"Orson Welles." The young man looked at Victor and smiled, with a clear smug and confident smile in his smile.

Orson Welles? Victor's head exploded.

No wonder I felt so familiar when I saw it before.

Throughout the history of world cinema, if there is one film that has to be singled out to show that the art of cinema has matured enough since then, it is undoubtedly "Citizen Kane". This film, in the history of world cinema, is like Mount Everest, not that it has the highest achievement among all films, but that from this film, film has truly become art!

And "Citizen Kane" came from the hands of this young man. If Victor remembers correctly, in 1941, that is, next year, the film will come out.

This genius born in 1915, an actor, director, screenwriter, producer and other roles, has participated in more than 100 movies in his life, and his life is like a legend.

Orson Welles, born in a nail-endowed, rich, and complete gentleman, later his parents divorced, he worked everywhere, and soon broke into Broadway, becoming an actor, this job, purely for fun, but, with talent, he quickly became famous on Broadway.

What really made him famous was the broadcast of "The Martians Occupy the Earth", which was still famous in the history of broadcasting.

On the evening of October 30, 1938, Wells made a prank, asking the broadcaster to follow the way of a news reporter, using the method of a drama documentary, to broadcast to the audience in a simulated scene tone that the Martians were attacking the earth, mankind was slaughtered, the National Guard was annihilated, the president declared a state of emergency, countless viewers panicked after listening to the report, and the whole United States fell into a crying world, millions of people believed in the program, causing a serious economic panic, Wells has since become famous in the United States.

Wells in front of him can be described as proud, and it is extremely rare to be able to achieve such an achievement at the age of 25.

In the history of film, he is a master, an out-and-out master, who made such a great movie in his twenties. However, in Hollywood, there are two people whose fate is very tragic, one is David Griffith and the other is Wells. These two people were brilliant in the first half of their lives, but because the box office of the movie was dismal, no one cared about them and died lonely in the end.

Fate seems to be fair, he gives you too much in a short period of time, and he will always find a way to withdraw those lucky.

Victor looked at Wells' face with mixed feelings.

Wells was very enthusiastic, pulling Victor to talk endlessly, starting with "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", and chatting all the way.

Wells greatly admired Victor's film, and in the course of his conversation, Victor found that this guy was worthy of becoming a master, and his understanding of the film, especially many of his ideas, was very advanced even in later generations.

"What are you doing now? Still on Broadway? Victor asked.

"I don't have much interest in that place anymore. I became interested in movies, which are more interesting than theater. Wells took a cigar in his mouth and said, "I recently hooked up with Raiden Hua, and I was going to shoot a movie, which has basically been decided." ”

Needless to say, the movie Wells is talking about must be "Citizen Kane".

Of the eight major Hollywood film companies, there are three strong, MGM, Paramount, and Thunderbolt. The strength of these three companies far exceeds that of other film companies.

Unlike MGM and Paramount, this company, founded in 1928, was completely manipulated by an American consortium from the beginning, and most of the films it made were money-making tools with little artistic value, and there were few masterpieces. In 1951, Lei Denghua withdrew from the film industry and turned to the development of wireless and cable television.

This company has always been the most unstable company among Hollywood film companies, for no other reason than because it is completely the product of capital operation, and high-level sales have led to too much change.

"Mr. Wells, can you tell me about your movie?" Victor laughed.

Orson Welles didn't mind, and said, "There's nothing to say, it's just that I'm a liar who I wrote, acted and directed, and told a story based on William Heston." ”

This sentence made Victor sure that Wells was talking about "Citizen Kane".

William Heston was a tycoon of American journalism in the early twentieth century, and "Citizen Kane" is a witness to the complex truth of a capitalist myth, and more importantly, the interpretation of emotions and fate through the life experience of this man and the rise and fall of his career.

Next, Wells told Victor his story from beginning to end without concealment, and Victor also expressed some of his own opinions on some of the details, and the two talked very speculatively.

"Victor, what's next for you?" Wells was also interested in Victor's next work.

"I'm going to make a movie about prison breaks." Orson Welles is chivalrous, unabashed, and has a good taste for Victor, so Victor doesn't hide his selfishness and tells "The Shawshank Redemption" again.

"This is good! Pretty good! Victor, you were born to do this. Wells loved the story.

"Well, come on, I'm having a hard time doing it right now." Victor shook his head bitterly: "Money is a problem, it was a problem originally, and now there are opponents, Twentieth Century Fox is also making movies on the same theme, and it is clear that it wants to suppress me." ”

Victor elaborated, and Wells was annoyed.

"I have a way to deal with the problem of money, if it's not enough, you come to me, I don't dare to say more, it's no problem to 1 million, you just shoot. I have a friend over there at Los Angeles No. 1 Prison, so I'll get in touch, and you'll be able to go there and shoot it, and they'll be very cooperative. Orson Welles was very good friends, and said: "As for the theater chain, the previous "This Killer is Not Too Cold" was very marketable, and Universal should be fine, so I will introduce you to the senior management of Raiden Hua when I have time, if they are interested, the entire theater chain of Thunderbolt will be open to you, which is not comparable to Universal Company." ”

"That's great." Victor laughed.

It is said that there is no endless road, and meeting Orson Welles is simply a send-off in the snow.

Looking at this guy who was quite high-spirited as himself, a bold year flashed in Victor's mind.

"Orsun, there's something I want to tell you, of course, it's just my idea, if you don't want to, it's okay." Victor Road.

"Oh, you say."

"Although the two of us met for the first time, it was good to have the same understanding of the film at first sight. I want to ask you, have you signed a contract with Raiden Hua now? ”

"You mean to sell yourself to them? That's impossible, I've never been a restricted person. Wells said.

Victor was very happy, added his lips, and looked at Wells expectantly: "So Orsun, do you want to come to me, the two of us together, and make a world in Hollywood!?" ”
