I pulled a chair and sat down, laughed and said, "What's going on? Why are there so many people today?"

"What's going on?! Don't you know what's going on?" Marskolov licked his lips and said.

"How could I know!? What the hell is it?" I shrugged and looked at Grant.

"You really don't know?" Adolf.>

I smacked my lips and became a little angry: "I, Andre Corleon, have always dared to act, and say I don't know, I just don't know."

When Adolf Chuk and Marskolov saw that I looked serious and didn't look like I was talking lies, they both looked at Grant.

"Andre may really not know about this. Pang Mao and I just received the news from the White House." Grant laughed.

"White House!?" I immediately knew what Coolidge must have done something, and judging from the faces of people like Marskolov, Carrey Rockefeller, this news is probably good news for DreamWorks.

"Yes. This news came from the White House President's Office. Everyone, President Coolidge, in the name of Congress, asked all local cinemas under Hollywood film companies to screen the movie from the third day after the premiere of "The Passion of Jesus". And this is an unconditional thing." Grant said with his hands.

"Puff!" The tea I had just drunk in my mouth immediately spewed out.

I heard it right, Coolidge is really doing this!?

No wonder Marskolov and Kerry Rockefeller's faces were as gloomy as their dead father. When I heard this news, I completely understood their suffering.

For this mid-year movie schedule, Hollywood people competed for four movies. In addition to Griffith's "Caesar" and my "The Passion of Jerusalem" premiered today, the other two are MGM's "King of Kings" and Thunderbolt's "Capture of Beauty". Because "Caesar" was screened in advance, the most fierce competition among these four movies is between "The Passion of Jerusalem", "King of Kings" and "Capture of Beauty".

Although MGM Land's "King of Kings" and "Catching Beauty" in Lei Dian Hua Land has a certain level and has received a lot of attention, it is much worse than "The Passion of Jeremy". In this case, the order issued by Coolidge in the name of Congress is undoubtedly a bad news for Marskolov and Carrey Rockefeller.

Starting from the third day after the premiere of "The Passion of Jeremy", all cinemas must screen the movie. This is only beneficial and unfavorable for film companies like Bivograf, First National Film Company, Warner Bros., and even Paramount, because once the movie is screened, the cinemas will definitely be crowded and the box office is making a lot of money, and these film companies happen to have no movies produced by themselves during this period, so they can be happily accepted.

But for MGM and Lei Dinghua, it is a completely different story. "King of Kings" and "Catching Beauty" will premiere on the same day as "The Passion of Jesus". This order means that their movie can only be screened in the theater for two days and must be played by the opponent's movie. When the opponent's movie is finished, the daylily will probably be cold by then.

So, now that Marskolov and Kerry Rockefeller jumped up and ate me, I can understand.

After Grant said this, the conference room suddenly became quiet.

"Grant, it's not that I have any objections, Andre. It's not that I have any dissatisfaction with you. I think this news is unfair." Marskolov's old face turned red, and after a long time, he said this in a deep voice.

Marskolov has always loved face and being able to make him say this in front of me means that this matter has become a little unacceptable.

"Yes, the film company belongs to us. We can show whatever we want. I'm afraid that even the country has no right to care about us!" Chaplin, who was sitting next to Carrey Rockefeller, couldn't help but say.

When the two of them spoke, no one spoke.

After all, the opposite of this matter has now become DreamWorks and MGM and Thunderbolt.

For others, this matter has little to do with them, so many people shut their mouths and watch the fun with interest.

"Mr. Rockefeller, you can't say that." Todd Browning, who had the best relationship with me among all the owners of Hollywood's film companies, shrugged and stood up first.

"It's no longer a problem with a movie, nor is it a problem with several Hollywood film companies, but it's rising to

There is a problem. Because of Andre's "The Passion of Jerusalem", the conflict between the American Tyrant Church has been clearly put on the table. At this time, it is related to the interests of the country. Our local identity is not the boss of a film company now. First of all, we should be an American, an American. Of course, we have to stand on the side of the US government, and of course we must support the "The Passion of Jerusalem" that attacks the Holy See. We safeguard the interests and dignity of the country. Isn't this a local thing an American should do?!"

"This..." Under Todd Browning's righteous rebuke, both Marskolov and Kerry Rockefeller immediately became speechless.

Yes, in the face of national interests, even if you are full of dissatisfaction, there is no way to do so.

"Old Ma, Mr. Rockefeller, if you have any objections, Mr. Pang Mao and I can call Mr. President to discuss with him." Grant and Pang Mao looked at each other and said to Marskolov and Carrey Rockefeller.

"No, no, no, no!" Marskolov and Kerry Rockefeller waved their hands almost at the same time, with an excited expression.

Just kidding, no matter what, this is also an order issued by the federal government. If Grant and Pang Mao would report back like this, saying that Marskolov and Carrey Rockefeller had an objection to the government's order and did not agree to the implementation. He thought about it with his toes and knew what would happen if he waited for them.

