Chapter 19 Company Registration
Victor understood Nicholas Zink's anger.
Actually, if I had been myself, I would have let the dog shoot a long time ago.
Although Nicholas Zink is now poor, he is also a former Hollywood figure, one of the former heads of MGM, a penniless young boy ran over to get himself out of the mountain, and he didn't even have a film company, Nicholas Zink was so famous and famous, in his opinion, he was definitely made fun of.
John Ford hurriedly said: "Nicholas, you calm down first, Victor is indeed not an ordinary person. This kid is a genius. ”
Nicholas: "Don't mention any genius to me, I can't even look down on 20th Century Fox, and what bullshit legendary film company!" Get out of here! ”
Seeing that if this continued, not only would it be unlikely that he would invite the old man out of the mountain, but it would make the relationship stiff, so he got up and said with a smile: "Mr. Zink, do you know who the person I admire the most in Hollywood?" ”
"This has nothing to do with me!" Nicholas Zinke.
"There are two people I admire the most, the first is David Griffith. Mr. Griffith is not only the founder of Hollywood, but also the founder of film art, his pursuit of film, his ideal of film, is the benchmark for me to do things. It's a pity that Hollywood has abandoned this master, and today's Hollywood, as you know, has completely become a place of miasma, art, where there is almost no place to live. Mr. Zink, I want to make good films, those touching and really meaningful films, and I want to build a film company that is purely glorious and dreamy. ”
"The second person I admire the most is Mr. Marskolov, who is a projectionist, but he single-handedly created the great MGM, this company has produced a series of great works in the last few decades, especially 20 years ago, but now, MGM is not the MGM of the past, although it is growing, but the movies that are made are mostly luxurious bubbles."
"Mr. Zink, I don't have any strength right now, I don't have any money or no one, but I have ideals. I think everyone has ideals, and you have them. Griffith said that the greatest thing about cinema is that it can show people a bright path, and I think we should all work in this direction, try to create our own creations, and sweep away the miasma on the road. ”
Victor's words were so sincere that John Ford and Nicholas Zink were a little silent.
Victor took out the script of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" from his arms and put it on the table: "This is a new script I wrote, I am going to shoot it as much as possible, if I can, please ask Mr. Zink to give more guidance, after all, you are a senior." Please also consider inviting you to be the general manager of Legendary Pictures, and I am waiting for your reply. ”
With that, Victor nodded to John Ford and the others, and everyone went out.
On the way back, John Ford complained directly to Victor.
"I told you earlier, I'll do this, Nicholas is not an ordinary person, look at it, what is the result......" John Ford shook his head.
"I don't think this old man is doing anything." Pike seems to have a bad impression of Nicholas Zink.
"What are you going to do if Nicholas doesn't help?" John Ford turned his face to Victor.
Victor laughed: "I don't want him to help." ”
John Ford gave Victor a blank look: "You just dream." By the way, do you want to register a film company tomorrow? ”
"Of course." Victor withdrew his gaze from the window and said, "What are the procedures for registering a film company?" ”
John Ford couldn't be happier: "You want to register a company, and you don't even know the procedure?" ”
Victor shrugged.
Back at Grape Hill, everyone but Victor is a little discouraged, especially John Ford.
"Uncle John, if Nicholas doesn't come, will you still give your three hundred thousand dollars?" Victor Road.
John Ford waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with Nicholas, and for the sake of this movie, I'm going to do the same." Victor, I have a hunch that this film will be an immortal film. ”
"Then wait and see." Victor Road.
After dinner, John Ford couldn't help but call Nicholas Zink.
"How?" Pike asked.
John Ford shook his head: "This son of a bitch doesn't know how, and she didn't say much. ”
"Didn't you say anything about him coming to our side?" Pike was taken aback.
John Ford said: "Basically, I didn't talk about it, but I talked a lot about the past 20 years ago. It was a pleasure to talk. ”
"Victor, we'll see you tomorrow at City Hall." John Ford saw that it was not too early and got up to take his leave.
Nothing was said all night. The next day, Victor woke up early in the morning.
This day was an important day for Victor, so he deliberately changed into a suit, and several other people, Leo, Pike, and Anthony, were also carefully dressed up and dressed very solemnly.
Hollywood, located in the northwest corner of downtown Los Angeles, has about 300,000 residents, which is already the size of a small city, but with the development of the film industry, the film industry is not limited to one place in Hollywood, and other places like Burbank have become satellite towns. As part of Los Angeles, Hollywood does not have its own formal municipal department, only a designated official to serve as the so-called "honorary mayor", and set up a small office, commonly known as "City Hall", which has no executive power, but only symbolic function, for some celebrations or as a mediator for Hollywood's daily affairs.
But despite this, City Hall still plays a big role in everyday things for Hollywood.
By the time a few people took a taxi to the front of City Hall, John Ford had been waiting there for a long time. This guy took off his denim suit in a rare way, changed into a suit, and even shaved his beard again.
"Today is a good day." John Ford looked up at the sky and smiled.
A group of people entered the town hall and, led by John Ford, began the process.
Victor didn't understand any of these things, and completely let them go to John Ford.
But when it was done, Victor was very surprised.
I can't believe that it is so easy to register a film company in Hollywood these days - first, you have to pay a processing fee, which is about 2,000 dollars, and then, you need some bullshit documents such as identification, and then you need to sign it, stamp it, and you're done!
"Legendary Films", looking at the document in his hand, Victor felt like a dream.
Such a big thing, such an important thing, in less than ten minutes, it was done?
"John? Haha, how did you end up here? As Victor was about to talk to John Ford about what was going to happen next, a high-pitched voice came from behind.
Turning his face, Victor saw a group of people walking towards him, and among them, a beautiful figure made Victor's heart tremble.
Meet again.
