Chapter 708 The Fantastic Director of "Friends" Chapter 709 Marlene Dietrich!(2/3)

It can be seen that after hearing Griffith's explanation, Victor Fleming was so excited that he couldn't extricate himself.

As an excellent filmmaker, he knows the significance of this TV series very well.

"Mr. Corleon. Can I read your script first?" Victor Fleming looked at me and made a request.

Griffith made a color for me.

Of course I understand what he means. Before the TV series was filmed, the script was the most important thing. If I watched the script for Victor Fleming and this guy didn't work with us and turned around and tweaked it on his own, then we would be in trouble.

But I'm not worried.

"David, give him the script." I nodded at Griffith.

Griffith opened the suitcase he brought with him, took out the script and handed it to Victor Fleming.

"Mr. Corleon, aren't you afraid that I'll plagiarize your script?" Victor Fleming looked at me and smiled.

"Of course I'm afraid, but I know more than anyone else what kind of person Victor Fleming is." I sneered twice.

In fact, except for I believe that Victor Fleming would not do such a thing, even if he plagiarized my script, there is only one Lockettke TV station in the United States. Where can he play such a TV series?

Victor Fleming's expression obviously soothed. He let out a long breath and solemnly took over the script of "Friends" from Griffith.

Victor Fleming looked very seriously, and his expression on his face became more and more excited.

After reading all the script, the guy hurriedly asked me: "It's gone?"

"No, this is just the script of the first season. The rest will be written after the filming of this season." I looked at Victor Fleming and asked, "How is Victor, how do you feel?"

"Okay! Very good!" Victor Fleming licked his lips.

"Then are you interested in directing the first TV series in history?" I amplified the syllables in "The First TV Series in History".

Victor Fleming stared at me, looked for a while before answering, "Yes, but you must agree to me a few conditions."

"Don't say a few, I agree to a few hundred, just say it." I laughed.

"First. The investment cost of this TV series must be guaranteed, and the crew cannot put any pressure on funds."

"promise."

"Secondly, I must ensure that I have complete creative freedom. When I direct this TV series, I don't want anyone to interfere with me, except for sincere opinions."

“This is natural.”

"The third and last one." Victor Fleming looked at me and said word by word: "I will not sign a contract with DreamWorks. If Mr. Chaplin makes a comeback, I will still follow him. Do you agree?"

"Victor Fleming! You are too presumptuous! Our boss invited you so sincerely and even showed you the crucial script. You put forward such conditions! You didn't sign a contract with DreamWorks.

Chaplin made a comeback and followed him. What do you think of our DreamWorks?” Before I could answer, Gans jumped up in anger.

Even Griffith, who had always been kind, was a little angry: "Mr. Fleming, if Chaplin made a comeback when filming this TV series, you gave up halfway, what should we do?!"

Victor Fleming was stunned by Griffith's question. He obviously hadn't thought about this question.

"Don't worry, I won't leave DreamWorks before I finish filming this TV series." Victor Fleming bit.

"Okay, I agree!" I held Victor Fleming's hand.

Damn, this is what I'm waiting for.

Historically, "Friends" was filmed for ten years, that is to say, for ten years, Victor Fleming could only stay in DreamWorks.

Ten years, you, Victor Fleming, is a stubborn iron rod, and I can also grind you into a needle! When you are marked with the factory label of "Dreamworker". I see which film company dares to ask you.

Now, "Friends" has found a director.

Ask your original opponent to make your own movie, the news spreads. I wonder what people will think.

After getting Victor Fleming done, it was a big deal that had ended my heart.

When I brought the news back to the company, a group of people in the company suddenly exploded.

Some agree, some oppose, and some wait-and-see attitude.

In agreement, Victor Fleming is very skilled and it is definitely not wrong to let him direct "Friends".

