Chapter 98: Recruitment!

The reason why the United States has been able to finally become a world hegemon from a rookie in history is largely due to its geographical advantages.

It is far away from Europe and Asia, whether it is World War I or World War II, the mainland is far away from the Warring States, and it can also profit from it, and culturally, it has also become a paradise for many exiles.

At the outbreak of World War II, Germany frantically expanded its territory in Europe, and at the same time adopted a high-pressure policy on culture, which caused many filmmakers to flee to the United States to live.

In the history of Hollywood cinema, the Golden Age has left a strong mark on European filmmakers.

Talent! And it's a lot of talent, which is exactly what Victor needs.

"Anyone can do photography." Victor smoked a cigarette: "It's a big deal I'll ask Uncle John to find me a photographer, you have to go back, go back and recruit someone for me." ”

"Is this okay?" Nicholas Road.

Victor laughed: "Nicholas, don't you understand that you have been in Hollywood for so many years?" For film companies, talent is the most important thing. We're so fucking short of people right now. ”

"I know that. But Victor, Hollywood is eyeing the people of the big movie companies, Paramount, MGM sent all the scouts, in addition, I heard that the front of their general manager's office is crowded with Europeans who come to try their luck, there are hairy young men, and there are also powerful people who have become famous, we are a small company, who can see it? Nicholas said.

"When we get bigger, it's too late." Victor shook his head: "We can't pick up the cow, at least let's try our luck, in case we pick up a good product." Again. Take 10,000 steps back. I just can't find anyone who is powerful. At least you can find some cost-effective. For example, if you look at us now, you are the only photographer, the Virgin Mary, Nicholas, you are the general manager of Legendary Films, and your job in the future is to operate, not make films. Isn't it? I still believe in people's eyesight, you go back quickly, and if you don't do anything, you will run away all over the ground and pull people for me. ”

"Okay." Nicholas clearly understood Victor's thoughts.

"When you go back, go find Anthony. That guy didn't know what to do during this time, and he didn't have any faith at all. Let him talk to Chris. Bernano said that they use their mafia resources to do it together, they have a lot of clues, and if you are short of money. I went to Anthony and asked for it. As long as you think it's good, you pull me in. We are not afraid of crowds! Victor laughed.

"Don't worry. I've got it, and I'll go back tomorrow. ”

"Don't be tomorrow, let's go now!" Victor said loudly.

Nicholas was sent away by him.

"God forbid, this time you can get me some people, if you're lucky, you can catch a big fish, I don't ask for much, I can do one!" Victor prayed to heaven.

After Nicholas left, Victor hurried to John. Ford called and asked him to get a photographer as soon as possible.

John. Ford was so angry that he almost didn't go crazy when he received the call, and three days later, he led a middle-aged man to the crew with a scruffy beard.

"You can't do things reliably! If I do this again, sooner or later Fox will kill me. "John. Ford now has a headache when he sees Victor: "I'm so busy all day long, I'm so annoyed, I have to wipe your ass!" ”

"Isn't this a special case, Nicholas was sent back by me to recruit troops." Victor smirked.

"You've heard that, too?" John. Ford was stunned.

"Of course, how could I miss such a great opportunity."

John. Ford: "Hollywood is buzzing during this time, not to mention anything else, 20th Century Fox signed 14 new directors and dozens of actors at once this week. In today's Hollywood, the cheapest thing is people. Those people, who are really pitiful, abandoned their families and children to come to Hollywood, they are not familiar with life, and they just do it as long as they are given a job. ”

"So it's a good opportunity." Victor smiled: "By the way, you can also help me find it when you go back, and pull me secretly when you see a good one." ”

"Pull it down! "Green Mountains and Green Valley" is at a critical time, how can I have time. "John. Ford pointed to the middle-aged man beside him: "You want a photographer with a fork, I don't have it, the few photographers I have on hand are all Fox people, and I don't dare to move." He's the backup photographer for my current crew, and he's not bad, although he's not very famous, but I've always brought it out, and the level is definitely not to say. ”

"Oh." Victor looked at the middle-aged man.

I'm probably in my early thirties. Looks loyal and honest.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ferro. I'm Bauret. Kafman. He introduced.

"Baures. Kafman? Victor listened and nodded.

I have a little impression of this name. John. Ford is not reliable in life, but it is still somewhat reliable in doing things.

To be precise, this time he brought himself a great photographer in the future.

Bauretch. Kafman, a first-class cinematographer in Hollywood in the fifties and sixties. He has many works, and the most representative one in the early days is "Dock Storm". Many people may not be familiar with this movie, but there is one person who has become a legend in film history with this movie - this person is Ma Long. Brando!

Bauretch. Kafman was an honest man, but he was very talented in photography, very thoughtful, and had solid fundamentals.

"Uncle John, Mr. Kafman is still free, right?" Victor Road.

John. Ford was almost angry: "Victor, you have a limit to digging corners, why are you waving your shovel everywhere!" Dig what you see! ”

"My dear Uncle John, I have a pity! I have a lot of old and small, and I can't use it much. "Victor cried poor.

John. Ford looked at Baures. Kafman: "What do you think, Boreus?" ”

"This ......" Baures. Kafman froze.

"Baures, we Legendary Films are not as good as 20th Century Fox, but, I have to make it clear to you, you don't necessarily become the No. 1 cinematographer in 20 years over there, but in our Legends, hehe, you can sit in that position right now! Our movie will not be worse than Fox's! Victor began to demagogue.

"This ......" Baures. "I've watched Mr. Ferroau's work, and I like 'This Killer Isn't Too Cold,' but I have a question. ”

"You say."

"If I sign to Legendary Pictures, can you guarantee me one movie a year? As the first photographer. Bauress said.

"Hahahaha." Victor put his arm around Boreis: "One!?" That's the minimum! Lovely Baures, the legend will grow big in the future, but there is more than one movie! ”

"Then I'll sign it! Sign now! Bauress said.

"Yay! Yay! Victor turned his face to John. Ford said, "Uncle John, I think you'll have to find a backup photographer." (To be continued......)
