Chapter 81： : The movie is finalized

"Boy, get the money out."

"And this girl, give it to our brother, otherwise you won't be able to leave the Xiacheng district alive today, hehehe."

A little **** took a knife from his body and juggled it in his hand.

Taylor was so frightened by the gangsters who suddenly appeared, he leaned to Hardy's side. Hardy was afraid that the girl would be hurt by these gangsters, and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Hand over all the money you have"

"boom!"

The **** with the dagger just said half a word, a gunshot suddenly came from the side, and the **** with the dagger was shot in the chest and fell to the ground.

Blood gurgled from his chest.

"what!"

Tyler was frightened and turned with a scream and got into Hardy's arms, hiding his face deep in Hardy's chest.

Immediately after the Great Ivan ran over with a few of his men, it was the turn of those gangsters to be scared. They knew Great Ivan. The Russian Gang was the biggest force in this piece. No one dared to provoke them. They all knelt on the ground in fright.

"Don't kill us, don't kill us."

Several bullies knelt on the ground and pleaded.

Big Ivan didn't have time to pay attention to these guys, looked at Hardy nervously, and said cautiously: "Boss, I'm sorry that it was my negligence that scared you all."

Hardy shook his head helplessly.

This is indeed an accident.

He originally wanted to take Tyler to experience the look and life of the slum, but he didn't expect a few gangsters to rob them.

Looking down at Tyler in his arms, he was frightened like a little quail, hugging Hardy's waist tightly, with his eyes closed against his chest.

"Ivan, take care of the matter here, and I will take Tyler away." After speaking, he took Tyler and walked back.

The Great Ivan hurriedly sent two men to follow the escort.

When Hardy disappeared, Big Ivan turned and looked at the gangsters who were kneeling on the ground, his face turned hideous.

Oh shit,

Finally, the boss asked me to do this. Originally, I wanted to show it.

This is all messed up by you bastards.

"Bring up the corpse and take all of them away." Big Ivan gritted his teeth and said coldly

Back to the car,

Hardy put the girl in the back seat.

Drive out of the slum.

The girl curled up in the seat along the way. Hardy knew that Tyler was frightened. She had been cared for since she was a child and had never been exposed to such **** things.

Seeing a person be killed in front of oneself, the impact on people is really tremendous.

He thought about it,

Park your car in a small park parking lot.

Get out of the car and get into the back seat.

The girl cried, with tears in her eyes.

Hardy took the girl into his arms.

"This is the first time you have seen this kind of thing?"

"Ok."

The girl nodded and shed tears.

"Remember that I told you that Matilda came back from shopping and saw through the door that her family had been killed. Can you imagine what she was feeling at the time?"

"Sad, scared, but in order to survive, she had to gritted her teeth and walked to the side, knocking on Lyon’s door, and begging Lyon to open the door, so that she would have a chance to live. Faced with death threats, you can imagine that she had How scared?"

"Matilda's strength, can you understand some of it now, right?"

Tyler lay in Hardy's arms, and his tears slowly stopped.

"My previous understanding of Matilda is still too shallow, Mr. Hardy, can you tell me the story in detail, I want to re-understand it?" Taylor said.

"no problem."

Hardy tells Matilda's story again, this time more carefully than at Meyer Park that night.

Tyler listened very seriously while lying in Hardy's arms.

She found that all the things she had seen in the past two days can be brought into the movie characters, and Mr. Hardy brought herself out, really training herself with heart.

The girl looked up at the man.

It took a long time to look away.

It wasn't until the evening that Hardy sent Tyler home. Tyler got out of the car and waved goodbye. She opened the door and walked into the villa. Sara saw Tyler found that she was a little bit emotional. When her daughter came back yesterday, she was full of energy and behaved very naughty. What happened today? ?

Sara is a little worried.

"Isha, what's wrong with you?" Sara asked.

"Mr. Hardy took me to the slum area today, where I saw many poor children, some children fight for a piece of bread, Matilda often hungry in the movie turned out to be true." Taylor said. .

Sarah was relieved to hear her daughter say so.

She thought that what Mr. Hardy did to his daughter was just taking her to the slum.

Sara patted her daughter's head and said, "There are always misfortunes in life, so we have to work hard, right Isha."

"I went up to take a shower."

"Go ahead."

After taking a shower, Taylor put on her pajamas and lay in the bed. In fact, the real reason for her depression did not tell her mother. She was frightened by the beaten bastard.

This was the first time in her life that she saw someone killed. Mr. Hardy said he had killed more than 30 people. Thinking about it, Mr. Hardy was so courageous.

and also.

Lying in Mr. Hardy's arms, I really feel safe.

Thinking that Mr. Hardy would not be able to come to her tomorrow, I asked Hitchcock director and MGM boss Meyer to read the script and determine the shooting situation.

She was a little bit lost.

There are still many expectations.

I don’t know if I can get the role of Matilda

The next day.

Hardy came to the film company.

The two screenwriters had already arrived, and saw Hardy hand over the script immediately.

"Mr. Hardy, the more I write, the more I feel that this story is great, I believe the film will be a big hit." A screenwriter said.

"This movie definitely has the strength to hit the Oscars." said another long sleeve screenwriter who is not worthy of a name.