The opponents were worried that Victor Fleming would run away while he was working. After all, he did not sign a contract with DreamWorks. If we ran away from each other, or did something unfavorable to DreamWorks during DreamWorks, we would cry without tears.

A considerable number of people who are waiting and watching are mainly because they have become dependent on me. Although they feel that this is not safe in their hearts, their experience and intuition tell them that their boss will not be wrong this time.

Three days after he negotiated with Victor Fleming to adjust the conditions, the guy appeared in DreamWorks yard.

Victor Fleming joined DreamWorks and was valued. I don’t know how the media knew about it. The huge media in Los Angeles joined forces and immediately pushed DreamWorks and Lei Dianhua to the forefront of public opinion.

"Carry Rockefeller did something extremely stupid, and he would definitely regret it for his stupid thing. Victor Fleming is a good director, and "The Lost Memory" is the best proof. In time, Victor Fleming might become another pillar of Thunderbolt Film Company, but Carrey Lowe

But he ruined him with his own hands.”

"Facts have proved that in Hollywood, DreamWorks is the paradise of filmmakers. This incident allowed us to see the intrigue between insiders of Hollywood film companies. We have never seen such things in DreamWorks. The people in this company are as airtight as a piece of steel, and they are tightly clamped together like five fingers. If anyone dares to challenge, they will definitely be beaten to the point of bruising and swollen."

"Mr. Corleon invited Victor Fleming back to DreamWorks. When this new director faced setback, he gave him a chance to turn things around and a chance to develop."

In a comment specifically on this incident, the Los Angeles Times mocked Carey Rockefeller for being so angry that he looked ashen after seeing the newspaper.

However, the report from the Citizens newspaper was instructed by Gans.

In this article, The Citizens is doing one thing to do, that is, to put the label of DreamWorks on Victor Fleming.

Of course, this is my idea.

Although Victor Fleming did not sign a contract with DreamWorks, it does not mean that I would not let Hollywood people think so.

"Victor Fleming became a DreamWorks man, which was fortunate for him. DreamWorks has grown stronger again. According to internal news from this newspaper, DreamWorks is planning to shoot an unprecedented new image, which is precisely not a movie."

"Mr. Corleone and Edward Nobel jointly serve as screenwriter, and of the six leading actors, there are now five people, Humphrey Bogart, Miss Garbo, Miss Natalia, Galley Cooper and Visconti, and the remaining one. According to relevant people in DreamWorks, it will be a mysterious figure."

"This movie may have been the 1929 DreamWorks and even the student handed over the guide to Victor Fleming. It was a person who had just joined DreamWorks. Such courage and choice made us sincerely admire Mr. Corleone's courage!"

"Victor Fleming, a rising director's superstar in DreamWorks, will find his value in DreamWorks!"

The article "Citizens" is written with emotion and the title is: "Mr. Corleon himself is a screenwriter, DreamWorks wants to make a new film. Victor Fleming abandons secrets and becomes a director." The newspaper was immediately sold out.

There are two reasons why people are interested. One is that DreamWorks actually started filming a new film, and Andre Corleon is the screenwriter, and the other is that the director of this new film is Victor Fleming, who has just been swept out by Lei Dinghua.

The people were excited, and the new films of Victor Fleming and DreamWorks have also become topics to talk about on the streets and alleys.

While people were talking about it, Victor Fleming was naturally regarded as a member of DreamWorks and became a weapon for people to mock Lei Dianhua.

My purpose, to some extent, has been achieved.

Carrey Rockefeller was indeed furious about this matter.

Los Angeles One interviewed him about this matter. On the radio, Carrey Rockefeller cursed Victor Fleming and called Victor Fleming: "He is a villain who only knows how to take shortcuts and has no real talent." He said, "Lei Dinghua will never welcome him!"

His remarks made many people laugh. Because of how talented Victor Fleming is, people have long seen it from his "The Lost Memory". Carey Rockefeller said that Victor Fleming has no real talent and knowledge, and is obviously deceiving himself.

