Chapter 112: The Premiere of "No Country for Old Men" (4)
At the premiere of "No Country for Old Men", the most excited people were obviously not the Hollywood bigwigs who were fascinated by the movie, but a bunch of guys from the legendary film company.
Leo squatted on the chair and poked Victor vigorously: "Hey, Victor, we should be able to make a lot of money now, right?" ”
"It should be okay." Victor was still worried about this movie before, but now, a stone has fallen to the ground in his heart.
"Is that a share for us?" Leo whispered.
"Shared? Isn't it good to talk about it, it won't be divided for the time being, and it will be kept for filming. Leo, you don't want to kill chickens for eggs, do you? Nicholas was angry when he heard this.
"It's not much, I'll ask for a few thousand dollars first, go and have a good time, I heard that there are a few Russian girls recently, that tastes ......" Leo was slapped down by Nicholas before he could finish speaking.
"Fred, you're on fire. Hehe. The first director's film is like this, and the future is limitless. "Next to that, let. Renoir smiled at Zinaman.
Zinnerman looked shy: "It's all taught by the boss, let's, if you follow him, you will definitely be popular in the United States." ”
Let. Renoir didn't speak, he nodded.
Halfway through the movie, the entire movie theater became a sea of choppy waves. The audience sometimes laughed, sometimes silent, sometimes screamed, and sometimes scolded...... Everyone is immersed in the image, not knowing when or where they are.
On the screen, when the killer Anthony and the old cowboy Moss faced off, some people in the back row of the audience fainted directly holding their chests, and that duel made Hitchcock full of praise: "The scene scheduling is fantastic!" All the suspense is solved inside. But it's so tense! The director is very good! Mr. Zenerman. Very good! ”
When the movie ends with the narration of the old police officer Bale. As the lights of the cinema came on, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
"Good movie!"
"Enjoyable! I haven't seen a better western in so many years! ”
"This is not a western, this is clearly suspense!"
"I love that killer! I love Victor! ”
……
The audience went crazy. A group of people from Legendary Pictures even rushed over and threw Victor into the air!
The faces of the audience rose and fell in front of him, and the lights of the movie theater lit up and down Victor's eyes as he flew into the air, and he was relaxed at the moment, and he really wanted to get a good night's sleep.
The second floor office of the cinema.
Downstairs. The celebratory dinner was underway, and the Hollywood people who had come to the premiere were staggered, and they were getting together in twos and threes. Cooper, Ingrid. Bao, Zenerman and others have become the core of attention. Especially Zinerman, surrounded by a group of directors and the heads of several Hollywood studios, in the laughter, who would have thought that the young director who was reprimanded for nothing before?
Victor stood by the window, looked down, and smiled.
"Mr. Ferro, let's talk." Behind. Passed Adolf. Chuck's voice.
Victor turned and sat down. Look at this dead fat man who walks sideways in Hollywood and no one dares to stop him
There weren't a few people in the room. Nicholas. Zink, as Victor's brain, sat in his chair silently, while Adolf. Next to Chuck sat three serious guys in suits, all of whom seemed to be Paramount's majority shareholder.
"I'm listening. Hehe. Victor sat down and looked at Chuk.
Chuck rubbed his temples, the fat shaking on top of the big round head.
"Do you know what happened to our Paramount?" Adolph. Chuuk Dao.
Victor smiled: "Naturally, it is clear. It has a long history, has abundant funds, has more stars than the stars in the sky, there is no one you can't invite, and there is no movie that you can't make. Hollywood tyrant. ”
Adolph. Chukhar smiled: "So, is Mr. Ferro interested in joining us?" "Joined" sitting next to Nicholas. Zink was taken aback.
"That's right! Join. "Adolf. Chuck patted Nicholas on the shoulder: "Nicholas, we are all old friends, whether we were rivals or friends back then, you are very clear about us Paramount and myself." Let's say the same, I'm definitely not going to be snobbish like that bullshit Hollywood king, I'm straight-tempered and straightforward. ”
"Let's talk about it. How to join? Nicholas winked at Victor.
Chuck sat up, stared at Victor, and said, "Victor, in fact, this decision was already discussed within Paramount when you were filming "This Killer Is Not Too Cold". Although that movie has a bad reputation, it does a good box office, and from a professional point of view, it is indeed a very new and talented movie. At that time, we were debating whether to get you over, but then most of the board of directors thought you were too young, let's see what the situation was next, and as a result, this movie, I'm talking about "No Country for Old Men", let's be absolutely sure that in the future you will definitely become a first-class director, and the future is limitless. ”
"So, we want to invite you to join us." Adolph. Chuck lit a cigar.
"What does the so-called franchise mean?" Nicholas was very familiar with the in the middle of this, and laughed.
Adolph. Chuck: "How much money do you have now?" ”
Nicholas did not say, but looked at Victor.
Victor didn't hide it: "The family background is very simple. We have a small company in Hollywood, with no more than 20 regular employees, and I don't have more than 1 million in money right now. ”
"Miserable, miserable. Victor, with your talents, you can win much more than that! "Adolf. Chuck looked like a merchant and said, "Come to our Paramount!" We can directly pay $10 million to buy your company and all your people! ”
"10 million? That's a lot, isn't it, Nicholas? Victor looked at Nicholas, and the two of them smiled.
"What, aren't you satisfied?" Adolph. Chuck was a little surprised: "Victor, it's 10 million dollars!?" With this money, you can build ten legendary film companies. ”
"It's a lot, but it can't buy us." Victor laughed.
"Arrogance!" Next to Chuck, an old man with his hair soared: "Young man, it's right to be a little sharp, but it's too ignorant to lift, that's arrogance." ”
Victor ignored it.
Chu Ke said: "I know that you have your plans, in this way, after coming over, except for all of you joining Paramount, your company does not have to be canceled, you can become a branch, you are still the person in charge, you can participate in dividends, you have full management of the affairs of the branch, and we can give you all the rights to direct the films shot by the company, the right to select actors and the right to edit." What do you think? ”
Victor was silent. (To be continued......)
