.     0th Century Film Company suddenly announced;: L's change

This news has attracted a lot of attention.

For a long time, the third-level film company in the eyes of Hollywood and even the United States has been a film company that often brings surprises to people inadvertently.

The films invested in by this film company are not very expensive, but almost every movie is particularly interesting. The reason for this is that on the one hand, it has a lot to do with the unique management method of Bescy Lof, the owner of the 20th century film company. Bescy Lof is a person who advocates freedom very much. It can be said that he may be the person who has the least demands of the actors and directors of all Hollywood film companies. Everyone is equal in front of him. If you want to be praised, then you can take out your own things, and once he is recognized, he will let you do it.

Another reason is that Kim Vidor, the first director of the 20th century film company, has become a qualified film director in Hollywood. Kim Vidor is particularly respected by Hollywood filmmakers in terms of film talent and in dealing with people. He has a kind personality and can get along well with his colleagues. More importantly, he has a broad mind and will never be as good as Hitchcock who is better than himself.

During his tenure as the first director of the 20th Century Film Company, his promotion of the company brought young actors to the screen and became the absolute core of the entire company's production team. More importantly, King Vido's own films have received too much honor for the 20th Century Film Company. Some even said this sentence: "There is no King Vido's 20th Century Film Company, not a real 20th Century Film Company." Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it is an indisputable fact to some extent.

However, the 20th Century Film Company suddenly announced the reform of the production team, which was very related to King Vido.

On the same day, Bessi Lof announced that he would disrupt the previous production team structure, cancel the position of the first director, and appoint King Vido as the artistic director of the 20th Century Film Company, who is fully responsible for filming

As soon as Kim Weido took office, he immediately started to take action. He began to rectify the production team of the 20th Century Film Company and introduce new people.

A group of young actors and directors were absorbed by King Vido into the 20th Century Film Company, some of which graduated from the Corleon Film Academy.

Among these people who were recruited into the 20th Century Film Company, there was one person who caught my attention.

Henry Fonda!

When I saw this name, I was completely stunned. My first reaction was: This guy only entered Hollywood in the 1930s. At this time, he should have performed a stage play on Broadway, why did he go to the 20th century film company?

In history, this person who was named the most famous American actor in one year, and with his superb performance, he was called the veritable Oscar winner. His works, including "The Grapes of the Rage", "12 Angry Man", and "Golden Pond", were about to die. He was able to win the Academy Award for Best Actor with "Golden Pond" while installing a pacemaker. He is known as the Miracle in Hollywood history. His daughter Jane Fonda is also a well-known actress in Hollywood history.

Such a great man was actually pulled by Jin Vitor to the 20th Century Film Company, and this time he made a fortune.

After some investigation, I found out that Henry Fonda was the first student to be admitted to the Performance Department of the Corleon Film Academy. The reason why I didn't find him was because this guy changed his name when he was admitted.

He studied at the Corleon Film Academy for less than a year and started playing supporting roles at major film companies in his spare time, hoping to win the favor of famous directors, but his luck seemed to be very bad and he repeatedly hit a wall. He was a very dramatic encounter with Jin Weido. Henry Fonda went to the tavern to drink. It was the time when the Christmas season in Hollywood was lively in Hollywood. The tavern was very messy. Henry Fonda was drinking and scolding Hollywood. The person sitting opposite him was very unhappy about his behavior and said a few words. As a result, Henry Fonda took the glass in his hand and knocked the person opposite down and was taken to the police station.

Needless to say, the person he knocked down was nothing but Jin Weido.

Jin Weido, who was smashed like a pig's head by a bottle of wine, was very interested in this young actor. Not only did he not let him stay in the police station, he paid for bail on his own. Jin Weido brought Henry Fonda back to the 20th Century Film Company and arranged some plays for him. Although it was just a role, Henry Fonda surprised Kim Weido with his handsome appearance and masculine performance, and he signed him down.

The things about Henry Fonda made me smile bitterly.

The Corleon Film Academy worked hard to train, but was finally picked up by Jin Weido.

In addition to introducing a group of actors, the 20th Century Film Company also introduced several eye-catching ones, namely Frank Boshaqi.

Unlike Henry Fonda, who is still unknown, Frank Boshaqi is a well-known director in Hollywood today. In 1913, he entered the film industry and relied on some small-cost filmmakers to grow bigger and bigger in his career. The 1919 "Harmony" won him a lot of praise from Hollywood, and in 1926, "The Seventh Edition" was favored by major Hollywood film companies.

After filming "The Seventh Heaven", Frank Boshaqi joined Fox Film Company for a while, but this period became his nightmare. Fox Film Company's somewhat old-fashioned style made this director, who has always been famous for his imagination, feel tremendous pressure.

Frank Bosch's films are considered Hollywood romanticism. He kindly uses poetic tone to show beautiful love stories. He invented a shooting method that is widely adopted by Hollywood filmmakers, which is to use soft focal length and cover the lens with a tulle, making the lens soft and romantic.

Frank Bosch's film style made him and Jin Weido make friends. The two hit it off at first sight, and as time goes by, their friendship becomes stronger and stronger.

