Chapter 174： : Value doubled ten times

Hardy had previously ordered Bill to send someone to San Francisco to pay attention to the situation of the Mafia Selton family.

Now that the patriarch of the Selton family is being investigated by the FBI, there is turmoil inside. Hardy calls Bill and instructs him to send more people to San Francisco to investigate the business of the Selton family in depth.

"Sometimes when doing business, we don't have to have a head-on conflict with the other party. We can use multiple advantages, such as newspapers, police, patrols, and even the FBI."

"The business of the Selton family is all underworld business. Find the clues of these businesses and provide them to the police. Use the power of the police to attack him, find evidence of his tax evasion, and hand it to the tax bureau. Find evidence of his crime and hand it over FBI, he can toss him to death and alive." Hardy said with a smile.

Bill couldn't help but nod.

Then thought of his own business.

"Boss, if others use this method to deal with us, how should Los Angeles deal with it?" Bill asked with some worry.

"So I asked you to be as careful as possible before. A black business is a black business. You can never see the light.

The business in Los Angeles is now hierarchically responsible. If we encounter strong investigations, we can directly break our arms and lose some of our subordinates at most. Others don't even want to find a higher level and can't touch the foundation of Los Angeles. "

"In San Francisco, you send additional staff to investigate what happened and report it to Henry in time. The security company will use proper means to deal with the Selton family. As long as you get him a few times, the Selton family will be greatly injured. "

"Okay boss, I'll send more people over."

......

After Bill left, Hardy received a call.

"Mr. Hardy, I'm back to Los Angeles." Elizabeth Taylor's sweet voice came over the phone.

"The Killer Is Not Too Cold" will be released soon. During this time, Taylor has been running out to promote. He hasn't seen Hardy for a long time. When he came back, he couldn't wait to contact Hardy.

"Tired?" Hardy asked concerned.

"It's really tired, but I feel excited and worried when I think that the movie will be released soon." Taylor said.

"How could the story I wrote fail, ha ha don't worry." Hardy smiled.

The two chatted a few more words, Xiao Nizi said: "Mr. Hardy, the movie will be officially released the day after tomorrow, shall we go to see it together?"

"Okay, let's go secretly." Hardy replied.

After this period of vigorous publicity, "This Killer Is Not So Cold" is finally going to be released. On the day of the release, Hardy sneaked into a Los Angeles theater with Taylor.

The actor of this movie is Gary Grant, and it can be said that most of the audience went into the theater for him.

However, some people were targeting Taylor. During the promotion, the MGM promotion team announced that Taylor was the Barbie ‘Princess Taylor’, and many little girls clamored to see Princess Taylor.

At the beginning of the cinema, the audience was full.

Among them are many little girls.

There is no classification system for movies now. Movies like the killer is not too cold. There are a lot of **** shooting scenes. They can definitely be set at the special tutoring level. Children under the age of 13 can watch them with their parents.

When the movie was played, people were gradually attracted by the plot.

Matilda's life was miserable at the beginning, and then the family was killed. After meeting Lyon, life gradually became more colorful.

The strength of the girl.

The care of the killer uncle.

Let this movie is full of alternative love flavor.

The final revenge scene of the shootout pushes the plot to the scene even more.

Although there are some differences between the movie and the killer that Hardy had seen in the past, it is still a rare good movie.

Taylor's acting skills are also absolutely online.

At the end of the field,

Many people walked out while discussing the plot.

"I like an uncle like Gary Grant. He is so handsome. It would be nice if I also met such an uncle." said a five, six or four-year-old girl.

"Taylor is so beautiful, her acting skills are very good, when I was watching the movie, I completely forgot her previous image, I feel like she is Matilda." A man said.

Tyler took Hardy's arm and walked out. He was very happy to hear people's comments, and her efforts were recognized by everyone.

After watching the movie, Hardy was about to send Taylor home. Taylor looked at Hardy with purple eyes: "Mr. Hardy, I want to go to your manor to play."

"OK."

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Hardy sent Tyler home. When he got out of the car, his lips were slightly swollen. He ran to the door and turned to look at Hardy, waved goodbye to him before entering the house.

Sarah saw her daughter come back and asked happily: "How is the movie release today?"

"The theater was full of audiences. After watching the movie, many people praised me for my acting skills." Taylor said happily.

"That's great, Tyler, what did you do after watching the movie with Mr. Hardy?" Sarah asked.

Hardy picked up Tyler in the afternoon and sent him back at eleven o'clock in the evening. The movie was over.

A panic flashed in Taylor's eyes.

"I went to Mr. Hardy's manor to play and had dinner there. After dinner, Mr. Hardy told me that if I like the "Beauty and the Beast" story, he will let the film company make the script." Taylor said .