And the words from Carrey Rockefeller made me overjoyed. OK, Lei Dinghua will always close the door to Victor Fleming, but I can't beg for a child!

Carrey Rockefeller's scolding made Victor Fleming helpless. This guy did not stand up and scolded Carrey Rockefeller, but lowered his head and started working honestly.

On the day I entered the DreamWorks, I immediately appointed Victor Fleming as the director of "Friends" and gave him full responsibility for the filming of the film. He enjoyed the freedom to select actors according to his own wishes and set up the crew. This right surprised many people and even moved Victor Fleming himself.

"Mr. Corleon, don't worry, as long as I stay in DreamWorks for a day, I will do my best to shoot this TV series!" When Victor Fleming said this to me, he was sincere.

That's what he said and did it.

After taking over the crew, Victor Fleming moved into the company and was with the crew. Edward Nobel became his assistant and also served as the deputy director. I became the producer of this TV series. The photographer fell on the famous and widely praised Dihuang Zongzhan in Hollywood cameras because of the invention of the filter.

The first thing Victor Fleming did was to get the script in. The three of us revised the script two or three times from beginning to end, almost one word and one word must be done, considering it.

Victor Fleming liked this TV series so much that he kept the script in a kraft paper bag, and he even brought it with him to eat and go to the bathroom.

If there were many people who suspected Victor Fleming when he first joined the company, but after seeing his serious and responsible work attitude, no one questioned him anymore.

After the last revision of the script, Victor Fleming began to discuss with me about the remaining actress of the six starring actors.

"Mr. Corleone, there is only one of the six characters. If you can't find a suitable actor in this character, the entire TV series will not be filmed." Victor Fleming looked at me with an anxious expression.

I smiled bitterly: "Victor, I know you are anxious. Actually, I am more anxious than you. But I really can't find an actor suitable for playing this role now. Don't talk about me, even the people in the DreamWorks director team have been thinking about it these days. DreamWorks, Global, and Crescent. All the actors in the three companies gathered together, but they didn't find the right one. Also, go to my office to take a look. In the drawer and on the bookcase, there are not 8,000 photos received, and there are 10,000 photos. My eyes are all

, and it wasn't certain. Although the girls were all very beautiful, they seemed to be wrong, and many of them had no experience in performing."

When it comes to the candidate for actors, I have a headache.

Victor Fleming nodded and said, "It is indeed very difficult to pick an actor who is suitable for this role. I even thought about all the good actors in Hollywood, but in the end I got nothing. But boss, we can't just drag it on like this."

"Of course I can't ask, but there's really no way. Otherwise, do you want one?" I pushed this problem to Victor Fleming.

Victor Fleming frowned and said, "I have two of them, but I don't know if it can be done."

"Say. If you have a way, say!" As soon as I heard that Victor Fleming had a way, my eyes immediately shone.

Victor Fleming sat down on the sofa opposite me and looked at me and said, "Mr. Corleon, the first method is the old method. I guess you know it, which is to change this role in "Friends" so that it can be easily played."

"No! No! Absolutely not!" Before Victor Fleming could speak, Edward Nobel beside him jumped up suddenly.

This TV series was produced by Edward Nobel, and every character in it was thought out by him and I little by little. How could Victor Fleming be allowed to change it?

And I would not agree with Victor Fleming's proposal.

In addition to the same idea as Edward Nobel, I think more about the TV series itself. It can be said that the remaining character Phoebe Buffy is a very distinctive character in "Friends". If it is changed, the expressiveness of the entire TV series will be greatly reduced. In addition, once the script is filmed, the lines and plot directions in it are based on the character's personality. If the character's personality is changed, it means that the entire script will have another big move, which not only delays time, but also affects the artistic expression of the TV series.

This method will never be adopted in Hollywood when the movies are forced to do so. For other film companies, it may be a way out, but DreamWorks never adopted this method.
