Victor had no idea that he had been targeted by Hoover and Roosevelt at this moment, and he was busy working on "The Shawshank Redemption". During this period, Victor was very anxious. Because the meeting with Leni Riefenstahl caused a stir in the city, reporters outside Los Angeles Prison who came to ask for interviews every day rubbed shoulders with each other, which greatly affected the entire crew. Victor called Anthony over and asked him to interview this person. The help was sent away, but Nicholas Schink organized it. "Reporters can't be offended and can't be aggressive. Besides, everything has pros and cons. There are so many reporters, so it's good to let them promote our movie." As expected of the former Hollywood business king, Nicholas's mind is completely different from that of Victor. A grade. There were no problems at all in the filming of "The Shawshank Redemption". The crew was running very smoothly. After such a long period of time, both the actors and the photography department were fully committed to it, so there was no need for Victor to worry too much. During these depressing days, there is also some good news. The most important one is obviously "No Country for Old Men". This movie, which cost less than RMB 800,000 before and after investment, eventually grossed US$9.5 million at the box office and caused an uproar in Hollywood. Over the years, there have been many Hollywood movies that have exceeded this number, but there are only a handful of movies with such a disparity in investment and output. The audience liked it very much, and Hollywood filmmakers and film critics also praised the artistic features and quality of the film itself. It was both praised and praised, which made the reputation of Legendary Film Company suddenly rise a lot. And those who participated in the production of this film obviously benefited greatly. The first is Zinerman. Before filming this movie, Zinerman was a completely worthless third-rate person in Hollywood, not even a director. Now. With the brilliance of "No Country for Old Men", Zinerman has become the latest "up-and-coming director" of Hollywood venture capital. While gaining both fame and fortune, many film companies have secretly sent people to poach him. But Zinerman has no interest in these people at all: "I am a legendary person and have no interest in other companies." No matter how great the temptation is. Zineman also refused, which made Victor scold this guy for being a stubborn man who couldn't live with money. At the same time, Zineman was also greatly comforted. In addition to this, Victor himself is obviously getting some positive reviews for this movie. All Hollywood filmmakers know that this story originated from Victor. Although "This Killer Is Not So Cold" was scolded before, Victor's screenwriting ability has been fully recognized in Hollywood at this time. No matter who he is, he has nothing to say about Victor's coding ability. The biggest benefit that "No Country for Old Men" brings to Victor is obviously his performance. In this movie, the killer Anthony played by Victor not only conquered all audiences, but also conquered Hollywood filmmakers. "Hollywood Review" even made this evaluation: "Victor Ferro is not a good director, but starting from this movie. We feel that he can become a master of acting!" This made Victor dumbfounded. As for Jerry Cooper, who participated in the performance, his net worth and reputation have soared because of this movie. Before filming this movie, he was still a second-rate star at Warner Bros., but with the fame accumulated from this movie, he has now become a complete star. With the momentum of becoming an A-list star, Sam Warner was extremely polite to Jerry Cooper. Not only did he quickly sign a contract to improve Jia Li's salary, but he also provided Jia Li with all the incidental facilities of a first-class star, including private housing, for fear that Jia Li Cooper would be poached by Victor. It can be said that "No Country for Old Men" is a complete turnaround compared to "This Killer Isn't Too Cold". 9.5 million box office. According to the previous contract signed with Warner Bros. Pictures, Legendary Pictures directly purchased Warner Bros.'s first-class theater chain with half of the box office revenue-$4.75 million. For Legend Film Company, this is the most important thing since the company was founded. It is the common wish of all legends, including Victor, to have their own theater chain. so. The senior executives of Legendary Pictures came to Warner Bros. Pictures. In Sam Warner's office, they faced a map of Warner's theater distribution and began to cede territory. Victor is only interested in Warner's first-class cinemas, and which cinema to choose has already been decided with Nicholas. A total of 45 first-class theater chains are included. Without exception, these theater chains are located in big cities and occupy the most prosperous locations in big cities. Each of them has a long history and good reputation. Looking at the theater distribution map, more than 45 small flags were pulled out by Victor, and then inserted into the small sword-killing logo representing Legendary Film Company, Sam Warner clutched his chest in distress and almost stopped on the spot.?. "Sam, don't be like this, all the more than 9.5 million will belong to you." Victor smiled. "Stop coming! I'd rather not have that more than four million! My theater!" Sam Warner looked at Victor pitifully: "Victor, you know how we brothers worked hard to win these theaters. Are you talking nonsense? Now, you just reached out and took it away. " "Why do you want so many theaters?" Victor didn't care about this. He took the lawyer and completed the handover procedure on the spot. Then he felt relieved and gave it to Sam? Warner gave him a bear hug: "Happy cooperation!" "I will never cooperate with you again!" Sam Warner was about to cry. "You can't say anything so harshly. Cooperation still requires cooperation. If you have money, don't you make money?" Victor said happily. "You kid, you are so good!" Sam Warner was helpless. After accepting the offer of 45 theaters from Warner Bros. Pictures, Victor immediately called Anthony and Leo over. First, they sent people to quickly take over these theaters, retaining the original theater staff with preferential treatment to ensure that normal operations were not affected. They also used Anthony to settle the relationship between black and white. Then, they quickly registered and established the Legend Theater Company. Leo suddenly became the general manager, and Anthony also became the deputy general manager. With such a big deal, Victor completely left it to these two guys. "Damn, I'm not dreaming, am I? Not long ago I was a poor scumbag in Hollywood, and in the blink of an eye I became a respectable person. Hahaha." Leo was so happy. "If you run it well and use your energy, there will be more theater chains in the future, but remember, if you lose money and ruin your family, just commit suicide." Victor smiled. "Don't worry, this matter is left to me and Anthony. Everything will be fine if we are here." Leo and Anthony were full of confidence. And just when "No Country for Old Men" became a hit and won countless eyes from Hollywood, the emergence of several other movies quickly diverted Hollywood's attention. Several of these movies made Victor pay close attention to them.
