Chapter 97: Dig a pit for Orson Welles
Orsson. Although Wells and Victor hadn't met a few times, they hit it off at first sight and were completely good friends who were puffing out of their nostrils.
After a moment of muttering, Victor took Orson . Wells pushed away.
"Absolutely impossible. Orsson, you know, I like to dig into other people's corners, but what I hate the most is when people dig into my corners. Victor said in principle.
Ao Xun looked bitter: "Didn't I ask you for help?" You know, it's my first time directing, and this film is very important to me, and let me tell you this, I almost drained all my passion and talent into it. I'm a perfectionist, and I either don't do it, or I want to do my best. Monroe I like it very much, you borrow it from me, can you? ”
Nicholas. When Zink heard this, he laughed to death.
"Come on, I don't know about this conspiracy? I've always done this, borrowing and using it, then cultivating feelings, and then poaching it. Victor said.
"Pull it down, you think I'm you, I'll borrow it, and I'll pay you back when I'm done." Oxon Road.
"Fuck off, damn, why do I feel so awkward when I hear that." Victor scolded.
"No discussion?" Oxon Road.
Victor thought for a moment and said, "First of all, I'll get Monroe's opinion first......
"Come on, I inquired before I came, whether Monroe is going or not is completely a matter of your words, and that little girl is obedient to you." Orson said slyly.
Victor's head was big: "Well, it's okay to let her go to exercise, but." I have a request. “
"You say. If only I could do it. I absolutely say yes! "Orson. Wells laughed.
"That's what you said, don't regret it." A wicked smile appeared on Victor's face.
This smile made Oxon a little frightened.
"I won't bully you either, in this way, after you finish filming "Citizen Kane", can you come to Legend to direct a movie for me?" Victor squinted at Orson. Wells.
"Damn, you don't want to dig me, do you?" Orsson. Wells was extremely clever and saw through Victor's machinations at once.
Victor smiled: "How dare I dig you." Guru. Besides, you are now a free body, have you signed a contract with Lei Dianhua, I am not digging, as long as you are willing, Legendary Pictures is welcome at any time. “
"It's not a big problem for you to ask me to direct a movie for you, but Victor, I'm very stubborn in what I do, and I have to make movies I like." Orsson. Wells spread his hands: "For the past two years, my entire mind has been on 'Citizen Kane'. I didn't make any other movies at all, let alone write scripts......"
Victor stood up in a hurry. Hold your head high: "Aosun, the person standing in front of you is a cow who won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay, are you still afraid that there will be no script?" ”
Orson almost died of laughter: "Really? A cow man who no one wants to go up to give awards? ”
"Don't make me sad like that, won't you?" Victor put his arm around Orsun: "I think we can work together, I will definitely write a script that satisfies you, how about it?" ”
"Okay, I'd like to see what you can write out."
"That's it!"
"It's a deal."
"Leo! Where is the death! Call Mary in for me. Victor said loudly.
……
"I'm not going! I'm not going anywhere! In the tent, Monroe, who was wearing a white dress, almost scratched Victor to death after hearing Victor's words: "What do you think of me!?" Commodities that can be bought and sold casually? ”
"Hey, my little princess! Mary, how could I! I just wanted you to get a workout. Come to think of it, you're only a teenager now, you lack all kinds of experience, and my goal is to make you the hottest star in Hollywood, and then our legendary film company will be a cow! Victor laughed.
"If I'm popular, won't I be able to help you better?" Monroe thought for a moment.
"It's a drop! Totally dripping! Victor nodded.
Monroe stood up and clapped her hands: "Cheng, then I will agree." ”
"Huh?" Victor couldn't accept Monroe's 180-degree change at once.
"I said yes. As long as I can help you, I am willing to do anything. Monroe sat on Victor's lap and said, "However, I have one condition!" ”
"You say."
"It's two!" Monroe pursed her lips and said, "First, you have to call me every day!" ”
"That's fine."
"Second, you are not allowed to fool around with Bergman!"
"The Virgin Mary! Mary, you are too young to say such a thing. When did I mess with Bergman? I respect her very much, I just treat her as a friend, did I tell you earlier? "Victor couldn't be more wronged.
"Then I don't care." Monroe stood up: "I'll go to Leo and ask him to arrange it for me." ”
Then, this little girl pretended to be pitiful: "My dear, I'm going to face the sinister society alone, if I can't come back, don't marry someone else, be a single for the rest of your life, okay?" ”
"Get out of here!" Victor was made big by her.
……
Sam. Warner, John. Ford, Orsson. The three Wells went back after only two days on the set. For Victor, both sides rejoiced.
The next shooting, although it was a toss-up, was quite orderly.
Especially Jali. Cooper and Victor, two people, one evolutionary killer and the other playing an old cowboy, have a lot of rivalry scenes. Cooper is simply an explosion of acting, the two stimulate each other and complement each other, and the superb acting skills make John . Everyone including Wayne was hooked.
The entire crew was completely enveloped in a passionate atmosphere.
At this time, some news also came intermittently from Hollywood.
"During our absence, Hollywood was very lively." That night, Nicholas. When Zink and Victor were drinking, they accidentally mentioned it.
"Oh, what's going on?" Victor Road.
During this time, Victor was fully engaged in the film and didn't ask anything else at all.
"It's not because of the war." Nicholas Road.
War. Victor naturally understood that in 1941, World War II was already in full swing, Europe, Hitler's Germany was on a rampage, Asia, and little Japan had invaded China for many years.
"I heard that a large number of European moviegoers have recently poured into Hollywood to eat." Nicholas said in a low voice: "I heard that the major Hollywood studios are now recruiting people. “
"Oh!" Victor came to his senses all at once.
World War II was definitely not a good thing for mankind. But there are often good and bad sides to things.
The art of film, which was born in the United States and Europe at about the same time, formed two major birthplaces and two completely different styles.
Hollywood took the road of complete commercialization, and finally formed an assembly-line operation with a clear division of labor, although it promoted the American spirit, but paid more attention to the box office, and in terms of storytelling, no country can beat Hollywood.
Europe is different. The humanistic heritage behind him and the innate sensitivity of Europeans and their pursuit of art and thinking about life are more humanistic all day long, which is in obvious contrast with Hollywood.
Two styles, nothing good or bad, equally wonderful.
Since the 1910s, there has been little or no communication between Europe and Hollywood, and it has been extremely close. Many European directors and actors will come to Hollywood to develop, and Hollywood people will also go to Europe, and this kind of integration is normal.
However, historically, the outbreak of World War II gave a huge boost to Hollywood's development to a certain extent. Because of the war, many European filmmakers went to the United States, and the number was unimaginable before.
"Who are the who's here?" Victor was in a mood.
Legendary Films lacks everything now, and what it lacks most is people.
Count them, and the official centaur can do it with ten fingers. If you want to make a big business, you can't do it without hiring.
"There are everyone, directors, screenwriters, photographers, actors...... Wave after wave! Nicholas laughed: "There are many powerful people among them. ”
Victor nodded: "Nicholas, in this way, you hurry back to Hollywood!" ”
"Huh!? I'm going back? Do you have a fever? When I go back, who will do the cinematography of the movie? "Nicholas was baffled. (To be continued......)