So when King Vitor became the artistic director of 20th Century Film Company, as Frank Bosha resolutely left Fox Film Company and invested in 20th Century Film Company:|

Of course, his approach was warmly welcomed by King Vido.

The adjustment of the 20th Century Film Company, following closely behind Lei Dianhua and Warner Brothers, undoubtedly fueled the reform trend of Hollywood.

In the 20th Century Film Company's colleague, another film company, he was not idle either.

As the second-class film company in Hollywood, Fox

No one dares to underestimate the strength of Sidi. Since the company's boss Fox won a Golden Feather Award at the award ceremony, he has become full of energy and confidence, shouted the slogan of advancing to the first level, and then began to adjust the company.

Unlike other companies, Fox Films did not cancel the first director to adjust the production department, but instead spent a lot of money to recruit a group of directors.

Although these directors are not first-class directors in Hollywood, they still have some talent in films. Among them, there are two people who have to mention them.

The first person is Ilia Kazan. In history, he was a famous Hollywood film director and screenwriter. "The Death of a Salesman", "The Street Car on Desire", "The Storm on the Shore", "The Nothing in the World" and other films. He won the Oscar for Best Director twice. In one year, he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for his great contribution to Hollywood. Such a filmmaker is simply a machine gun.

But now, at the age of 20, he was able to be favored by Fox Films because of Fox Films' favor. Ilia Kazan, a versatile man, is not only very talented in directors, but also an excellent screenwriter and good writing articles. Since 1927, he has been working as Fox Films' assistant. In addition to filming movies with him, he is mainly responsible for writing and revising scripts for Fox Films.

Fejos had a good impression of this young man with a round face and smiled funny, especially when he was thinking about the script, Elijah Kazan was always able to give him extremely wonderful suggestions. When he was busy filming, Fejos would sometimes give Elijah Kazan a camera to temporarily serve as the deputy director. Although it was just a bit of work, Elijah Kazan could complete it well every time. Over time, Fejos discovered that this young man of Greek descendants, perhaps because of his ancestors, had a very profound thought on the artistic nature of the film, and his grasp of the overall structure of the film, especially the rhythm, was not even his opponent. Therefore, the opportunity for the film company to expand was enthusiastically recommended to Fox, and Elijah Kazan naturally successfully entered the Fox he had always dreamed of and became a formal member.

Another person recruited by Fox Films is Lewis Myerstone. This filmmaker may not be familiar with ordinary people, but when it comes to one of his movies, no one doesn't know. "There's no war on the West Front", which was later named one of the top ten best war movies.

Lewis Milestone is the kind of low-key and introverted person, like a piece of gold, buried deep in the sand, and it is extremely difficult to find him, but Fox Films has lost good luck this time.

When Fychos filmed "Lonely" in 1928, he felt a headache. He didn't know how to make the end look perfect and powerful. In order to complete this end, Fychos thought hard and the crew fell into a state of stagnation. For nearly a week, Fychos resolutely lost his mind, even Ilia Kazan, who had been following him, was helpless. Then, just as the two of them were dazed at the camera, a crew member came over and handed Fychos a few pieces of paper. He said to Fychos: "Sir, end this movie quickly, I promised my wife to go back to accompany him tomorrow."

Those few pages made Fei Qiaos successfully finish the movie after the movie was screened. The whole movie was talked about by Hollywood filmmakers.

And the man handed the note to Fejos was Lewis Myerstone.

In Hollywood, such legendary things happen almost every day.

This is a place full of miracles. Perhaps the most inconspicuous person around you will fly to the branches and turn into a phoenix tomorrow. Here, you cannot underestimate anyone, because if you do that, you will find that you are actually a pitiful person. Lewis Milestone can explain this problem very well.

If I was surprised by the appearance of people like Lewis Myerstone, Elia Kazan and even Henry Fonda, then some people's appearance made me stunned.

But this happened to a film company that has now become somewhat declining.

Columbia Film Company, a film company that once created countless glory but has become a little lifeless, also shone with a burning light in this reform tide, this light is entirely because of a newly recruited actor.

One day in January, Frank Capra, the first director of Columbia Films, drove his car to the Los Angeles Pier to play. When they passed a beach, the car broke down and couldn't move forward. Frank Capra had to leave the car with his lover and go to the beach to blow the sea breeze.

The beach was filled with people. Kaplan went to find someone to repair the car. When he came back, he found that his beautiful lover was missing. When he had worked hard to find the woman, he found that she was leaning in the arms of a man and kissing happily.

Frank Capra is a famously irritable man in Hollywood. According to his temper, if he encounters such a thing, the man will definitely be beaten to death by him. But Frank Capra did not do this this time.

He took the man to a nearby tavern. When they came out, people were surprised to find that the two of them were called brothers and brothers, just like good friends.

This man was then brought back to Columbia Film Company by Frank Kaplan and became a first-line actor that Columbia Film Company decided to build with all its efforts.

His name is Clark Gable!

