Chapter 1215 "Titanic", killing the Quartet Chapter 1216 Cut the throat of the Rockefeller consortiu(1/2)

(Strauhen's "Greed", this movie is considered to be the calmest movie in this Christmas movie schedule. It is said that this movie is calm because of Straauhen's attitude when he created this movie. In Hollywood, there are not many people who treat movies as pure as Straauhen.

Strauheng's previous films were not very successful, either the response was mediocre, or the box office losses were severe. Such achievements also made Strauheng's position in MGM Film Company plummet. For the leadership of MGM Film Company, Strauheng is out of date, and it should be a matter of time before withdrawing from the Hollywood historical stage. This can be seen from Marskolov's attitude towards Strauheng. Previously, Strauheng

It is highly valued by Marskolov. Strauheng has been staying at MGM since its establishment and has made great contributions to the development of MGM. Because of this, Marskolov has always been good at Strauheng, at least not like the bosses of many Hollywood film companies, but he has not done anything to kill the donkey. Although Strauheng's movies have lost their original smoothness, Marskolov always respects Strauheng's attitude towards Strauheng.

He regarded Strauheng as a subordinate and a friend.

So although Strauheng's performance has not been very ideal in recent years, he still has the right to shoot at MGM.

Strangel obviously could understand this kind of kindness of Strangel, so she was very serious when making the movie. The script of "Greed" was written by Strangel himself, which can be said to have taken all his efforts. Marngel also admired the script very much. For the first time, he wanted to use this movie as the main film of MGM Films in the Hollywood Christmas movie schedule.

This has made Strauheng's film particularly valued.

As a result, both for Strauheng and MGM Films are very good, because Strauheng's film has received unanimous praise from Hollywood films and the public.

"Strauhen's movies are purely. We Hollywood filmmakers have reached a consensus on this. In fact, one thing should be affirmed is that Straauhen's contribution to Hollywood movies. As a veteran director, he is one of the most unavoidable Hollywood masters of art. Although most of Straauhen's film works have not been ideal in recent years. No one will underestimate him. Because his attitude towards movies really makes many film directors feel ashamed."

"Greed is a story about human nature. Strauheng is completely unconcerned about box office. He just films according to his inner thoughts, but only films according to his subjective wishes. Such a movie is filmed. It must be pure and a true presentation of a director's heart."

"The story of "Greed" is moving, a group of people's intrigues, and in the end, everyone's world collapsed. This is a complete tragedy and thought-provoking. It makes many viewers tremble all their bodies when they finish watching this movie. The Strauheng movie is like a cannon, blowing everyone's ears buzzing, and blowing everyone's souls buzzing. Such a movie is moving."

"The end of the movie. Strauheng set a slightly warm ending for the group of intrigues, which at least shows his attitude towards the world. He feels that there is still hope in this world. This makes the whole movie immerse itself in a hint of sunshine, sad and peaceful."

"Greed is Strauheng's highest achievement in the past or two years. The artistic nature of this movie is unique among many movies during the Christmas period. I think this time, Strauheng succeeded."

Honorary Hollywood Mayor Grant praised Strauheng's movie. Grant has been the mayor of Hollywood for so many years and is very familiar with Strauheng and admires this old director very much. His analysis is reasonable and well-founded, which makes people feel warm in their hearts.

After Grant was released, Howard Hawks and others also praised Strauheng's new film. Strauheng's "Greed" has basically won the recognition of Hollywood movies, and the box office is very good. Although the box office is not as large as "The Godfather 2" and Hitchcock's "No. 17", it is already very difficult for an art film to get such a box office.

MGM immediately held a celebration meeting. It is said that at the celebration meeting, Strauheng was full of tears. After so many years of stumbling, he finally achieved success. The old director naturally felt excited.

But he is not the only one who is in a rush, but William Wheeler from Universal Films' lips is also extremely excited.

Universal Film Company has not filmed many movies this year, especially its main movie. The only main movie produced in the second half of the year is William Wheeler's "The Gunner".

This movie means the main demonstration of Jiali Gubo, which leads the movie to make people look forward to it.

Clark Gable, Henry Fonda, I, plus Jali Cooper, the audience calls the four of us the king showdown for Hollywood actors this year.

Clark Gable's movie was a big hit, and Henry Fonda and I performed well. Next, the last appearance of Jaliguber became the audience's attention.

"The Gunner", a big investment movie, is very skilled as soon as it comes out.

No one expected that William Wheeler could make such a movie.

