Since the establishment of Hollywood in the early 20th century, after more than 20 years of development, it has gradually established several systems that have affected the development of all shijie films, such as the film producer system, Hollywood's unique film assembly line system, etc., the most important of which is the establishment of the movie star system.

In the early days of Hollywood, the production of movies followed the director-centered system to a certain extent, and at that time, the audience cared most about the most basic stories and movie genres, and as for the movie actors, they didn't pay much attention to it at first.

With the gradual development of Hollywood films, especially through the contributions of a large number of film artists such as Griffiths, film as an independent art has gradually improved, and movie stars have not only become a means to improve the ability of film expression, but also become a key factor affecting the final performance of a film. In this case, movie stars have played a greater role in the development of the Hollywood film industry than film directors to some extent.

MGM General Manager Louis Meyer once said, "Stars, especially rare movie stars, have contributed more to the film itself than anyone can match." It is also from this point of view that the major Hollywood film companies often spend a lot of effort in recruiting movie stars, and the major film companies not only have scouts who specially select actors, but also the eight major film companies have specially established the discovery and support of actors.

In Hollywood in 1940, many stars emerged, such as Fangda, Garbo, Humphrey Bogart and a number of other stars, which not only became the darling of the audience in the United States, but also affected the entire shijie.

If a film company, no matter how big or small, can have a few stars with huge box office appeal, then the economic and social benefits of the arrival cannot be underestimated.

Victor considers himself so lucky.

When I first came to Hollywood, I turned around and found Gregory Peck.

This man, known as the greatest movie star in Hollywood history, not only has a good appearance, but also has a heart of gold, in history, Gregory Peck can go down in film history, not only because of his handsome appearance, but more importantly, regardless of the screen, this man let everyone see the ideal existence.

Although John Ford scolded Victor on the phone, half an hour later, he asked his assistant to send Victor $500. After receiving the money, the theater owner was elated and almost did not hesitate to remove Gregory Peck from the troupe.

Leading Gregory Peck out of the theater, Leo began cursing in front of him.

"Victor, you're crazy. If you want to find someone, give me $50 and I can find you a reinforced platoon, you have to have a body and a face and a face, what kind of man can't find it? Hollywood doesn't say anything else, two-legged people, that's what it is. You say, this chick, if you want to be graceful, if you don't look good, the telephone pole is generally weak and can't help the wind, I really can't see where he is worthy of the $500. Leo didn't have a good impression of Gregory Peck.

Victor hadn't said anything yet, but Gregory Peck couldn't stand it over there.

After all, he is a young man, and he is a young man with ideals and revenge, where can he stand such ridicule from Leo, the two of them punched together, which made Victor interested.

Leo can't do anything serious, but he is definitely good at fighting, and he has rarely encountered opponents in Hollywood in the past, but he was a little unlucky against Gregory Peck this time.

Pike was tall, and often seemed thin but actually quite sturdy, and what was even worse was that this man, who seemed to be quiet on the surface, could not have imagined that he was a good hand in boxing.

"Don't think that you have two stinky money to insult my personality casually." Gregory Peck crossed his hands on Victor with an unfriendly gaze.

Victor understands this mood very well.

"Let's go to dinner first, and then we'll talk." Victor pointed to a small restaurant next to him.

The three of them went into the restaurant, drank and chatted.

Gregory Peck was simple-minded, and after a few glasses of wine, he told the whole story of himself.

Gregory Peck was born in California at an early age. Relative to Americans in other states, Californians seem to have an innate affinity for movies, after all, Hollywood is here. Gregory Pike had a turbulent childhood, his parents divorced when he was five years old, and he was forced to live with his grandmother, who loved Pike very much, and although he was financially constrained, he would always take Pike to the cinema every week.

From the time he was in school, Pike became obsessed with acting and decided to become an actor. Last year, he went to Broadway to look for work, and when he ran into a wall, Zuihou was noticed by a theater company manager and became a full member of the theater company. Originally, this matter made Pike very happy, but he didn't expect that after joining the troupe, not only did he not have the opportunity to be the leading actor as he imagined, but even became a handyman in the troupe at all, and what was even worse was that he had signed a 5-year contract with the troupe before, and if he fulfilled the contract, he would have to accompany a large sum of money, which is basically an astronomical amount for Pike today.

After listening to Gregory Peck's story, Victor couldn't help but laugh. The greatest male star in history has such a fucked manager.

"Gregory, yes, I'm just a little guy in Hollywood, not the powerful person you think. However, despite being a small person, I have never given up on my cinematic ideals, and for me, there is no art more important than a film on Shijie. As for the acting you like, I think if you put your talents in the movie, there will be more room for development, instead of wasting your youth on that idiot-like stage. ”

"I hope you can do a good job in Hollywood with me, you are so good, I think there will always be a chance. Of course, if you don't want to, you can choose to leave, I won't say anything, and as for the $500, it's not worth mentioning. Victor lit a cigarette and smiled at Gregory Peck.

The big boy's face turned red: "Mr. Fellro, I am very grateful to you for being able to pull me out of that rotten quagmire, I am not the kind of ungrateful person, but in fact, I have never acted in a movie myself, I have no experience in this area, and I have no doorway, Hollywood is hiding dragons and crouching tigers, I have no confidence, and more importantly, Mr. Fellro, after leaving the troupe, I have no hope now, at least I can't even support myself, How can you still hold on to your dream? ”

Leo smiled and scolded: "You kid is like a girl, who said that if you don't have money, you can't stick to your dreams, look at the two of us, aren't you very haode." ”

Victor nodded, and walked out with Gregory Peck and Leo, three drunken guys staggering through the traffic of Hollywood.

Victor patted the two of them on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Wait for me, give me some time, and I will take you to see an incomparably brilliant shijie." ”
