Chapter 32 Big bosses everywhere!

There are no big scenes in "This Killer Not Too Cold". For Victor, two months is enough to finish filming and release in October. This is a very normal thing. He doesn't understand why Jenny Grant is so excited, and he also says that if he chooses to release at that time, he will die miserably.

"Why?" asked Victor.

Jenny Grant sat down and said, "Because, that month, the movies released were all movies that you can't compare to! That month is definitely the time for major film companies to fight!"

"Ah?" Victor laughed: "What does this have to do with me."

Grant said it right. From October to around Christmas every year, it is the most fierce competition in American films. In the past two months, major film companies will basically launch their most important movies of the year.

But in Victor's opinion, those things that are definitely big companies have nothing to do with a small company like himself.

"It's very relevant!" Grant emphasized: "Do you know how many movies will be released in October? Do you know whose movie will be released in October??"

"Then I want to listen." Victor said.

Grant is the mayor of Hollywood, the situation of major Hollywood film companies, especially the screening of new films, he is probably more clear and comprehensive than anyone knows.

"All of them are amazing characters! Simply put, almost all of Hollywood's top works this year are concentrated in October." Grant took a deep breath, as if he was nervous, for Victor and the others.

"First of all, it is a film "This is John Toh" created by Columbia this year. Director Frank Capra."

Grant's first words made Victor tremble.

Frank Capra!?

The 1940s to the 1960s were the undisputed golden age of Hollywood. The classic period, in this era, countless awesome actors and film masters emerged, Frank Capra, is definitely the most dazzling one!

This guy who was born in Italy in history has become "Hollywood's greatest Italian" and came to the United States at the age of 6. With his own efforts, he became the most successful director in the Hollywood classic period and is an outstanding representative of the "American Dream". He filmed 53 movies with one voice, won the Oscar nomination for Best Director 6 times, and won three awards.

Miracle is the theme of Capra's movies. His film tells the audience various miracles: Shangri-La in the war, the rich fall in love with the poor, and the unlucky dreams come true overnight... No matter when, Capra always maintains praise for American traditional qualities such as loyalty, idealism and social responsibility. It is precisely because of his persistence in art that his unique genius has made him one of the four major directors in the Hollywood classic period! Many of his films have become classic works in the history of film.

This is an absolute movie master.

"This is John Do" is one of Frank Capra's classic works. This is a masterpiece by the master.

Grant didn't look at Victor's expression much and continued: "The second part is King Vedo's "Northwest Passage". Paramount invested $8 million to launch almost all its stars for this movie."

Victor nodded.

King Vidor is one of the older directors in Hollywood and is known as a jewel of Hollywood. As early as 1915, King Vidor came to Hollywood to work and co-produced films with film masters such as Thomas Ins and Griffiths. In history, he and Hitchcock were hailed as rare narrative tension masters. As a director, King Vidor’s most rare thing is that he always habitually focuses on society with a humanitarian perspective and has his own unique pursuits. In addition, his films are often both well-known and popular.

This movie is probably not to be underestimated.

Grant continued: "The third part is Alfred Hitchcock's "Overseas Commissioner", which Warner Bros. Films planned for a whole year and was regarded as a big production."

Hitchcock!? How could Victor not be moved by this name that everyone knows in later generations?

Hitchcock is famous for shooting thriller movies. He is one of the few people in Hollywood who can be called a master of masters in film art. For many people, the name "Hitchcock" is no longer a name, but represents the spirit of a film technique and has become synonymous with suspense and thriller.

Alfred Hitchcock has been studying film production at the U.S. Lasky Film Company in 1920. At that time, he was just the lowest-level technician. In 1922, he studied under the American director Morris and began to direct films. In many years, this art master interacted with Hollywood and the United Kingdom in the United States, and made many films, and achieved certain results.

In 1935, Hitchcock learned about "Thirty-Nine Steps", which officially attracted widespread attention and became a director who was paid attention to by world films.

Hitchcock's talent, his genius in thriller movies, attracted the interest of Warner Bros. Films, which, in fact, have dominated Hollywood by producing such films.

So Hitchcock naturally joined the Warner Bros.

Compared to Kim Vido and Frank Capra, the film master obviously made Victor tremble.

By this time, Victor had a deep understanding of why Grant didn't let his movie come out in October.

But Jenny Grant had no intention of stopping.

"The fourth part is Lianmei." Grant took a sip of coffee.

"Caplin's?" Victor blurted out.

"It seems you know, too." Grant smiled: "A masterpiece "The Great Dictator" that our great artist, Mr. Chaplin, worked hard."

God Victor's forehead began to sweat.

Unlike other film companies, Lianmei is an outlier among all Hollywood companies.

For example, companies like MGM and Paramount have been highly unified in their organization and concentrated in power to make profits. Compared with ordinary companies, they only produce movies rather than cars.

But the United States is different.

In Hollywood, United States should be one of the first film companies to be established. In 1919, Chaplin, Van Punk and Beckford Griffith built this company. The purpose at that time was to get rid of the constraints and exploitation of large film companies and shoot the movies they wanted to make, which determined that United States had two unique characteristics from the beginning.

First, the films produced by this film company have extremely obvious personal style and attach great importance to artistic pursuits. Second, the film company is not highly unified. On the contrary, the organization is loose and internal discord is common.

It is precisely because of these two characteristics that on the one hand, the films produced by Lianmei have been artistically recognized by many people for decades, but in the past few decades, Lianmei's development has been far inferior to other film companies.

With the development of the film, Griffith was abandoned, and Van Punk and others were gradually forgotten. Only Chaplin always insisted on being on the front line of the United States.

Hollywood people have nothing to say about Chaplin's movies, but for Chaplin, there is no good reputation.

Chaplin in the movie and Chaplin in real life are completely two people. Many things are so dirty that they can't get on the table.

In the history of world cinema, Charlie Chaplin is a modern comedy movie. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to call him the father of comedy movies. On the screen, he created characters that moved countless people and made no dispute about his contribution to the movie. However, judging from Chaplin's own actions, this guy is not an open and honest person. So Grant's tone when talking about Chaplin was very frivolous.

"The Great Dictator." Victor muttered this name and his forehead hurt.
