Chapter 107: Shooting the Titanic?
Heart of the Ocean? These words made Victor's heart tremble for no reason.
How can it be so familiar!
"Where did it come from?" Nicholas held the diamond in his palm and admired it greedily.
"I don't know." Victor told the truth.
"Such a good thing, you don't know how it came about? I don't know, how did it end up in your hands!? Do you know where it came from? Nicholas asked.
"The crown from Napoleon......" Before Victor could finish speaking, Nicholas interrupted directly.
"These are all things about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, who knows if it comes from the crown of that dwarf. This heart of the ocean is famous because of that sea wreck! Nicholas's eyes were filled with great affection and sadness.
"Shipwrecked? Could it be ......" Victor had a bolt of light in his head: "Titanic!?" ”
"Hmm." Nicholas nodded: "A big ship that attracted the attention of the whole world at that time, broke in the sea on its first voyage, and more than 1,500 people died, shocking the world!" More than a dozen of my old friends died in that shipwreck, and I, if it weren't for the urgency of delaying it, would have put it on that ship, this diamond, I have seen before. Just the night before the boat departed. ”
"Huh?" Nicholas's words simply made Victor's eyes fall to the ground.
Such a shipwreck is so closely related to the old man next to him.
"I fell in love with a girl who was the daughter of a Wall Street steel magnate, and at the time, even though I was making a lot of noise in the film industry. But for that Iron King. It's not worth mentioning. He prefers that his daughter be handed over to his peers, the second son of the Mellon consortium. This Heart of the Ocean was a gift from the second son to the girl, and I was there at the time. ”
"It must be unpleasant." Looking at Nicholas, Victor was very emotional.
"yes, it's uncomfortable, it's almost a public humiliation. That's why I remember this diamond very well. Because of this, I didn't board the ship, but temporarily canceled the ticket to talk to the British film company about the release of a play. And then. The Titanic embarked on a famous death journey in history! It's a nightmare when you think about it! Nicholas covered his face with his hands, in pain.
"And what about later? I mean, that girl." Victor was curious.
Nicholas looked at the diamond and shook his head: "I also heard about this, when the ship sank, the second son of the Mellon consortium survived, and the reason why he was alive was because he used that girl as a human shield to resist the steel pipe that pierced through......"
"Holy!" Victor was so angry that he burst into a foul mouth.
"That guy didn't end well either. After being rescued, he was drunk. Later, he was shot in a street, and the diamond was missing. Afterward. It came up at an auction, and I went there to auction it, and then, by the way, it seemed that two girls were fighting very hard......"
"Joan. Fontaine and that sister of hers. Victor laughed.
"Oh!" Nicholas was such a smart man that he immediately understood what Victor meant: "You want to use this diamond to completely conquer Joan. Vendôme. ”
"What do you think?" Victor Road.
"With my opinion of Joan. Vendôme's understanding should be very likely. But Victor, isn't it too expensive for you to use such a diamond? Nicholas hesitated.
"Fuck off! This little bastard didn't spend half a dime, what price did he have!? On the couch, Anthony the Fat Bear rolled over.
"There is no price or cost, people are always more valuable than things. What our legendary company lacks most right now is actresses. Victor shoved the diamond into Nicholas's hand: "You run, anyway, Joan. Fontaine was impressed. ”
"Is this appropriate?" Nicholas was a little confused: "What am I going to say?" ”
"You tell your story! The story of this diamond. If such a film can be made, let Joan. What do you think? Will she be tempted? Victor stared at Nicholas.
"Pull it down! You're dead to this heart! Nicholas didn't even think about it, and directly rejected Victor.
"How?"
"When I was still the head of MGM, I wanted to make a movie about Titanic, but it was completely impossible." Nicholas gritted his teeth: "This story is simply impossible to bring to the screen!" Scene up! It is completely impossible to photograph the sentient beings at the time of the sinking of the hegemon of the world's oceans at that time, and to shoot it magnificently and movingly! It's too big! Out of control. ”
"What if you try to shoot it!" Victor frowned.
"Money! You have to have an investment like no other! This is not an ordinary movie, the average big investment simply can't reach the level of a movie, and if this movie is to be made, I think its investment will create a historical record in Hollywood! Nicholas shook his head: "Don't be delusional, this is too difficult!" ”
"People always do things?" Victor smiled, and he patted Nicholas on the shoulder: "No matter what you think, you have a hard trip, go to Joan. Go there and see what she has to say. ”
"Okay. I'll take care of that. But don't think about the Titanic. Nicholas told Victor: "If you want to do this, you will most likely kill our legend." ”
……
Nicholas took the Heart of the Sea. After Victor waited anxiously for a few days, the courtyard of the legendary film company came alive.
Zenerman, Gregory. Pike, Boris and others returned with the crew.
Especially Zinaman, this guy was dark and thin, and he looked like a refugee.
"Boss, we've got the job done! You see! Zenerman patted a truck behind him.
Victor walked to the back of the truck and lifted the canvas, revealing boxes of film in front of him.
The neatly stacked films, boxes and boxes, were silent, but they were so heavy.
Looking at the-like Zenaman in front of him, looking at the bloody Blaures, and the gang of fleeing crews, Victor's nose was sour.
"Boss, please have a meal, after you left, Fred didn't give us meat at all in order to save money!" At this time, Ronald. Reagan's words in the crowd drew laughter.
"Good! Treat yourself tonight, don't get drunk and don't go home! Victor laughed.
"Boss, when I came, I met John in the carriage. Houston, listen to him, many of the films carefully supported by the company this year will be released at the end of July, and our ......" Zenerman leaned over and whispered.
Victor thought for a moment: "Let's leave this matter alone. The current situation is that you are done with this play, and we have to start "The Shawshank Redemption" immediately, so you must complete all the work of your play as soon as possible, including the release, and then, quickly gather people to shoot "The Shawshank Redemption" with the strength of the whole company, and in August, the movie must be launched! ”
"In such a hurry!?" Xeneman almost fell headlong! (To be continued......)
