As Hollywood mayor, although Jenny Grant has no administrative power, he has been in this position for many years. Grant has resources that others do not have. Not to mention anything else, those who can sit in this position must be supported by Hollywood citizens and recognized by major Hollywood film companies.

This alone cannot be underestimated by Grant.

Victor naturally knew this.

"Mr. Grant, I made a movie that costs a very small cost, and the content is nothing more than a killer." Victor smiled.

The script is confidential before filming begins. It is obviously inappropriate to leak the content of the script at this time.

Grant certainly understood this, so when Victor said this, the old man smiled and stopped talking.

John Ford next to him didn't think so: "Victor, Jenny is his own person and will not break the rules. Although he doesn't make movies, he has to spend Hollywood movies in his hands every year, so he can at least provide you with some professional advice."

After saying this, John Ford said to Grant again: "Victor's script is quite exciting. I plan to take out my 300,000 yuan deposit and support him."

"Is that right? Then I'm going to read it." Grant was very interested and said, "Don't worry, I won't reveal a trace of the content of this script."

After all this, Victor naturally had no choice but to hand over the script to Grant.

Grant read it quickly and nodded: "John, $300,000 is probably not enough, right?"

"It's almost done." Victor smiled.

Although "This Killer Not Too Cold" is not a big scene. Although the main scenes of the shooting are all based on the city, the most expensive ones may be some gunfight scenes, some vehicles, blasting, etc. In addition to the cost of filming, another big expense is the entire crew's food, drink, defecation, and the longer the shooting time, the greater the expense.

In this way, 300,000 US dollars can only be barely enough, but Victor is now penniless. John Ford took out 300,000 US dollars. For Victor, it was already a pie from the sky, so there was no hope.

Grant was very clear about Hollywood's operation. He lit a cigarette and said to Victor: "Victor, I have to admit that your script is the best script I have seen in the past two years. Because of this, I don't want to see a good script being ruined."

"To be fair, if you use $300,000 to make this movie, the effect should be barely acceptable, and it is certain to make money. However, $300,000 does not make this movie perfect. Do you know what I mean by perfection?"

Victor also understood Grant's words.

"The movies made from 300,000 and 500,000 US dollars are different. Don't look at the difference between 200,000." Grant said: "With this extra money, the whole movie will be more than one level in terms of scenes and style. You can sit up with ease."

Victor was amused and crying: "Mr. Grant, I also hope to have more money, $1 million is better! But now, who would like to give me such an unknown little person for nothing?"

Grant laughed: "Without a script like this, are you afraid of losing money?"

John Ford was overjoyed: "Can you find money?"

Gran nodded: "Hollywood is not short of money now, what is lacking is good scripts. As long as it is a good script, it can bring money."

Victor was very happy too.

In the world, which director would think that his movies are investing less money?

When Grant saw that John Ford and Victor were interested, he said, "There are two ways at the moment."

"The first method is the easiest, that is, co-production. Victor, you have also seen those big guys just now. Whether it is Adolf Chuck, Sam Warner, or Carl Lemmer, the thing these guys are most worried about is how to find a good script. For them, the most important thing is that a movie swept the Oscars, and they have money."

"In the past few months, they have been looking for good scripts and have been running to me countless times. You know, there is a screenwriter association under the Hollywood Town Hall. Some screenwriters who are not famous now always send a lot of works, but these works are not many excellent."

"No matter who you read, you will definitely be satisfied with it. As long as you are willing, I can call them now. If they are satisfied, your funds will be resolved, and it will be enough to make as much money as you want."

After Grant said the first proposal, Victor shook his head.

If you want to find a big company as your backer, Victor just needs to take the script and look for it. Why do you have to set up a company by yourself? It's thankless to have it?

Although they have many innate advantages when playing with a large company, people naturally have to get a big share after making money. If they win an award, they must be the first. This is equivalent to making wedding clothes for others.

"Mr. Grant, this may not work. My legendary film company has to be launched with this movie." Victor said.

Grant seemed to have guessed Victor's thoughts for a long time and said, "That's the second way. This second way is to not cooperate with other large companies and find capital outside of Hollywood."

"You mean, Wall Street?" John Ford said.

This made Victor shake his head again.

The twenty years after Hollywood was just established were a period of development and also the period when Hollywood achieved the greatest achievements in film art. At that time, although the companies were small and there was not much capital, the subjective initiative and talents of film practitioners could be maximized, so the personal style of the film was obvious.

But then, with the influx of Wall Street funds, the entire Hollywood fell under the capital of Wall Street and was controlled by Wall Street. For businessmen, they didn’t care about the artistic nature of movies at all, they only care about one thing: making money!

Therefore, Hollywood in 1940 has completely become the assembly line of film production. Although it is a prosperous scene, the artistic nature of the film has been greatly reduced.

It is even more uncomfortable to let Victor accept such funds and let Victor change his pursuit under money than to kill him.

"I can't even stand those guys on Wall Street, let alone Victor Grant, this matter is over." John Ford himself has no good impression of Wall Street.

Grant shook his head: "You guys are wrong. I don't want to lower the artistic standards of this work because of investors joining. The person I'm talking about is not from Wall Street, and he must be very interested in such a killer movie."

"Oh, there are people like this?" John Ford said.

Grant laughed, "Yes, and it's in Los Angeles."
