Victor was a little surprised.

In fact, John Ford was even more surprised.

"Nicholas, what are you?" Especially looking at Nicholas Zink in a suit and leather shoes, John Ford felt like a ghost.

Nicholas smiled, his smile was very gentlemanly like an old man: "Can we come into the house and talk, and have a glass of whiskey by the way." ”

"Absolutely." John Ford led Nicholas Zink into the house, and everyone was seated.

"Nicholas, what are you doing?" John Ford poured Nicholas Zink a glass of wine.

Nicholas took a sip of the cup and said, "Of course I'm here to discuss with you what you said last time. ”

"What's the matter?" John Ford patted his head and remembered, "Didn't you refuse last time, and almost let the dog bite me." ”

Nicholas Zink waved his hand, "Stop talking about these things. I want to ask you, does this thing you are talking about still count? ”

"Of course it counts." Victor nodded.

John Ford and Nicholas Zink were familiar with each other, and knowing his temper, he said in ecstasy: "Nicholas, you won't, you won't agree, will you?" ”

Nicholas didn't answer Ford right away, but took the script for "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" out of his pocket and gently placed it on the table.

"Yes." Nicholas stood up and bowed slightly to Victor: "Mr. Ferro, I, Nicholas Zink, am willing to accept your invitation to be the general manager of Legendary Pictures. ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was shocked.

John Ford opened his mouth and swallowed, "No, Nicholas, you're not kidding me, are you?" ”

"Am I like a casual joker?" Nicholas Zink laughed.

John Ford: "But you didn't have a crush on Victor and his company. ”

Nicholas nodded: "Yes, I didn't look down on this kid at all at that time, but ......"

Nicholas pointed to the script on the table: "This script makes me feel that if I don't accept this request this time, I may regret it for the rest of my life." ”

"Oh." John Ford read the script and immediately understood, but the guy was still a little skeptical: "Just because of this script?" ”

"Not really." Nicholas Zink said: "It's a good script, I think you know it, and it's the most innovative script I've seen in Hollywood in years." To have a story, to render a rendering, and more importantly, this script has a hot heart, warm and meaningful. John, in today's fucking Hollywood, movies like this, the pursuit of movies like this, are almost extinct. ”

"The person who can write such a script will definitely not be a flash in the pan, and it will definitely not be a rotten person who only has money in his eyes." Nicholas sighed, "I'm old. It's true. I've wanted to bring down Meyer all my life, but all these years I suddenly feel like I've been wasting all those years, and what I like the most is the movie itself, rather than wasting that energy on those revenge. ”

"I want to make some real films at the Zuihou period of my life, or to contribute to real films, just as I did for Mr. Marskolov back then. This is my wish for Hollywood and movies. ”

Nicholas Zink's words made Victor's heart tremble.

He knows this old man's affairs very well, although Hollywood is like a battlefield, and failure is failure, but Nicholas Zink is definitely a person worthy of deep sympathy for the MGM incident back then. In his most prosperous years, Nicholas was fighting to regain his dignity, and he stood up again and again and was knocked down again and again, and he was already full of anger when he was replaced by someone else.

But this old guy can be so calm and sober now, which is really admirable.

"Mr. Zink, on behalf of Legendary Films, I welcome you to join us!" Victor's hand reached for Nicholas Zink.

"If you don't dislike it, I'm an old bone who is willing to release a little of Zuihou's ability in Legendary Films." Nicholas Road.

"Come on, you old fart! There's time for you to do big things! Maybe our sword slaughtered MGM's lion that day! John Ford laughed.

"Longsword?" Nicholas Zink was a little confused.

"Uncle John is talking about our factory logo." Victor laughed.

"The factory logo? There is a factory mark so soon? Nicholas was surprised.

Victor said the matter briefly, and Nicholas was very pleased: "The action is fast enough, Witteglaf's territory is the most haode territory in Hollywood, but unfortunately, there are few people in Hollywood who have a vision." Victor, you did the right thing, first set up the company, and then you became famous. Also, I like this factory logo, but can you add a V to this long sword, on the one hand, it represents the initials of your name, and on the other hand, it is also a sign of victory! ”

"Okay!" Everyone was convinced.

