At two o'clock in the afternoon, a black flag was raised in front of the Hollywood city government. It was raised by Grant and Hayes at the same time.

Half an hour later, the Los Angeles Municipal Government raised a black flag in the large square in front of the Municipal Government. The person raising the flag was the Speaker of the Council.

The rise of these two black flags represents the attitude of the Hollywood City Government and the Los Angeles City Government on this matter.

Ten minutes after the two black flags were raised, the film companies that were originally unwilling to raise the black flag raised the black flag.

In addition, churches and public institutions have raised the same flags. Many people even raised black flags on their roofs.

The whole of Hollywood, the whole of Los Angeles. It was covered with a piece of black.

NBC reported: "This kind of mourning method is unprecedented! Los Angeles has been covered with black! And those who can enjoy such treatment should be happy!"

Yes, this sentence is right. Munau should feel happy as if it were in the spring.

On the morning of the same day, the funeral committee of DreamWorks began to work and the preparations for the funeral were carried out one by one.

When everyone was busy, I locked myself in the office.

I need a little time to relieve my great sorrow.

"Boss, I have something to do with you." Gans pushed the door and walked in.

"You can do whatever you want." I lowered my head and said.

"It's Munau's business," Gans reminded me.

"What's the matter?" I raised my head and lit a cigarette.

"Monau's personal lawyer is here," Gans whispered.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"For Murnau's will."

I nodded and signaled that the lawyer to come in.

The lawyer gave me a will: "Mr. Corleon, this is Mr. Munau's will during his lifetime."

I opened it and found that this will was the shortest will I have ever seen, with only one sentence on it: I, Munau, everything after my death belongs to the great DreamWorks.

Below is the signature of Munau.

Looking at this will, I couldn't speak.

"Mr. Corleon and Mr. Munau have a total of $5.37 million in his account. In addition, he has a property, which is a list of other specific things, including his personal scripts, manuscripts, etc."

The lawyer handed me a list.

This is the property of Munau.

After the lawyer left, I was stunned when facing this will and this list.

"Gans, what do you think of these things?" I turned to Gans and asked.

"Boss, since it was left by Munau for DreamWorks, then accept it. This is his intention, his final intention." Gans said seriously. I shook my head.

Even if DreamWorks die of poverty, they can’t use this money!

"Let's do this, we keep the personal belongings of Munau, such as manuscripts, and you can deal with other assets, and then take out money from DreamWorks to raise $10 million to establish a Munau Foundation. This is the best memory of Munau." After saying this, I breathed a long sigh.

"Boss, I understand." Gans nodded and went out.

On this day, I did not go home, but stayed in the company. The coffin of Munau was parked in the company, and there were endless people coming to pay their respects.

The city of Los Angeles, the city of Hollywood, major film companies, various public institutions and social organizations... people came from all directions to see Munau for the last time.

I was wearing black clothes and stood next to the coffin of Munau and gave gifts to those who came to pay their respects.

"Boss, Warner is here." The fat man came over and said to me in a low voice.

When I heard this, my eyes suddenly opened.

Then, I walked out quickly.

This abnormal behavior made Gans and the fat man at a loss and hurriedly followed me and walked out.

Outside, it was indeed a native of Warner Bros. Film Company.

The four Warner brothers are ahead, followed by Liu Bieqian, Porter and Lee and many other directors and actors.

But my eyes were all focused on one of them.

Frizzy Lang!

My impression of Fritz Lang was very good before, but now I only have anger in my heart.

If this guy hadn't called Munau to read the script in the middle of the night, this would have been impossible!

"Boss, you have to be calm. This is an accident. Fritz Lang doesn't want this. We can't destroy the harmony between DreamWorks and Warner." Gans suddenly understood my inner thoughts and quickly reminded me.

"It's so kind!" The anger that was held in my heart has made me completely crazy. I still care about these things!?

"Andre, let's come to see Munau. This happened. It's so sad." Sam Warner walked up to me, with a sad face, but also a comfortable face.

"Mr. Corleone, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Mr. Munau wouldn't have happened like this! I should have died!" Fritz Lang burst into tears, snotting and tears.

It can be seen that he was heartfelt and had no false intentions.

For some reason, when I looked at the person in front of me, my anger could no longer be released. I just stared at Fritz Lang blankly, my eyes sluggishly.

"Mr. Corleon, I have no complaints even if you kill me!" Fritz Lang said to me.

I walked over, stared at him coldly, and my whole body shivered.

"Boss!" Gans and the fat man came over, and one of them grabbed my hand. They were worried that I would really take out and shoot Fritz Lang. If that were the case, Hollywood would be lively.

I didn't move, I just stared at Fritz Lang and said a few coldly: "Fritz Lang, remember it for me. From now on, you are not only alive for yourself, but also for Munau! If you apologize in your heart, then you can compensate with your movie!"

My words made Fritz Lang kneel down on the ground and tears fell like rain.

Hollywood people at the venue all bowed their heads and sighed.

"Boss, I thought you would really kill Fritz Lang." After sending away the local man from Warner Bros. Film Company, Gans breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's the use of killing him? Munau won't be resurrected." I shook my head, sat on the chair, and lit a cigarette.

