Chapter 19 Company Registration
Victor understands Nicholas Sink's anger very well.
In fact, if I were myself, I would have let the dog shoot.
Although Nicholas Sink is now in poverty, he is also a former sensational figure in Hollywood. He was one of the former heads of MGM. A penniless young boy came over to let him come out, and he didn't even have a film company. In his opinion, Nicholas Sink has such a status and such fame, which is definitely a joke.
John Ford hurriedly said, "Nicholas, calm down first. Victor is indeed not an ordinary person. This kid is a genius."
Nicholas: "Stop mentioning me any genius. I don't even look down on 20th Century Fox, so why are you bullshit legendary film companies! Get out of here!"
Seeing that Victor continued to do this, it was unlikely that he would invite the old man out, but would make the relationship froze. He stood up and smiled and said, "Mr. Sinke, do you know who I admire the most in Hollywood?"
"This has nothing to do with me!" said Nicholas Sink.
"There are two people I admire most. The first one is David Griffith. Mr. Griffith is not only the founder of Hollywood, but also the founder of film art. His pursuit of film and his ideals for film are the benchmark for me to do things. Unfortunately, Hollywood abandoned this master, and today's Hollywood, you know that it has completely become a smoky place. Art, here, has almost no place to settle down. Mr. Sink, I want to make good movies, those touching and meaningful movies, and I want to build a purely glorious and dreamy film company."
"The second person I admire most is Mr. Marskolov. Although he is a projector, he created the great MGM. This company has produced a series of great works in the past few decades, especially twenty years ago. But now, MGM is no longer the MGM that was once. Although it is growing and growing, most of the movies produced are just luxurious bubbles."
"Mr. Sinke, I don't have much strength now, no money or no one, but I have ideals. I think everyone has ideals, and you have them too. Griffith said that the greatest thing about movies is that it can point people out a bright road. I think we should all work in this direction, strive to create our own creativity and eliminate the smoky and chaotic atmosphere on the road."
Victor's words were extremely sincere, and John Ford and Nicholas Sink were both a little silent.
Victor took out the script of "This Killer Not Too Cold" from his arms and placed it on the table: "This is a new script I have written. I am going to try my best to shoot it. If possible, please ask Mr. Sink to give me more guidance. After all, you are a senior. Please consider the invitation to be the general manager of the Legendary Film Company. I will wait for your reply."
After saying that, Victor nodded to John Ford and others, and everyone went out.
On the way back, John Ford directly complained to Victor.
"I told you a long time ago that I will do this. Nicholas is not an ordinary person. Look, what's the result..." John Ford shook his head.
"I don't think this old man is going well." Parker seemed to have a bad impression of Nicholas Sink.
"What are you going to do if Nicholas doesn't help?" John Ford turned his face and asked Victor.
Victor laughed: "I'm not going to help him."
John Ford gave Victor a blank look: "You just dream. By the way, do you want to register a movie company tomorrow?"
"Of course." Victor took his eyes out of the window and said, "What are the procedures required to register a film company?"
John Ford was so happy: "You want to register a company, don't even know the procedures?"
Victor shrugged.
Back at Grape Villa, everyone except Victor was a little discouraged, especially John Ford.
"Uncle John, if Nicholas doesn't come, would you still be willing to take out your 300,000 dollars?" Victor said.
John Ford waved his hand: "This has nothing to do with Nicholas. I will do this for this movie. Victor, I have a hunch that this movie will be an immortal movie."
"Then wait and see." Victor said.
After dinner, John Ford couldn't help but call Nicholas Sink.
"How is it?" asked Parker.
John Ford shook his head: "I don't know what this bitch has, and I didn't say much."
"Didn't you tell me about him coming to us?" Parker said in surprise.
John Ford said: "I basically didn't say it, but I talked about a lot of past events from twenty years ago. I was very happy."
"Victor, we will meet in the town hall tomorrow." John Ford got up and said goodbye when he saw it.
There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Victor got up early.
This day was an important day for Victor, so he specially changed into a suit, and the other people, Leo, Parker, and Anthony, were also dressed up carefully and dressed very solemnly.
Hollywood, located in the northwest corner of downtown Los Angeles, has about 300,000 residents, which is already the size of a small city. However, with the development of the film industry, the division of the film industry is not limited to only one place in Hollywood, but also has become a satellite city. As part of Los Angeles, Hollywood does not have its own official municipal department, and only a designated official serves as the so-called "honor mayor" and set up a small office, commonly known as the "City Hall". This department has no administrative power, but only has symbolic significance, promising some celebrations or mediation of Hollywood's usual things.
But despite this, City Hall plays a big role in everyday things for Hollywood.
When several people took a taxi to the city hall, John Ford had been waiting there for a long time. The guy took off his denim suit and put on a suit, even shaved his beard again.
"It's a good day." John Ford looked up at the sky and smiled.
A group of people entered the city hall and, under the leadership of John Ford, began the procedures.
Victor didn't understand these things at all, so he completely let them go to John Ford.
But after handling it, Victor was very surprised.
I didn’t expect that it would be so easy to register a film company in Hollywood these days - first, the handling fee is about 2,000 US dollars, and then some bullshit documents such as proof of identity are needed, and then sign, stamp, and get it done!
"Legendary Film Company", looking at the document in his hand, Victor felt like a dream.
Such a big thing and such an important thing can be solved in less than ten minutes?
"John? Haha, how could you be here?" As Victor was about to tell John Ford about what was going on, a loud voice came from behind.
Turning his face, Victor saw a group of people walking towards this side, among which, a beautiful figure made Victor's heart tremble.
Meeting again.
