Chapter 18: Legendary Films

In 1542, the Portuguese captain Juan RodrΓ­guez, unaware that he was the first European conqueror to stand on a sailing ship and look out over the huge harbor, hesitated to spread the word and then declared the conquest of the territory before him.

The Indians, who lived in the canyon, were alarmed by the arrival of the invaders at sea, and they lit a raging fire, and in an instant thick smoke billowed the sky, and Juan did not see any value in this wild land, and ordered the sailors to turn around. Thanks to his negligence, the place survived for 200 years.

200 years later, the Spaniards waited for this remote place, different races established their first colonies by a beautiful river, and for many years, poor immigrants of different colors and religions flocked to this town, which was named "Land of God", which was the predecessor of Los Angeles.

The whole of California, a vast state, with herds of cattle and horses, natural pastures, beautiful scenery and abundant sunshine, was still the favorite place for Americans to stay in 1940.

Especially in the suburbs of Los Angeles, there are the convenience of the bustling city of the big city, as well as the small bridges and rivers in the countryside, many people with status and status like to stay there, of course, there are also poor people who grow crops such as palms.

South of Los Angeles, a stretch of rivers and farmland. John Ford drove his big car, chattering along the way.

"Victor, Nicholas has a strange temper, I'll see you later, look at my face." Ford Road.

Victor ignored him, instead looking at the scenery outside.

The scenery is very good, there are no people on the road, and even if there are people passing by, they are all poor people in rags, this is not a rich area, but the homeland of the countrymen.

The car circled around and stopped in front of a small farm.

It was an old wooden building, two floors, erected alone on a small dirt slope, with a big tree at the door, and at the intersection, a sign was written: "Eat the gun or go back, you choose one!" ”

Victor smiled, it seemed that the old man Nicholas was really hot-tempered.

Victor, Ford, Leo, and Pike, the four of them got out of the car, and before they could stand on their feet, they heard a dog barking, and they pounced viciously with the help of a dozen large dogs.

"Nicholas, you old immortal! Call the dog back! Ford, who seemed to be afraid of dogs, reached out and pulled out his pistol: "If you want to eat dog meat tonight!" ”

A whistle sounded, the dogs sat down at the gate of the manor, and with a thud the door of the house opened, and an old man appeared in front of Victor.

What an old man this is! Victor was dumbfounded.

Dressed entirely as a western cowboy, hung very well, with an Indian feather headdress on his head, a shotgun on his shoulder, and a pair of tall cowhide boots with a grappling hook on his feet!

He was tall, in his fifties, but his hair was almost completely white, his face was square, his mouth was crooked, and his mouth seemed to be chewing raw beef, and blood was left at the corners of his mouth.

"John, you bitch don't stay in bastard Hollywood, what are you doing here?" The old man's voice was hoarse, and he was very confident.

"There's something good to talk about!" John Ford smiled and was about to walk into the yard.

Rumble! Nicholas Zink fired a quick shot, and the bullet hit John Ford's foot, sending a cloud of dust!

"I don't have anything to talk to you about, fuck off!" Nicholas carried the gun.

"Good thing! It's really a good thing! John Ford smiled wryly.

"What good can you do?! Hollywood people don't have a good thing. I'm not interested, get out, or I'll shoot your eggs with one shot, believe it or not? Nicholas was furious.

John Ford was not.

"Let's go, Uncle John, since this old guy doesn't want to go back to Hollywood and kill Meyer, forget it. It's just a bad seed, and it's already downhill and daring. Victor Daxiao snorted, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait! What did you just say? Nicholas Sinker exclaimed.

John Ford walked in with a dead face: "I said it's a good thing, but you don't believe it." ”

The four men saw the courtyard, and Nicholas did not let the four men into the house at all, pointing to the hallway, where the four sat on shabby wooden chairs, and Nicholas stood opposite with a shotgun on his shoulder.

"What do you mean by that sentence just now?" Nicholas asked.

John Ford and Victor glanced at each other, and Ford said, "Nicholas, have you been living in such a shabby place all these years?" Do you want to live like this all the time? ”

"That's my business!" Nicholas said in a rough voice.

"Don't." John Ford smiled mysteriously: "You are Nicholas Sink, once Hollywood's biggest figure, you can't live like this." You don't want to kill Meyer's shit? ”

Hearing the name Meyer, Nicholas's eyes widened, and he almost breathed fire: "Why don't I want to!?" ”

"If you want, sit down and let's talk, now there is a very good opportunity." John Ford patted the chair in front of him.

Nicholas sat down and said, "Is 20th Century Fox trying to pull me in?" ”

"William Fox's bitch didn't have the guts to offend Meyer, I'm talking about someone else." Ford Road.

Nicholas looked at Ford and smiled, "You!?" Stop dreaming, be your director, you simply don't have the capital to bring down Meyer. ”

John Ford shook his head: "It's not me, either." ”

"Who?" Nicholas looked at John Ford suspiciously, and then his gaze fell on Victor's face: "It can't be this kid, right?" ”

"Yes." John Ford nodded.

Nicholas Hahadaxiao, laughing and laughing, suddenly put the shotgun on John Ford's head: "You bitch, no one has ever made fun of me like this!" Get out of here! ”

"Don't you want to know who this kid is?" John Ford was unfazed.

"Who do I care who he is!? It's just a little hairy kid! Nicholas said.

Victor couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Mr. Zink, I would like to invite you to join my company as general manager. ”

"Not interested!" Nicholas refused.

John Ford laughed, "Listen to it." ”

Nicholas rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Which company?" ”

Victor smiled: "Legendary Films." ”

"Legendary Films?" Nicholas Zink was stunned for a moment, then turned his face and asked John Ford: "Which of the eight major Hollywood studios has changed its name?" ”

John Ford looked at Victor and didn't say a word.

Victor laughed: "This company has nothing to do with the eight major film companies. Actually, it hasn't been registered yet. ”

Nicholas Zink became interested in Victor's identity and said to John Ford, "What's the origin of this kid?" Wall Street's plutocrats are preparing for new studios. β€œ

"Bullshit Wall Street." John Ford scolded.

Victor didn't intend to deceive Nicholas Zink, and said seriously: "Mr. Zinke, I don't have any background, in fact, I was a third-rate actor at the bottom of Hollywood a few days ago, and now I have no money, only a script in hand and countless ideas in my head, tomorrow I plan to register and establish this film company called Legend, and I want to invite you to be the general manager of this company." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Nicholas Zink directly roared: "What about taking Lao Tzu for fun!?" Get lost! Get out of here! ”
