Three days later, John Ford sent a check of $200,000.

In addition to this check, there is also an agreement that clearly states that as long as you take the money, everything in "The Grapes of Angry" will have nothing to do with Victor.

Victor signed the letter and looked up at John Ford: "Uncle John, please tell Mr. Fox that he would make this movie well, and that he would work hard in the future. I will take many years, five years, or ten years to get rid of his factory logo."

John Ford patted Victor on the shoulder: "Victor, don't do this. Is your future path still broad? There is no need to be unable to get along with yourself."

Victor smiled and handed the check to John Ford: "I don't owe him about the movie theater."

"The remaining 20,000 must be returned!" Leo said.

"Darell's $180,000? How could you owe him so much money?" John Ford was a little surprised.

Victor briefly told the Los Angeles Cinema story, and John Ford raised his eyebrows: "No, Darrell is even more cunning than William. How could he make a story take him to pay 180,000? Also, you are not going to give that script to Darrell?"

"Why should I get cheaper in the 20th Century Fox? Why do I make wedding clothes for others?" Victor stood up and walked to the window to look at Hollywood outside: "Uncle John, I thought Hollywood was easy to do, but now I find that this is my wishful thinking. For filmmakers, especially those who are somewhat ideal, once they enter the film company, they become slaves and have their ideals confiscated, year after year. If you want to film what you like, you have to go your own path, there is only one way!"

How could John Ford not understand Victor’s meaning: “Why, you kid want to start your own company!?”

"Isn't it possible?" Victor said.

John Ford smiled bitterly and said, "Don't dream! Victor, I, John Ford, see how I am now!? Not bragging, in Hollywood, I am also a first-class director. What kind of bullshit ideals are I am not worse than you. Back then, I miss you very much, but look at me now, I have become a dog!? Do you know how many new film companies are established outside every year and how many film companies are closed?"

"If you opened a company 20 years ago, you might have survived, but now the situation is different. That era of rashness has passed and there will never be any more. Vitagraf, the First National Film Company, the Lightning Film Company, etc. How many famous film companies fell back then? How many film companies have been annexed in the past twenty years?!"

"Now, it is the world of the eight major film companies! It is MGM, Paramount, Warner Bros., Thunder Dianhua, Columbia, Universal, 20th Century Fox, and Lianyi. They have become Hollywood giants, and behind them are the consortium of Wall Street, with a huge amount of funds on hand and more stars than the stars. The most important thing is that they have all theaters. If you open a film company, you have no funds, no manpower, and no theaters. What do you want to survive? Is it your ideal? Nonsense!"

It can be seen that John Ford poured out all his years of bitterness.

Victor naturally understood these words.

"Uncle John, your words make sense, but what is the difference between a person without ideals and an egg? Indeed, it's not 20 years ago, but it doesn't mean there will be no new film companies here, and it doesn't mean that I can't survive. I really have nothing now, but I believe that as long as I take my time, I will always succeed." Victor said in a deep voice.

John Ford looked at Victor with a sad look: "You decided?"

"It's decided." Victor nodded.

John Ford took a deep breath: "Success! I am worthy of being a member of the Fellow family, I have a habit! To be honest, I don't want to watch you walk on this path of no return, but I hope you can succeed. If there is one day, I will go to your company to capture your so-called bullshit ideal!"

"Hahaha." Victor stood up and gave John Ford a hug.

"But Victor, the establishment of a company is not as simple as you think!" John Ford continued to pour cold water on.

"So I want to ask you for help. Don't forget Uncle John, you owe me a favor." Victor said.

John Ford: "Okay, say it, as long as I can do it!"

Victor thought for a while and said, "First of all, I need you to use your relationship and help me find a place. Secondly, you owe me some money."

"There is no problem with the place. Hollywood never lacks place. How much money do you need?" John Ford is a cheerful person.

Victor rubbed his temples: "200,000?"

"How many?" John Ford's eyes widened even bigger than bull's eyes: "You think I'm a capitalist on Wall Street, 200,000!"

"It's a bit too much, but Uncle John, I'm following the minimum budget for the script I currently have," Victor said.

"200,000, 200,000..." John Ford thought for a while and said, "Take out all my private hidings over the years, but Victor, you are playing with fire, and you may not even be able to take back a single child if you invest in it."

"Do you have some confidence in me? Am I like the kind of money-burning person?" Victor said.

John Ford was still worried and said, "Then take out your script and I'll take a look. After reading it, I'll decide!"

"It just happened that I just finished writing yesterday." Victor brought the script and handed it to John Ford.

John Ford held up the thick script and read it twice.

"Bang!" This bull-like man slapped the table: "300,000! I'll give you 300,000! I'm a bitch. This time, I'll accompany you to crazy!"

Looking at John Ford like that, Victor laughed: "Uncle John, you have figured it out. Aren't you afraid of spending so much money to play with?"

"Bad!" John Ford held the script and said, "The money is gone, he can make money again. Such a good movie must be made!"

John Ford's face turned red and said, "Victor, your story is different from all the stories before Hollywood. Although I can't judge his market, I think it's definitely a good thing if it is filmed! There are stories that are interesting to the public and they will be very happy to go there. Novelty alone is enough to attract people! More importantly, in this movie, how can I say it, there is an emotion that makes people unable to explain clearly, warm, pure, and beautiful! In such a fucking era, who doesn't like these beautiful things! Maybe, this movie will become a classic."

"Don't praise me anymore, I just want to make a movie and make money." Victor was really embarrassed by John Ford's words.

"I will give you 300,000 tomorrow, but, even though the script is good, have you figured out how to operate it?" John Ford asked.

This question really caught Victor's mind.

He should have no problem writing scripts or directing, but he is really not good at starting a company, especially dealing with Hollywood.

"You can help the most," Victor said.

John Ford smiled bitterly: "I think so, but I can't get rid of myself now."

"I don't know anyone except you." Victor told the truth.
