Hotel. Let. Renoir looked at the $200,000 check, dumbfounded.

"Don't be stunned, let's, come on, come on, sign, you're from today onwards from Legendary Films." Nicholas. Zink handed the contract to Jean. Renoir in front of him.

"Is this true?" Let. Renoir looked at the one-page contract and didn't believe his eyes at all.

"Complete decentralization, you have complete directing rights, editing rights, from the script to the actors, you can completely call the shots, I only need to pay." Victor laughed.

Nicholas. Zink shook his head beside him and looked at Renoir: "Let, it is estimated that in this world, except for our legendary film company, I am afraid that no one will sign such a contract with you." ”

Let. Renoir nodded and solemnly signed his name.

Soon, the troubled French film master moved from a cramped hotel to the headquarters of Legendary Films, becoming the second director to be officially signed by Legendary Films.

"Victor, now that you've got your wish, I think I should say something." Let. Renoir looked at Victor: "I thought you had some kind of conspiracy before, but after this time, I can see that you are indeed very different from other Hollywood filmmakers." However, I was worried. ”

"Worried about what?" Victor Road.

Let. Renoir laughed: "I make art films, but that doesn't mean I'm an idiot. For a director, he can not be afraid of the movies he doesn't like, he can go and do other things to make a living, but for a film company, if you only value art and ignore business. It's impossible to survive. Cinema is, after all, the art of spending money. And it's very expensive. ”

Let. Renoir's heartfelt words. Victor was very moved.

"Let's, don't worry about these things. Right now, Legendary Studios has a movie in the works, and another movie in the pipeline, and I have a reluctant request, I don't know if you ......"

"Say, just say, you're the boss." Let. Renoir was a little nervous. Because he didn't know what Victor wanted to do.

"It's a film of my own. Legendary Films is very small and has very few people, especially when two films are started at the same time......"

"I think I get it." Let. Renoir said, "You mean to make me your photographer, don't you?" ”

Nicholas next to him glared at Victor with black lines.

Victor's proposal did inadvertently touch on some taboos in this industry.

In films, especially in Europe, the director's position is extremely prominent, and he is completely the core of the core in the crew, and the cinematographer, compared to the director. The status is obviously much inferior.

So, for a film practitioner. Promoted from a photographer to a director, it is obviously a promotion, you let a photographer be a director is a happy thing, if you let a director be a photographer, it will obviously make many people unbearable. Victor's decision to make a cinematographer like Renoir a cinematographer has to be said to be a matter of inconsider.

"Yes." Victor stared at Jean sincerely. Renoir: "Jean, I've been thinking about this film for a long time, and when I saw you, especially when I saw your paintings, I decided that this film should be handled by you in the style of the image. For this film, I needed the kind of image that was changing, layered, and even jumpy in some cases. This style, I'm afraid there are few people in Hollywood who can compare to you. ”

"Hahaha." Let. Renoir laughed: "If another person tells me about this, I will definitely hit it with an uppercut." To be honest, in terms of cinematography, I've always felt that I was better than my director, and it was okay for me to be a cinematographer, but the point is, you have to show me the script, and if I'm not satisfied with the script, I won't agree. “

Victor handed over the script for The Shawshank Redemption.

An hour later, let's. Renoir put down the script.

Without saying a word, he stood up and walked out.

Nicholas and Victor looked at each other suspiciously, not knowing Jean. What does Renoir mean.

"Don't be stunned, ask someone to find me a camera, I think I have to quickly familiarize myself with the machine in the United States, I hope it is the same as the previous machine......" Jean. Renoir gestured to Victor: "I have a hunch that being part of this film may be more proud for me than the films I have directed before. ”

Nicholas and Victor couldn't help but laugh.

Let. After Renoir went out to work, Victor kicked Nicholas: "Nicholas, I remember, except for Jean. Besides Renoir, you seem to have someone else who recommended it to me, right? ”

"An actor, to be exact. Actress. "Nicholas looks cheap.

"Actress!?" Victor was overjoyed: "Really!?" ”

For Legendary Film Company, there is no shortage of directors now, Victor, Zinnerman, can be, there are also photographers, Nicholas, Baureth can be played, and the actor is also available, Gregory. Pike is now the mainstay, but the actress is really miserable, and the only one who can handle it is Marilyn. Monroe, but Monroe is too young, and the roles she can participate in are obviously extremely limited.

Being able to find an actress, and an actress with potential, is something that Victor dreams of.

"Who? From Europe? "Victor grabbed Nicholas.

"Don't think about it in Europe, all those who have potential, especially young girls, have already been carved up by major film companies, and the rest, believe me, there is no good good." Nicholas laughed: "This person, you have seen, is a Hollywood person." ”

"Hollywood? I've seen it too? ”

"Yes. Joan. Vendôme. ”

"Joan. Vendôme!? Victor was amazed.

This woman is a unique legend in Hollywood.

In Hollywood history, especially during the Golden Age, there have been too many actresses who radiant! This kind of light is enough to overshadow many stars of the same era. Vivien Leigh, Garbo, Taylor, Bikfu, etc., etc., every god-like existence, but the light of these superstars has never been able to hide a person named Joan. The woman of Vendôme.

Compared to these stars, Joan. Fontaine may not be as famous as them, and even in the interpretation of the role, she has almost played rigorous, shy, and suspicious female roles all her life, but her amazing acting skills completely make this kind of woman so natural and flesh and blood in every movie.

This is a very talented actress, very good in all aspects, she is beautiful and connotative, elegant temperament, noble and charming, for her, she may not have been able to go too far in film and television in history, because of opportunity rather than himself.

"This Joan. Isn't Vendôme already signed? Victor wondered. (To be continued......)
