Chapter 3: Hollywood Great

Anthony's slap scared Victor half to death.

In Hollywood, stars and directors are the darlings of film companies, especially big stars and directors, which directly leads to these people's distinct personalities. Mike Senat's generosity, Thomas Ings's elegance, David Griffith's stubbornness, Chaplin's inconsistency, Strauhen's perfectionism, etc., all famous directors seem to have a little bit of a different personality.

And John Ford is definitely the most prominent of these people. This guy, looks average, but has a big temper, the American cowboy character is perfectly reflected in him, he can take out a pistol for a shot and aim at the head of William Foss, the owner of 20th Century Fox, can give the actors on the set a blank look at him and fight with others shirtless, John Ford won the Oscar for Best Director four times in history, and the first three times he was not present to accept the award, for this, he said: "Once I went fishing, once I went to war, zuihou once I remember that I was drunk. ”

It's such a prickly person, Anthony actually went up in front of everyone and slapped someone hard!?

In the restaurant, everyone was stunned, and the scene was silent.

John Ford was really as angry as a bull, raised his fist high, but froze when he turned to look at Anthony: "Anthony? Is that you? ”

Fat guy Anthony smiled: "It's not me, who do you think it is?" ”

“hahahaha! How did you get to Hollywood? John Ford gave Anthony a strong hug and was delighted.

"They, acquaintance?!" Leo looked at Victor.

Victor shook his head. How could he know if he knew this bullshit or not.

In the box, the banquet was reopened.

John Ford pulled Anthony to chat: "Back in New York, if it weren't for Mr. Ferro and your help, I would have been bleeding on the streets, damn it, but it's exciting to think about!" I'm very grateful to Mr. Fello for forbidding me from joining the mafia, otherwise Hollywood would really be missing a good director. hahahaha。 ”

Anthony pouted: "You're the director?" This thing is no different from a bitch. ”

Victor's head is as big as a fight, and John Ford is thunderous in the United States, which one doesn't know?

"Anthony, don't you watch a movie?" Victor kindly reminded.

Anthony: "I never look at that kind of. ”

Victor:......

Next, John Ford and Anthony warmly reminisce about their bloody years in New York, and Victor discovers that the famous master of film history has a green past in his early years, and almost entered the mafia. Then Anthony told the current story of the Ferro family, and John Ford was very embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, let's have something affordable, I'm not as good as a pig and a dog now, and I don't have a place to stay, you can arrange it." Anthony laughed.

John Ford was very bold: "That's fine, I have a small estate on the outskirts of Hollywood, and you can stay there if you don't live all year round." ”

Then, John Ford pointed at Victor and asked Anthony, "Your little brother?" ”

Anthony smiled: "Mr. Ferro's only son." It's called Victor, when you were a child, you hugged it. ”

"It's little Victor!" John Ford stretched out his furry hand and squeezed Victor hard: "You've grown so big!?" ”

Victor was disgusted and laughed.

"You help me talk about it, don't let him be a bullshit actor, it's the right thing to do when I go back to New York with me to revive the Ferro family." Anthony Road.

John Ford was stunned and stared at Victor: "You want to be an actor?" ”

Victor muttered: "To be exact, I want to be a filmmaker and make a name for myself in Hollywood." ”

John Ford lit a cigar, took a puff, and said, "I think it's good." ”

Anthony tried to shout, but was stopped by John Ford.

John Ford said: "Anthony, the current Ferro family is no longer the original Ferro family, although I am very sad to hear this news, but I must point out that even if Victor returns to New York, it will be difficult to do a thing, and it is very likely that his life will be lost." Now Hollywood is on the move, as long as you have the ability, there is hope. ”

Anthony spread his hands and stopped talking.

John Ford said to Victor, "Which company are you signing with now?" ”

Leo replied next to him: "Mr. Ford, how can we sign a company with this qualification, and even the third-rate crew fired us." ”

John Ford Hahadaxiao: "Well, I'm just preparing a play, so you guys can come to me on set tomorrow and see if you can help." ”

"That's great!" Leo winked Victor's eyes, smugly.

John Ford said: "Victor, your father has a life-saving grace for me, the grace of knowing things, I should help you, but you have to be small in my temper, at work, especially in the movie, you don't recognize your six relatives, if you are not capable, don't blame me for not supporting you, understand?" ”

Looking at the stubborn-looking guy in front of him, Victor couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in his heart. This is the master of cinema.

"Mr. Ford, I understand. I'll try. Victor said.

John Ford laughed, "Call me Uncle John in private." Okay kids, go back early and rest, recharge your batteries, and find me tomorrow. ”

After settling the bill, John Ford was busy going to 20th Century Fox to talk about things, and let him stop and send Victor and the others to the small manor called Iris Manor.

It was indeed a small manor, but it was quite exquisitely furnished, full of trees and greenery, and the courtyard was full of irises, and Hollywood had such a secluded place, to Victor's surprise, Victor fell in love with this place at the first sight of the manor.

After settling into the room, Anthony yelled and went to sleep, and Leo and Victor took a shower and sat on the terrace with a cold beer.

Leo was very excited all night, and he talked non-stop.

"Victor, what luck, great luck! In the blink of an eye, I met John Ford! God, that's John Ford! Haha, it's time to get ahead! It's about to get ahead! Leo crossed his legs and looked at the lights of Hollywood, as if he was already a Hollywood bigwig.

This unproductive appearance made Victor chuckle.

Leo looked at Victor and smiled himself: "Victor, I know you think I'm useless." But, if you think about it, I grew up in an orphanage, I was beaten by the administrator when I didn't have enough food and clothing, and I escaped when I was 10 years old, and I supported myself with my own skills, pimping, beggars, thugs, janitors, I did everything. ”

"For me, this shijie is too cruel and too cold. What I need, not much, is a home, a wife who loves each other, a bunch of cubs, can not have much money, can only have a small room, but every night when I come home the family can sit around and eat happily. That's what I want for the future. That's what I'm here for. ”

"But you know, even this is too hard! It's a fucked society, a society where good things don't survive. ”

Leo was visibly a little drunk.

Victor let out a long sigh.

Who's to say that Leo's quest is unproductive? On the contrary, Victor felt that for a person, this could be the most hode pursuit of a lifetime.

"Leo, look, look at this place." Victor pointed to the dimly lit Hollywood, to the drunken Hollywood, to the fucked-up society.

The two were silent.

"The fucking of the times is a matter of the times, let's leave it alone, let's do it bare-chested for our own ideals!" Victor laughed.

"Tell me, what are your ideals?" Leo leaned over and said shyly.

Looking at the land in front of him, Victor raised his chin slightly: "I, I want to be the emperor of Hollywood!" ”