"I was surprised by the movie "The Gunner". In the past, when talking about tough guy movies in Hollywood, people would think of Westerns. When it comes to Westerns, people naturally recalled John Ford, the father of Westerns. In Hollywood, no one could beat John Ford in this regard. But now, I think this person has appeared, and that is William Wheeler."

"The Gunner is a movie with a sharp edge, just like a stone on a hill. It is cold and steady, and makes people feel excited after watching it. At the director's level, William Wheeler's film skills are simply perfect. Every shot in the movie is so perfect, so beautiful that it makes people suffocate. His style reminds people of John Ford. Griffith, and Andre Corleon. It can be said that William Wheeler concentrates the qualities of many of the top Hollywood directors. He learns knowledge from them and then transforms it into his own movies, which makes people feel admirable after watching it."

"In addition to William Wheeler's outstanding directorial arts, the praise of starring Jaliguber is even more impressive. He was born in the world, received systematic training from DreamWorks, and after Mr. Corleon's careful training, Jaliguber has become a few first-line male movie stars in Hollywood."

"This is a charming man, he is charming on the screen. Unlike Clark Gable, Henry Fonda, Mr. Corleon, and even John Wayne, his performance is as textured as sand and gravel. It is like a burning charcoal. It is hot and touching." The theme of "The Gunner" is difficult to determine. It is not a Western film. At the same time, it is not a gangster movie. We cannot divide it into any genre. But I want to say that this movie must be an outstanding art movie."

"I feel very happy because I have seen the growth of a future film master in Hollywood. In the near future, no one will doubt that William Wheeler will become a master that Hollywood filmmakers will respect."

Warner Films director Fritzlang praised William Wheeler's movie. William Wheeler's Gunner is obviously the kind that Fritzlang likes. This film noir master is very pleased with the calmness and texture that William Wheeler showed in this movie.

Except for Fritzran, the land is certain.

The success of the movie "The Gunner" was expected by me, because I was still very confident in William Wheeler, but I did not expect the movie to be so crazy welcomed by the audience.

William Wheeler's success also made Universal Film Company excited. After learning that "The Gunner" was successful, Lemmer immediately began to organize personnel to discuss the filming of the 1933 film.

Overall, in the Hollywood Temple movie schedule in 1932, the premiere of seven movies, George Stevens' "Red Dance Shoes", failed, several other movies achieved varying degrees of success, setting off a movie viewing frenzy throughout the United States, making the Christmas atmosphere extremely strong.

The success of "The Godfather 2" finally made me feel relieved. After being busy for so long, I finally didn't ruin my own and DreamWorks brand. To be honest, I was not 100% sure at the beginning, but now it seems that the effect is very good.

After finishing the premiere of "The Godfather 2", I completely relaxed. It was not just us. The success of this movie finally gave DreamWorks, which was busy, finally had a chance to rest. I gave a vacation to the crew, and many people at the company headquarters also got rest.

But this kind of rest is short because the Christmas movie schedule has not ended, and DreamWorks still has a highlight, that is, the blockbuster "Titanic" directed by Griffith, which invested more than $20 million.

After the film was completed, the film was well-trained. Griffith personally supervised it and even pulled me, Stiller, Steller and others up. Our group of people gave suggestions on the film, which made the film completely high-quality, high speed and high artistic in editing.

On the 3rd, the editing of "Titanic" was completed and submitted for review. The Codex Executive Bureau gave the film a G-level review. After that, DreamWorks officially held a press conference and announced that "Titanic" will premiere on Christmas evening. As soon as the news came out, the whole country was carnival. "Titanic" is the largest-investment movie in Hollywood so far, and the cast is very large. The crew also includes many first-class talents from DreamWorks, and it is even more famous because this movie was judged by Hollywood's youngest first-line actor and has become famous.

In the United States, many people have said this before, that is: We are only waiting for two movies this Christmas, one is "The Godfather 2" and the other is "Titanic". If the former is missed, people will die, while if the latter is not watched, people will not be able to survive.

This shows the people's love for this movie.

On Christmas night, in addition to DreamWorks' Titanic, there were several movies from other film companies at the premiere. Although the investment cost of these movies is not more than 5 million, it is also very eye-catching.

Paramount Films produced the film "Farewell" directed by Tyjalnett. Tyjalnett only joined Paramount Films last year and was a new director, but this does not mean that he is a raw melon in Hollywood. In fact, he stayed in Hollywood for longer than me. He started with the most basic scene record, photographer and deputy director, and was familiar with all aspects of Hollywood. After joining Paramount Films, he began to change careers and become a director. Adolf Chuck admired his talents very much, and he invested in making movies for him not long after he entered Paramount.

