The idea of a film company sounds bold, but after Hollywood has completed a major consolidation, it is simply crazy. But this idea, Victor has been deciding on for a long time.

If you want to be a Hollywood emperor, you are destined to take a different and thorny path.

Victor is not afraid of difficulties, but at the moment, he is not familiar with Hollywood, or in other words, although he is familiar with the history of Hollywood, he is still a chick in the specific situation.

Only with the guidance and help of an old fritter like John Ford can we avoid detours, which is extremely important for the nascent film company.

John Ford didn't agree, and Victor was disappointed, but when he heard that John Ford had someone to recommend, Victor was interested.

"Who?" Victor asked.

The corners of John Ford's mouth twitched: "Nicholas Zink!" ”

"Nicholas Zink!?" Victor's heart was shocked: "That Nicholas Zink from MGM!?" ”

"Who else but him?" John Ford laughed.

Those who are not familiar with Hollywood history may not be familiar with this Nicholas Zink at all.

About this person, we have to start with MGM, the giant.

Throughout the history of Hollywood, there is only one company that can become the well-deserved king of kings in this film empire, create countless classic movies, establish the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and launch the Oscars, and bring together countless myths, and that is MGM!

Founded in 1924, the company is Hollywood's most prestigious film empire and is not only a symbol of Hollywood, but also a symbol of the United States.

The history of MGM is actually very interesting.

In 1924, Marskolov, a New York film tycoon, decided to buy two good Hollywood companies, Mitro and Gotwin, so that many of his movie theaters had a source of films, but after the acquisition, the question arose as to who would help him in Hollywood, so his loyal and commercially talented assistant Nicholas Zink became a good candidate.

It was also in this year, in 1924, that Marskolov bought the company of the famous independent filmmaker Louis Meyer, and the three companies were brought together to become the famous MGM.

In this way, Marskolov can not worry too much about specific things.

But Marskolov never dreamed that his carelessness would plant a time bomb for MGM.

Nicholas Zink is Marskolov's loyal old subordinate with his own ideas, and Louis Meyer is a prodigy who runs movies, and it is this guy who later single-handedly built the MGM film empire and became the veritable king of Hollywood, of course, this is all for later.

MGM's industry is very large, and many things need to be managed by Nicholas Zink and Louis Meyer at the same time, and Louis Meyer also found a helper, that is, Owen Saarberg, known as the Wonder Boy, this guy is young, but his business talent is no less than the previous two.

Louis Meyer was familiar with movies and the psychology of the audience, and by shooting high-budget films, he quickly established MGM's status, and it took only one year for MGM to become one of Hollywood's hegemons. As the company grew larger and his business philosophy became more and more different, the conflict between him and Nicholas Zink became more and more irreconcilable, and Zuihou simply became an opponent.

Marskolov saw this, and he wanted to solve it once and for all, but found that Meyer had firmly controlled MGM at this time, and unfortunately, in 1927, Marskolov died, and his death directly triggered a huge infighting at MGM.

After Marskolov's death, the huge MGM he left behind became a piece of fat that everyone wanted to keep for themselves, especially Louis Meyer.

And the nemesis Nicholas Zink could never let Meyer succeed, so Nicholas Zink made a bad move - secretly hooked up with William Fox, the owner of Fox Film at the time, and bought most of Marskolov's shares in MGM. This would be a blow to Meyer and Owen Saarberg, because if that were the case, they would have been kicked out of the company.

Louis Meyer quickly decided to fight back, using his connections in the Justice Department to sue William Fox for violating monopoly law and bankrupting Fox's takeover. Meyer's move had a huge impact on Hollywood, and it has affected Hollywood's history: first, William Fox was disgraced because of this incident, and because the ensuing economic crisis caused Fox Film Company to plummet and Zuihou was swallowed up by 20th Century Film Company.

Second, Meyer successfully kicked his arch-rival Nicholas Zink out of MGM, giving him control of the entire MGM, and under his leadership, MGM created unprecedented glory.

Victor is very clear about this past.

Victor was impressed and sympathetic to Nicholas Zink.

But when John Ford said he was going to recommend such a great guy to himself, Victor felt that there was something wrong with his head.

"Just kidding, Uncle John!? Who is Nicholas Sink? Twenty years ago, he was the head of Hollywood's biggest studio! Twenty years ago, he was in Hollywood, how could such a person take a fancy to me? How can you run to a small company with no money and no one!? ”

Victor thought it was a joke.

John Ford shook his head: "Twenty years ago, Nicholas Zinck didn't even look at William Fox, but now, feng shui is turning, and Hollywood has almost forgotten him." Moreover, this guy is not living well now. ”

"What do you mean?" Victor asked.

John Ford said: "Since being kicked out of MGM by Meyer, Nicholas has retreated to New York because there are still some of Marskolov's properties. But Meyer has always been a man who has cut the grass to the roots, and over the years, he has not only completely controlled MGM, but also eaten Marskolov's original theater chain and industry cleanly, and he is even more merciless to his old rivals. Nicholas Zinke was a pauper ten years ago. ”

Later, he also came to Hollywood, looking for an opportunity to make a comeback and fight Meyer again, but MGM is already Meyer's MGM, Hollywood, and has become Meyer's Hollywood, which company dares to cooperate with him? After a few tosses, the guy became disheartened and now lives on a manor in the suburbs of Los Angeles, writing reviews and scolding MGM all day. ”

"I see." Victor listened and was overjoyed.

If Nicholas Zink had been destitute now, it would have been easy.

John Ford glanced at Victor and said, "However, I warn you, Nicholas Zinke's dog-like temper and pride and eccentric personality will surely be despised if you let him help you set up such a shell company." For him, this is simply an insult! “

"Then you still recommend!?" Victor said loudly.

John Ford laughed, "This guy and I don't have a good relationship, he likes my movies, and he's a friend of mine." I can only match you up, as for how to convince him, that's your business. Victor, if you take down this person, hehe, I promise, with him to help you, all the bullshit you worry about will not be a problem at all. If you can take him! ”

Victor's competitive spirit was thoroughly stirred by John Ford's bullshit.

"I'm going to meet the former MGM boss for a while!" Victor stood up and put on his coat.

"Go now!?" John Ford looked outside.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit a day. Just today. Victor pulled John Ford: "I'm going to have to trouble you." “

"Grandma's, okay, for the sake of my 300,000 yuan pension." John Ford Hahadaxiao.

A group of people went out, got in the car, and headed straight for Los Angeles.
