Hardy Empire 1945

After coming out of the bank, the salesman congratulated with a beaming expression on his face, Mr. Hardy is amazing. He bought that toy factory for less than 40,000 yuan. Now, even if he sells it directly, he can earn 10,000 to 20,000 US dollars.

You also earned commissions, didn't you. Hardy said with a smile.

Mr. Hardy, if you need anything in the future, you can contact me at any time. My name is Edward. He handed a business card with both hands.

Didn't you give it before? Hardy asked in surprise as he took the business card.

Edward smiled, I'm used to handing over a business card when I meet with clients, so that I can easily communicate with them. If a business is made, I will hand over another business card to make a better impression, and ask clients to remember my name.

When doing business with old customers, the success rate is often several times that of new customers.

Hardy felt that this guy's analysis was right. If he didn't hand over his business card, he would be a trick without a name.

I came to the toy factory again, and now it is completely owned by Hardy, Sean, find someone to renovate the factory's office building and dormitory building, and the yard needs to be taken care of, and then find someone to make a brand, 'HD Commercial Security company', this will be the headquarters of the security company in the future.

Good boss.

After walking around the office building, there is a large basement below, Hardy had an idea, Sean, let someone remodel this place.

What's it going to be like?

If it becomes a gun store, how can the security company not have its own gun store, Hardy said with a smile.

He imagined that this basement with a total area of ​​200 square meters, surrounded by guns and ammunition, must be very shocking.

Adults in the United States are eligible to buy guns and ammunition. There are many guns and gun battles can happen at any time. The security company must apply for a legal certificate to wear a gun. Now the business license of the HD security company has been issued, and the procedures for legal possession of weapons are still under review. middle.

This does not prevent getting an arsenal.

Regardless of the fact that Sean was fighting normally, his brain was still quite smart, and he had no problem with the decoration of the security company.

After the nest is set up, will there be fewer men?

Henry and the others will take some time to recruit people. Hardy thought that he hadn't gone to the film company for several days. He still has the identity of the assistant to the chairman of Noah Film Company. Although he doesn't take money, he has to work.

Driving to the film company, Susan at the front desk smiled charmingly at Hardy, Assistant Hardy good afternoon.

Is it all afternoon?

Good afternoon Susan, I haven't seen your skin in a few days. Hardy said with a smile.

Susan's face was full of joy when she was said, and her big eyes flickered at Hardy.

If Hardy invited her to dinner now, she would definitely agree.

Let's play a house game at night.

But he now has an Ava Gardner that he can eat at any time. That woman is considered the best in the whole of Hollywood, which makes Hardy's mouth a bit tricky.

Just when I came to my office, Cohen, the general manager of the film company, pushed the door and came in, Hadi, I originally wanted to call you, but I didn't expect you to come over this afternoon.

What's the matter, General Manager Cohen? Hardy asked.

The movie we discussed in the previous meeting, Warners thought it was okay after reading the script. They agreed to cooperate in the filming. We will have a meeting in the afternoon to settle the matter and prepare to sign with Warners. Cohen said.

Okay, I'll be there on time.

After drinking a cup of coffee brought by Susan, I came to the conference room. The general manager Cohen and the heads of several other departments have all arrived.

Cohen looked at the document in his hand and said:

Warner has agreed to cooperate with that movie, but Warner said that it will revise the script. The previous plot is still a bit fragmented. The name of the movie has been determined and it is called 'Golden Desperados'.

Hearing the name, Hardy searched the memory in his mind.

Um,

no memory.

In other words, this movie has been drowned in the vast sea of ​​shadows.

Later film investors concluded an eight-two rule, which means that eight out of ten movies lose money, and the remaining two make money or not.

Since the 1940s and 1950s, Hollywood has produced thousands of movies every year. After decades of accumulation, how many people can remember.

There are very few movies that make a name for themselves and make a lot of money, so they can be called classics among classics.

Cohen continued.

Warner is willing to cooperate in filming, but they must be the mainstay. The production team is Warner's, and we only invest.

The meaning is very clear, Warner only needs the script, and it has to be changed, and the rest only accepts Noah's investment, and Warner has the final say.

The capital world is like this, whoever has the strength has the final say.

Then our actors are dead again. I have dozens of actors who have been off for half a year? Thomas, the director of the performing arts department, frowned.

Hans, the head of the production department, was even more dissatisfied. The director's team, the screenwriter's team, the photographer, the lighting engineer, the prop engineer, and the music department, I have more people idle.

General Manager Cohen spread his hands helplessly, Of course I know, but we're not sure about that movie, aren't we, and we don't have enough funds, so we can only listen to Warner's advice, or even the investment will be aborted.

In the end, the matter was reluctantly finalized. The film called Golden Desperados was handed over to Warner to produce, and Noah invested 150,000 shares.

After the meeting, Hardy went to Thomas' office to chat, and Thomas complained, Even if you shoot a small-budget movie, if you continue to be in a daze like this, I am afraid that the film company will really be finished soon.

What's wrong with Cohen? Hardy asked with a smile.

The person who should be replaced the most in the entire company is Cohen. He has no vision, no achievements, no brains, and no connections. The boss handed the film company to him, and he didn't make a penny for the boss. Thomas said.

Hardy said in his heart that this guy would not want to pass these words to Siegel through his assistant to the chairman.

Ha ha,

interesting.

There are rivers and lakes everywhere.

Such a small film company is no exception.

Hardy went back to his office and lit a cigarette.

Originally he wanted to get Ava Gardner a small role if the movie started, but now it's given to Warner, and the role seems to be in vain.

Noah can't go on like this.

An idea flashed in Hardy's mind, would it be okay to invest in a low-budget movie by himself?

He has seen countless movies in later generations, and any one he picks out is a classic. It shouldn't be difficult to find a low-budget movie.

Make money and raise girls.

But the movie can't let Noah work.

Noah has too many questions.

And this is someone else's company, even if the boss is Siegel, he doesn't have the noble sentiment to make wedding dresses for others.

How much can you spend now?

He earned 170,000 from two robberies, and spent 40,000 to buy a toy factory, but he could use the toy factory as a mortgage and get a sum of money back.

In addition to keeping a part of the expenses, it should be possible to come up with 150,000.

A $150,000 investment in a movie, even now in 1946, is a small production.

What to shoot?

Hardy had a flash in his mind of a movie he had played on a PS4 that was based on a movie.

Later generations are known as one of the Western classics.

In 1964, the film only invested 200,000, but it received tens of millions of dollars at the box office and received numerous accolades.

Hardy took out a stack of letter paper and wrote a name with a pen.

Red Dead Redemption.

summary of the story:

Jon, a lone bounty hunter, came to the border town of Mexico. He learned that the two groups of forces in the town, the Romon Brothers and the sheriff, Baxter, kept fighting, and the townspeople were struggling, so they decided to eliminate the two groups of evil forces in the town. .

There is a female character in the movie, a woman who was snatched and occupied by Romon, the only female character in the play, not many scenes but very recognizable, Hardy thinks Marisa is very suitable for this role.

The outline was about three or four thousand words. Hardy felt that the whole story had been explained very clearly, so he picked up the phone and called the office.

Mr. Hardy, what's the matter with you?

Help me call the company's screenwriters, I have something to look for them. Hardy said.

Industry specializing in surgery,

He doesn't know how to write a script, so he will naturally leave it to a professional screenwriter to do it. There are suitable people here.
