"We want to hear what Mr. Corleon said!"

...

People pushed me out.

At Grant's gesture, I stood up.

"Everyone, do you know that a citizen has both power and obligation?" My words made the people in the hall look at each other.

No one understands what I mean.

"The law gives you the power you enjoy, such as your private property is sacred and inviolable, you have the right to freedom of speech, but the law also stipulates that you have obligations. It stipulates that if you commit a crime, you can impose sanctions on you! Things are good and bad, which is natural. The establishment of the Harvey Award is to motivate Hollywood filmmakers to create excellent movies, to promote the development of Hollywood, and the establishment of the Golden Plum Award is to some extent, also to inspire Hollywood filmmakers to create excellent movies, and to make Hollywood more brilliant. It is a whip, a horse whip. I believe that under its whip, the Hollywood horse can run faster and farther."

"So. Our DreamWorks firmly agrees."

I decided to leave the hall silent.

DreamWorks agreed to the establishment of a Golden Plum Prize, causing the situation in the hall to fall down immediately.

For those representatives of social organizations, the Golden Plum Award can not only add some topic of conversation and fun to the public, but also give people more understanding and understanding of Hollywood movies, so they naturally agree very much.

For those big companies with excellent performance, such as MGM and Paramount, the award setting will basically not have any images for them. These two Hollywood super companies have long established their unshakable prestige. They will not worry about falling into their reputation just because of a one or two movies.

As for those small companies, they are not afraid, but they are eager to set up the Golden Plum Award. You know, the most common thing about these companies is the box office. If their movies win the Golden Plum Award, it will undoubtedly mobilize audiences across the United States. People will definitely see what the worst electronic music is. In that way, their box office will be very impressive.

Therefore, the establishment of the Golden Plum Awards has been approved by most people. Except for film companies such as Lei Dianhua, Fox, and Warner Bros., they are not as thick as MGM Paramount in terms of prestige or capital. Once their movies are awarded the Golden Plum Award, the side effects will be much greater than the box office profit they get. Therefore, Sam Warner, Fox, Carrey Rockefeller and others do not have to agree to the establishment of this award.

But if they don’t agree, it doesn’t mean that the Golden Plum Award cannot be established.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think it's better to vote according to the usual methods of the conference." Grant stood on the podium and made a suggestion that was supported by the vast majority of people.

Then I heard Carrey Rockefeller sigh not far from me.

After a round of voting, the results were naturally expected.

The conference announced the establishment of the Golden Plum Award from 1929 with overwhelming votes.

Subsequently, the conference discussed the specific issues in a complicated way, such as deciding to announce the results of the Golden Plum Award the day before the Harvey Award was announced, deciding to the selection method, etc.

The establishment of the Golden Plum Award appeared in major newspapers in Los Angeles and even the whole country the next day.

People are full of curiosity and incomparable interest in this award.

"The Golden Plum Award, this may be the only award ever. We believe that with this award, Hollywood will appear even more

In a prosperous situation, at least major film companies will become more working hard.

"This is an original Hollywood! Great originality! I have never heard of buying one that can award bad movies. But this can remind those filmmakers and film companies that make bad movies, so that they can open their eyes and let them know what kind of movies are good movies and meaningful movies."

...

Similar words can be seen everywhere in newspapers, and the public's welcome attitude towards the Golden Plum Awards was far beyond the expectations of all Hollywood filmmakers.

The Golden Plum Awards have made Hollywood lively for a long time, and the consequences are that many companies have begun to re-form their own plans for filming in the year.

Columbia Film Company decided to invest in Frank Capra's new work "The Ugliest Land Man in the World". Investing $200. This is a big deal. The starring of the movie is no one else, but it was Clark Gable, a subsidiary of Capra. With him, Capra's movie is difficult to lose money. In 1928, Columbia's movie was unknown. So at the end of January, they started filming first, not only announced the news in a high-profile manner, but also opened up a large-scale situation.

Promotion. For a time, Clark Gable's posters appeared in every corner, and the new actor frequently appeared in the newspaper. With his masculine face, the filming of the movie was just started. Clark Gable was warmly welcomed by the audience, and even a cast selection of actors called "You want to leave a window for him in the middle of the night" was held in Los Angeles. Clark Gable was also on the list. This result made John Cohen, the owner of Columbia Film Company very happy.

