In the MGM film production room, documentary director Burgess Moran led the team to work overtime.
Eight cameras were used for this shooting, and the film and television materials were sufficient.
What he has to do now is to edit these film and television materials into an exciting documentary.
Two days and two nights passed,
A 68-minute documentary was released.
Organize a movie watching.
Hardy is here, MGM boss Meyer is here, President Johnston is here, Mayor Ross and Director Ed are also here.
Several big guys sat down to watch the film together.
At the beginning of the film, newspapers kept flashing, and various newspapers reported that the Los Angeles branch of Bank of America was robbed.
Then there is an introduction to the whole robbery case.
After the robbery happened, many reporters rushed to the scene and took many photos and recorded videos on the spot.
Innocent passers-by were killed, money transport trucks full of bullet holes, several security personnel who were killed, and a devastated bank business hall.
The brutality of the robbers and the brutality of the scene are clear at a glance.
Then came the newspaper report. Los Angeles had frequent bank robberies in recent years, and Los Angeles had already become a crime capital. The police drove the police car and sent the police around, but they couldn't suppress the evil flame.
Moria Johnston, president of Bank of America's Los Angeles branch, appeared on the camera and was very annoyed by the bank robbery. He offered a reward of $20,000 to track down the clues of the robbers, launch retaliatory actions against the robbers, and protect the safety of customers.
Then Mayor Rose accepted an interview, and Police Chief Ed accepted an interview, each expressing their views and determination on the matter.
At this time, security officially appeared.
The camera stretches from the guard box at the gate to the office building, and finally comes to the strategy research room. The layout here is very similar to that of the military strategy research room. There are various maps and files. There are several people wearing black special combat uniforms sitting around the round table. People are studying the whole process of bank robbery
The plot develops all the way.
I've always been nervous.
In the end, most of them are naturally the siege and arrest of the robbers.
The capture process has the most information. After editing for more than 20 minutes, the bullets roared, the heavy machine guns neighed, and the explosions kept on. Watching the robbers were killed, everyone watching the movie felt very happy.
During the entire operation, the security personnel demonstrated extremely strong combat effectiveness, acted swiftly, command and communication were advanced, and completely crushed the robbers.
The security guards carried the only living robber out, the camera was frozen, and finally turned into a photo in the newspaper.
Insiders looked for the lost cash box in the bank, and finally found it in the cellar. After opening the cash box, the densely packed banknotes were exposed. The camera was shot from multiple angles, which stimulated people's adrenaline.
The security guard came out carrying the money box, and the photo became a newspaper photo again.
At the end of the video,
Security handed over the cash box and the robbers to the Los Angeles Police Department. Lanster and President Johnston shook hands. The two parties formally signed an agreement. Security officially took over the security business of Bank of America Los Angeles.
Lanster shook hands with Chief Ed of the Los Angeles Police Department and signed an agreement. From now on, security will become the outer force of the Los Angeles Police Department, responsible for some street security patrols, emergency handling, and strong fire support.
Hardy is very satisfied with the editing of the entire film. The film is intense and exciting, comparable to a gunfight blockbuster, enough to attract the audience.
The manifestation reflects that the Bank of America and the Los Angeles Police Department are also positive images, and security appears in the same posture as the Avengers, fighting criminals and saving the entire city.
At the end of the movie, the lights are on.
Several big shots applauded together.
"Mayor Ross, Director Ed, President Johnston, what do you think?" Hardy asked with a smile.
Mayor Ross nodded, "It's a wonderful documentary, without any groggy feeling, the whole process is intense and exciting, and the final eradication of the robbers is the best."
He is very satisfied with this documentary.
At the very least, I have a very good image on it, which is enough.
"Well, it's very good. Our business philosophy of Bank of America is basically reflected." President Johnston said.
Chief Eddy next to him said a little nerdy, "Is the image of the police a little weak?"
Several people in the house looked at him, asking what you look like. Don't you know what you are like? If it weren't for the security, you think you can solve the case.
Ed coughed slightly to ease the embarrassment.
The documentary is complete.
