Chapter 21 The big boss's mockery

Seeing Ingrid Bergman and Victor shake hands and laugh at each other, Hollywood Mayor Jenny Grant and others were amazed.

"It is rare to see Miss Bergman smile so brightly. Haha." Adolf Chuck showed his big yellow teeth and said to John Ford: "John, this one is..."

John Ford slapped his forehead: "I forgot this. Everyone, please allow me to introduce you solemnly, this young man, Victor Ferro, a promising screenwriter genius!"

The big guys led by Adolf Chuck have seen countless people. In their eyes, big stars and directors are simply overwhelming, let alone screenwriters.

But Lemmer seemed a little interested and said, "I have known John for so many years, and I really want to never hear him praise him as a genius. Mr. Fellow, I'm happy to know you."

"Mr. Lemmer has been awarded, I am just a small back." Victor's humility made Lemmer very happy.

However, Victor's next words made these big men look complicated.

Victor said: "But Uncle John said less just now, I am the boss of Legendary Film Company."

"Legendary Film Company?" Adolf Chuck looked at Grant: "Does we have such a film company in Hollywood?"

As Hollywood mayor, Grant was most familiar with the situation in Hollywood and shook his head blankly.

"It's true that this film company was just born twenty minutes ago." Victor shook the document in his hand.

"Oh." Who is Adolf Chuck? He could see the clues at a glance. Although he didn't say anything, there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Sam Warner is a straightforward person and smiled: "There are not dozens of new film companies in Hollywood every year, and there are not many that can stay."

Lemmer, however, was very happy and said, "This is a good thing. Young people must strive for it. We were not the same when we first started. People, as long as they have dreams and work hard, they will always gain. Mr. Ferro, we look forward to a day of cooperation with your legend."

Victor was a man named Lemmer.

"Let's take a look first." Adolf Chuck smiled and said, "If Mr. Ferro can still be in this identity next year."

"Mr. Ferro, I really admire you." Ingrid Bergman smiled brightly.

"How do you say this?" Victor said.

Bergman said: "I came from Sweden. The biggest feeling in recent years is that Hollywood is a quagmire. No one helps or supports it. It is basically impossible to take your own path. If you can start a film company, this courage is enough to impress me."

"Hahahaha. Miss Bergman has won the award. I like your performance very much. I hope that there will be a day of cooperation in the future." What Victor said was not a joke at all.

"Mr. Fellow, do you know how much it costs for Miss Bergman to star in a movie now?" Adolf Chuck was about to laugh.

Bergman is only a second-rate actress with a first-time reputation in Hollywood. Compared with female stars such as Beckford and Garbo, it is still much worse. However, judging from her relationship with Adolf Chuck, it seems that Paramount has begun to support this future first lady in Hollywood.

"Mr. Fellow, this joke cannot be made randomly." Sam Warner smiled.

Everyone laughed.

The laughter will be filled with a kind of ridicule that sounds normal but is uncomfortable.

Bergman didn't laugh. The elf-like woman said to Victor: "Thanks to Mr. Ferro for his kindness, I hope there will be such a day."

"Ingrid, it's getting late, so let's go to the company to talk about the cooperation issues of the next movie." Adolf Chuck yawned.

"Okay." Ingrid Bergman smiled at Victor and followed Adolf Chuck out of the door.

Then Sam Warner and others left one after another.

"Jenny, what's going on?" John Ford grabbed Grant and pointed to the big guys outside the door.

Hollywood Mayor Jenny Grant smiled bitterly: "What else can be done? It's just a scheming. The competition in the film market this year is very fierce. You know, as far as I know, there are more than a dozen movies this year. In addition, major film companies have launched main movies, and the next Oscars will be lively. So if these guys want to unite, at least, they can support each other and not only make a lot of money, they can also give their opponents the biggest blow. Do you know the opponents I mentioned, right?"

"I understand." John Ford was able to understand it at once.

Of course Victor also understands that Paramount's biggest opponents are MGM, Paramount, Warner Bros., and Universal United, and the finger must be Louis Mayer's MGM.

Of course, MGM is not the commander of the barely-selling team, and Colombia, United States and others are also a group of younger brothers.

In Hollywood, there have never been any fixed friends or enemies among the eight major film companies. Because of interests, any friend can become enemies, and any enemy can become friends.

This is too normal.

However, for Victor, these messy things between the eight major film companies have nothing to do with him, or have nothing to do with his legendary film company.

My own legendary film company is now a typical bag company. Not to mention the eight major film companies, even the third-rate film companies in Hollywood have a reason to look down on them.

In Hollywood, strength is always the truth. If you want to avoid being looked down upon, you have to make achievements step by step.

Victor, have this confidence.

John Ford led Victor into Janney Grant's office.

Grant has a good temper and is a typical good old man.

John Ford's intention was very clear, just to make Victor and Grant familiar with him. Although Grant had no power at all, he had a friendship with major film companies, which was a Hollywood legend. If you have a good relationship with him, you will have good benefits but no harm.

"Victor, the courage to set up a film company is commendable, but I remind you that it is not enough to rely on courage in Hollywood. Over the years, I have seen too many film companies that have become past mists. There is no need to mention the small companies. Even the first National Film Company, Vitagraf, which was once the top film company, was not finally reborn in the dust."

"Victor, if you want to survive and grow, there is only one way, that is, to keep making good movies. This is the kingdom."

Grant completely regarded Victor as one of his juniors and was willing to go to the fore.

"I understand this, Mr. Grant." Victor was very grateful and said, "I think I will start preparing for my first movie right away. Please support me when the time comes."

"The first movie is about to be made?" Grant was surprised and interested, looking at John Ford and said, "Really?"

John Forte nodded and said, "Jenny, we have been dating for so many years. Do you think I'll misjudgment? This kid has a trick, just wait and see."
