300,000 US dollars is indeed difficult to shoot "This Killer Not Too Cold", and I can only say that I can barely handle it. If you want the movie quality and want to promote it after the filming, that would be a bit insufficient.

Therefore, if you can make an investment without harming the quality of the movie, it will naturally be very good.

However, generally speaking, those who can come out to invest are capitalists, and in most cases, venture capitalists from Wall Street are interested in Victor and John Ford.

Grant said to John Ford: "John, you know this person, Mr. Bernano from Los Angeles."

The name "Bernano?! Chris Bernano?" made Victor's mind tremble and he couldn't help but scream.

"Oh, Victor, you know him, too?" Grant said.

"It's more than just knowing each other!? He's just a fucking enemy!" Leo cursed.

Looking at Grant's puzzled expression, Victor simply said what had happened before, but did not indicate his identity as the Ferro family.

Grant smiled: "So that's the case. But Victor, Chris Bernano, is a man of openness and integrity. All he does to you is based on family interests. Putting aside this aspect, he is a veteran movie fan and an enthusiast in the movie."

"He has a great relationship with me. As far as I can tell, this guy likes westerns the most. He likes the scene of pulling guns. However, in the past two years, westerns have been filmed badly in Hollywood. Bernano began to talk to me very early on, if there is a script about killers in Hollywood, you can go find him. If he is satisfied, he can invest."

After Grant said this, he looked at Victor with interest: "Victor, you must be able to stretch and bend when doing big things. This is cooperation, very simple cooperation."

Victor was indeed very uncomfortable when he thought of Chris Bernano's face, but when he thought about it carefully, Grant's words made sense.

"Mr. Grant, you are right. I have a condition to cooperate with Bernano. If he agrees, everything will be easy. If he doesn't agree, I won't be willing to invest more money." Victor said.

"You said." Grant said.

Victor: "He invested and we could divide the future income of the movie according to the proportion, but he had no say in the movie itself!"

Grant understood: "You mean, how to shoot this movie is entirely up to you."

"This is a must!" Victor said.

Grant extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said, "If you believe me, give me this script. I will go find Chris immediately and tell him your opinions intact. Do you think it's OK?"

"You take it. Haha, the copyright of this script has been registered anyway." Victor shrugged.

The group of people had a great time talking. After the talk, Grant took the script and went to downtown Los Angeles. Victor, John Ford and others found a cafe to continue discussing the matter.

"Uncle John, now the company has been registered and the movie script has been written. The most important thing now is to set up the crew." Victor said: "What are your good suggestions in this regard?"

John Ford shook his head: "I don't think these things are important now. What's important is that you have to find a place and start the company. In Hollywood, you have to decorate your store before doing things. If you say you don't even have a factory address, who will look at you right away?"

"But this costs money, and we don't have much money now." When we mention money, Victor had a headache.

"There will always be money." John Ford spread his hands and said, "And if you don't have money, do it if you don't have money? I didn't ask you to find a few thousand acres of places to build a company as luxurious as MGM Cinema. I mean, even if you find a small place first, it will be done?"

"I'm not familiar with this at all." Victor smiled bitterly.

John Ford was very happy: "Don't worry, I'll think about this for you yesterday and follow me."

A group of people went out and John Ford drove his car straight to the West End of Hollywood.

Along the way, Warner Bros. Film Company, MGM Film Company and Columbia Film Company's luxurious bases shuttled past. There was no company there, clearly a huge castle, a small city with a cave, extremely prosperous and imposing.

Ford's car turned over a dozen blocks and stopped.

As soon as he got out of the car, Victor was a little stunned.

Because in front of me was a hillside, and there was a huge advertising panel erected on it, which was the HOLLYWOOD that later became a symbol of Hollywood! However, unlike the latter, this line of white characters has four more letters of land.

Standing here, condescending, the whole Hollywood is in sight.

But this place has clearly shown the prosperous areas of Hollywood, and the surrounding buildings are also a bit dilapidated and depressed.

John Ford led Victor to a building.

This building has about dozens of acres of masks, and stands seven or eight small buildings. There is a large courtyard in the middle and an iron gate is very majestic. It not only has magnificent patterns on it, but also a huge sign that has collapsed.

"Vitagraf!" When Victor read out the mottled words on the sign, he was a little surprised.

Is this the factory logo of Vitagraf? No wonder this iron gate is so majestic!

Those who are not familiar with the history of film may find it difficult to understand the meaning of the name Vitagraf.

Shortly after the film was invented, this emerging art form attracted many people's ideas. In the United States, film companies specializing in filming and screening were quickly established, which was also the first pioneer of film companies in the United States and even the world.

Vitegruff is a company founded by James Stewart Blackton and someone in 1897. Many of the films produced by this company have made the first in film history.

Under James's management, Vitegraf expanded rapidly, especially during World War I. Vitegraf's career reached its peak and became one of the largest film companies in the United States. To give an analogy, Vitegraf's attitude towards American movies at that time was like Paramount or MGM's attitude towards Hollywood in 1940.

But the good times did not last long. Due to business philosophy, or because of the inability to keep up with the times, and intensified competition, the great Vitagraf was acquired by Warner Bros. in 1926. Warner Bros. Film Company transformed into one of Hollywood's top film companies because of its acquisition of this giant.

Standing in front of the ruins of such a great film company, Victor naturally felt a lot of emotion.

The big waves wash away the sand. In Hollywood, there is never any comfort. All it can be said is to survive the fittest and survive the weak. If you don’t innovate or work hard, even companies like Vitagraf will be buried in the dust of history.