Meyer told everyone that he plans to have a trial screening in Los Angeles next. If the effect is good, as long as the attendance rate reaches 30%, which is the same as other documentary data, he will be promoted to major theaters in the United States.
Three days later.
Posters were posted at 8 theaters in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Bank Robbery.
The poster picture shows several fully armed security personnel wearing special combat uniforms.
"The most real Los Angeles bank robbery, the exciting 68 minutes, you will definitely be hooked after watching it, and the ticket price is only 10 cents."
The current movie ticket price is basically between 20 cents and 35 cents. Because it is a documentary, Hardy deliberately priced it at half, so that it can attract more people to watch the movie.
Because of the overwhelming propaganda in the newspapers when the big robbery happened before, many people were very curious about this robbery and were willing to spend money to walk into the movie theater and take a look at the whole process.
There is no so-called premiere.
It was officially broadcast at 1 pm that day.
Movie theaters originally let go of documentaries. People's enthusiasm for documentaries is very low. Usually only a small number of people will walk into the movie theater to watch this kind of film, but today is different, there are crowds of people outside the movie theater, and there is no difference in playing blockbuster films.
Today, Hardy was fine. I drove up little Lolita Taylor and took her to watch the movie. Taylor hadn't seen Hardy for several days. It was great to be able to come out to watch the movie with him.
The little beauty looked at the poster and asked:
"Mr. Hardy, security is your company, right?"
"Yes."
"I read the newspaper and it said that security had defeated the robbers easily, and that in the future, it would be necessary to maintain law and order in Los Angeles. Mr. Hardy is so powerful." Taylor couldn't help but praise.
The two walked into the theater and sat next to each other.
The cinema was almost full.
This is hard to imagine.
This is a documentary, even if it is a well-produced movie, it is already amazing to have 70% to 80% attendance.
Movie playback,
The whole Los Angeles bank robbery was not a bit dull as a documentary, and there was not much preaching and reasoning, it was just narrative.
Show the tension and excitement.
Taylor was deeply attracted by the content.
Staring at the screen without turning his big eyes.
The same is true for other audiences.
In the last twenty minutes, when the scene arrived, the whole action process was hot, bullets flew around and shot to the flesh. It was absolutely comparable to a blockbuster shootout, and it was more real.
Even some bloody, taboo shots are not edited.
The video ends.
The audience discussed as they walked out.
Many people are hooked.
If modern people see this documentary, it is estimated that some people will scold the film company for being unscrupulous. This documentary is too high on security.
This is a **** commercial in the guise of a documentary.
The owner of this security company must have spent money.
Yes,
Hardy did spend money.
Before editing,
He gave the director of Moran a content production flow sheet, sorted out the entire plot process, and of course, there was a check for 10,000 US dollars.
Moran did not succumb to the temptation of the check.
He simply thinks that the film process written by the boss of Hardy is better.
There are two movies currently being shot, both of which are scripts made by Hardy’s boss. They are definitely not a layman.
Screening for three consecutive days.
According to the box office statistics, MGM was surprised to find that it turned out to be better than the box office results of many movies.
The main thing is the pre-propaganda, and the sensational event can attract so many people into the theater.
With a big wave of his hand, Meyer put the distribution department into theaters across the United States, and maybe he could make a lot of money with this documentary.
Regardless of how it counts now, the movie documentary is only profitable, and even has a tendency to make a lot of money.
Soon the Los Angeles bank robbery was shown in theaters across the United States. Although other cities are not as popular as Los Angeles and have achieved successful attendance, they are much better than ordinary movies. There is absolutely no problem in making money.
Meyer called Hardy and said with a smile: "Hadi, I found that you are a marketing genius, a simple bank robbery, you have run it so perfectly."
"According to the current box office trend, if it is broadcast for a month, it should be able to reach 2 million box office. This documentary will cost you very little. Excluding the theater share and distribution costs, you can probably earn about 500,000 yuan."
"More importantly, this incident has facilitated the cooperation between Security and the Los Angeles Police Department and Bank of America. I guess that this is the focus of your plan. And through publicity, everyone in the United States is aware of Security. In the future, Security will develop business. It will go very smoothly."
