Chapter 21: The Bosses' Mockery

Seeing Ingrid Bergman and Victor shaking hands and laughing happily at each other surprised Hollywood Mayor Jenny Grant and others.

"It's rare to see Miss Bergman smile so brightly. Hehe. Adolf Chuck bared his big yellow teeth and said to John Ford, "John, this is ......."

John Ford patted his head: "Forget about this, everyone, allow me to solemnly introduce to you this young man, Victor Ferro, a promising screenwriter!" ”

The gang of bigwigs led by Adolf Chuck have read countless people, and what big stars and directors are simply floating clouds in their eyes, let alone screenwriters.

However, Laimer seemed a little interested, and said: "I have known John for so many years, and I think I have never heard him praise a person as a genius." Mr. Fellro, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"Mr. Laimer has won the award, and I am a little back." Victor's self-humility pleased Laimer.

However, Victor's next words made the gangsters look complicated.

Victor said: "But Uncle John didn't say a word just now, I'm now the boss of Legendary Films. ”

"Legendary Films?" Adolf Chuck looked at Grant: "Do we have such a film company in Hollywood?" ”

As the mayor of Hollywood, Grant was most familiar with the situation in Hollywood and shook his head blankly.

"Yes, the studio was born twenty minutes ago." Victor shook the document in his hand.

"Oh." Adolf Chuck could see at a glance who he was, although he didn't say it, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Sam Warner is a straight man and said with a smile: "There are not dozens of new film companies established in Hollywood every year, but there are hundreds, and there are not many who can stay." ”

Laimer, however, was very happy and said, "This is a good thing. Young people have to struggle, and when we first started, wasn't it the same? People, as long as you have dreams, as long as you work hard, there will always be gains. Mr. Ferro, we at Universal look forward to working with your legend one day. ”

Laimer made a good impression on Victor.

"Let's take a look first." Adolf Chuck laughed, "If Mr. Ferro can still be in this capacity next year." ”

"Mr. Ferro, I really admire you." Ingrid Bergman smiles brightly.

"How do you say that?" Victor Road.

Bergman said: "I came from Sweden, and the biggest feeling in the past few years is that Hollywood is a quagmire, no one to help, no one to support, and it is basically impossible to find a way out of your own." I admire the courage of being able to start a film company. ”

β€œhahahaha。 Miss Bergman has won the award, I like your performance very much, and I hope that there will be a day of cooperation in the future. What Victor said was not a joke at all.

"Mr. Ferro, do you know how much Miss Bergman is now paying for a movie?" Adolf Chuck was about to laugh.

Bergman can only be regarded as a second-rate actor with a new reputation in Hollywood at the moment, and compared with female stars such as Bikefu and Garbo, it is still much worse, but judging from her relationship with Adolf Chuck, it seems that Paramount has begun to support the future first lady of Hollywood.

"Mr. Fellro, this joke must not be messed with." Sam Warner laughed.

Everyone laughed.

The laughter was filled with a normal-sounding but uncomfortable laugh.

Bergman didn't laugh. The elf-like woman said to Victor, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ferro, and I hope for such a day." ”

"Ingrid, it's not too early, let's go to the company and talk about the cooperation of the next movie." Adolf Chuck yawned.

β€œhaode。” Ingrid Bergman smiled at Victor and followed Adolf Chuck out the door.

Then Sam Warner and the others left.

"Gianni, what's going on?" John Ford grabbed Grant and pointed to the gang of bigwigs outside the door.

Hollywood Mayor Jenny Grant smiled wryly: "What else can there be, it's just intrigue." This year's film market is very competitive, and as you know, as far as I know, there are more than a dozen productions this year, and in addition, major film companies have launched flagship films, and the next Oscars will be lively. So these guys want to join forces, at least, they can support each other, make a lot of money, not to mention, they can also give the opponent the biggest blow, I said the opponent, you know, right? β€œ

"Understood." John Ford knows it all.

Victor, of course, understands. Paramount's biggest opponent is MGM, and when Paramount, Warner Bros., and Universal unite, the spearhead must be Louis Meyer's MGM.

Of course, MGM is not a bare-bones commander, and the surrounding Columbia, United States, etc. are also a bunch of younger brothers.

In Hollywood, among the eight major film companies, there has never been any fixed friends and enemies, because of interests, any friend can become an enemy, and any enemy can become a friend.

It's just normal.

However, for Victor, these between the eight major film companies has nothing to do with him, or has nothing to do with his legendary film company.

His legendary film company is now a typical leather bag company, not to mention the eight major film companies, and even the most third-rate film companies in Hollywood have no reason to look down on them.

In Hollywood, strength is always the truth, and if you want not to be looked down upon, you have to make achievements step by step.

Victor, have this confidence.

John Ford led Victor into Gianny Grant's office.

Grant is a man with a good temper and a typical good old man.

John Ford's intention is very clear, that is, he wants Victor and Grant to get acquainted, although Grant has no power at all, but he has friendships with major film companies, he is a Hollywood jack-of-all-trades, and befriending him has all the benefits and no harm.

"Victor, the courage to set up a film company is commendable, but I remind you that courage alone is not enough in Hollywood, over the years, I have seen too many film companies become a thing of the past, not to mention small companies, even the first national film company, Vitaigrave and other former top film companies such as Zuihou are not in the dust."

"Victor, if you want to survive and grow, there is only one way, and that is to keep making good movies. That's the way to go. ”

Grant completely treats Victor as one of his juniors, and he is destined to face it.

"I understand that, Mr. Grant." Victor was very grateful and said, "I think I will start working on my first film right away, and when the time comes, please support me." ”

"Preparing for your first movie soon?" Grant was surprised and intrigued, looked at John Ford and said, "Really? ”

John Ford nodded and said, "Jenny, we've been dating for so many years, do you think I'm going to be wrong?" This kid has a set, you just wait and see. ”

"Victor, if you may, can you let me hear about your movie?" Grant stared at Victor with a smile on his face.