"Ah, is there a new movie yet?!" Sarah was surprised.

Actors are most afraid that there is no play to film. Taylor knows Hardy, the big gold master, and now there is no worry that there is no play to play. Sara touches her daughter's face, and her daughter is really lucky.

"By the way, Mr. Hardy also told me that if I want to, I can go to ABC TV station to do a show. The TV station has a children’s doll column called "Sesame Street". I can play a character in it, and everyone else wears doll clothes. I don’t have to wear it, I’m playing Princess Taylor."

Taylor said happily.

Sarah is happier, now her daughter really doesn't have to worry about having no play to act in.

The next day.

Several newspapers published film review articles.

""This Killer Is Not So Cold", the name is very novel, I didn't understand what it meant at first, but when I watched the movie, I finally knew the origin of the name. It was really not too cold.

He was originally a cold assassin, but later he met a cute girl. He cared for her, helped her, and grew up with her. The girl gradually fell in love with the assassin. This is a kind of dependent love. I feel more like a girl who loves herself. Father.

The most memorable scene was that when the girl was in danger of life and asked the killer for help, the killer didn’t want to cause trouble, but after a fierce thought struggle, he finally opened the door. When the door opened, a ray of sunlight shone on the girl’s face. Above, the light at this moment is the light of life and the light of human nature.

This film is definitely worth your time in the cinema. I believe that after watching this film, you will remember it for a lifetime. "

Most of the other film critics also gave a very high evaluation of this film. Many people commented that Elizabeth Taylor's performance reached a new height, not losing to the Oscar actor Gary Grant in the film.

Of course there are noises too.

Some film critics say that letting a 14-year-old girl and a 40-year-old uncle fall in love is in itself unethical and definitely not worth promoting.

Fortunately, there are no intimate scenes in the movie, otherwise these people would directly call out the movie to block it.

Hardy received a report from MGM that the first day's viewing data came out. More than 900 movie theaters across the country played in more than 900 movie theaters, and the box office revenue reached a staggering 950,000 US dollars.

This is an extremely high number.

According to MGM's analysis, the total box office may reach more than 8 million, and may even hit 10 million.

Can achieve this effect, and Gary Grant is inseparable from the actor, but some people feel that Taylor's influence is not lost to Gary Grant, especially the publicity of Barbie Princess.

MGM boss Meyer personally called Hardy to congratulate him, Hardy smiled, "This movie is co-produced by our two families, and the boss of MGM makes more money than me."

Meyer paused and said.

"Hardy, your ABC broadcaster found MGM and wanted to buy MGM movies. Hardy, are you very optimistic about the future of television broadcasting?" Meyer asked.

"Very optimistic." Hardy said firmly.

Meyer thought for a while.

"How far do you think radio and television will develop that will threaten movies?" Meyer asked again.

"Hehe, Mr. Meyer, to tell you, I think it is more serious than what you said. It is not only a simple threat, but a comprehensive surpass, and even seriously affects the future of the film industry." Hardy said.

Meyer felt that Hardy's words were a bit alarmist.

"The entire film industry reaches a scale of more than one billion US dollars each year. More than 30 million people enter the cinema every year. We have box office income, copyright income, and theme parks. The TV industry only has advertising income. How can it surpass the film industry? "Meyer retorted.

"Free, convenient, family, long-term, this is the advantage of the biggest TV." Hardy said.

"Buying a TV set allows you to watch a steady stream of shows, and watching movies requires money every time."

"The TV is placed at home and can be watched at any time, without having to prepare a few days in advance to watch a movie. TV people can enjoy it at any time. After people have dinner, the whole family can watch TV in the living room. It can further enhance the feelings between family members."

"A movie is only two or three hours, and TV can watch a whole day. Now other TV stations only have five hours a day. After my ABC starts, I will adjust it from 8 am to 12 pm."

Meyer was surprised, "Do you have so many shows?"

"Hehe, there are as many shows as there are." Hardy said with a smile.

Meyer was silent.

In fact, he did not fail to see the advantages of TV and its influence on the future of movies. Other film companies also saw some clues. For example, Paramount wanted to acquire ABC.

It just doesn't feel as scary as Hardy said. I always feel that TV can't replace movies.

Now that Hardy said this, Meyer's mind was shaken again, "Hadi, can you sell the shares of ABC?"

Hardy knew Meyer was tempted.

"Sell."

Meyer was overjoyed.

"How to sell?"

"A 10% share of 10 million US dollars can be sold to you 20% of the shares."

Meyer almost died of anger.

He had heard that Hardy bought 100% of ABC’s shares for 12 million U.S. dollars. Now it costs 10 million to sell 10%, which is 10 times the value.
