Chapter 29: Marilyn Monroe
Under the arrangement of Nicholas Zink, the division of labor before and after "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" was determined, but Anthony had no work, where was this fat bear willing to follow, and he went crazy on the spot.
Victor hooked his hand at Anthony, and the two of them muttered for a while, and Anthony the fat bear was stunned at first, and then showed ecstasy, patting his chest: "Leave this matter to me, it will never go wrong, Victor, I have never seen you so thief-minded!" ”
Leo and the others next to him couldn't stand it. Especially Leo: "What are you two muttering?" And it's still a cheap look. ”
"This is a secret. Big secret. Victor spread his hands.
In just one night, "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" has been officially put on the agenda.
The next day, according to the previous arrangement, a group of people scattered and went to their own business.
In the middle, Victor himself is under the most pressure.
Whether it's equipment or theaters, whether it's publicity or follow-up work, these are easy to solve as long as they are troublesome, but it's hard to find a good actor, especially a good actor who satisfies Victor. This kind of thing is about fate.
Hollywood in 1940 was extremely mature and on its way to its golden age.
Although film is an art, it still has a lot of requirements for jishu and talent. Talent has always been the biggest driving force to support the development of this industry.
Hollywood, the dream factory of light and shadow, creates dreams and produces dreams, and has also attracted countless people to join, especially those young people with star dreams, from the United States and even the whole shijie, who can enjoy the tsunami-like applause of the mountain.
Therefore, for these young people, but also in order to discover talents for their own companies, major film companies basically have their own actor training schools, in addition, Hollywood also has some independent actor schools to send talents to film companies.
Victor took Leo and others to start with these actor schools.
After spending a whole day wandering around these actor schools in Hollywood, Victor and the others almost ran into a wall everywhere.
Let's talk about the actor schools under the major film companies, the biggest ones are Paramount and MGM, the heads of these film schools, without exception, are all people from the film company, and they have an extremely narrow selfish concept, there is no problem in sending personnel to the company, and outsiders don't care about it at all, not to mention that in their eyes, Victor is simply a little person as light as a feather.
The actor schools under these film companies could not be found, and Victor could only find those independent actor schools, but the results were not optimistic.
First of all, most of the people founded by these actor schools are speculators, to put it simply, it is nothing more than making money, their training methods are not professional at all, and the low-level actors do not make Victor look at them, and what's worse is that there are basically few schools for child actors to train, because this is thankless.
In some schools, before they even talked about things, the lion opened their mouths and asked for a price, which made Victor cry and laugh.
After a tiring day, sitting in a café next to him and drinking coffee, Victor was sad.
"I usually go out, there are actors everywhere, how can I find it so difficult to find a young actor now! It's harder than a rooster laying eggs! "Leo was tired from the day and in a bad mood.
"What then?" Pike Road.
Victor turned his face to look at Leo: "Leo, is there any other way than to go to the actor's school to find it?" ”
Leo thought for a while and said, "The best and most direct way is to go to an actor's school, but in addition, you can also find a manager." ”
"Manager?" Victor was a little unfamiliar with the term.
Leo explained: "It's a scout. Those dogs just wandered around with nothing to do, and many people ran almost all over the United States, just to dig out those potential future stars, and then negotiated to sell them to film companies to make a lot of money. ”
"Oh." Victor understood.
Leo said: "These people still have some talent on hand, and most of them are of higher quality than film schools, but they are all chicken thieves, very cunning, and the price is probably not negotiable." ”
"Speaking of price, the key is to find someone, otherwise it will be troublesome." Victor said urgently.
Leo stood up: "I know a senior talent scout, he's in Hollywood, I'll call him and ask him to come over." ”
Leo ran out to make a phone call, and several people sat in the café and waited, and after waiting for about an hour, they saw a fat man with dark skin walk in.
"Come, Gail, let me introduce you, this is my brother, Victor Ferro, owner of the legendary film company." After greeting him, Leo introduced.
The fat man named Gail laughed, sat down, ordered the steak first, and devoured it, without even looking at Victor the whole time.
Victor took a closer look at the fat man and saw that the guy didn't seem to be living well, even though he was dressed well.
"Legendary Films? Haven't heard of it! Leo, just say, something is looking for me. When the fat man finished eating, he burped and wiped his mouth.
Victor threw the fat man a cigarette and said, "I haven't heard of normal, what we do is a small business, not as good as a big company." I heard that you are a talent scout, and we need a little actress who is about 14 years old now. ”
"Making a movie? haha。 The fat man was happy: "Looking for an actor, you are looking for the right person for me." I'll tell you, in Hollywood, there's no actor I can't find in Gail, Vivien Leigh, the scenery, that's what I found. ”
"Can't you die if you don't brag!? Be serious. Leo slapped him in the face, and Gail was honest.