Besides, if this matter is exposed by the media, then the two of them will be even better. Now is a sensitive period, and everyone puts the honor and interests of the country first. At this time, if MGM and Lei Dianhua refuse to implement the federal government's orders, the public will probably be drowned alive by the people's spitting.

Although the screening of "The Passion of Jesus" will cause some losses to MGM and Lei Dianhua, compared with the result of being despised by the public, both Marskolov and Kerry Rockefeller are more willing to accept the first one.

"If you have no objection, then execute it." Grant laughed.

"This..." Marskolov and Kerry Rockefeller frowned at the same time.

"Mayor Grant, see if this can be done, can you and Mayor Pang Mao react to Mr. President. Of course, don't use the names of Mr. Rockefeller and me to tell him about our difficulties. You know, "The King of Kings" is really important to us MGM. If we do this, we may have all the hard work in half a year." Marskolov whispered.

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean. We, Lei Dianhua, have just established it and put all our hopes on this first movie "Catching Beauty". We also hope that the government can think about us more." At this time, Carrey Rockefeller chose to stand with Marskolov.

"This..." Grant and Pang Mao couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

The situation in front of me made me frown.

To be honest, I really hope that MGM and Lei Dianhua will screen "The Passion of Jesus", especially Lei Dianhua. This kind of thing that benefits oneself and causes losses to the opponent is too stupid if I don't do it.

But adding a Marskolov in the middle makes the situation a bit complicated.

The conflict between "The Passion of Jesus" and "The King of Kings" has caused a rift between him and me. The conflict between MGM and DreamWorks has also been highlighted in full. If the conflict is intensified due to the screening problem at this time, the consequences must be very serious.

You should know that the biggest task of DreamWorks is to lead Hollywood Film Company to win this Hollywood defense battle. One of the keys to whether this defense battle can be won is whether the Red Dragon League can be united and whether it can unite and be united to the outside world. MGM Film Company, the first-class Hollywood film company, is undoubtedly one of the most important forces in this league. If MGM breaks away from the league and even rushes to the opponent because of a movie, it will be a bit unworthy of the loss.

I can still get the most from a movie's profit or Hollywood's future.

"Grant, this order from Mr. President. Does it stipulate how long it will take to be screened?" My words calmed down the conference room again.

Marskolov and Kerry Rockefeller looked at me, not knowing what I was going to do, and their expressions were extremely nervous.

Grant smiled: "The president has no regulations on how long it must be displayed, but he said that the time for the screening cannot be displayed should not be too short."

Since this is the case, there is too much room for maneuver.

"Let me do this, I have an offer." I looked at Marskolov and laughed.

"What proposal?" Marskolov and Kerry Rockefeller looked at me and asked at the same time.

"Old Ma and Mr. Rockefeller are right. "The King of Kings" and "Catching Beauty" will premiere on the same day as "The Passion of Jerusalem". If our movie is to be screened on the third day, it means that their two movies will only be released for two days and have to be removed. We all know that this will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to a movie. It will also bring huge losses. So I think this is possible. MGM and Lei Dinghua only show "The Passion of Jerusalem" for two days. They can continue to show their respective movies, while other companies will not move according to the original plan. What do you think?" I finished talking with a smile, and then looked at the people in the room.

For a moment, everyone in the room suddenly had various expressions.

Lemmer, Todd Browning and others showed a very admiration, while Adolf Chuck, Sam Warner and others admired my heart, and Marskolov was so excited that his lips shook. The gratitude was beyond words.

Carrey Rockefeller was a little stunned. He didn't believe his ears at all. He didn't believe that those who regard him as his mortal enemy could let him go! You know, Lei Dinghua is now overwhelmed by the uncooperation movement in the Red Dragon League. If "Catching Beauty" fails again, it would be an unimaginable thing for them. At such an important moment, I didn't put any damage on them, but reached out to pull them, which made Carrey Rockefeller a little unacceptable.

"Andre, have you figured it out?" Grant secretly squeezed at me, and then asked in a deep voice.

Of course I understand what Grant means, just reminds me that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I do this, I will create convenience for my opponent and cause trouble for myself.

"What's the point of thinking clearly about this? They are all filming movies. Everyone understands the pain." I laughed loudly.

Almost everyone nodded in my laughter.

"Okay, I don't have to report Andre's resolution to the president. Pang Mao and I can make the decision. That's it. Other companies are inconvenient according to the original plan. MGM and Lei Dinghua can continue to screen their own movies for two days after the screening of "The Passion of Jesus" is over." Grant's resolution allowed Marskolov and Carrey Rockefeller to be the first to be the first to be a good idea."

One breath.

A group of people walked out of the conference room, and I walked in the middle, and Marskolov came over and hugged my shoulders and whispered: "Andre, thank you for this time, you have helped me a lot."

