Chapter 225 The Future Female Film Master
When Denburg and others were proud there, I was a little nervous for a while, and the development of DreamWorks was indeed a little smoother, but for me, this kind of overly smooth days now made me a little vigilant.
I thought for a long time before I found out the reason why I felt guilty. The reason was very simple, that is, I forgot the chaebols on Wall Street.
In history, when audio movies were booming, it was also the time when these chaebols came out collectively. With the huge amount of funds in their hands, they immediately bonded all the theaters in Hollywood together. Then, with the powerful weapon of cinemas, they broke into the interior of various film companies, and eventually turned Hollywood into the world of Wall Street and into a simple money-making machine. From then on, the golden age of Hollywood has passed forever.
The current situation is very similar to the historical situation. The only difference may be that DreamWorks, which holds the patent rights of audio films, is different from Western Electric Power Corporation in history. You should know that Western Electric has been very strict with major Hollywood film companies in history, and is not as easy-going as I am now. The reason why Wall Street decided to take action against Hollywood was that it saw the huge profits brought by audio films and could take advantage of the patent rights to tie up theaters. So, according to this principle, Wall Street should have started to take action against Hollywood. Why is it still calm now?
After thinking about it, I think there are two possibilities. The first one is, of course, Wall Street may have already planned or started to do it secretly, but we just can't realize it now. The other one is that I sell audio film projection equipment to major film companies and allow them to shoot audio films at reasonable patent fees, which makes these film companies pay special attention to cinemas, so it will be extremely difficult to acquire cinemas from them.
I frowned alone and thought, and the others of Stenborg could not bear it anymore.
"Boss, what are you thinking about here? Are you worried?" Steinberg was closest to me, and when he saw me frowning, he asked carelessly.
I quickly shook my head: "It's okay. Stenberg, Gans, how are you preparing for tomorrow's premiere?"
Gans nodded: "Basically, we have prepared everything, but there are two things that are difficult to deal with."
When I saw Gans' sarcastic look, I knew that this guy must have had some conspiracy and said, "If you have anything, just say that the premiere of this movie cannot be smashed, otherwise, if you don't talk about others, Stenberg can tear you and eat it with cream. Is it Stenberg?"
Stenborough smirked while watching Gans lick his lips.
"Boss, the first thing this time is that there are many strangers in this premiere, and these people took the initiative to ask us to attend the premiere. We originally ordered the number of people, and the seats and other things were fixed. When they did this, they disrupted our arrangements. We can't let them sit in the aisle." Gans said with a smile.
I frowned: "You boy explain clearly, what does it mean that many strangers appear, and people have taken the initiative to ask for a visit? Who are they?"
Gans shook his head and said to me with his eyes slanted: "Boss, maybe this matter is related to the last time you invited President Coolidge to our cinema to watch movies. Now, watching movies at DreamWorks No. 1 Cinema has almost become a symbol of identity. This situation originally existed to a certain extent, and with the arrival of President Coolidge, it became more and more out of control. At this premiere, we set a number of 400. Except for a small number of audiences, they are basically Hollywood filmmakers and Grant and Hays, and the guys are almost full. But now, many chaebols and celebrities have squeezed their heads to participate in the premiere. I have dozens of people here."
"I thought there was something big. Isn't it just a few more people? It's very simple. Just add more seats in the theater aisle and a few more cups at the party. Are you still going to yell at me?!" I looked at Gans and shook my head repeatedly.
"But, is it okay for those celebrities to sit on the aisle?! I think it's better to cancel all the seats of those audience members, so that you can handle it." Gans said to me softly.
"Dare you dare!?" When I heard this, Lima stood up with anger on his face: "Dreamworks has only been established for more than a year, you, a bitch, have you become an ungrateful wolf?! Not to mention anything else, some of the audiences are the fellow villagers of Harvey Street, and they have been cancelled. Do you want to live on Harvey Street?! Ingratitude guy! If it weren't for the support of the fellow villagers of Harvey Street, you could drive a small car and drink good wine like now? Without their support, you still don't know where to do things like a dog! In Hollywood, you have become like this?!"
I cursed at Gans, who was so scolded by me that he bowed his head and said nothing.
The office was quiet, and no one dared to look up, while Griffith, Jassel and others looked admiring.
