Chapter 80
Legendary Film Company Office.
Duncan, who had just been released from prison, killed two plates of steak in a storm, his mouth full of oil.
"Slow down, slow down, no one will compete with you." Nicholas Sink looked at Duncan like this and laughed.
Looking at the old man's appearance, he probably suffered a lot in prison.
After eating and drinking, Duncan stood up and bent over to Victor: "Mr. Victor, thank you for taking me out."
"I wasn't so kind-hearted at first, so I'll take you for a purpose." Victor opened the drawer, took out the script inside, and handed it to Duncan: "This is the script. You are one of the two protagonists inside. Come on, get familiar with it first."
Duncan looked at Victor, read the script again, but didn't answer.
"What?" Victor saw Duncan like this and thought Duncan had any thoughts.
Duncan's face was flushed: "Mr. Victor, I, I, I am illiterate,"
"Ah?" Victor was really surprised.
But thinking about it, I understand. In this era, black people have a low social status and the work they do is the lowest level of work. Many people have not gone to school, so how can they know their words?
"Is it really a supporting actor?" Duncan looked at the script.
"Yeah." Victor handed the script to Parker: "Gregory, you two are playing opposite each other, you read the script to Duncan."
Parker took it and said, "Boss, it's okay to read me now, but Duncan was illiterate when he was acting. What should he do? With so many lines and dramas, how can he do it?"
This problem also gave Victor a headache.
Yes. The script is so long, and the contents in it require the actors to carefully pick up the script. Duncan is illiterate, which is a big trouble.
"It's okay, I can remember." Duncan pointed to his head and smiled honestly.
Then Parker read the script again, and Duncan listened carefully. During Parker's reading, Duncan didn't say a word, but just looked out the window with deep eyes.
"How is it?" Nicholas asked.
Duncan nodded, his eyes turned red: "Mr. Victor, your script is written so well. The characters and things in it are as real and touching as you have seen with your own eyes. Especially the old prisoner inside, the librarian, who hangs himself after he goes out. This matter is simply written in my heart, because I was so worried before I was released from prison. And I am very sure that once I am released, I will most likely go on this path. Therefore, Mr. Victor, being able to act in your movie is my greatest honor in my life."
"Hahaha! Then this character is left to you. During this period, you and Pike can pick up the scripts. After Fred's movie is completed, I think we can do it immediately." A stone in Victor's heart finally fell to the ground.
That night, Legend Film Company held a year-end cocktail party in the hall. It was said that it was a cocktail party, but there were actually very few people. But everyone was dressed very neatly and had a cup of wine.
"Everyone, this year is the first year of the establishment of our Legendary Film Company. Although we only filmed one movie, we are very satisfied with it. Let's do it next year!" Victor picked up the wine glass and said loudly.
"Damn it!" everyone shouted.
I drank until ninety o'clock, and the group was dizzy. At this time, Baggins walked over.
"Boss, there's a girl looking for you." Baggins whispered.
"Who?" Victor pulled his tie.
"You'll know if you go and take a look, you're running a company." Baggins looked mysterious and mysterious.
Victor left the hall and came to the office. He pushed the door open and saw a beautiful back appearing in his sight.
Ingmar Bergman.
Bergman heard the door ringing and saw Victor with a bright smile on his face.
That smile was like the lily in the valley, pure and warm.
"Come?" Victor was not polite and poured Bergman a cup of tea.
"Your place is so lively." Bergman took the tea and said with a smile.
Compared to her lonely home, it is indeed lively.
Victor pulled over the chair and sat opposite Bowman: "How are you doing recently?"
"It's great." Bergman smiled, "I followed your advice and went to Mr. Lemmer. He was very happy to accept me. I will star in two movies this year. Thank you, Victor."
"This is what you deserve. Ingmar, you have to believe that you will definitely become a superstar in the future." Victor smiled.
After saying this, the two of them suddenly seemed to be unable to find the topic, and the room became silent, and the atmosphere was awkward.
"Is there any new film recently?" Bergman said.
"Oh, yes, yes, Fred has a movie, I wrote and directed it," Victor said.
"That must be a good movie," Bergman said.
Victor laughed: "Ah? No, how could you know that this is a good movie before you watch it?"
"I believe in the movies you are the screenwriter." Bergman carefully cleaned his hair and said, "Where are you? Do you have any works?"
"There is one, now in preparation." Victor scratched his head.
Bergman was a little excited when he heard this, and took a deep breath and said, "Victor, can I ask, are there female characters in this movie?"
"I'm afraid there is no play between two men." Victor said.
"Oh..." Bergman lowered his head, as if he was a little disappointed.
Victor suddenly remembered something: "However, in Fred's movie, there is a female character. I've been having a headache about where to find an actor. Although he is the heroine, he doesn't have many scenes. If you don't mind..."
"I do!" Bergman agreed immediately before Victor finished speaking.
"Ah?" Victor was stunned.
"The Old Nothing to Belongs" is basically a man's drama. Apart from the old cowboy's wife, there are no women, and even this woman does not have many scenes.
Although Bergman is not a first-line star now, he is also a famous person in Hollywood and the audience likes it very much. She is really useless to play such a small role.
"I do!" Bergman stared at Victor very seriously: "I hope to be a play written by you. Of course, I would be very honored to be your heroine in the future."
"Haha, you look down on me too highly. OK, then that's what it takes, in terms of pay..."
Bergman shook his head: "Forget the pay. Haha, as long as you promise me that I will be your heroine once in the future."
"This is OK." Victor was not polite.
The two of them looked at each other and were about to talk, but the door opened with a bang. Monroe came in drunkenly: "Long guy..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Victor and Bergman living in the same room, and Monroe pouted his lips instantly.
Chapter completed!
