Chapter 35: The King of Hollywood? Beat!
Victor was already surprised to see Ingrid Bergman again in the middle of the night, but when he watched Nicholas Zink beat the man lying on the ground to death, and called out the man's name through gritted teeth, Victor was a little confused.
Louis Meyer!? The person who was beaten up by Nicholas Zink was the head of MGM and the current king of Hollywood!?
When it comes to Hollywood, people in later generations will think of it a lot, but those who know a little bit about the history of Hollywood will know that the name Hollywood is actually closely associated with a person to some extent, and this person is Meyer.
The story of a Jew from Russia, no name, no surname, no date of birth, fluent to the United States, entered the film industry, and became the king of Hollywood, this story sounds like a legendary movie, but it is indeed the life of Louis Meyer.
The godfather of Hollywood, his life is a movie.
At the end of the 19th century, in order to escape the persecution of Jews in Russia, Meyer was brought to the United States as a child, and he never knew his exact birthday, so he set his birthday on July 4, which was the national day of the United States, and also showed the ambition of this Russian immigrant to persist in his life from the beginning.
Meyer grew up quickly, and after getting married and having children, he rented a theater by chance. He was a natural orator, especially when he got his eye on the movie and thought it could make money, so he simply put it on and made nearly $30,000 in the first year. Meyer, who tasted the sweetness, was out of control, and later built a luxury theater, and did not hesitate to borrow money to buy the eastern rights to David Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation", making a million dollars, and then he made his energy and money from the screening to the film production industry, and established a film company in Hollywood.
In 1924, Meyer became the executive head of MGM, he made MGM, his 30 years in power was MGM's golden age, and at the same time, MGM also made him, those 30 years were the most Haode years of Meyer's life.
Under Meyer's leadership, MGM became the leader of Hollywood studios, and under Meyer's leadership, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was established, and the prestigious Oscars were officially established.
It can be said that without Meyer, Hollywood would never be that glorious Hollywood.
Victor had always admired such a bull man, but he didn't want to equate the bloody fat man on the ground with the name Louis Meyer.
"Mr. Ferro." Bergman quickly wiped the tears from his face and whispered, "Can you send me home?" ”
There was an indescribable grievance in her eyes.
Look at Bergman, look at Meyer, Victor seems to understand something.
"Nicholas, stop fighting, stop fighting!" Victor stepped up and dragged Nicholas away.
Don't say that Meyer is so bullish, even if he is an ordinary person, it will not be good to kill him Nicholas.
"You let me kill this son of a bitch!" Nicholas was furious.
"Kill him, and then what? And then you're going to the fucking gallows too?! If you want to him, do it openly! Victor said loudly.
Meyer struggled to get up from the ground, his gold-rimmed glasses shattered, and his face covered in blood staring at Nicholas.
Not far away, a group of people ran over, all in suits and leather shoes, which should be MGM people.
"Nicholas, how dare you come to Los Angeles!?" Meyer also didn't have a good impression of Nicholas, and by the time his men arrived, Meyer was more confident.
"I can go wherever I want! Maybe one day he will come into your bedroom with a gun and shoot you in the head! You ungrateful black-hearted bastard! Nicholas scolded.
"Hehehe, it's just a water dog." Meyer smiled coldly, and a murderous aura appeared on his face: "You want me to die, I won't let you die, I want you to live like a water dog for the rest of your life!" Let you have no face to meet your bullshit master back then! ”
Meyer glanced at Victor: "I heard that you joined a film company again, and you worked with this kid, right?" ”
"you!" Nicholas roared.
Meyer looked at Victor and sneered, "Nicholas, you're getting more and more promising. At least I chose a 20th Century Fox back then, but now, I actually chose such a milky scum and entered a leather bag company, which is really promising. ”
Victor's heart suddenly became angry: "Mr. Meyer, I respect you, but it does not mean that I can accept your insult, I ask you to retract what you just said." ”
"Retracted? Haha, he asked me to take back my words. Meyer turned to look at his men, who were making a fuss.
"Boy, you think Hollywood is a kindergarten! This is not the place for you scum, some of you, daydreaming all daydreaming. As Meyer said this, he looked at Bergman, and it was clear that the second half of the sentence was aimed at Bergman.
Victor's face immediately turned cold.
"What legendary studios? Listen, listen, is that a name? Boy, if I want to, I can make your bullshit legend bubble go up and down with a touch of a finger. Meyer sneered.
"Because you're at the head of MGM?" Victor laughed.
Meyer stared at Victor, leaned forward, and said word by word: "Because, I am, the king of Hollywood?!" ”
"Yo, King of Hollywood? Who sealed it, you? Victor took two steps forward,-for-tat.
"I don't have anything to do with scum like you, you get out of the way, I'm going to talk to Bergman." Meyer didn't bother to talk to Victor and stared straight at Bergman.
"I don't have anything to say to you!" Bergman cried.
Meyer was very angry and yelled, "Do you think you are amazing, I can make you or destroy you!" ”
"Fuck you!" Victor couldn't bear it any longer, and kicked Meyer to the ground: "Nicholas, come on, come on, kill this bitch together!" ”
"Did I say it earlier? This kind of scum, God will be happy to kill him! Nicholas rushed over to help.
That's all there is to it! The two men beat Meyer, Bergman pulled Victor, and MGM and his gang came over to beat Victor and Nicholas, and the scene was chaotic.
What's even worse is that Leo led a group of people who didn't know when they came over, and when they saw this scene, Leo took off his shirt and joined the battlefield bare-chested, there is no shortage of men in the crew of "This Killer is Not Too Cold", plus they all drank wine and swarmed up, the two sides fought hotly, and soon the surrounding whistles sounded!
By the time the police arrived to pull the crowd away, Meyer had been beaten to a pig's head, and his suit was torn apart and embarrassed.
"Nicholas, you wait! You wait! Meyer said angrily.
"And me, my name is Victor Ferro." Victor spat out.
"Good! Good! I'm not going to make it to Christmas to your kid's company! Meyer scolded.
Looking at Meyer's unrecognizable face, Victor Hahadaxiao: "Louis Meyer, one day, I will slaughter your MGM lion!" ”
