Chapter 118: 40 Theaters, Get It!
The first day of filming went exceptionally well. The crew laughed and the atmosphere was harmonious, and they didn't finish filming until more than 11 o'clock in the evening.
It was hot, and when he got up from his chair, Victor's clothes were already soaking wet.
After dinner, sitting in the office on the second floor of a small building specially allocated to the prison, Victor read the script shirtless, and talked to Gregory, Duncan, Jean. Renoir and the others discuss the next day's play.
"Boss, your clothes are dirty, take them out and wash them." After talking, Duncan stood up, looked at Victor's shirt on the couch, and picked it up.
"Duncan, you don't care about these things, and leave it to the drama staff." Victor laughed.
"Those guys are not reliable, and it is estimated that washing is equivalent to washing in vain." Duncan laughed.
Gregory stood up and took the clothes from Duncan's hand: "Give it to me, I just need to do the laundry, there is a special laundry room in the prison, give it to them, and you can get it the next day." ”
Duncan didn't say anything and nodded.
……
The next day, the sun was shining and the wind was blowing in the square, and the camera drove up to continue shooting. In order to ensure the filming effect, this time the prison only allowed a small number of people to come out to cooperate, which made those prisoners who could not get out complain.
"Victor, Nicholas is here." During a break in the shoot, Pike looked outside and smiled.
Turning his face away, he saw Nicholas. Zink and Leo walked over with smiles on their faces, and Anthony the Fat Bear followed.
The three of them came to Victor and sat down with a bang.
"Yo, you three are here at a good time. I just had someone make a cup of iced tea. Victor called for iced tea. Three people drank wildly.
"Say it. What's up. Victor fanned the wind.
"See for yourself." Nicholas. Zink handed Victor a document in his hand.
Victor opened, and his eyes suddenly opened: "No! ”
"That's it!" Leole.
"What's wrong?" Pike was inexplicably on the side.
Victor handed the document to Pike, who read it and exclaimed, "So much!?" ”
"This is just the first wave." Nicholas smiled happily: "It's really unexpected. It's only been less than a week, and the box office of "No Country for Old Men" has exceeded 4 million, hehe, in my experience, the final box office of this movie. It's probably around 8 million. ”
"It's gone!" Pike was ecstatic: "Boss, we've got money now!" ”
Victor was settling accounts at this time: "8 million, Warner took 4 million, and we still have 4 million left, Nicholas, Sam. Warner says how much does their top-notch movie theater cost? ”
"About 100,000."
"4 million, 100,000 cinemas, that's about 40 or so. Not bad. Victor laughed.
"Pull it down, I heard Sam. Warner hasn't eaten in two days, and this guy wants to know that our box office is so good. It is estimated that he would not have signed that contract in the first place. Victor said.
"I can't blame it. After the box office statistics were completed, he hurried to shoot the theater that received him. Have you chosen a location? Victor said.
Nicholas nodded: "I have chosen, ten in Los Angeles, ten in other important cities in California, and the remaining 20 are selected from New York, Washington and other places." I will arrange personnel, these are the best at me, no problem. ”
"Then I'll be relieved." Victor took a long breath, and then looked at Anthony, who had been silent.
"Anthony, you ......" Victor really didn't know how this guy came here.
"You know Orsson. Wells? Anthony's words made Victor almost stunned.
"Huh? Acquaintance, what's wrong? ”
Anthony scratched his head: "Didn't I get you a diamond last time, it was the diamond you gave to that actress." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't the gentleman from the Morgan consortium buy the diamond, I brought it." Anthony accentuated the word "take": "It turns out to be a bit troublesome now." ”
"What's the trouble?" Victor chrysanthemum tightened.
Anthony laughed: "I was kind enough to say that I wanted to buy him, but the guy was arrogant, so I had people drag him out of the car and beat him up, took the diamond, and threw the guy into the river......"
Everyone present was full of black lines.
"You mean, you threw the future heir of the Morgan consortium into the river?" Victor's heart was instantly chilled.
"Ahh Anthony looked unconcerned: "That guy broke three ribs, the bridge of his nose was also broken, his dad used the relationship in a fit of anger, and now the whole of California is searching us." ”
"And then?" Victor was almost speechless.
"Originally, I didn't care, whoever looked for me and killed him. But isn't it selling arms now, so you can't cause trouble. I heard about the guy and Orsun. Wells has a good relationship, why don't you just give me a line, and I'll go and settle it peacefully, how about it? Anthony laughed.
"It's better to settle it peacefully." Victor put Orson. Wells' phone number was given to Anthony.
Anthony took it, looked at it, nodded, then stood up, wanting to leave, when suddenly his gaze froze on Victor's chest.
"Where's your badge, Victor?"
"Badges? It's always on his chest, not ......here," Victor bowed his head, momentarily froze. The Ferro family badge that had been hanging on his chest was gone.
"You lost something so important!?" Anthony's angry roar suddenly resounded in the square!
"I've been very careful, how could I lose it......" Victor suddenly patted his head and looked at Pike: "Did you ...... when you were doing laundry yesterday?"
Pike was already going crazy at this time: "When I took it yesterday, the brooch seemed to be on it, I went to the laundry room and handed it over and left, and I took it in the morning, I didn't pay attention to it......"
"You bitch! Gregory, do you know how heavy that brooch is!? Anthony is going crazy: "Don't be idle, what a bullshit movie!" Find it for me! Leo, call the warden to me, even if you dig this bullshit prison three feet into the ground, you have to find out! Madonna! ”
In the anger of Anthony the fat bear, the whole crew was in a circle, scattered like birds in groups, and rushed to all sides, Anthony simply went to the warden with anger, and Victor followed behind, even more crying and laughing.
After the prison warden knew the whole story, he was helpless: "Mr. Ferro, you are too careless!" Not to mention a gold badge, it's just an iron piece, and it's a treasure here. You don't know what to do, these guys are all outlaws, usually around them, in the cell, sharp things are not given, iron things are even more prohibited, such a thing, how can they not take it? Once you take it, how can you possibly hand it over? ”
"Hurry up and find it!" Anthony glared at the warden.
The prison warden smiled bitterly: "I want to too, but there are so many people in the prison, you don't see anyone take it at all, this is like sinking into the sea, and it is more difficult to find out than to climb to the sky." ”
"If you can't find it, I'll kill you!" Anthony is in the mix, and God is not afraid.
"I'll do my best!" The warden shouted at the guards outside: "Declare a state of emergency, give me a cell to check!" ”
……
The entire Los Angeles No. 1 Prison, because of a pin, chickens fly and dogs jump.
Cell 1, Block A.
The pin was placed on the table.
Around, a pair of eyes stared at each other.
"Lone wolf, you bitch, you lied to me!" Bunyan picked up the ring, flipped it in his hand, and smiled: "It's not wrong, others, there won't be this ring!" (To be continued......)
