Hardy Empire 1945

Hardy had ordered Bill to send someone to San Francisco to pay attention to the situation of the Mafia Selton family.

Now that the patriarch of the Selton family is being investigated by the FBI, there is internal turmoil. Hardy called Bill and ordered him to send more people to San Francisco to investigate the Selton family's business in depth.

Sometimes in business, there is no need to have a direct conflict with the other party. We can take advantage of multiple parties, such as newspapers, police, patrols and even the FBI.

The Selton family's business is all underworld business. If you find clues to these businesses, provide them to the police, use the power of the police to attack him, find evidence of his tax evasion, hand it over to the tax bureau, find evidence of his crime and hand it over to the tax bureau. The FBI, he can do whatever he wants. Hardy said with a smile.

Bill couldn't stop nodding.

Then think of your own business.

Boss, if others use this method to deal with us, how should Los Angeles deal with it? Bill asked with some concern.

That's why I told you to be careful in doing things before, black business is black business, and you will never see the light.

The business in Los Angeles is now in charge of different levels. If we encounter a strong investigation, we can directly cut off our arms and lose some of our subordinates at most. No one else can even try to find a higher level, and they will not be able to touch the foundation of Los Angeles.

Over there in San Francisco, you send more people to investigate the situation and report it to Henry and the others in time. The security company will use legitimate means to deal with the Selton family. As long as you touch him a few times, the Selton family will be seriously injured.

Okay boss, I will send more people over there.

 …

After Bill left, Hardy got a call.

Mr. Hardy, I'm back in Los Angeles. Elizabeth Taylor's sweet voice came from the phone.

The Killer Is Not So Cold is about to be released. During this time, Taylor has been running outside to promote. He hasn't seen Hardy for a long time. When he came back, he couldn't wait to contact Hardy.

Are you tired? Hardy asked concerned.

It's true that I'm a little tired, but thinking that the movie will be released soon, I'm very excited and worried. Taylor said.

How could the story I wrote fail, hehe, don't worry. Hardy said with a smile.

The two chatted a few more words,

Xiao Nizi said: Mr. Hardy, the movie will be officially released the day after tomorrow, shall we watch it together?

Okay, let's go secretly. Hardy replied.

After a period of vigorous publicity, The Killer Is Not So Cold is finally about to be released. On the day of the release, Hardy sneaked into a theater in Los Angeles with Taylor.

The hero of this movie is Cary Grant, and it can be said that most of the audience entered the theater for him.

However, there were also people who aimed at Taylor. During the publicity, the MGM publicity team announced that Taylor was the Barbie doll Princess Taylor. Many little girls clamored to see Princess Taylor.

The cinema opened to a full audience.

Among them were many little girls.

There is no rating system for movies now. Movies like The Killer Are Not Too Cold, which have many bloody scenes of gun battles, can definitely be classified as special counseling. Children under the age of 13 should watch with their parents.

As the movie plays, people are gradually attracted by the plot.

Matilda's life was miserable at the beginning, but later her whole family was killed. After meeting Leon, her life gradually became more colorful.

The strength of a girl.

The care of the killer uncle.

Let this movie is full of alternative love taste.

The final shootout revenge scene pushed the plot to a climax.

Although the film is somewhat different from the killer that Hardy had seen in his previous life, it is still a rare good film.

Taylor's acting skills are also absolutely online.

When the show ends,

Many people walked out while discussing the plot.

I like an uncle like Cary Grant. He is so handsome. It would be great if I also met such an uncle. A five or six-year-old girl said.

Taylor is so beautiful. Her acting skills are very good. When I watched the movie, I completely forgot her previous image and felt like she was Matilda. A man said.

Taylor walked out holding Hardy's arm, and was very happy to hear people's discussions. Her efforts were recognized by everyone.

After watching the movie, Hardy was about to send Taylor home. Taylor looked at Hardy with purple eyes: Mr. Hardy, I want to go to your manor to play.

OK.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Hardy sent Taylor home. His lips were slightly swollen when he got out of the car. He ran to the door and turned to look at Hardy. He waved goodbye to him vigorously before entering the house.

Seeing her daughter coming back, Sarah happily asked, How's the movie going today?

The audience in the theater was full, and after watching the movie, many people praised me for my good acting skills. Taylor said happily.

That's great, Taylor, what did you and Mr. Hardy do after the movie? Sarah asked.

Hardy picked up Taylor in the afternoon and did not return until eleven o'clock in the evening, and the movie was over long ago.

Taylor's eyes flickered with panic.

I went to Mr. Hardy's manor and had dinner there. After dinner, Mr. Hardy told me that if I like the story of Beauty and the Beast, he will let the film company get the script. Taylor said .

