Making a movie, no matter what time it is, is a money burn.

If you don't have money, no matter how much you think about it, no matter how much you want to take the shot, it's useless.

But Leo said that the crew had no money now, and the news surprised Victor.

As a director, there are a lot of daily things to deal with, so Leo is responsible for the expenses of the crew, this guy is the production director of the crew, and he does it very conscientiously.

"No, Leo, we calculated before, $300,000 should be about the same." Victor Road.

Leo smiled bitterly: "It was the beginning, and now it is now." A lot of things don't count, including a lot of extra costs. Not to mention anything else, in order to pursue the perfection of the image style, you will often shoot several times when shooting, so that the cost will go up, and there is this ...... of eating, drinking, and Lazar."

Victor waved his hand: "You say, how many gaps are there now?" ”

Leo and Nicholas glanced at each other, and then flipped out the notebook they were carrying: "Now that the whole movie has been filmed halfway, and the previous shots are all some big scenes, if you want Zuihou to complete it, you still need 200,000." ”

"Two hundred thousand!?" Victor's head was as big as a bucket.

Where did the 200,000 come from!?

Nicholas looked at Victor and said, "Leo showed me the report before, and he said it well, Grant told you before that 300,000 US dollars can be filmed if you make do, but you are too demanding when shooting." Of course, this is for the sake of the film, so we didn't stop you at the time. ”

"But where can I get these $200,000?" Victor couldn't laugh or cry.

"What million dollars?" While the group was discussing, John Ford walked in with a rainstorm on his body: "Son of a bitch weather." ”

It can be seen that this guy is in a bit of a bad mood.

When John Ford arrived, everyone got up.

Victor briefly explained two things about Nicholas and Leo, and John Ford couldn't sit still.

"How so? It's no wonder that today, MGM's distribution director went to 20th Century Fox and talked to William Fox for a long time. John Foucle picked up a cigar.

"What does this have to do with us?" Leo wondered.

John Ford glanced at Leo with disdain: "The eight major Hollywood studios all have a certain number of theaters, among them, MGM, Paramount, and Warner Bros. have the largest number of movie theaters, and in addition, it is 20th Century Fox." Paramount wants to come to work with MGM, and now Warner Bros. and Paramount are also very close, so this time, MGM's distribution director went to 20th Century Fox, and he must have talked about the theater chain, this matter, originally I thought it was to discuss the issue of the upcoming new films of the two film companies, but William Fox called me in after the talk, and I knew that the content of their discussion was related to Victor. ”

"In a word, you really completely provoked Meyer, he sent a sentence to make your movie even if it is made, there will be no theater screening."

John Ford's words made Victor fall into an ice cave with chills all over his body.

"It's too dark, isn't it? A dignified MGM actually came up with such a bad method. Leo was not convinced.

John Ford laughed, "What's this, who makes the family rich." Meyer is right, he can kill you with one finger. ”

Victor sneered: "Fuck it." Our lives are in our own hands, and the more he does this, the more I want to give him a good look! ”

Leo nodded, and said: "You can still think of a way to deal with the theater chain, but what about the 200,000 dollars?" ”

When they heard this, they fell silent.

Among these people, John Ford is the richest, but he has already taken out 300,000 yuan before, and this money is estimated to be his limit. The rest of the people are all so poor that they can come up with 20,000 dollars, but where are the 200,000 yuan.

John Ford said: "The crew must not stop, let alone delay, everything we have done before will be in vain, and it is even more difficult to drag it down, the personnel and equipment are there, and delaying it for a day is equivalent to spending an extra day." ”

Pike said: "This is easy to do, everyone work hard first, don't get paid, wait for the movie to be released......"

Leo waved his hand: "You don't understand these at all, on the one hand, many people are dragging their children and daughters, how can they not be paid, on the other hand, and most importantly, in addition to salary, there is no way to spend other expenses." ”

Nicholas said, "If it doesn't work, we'll borrow money." ”

"Borrowing money? Borrow from whom? Banks in Los Angeles? That's impossible. Other Hollywood studios are also unlikely, and even if they agreed, they would open their mouths. John Ford rejected Nicholas' offer almost without a second thought.

At this time, Anthony, who had not spoken on the side, spoke: "Victor, or, let's sell the Los Angeles theater." ”

"No way!" Victor did not agree.

It was not easy to keep that theater, which is now the only physical industry of his own, and he can't let it out no matter what.

"Is there any news from Grant?" John Ford asked.

"Are you still thinking that Bernano would be able to invest money on that dog's day?" Nicholas was furious at the mention of Bernano: "Don't be delusional! If he had said yes, he would have said yes! ”

"Dead horses should be live horse doctors, maybe there will be a show. I'll give Grant a call and ask. John Ford stood up, made a phone call, said a few words, turned around with a smile on his face, and said, "Grant is looking for us, go, where is he!" ”

"What are you going to do with him?" Victor asked.

John Ford looked mysterious: "You'll know when the time comes." ”

Hollywood City Hall. Grant's office.

When Victor and the others came in, they saw smoke rising in the office, and Grant and Bernarno were swallowing the clouds, and the atmosphere was very warm.

"Victor, haha, come, come, come, is waiting for you." As soon as he saw Victor, Grant greeted him affectionately and came in with his arm around Victor.

Victor sat down on the sofa, stared at Bernano, and nodded slightly.

"Our Mr. Ferro seems to have some opinions about me." Bernano shrugged.

"How else can I do you like a bitch?" Anthony the Fat Bear shouted.

Grant hahadaxiao: "It's okay, they're all friends, and we'll be a family in the future, and these unpleasant things will be written off." ”

"Who's with his family!? Who do I think of him? Anthony gave a blank look.

Grant turned around and said to Victor: "Victor, is your crew broken now?" ”

This sentence made Victor frown.

The fact that the crew of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" has no money is only known to his own group, even if John Ford didn't tell Grant on the phone before, how did he know?

Thank you for your tips and support. A book friend said, Xiao Zhang, you are the director Long Live II, why does it have nothing to do with the first part? Oh, how can it be okay, cute big oh, in terms of content, it's still a Hollywood thing, in terms of age, the first part was written in the 30s, this one starts from 40 years, showing the golden age of Hollywood, the characters are the new task, but the thing is still a Hollywood thing, Xiao Zhang doesn't like to fry cold rice, and strives to build a full picture of this golden age for everyone.

If possible, if everyone is willing to support it, Xiao Zhang plans to continue to write, maybe there will be a three, a four, haha, until the 21st century. If that's the case, I think this series, regardless of its length or time span, may create a creation that belongs to us in online literature, especially entertainment literature.

So, please support me all the way and accompany me all the way. It's a bit wordy, and it's a waste of everyone's time.
