Downtown Plaza Los Angeles.

Twilight is four, and the lights are on.

It had been raining for a long day, and it finally stopped. The damp air was exceptionally fresh.

The most lively place in Los Angeles is already lit up with neon lights, busy traffic, and bustling with people.

Those who live in the neighborhood and go for a walk may notice that there is something strange around them as they pass by this huge square.

The Los Angeles Cinema, located in the northwest corner of the Grand Plaza, used to be a dim corner after dark, but at this time, dozens of spotlights under the thirty steps at the entrance illuminated the entire movie theater as if it were day, especially the door of the movie theater, although it was not very tall, but the golden lights reflected the door very majestic, and what was more eye-catching was the poster on the front of the movie theater.

Three huge posters with a length of more than ten meters cover almost the entire front of the Grand Theater.

The one in the middle is the factory logo of the legendary film company, with a white background, in the middle of the poster, a long sword is blood-red, and a line of big characters is printed under it: I come, I see, I conquer!

On the left and right, there are posters of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", one featuring Leo played by Pike, and the other featuring Maltida, a little girl played by Monroe, two posters, one black and one red, with a strong contrast.

From the main entrance of the cinema, a red carpet stretches to the avenue, and on both sides of the street, the branches of tall street trees are wrapped in colorful lights, the trunks of which are wrapped in silk ribbons, and waiters in black dresses are lined up.

There were still two hours before the premiere began, but at the moment the door was already crowded.

"Gable! When is Gable coming? ”

"I love Gable! I love Gable! ”

There were many women in the crowd, of all ages and professions, shouting Gable's name, and at first glance they were Clark Gable fans.

There are more men, though.

The men smoked cigarettes or chatted with each other in groups of three or five.

"100,000 dollars! My God! ”

"I'm satisfied that I can draw $10,000."

"It can't be a liar, right?"

"Probably not, the newspaper said that there is a special lawyer to supervise, this matter, it is impossible to deceive people, unless this bullshit company doesn't want to do it."

"I'm more concerned about movies, and I'm going to see what this movie looks like that will make John Wayne debut it?"

"I heard that this legendary film company is a small company, and it has just been established."

"God knows! Just look at it, you can still draw anyway. ”

……

In addition to the general public, there were many media reporters in the crowd. Compared with these people, these reporters are obviously much more honest, and most of them don't care about their surroundings at all, and they are sleepy, what should they do.

Cinema second floor office. The scarlet couch was full of people.

Victor, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, sat in the middle, his face serious. John Ford, Nicholas Sink, Pike, Monroe, and Leo sat on the left and right, and across from him sat Chris Bernarno, the core figure of the Los Angeles mafia.

"It's going to be lively down there." Leo stood up, put his hands in his trouser pockets and dangled to the window, and looked down, happy.

"The situation is good, God willing." Pike and the others also poked their heads out, overjoyed.

Nicholas Zink looked at his watch. This old man has seen countless great worlds in his life, but now he is obviously too nervous.

"Preparation, right? Is Copyla here? The projector has to be checked. What about tickets? Is there someone in charge? By the way, there's also the host ......" John Ford muttered to Anthony, Sean and others.

Only Chris Bernarno, the old guy, sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, looking indifferent and unwanted to sit and watch the clouds rise.

There is less than an hour left. Victor pulled Ford over, "Uncle John, when is Clark arriving?" ”

Clark Gable is obviously the most important character tonight, and people outside are more concerned about seeing the Hollywood actor than "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".

"It should be fine. I'll give him a call later. John Ford was full of confidence: "This kid has always been true to his word, and he will definitely do what he promises." ”

"Someone's coming!" Leo by the window pointed down and shouted, grabbed Victor and ran downstairs.

The invited guests arrived one after another.

The first one to come was Gianny Grant. The mayor of Hollywood gave Victor a bear hug when he saw it.

"Good boy, well done, imposing!" Grant looked at the movie theater and the setting in front of him, and his heart was beaming.

"So-so." Victor laughed.

"If this is so-so, then most of Hollywood's premieres may not be able to get it. Haha" While the two were chatting, Laimer, the owner of Universal Pictures, strode in with a group of people.

As soon as this group of people appeared, they immediately attracted many onlookers from the cameras of reporters.

"Mr. Laimer?" Victor was somewhat surprised by Laimer's appearance.

Although Universal is not as good as MGM and Paramount, it is also the second most senior company in Hollywood, and it is absolutely condescending that Laimer can come to cheer for a little-known kid.

"What, you're not welcome?" Laimer laughed.

"Nature is welcome! haha。 Looking at Laimer's smile, Victor was somewhat moved.

"Come, come, come and meet the genius I told you about." Laimer said behind him.

Behind him, there are naturally people with heads and faces in the global company.

These people, introduced by Lemmer one by one, in addition to the management of Universal Company, there are also some directors and actors.

Among them, there were two people that Victor recognized almost at a glance.

Immediately behind Laimer was a middle-aged man with short facial features and a soft face, whose hair was a little gray before the age of forty, and his back hair was neatly combed, revealing an indescribable European elegance.

William Wheeler. One of the four great directors of the Golden Age of Hollywood, a giant in the history of cinema that cannot be ignored.

Having entered Hollywood in the 1930s, he has now become a popular figure in the region, among the top directors, but like his uncle Lemmer, Wheeler himself is very easy-going, even in the face of young people like Victor. It's also a wandering.

The other one is Lawrence Oliver.

A man of Wheeler's age, a rare genius in the history of cinema who was a director, actor, and producer at the same time, won two Oscars, and was called one of the most respected actors and acting masters of the 20th century.

In 1939, William Wheeler brought the novel "Wuthering Heights" to the screen, and the success of the film not only allowed William Wheeler to firmly establish the status of Hollywood's first-class director, but also pushed Oliver to the throne of Hollywood's first-line male star.

Oliver in front of him was in high spirits and in a good mood.

"Thank you, Mr. Oliver, is Madame alright?" Victor Road.

These words immediately made the surrounding people coax.

"Good, good, thank you for your concern." Lawrence Oliver laughed even more when he heard this.

When it comes to Oliver and his current wife, there is a wonderful story in between, and his current wife is definitely much more famous in Hollywood than Oliver.
