it.

Yes, for a film company, I'm afraid there is nothing more important than designing a factory logo, this is an out-and-out brand!

"Don't stand still, let's go, find a tavern to sit and talk." John Ford's proposal was well received, and the group went out of the yard.

Down from the hillside, there is a wide connecting road, with tall beech and holly planted on both sides, and the environment is indeed good, but the buildings on both sides are low and shabby, and they are old, and they are inhabited by the poor people at the bottom.

However, these people, despite their shabby clothes, behaved politely and had a smile on their faces, and Victor and others came over, and many people took the initiative to say hello.

"This place, it's good." Victor couldn't help but nod.

"This street is called St. Minic's Street, and most of the people who live on this street are German immigrants, and in addition, there are mostly Italian and French people, but we like to call this street the Boulevard of the Sunset," said Baggins. Every day when the sun goes down the hillside, the glow of the setting sun fills the street, which is very beautiful. ”

Baggins' introduction made Victor listen to it with great pleasure.

This place, although it is a bit poor now, has beautiful scenery, condescending terrain, and the surrounding people are very kind, much better than the noisy city center.

A group of people casually found a tavern, sat down, and began to talk about what the legendary film company's factory logo was chosen.

On this topic, everyone has their own opinions, and there is no concession, zuihou is so noisy that he blushes and has a thick neck.

John Ford had a straightforward personality and liked the western cowboy for the most, so he resolutely chose a running horse as the factory logo: "A horse with a bubbly hoof, a flying mane, a high forehead, what could be more exciting!?" This represents the future of the film company, and the future is limitless! ”

John Ford was excited.

Leo stood up on the spot: "Come on! Why don't you say draw a sheep up there!? Paramount is a mountain, MGM is a lion, the world is an earth, you see, how atmospheric people are! You got a horse, don't say anything else, you won't be eaten by others when you meet MGM?! What about Mercedes? ”

John Ford was furious: "I can't talk to a dirt bun like you!" You say, what are you doing? ”

Leo slapped the table: "Of course it's a tiger!" The extra-large kind, it has to be grinning! How magnificent!? ”

John Ford almost fainted: "MGM is a lion, you make a tiger, are you a little creative?!" ”

Pike couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I thought of one, would you like a rose?" Tasteful and cultured. ”

"No momentum!" John Ford and Leo were both negative.

"Baggins, what's your opinion?" Victor Road.

Baggins thought for a moment: "Crow, I like crows!" ”

Anthony interjected next to him: "Then why isn't it an eagle!?" Eagle multi-bull fork! ”

A group of people quarreled and quarreled, and the quarrel made Victor's head as big as a fight.

"Victor, you're the boss, you say, what's going on?" Zuihou, John Ford, and others threw the puzzle at Victor.

Victor rubbed his head, looked at these angry and round-eyed guys, smiled bitterly, and said timidly: "Why don't we have a silhouette of a camera?" ”

Then, everyone gave Victor a middle finger up.
