Hardy Empire 1945

Ava Gardner is reading the script, which, if classified by film, should be considered a Western chivalrous film, with the protagonist being a bounty hunter named Jon.

Seeing the name Jon, Ava pursed her lips and smiled. It was Hardy who used his own name.

When she saw the heroine's name, she was stunned again, because the heroine's name was Marissa, Ava thought, when writing the heroine, did Hardy think of his own name.

The story of the whole script is very good. After watching the play, Hardy told her that Hardy wrote it himself. In the past, Ava only thought Hardy was a rude man, but he was so talented that he could write Such a good script.

At this moment, Ava has a strong sense of admiration for Hardy.

He is no ordinary gang leader.

But a talented gang leader who understands art.

Thinking of this, Ava suddenly felt that Jon, the Red Dead man in the script, had a good character, and Hardy really looked a bit like him.

rough,

But there is a chivalrous heart.

If I hadn't met him at the beginning, maybe I'm still living in the shadow of that devil agent, and in the end it was Hardy who saved me.

Just then the door was pushed open.

Hardy walked in with Director Nolan, Ava woke up from his thoughts, looked up at the two, Ah, you're back.

Saying that, stand up quickly.

Seeing someone beside Hardy, Ava looked a little reserved.

Nolan looked at the woman in front of him, and the first impression he gave him was amazing. This woman is very beautiful. Even among those female stars in Hollywood, she is considered to be the top.

The body proportion is perfect, the calf is slender, the face is that kind of atmospheric beauty, bright and bright with the taste of perseverance.

No wonder Hardy is so attentive.

If I have such a girlfriend, I will be very careful.

Ava, let me introduce you, this is Jonathan Nolan, the director of Red Dead Redemption.

Hello, Mr. Director. Ava saluted gently.

Hello Miss Gardner.

Hardy looked at Nolan and asked with a smile, This is the heroine I found for you, what do you think?

Nolan looked at Ava, but shook his head without speaking.

Why did the director shake his head, did he miss him, Ava Gardner immediately became nervous.

She is so beautiful. Originally, in my imagination, Marissa was not so beautiful, but just now I suddenly felt that a woman who could be snatched away by Romon should be so beautiful that people couldn't help but take her away.

Hearing this, Ava's mood dropped slightly.

Seeing Ava holding the script in her hand, Nolan said to the woman, Miss Gardner, you should have read the script.

Well, I saw it.

Then it doesn't matter whether you can perform a paragraph according to the plot in the script, Nolan said.

Ava Gardner had also studied acting for more than a year before, and had just read the script and had some understanding of the character Marisa in the script.

Just now she also thought that Hardy was Jon the Red Dead Redemption, and she was the Marisa who was rescued by him, and she was brought into the role unknowingly.

Ava walked in the middle, her steps staggered slightly, her eyes became melancholy, and her voice was filled with sadness, Romon, don't hurt my child, don't.

After saying that, he turned around and hugged something, and hugged him tightly, tears streaming down his face, Please, Romon, please let him go, he is innocent, I will obediently go back with you, never again. Ran.

His face was full of sadness and despair.

Okay, the acting is very good, Miss Gardner is very suitable for this role, I think the heroine can already be determined. Nolan said loudly.

Nolan is not stupid. This woman is Hardy's original heroine. Besides, this woman's acting skills are also reasonable, and she looks beautiful.

Completely capable of being a heroine.

Ava wiped away her tears and almost jumped up with excitement, anyone could see the excitement and excitement in his eyes.

This is her first role in her life.

The three sat down, and Nolan said to Hardy: The most important thing now is to find a male protagonist who matches the protagonist Jon's temperament. This is very important. I have thought about the suitable male actors in Hollywood now, and there are a few I'm very optimistic about Henry Fonda, but his salary is about $350,000, which is too expensive, and McCree or Cobain are also fine, but they also pay more than $100,000.

Hardy shook his head, As I said about this movie, all the money is used to shoot, not with stars, there are second- and third-tier actors in Hollywood, their acting skills are not bad, we can choose suitable actors in it.

Nolan agrees with Hardy.

Okay, I'll let you go to the Actors Guild to pick people, and I'll show you the list after I get the list. Hardy, I'm leaving first, I can't wait to set up the crew now. Nolan stood up and said.

Hardy smiled and sent Nolan out the door.

There were only Hardy and Ava left in the office, Ava immediately lost the restraint she had just now and threw herself on Hardy, Hadi, I can really be the heroine, I'm so happy, it's like a dream.

Is it a sweet dream?

Yes, a beautiful dream. The woman nodded.

Then keep doing it, don't wake up.

After the woman was excited, she picked up the script and looked like it was the most beautiful thing in the world. Hardy made a cup of tea, lit a cigar and started smoking.

thing about movies.

The reason why movie companies are looking for big stars is that big stars have good acting skills, but this is only a small part of the reason, and the main reason is to use their fame to attract people into the cinema.

Just like the directors of later generations, they know that Xiao Xianrou's acting skills are bad, but they have traffic and can attract audiences to the cinema. You can't do it with other actors.

Before each movie is broadcast, it will be vigorously promoted. In many cases, the cost of publicity and distribution accounts for a large part of the cost of the movie, and some even exceed the production cost.

The idea is to get people to buy tickets to go to the cinema.

How do I promote my movie in the future? The traditional way of publicity must be very expensive. Hardy is searching for the publicity strategy of later generations in his mind, hoping to use it.

Jon, does this movie have a theme song? Ava suddenly asked next to him.

theme song?

Yes, Gone with the Wind theme song 'My True Love', I just love it to death, there are many theme songs, and it is more famous than the movie.

A flash of light suddenly flashed in Hardy's mind.

Yup,

Movie interlude.

If you get an episode of a movie and play it on the radio, make the song popular first, and advertise that it is an episode of a movie, but don't say the name, people will be very curious, and when the movie comes out, plus the promotion of the song, the effect will be I'm afraid it's better than throwing a lot of money.

What song do you use?

Let someone in the company's arranger write a song?

I'm afraid those people don't have the ability to write a hit song.

Might as well take a classic from the future.

Hardy was originally good at English, and liked listening to English songs, especially some old classic songs, which were played on a loop while driving.

He suddenly thought of a song, closed his eyes and hummed softly.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,

Say hello to someone who lives there for me,

He used to be my true love.

Hardy's voice was a little low, and his singing level was at best karaoke level, but his singing voice immediately attracted Ava.

This beautiful tone was something she had never heard before.

Immerse yourself in it quickly.

Hardy stopped after only one stanza and looked at Ava, who was shocked, This is a song I wrote before, based on a British folk song, what do you think?

Ava Gardner covered her mouth in surprise.

God, Hardy, you can actually write a song, and it's so beautiful, this song is so good, I just listened to it and was deeply attracted by it.

Ava Gardner walked up to Hardy, her eyes were full of admiration, she held the man's face and said softly:

Hadi, you are the most talented man I have ever met.