Henry Fonda, a new actor who just completed his strength and completed his strength, made an unexpected investment in 120 yuan to film the movie "River" directed by Frank Boshaqi. Henry Fonda, a new actor who just joined the 20th century film company, played the male lead. It is said that the script of this movie was tailored for Henry Fonda. Henry Fonda, known as the Hollywood low-cost film screenwriter Di Jin Weido, and Fonda, who has a superb directorial level. In addition, a future actor Henry Fonda, the combination of these three people is definitely very dazzling, and this "River" may not be underestimated.

In addition to these two small companies and large companies have also begun to implement the year-on-year filming plan in full swing.

MGM Film Company invested 300 to film "The Land Girls of God" directed by Siss Dimil. Since the success of "Chicago", Siss Dimil has definitely become the unshakable leader of MGM. For him, the senior executives of MGM Film Company are 100% supportive. If you want money and people, it seems that Siss Dimil wants stars. Marskolov will also pick them for him.

Warner Bros. Film Company followed closely behind and announced the investment of a 200-cost movie, the name of which is "Fatty and Skinny". It is directed by Porter Lee and starred in the Warner Laurey and Hartfield.

This is the first time Porter Lee directs a real drama film. This is undoubtedly a big challenge for the director who started with a documentary filming, but Porter Lee has shown great confidence and excitement when facing the media, and praised Laurey and Hart, saying that this movie will definitely become the focus.

However, Hollywood people seem to be worried about this movie where all newcomers take the lead. Some people even joked in the newspaper whether Warner wanted to book the Golden Plum Award early.

He almost lost all his face at the third Harvey Awards. This time he invested $170 to shoot the movie "Lost Memory Man" directed by Victor Fleming. It is said that all new actors are used, and the script was written by Victor Fleming himself.

The practice of Leidianhua Film Company is very intriguing, because since the company was established, the first step of filming every year has basically been Hitchcock's movies, and this year, they can't see Hitchcock's name at all.

This means that Hitchcock is likely not to shoot a movie in the first half of the year. Of course, it is also ruled out that he will write a good script and win over Carrey Rockefeller.

As for Chaplin, he had not heard of him going to shoot a new film. He only knew that this guy was very busy after he became Lei Dianhua's director. In this way, the person who took on Lei Dianhua's main rapport has become Victor Fleming.

At the beginning of 1929, the atmosphere in Hollywood was the most leisurely time for major Hollywood film companies. After a busy year, people like to give themselves a vacation to cultivate themselves at the beginning of the New Year. So basically before March, I rarely heard of companies investing in important movies, but this year is different. At the beginning of the New Year, major film companies started to move.

Major film companies are planning their company's work in a scrupulous manner, so DreamWorks is naturally not idle.

At the beginning, Stenberg gave me a script.

When I saw the name of the local script on his script, I grinned.

The name of this movie is "Blue Angel"!

In history, "Blue Angel" is Germany's first audio film. It is also rated as one of the "100 Best Films" since the birth of the movie. This movie is the most important movie in Stenberg's life, and it also makes the film starring Marlin Diedley become a famous superstar in the international film industry.

This movie, changed from a novel by a German writer, tells the story of a scheming professor who fell in love with a beautiful woman in a tavern who married her as a wife but ended up killing her because she could not tolerate her wife and other men.

"Blue Angel" has become a classic film history and geography with its unique charm and Marlene Diedley's performance, but when Stendburg brought this script to me, I was a little at a loss.

Now Stenberg has not returned to Germany, so this movie cannot be the first audio film in German history as in history. Now Germany has a audio film, and Marlin Diedley is still in Germany. It is impossible to participate in this movie. More importantly, an important reason why this movie is loved by the audience is that Marlin Diedley is charming and charming inside.

The image of women. In other words, the movie Stenberg in history is a masterpiece, but now even AV movies are no longer surprising to the audience. Whether "Blue Angel" can win countless audiences at this point like in history is probably a big discount.

"Boss. This movie is adapted from a novel by a German writer. I like this novel very much. See if you can cast it." Stenberg looked at me, his face full of longing.

