Caprachi, one of the most famous film masters in Hollywood history, and in 40 years, one of the four leading directors, is able to write such praise, which is really rare.

But there's still to come.

And then there was Chaplin. This citizen of the British Empire is still always emphasizing, morally criticizing Victor, saying that Victor's film is suspected of applauding the killer's turnover, but his old tunes are not very lethal.

Hitchcock's article came as a bit of a surprise to Victor.

"As a young director, Fred . . . It is not easy for Zinnerman to be able to make the film so tightly paced and tense. Hollywood has never lacked good stories, but what is lacking is the ability to tell stories. Movies are very much storytelling, and this is even more true in Hollywood. Zenerman's shots and structure, with its natural German mysticism and French humor, combined with the unique American culture of the West, make the whole film stand out. ”

"No Country for Old Man made me see a master storyteller, which made me feel refreshed. If Hollywood could have more directors like this, more storytellers like this, I don't think I would be so lonely. ”

It is interesting to note that although Hitchcock liked "No Country for Old Men" very much, he praised Zenerman from beginning to end, and as for Victor, he didn't mention it. This made Zinnerman look at Victor and be embarrassed.

"It's really not easy to give our suspense master a thumbs up." Victor was unimpressed.

Another director, William. Wheeler analyzes the whole picture from the style of the image: "Starting with "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", Victor. Ferro brings us a different perspective. In "No Country for Old Men". Whether it's in the structure of the story, the characterization or the editing, especially in the final recreated image style. It's all more and more surprising. Watch his films. Looking at the contemporaneous films produced by our Hollywood, it is easy to have a feeling: our films are so fake, so pale. ”

"The power of an image lies in its authenticity and emotion. Although the cinematic shot is filmed, it must involve the audience and create a sense of substitution. I wonder if it's time to reconsider and improve the series of storytelling patterns that Hollywood has built up over the years, including the filming techniques. Times are advancing. As a recorder of the times, all techniques and styles of movies must be ahead of the times. The old model can no longer attract audiences, and it will restrict the development of film art! And "No Country for Old Men" clearly provides us with a window. ”

William. Wheeler's comments are obviously more ambitious and thoughtful, which is admirable.

Next, Xixi. Dimir, Liu Beiqian, Gianni. Grant and other celebrities, as well as Cragg. Gable, Gary. Big stars such as Grant and Vivien Leigh, as well as many film critics, have expressed their views on "No Country for Old Men" in articles or interviews.

Overall, compared with the one-sided criticism of "This Killer is Not Too Cold", "No Country for Old Men" has received a lot of praise in public opinion.

Both applauded. Also called, to describe this movie in this sentence. It is more suitable than that.

Victor threw down the newspaper and looked up at Leo: "Leo, I'll give you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Leo tensed.

"You take someone to Sam. Warners, with the contract, went to a Los Angeles City government notary, but checked their box office. Victor said.

"You suspect this guy of hiding from the box office?" Leo suddenly understood.

"This kind of thing, Sam. Warner can do it. We don't want to take advantage of others, but we can't suffer either. By the way, Nicholas, you also keep an eye on this matter, and after the final box office statistics are completed, divide the money with them, and collect their cinema according to the contract we signed before! Have you chosen all the movie theaters? Victor said to Nicholas.

Nicholas seemed to have wanted to mention things for a long time, and Hulala laid out a map in front of Victor: "Yesterday I marked all the first-class movie theaters under Warner Bros. Pictures, and now, we have two more choices. The first is that all the money earned this time is to buy their first-class theater chain in California, and the second is to spread out and buy them all over the country. ”

Victor looked at the dense red dots on it: "Is there any difference between the two methods?" ”

"There is a difference, naturally." Nicholas laughed: "We have only one movie theater on hand now, and if we buy all of them in California, then California will form our collective effect, and California is close to Hollywood, and it is also influential." However, we have no influence elsewhere. If you buy it all over the country and bloom everywhere, it's good, but it's scattered, the influence is small, and it's not convenient to manage. ”

Everyone looked up at Victor. Victor asked everyone to think about it, and as a result, a group of people argued, some suggested that all of them be bought in California, and some suggested that the whole country should be liberalized.

In the end, it was Victor who made the decision: "I don't buy them all in California, nor do I disperse them all over the country." Half in California, and the other half in big cities like New York, Washington, D.C., and so on. Even if we are popular at the box office this time, there will not be many theaters we have bought, we have to eat one bite at a time, we have to go step by step, and we have to make the most of our limited resources. California must be well controlled, but the big cities must also be penetrated, and the establishment of movie theaters in these places is of course to show our films and expand our influence, but on the other hand, you must not forget that these movie theaters are like our tentacles, stretching out to the whole country, from here, we can get intelligence, information, and even collect people. You can't make movies behind closed doors. Got it? ”

The crowd was convinced by Victor's statement that the head was the way.

"Leo, if these movie theaters are handed over to you to manage, will you be sure?" Victor's cold words.

Leo was looking at the map and was stunned, and nodded subconsciously: "Okay...... Yes!? What the? Leave it to me? ”

"Yes." Victor smiled: "We are getting bigger little by little, and a series of processes such as filming, distribution, and screening have to be scientifically managed. Therefore, I plan to set up a legendary cinema company and fully manage all its cinemas in the future, and this position is none other than you. ”

"That's a big fat gap." Gregory Pike and the others looked at Leo in unison.

"Okay, I'll do it!" Leo and Victor are not at all polite. Communication is his strength, and this guy doesn't look at his appearance, but he is as careful as a hair, and the future theater will be handed over to Leo, Victor can rest assured.

"Then congratulations, Manager Leo." Victor patted Leo.

Everyone laughed.

The legendary cinema company was established. (To be continued......)
