Chapter 106: A director who doesn't know how to score music is not a good actor

Monet thought that Marceau would refute Scarlett, but she said after being silent for a while: "Maybe it's true that I'm thinking less, so bother Mr. Monet, let's see you next time!" With that, he took the people and left.

Although Monet didn't know why Marceau left, he still said gratefully to Scarlett: "Thank you, Scarlett, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with these people!" ”

"Actually, what I just said is true, I think the boss is a great idea, when I save enough money, I will really open a photo studio like this!" Scarlett replied seriously.

"Tell me when the time comes, and I'll give you a share!" Monet agreed.

Just as the two were chatting happily, Catherine came in and reported, "Editor-in-chief, Miss Ruth is here!" ”

"Come in, come in!" Monet commanded repeatedly.

Two minutes later, Monet saw a refreshed Ruth and quipped, "Aren't you busy making movies, why do you have time to come to me?" ”

"Isn't this a movie coming out, I'm going to give you and Nicole movie tickets!" As she spoke, Ruth took out a few movie tickets and handed them over.

"That's all Nicole and I do." Monet excused.

And Ruth teased: "Don't think I don't know, your woman is more than Nicole!" ”

Seeing Monet's somewhat embarrassed expression, Ruth changed the topic and said: "This movie has a big highlight, the soundtrack is written by Charlie himself!" ”

Some friends may have a misunderstanding of silent movies, that is, it is like watching pantomime, everyone watches it quietly in a dark room, but in fact it is not the case, although limited by technology, there is no sound track in the silent movie, but there is actually a soundtrack when the movie is played, but in most cases this soundtrack does not match the rhythm and plot of the film very well, after all, it is not made for the sake of the movie.

But there are exceptions, such as Chaplin's film soundtracks are in line with the storyline and rhythm, because these soundtracks are basically written by Chaplin himself, it's hard to imagine, Master Chaplin is not only a genius actor and director, but also a very powerful musician, at least a qualified soundtrack, this kind of film scored by the director himself is Dong Chou decades later in addition to Chaplin ("The Secret That Can't Be Said"......

Although Monet already knew that Chaplin had this ability, he still had to pretend to be surprised: "God, I didn't expect Charlie to have this ability!" ”

"Of course, he plays the violin very well!" Ruth complimented, then said, "By the way, this should be Charlie's last work at Icestone Films, and he's going to Essanay after the contract ends!" Do you know what the weekly salary and signing fee are for him? ”

"Surely a lot, right?" Monet asked curiously.

"$1,250 a week, $10,000 in signing fees, and more importantly, more creative space!"

"How do you feel like you're in love with Charlie?" Monet teased.

Ruth hurriedly shook her head and replied: "It's impossible, I just admire Charlie's talent, but he's not the type I like." ”

"You're not planning to live alone for the rest of your life, are you?" Monet asked with some concern.

"No, because I promised Jack that he would have a wonderful life, so when I meet someone I like, I will still get married." Ruth replied.

Monet breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." ”

"Alright, then I'll go deliver tickets to other friends."

After sending Ruth away, Monet just wanted to take a break, but he didn't expect to receive a call from the "former sister-in-law" Mary, only to hear her say very anxiously: "Mr. Monet is not good, that Professor Moriarty is here!" ”

"What did you call him here, did he walk before?" Monet asked with a frown.

Mary explained: "Although I don't know his whereabouts, I feel that he must have been in London when he wrote to the fake Monet, because the postmark of the letter was from London, and now the postmark of the letter he sent me is New York." ”

"What is in his letter to you?" Monet asked.

"Actually, it's nothing, just congratulate me on finding a good home, and let me tell you about his existence and what he has done to you. Why did you say he asked me to tell you? Mary asked, puzzled.

Monet thought for a moment, then replied, "I think he had already guessed that you must have told me all these things, otherwise I would not have been able to help you keep this secret." As for why he did this, it is likely to remind you of his existence, and although he doesn't need you now, something will definitely find you in the future. ”

"If I don't help him, then he'll expose my identity?" Mary asked, a little trembling.

Monet nodded and replied, "That's for sure, because it's his biggest threat to you." ”

Listening to Monet's words, Mary was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Mr. Monet, I heard that you have a very good relationship with Sheriff Klein, can you please help me find this guy out!" ”

"And then? Kill him? Monet asked tentatively.

Mary nodded and replied, "Well, I can't leave this hidden danger behind. ”

"Aren't you afraid of my hidden danger?" Monet asked rhetorically.

Mary replied without hesitation: "A person with such status as you will definitely not use this kind of threatening means, and we have cooperative interests, and it is only good for you not to expose my identity." ”

"That's true, but you can't find Sheriff Klein for this matter, because once you find him, you'll have to tell your identity, I'll find someone else, and don't get your hopes up too much in this matter, because we have too few clues."

Mary thought for a moment, then replied, "Well, in fact, I have also made some preparations in advance, lest he really make any demands on me that make me embarrassed, but I have no means to fight back." ”

After hanging up the phone, Monet drove to Chen Yuanqi's clinic, first told him about the whole thing in general, of course, he only said that Mary's identity was special but did not say specifically, and then focused on the previous troubles made by Professor Moriarty to himself.

After listening to Monet's story, Chen Yuanqi thought for a while, then nodded and agreed: "Okay Tony, I will do my best in this matter, and I will also ask some friends in Chinatown to help, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to find out this Professor Moriarty for you!" ”

PS: PUSH THE COPY OF "CHINESE PARENTS" IN "BREAKING THROUGH THE STEAM GAME LIBRARY", IT IS VERY CREATIVELY WRITTEN.
