Chapter 77: Take off your pants and go into battle

Orson Welles is a man who has a wild and uninhibited personality and loves freedom all his life, and he can be regarded as a maverick.

In terms of movies, his ideas and techniques largely exceed those of his peers, there is nothing to say about recuperation, in terms of social experience, this guy has done all kinds of work, has seen a lot of knowledge, and has a lot of connections, and in terms of temper, Victor and he are very eye-to-eye, and they all belong to the kind of people who have no conspiracy and are open-minded.

can pull such a master into the gang, and the legendary film company will add another athlete!

Orson Welles looked at Victor and said with a smile: "Victor, if it weren't for you, if someone else told me this, I would definitely knock him down with one punch." ”

"Why?" Victor's heart scolded.

"My family has been torn apart since I was a child, and my personality since I was a child didn't like to be constrained, and I did everything like that, and it was difficult to continue to do one thing, journalist, actor, banker, painter, I did it all, and I didn't do it for long, and it was the same with movies. I'm not going to spend my whole life on this. So, Lei Dianhua wooed me, but I didn't go. Wells told the truth.

"Fuck off! Our Legend is not the same as Raiden! Leo roared: "We will idealize, we have passion!" ”

Victor kicked Leo, turned his face to Wells and said: "Oxun, and Raiden Huabi, we are a small company, and our strength is not worth mentioning, but we do have ideals, and now Hollywood is staring at money and box office, I want to make some really good movies, real things, moving things, meaningful things, and doing something meaningful." ”

Wells nodded, and Victor spoke to his heart.

The most unbearable pain in Wells's life is wasting time and doing nothing.

"We have a common philosophy and pursuit, as long as the heart is in one place, I want to be able to break out of the world. The legend is small and self-made, and precisely because of this, there are not too many restrictions and constraints. Victor looked at Wells and stared straight at his face: "I hope you can come!" ”

Wells was silent for a long time and said, "Victor, I understand your intentions. In fact, you don't need to say much, I can feel your thoughts from that "This Killer is Not Too Cold", more importantly, it is optimistic about your future, the future of the legend, and will definitely create a legend. You make me think about it. I'm now fully focused on my film, and the project is ready to start filming soon. When this movie is finished, I'll reply to you, okay? ”

"Yes. Of course. Victor smiled.

This kind of thing can't be talked about all at once. For Wells, Victor will not give up. As long as you don't give up, there is hope to fight for it.

A group of people drank until midnight, and they were all too drunk to go out to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Wells handed his business card to Victor: "Victor, if you have something to do with me, I will definitely do my best to help." ”

"Feel free to come to Legend for coffee." Victor laughed.

On the way back, Victor sat in the car and was silent.

"I don't understand, why do you want to bring him in so much? Hollywood is full of people, and that guy is just a bastard in his early twenties, is it worth it? Leo grumbled.

He has a lot of opinions about Orson not immediately agreeing to enter the legend.

"Early twenties? Hehe, if you are not old, who knows if he will become a master? Victor said.

"Master!? Haha, damn it, if he can become a master, I can win a little golden man! Leo shook his head.

"This young man has a level." Nicholas Zink laughed.

The old man has read countless people, and he rarely looks at people: "There are ideas." Whatever you do, as long as you have an idea, it's fine. ”

In the next few days, Victor gathered John Ford and others to distribute the script, which was unanimously praised by almost everyone.

"Hahaha, this time I think Fox's goddamn day is going to break his head and bleed!" John Ford gloated and said, "Victor, hurry up and get ready for filming." ”

"Trouble." Victor smiled: "The copyright has been registered, and the most critical issue at the moment is the actor." The two protagonists, how to decide, do you have any ideas? ”

There are many characters in "The Shawshank Redemption", but the most critical ones are obviously Andy and Red. These two characters, one young and one old, one white and one black, have their own characteristics in terms of personality and identity.

Whether these two roles are played well or not will directly determine the success or failure of this movie.

Victor didn't want this later classic to be ruined in his own hands.

He knew, and everyone else knew the importance of these two roles.

The room fell silent.

It was Nicholas Zink who spoke first: "Now we don't just have to consider the movie "The Shawshank Redemption", but also "No Country for Old Men", we will have two movies next year. This amount is not worth mentioning at all in the eight major film companies, and 20th Century Fox has twenty or thirty films a year. But for us, there's pressure. One is that funds are limited, this is good to say, we can tailor it, there is less money and less money to spend, but it is not easy for people to do. The eight major film companies have a group of their own stars, especially MGM Paramount, whose stars account for the vast majority of Hollywood, and for them it is the stars who ask for them, not them who look for stars. We're different. We don't have a lot of people on hand right now, and this is a fatal problem. ”

The ginger was still old and spicy, and Nicholas almost hit the nail on the head to say what Victor was worried about.

Talent! Talent is the most important thing at all times.

"Fred, you are the director of "No Country for Old Men", tell us what you think, who to choose?" Victor surrendered his gaze to Zenerman.

Zenerman thought for a moment and said, "The protagonists of this movie are three, an old cowboy, an old sheriff, and a cold-blooded killer. Very distinctive. ”

"Old cowboy, I suggest John play ......"

"I'm coming! I want to direct! "John Ford has a headache.

"I don't care so much, it's you. Fuck. Victor pressed the task down.

"Old sheriff, I think John Wayne is on it, he is suitable for this, and this needs to be persuaded by John." Zenerman still has a very set of people to choose people, and his vision is very accurate.

John Wayne and Ford have a great relationship and are now the biggest stars of Hollywood cowboys.

"I'll try to say, damn it, Fox is probably going to be pissed off." John Ford covered his face with two handfuls.

"As for the cold-blooded killer, I really can't think of anyone in the company to play it, and later, I had an idea and felt that there was someone who should be able to play this ** well?" Zinaman said.

"Who!?" The crowd looked at Zenerman curiously.

Zenerman pointed at Victor: "Boss! The script he wrote, and the appearance condition is good, it is the most suitable to play this! ”

"Holy! I'm going to take off my pants and go into battle myself, and I'm going to play a **killer!? "Victor wanted to cry without tears.
