Chapter 34 Seeing Bergman Again

In the eyes of ordinary people, filmmakers are dazzling.

This phenomenon makes sense, but few people see the real situation.

The glory is only a very small number of people, most of whom are miserable goods. Even for these very few people, there are unknown sadness behind the flash.

Victor was so tired.

Compared to writing scripts and planning, it is definitely a torment for the director to truly enter the shooting stage.

The first is filming. Because there is not much money on hand, Victor wants to finish the filming as soon as possible and try to make full use of the shooting time. One crew member can eat, drink, defecate, and sleep. One more day will cost more. So during the shooting, the entire crew gets up at five o'clock in the morning and finishes work until one or two o'clock in the evening. Sometimes it just takes all night.

At the beginning, the crew had just been established and needed to be run-in. Especially except for Nicholas Sink, who is a veteran, everyone else was basically just starting out and had more problems. In such a situation, the director became the backbone of the entire crew.

Victor felt that he was quite competent in this regard. He knew the rhythm, story and style of the whole movie, and knew what was needed and what was not needed, so he could quickly make judgments and choices when encountering this situation. If he was a new director, his mind would often be in vain and confused on the spot at this time, and then the entire crew would be finished.

John Ford admired Victor's performance very much. The old man was very worried about Victor from the beginning and simply took the time to watch the scene. But after a few days of filming, John Ford's heart was put in his stomach.

As for the actors, Pike and Monroe's performances made Victor very satisfied. In front of the camera, whether it was Parker or Monroe, they were obviously immersed in the role. Sometimes both of them had some performances and plots that they had produced themselves. Most of Victor chose to recognize them, and even thought they were good to change the script on the spot. The entire crew was mostly young, and the atmosphere was harmonious and cheerful, and it turned into a family. This obviously also played a great role in the shooting of the movie.

The most tiring one is Victor, but Leo.

This guy has a role in this movie and has to be Victor's deputy director. The so-called deputy director is actually responsible for the most daily maintenance of the crew and the supply of the crew.

Leo is a carefree man with a hot temper, simple mind and developed limbs, but gradually, this guy became extremely careful and could bargain with the people who delivered the meal for a lunch for the crew, just to have one or two dollars left. Often everyone in the crew was asleep, Leo was still checking supplies to prepare for the next day, and Victor saw all these.

"This Killer Not Too Cold" was going on in an orderly manner under such tension, quite smoothly.

After the crew filmed for a while, according to Nicholas's previous plan, John Ford contacted the Los Angeles Times and other media. After receiving the news, reporters flocked to it. Although their focus was on the first time a big director like John Ford, these reports also had a great influence in Hollywood after they entered the newspaper. Because people familiar with John Ford know that John Ford, who has such a tough temper, this unprincipled John Ford was able to condescend to run to a crew to act for an unknown little director, which is enough to show that this drama should be a bit interesting.

"Victor, let's have a rest tonight. If you continue to do this, I'm afraid the crew will be on the run before the filming is finished." That night, John Ford came to Victor and sat down and whispered.

Victor, sitting on the chair, had messy hair, red eyes and hoarse voice. John Ford was even more miserable. After all, this guy was old and grinned while rubbing his old waist.

"It's time to rest." Victor smiled, looking at the exhausted staff who lay down everywhere as soon as the shutdown was announced, he felt that he was a little too much.

I looked down at my watch and it was ten o'clock in the evening.

"Leo, tell everyone that I will finish work and rest tonight. I will treat everyone to dinner and go to that Chinese tavern." Victor said.

"That's so damn! I'm going to suffocate myself to death. I want to drink and two more girls!" Leo laughed and spread the news. The whole crew cheered.

The Chinese Tavern, the originally empty shop, instantly surged.

After holding it in for so long, everyone was extremely nervous. It was rare to have such a relaxing time, so the drinking, singing, singing, and singing were very lively.

Victor sat next to the window with a wine glass, so tired that he was so limp that he couldn't even speak.

It was already midnight. The streets of Los Angeles were empty, and the dim street lights were covered with hazy fog, making the city particularly charming at night.

"This scene should be very good when taken." Nicholas Sink exclaimed: "This is a charming city."

"Many people are commonplace in this kind of beauty, and only those who are attentive will discover it." Victor agrees with Nicholas's words very much.

"Let's go out for a walk," Nicholas suggested.

"Good idea." Vik lifted up and picked up his coat.

Two friends, one old and one young, walked out of the tavern and walked along the empty streets. The air was fresh and cool, refreshing.

Along the way, the two people discussed apart from the film, which was the company's future development, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"I'm old. If I knew you twenty years younger, then bullshit Hollywood would be another scene." Nicholas smiled.

"It's not too late, I promise from now on, and in a few years, Hollywood will look different." Victor's words amused Nicholas.

The two of them walked forward and came to the bustling area near downtown Los Angeles.

Although it was already midnight, there were still lights and wine in front of me. Under the flashing neon lights, people who were drunk and dreaming were flashing like ghosts.

Scream! A black car hits head-on. If Victor hadn't grabbed Nicholas with quick eyes, he would have been hit and killed on the spot.

"Bitch!" Nicholas stepped forward and was about to find trouble. When he saw the car door open, a woman ran over with her face covering her face and cried. Then, the car was not tall, with a slightly fat figure, and a man with his hair tied up with his eyes followed him.

Seeing these two people, Victor and Nicholas were both stunned.

"Miss Bergman!"

"Bitch, Mayer!"

The two of them ran out together, but their attitudes were completely different.

Victor was surprised and surprised, while Nicholas was angry.

"Miss Bergman!" Victor blocked the way, and Bergman, who was crying, almost crashed into Victor's arms.

"Go away..." Bergman shouted, raised his head and saw Victor.

"Ingrid! Ingrid!" The man behind hurriedly chased after him.

"Damn it!" Nicholas overturned the man to the ground with an uppercut, and the old man's roar could almost spread throughout the block: "Louis Mayer, if I don't kill you today, I'm not Nicholas Sink!"