Ah, is there a new movie?! Sara was pleasantly surprised.

Actors are most afraid of running out of scenes to shoot. Taylor knows Hardy, a big financial backer, and now he doesn't have to worry about running out of plays. Sara touched her daughter's face, and her daughter is really lucky.

By the way, Mr. Hardy also told me that if I want, I can go to ABC TV station to do a program. There is a children's doll program called Sesame Street on the TV station. I can play a character in it, and everyone else wears doll costumes. Only I don't have to wear them, I'm playing Princess Taylor.

Taylor said happily.

Sara was even happier, and now her daughter really didn't have to worry about having a role to play.

the next day.

Several newspapers published film review articles.

This Killer Is Not So Cold, the name is very novel. At first I didn't understand what it meant, but after I watched the movie, I finally knew the origin of the name. It's really not too cold.

He was originally a cold killer, but later he met a lovely girl. He cared for her, helped her, and grew up with her. The girl gradually fell in love with the killer. This is a kind of dependent love. I feel more like a girl who loves herself. Father.

The most memorable scene is that when the girl’s life was in danger and she asked the killer for help, the killer didn’t want to cause trouble, but after a fierce mental struggle, he finally opened the door. When the door opened, a ray of sunlight shone on the girl’s face Above all, the light at this moment is the light of life and humanity.

This movie is definitely worth your walk into the cinema. I believe that after watching this movie, you will remember it in your heart forever.

Most of the other film critics also gave this movie a very high evaluation. Many people commented that Elizabeth Taylor's performance has reached a new level, and she is not inferior to Oscar winner Cary Grant in the movie.

Of course there are noises.

Some film critics said that letting a 14-year-old girl fall in love with a 40-year-old uncle is in itself unethical and absolutely not worth advocating.

Fortunately, there are no intimate scenes in the movie, otherwise these people would directly block the movie.

Hardy received a report from MGM, and the movie viewing data for the first day came out. It was played in more than 900 movie theaters across the country, and the box office revenue reached an astonishing $950,000.

This is an extremely high number.

According to MGM's analysis, the total box office may reach more than 8 million, and may even hit tens of millions.

The ability to achieve such an effect is inseparable from the actor Cary Grant, but some people think that Taylor's influence is not inferior to Cary Grant at all, especially the promotion of the Barbie princess.

Mayer, the big boss of MGM, personally called Hardy to congratulate him. Hardy smiled, Our two co-produced this movie, and boss Mayer earns more than me.

Meyer paused and said.

Hardy, the people from your ABC broadcasting company approached MGM and wanted to buy MGM films, Hardy, are you optimistic about the future of television broadcasting? Mayer asked.

Very optimistic. Hardy said firmly.

Mayer thought about it.

To what extent do you think broadcast television will develop to become a threat to film? Mayer asked again.

Hehe, Mr. Meyer, to tell you the truth, I think it's more serious than what you said. It's not just a simple threat, but a comprehensive transcendence, and even seriously affects the future of the film industry. Hardy said.

Meyer felt that Hardy's words were a little alarmist.

The entire film industry reaches more than one billion US dollars every year, and more than 30 million people go to the cinema every year. We have box office revenue, copyright revenue, and theme parks. The TV industry only has advertising revenue. How can it surpass the film industry? ’” Meyer retorted.

Free, convenient, family, long-term, these are the advantages of the biggest TV. Hardy said.

Buy a TV and you can watch shows incessantly, whereas movies cost money every time.

The TV is placed at home and can be watched at any time, without having to prepare for a few days in advance to watch a movie, and people can enjoy TV at any time. After people have dinner, the whole family can watch TV in the living room, enjoying themselves. It can enhance the relationship between family members.”

A movie is only two or three hours long, and TV can be watched all day long. Now other TV stations only have five hours of programming a day. After my ABC starts, I will adjust it from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Mayer was surprised, Do you have so many shows?

Hehe, there are as many shows as you want. Hardy said with a smile.

Mayer was silent.

In fact, it's not that he can't see the advantages of TV and its impact on the future of movies. Other film companies have also seen some clues. For example, Paramount wants to acquire ABC.

It's just that it's not as scary as Hardy said. I always feel that TV can't replace movies.

Now that Hardy said this, Meyer's mind was shaken again, Haddy, can you sell the shares of ABC?

Hardy knew Mayer was tempted.

Sell.

Meyer was overjoyed.

How to sell?

10% of the shares are 10 million US dollars, and I can sell you 20% of the shares.

Meyer almost died of anger.

He has heard that Hardy bought 100% of ABC shares for only 12 million US dollars, and now selling 10% of them will cost 10 million US dollars, and the value has doubled by 10 times. \u003c/div\u003e