"Farewell" is Tay Garnett's movie, his debut work. For this guy, this movie is his life-long work in Hollywood, so he is naturally very serious. However, we do not know the content of this movie very well.

In addition to this movie from Paramount Films, Fox Films also released a movie. "Back Street" directed by Maxtar. Maxtar is also a veteran of Fox Films. He is a person who works hard but has not been optimistic in Hollywood. But this time, it is said that Fox Films is very confident in his movie.

As for the last movie, it was produced by the Star Film Company and directed by Henry King. This movie is more eye-catching than the two movies mentioned above. Generally speaking, this is a very strange thing. In terms of strength, the reputation of the Star Film Company is not a Fox rival, nor is it a Paramount Film Company. In terms of investment, the entire investment of "The Star Film Company" is only 1.5 million US dollars, compared with the 4.7 million "Farewell" and 4 million "Backstreet" are also at a disadvantage.

But there is a reason why this movie has attracted the attention of the audience, that is, Henry King, who has returned to the world.

In Hollywood, Henry King's level is definitely Griffith's generation. This old filmmaker was Ins' assistant. When he was making movies, Griffith was not famous yet. As for other people, such as John Ford, who are now famous in Hollywood, they are simply children in front of him.

Since Ins died inexplicably on Chaplin's yacht, Ins's film company was quickly embezzled. Henry King did not join other film companies. He used his own funds to open several cinemas to make a living. What is even more admirable is that after Ins' death, his family was not in good condition. Those who claimed to be friends when Ins were alive turned against each other and ignored Ins' family. Under such circumstances, there was only one person who took the initiative to take care of Ins' family, that was Henry King.

Henry King won the respect of Hollywood filmmakers with his actions. Although he basically did not shoot any movies after Ins' death, Hollywood filmmakers have always admired his film talents and were eager to watch the masterpieces of this senior on the screen.

Henry King has been living a life of being inseparable from Hollywood. He never got involved in film companies and never made films. People began to slowly forget him, and even the name was about to fade.

So, when celebrity film companies came forward to announce that they were going to launch the movie "Jane Buck" directed by Henry King, the whole of Hollywood was shocked.

Although this movie only has an investment of more than one million yuan, Henry King's reputation and prestige are already there. No one will be surprised and no one will be uninterested in his movie.

Hollywood filmmakers look forward to watching this movie to see if Henry King has not made a movie for so many years and will he become an ordinary old man.

More people hope that Henry King, who has been silent for so many years, can present them with a shocking masterpiece to them. After all, this old man's talent is really something that people cannot forget.

But I am not so familiar with Henry King. When I entered Hollywood, he had been in the film industry for many years. I had basically no contact with his movies. I had no impression of him. However, from the general people in the DreamWorks director team heard the surprise expressions of Henry King when filming films, from Griffith's applause, I could feel the charm of this old filmmaker.

It is enough to show his ability to leave Hollywood after so many years of quitting Hollywood and American audiences.

So, I am looking forward to his movie too.

With the advent of Christmas, Hollywood movie schedules have reached a white-hot level.

For me, although it was busy, it was at least a little easier. Griffith, Gans and others were busy.

I handed most of the things to them, and I started to take a break from my busy schedule.

In fact, the so-called leisure time is only relative. Compared with movies, although there are some other things, they are still quite leisurely.

And the most important thing is our so-called "30 billion dog-beating plan".

This name was founded by Livermore. The so-called dog-beating naturally refers to dealing with the Rockefeller Consortium. These days, two strings have been tense in my mind. One is a movie. To be precise, it is "The Godfather 2", and the other is the plan to deal with the Rockefeller Consortium that had been agreed upon before.

"The Godfather 2" is important to me. It is about the final honor and disgrace of Dreamworks in 1932, and by contrast, it is even more important to deal with Rockefeller, because this time, it is the perfect opportunity for the Rockefeller Consortium to be the most likely to completely destroy the Rockefeller Consortium over the years.

Since the establishment of DreamWorks, basically over the years, the Rockefeller Consortium has always been a mountain above us. Although the establishment and growth of the Rockefeller Consortium, especially the arrival of the economic crisis, has caused great changes in the Rockefeller Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium. We took the opportunity to grow, but the Rockefeller Consortium was greatly damaged. However, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. After all, the strength of the Rockefeller Consortium is still there. In the past or two years, we have been supported by other consortiums and have Roosevelt, so we are still under great pressure.

If this time it can really take off this thorny sprint, it will be a huge good thing for the Rockefeller Consortium. Before, I didn't believe that it could destroy the Rockefeller Consortium in one go. Although the Rockefeller Consortium's strength has long surpassed Rockefeller, it still cannot defeat the consortium alone.