"Are there any other requirements besides age?" Gaeldo.
Victor: "Thin, although 14 years old, mentally mature, rebellious, good image, it is best to have an innate independent temperament." ”
Gail scratched his head: "This is actually quite a high request. But now that you've found me, Gail, I'll do it with you. So, how many of these little lambs do I have on hand, and I will take you to see them? ”
"Cheng, let's go now." Victor was delighted.
After following Gail, he walked several blocks and stopped at the door of a shelter.
"How can it be a shelter?" Victor exclaimed.
Gail smiled slyly: "The raiser needs to eat, drink, and sleep, before they sold it, the money was not out of me, how could I have so much money, so send it to this place, I don't have to worry about it, they are good, I just need to give the dean a little bit." ”
Standard profiteer one!
After entering the orphanage, Gail found the dean and whispered a few words, and the dean immediately brought in a group of girls.
"It's all here, see for yourself if there's anything you're satisfied with." Gail pointed to the girls as if he were to a flock of lambs for sale.
Victor took a closer look. These girls, all dressed in rags and malnourished, may have seen too many such scenes, and everyone looked at Victor with a numb and dazed face.
After reading it again, Victor was disappointed and shook his head.
"It seems that the requirements are quite high, change the wave!" Gail gritted his teeth.
There was a second wave, and again, Victor was not satisfied.
"Leo, you're picky enough." Gail was a little unhappy.
Leo laughed: "Gail, you bitch raise a quick take out the best inventory you have on hand, and you don't want to hide it with me." ”
Gail sighed, as if he had lost something, and nodded to the dean.
Soon, five or six girls were sent in.
As soon as the five or six girls came in, Victor's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, it was Gael's bootlegged. These girls, although they are only in their teens, their faces, silhouettes and figures are very eye-catching, and they are definitely first-class stunners when they grow up.
"How's that, isn't it?" Gail whistled.
"If you look good, you may not be able to act." Victor laughed, then walked over with a plate of cake and placed it in front of the girls.
Several girls looked at the cake, and along the saliva, no one moved.
"Eat, give you what the fuck you eat." Gail roared.
Several girls came up and picked up the cake and ate it, and there was a girl in the middle, more wild than the others, who simply used her hands, gobbling it up, and eating it with cream on her mouth.
This is a very thin girl, blonde hair and blue eyes, there is an obvious mole on the corner of the mouth on the right side of the face, the lips are high, and the appearance is so sexy, especially that figure, although thin, it can be clearly seen that the convex and backward curls can be seen, which is far from what a girl of this age can have.
This face, especially the mole, made Victor suddenly feel very familiar, but for a moment he couldn't imagine that Weishenme himself would feel that this little girl was very familiar, so he was stunned for a while.
The Gaelic chicken thief, seeing that Victor was interested in the little girl, pulled the little girl over.
"This little lamb is good, look at this little face, this figure, hehehe, I tell you, buy it back, make movies during the day and serve you at night, it feels very haode......" Gail reached out and touched the girl's buttocks.
The girl became angry and kicked Gale in the knee.
"You bitch!" Gal Young slapped the little girl with his hand, and the little girl fell to the ground on her back.
At this time, Victor noticed that the girl's thighs and arms were covered with bruises.
"Do you believe that I'm going to kill you?!" Gail was about to continue his move, but was stopped by Victor.
"Come on. Don't be afraid. Victor picked up the little girl and pulled her to him.
The little girl looked at Victor with her eyes open and full of hostility.
"What's your name?" Victor Road.
"Norma Jane Baker," said the little girl.
Norma Jane Baker? I don't think I've heard this name anywhere? Victor was stunned.
"Victor, this girl is good." Leo had a good impression of the girl.
Victor also thought the girl was very good.
How to say it, there is no problem with her appearance, there is no problem with her figure, and the most important thing is that there is always something in this girl that attracts Victor. Wild, uninhibited, with exuberant vitality, like a weed.
"I'm a movie maker, do you want to come with me?" Victor laughed.
The girl only stared into Victor's eyes, fearless: "Can you eat enough?" ”
"Yes."
"Can you have a bed of your own?"
"Yes."
"Aren't there any men who climb up at night?"
"Nope."
"I'll go with you!" The girl held her head high.
Looking at the girl, Victor nodded vigorously, turned to Gail and said, "That's it." ”
"Yay!" Gail was so happy that he walked up to the girl and patted the girl's buttocks: "Monroe, my little girl, I'm really a little reluctant to let you go." ”
"Wait, what do you call her?" Victor was shocked.
"Monroe, sometimes call him Marilyn, we all call her that, how is it, does this name sound like a stunner?"
Victor's eyes rolled and he nearly fainted.