"Gans, Munau's funeral must be attentive." I took a sip of cigarettes and closed my eyes.

Three days later, on May 17, DreamWorks held a funeral for Munau.

Prior to this, Hollywood announced a weekly memorial service.

However, what the people are most concerned about is the funeral of Munau.

The funeral was held in the small church on Harvey Street. From the morning, countless people came from all directions to see off the director they liked.

In the chapel, there were many people attending the funeral. In addition to the owners of these film companies, there were also directors familiar to Mr. Mark Robb, Adolf Chuck, Sam Warner, Carrey Rockefeller, etc., including John Ford, Liu Berchen, Chaplin, Strauheng, Frank Capra, Victor Fleming, etc., who were very familiar to Mr. Murnau, Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Pickford and other stars, who were not absent. In addition, Hollywood honorary mayor Grant Code Executive Chairman Hayes, Los Angeles Mayor Albour Barkley and new governor Harry Truman were all present.

Pope Maria I personally presided over the funeral, and everyone at DreamWorks gathered under the coffin of Munau.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the coffin of the Munau began to depart from the church and transport it to the cemetery on the back mountain of DreamWorks. The journey was not very long, but it was very slow to walk.

I, Gans, Fatty, Stendburg, Stiller, and Bresson, carried the coffin for Munau. When we came out of the church, the people on both sides of the road threw flowers on the road. Many people stood on the balcony and threw petals down. The petals fell from the high places in the sky. They fell on the ground, on our bodies, and on the coffin of Munau.

In front of the coffin, a group of Scottish elderly people blew the melodious bagpipes, and the sound of the flute was so heartbroken that it made people cry.

These old people are the music played by the elderly who played "Brave Heart". The music they played was also the soundtracks that appeared in "Brave Heart".

The sound of the bagpipe made me roll. A few years ago, under the sound of the bagpipe, on the plateau of London, I first met Munau. Now, with the same music, I see him off.

This is the world.

Six people carried the coffin and slowly marched towards the back mountain. Along the way, reporters from major media took photos. Some of them were aiming at the coffin, but more were aiming at the person carrying the coffin at the front.

Robert Bresson.

As we all know, after a person dies, the person who carries his coffin is very particular. Generally speaking, only his friends during his lifetime can have this qualification. In normal times, this matter seems to be no big deal, it is just a funeral ceremony, but today, it is very different. Munau has a very special identity in DreamWorks. After he dies, who will take over his position is one of the focus issues in the media and the public’s discussions these days.

In the previous few days, many reporters asked this question, but they were rejected after taking it. Therefore, people paid special attention to the people who carried the coffin for Munau today. Because in this, the answer to this question may be found in the end.

Sure enough, we did not disappoint these people.

There are so many people in DreamWorks, but there are only six people carrying coffins, so it is very particular to choose who to carry them. Among the six people, I, Gans, Fatty, are the highest leader of DreamWorks. It is undisputed and necessary for us to carry them. Two people in the other places, Stengburg and Stiller, are peers with Munau in DreamWorks. The three of them have a nickname in Hollywood: "DreamWorks Trident". There is no problem with them carrying them. But the remaining one obviously has a special meaning.

At DreamWorks, Robert Bresson is definitely a junior. He is a student in front of Glephis and Stenborough and others. At the same time, Visconti and others are in the same condition as him. Why is it not someone else but him? Moreover, Robert Bresson walked in front of him. This seemed very interesting.

Through this arrangement, it is not difficult to infer the conclusion that DreamWorks has selected a successor for Muno, and this person is the young Robert Bresson.

This is DreamWorks’ answer to everyone.

The coffin moved forward slowly. The two people in the front were Bu Liesong on the left and me on the right. I turned around and looked at Bu Liesong. He stared at the front with a firm and sad expression.

Among all the directors in DreamWorks, he and Munau have the closest relationship, because Robert Bresson and Munau have many similarities with him in terms of personality and the philosophy and pursuit of the film. Since Bresson entered DreamWorks, although I have provided guidance to him many times, the one who helped him the most was always Munau. Munau not only instilled the DreamWorks philosophy and the essence of the DreamWorks school step by step, but also kept him by his side at all times, especially when filming, Bresson was always his helper, and he was always there.

During this process, Buliesong grew up very quickly. From the beginning, he gradually became mature and deeper. Of course, he was inseparable from the hard work and sweat of the Munaud.

Therefore, Buresson regarded Muno as his friend and as a father-like existence. Muno's death was a huge blow to the DreamWorks people. Two of them suffered the biggest blow, one was me, and the other one was Buresson.

As for my arrangement, Buliesson certainly understood the meaning. There were so many people in DreamWorks who chose him to walk in front to carry the coffin for Munau, and he had already told him clearly that in the future, he would be Munau's successor. Munau's big banner will be handed to him.

The young Robert Bresson knew how heavy the burden was, but there was no retreat or hesitation on the young man's face. He straightened his back and looked ahead with a firm look.

Seeing him like this, I let it go