Ginger, still old spicy.

"Nicholas, you're an expert at this, what do you think we should do now?" John Ford was a director, and he was good at making movies, but he didn't pay attention to how to run a film company, especially such a small one.

Legendary Films, although the name is very loud, is not much different from a newborn baby now, and if such a baby is placed on the battlefield of Hollywood, he may die if he is not careful.

For Victor, for John Ford, if he failed, it was almost impossible to get back up again.

Everyone looked at Nicholas Zink, at the old man with gray hair.

This old man, but the head of MGM back then, he saw too much of the winds and waves of Hollywood.

Nicholas thought for a moment and said, "The most important thing right now is to shoot a movie. The film company is still an empty shell, there is no need to spend money and energy on decoration, just get by, we don't have much money in our hands, we have to spend the money on the blade. For a film company, if there is no haode work coming out, it is a fart. ”

Nicholas's idea coincides with Victor's.

Before Victor could say, Nicholas Zink began to gush: "This Killer Is Not Too Cold, 300,000 dollars can be filmed, but it is not enough to be perfect." ……”

"We've already thought of that, and in fact, that's what Gianni meant, and he likes the script so much that he's going to ask Chris Bernano for money." John Ford Road.

Nicholas smiled: "It's rare to have a script that Gianni likes on that dog's day." Don't worry, Chris has a good relationship with him, and he might be able to make some money. ”

"Nicholas, what if you can't get the money?" Victor Road.

"If you can't get the money, you have to shoot it." Nicholas said seriously: "If it is a big film company, if it encounters such a script, it will definitely spend enough money to shoot it well, but we can't." This movie decided the fate of the legendary film company, although it will not be too perfect, but it can at least have a market, haode reputation is certain, as long as the first step is taken well, then the rest will be easy to do. It has to be shot first, whether it's perfect or not. ”

"Gianni, let him do it, it's best to get the money, if you can't get it, we will get 300,000 too, and we will start preparing tomorrow." Nicholas rubbed his head and said, "Let's divide the work." ”

Victor and the others sat up straight.

Nicholas said: "Victor, you are the owner of the film company and the screenwriter of this movie, who will direct this movie, have you thought about it?" ”

"I'll do it myself." Victor didn't even think about it.

A room full of people was stunned.

Leo: "Victor, when did you learn directing!?" No kidding! ”

John Ford and others didn't believe it either.

Victor naturally couldn't say much, just looked at Nicholas: "Nicholas, I think I can do it, let me try." ”

"Let's not joke like this, the director is not drinking, eating, and picking up girls, this is a very professional job." Leo cried bitterly.

"I think I can give Victor a try. Who the fuck is not a natural director. Besides, I can see from the script that Victor knows the details of the whole movie, every shot, and that's enough. is such a detailed script, I took it outside to find a third-rate director, and I could shoot it well. John Ford said.

Nicholas nodded: "Done." The director is so decided, what about the actors? “

"That's the biggest problem!" John Ford had a bit of a headache.

Yesterday, an old book friend told me, Xiao Zhang, now entertainment literature is either Korean entertainment or parallel space, but you are the only one who engages in this rebirth, which is the rhythm of gnawing hard bones. Hehe. Xiao Zhang: I know. In fact, entertainment essays are easy to write, but they are not easy to write. It's up to you how you get it. For me, it's better not to write something meaningful than not to write, not only to entertain, but at least to let everyone know some Hollywood history and stories, even a little bit, so that everyone can gain a little, Xiao Zhang is satisfied.

This is indeed a hard bone, Hollywood's history, film history, historical figures, details, all aspects have to be exquisite, and it has to be flexibly organized, which is a difficult job. But just like 7 years ago, Xiao Zhang will do his best to write every word honestly.

We hope you will support us!

Thank you!