Looking at him with longing face, I couldn't help but shake my head.

If I don't vote for the film, I'm afraid Stenborough will die of disappointment. Since Stiller won the Silver Feather Award for Best Director, Stenborough has been holding back all his energy and wants to win one this year. In this case, if I pour a basin of cold water on him, it will undoubtedly hit him hard.

But the current situation makes me very worried about this movie.

With a hint of uneasiness, I opened the script in my hand.

After reading more than ten pages, my heart suddenly felt relieved.

Although the story is still the same, Stenberg is no longer the Stenberg in history.

The whole script is ups and downs, especially in the discussion of the characters' inner world, and the professor's love and cruelty towards his wife, and even a bit deformed and perverted mentality is fully displayed. It has a typical Freudian thinking. If this movie comes out, I think it will definitely make Hitchcock, who has always regarded himself as a psychological film master, shut up from now on!

"Boss, how about it?" Stenberg asked me nervously.

I put down the script and asked Stenborough one of the most wanted questions: "Who do you want to use for the heroine?"

Although I really want to tell Stengburg that there is an actor named Marlin Diedley who is definitely suitable for this movie in Germany. But obviously I can't do this.

"The heroine? Of course it is Betty Davis. Looking at the whole Hollywood, she is the only actress who can complete this character. And when I write this movie, I write it specifically for her." Stenberg laughed.

His words made me nod.

Betty Davis's strength. I know very well, she will act. This movie will definitely succeed.

This means that the "Blue Angel" in history will completely change, and the "Malin Diedley" who became popular with this movie may find it difficult to have a future where she will make a name for herself.

"Okay. Go and prepare." I handed the script to Stenborough and snapped my fingers.

"Boss, do you mean you agreed to the bid?!" Steinberg was a little unbelievable in his ears.

"Of course. Why? Don't you want to do this?" I laughed.

"I think! Why don't I think! This time, I have to win a Best Director Silver Feather Award!" Stenberg smiled evilly.

Stenberg's "Blue Angel" was launched. DreamWorks also started to get busy after a month of cultivation. However, there was no sign of me in the busy crowd.

I don't seem to be used to filming movies at the beginning of the year.

But next, something kept me busy.

On the 23rd, when Baird and Gans appeared at me with the senior executives of DreamWorks: My eyelids jumped violently.

Intuition tells me that something must have happened.

"Tell me. Good things are bad things. I am mentally prepared." I put the pen in my hand on the desk and looked at the faces of a group of people.

Gans poked Baird's waist and signaled Baird to say first.

Baird was almost twisted at this time, and he said almost word by word: "Boss. Good thing! Good thing!"

"Seeing that you're almost cramping, I knew it was a good thing! Tell me!" I leaned on the chair and laughed.

Baird swallowed hard and said, "Boss, our TV tower is built!"

"What?? Say it again!" I jumped up from the chair.

"Boss, our TV tower is built, and the test has just been completed this morning!" Baird's eyes were filled with tears.

I looked at Baird and was immediately stunned.

Since the DreamWorks Technology Research Department completed the TV signal transmission and acceptance test, which enabled the TV to be achieved near Harvey Street. I gave Baird a new task, which is to build a high-frequency TV signal transmission tower. Although I don’t know how far the TV signal can be transmitted after their TV tower is built, if I want to build a large entertainment and media empire, I must complete the popularization of TV.

Although the TV has been successfully researched now, it is still limited to the laboratory. If it cannot be applied to the people, it will not be able to realize the value I expected.

Baird's construction site is the first step to realizing the entertainment and media empire.

Therefore, DreamWorks supported this project very much. It invested $500 in the front and back, and summoned a large number of personnel to carry out construction and research.

During this period of construction, on the hillside behind DreamWorks, the sound of the machine construction site was deafening. Various mechanical vehicles were shuttled back and forth. A TV tower of dozens of meters high stood majestic. Two 7-highland buildings were built around, which was the TV station work building.

Of course, the reporters from major media in Los Angeles were very curious about DreamWorks. They tried every means to know what was being tinkered with on the small hill behind DreamWorks. But in an interview with DreamWorks, they found that no matter what they asked, DreamWorks never mentioned this matter.
