Chapter 44: Preparing for the Premiere
Jali Cooper rubbed his hair anxiously and looked at Victor pitifully: "Mr. Ferro, how could I possibly give up this role to Henry Fonda!" I didn't get kicked in the head by a donkey! ”
Victor Hahadaxiao said, "Mr. Cooper, you are wrong in the suit and leather shoes that day. This movie is made for you, and if you were wearing a denim outfit that day, or just an old military uniform, I'm sure Sam Warner would have taken a fancy to you. Rough and uninhibited, it is your strength, suits and leather shoes, is Henry Fonda's strength, you abandoned your strengths in front of Sam Warner, and compared your shortcomings with others, what do you say? ”
"My God!" Cooper slapped himself on the head: "Yes! That's true! I'm fucking stupid! ”
Looking at Cooper like that, Victor was happy.
This guy has a straight personality and is a good person.
"Mr. Cooper, you don't have to worry, although Sam Warner wants to use Henry Fonda, but it has not yet been decided, then it means that there is a chance, my opinion is that from tomorrow onwards, you will find the old military uniform in the movie, wear it and dangle in front of Sam Warner, two days if it doesn't work, three days if it doesn't work for two days, I dare to guarantee that Zuihou Sam Warner will definitely be taken down by you."
"Really?" Cooper thought it was a bit funny.
John Ford said, "You listen to him, yes, besides, how do you know if you don't try?" ”
"Done! I just let it go, who made me like that character. Mr. Ferro, Xiexie you. Cooper thought about it, and thought it was good.
Next, the four of them raised their glasses frequently.
While Jali Cooper is now preoccupied with his character, Clark Gable is a little interested in Victor's films, and talks to John Ford and Victor.
For Gable as a person, Victor really admires it more and more.
In the movie, Gable is always as handsome and suave as Rhett in "Gone with the Wind", but in real life, Gable is very approachable and gentlemanly.
"The movie that John likes, I can guarantee that it won't be a bad movie. Hehe. I'll definitely go and see it if I have the chance, Mr. Ferro. Gable smiled brightly.
"Okay, Mr. Gable, Mr. Cooper, can you both come and enjoy the premiere of this movie?" Victor officially extended invitations to the two men.
The premiere of his own movie, if these two people appear, especially a movie emperor like Gable, such a Hollywood number one male star can appear, it will definitely attract widespread attention from society.
Jali Cooper Hahadaxiao: "Victor, you're really going to pay attention, you know, Gable never attends such an occasion, he doesn't even bother to attend the premiere of his own movie......
"I know. I know. Victor said, "And now we are not happy with Meyer, if you think it is not appropriate, do not force it." ”
Gable shook his head, "I would never change myself based on anyone's opinion. Mr. Fellro, I can feel that you are a very pure person about cinema, and on the day of the premiere, I will definitely go to it. ”
"Great!" Victor was overjoyed!
At this meal, the four of them ate happily and left each other's business cards, and Gable and Cooper got up to leave.
"You kid, pull Gable to beat ten stars." Ford couldn't be happier.
Back in the hall, the group of people outside was already drunk.
After the celebration, the group drove back to Grape Hill, and in the living room, Ford made coffee and everyone began to talk about business.
"The finishing is the finale, and the next thing is even more troublesome." Victor cocked his forehead, a little headache.
He is not afraid of making movies, but he can't handle these messy things in the back.
"About the theater, I'll talk to Bernano tomorrow, although that guy is a mafia, he has always been a good talker, and it should be fine." Nicholas put down his coffee and said, "The important thing at the moment is to print and edit." ”
"Don't worry about the print, I can take the film back and get it." Ford has already been contracted.
"Pay attention to confidentiality and security. If we lose it, we're done. Victor admonished.
"Don't worry. Absolutely. Ford said.
"I'll go with you, I'll keep an eye on it twenty-four hours a day." Leo Tract.
Victor nodded. With Leo here, there will be no problems.
"Uncle John, there's something I have to discuss with you, and from tomorrow onwards, I won't live in your Grape Lodge." Victor Road.
Ford suddenly got angry: "What!? Uncomfortable staying with me? Or is it that you find it inconvenient!? Don't do this with me, Victor, I treat you like my own son. ”
"No, that's not what I meant." Victor smiled bitterly: "Uncle John, I know your kindness. I have my own plans. First, Legendary Pictures has been established, although it is small, but my business, now that Baggins has cleaned and renovated the company, it is time to officially move in. Second, the film needed to be edited, and I didn't want to be outside, the editing room in the company was completely usable, so I edited inside. ”
"I think it's good. I moved out too. Nicholas said.
Everyone meant that, and John Ford was embarrassed to say anything.
"Tomorrow, Nicholas will go to the theater to settle the matter, Leo and Uncle John will be in charge of the printing, and after the processing is completed, the film will be moved back to the company and the editing will begin, and it will be edited for a week, and then the final editing will be completed, and then the copy, on October 10th, it will be released!" Victor claps the nail on the head.
"A week to finish editing, Victor, too fast, right? Hollywood movies take a month or two no matter what. John Ford said.
Nicholas laughed: "Every scene of this movie is already in Victor's head, and he edited it very quickly. And, in this way, we will be able to fight for an early release and we can leave all the other films behind. ”
"No, I'll wait for them." Victor had a mysterious smile on his face: "Grant told me that several of their movies were selected on October 11th, hehe, I just want to crash into them a day in advance." ”
"It's asking for help." John Ford laughed, "But I like it!" ”
"Anthony, did you do what I asked you to do last time?" Victor Road.
Anthony the Fat Bear bit on the cheese: "It's done early, don't worry." ”
"Good! On the day of the premiere, I had to turn the whole of Los Angeles upside down! Victor's eyes narrowed.
These words, this expression, made the other group of people look at each other.