I sighed, adjusted my mentality, and said earnestly to everyone in the room: "Everyone, right, DreamWorks have developed now, we have all changed one by one.
Not to mention anything else, I used to wear a suit but now I have tens of thousands of people in every outfit. Yes, in other people's words, we have succeeded. But some things should not be forgotten, and I must not forget them. Making movies and starting a company not only requires you to have some talent in movies, but at least, you must be a person first. Think about how the fellow villagers on Harvey Street treated us. Now, any employee of DreamWorks stood on Harvey Street and shouted at DreamWorks. It wasn't that a few minutes later that the fellow villagers on Harvey Street came?! For the sake of the celebrities, you should have abandoned them!? You are simply bastards! Yes, those celebrities, rich and powerful, may be far more important to us than the fellow villagers on Harvey Street, which jingled in our pockets, but is that true?! Such celebrities are gone today, tomorrow
You can find a group of people, but the people on Harvey Street are gone. If they are disappointed, they will not be able to find them. DreamWorks will not be able to find their hearts! With them, we can get up again even if we go bankrupt and go bankrupt. Without them, even if we develop into MGM and Paramount, we will fall down one day! So, to this day, I still insist on opening up the three cinemas in Harvey neighborhoods to Harvey people for free, and I still insist on the first place in every premiere
The ten rows of seats in the theater are always reserved for Harvey people! As long as those rows of seats are still there, Harvey's fellow villagers will always stand firmly with us! They are the soil for us to gain a foothold and take root and grow. You actually want to cancel those rows of seats! I tell you, you must keep what I said today in my heart! Those rows of seats are not as good as social celebrities, even if Coolidge comes, he will not have the share of him!"
I finished speaking in one breath and sat down angrily.
"Boss, don't get angry. I was wrong. Am I in a hurry? I must remember your words." Gans came to me pitifully to apologize to me.
I sighed and said, "What I said is really important to the survival and development of our company. Those celebrities should let them sit in the aisle to add seats. Didn't you say there are two things, and the other one?"
Gans smiled gloomyly and whispered: "Boss, let's talk about the rest of things alone."
"What do you have to say alone? Let's just let go of it!" I glanced at him.
Gans looked at me, then looked at the room, and said softly: "Boss, this is related to the two sisters-in-laws."
This sentence made Griffith and others laugh, and then they all looked at various excuses to slip away.
"Tell me! You kid can't be smarter. You have to shake my things up in front of everyone before you can be happy, right?" I stood up and kicked Gans, but he hugged her legs.
"Boss, do you want to listen? If you don't listen, I'll leave." Gans laughed.
"Say!" I was not angry with him at all.
"Boss, didn't you say you wanted to have a dance party to liven up the atmosphere last time? You also said you wanted to have a competition and choose a few best ones, right?" Gans said with a bitter face.
"Yes, that's what I said." I smiled.
Last time Gans complained that the party was a bit monotonous after the premiere, so I gave him this idea. This way, it can not only make everyone happy and revitalize the atmosphere on the scene. Why is it a problem now?
"Boss, I also know where Heidi's sister-in-law and Lenny's sister-in-law came from. Both of them called me and asked to be your dance companion. You said, what should I do?" Gans spread his hands at me helplessly.
I was stumped and ran away in panic: "Gans, you can make whatever arrangements are done. I have no objection. I will leave it to you. I will go down and find something to eat!"
828. It was a cloudy day. I didn’t see the sun since I woke up. The sky above my head was faintly white, and the clouds were gray, like plastic bags thrown in sewage and trampled.
I have been worried about raining since the morning. Today's premiere, if it rains, it will definitely be a big disaster.
But maybe God is doing good. Although the sky is cloudy, it does not mean it rains. Instead, a breeze blew, making the originally stuffy air cooler.
In Stenburg, Gans and his group went to the First Cinema in the morning to arrange the premiere, while I sat in the yard and chatted with Griffith and Dunar.
"This is a ghost weather, our company's movie premiere is full of sunshine. Why is it so sad this time?" Dunar looked up at the sky and smiled.
"You old guy, look at what you said! What does it mean to be bleak? I think this kind of weather is pretty good, lukewarm or hot, just right for the premiere." Griffith glanced at Dunar and complained that he said the wrong thing.