But this time it was different. Rockefeller, DuPont and Morgan Consortium joined forces, and the stock market and oil companies took a two-pronged approach. Even a crocodile would be torn apart even if it was a crocodile.

Therefore, when Hollywood is booming and DreamWorks is busy with movies, I always pay attention to the actions of the Rockefeller Consortium.

After the premiere of "The Godfather 2", I can also plan for this matter with all my heart.

Most of the time, I stayed in the office. Dreamworks people may find that during this period, my office on the second floor became different from before. First of all, there were more people coming in and out, and there were all kinds of people, both day and night. Secondly, it was unlikely that ordinary people would go in. Those who could go in that office were basically senior executives of the Lockettke Consortium.

However, DreamWorks people should not care too much about this change, because it is really normal in DreamWorks.

But the top leaders of the entire Rockefeller Consortium were almost nervous, and the board of directors was extremely nervous. 30 billion was an astronomical figure, but one-fifth of the Rockefeller Consortium's wealth. This money was accumulated by our people with hard work. It would be great if we could defeat the Rockefeller Consortium in one sentence, but if we fail, we will definitely feel sorry for it.

The people on the board were nervous, and I was even more nervous. In fact, among these people, I was the most nervous. No one understood better than me what 30 billion means to the Lockettke Consortium, and no one understood more than me how much blood and sweat we spent to earn this money.

Therefore, I am definitely paying attention to this plan. In order to ensure timely command, I simply lived in the office.

In addition to me, Coolidge, Livermore, Yassel and others also became red-eyed rabbits, especially Coolidge and Livermore. The two of them were like springing tightly. There were few rests for twenty-four hours a day. Livermore was concerned about the stock market, and his importance to us was self-evident. In fact, the stock market is the battlefield that can best hit the Rockefeller Consortium, and it is also the key to whether this plan can succeed. In order to obtain the most information on the front line, Livermore cooperated with the Factory Guards and had completely spread the big net that he had been operating for so many years. The intelligence departments of DuPont Consortium and the Morgan Consortium secretly cooperated with Livermore. They were waiting for the Rockefeller Consortium's actions for a long time.

As for Coolidge, although he doesn't care much about the stock market, he is busier than Livermore. I'm not very familiar with the stock market, so he is naturally the commander-in-chief. In addition to supervising the development of the situation, Coolidge is also responsible for cooperating with the DuPont Consortium and the Morgan Consortium, inquiring about the government, and in charge of the overall planning work. All of this made this old man feel distressed to see it.

As for me, although I have nothing to help with in these things, I also have a difficult job. That is to raise money.

30 billion yuan of funds. Although it is one fifth of the total assets of the Lockettke Consortium, this is liquid capital. Most of the wealth of the Lockettke Consortium is fixed assets. It is definitely not an easy task to raise such a large amount of money.

In order to raise money, I held three consecutive board meetings. The leaders of each branch of the Lockettke Consortium were called over by me. The share of 30 billion US dollars was divided according to the proportion. The leaders of each branch did not refuse and completed the person according to my instructions, so that the money was basically raised in just a few days.

And when all the money was raised, my hands were shaking. Grandma, I have never experienced so much money, 30 billion! This is enough for me to make many movies!

This also shook me a lot, but in the end, I gritted my teeth and handed the money to Coolidge and Livermore. There is a saying that I can't bear to leave my children and can't trap the wolf. In order to defeat the Rockefeller Consortium, the money was ruined.

Not to mention me, even Coolidge and Livermore, two carefree people who are usually careless, are all stunned when facing such a large sum of money.

Livermore claims to regard money as a landlord, and when he took over the control of this money, he was excited and tears were filled with tears. For me, my favorite thing was to make movies. I could do anything for movies. But for Livermore, his favorite thing was to play with money and stock trading. He didn't care about how much money he made. He only enjoyed the success process. So much money was definitely his biggest move in his life. For him, who was nicknamed the god of short stocks, being able to do such a big thing was simply a lifetime dream, just like I was shooting a blockbuster.

Coolidge, a person who has been the president of the United States, also had a tactful eyebrow fight, and even his hands were burned by cigarette butts.

The funds have been settled and other things have been planned almost completely. All we have to do is to wait.

Wait for the Rockefeller Consortium to make big moves in the stock market, and wait for the moment when they take action.

Waiting often means inner suffering, especially such a big business.

Whether it was day or night, a group of people sat in that office and waited. Every time the phone rang, everyone jumped up together. That feeling was definitely something that ordinary people could not understand.