After reading the script, Hardy felt that it was similar to what he had in mind. The main reason was that his outline was too detailed. These two guys basically perfected it.

"Yes, get me 5 sets." Hardy said.

The two screenwriters took the script and went out to find someone to transcribe. Hardy picked up the phone and contacted MGM boss Meyer.

"Hadi, come to my manor for dinner tonight. I call Shang Hitchcock and the director of the production department to study your script together."

"Good Mr. Meyer."

In the evening, Hardy came to Meyer's villa again. This time there were no guests in the courtyard, and the huge manor seemed very quiet.

Hitchcock and Hans, director of production at MGM, were here. Before it was time for dinner, the three of them looked at the script together, and only the sound of page turning was left in the room.

Meyer was the first to put down the script. He is the big boss. He just needs to know the general outline and see if the plot is exciting.

Hans put it down second.

Hitchcock has been watching the longest time.

Meyer looked at the two of them, "What do you think of this script?"

Hitchcock was the first to speak, “I’ve heard the brief introduction to the story before, and now I read the script and I find it more interesting. The love between the girl and the uncle, revenge for the parents, the lonely killer is because the girl bombs herself.”

"The content is very rich, the story and impact are also very good. It is definitely one of the best scripts I have seen in the past few years. I think the audience will definitely buy it when it is filmed, and it has the strength to impact the Oscar."

Meyer looked at Hans, the production supervisor.

"Hans, talk about it."

"This is an urban film. You don't need to set up a scene. You just need to find a suitable place in the slum. I estimated that the cost should be less than 1.7 million excluding the actors' salary."

Meyer looked at Hitchcock and Hardy, "Who do you think is more appropriate for this movie?"

Because the actors determine the level of pay and the degree of attraction, big stars bring their own traffic and use them to promote them, and they will naturally attract a lot of people to watch the movie.

Hitchcock looked at Hardy first, "You came up with this script. Who is your favorite person?"

Hardy was not polite,

"Little girl, I think Elizabeth Taylor is good."

Hitchcock frowned.

"I know that girl, but I think her temperament is so different from Matilda. I am worried that she can perform this role well. You know, Matilda is the real one in the whole movie. number."

Hardy smiled.

"I am training Taylor these days. I know what Matilda is like. I believe I can make Taylor a person like Matilda."

The other three people in the room understood everything.

Hardy went to Taylor specifically, and has already started training.

"Who do you think is the actor?" Meyer asked.

Hardy smiled, "This is not as good as Mr. Meyer and Director Hitchcock to choose, you should be able to find the most suitable candidate."

The arena is not about fighting and killing, but about human affection and sophistication.

The cake cannot be eaten alone.

As long as Taylor is the heroine, his goal will be achieved.

What if the other party disagrees with Taylor?

by,

His own investment is not over, anyway, he has money in his hands, film investment can avoid tax, but also money laundering, he can make more money.

Movies that make money at the box office,

It was definitely filmed by an art director, not a merchant.

"Gary Grant, John Wayne, Gary Cooper, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, Montgomery Clift, Errol Forte, Ron Bowring, William Holden."

Several people said a bunch of male celebrities' names, and whether it was appropriate to compare them one by one. Among these people, the most famous now is Gary Grant, who has the strongest box office appeal.

Gary Grant is 41 years old this year, which also meets the standards of a forty-year-old uncle, but his pay is also the highest, almost $300,000 for a film.

"Hadi, what do you think of Gary playing Leon?" Meyer asked.

If you choose Gary Grant, MGM has the most advantage. Gary Grant is their contract actor, and MGM can also share one-third of the pay on him.

In fact, Elizabeth Taylor is also a MGM contract actor But her salary is too low, it is estimated that only ten to twenty thousand.

Hardy thought for a while. Gary Grant was rated as the second greatest actor in a century. He has acted in comedies and scripts. He is very handy in various roles. He is 1.87 meters tall and 40 years old, which is indeed in line with Lyon. character of.

"I think Mr. Grant should be qualified for the role of Lyon."

Next is the director, naturally Hitchcock, with a salary of 200,000. The supporting role of the evil policeman can find a familiar actor, which is estimated to cost 50,000.

Also discussed Elizabeth Taylor's pay, a heroine's pay, but after the supporting role, we can see the importance of fame.

At first, Meyer prepared to give out 30,000. Hardy mentioned 50,000. Meyer smiled and finally agreed. Taylor's signing is divided into four or six, MGM six. Taylor's pay is higher and their MGM earns more.

There are dozens of other supporting actors and heroes in the play. The total cost of the actors is 900,000, and the total price is almost 2.6 million.

"Hadi, we calculate at 2.6 million, how much do you plan to invest?" Meyer asked.

The amount of investment will naturally account for the number of shares.

"How much do you plan to stay?" Hardy said.

Meyer is still confident about the film, "Well, MGM will pay 1.6 million for the production cost, and you will pay 1 million. The advertising expenses will be discussed later."

"can."

Hardy readily agreed.

Meyer is very satisfied with this cooperation.

Hardy produced the script, as long as one heroine candidate was selected, and almost all of the rest was handed over to MGM.

The actors of MGM, the director of MGM, the production team of MGM, the studio of MGM, and they are required to produce and distribute in the later stage.

The film hasn't started filming yet, and MGM has made a lot of money back.