"Hadi, you took the whole thing to the extreme."
Meyer admits that he admires Hardy's mind now, how can such a person do business without making money, he is very optimistic about Hardy's future now.
"MGM makes a lot of money, and more than half of the profit is deducted from the publicity fee." Hardy said with a smile.
"That's just a small amount of money, I believe you won't care." Meyer said.
Hardy can't care about hundreds of thousands, mainly because the other gains are greater.
Security has now signed a contract with Bank of America. The Los Angeles branch of Bank of America has a headquarters with a vault. In addition, there are 5 business halls and three cash transport vehicles. A total of 85 security personnel are required.
In the contract signed by the two parties, Bank of America must pay more than one million security fees each year for security, including the security of the treasury, the security of the business hall, and the security of the money transport vehicle. If a robbery occurs, the security company promises to retaliate against the robbers free of charge.
Hardy’s security is now only about 120 people, and the Bank of America family has eaten most of it. Hardy then ordered Lanster to continue to recruit people vigorously.
Hardy's ideal is to develop Security into an enterprise like 4s. Later 4s has more than 620,000 employees, has operations in 115 countries around the world, and undertakes dozens of business categories.
Now that Hardy Security has taken a solid step, he has become famous, and has his own direction. He believes that he will be able to develop in the future.
The matter of the security company had just ended, and Hardy got another good news. The financial company called him, and their acquisition of the shares of Nash Mining had been completed.
Nash Mining originally had 4 shareholders, two major shareholders and two small shareholders. The **** David Nash brought Nash Mining to the bottom, and was already unable to recover. At this time, the financial company came over to buy, through professional analysis and fudge. , The three shareholders sold all the shares in a package.
Selling now can at least get some money back. When it really drops to a penny worthless, they can't get that money back. The company still has foreign debts, and maybe they will have to pay from private pockets to cover it. hole.
The financial company found David Nash again. He was already in jail, waiting for the trial. At first, he wanted to make more money by holding his shares. At least he would be more comfortable in prison if he had money in his hands.
The person from the financial company smiled and said: "We have acquired the shares of the other three companies, totaling 31. Although it is a little less than yours, you can surpass you by just collecting a little in the market. What will happen next, I believe you can think."
People who play finance have a way to deal with a listed company that is on the verge of bankruptcy. In the end, it can make David's shares worthless.
Moreover, he was still in prison and had no resistance at all.
Selling now, at least I can get back more than 200,000 US dollars, UU reading David finally gave in.
At this point, Hardy completely owns Nash Mining. As for what to do next, he is not in a hurry. Let it go first. The stock market will be managed by this financial company.
There is a globe in Hardy's office, which is one person tall and exquisitely crafted. You reach out and click on the globe. Brazil, Australia, Peru, Chile, Africa, these places are rich in mineral resources.
When you develop yourself in the future, you can buy the land that contains mineral veins, and even if it has been re-mined, you can also operate it.
There is also oil.
It is only 1946, and I still have a lot of room to operate, and many large oil fields have not yet been found.
of course,
These should be said after he has that strength. Before he has enough strength, holding too much money or resources in his hand is to invite disaster to himself.
"Ring Ling Ling!"
The phone rang on the desk.
Hardy picked up to answer.
"Jon, this is Siegel, I heard Mayer say that you recently invested 1 million in a movie?" Siegel's voice came over the phone.
"Yes, I made some money from stocks," Hardy said.
Hardy’s money was mainly made by frying Nash Mining, which has nothing to do with the gang.
Siegel paused slightly and said, "I had a big quarrel with a few partners a few days ago. They came to Las Vegas and were very dissatisfied with the progress of the project, saying that I was too extravagant and idealistic. ."
"I asked them for money, and they refused to pay for the new project. The money in my hands can only last for half a month at most, but it is still far from completion."
"Mr. Siegel, what do you mean?" Hardy asked.
"I mean, are you interested in becoming a shareholder of the casino?" Siegel asked.
