Chapter 38: Bad news
For film companies, before and during the filming of the movie, the content of the script is always confidential and cannot be divulged half a word.
If it were someone else, Victor would have laughed it off.
But, in the face of Ingrid? Bergman, Victor can't do it.
In front of this woman, few people will refuse.
Victor took a deep breath and recounted the brief plot of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".
Bergman listened attentively, and Zuihou leaned forward, deeply immersed in the story, Zuihou's eyes moistened, and he almost burst into tears.
"Mr. Fellro, this is the most beautiful story I've ever heard in Hollywood! This story is fresh, warm, and more importantly, in today's noisy and dark Hollywood, it is like a white flower! Bergman admired from the bottom of his heart, and then said, "It's a pity." ”
"What a pity?" Victor said seriously.
Bergman took a deep breath: "It's a pity that I can't be a teenager younger, otherwise, the role of the little girl in it will be mine." ”
Victor Hahadaxiao: "There will be opportunities in the future, and I am still looking forward to the day when I will work with Miss Bergman." ”
Bergman: "I think so." Mr. Fellro, can I make a non-cent request? ”
"Non-centrific?" Victor glanced Bergman up and down.
Bergman's face flushed with shame, and he hurriedly explained: "I mean, can I book the heroine of your next movie?" ”
"Hahahaha, I can't ask for it, if Miss Bergman has helped, our legendary film company will definitely be able to create a legend!" Victor's heart was overjoyed.
Bergman shook his head: "I did this not for your company, nor for anyone, but for you." I think there are almost very few pure directors like you in Hollywood. So Mr. Ferro, please hold on! ”
"Of course I know that." Victor stood up and wanted Bergman to stretch out his hand: "Miss Bergman, it's an honor to talk to you so much today, and if you have the opportunity in the future, the door of the legend will always be open to you." ”
"Thank you!" Bergman laughed.
Bergman sends Victor out.
The weather was nice and the breeze was cool.
At the gate, Bergman sent Victor to the car, and then stretched out his slender hand: "Mr. Ferro, please don't forget today's agreement." ”
"I won't forget." Victor waved at Bergman and rolled up the window.
Los Angeles Crew Residency. When Victor returned to the hall, he found Nicholas? Zink and the others had not yet rested, sitting there, smoking cigarettes one by one, as if they had something on their minds.
"What's wrong guys?" Victor laughed.
"Can you still laugh?" Leo saw that Victor was laughing so heartlessly, and he was a little angry.
"What's going on?" Victor felt that something seemed to be wrong at the moment.
Leo said: "Both things, both are bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”
"Since it's a bad thing, it doesn't matter, it's both." Victor spoke in a nonchalant tone.
Leo said: "The first thing, Nicholas just received the news that more than 30 movie theaters that he had worked so hard to talk about called almost at the same time, saying that they would not screen "This Killer Is Not Too Cold"."
"What?" Leo's words made Victor jump!
No screening!? How can it be.
You know, for film companies, especially when they want to shoot big productions, screening is the top priority.
No matter how haode the movie is, if you don't meet the audience and don't let the audience see it, it's a fart.
Legendary Film Company is now a small company, and it is the lowest small company in Hollywood, and it cannot be compared with companies like Paramount and MGM, to put it bluntly, the current movie directly determines the life and death of Legendary Film Company, and what determines the fate of this movie is obviously the screening.
Legendary Pictures can't compare to MGM, and even a company like Luen Mei can't compare. These large companies produce movies, often thousands of movie theaters under their lines, and large companies will also cooperate with each other, such screenings, even if the quality of a movie is not high, zuihou can also make a lot of money. And Victor's film, if there are dozens of theaters willing to show it, it is already very good!
At least, these dozens of cinema screenings have been able to form enough momentum, and if word of mouth is good, then there will definitely be many movie theaters to contact you in the future.
However, if these dozens of theaters are unwilling to show it, it is obviously equivalent to directly sentencing this movie to death and sentencing the legendary film company to death!
This is the last thing Victor wants to see!
"Nicholas, is there a mistake!? Didn't you already say that you had it done before, you said that these people are all your friends, and many of them are former subordinates, and they will sell you this face, and it is at the best cooperation price, but now why did you suddenly change your mind? ”
Facing Victor's question, Nicholas let out a long sigh: "Can't you think of who this kind of thing is?" ”
After saying that, Nicholas waved his fist viciously: "The next time Lao Tzu meets him, he will definitely not let him have any chance of survival!" ”
It seems, Louis? Meyer was really hands-on.
This old man really made Victor look down on him a little.
Men, no matter what contradictions there are between them, they don't need to be so indiscriminate, it's a big deal, it's a real thing, just die.
But Meyer did quite too much this time, and it was not at all his status as the king of Hollywood.
"Mr. Meyer is so uplifting to me." Victor smiled wryly.
Nicholas shrugged his shoulders: "Dear Victor, blame me for this, if I didn't beat that bitch to raise it, it wouldn't be like this." ”
"Don't say that, I'll have a share in beating him." Victor rubbed his temples and said bitterly: "It's understandable to think about it, those theater bosses are all Meyer's subordinates, how could they help such a broken friend against their boss's wishes?" ”
"So what now? Fuck, you won't just wait to die!? We've made so many movies! Leo said aggrievedly.
"This matter will be discussed when John comes. The second thing you said, what's going on? Victor said.
Leo rolled his eyes and said very directly: "As an assistant director and as a production director, I want to tell you, Victor, our crew has no money on hand now!" ”
########
