Darryl Zanuk smiled, and it was a smile of obvious distrust.

"Victor, do you know the price of Hollywood's top screenwriter right now?" Zanuk threw out a sentence.

"I really don't know." Victor told the truth.

Zanukle: "Then I'll tell you, even Hollywood's best screenwriter wouldn't dare to tell me a story that would take $180,000 out of my pocket." I've read countless scripts, and I've heard countless stories. For movies, the most important thing is the story, but these stories have been told rotten in literature all over the past, and there are all the bridges. All novels, summed up, are just three words, life, death, love, and for Hollywood, another story is useless if there is no market, so the most haode screenwriter, his script is also tempered. Do you understand? ”

Zanuk completely treats Victor like an idiot who wants to go crazy about money.

Victor smiled and said, "Mr. Zanuk, try it, I'll tell you a story, you think it's worth 180,000 dollars, but before I talk about it, I'll tell you that I've registered the copyright for this story." ”

"Then I'll listen to you." Zanuk sat up straight: "I do have some expectations for you. ”

The room was silent, and everyone was staring at Victor's mouth

Not to mention Zanuk, even Leo and Pike had sad expressions on their faces.

"I'm going to tell a killer story." Victor Road.

"Don't!" Zanuk then interrupted Victor: "Do you want to make a Western?" Victor, the most popular movie in Hollywood right now, Westerns are counted as one, but now the wind is surging, and there may be more than a dozen Westerns released at the same time this year alone, and I have no interest in those robbers and cowboys! ”

Victor waved his hand: "You're wrong, I'm not talking about cowboys, I'm talking about a killer." ”

"What is there to say about the killer, Hollywood is all screwed." Zanuk remained noncommittal.

Victor smiled: "This killer, cold-blooded, Muna, sensitive, he saved a 12-year-old girl, and then the two fell in love." ”

"Huh?" Zanuk was dumbfounded.

"Do you want to continue?" Victor Road.

"It's kind of interesting." Zanuk threw Victor a cigarette: "Such a killer, such a story, is indeed different from the previous Hollywood killers who robbed banks and flew bullets." ”

Victor took the cigarette, lit it, and continued lightly: "This killer is named Leon......"

For a whole hour, Victor was telling Leon's story. This movie became popular in later generations, not only because of its unique vision, but more importantly, the warm story between this little Lori and Wei Shu Huang has long surpassed the definition of the genre of killer films.

Zanuk is right, any story of human beings can be summed up in three words: life, death, and love, but in fact, only one word is enough, that is: love!

Zanuk had been listening quietly, his expression intent, except for smoking cigarette after cigarette.

Victor's narration is very slow, as slow as cooking porridge, boiling slowly, telling the story, zuihou, even Leo and Pike and others are immersed in it.

"It's so fucking touching. This killer, I want to do it too. When Victor finished telling the story, Leo wiped his tears and said, "This Leon was not taken from my name!" Victor, you really know me, you are my confidante. ”

Victor glanced at the second goods speechlessly, and then looked at Zanuk: "How?" Is this story worth $180,000? ”

Zanuk didn't answer right away, but stood up, walked to the window, looked at the movie theater, and after a long time, sighed: "It's a pity that there is more than a movie theater." ”

"Ask you! Is it worth 180,000!? Leo shouted.

Victor smiled.

Zanuk turned around and said to Victor: "Within a week, I will see the script, if I am satisfied, this movie theater is yours." ”

"I'll be sure to put the script on your desk when I get there." Victor held out his hands.

Zanuk held Victor's hand and stared at Victor's face with interest: "William is right, you kid, you are indeed very talented as a screenwriter, come to our 20th Century Fox." ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in your company's intern screenwriters." Victor politely refused.

"This is easy to discuss, take your time, it won't take a few years for you to become a first-line screenwriter." Zanuk persuaded.

Victor shook his head: "My ideal is not to be a screenwriter. ”

"Oh, what's that?" Zanuk was intrigued.

Before Victor could speak, Leo interjected over there: "My brother is going to be a Hollywood emperor!" ”

“hahahaha。” Zanuk daxiao, and then nodded: "Young man, a little ideal, is haode." I'm waiting for your news. ”

……

Sending Zanuk away, the room was boiling.

"One story can be worth 180,000!? How much do I earn from being born and dying? Is it really that movies that make money? Anthony was dumbfounded.

Sean wiped his tears: "That's it! Now it's good! ”

Only Pike seemed to have some thoughts: "Victor, although I don't know much about Hollywood, but I think this story of yours will definitely be watched by many people if it is made into a movie, this story is fantastic." It was sold to 20th Century Fox for 180,000, which was a bit of a loss. ”

Victor nodded: "I also know that we have lost money, but there is no way at the moment, who let us have no money." ”

Anthony slapped the table and said angrily: "If it was twenty years ago, let alone 180,000, it was 1.8 million, what could it be?!" ”

"Heroes don't mention the year." Victor looked at the old movie theater and said, "Look ahead, this land will always be ours, and this era will always remember us." ”

Back from Los Angeles to Hollywood, it's already night.

Without saying a word all the way, Victor revisited and conceived the story of "Killer Leon" in his mind little by little.

Leo drives. The guy had been a little too excited since he came back from Los Angeles, chattering and talking to Pike about Victor's story.

"Drive with peace of mind......" Before Victor could say a word, he saw Leo scold and beat the steering wheel, and the car almost flew out sideways, with a loud bang!

There was smoke in the carriage, and Victor, who had Venus in his eyes, was dragged out by Leo and Pike, and before he could scold Leo, he was pinned to the ground by several people.

"Son of a bitch! Are you drinking carrot soup with long eyes!? The other party was very heavy, Victor struggled to get up, and saw that his car had all fallen apart, and after driving five meters, it was another car, which was a brand-new Ford, absolutely high-end, except that the rear of the car was hit and deflated, there was no.

"You guys stopped suddenly, and you still have a reason!?" Leo rushes up and makes a move, and the two sides fight in one place, Anthony follows, and Pike's face is covered in blood.

"Stop making a fuss." The door opened, and a figure came down.

Dressed in a black evening dress, painted with light makeup, and that delicate face appeared in front of everyone, whether it was Leo or Pike, whether it was Anthony or Victor, they were all stunned.

On shijie, there are people with such a sign.

"I'm so lucky!" Leo stared at the woman in a daze, and said something bastard.

"What's wrong?" Anthony Road.

Leo pointed at the woman and stammered, "Isn't this Ingrid Bergman!?" ”
