15 days later, Fred Zinerman placed the thick script on Victor's desk.

This man in his thirties was already very thin. After more than ten days, he turned into a skeleton, with a sham beard, messy hair, wearing pajamas, and red eyes.

"How is it?!How is it?!" After Victor looked at it, he remained silent. Zinerman was anxious and asked repeatedly.

In contrast, Victor's situation was not much better, and this guy's eyes were covered with blood.

Slap Victor threw the script heavily on the table.

Zinerman's face, which was originally excited and anticipated, suddenly turned ashen.

"I'll go and change it again, boss." Zinerman said.

"No need to change." Victor laughed: "Fred, you have a good rest during this period and keep your energy. After the New Year, I want to prepare the crew as soon as possible."

"What!? You mean, has this script passed?" Zinerman said tremblingly.

Victor nodded, then looked out the window and looked at the vast Hollywood: "It's so slim, I've been so angry during this period. Next year, I'll give these guys some color."

During the fifteen days, a series of lively events in Hollywood have happened. However, this lively thing has nothing to do with Victor and the Legendary Film Company.

It is already November. This is the period when Hollywood's films explode in concentrated areas every year, and it continues until the New Year. It can be regarded as one of the two prime time movies every year.

First of all, let’s talk about “This Killer Not Too Cold”. Although the movie is mixed and criticism is much louder than praise, the box office is booming. After two weeks of screening, “This Killer Not Too Cold” was officially launched. Victor was worried that the theater agents carefully checked the accounts. Excluding all costs, “This Killer Not Too Cold” earned a total of 2.1 million US dollars for the legendary film company.

Such a box office is not the most profitable movie in Hollywood, but if the shooting cost is taken into account, the investment and output are comparable to the average level of Hollywood movies.

For this reason, "Hollywood Review" has to admit that "This Killer Not Too Cold" has been warmly welcomed by the audience.

With $2.1 million, Victor suddenly felt that he was hard to bear the burden and was about to think about the shooting plan for the next year, but he was hit by a series of slaps.

These scoundrels are related to the movies released by major Hollywood companies.

During these fifteen days, many movies, especially the finale of major Hollywood companies, were released one after another. For a moment, gunpowder filled the screen and wars were flying.

If these movies are not released or are postponed, the screening period of "This Killer Not Too Cold" will be extended, but as soon as these big-name movies produced by big stars come out, "This Killer Not Too Cold" will be squeezed out.

The first thing that started this battle was the investment of Columbia Film Company, the investment of "This is John Toh" directed by Frank Capra and Paramount Film Company, and the investment of "Northwest Passage" directed by King Vido.

As one of the eight major film companies, Colombia is not as strong as Paramount, but she is desperate to take all her gambles and attaches great importance to Capra's film. The investment of Paramount is also awesome. The investment of 8 million US dollars makes "Northwest Channel" not only abundant funds, but also a gathering of stars.

Capra and Kim Vidor are both famous directors. As soon as the two of their hard-working works were released, the audience responded a lot, and major theaters were strongly released, and Hollywood was involved in all aspects.

The audience likes these two movies very much, while Hollywood people continue to argue, criticize and praise both movies as always. However, in the discussion, there will be Victor's "This Killer Not Too Cold" involuntarily as a negative example, which once again scolds Victor.

Then, the movie "Overseas Commissioner" that Warner Film Company has been filming for a whole year was released. As a director, Hitchcock has firmly stood firm in Hollywood. After the film was released, it was warmly welcomed by the audience. As a suspense master, Hitchcock easily captured the hearts of the audience with his extremely skillful techniques. The popularity of the film not only exceeded that of Capra and Kim Vido's movies, but also the discussion level was earth-shaking.

For "Overseas Commissioner", Hollywood criticism and praise each account for half of the voices. The praise is nothing more than Hitchcock's unmatched ability in constructing suspense, while the criticism focuses on the black tone of the film.

Hitchcock, who was in a hot temper, immediately responded fiercely to public opinion, scolding Hollywood for not understanding art at all, saying: "Even a useless movie like Victor Ferro can be praised by some people. I really don't understand that you still have the face to talk about movies!?"

Such remarks were published in major newspapers, and Victor was shot again while laying down.

But what's worse is still to come. Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" invested by United States was released later. This movie is radiant in the history of film. Through a fictional story, the film satirized Hitler with a very high artistic level. It must be said that Chaplin, who has become a yellow flower in Hollywood, spent a lot of effort on this movie and almost invested all of United States' wealth.

After the movie came out, the result was far beyond Chaplin's expectations.

First of all, in the box office, compared with other directors' masterpieces, Chaplin's movie is lukewarm. John Ford and Victor calculated that the best result of Chaplin's movie is to protect the capital, and he is likely to lose money.

Compared to the dismal box office, public opinion criticized Chaplin almost one-sidedly - Hollywood people have nothing to say about the artistic innovation in this movie and Chaplin's level, but Hollywood people think it is a bit too much about Chaplin's obvious political tendency in this movie.

This year, the United States was not involved in the world war and was still a neutral country. Chaplin's movie was sarcastic to Hitler, and the degree of mockery of the movie was significantly greater than the entertainment function of the movie.

Not only Hollywood people have done this, major newspapers have criticized this, and even the US federal government has intervened, pointing out that the film has a "red tendency", which is too much.

Public opinion knocked Chaplin out of his senses. Chaplin was so angry that he wrote an article in the newspaper, firing at the US government, pointing out that the US government is a "shameless government with no sense of controversy", claiming that he is a British man and a great British man, and can leave this shameless place at any time. He also pointed out that Hollywood in the United States is only worthy of bad people like Victor and made bad movies like "This Killer Not Too Cold".

Seeing such a bustle, Victor was crying without tears.

I'll fuck, whoever I'll mess with me.

Then there was a fight between two consecutive western films, and the real style of the relationship was obvious from the beginning.

Global Investment, "The Wester" directed by William Wheeler and 20th Century Fox Investment, and "The Grapes of Wrath" directed by John Ford.

In Hollywood, Universal and 20th Century Fox are not working, and it is well known that the annual drama of the two companies is scheduled to be released on the same day, which has already explained the problem.

Although William Wheeler and John Ford have a good relationship, both of them want to take the limelight in each other, because in Hollywood, they are the ones who can lead the trend in western films.

Therefore, the struggle between the two movies can only be described as hot.

Victor naturally paid more attention to John Ford's "The Grapes of Angry" in these two movies. It's not because he has a good relationship with Ford, but because the script of this movie was completely made by himself.

And as a result, Victor hit the wall for a day.

"The Grapes of Angry" has become the most popular movie among all movies, and the most praised by the public.

The stories told in it made countless viewers shed tears on the scene. The Hollywood Review, Los Angeles Times and other newspapers gave almost all the honors and praises to John Ford without reservation.

"Hollywood's conscience!" "A great movie worthy of the word immortality!"

"It makes people move and make people cry. This movie by John Ford is enough to show his status as a master of westerns!" "The script is so good! The story is touching, the characters are full, especially the great feelings of compassion in it, which are what all Hollywood filmmakers should learn! Especially for young directors like Victor Ferrore, you should see what a great movie is called a great script, a great script, rather than just taking advantage of the situation!"

You can imagine Victor's mood when he saw such a newspaper - my god, your mother! That script was written by me!

If it weren't for signing a contract with 20th Century Fox, Victor really wanted to run out and slap those guys who wrote articles.

"Fred, we have to work hard to shut up next year! And these things need us to talk about the movie!" Victor roared.

Zinaman said for a long time: "Boss, I am the director. If the movie turns around, will you compare and scold you?"
Chapter completed!
