John Ford was annoyed, the director who was already known for his bullish temper in Hollywood, stared at Victor viciously, as if he was going to fight.

This guy's temper is really not ordinary. Victor smiled and said, "Uncle John, don't you want to know why?" ”

John Ford sat down in a huff: "You say! I can't make a sense, I'll beat you all over the ground looking for teeth! ”

Victor pointed to the script: "Who wrote this script?" ”

John Ford shouted at him, and in a short time, two middle-aged men walked in.

"This is Nonnelly Johnson, this is John Steinbeck, they're the writers of this script, and of course, the whole story is pretty much what I want." John Ford was also polite, introduced the two screenwriters and Victor to each other, and then said: "Victor, these two are old Hollywood screenwriters, and we have been working together." ”

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time." Victor was polite, and the two were very enthusiastic.

But after hearing John Ford say that the script was killed by William Fox, especially when Victor couldn't like it, the two looked at Victor with very provocative eyes.

It's normal to think about it, people are already professional and famous screenwriters in Hollywood, how can they put Victor in their eyes.

"Please also ask Mr. Ferro to elaborate." John Steinbeck said coldly.

Nonnelly Johnson didn't speak, but he looked at Victor with an awl of eyes.

"Don't make trouble, you kid." Leo was so nervous that he secretly stabbed Victor.

Victor didn't realize it, picked up the script, and said, "Let's tell the story of this script first." ”

For the story of this masterpiece in history, Victor, who has watched it many times, couldn't be clearer.

"The Grapes of Wrath" tells a tragic story of realism: Tom, a farmer who has just been released from prison, returns to his hometown to find his home empty, and learns from his friend Jimmy that local farmers have been forced to leave his hometown with the development of industry. Tommy and Jimmy went on the road together, found their family, and decided to go to California to look for work, the family put all the salutes in the car, the journey was hard, the family continued to die due to hunger and cold on the way, Zuihou's good friend Jimmy was also killed, Tom killed each other in order to take revenge, and then fled in a hurry, leading the family on a hopeless life path.

John Ford's work, with a deep sense of compassion for the people, will focus on the peasants under the development of industry, aimed at human nature, using his warm and unrestrained style, the whole film is rendered touching, as real as the earth, fragrant, touching tears, this film not only adopts a variety of innovations in form, but also surpasses the drunken dreams and deaths of ordinary Hollywood movies in connotation, leaving a deep thought for the society and the United States at that time, because of this, this film won two Oscars.

A masterpiece is a masterpiece, but a masterpiece generally starts with a bad script. This time, it's no exception.

Victor looked at the three people in front of him and said, "Although there are also genres such as poetry and movies, generally speaking, it is still necessary to tell a story. Your story is indeed too scattered. It's about how difficult it was for two peasants to find a job, how they fought with people, how they were chased by the police, and how Zuihou fled. ”

"Pretty much." The two screenwriters didn't speak, and John Ford nodded: "That's what I want, and what I want is to criticize this fucked society." ”

"That's a very good idea. From this point of view, the idea of this movie is far more than ordinary movies. But for now, this story is too simple, and the conflict and setting have not yet been profound. With the observation of this film by later generations, Victor is very sure in his heart.

"And you, what do you suggest?" John Steinbeck was unconvinced.

Victor deliberately pretended to think about it for a while, and said, "Story, I have to go back and think about it, and I'll write you a little premature advice tomorrow." ”

"Then we'll wait to read it." The two screenwriters snorted coldly almost at the same time.

Victor knew that the two screenwriters were not convinced at all, and he didn't care, and said to John Ford: "In addition to the story, this script has fatal wounds in the setting of the scene. This is originally a realistic movie, and it becomes a real sense of the scene, and you have to make some big scenes in it, such as luxury restaurants, big inns in the wilderness, serial car collisions, etc., and there are many inconsequential but extremely money-wasting settings, first, these things completely destroy the setting of the movie, and second, this greatly increases the cost of the movie, Mr. Fox wants to make money by opening a film company, and you do this, of course he is angry. ”

John Ford thought about it quietly, seemed to have some sense of it, and said, "Then you mean, just pull the camera out and shoot?" “

"Basically, it's just a matter of pointing the camera at real life. That's realism. Victor shrugged.

"Realism, I like that word!" John Ford nodded vigorously.

"In addition, one more point, Uncle John, when this film was filmed, we had to be bold and innovative in the shooting techniques, we had to abandon the luxurious and complicated tone that prevails in Hollywood today, and the lens was dominated by medium shots and close-ups, a variety of lens combinations, the rhythm was wide open and closed, the rendering should be rendered, the accent should be accented, sometimes it was simply a long shot, and the music should also be paid attention to......" Victor gushed as soon as he spoke, not noticing that John Ford had looked at him with his mouth open in an O-shape.

"Victor, you kid, have you ever made a movie?" John Ford shouted.

"Nope."

"You, then, went to film school?"

Victor shook his head: "No." ”

"Damn, then you're a genius!" John Ford stood up and hahadaxiao: "You are young, you have never made a movie, you can say such a profound thought, you can really eat this line of food!" Not bad! ”

Victor couldn't help but laugh: Am I profound?

John Ford was in a good mood and said, "In this way, don't make any comments when you go back, just write me a script and write it well!" I think you can figure it out, and when the time comes, I'll sign you! ”

"Then I'll write nonsense, and ask the two of you for advice." Victor held out his hand to the two screenwriters.

Nonnelly Johnson and John Steinbeck's faces turned pale, especially Steinbeck, and he said with a smile: "Well, Mr. Ferro is really young and promising, it seems that we are both old." Hehe, hehehe. ”

……

Coming out of John Ford's office, Leo was excited: "Victor, I can't see that your kid has such great ability, how did you learn?" Didn't you find out that you could still write a script before? If you succeed this time, you'll be in the middle of nowhere! John Ford's screenwriter, obedient ......"

Looking at this second goods, where can Victor be happy.

"Leo, we've offended people too." Victor looked at the two screenwriters and smiled bitterly.

Being able to write a script for John Ford shows that these two screenwriters must be the pillars of screenwriting in 20th Century Fox, and they offended these two as soon as they came up, and they can still have a good life in the future?

"What the fuck! Who let them fail to endur!? Let's go, drink, and find another girl to have fun. "Leo has no heart and no lungs.

"How can you have money!" Victor pointed to his pocket.

Leo laughed evilly, and a gold pocket watch appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"Where did it come from?" Victor was dumbfounded.

Leo: "Look at those two dogs, I did it when I came out." ”

Victor's eyes rolled and he almost fainted.

This beam is considered to be big.

Hollywood's City Hall Square, bustling with people. Although Hollywood has a city government, it is not a nominal administrative agency, but only an organization elected by the locals to be responsible for maintaining order on a daily basis, which is considered a public opinion organ. Around the city hall, it is a lively place, with many restaurants and bright lights.

"I know there's a good tavern with good beer and good girls. Let's go! Leo was elated, looking back at Victor standing under a huge billboard in a daze, impatient, and walked over in three steps and two steps: "What's wrong?" ”

Victor pointed to the billboard: "This guy is interesting." ”
