Chapter 39 Funds have a way

When making movies, no matter when it is, they are burning money.

If you don’t have money, no matter how good the idea is, no matter how good the shot is, it will be useless.

But Leo said that the crew had no money now, and the news surprised Victor.

As a director, there are so many daily things to deal with, so Leo is responsible for the crew's expenses. This guy is the production director of the crew and is very conscientious.

"No, Leo, we calculated before, $300,000 should be the same." Victor said.

Leo smiled bitterly: "It was calculated at the time, but now it is now. Many situations are not included, including a lot of extra expenses. Not to mention anything else, in order to pursue the perfect image style, you often take pictures several times during shooting, so the cost will increase, and there are food, drink, defecation and urination..."

Victor waved his hand: "Tell me, how many gaps are there now?"

Leo and Nicholas looked at each other, then found the book they carried with them: "Now the whole movie has been half finished, and the previous ones are all large scenes. If you want to finish it in the end, it will take 200,000."

"Two hundred thousand!?" Victor's head was as big as a bucket.

Where did the 200,000 come from?

Nicholas looked at Victor and said, "Leo showed me the report before. He said something good. Grant and the others told you that if you make do with $300,000, you can finish shooting, but you have too high requirements when shooting. Of course, this is for the sake of the film, so we didn't stop you at that time."

"But where do I go for this 200,000 US dollars?" Victor was so amused and crying.

"What ten thousand dollars?" While a group of people were discussing, John Ford walked in with rain all over the place: "Weather for a bitch."

It can be seen that this guy is in a bad mood.

As soon as John Ford arrived, everyone stood up one after another.

Victor briefly explained the two things about Nicholas and Leo, and John Ford couldn't sit still.

"How could this happen? No wonder MGM's distribution director ran to 20th Century Fox and William Fox for a long time." John Ford featured a cigar.

"What does this have to do with us?" Leon wondered.

John Ford looked at Leo with contempt: "The eight major Hollywood film companies all have a certain number of theaters, among which, MGM, Paramount and Warner Bros., have the largest number of theaters. In addition, it is 20th Century Fox. Paramount thinks that it is not right to live with MGM. Now Warner Bros. and Paramount are also very close to each other. So, this time, the director of MGM's distribution went to 20th Century Fox, and it must be about theaters. I originally thought it was about discussing the issue of new movies that will be released by the two film companies, but after William Fox finished talking, he called me in, and I realized that the content of their discussion was related to Victor, you."

"In a word, you really got Meyer completely. He sent a sentence that even if your movie was filmed, there would be no theater screenings."

John Ford said something, Victor was so cold that he fell into the ice cave.

"This is too dark. MGM has actually developed such despicable means." Leo was dissatisfied.

John Ford smiled and said, "What's the matter? Who makes people rich? Mayer said it right. He can kill you with just one finger."

Victor sneered: "Don't worry. Our lives are in our own hands. The more he does this, the more I want to give him a good look!"

Leo nodded and said, "You can think of a solution for the theaters, but what should I do if I have the 200,000 US dollars?"

Everyone heard this and became silent.

Among these people, John Ford is the richest, but he has already given out 300,000 yuan before, and this money is probably his limit. The others are all so poor that they can take out 200,000 yuan, but where can they get 200,000 yuan?

John Ford said: "The crew must not stop, let alone delay. If we stop everything we did before, it will be vain. It is even more unstoppable to drag it down. The staff and equipment are there, and dragging it for a day is equivalent to spending more money on a day."

Parker said: "This is easy to deal with. Everyone should work hard first, just don't pay it. Wait until the movie is released..."

Leo waved his hand straight: "You don't understand these things at all. On the one hand, many people are taking care of their children, so how can they not be paid? On the other hand, the most important thing is that there is nothing else to spend except salary."

Nicholas said: "If it really doesn't work, we'll borrow money."

"Borrow money? Who to borrow? Los Angeles banks? That's impossible. Other Hollywood film companies are unlikely, and even if they agree, they will speak up." John Ford rejected Nicholas' proposal without thinking.

At this time, Anthony, who had been silent on the side, spoke: "Victor, why don't we sell the Los Angeles Cinema."

"No!" Victor refused.

I finally kept that cinema. This is my only physical industry now and I can't let it go no matter what.

"Is there any news over Grant?" John Ford asked.

"You still think that Bernano's dog-day can invest money?" Nicholas was furious when he mentioned Bernano: "Don't think about it! If he had agreed, he would have agreed!"

"It's a life to be a living horse. Maybe there's a chance. I'll call Grant to ask." John Ford stood up, called, said a few words, turned around with joy, and said, "Grant is about to look for us. Let's go, where will he go!"

"What are you doing to him?" Victor asked.

John Ford looked mysterious: "You will know then."

Hollywood City Hall. Grant's office.

When Victor and others came in, they saw smoke rising in the office. Grant and Bernano were sucking in the clouds and the atmosphere was very warm.

"Victor, hahaha, come on, wait for you." As soon as he saw Victor, Grant greeted him intimately, hugged Victor and came in.

Victor sat down on the sofa, staring at Bernano, and nodded slightly.

"Our Mr. Ferro seems to have some objections to me." Bernano shrugged.

"Otherwise, how about you, a bitch?" Anthony, the fat bear.

Grant laughed: "It's great, it's all friends, and it's a family in the future. These unpleasant things will be written off."

"Who is his family with him? Who do I recognize him?" Anthony rolled his eyes.

Grant turned around and said to Victor: "Victor, is your crew's capital chain broken now?"

This sentence made Victor frown.

Only his own and his group knew about the crew of "This Killer Not Too Cold" that had no money. Even John Ford did not tell Grant on the phone before, how did he know?

Thank you for your rewards and support. A book friend said, Xiao Zhang, you are the director, Long Live Er, why has nothing to do with the first part? Haha, how can it be okay? It’s cute, the content is still Hollywood, and the era is the first part is written in the 1930s. This part starts in 40, showing Hollywood in the golden age. Characters are a new task, but the matter is still Hollywood. Xiao Zhang doesn’t like to stir up cold rice and strives to build the full picture of this golden age for everyone.

If possible, if everyone is willing to support it, Xiao Zhang plans to continue writing, maybe there are three and four, haha, and it will be written until the 21st century. If this is the case, I think this series may create a creation that belongs to us in online literature, especially entertainment.
Chapter completed!