I'm afraid no one will know this name in later generations, because if you tell others that you don't know Clark Gable, others will ask if you are from Mars.

The romantic and dashing male lead in "Gone with the Wind" is a fabulous Hollywood character.

In history, he became famous overnight with Frank Capra's "One Night of Romance", becoming the "national idol" of the American people, and won the Best Oscar Award for Actor of the Year. Later, he frequently received a small gold man at the Oscar Awards ceremony, which has become a common thing for him.

Looking at Hollywood, the ups and downs of decades, the stars are as bright as stars, but there is only one real movie emperor, that is, Clark Gable. In 1937, in the national vote of the movie queen, Clark Gable became the only official movie emperor in Hollywood history with an absolute advantage of 2 million votes!

During World War II, Clark Gable participated in the US Air Force. Because of his multiple flight missions, he was quickly promoted from Private to Colonel. In the later stages of World War II, he even participated in the flight mission to bomb Berlin. In order to capture him alive, his fanatical movie fan, Hitler, sent three flight squadrons to return without success.

Such a person can no longer be summarized by movie stars, because he has almost become a god

exist.

Although history has changed a lot because of my arrival, it seems that Clark Gable's fate has not changed at all.

I have been secretly paying attention to him, and I have never neglected it, but I have never found this person. He met Frank Capra like in history and became a first-line actor in Colombia. With him, I think it is not only Frank Capra who will become a first-class movie master. I am afraid that the Colombia Film Company, which was already dying, will probably soar into the sky!

History seems to have made a joke with me.

Clark Gable joined Colombia and also recommended an actress to Frank Capra.

This actress has a good relationship with Clark Gable, and judging from Clark Gable's romantic personality, they may have a very unusual relationship.

This actress is named Claude Kowlbai.

French American came to the United States with her parents at the age of six. She started to star in Taiwanese dramas on Broadway in 1925. With her small figure and five levels, she became a celebrity on Broadway. In 1927, she was discovered by Ramon's scout and was noticed by Paramount Film Company, but she seemed not very interested in movies. In Hollywood, she met Clark Gable by chance, and this time she joined Columbia Film Company.

In history, Claude Korbai was a popular female star in the 1930s and 1940s. She has participated in many movies, including "Cleopatra". In 1934, she played the leading role in Frank Capra's movie "One Night of Romance" and won the Academy Award for Best Actress that year.

Frank Capra, Clark Gable, Claude Korbai, these three people who were already closely linked in history were finally together, which only made me sigh helplessly.

It can be said that during this period, the movies have appeared frequently, and it is like mushrooms after a rain.

I don't know if there are any such amazing characters in the future.

On January 10, a message came from Universal Film Company that made me very happy.

In the expansion of major Hollywood film companies, Universal also recruited an actor.

When other film companies were making great contributions, almost no one paid attention to Universal Film's actions. Lemmer did not make drastic reforms. In fact, he could not use reforms. Because he had finished the work of other film companies under my instructions a year ago.

However, the behavior of major film companies recruiting a large number of talents obviously made Lemmer a little unable to sit still. The old man spread all the scouts in the Universal Film Company, and even Howard Hawks and William Wheeler were driven out by him to find actors.

For Universal, although there are good directors like Howard Hawks and William Wheeler, truly excellent actors are still scarce.

They really found one.

I have to admire William Wheeler as an absolute mentor. In history, this guy was famous for discovering Audrey Hepburn. In fact, he has a unique talent in observing actors.

At the request of Lemmerland, William Wheeler traveled all over Hollywood, but in January, there were scouts in almost every corner of Hollywood, and major film companies had already searched every inch of this place.

Under such circumstances, William Wheeler was naturally empty-handed. However, when he was resting in the cafe, a newspaper he grabbed casually made his eyes lit up.

The newspapers are not news about celebrities or promotional photos of movies, but social news.

The content of this news is: On a farm near Los Angeles, a cowboy single-handedly killed five robbers who came to rob, but he was unscathed.

Such news is common in newspapers, and Westerners like to read such news. Unlike other news, this report has a photo posted, which made William Wheeler's eyes lit up.

In the photo, there is only one silhouette. He is lying on the fence of the farm, wearing a shabby denim dress, holding a cigarette in his mouth, wearing a hat low, looking into the distance, his eyes calm.

This young man was very much loved by William Wheeler. He quickly contacted the newspaper reporter, and accompanied by the reporter, he came to the farm outside Los Angeles.

William Wheeler talked to the young man for a whole afternoon. At the age of 27, he, Dana, both immigrants from the UK, grew up on a farm and lived a life on horseback. What William Wheeler did not expect was that the young man had even acted in a movie.

In 1926, he came to Hollywood and played supporting roles in several movies. Because the movies he participated in were all low-cost movies, his performance did not attract people's attention. Then he was recruited as an actor by Callum Film Company, of course, only a supporting role. After Callum Film Company was annexed by Crescent, he lost his job and had to spend many years continuing to buy a pitiful farm outside Los Angeles to live his previous life.

William Wheeler invited him to join Universal Film Company, and the young man readily agreed.