"You can't say anything, my eyelids have been jumping since the morning. Stiller, you kid, go to the First Cinema to help, and remind them to be careful and careful, and that something will happen." I rubbed my eyes and waved to Stiller, and Stiller drove out obediently.
"Dunal, Gary?" I yawned and asked Dunal.
During this period, Dunar was watching them.
“
,They trained very hard, and Mr. Astaire was also very concerned. Everything, Mr. Porter's composition was also in full swing. I heard that two songs have been composed." Dunar reported.
"Tell them I'll take their day off and ask them to go to the premiere. Don't stay in the house all day, it's time to go out and have an event."
"Okay, I'll go now." Dunar patted his butt, humming a song and walked towards the factory shed behind.
As soon as he left, Griffiths and his men dispersed, leaving me alone sitting there.
Just as I felt a little bored and was about to get up and go back to the office, a small car drove in from outside. I was very familiar with the petite red Ford.
The car stopped in front of me, and when the door opened, Heidi walked out of it.
This time, I was completely stunned.
Heidi was once called the "Flower of Hollywood". She took the cheerful and hot route. She wore the clothes with personality and hotness. Usually, she was mainly red and was extremely gorgeous and bold. When she passed by people, she made her eyes straight. But today, the clothes she wore made me not know what to say.
The originally thick and curly hair was neatly combed into a bunch of combed under a brown baseball cap. The upper part was wearing a plaid vest, a white shirt and a tie, the lower part was wearing plaid trousers, a pair of brown boots on her feet, and a brown eyes on her eyes. How could she look like a male director on the set?
"Heidi, are you going to go on horseback or hunt?" I asked blankly as she looked at her quick-witted look.
Rich people like to dress so well when hunting or riding horses. I guess she might have just been playing with a bunch of people.
Heidi walked up to me, put her face up to me, smeared her glasses down, and looked at me from the frame with her eyes, and smiled slightly: "Andre, do I look good in this way?"
I grinned: "I'm not used to it. Your outfit is like a man, but it's far from that 'Hollywood Flower'."
I said this just to anger her because according to her usual personality, I would definitely be anxious when I heard someone say she looks like a man.
Unexpectedly, Heidi was very happy after hearing this, and pulled me to ask, "Really?! Then what kind of man do you think I look like in this way?"
I was stunned for a moment and said strangely: "Heidi, are you okay?"
Heidi glared at her eyes: "If you ask you to say it, just say it, why are you so long-winded?!"
I said, "Like a director holding a director on the set, clamoring for filming."
"Really?!" Heidi jumped up when she heard this, and she was very happy.
"Heidi, are you really okay?! Why are you shocked?" Looking at Heidi who jumped with joy and jumping, I shook my head repeatedly.
"Andre, you are the best words I heard today." Heidi smiled at me, then whispered to me: "I tell you, I have decided to be strong!"
"Aren't you always strong?" I was almost dizzy when she was surrounded by her.
"I mean, I have to do something myself, so I can't let you men bully you. I want to do something like you, with your own abilities, and you won't bully me then, and I will have a status at home in the future." Heidi blinked at me.
I became big and completely big.
"I still don't understand what you mean. What do you mean?! You still say that you will have status at home in the future? Do you have no status in your family now?" I asked ignorantly.
After hearing what I said, Heidi's face turned pale. Seeing her expression, my spine got cold and ran away. But after a few steps, he couldn't run anymore. He felt his neck tight. When he turned his face, he realized that the other end of the tie was in Heidi's hand.
"You really don't understand what I said!? Let me tell you, I have decided not to make clothes and have food to open my mouth anymore. I want to do my own thing! And let me tell you, even if I mess up this matter, you are not allowed to laugh at me for not bullying me when I get married! Otherwise, I will strangle you to death!" Heidi pulled me back with her tie, then straightened my tie again, and tidi tiarized my collar for me.
This time, I understand.
"Miss Heidi, you didn't want to come out to make a movie, right?" I couldn't laugh or cry.
"Yes, why can't it be!" Heidi snorted and raised her eyebrows at me proudly: "One day in the future, in a year or two, when talking about Hollywood, people will involuntarily think of the most famous female director. The people love her and respect her, and history will remember her. When people mention you, they will not say you are director Corleon, but they will only say that he is the film master Heidi. Andre, you just wait for this day to come, hum, when I am shooting movies outside, you will take our son to cook at home, how about it?"