This old man looked grateful and crying.

I smiled and pointed to Carrey not far ahead. Rockefeller whispered: "If they were just their Lei Dinghua stirring in it without bringing you MGM, I wouldn't say that if I killed me. There is no way, who made us belong to the same alliance? If you were to do this, you would probably do it."

"That's that's it." Marskolov nodded repeatedly, then patted his chest and said to me: "Andre, I remember your great kindness this time. Don't worry, I will definitely repay you in the future."

"Come on. It sounds so nice. If you can make that guy hurt your brain in the future, even if you will repay my love." I pointed to Carrey Rockefeller and laughed at the same time as Marskolov.

When I entered the cinema hall, it was already crowded. When everyone saw the bosses of all the famous Hollywood film companies walked out from behind, many people showed surprise applications on their faces. Such scenes were not common.

"Andre, I really don't understand what you guy is thinking. He actually helped Carrey Rockefeller that guy!" Todd Browning walked to me and lived angrily.

Before I could answer him, Grant patted Todd Browning on the shoulder and said, "Tord, it's too easy for you to think about the problem. Andre is not helping Carrey Rockefeller. It's Ramarskolov. After all, you are all in the same league. If Marskolov gets dissatisfied and leaves your alliance, then you just cry."

"So that's the case. I'm wondering why Mr. Corleon, who has always hated the Rockefeller family, is so generous." Todd Browning smiled embarrassedly.

"You boy, learn a little bit." I raised my fist and smashed Todd Browning, and then walked towards a table in front. There were Marskolov, Adolf Chuck, Sam Warner and others.

At 7:50, the Universal Company's No. 1 theater was full, and everyone's eyes were focused on the huge white screen in front of the theater.

Amid the applause of everyone, Grant walked up to the front platform.

"Ladies and gentlemen! It's me again!" Grant's first words caused a burst of laughter in the cinema.

This old guy is getting more and more funny.

"Everyone, the movie we saw at Universal's No. 1 Cinema today is known as one of the four most popular movies in Hollywood's mid-year film schedule this year. As we all know, David Griffith's last independent masterpiece was "Tears of Flowers". It has been eight years since now. Eight years may not be long for ordinary people, but for a film worker, eight years are extremely precious. In these eight years, I have seen good things.

Mr. Griffith, one of the greatest film directors in Hollywood, has gradually been forgotten. Seeing this once glorious great director, he had to get further and further away from the movie. As the honorary mayor of Hollywood, as an old friend who has witnessed Mr. Griffith's journey along the way, many of the people here may not understand how I felt at that time. That feeling is like the feeling of watching a unique work of art be broken and thrown into the mud, even more unbearable than this!”

Grant's voice became louder and louder, and he became more and more excited. The smile that had originally hung on his face disappeared, and replaced by a trace of sadness.

The cinema was very quiet, and Grant's words deeply shocked everyone's hearts.

The Hollywood man praised Griffith and then abandoned him with his own hands. This incident cannot be said to be the tragedy of Hollywood.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I originally thought that David Griffith would go so bleak, launch the historical stage of Hollywood movies, and then gradually be forgotten, and finally die in an unknown apartment. This is my prediction of his life experience. I have even begun to consider writing a biography about him. Later on this biography, I am still going to write a sentence like this: 'He is a legend created by Hollywood, and it is also the biggest tragedy of Hollywood.' However, two years ago, when DreamWorks was established, I invited him into the company, which gave me a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope for Griffith to stand up again!"

"For two years, DreamWorks has grown up and we also see that this respectable Hollywood filmmaker is still old. He works with Mr. Corleon and has always served as his deputy director, "The People Calling for Help", "Draculous Vampire", "Brave Heart" and so on. He can be seen in most movies at DreamWorks. We are happy to see that his film skills have not only not been reduced, but have emitted a charming light as time and experience increases!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, this movie is the first heavyweight movie directed by David Griffith alone in eight years. Seven or eight months of excellence, a huge investment of $800, and the joint efforts of DreamWorks and Universal have made us look forward to this movie!"

"Some people say that Griffith will make a comeback through this movie and make a big splash. What I want to say is that you are wrong. Griffith has never failed. The past eight years have been the responsibility of us Hollywood people, not his fault!"

"On behalf of all Hollywood filmmakers, on behalf of the Hollywood City Government, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Andre Corleon and to DreamWorks Films. Without you, David Griffith, perhaps now living a down-and-out life in a nursing home. Without you, Hollywood will leave a permanent regret, and Hollywood people will always leave a shadow that cannot be wiped off!"

Grant's words were extremely inflammatory, which made many people in the cinema nod frequently.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day when an old filmmaker in Hollywood returns. Life in the future will be a new beginning for him! Ladies and gentlemen, today is also the day for all of us Hollywood people to atone for their sins, but after this movie, we can take off the heavy rock in our hearts and move forward with our heads raised!"
