Hardy Empire 1945

Los Angeles is more than a thousand kilometers away from New Mexico. Hardy took Henry and Matthew by plane to Albuquerque, the largest city in New Mexico.

There is still more than 100 kilometers away from the filming base. Hardy asked Henry to directly buy a car and drive to the film and television base.

After watching Ava, he was going to drive back to Los Angeles. Anyway, he had two drivers and the distance of 1,000 kilometers could be driven back in a day.

They bought a Studebaker sedan, the same car Yu Zecheng promised to give to the station master in the TV series Hidden.

The car drove out of the city, the road was full of wilderness on both sides, and there were rolling mountains in the distance. The climate in New Mexico is dry and hot, so there is very little vegetation here, both the mountains and the ground are bare and there is no beauty.

Occasionally pass through a village, all of which are square mud houses with long wooden shafts on the roof. There are few cars on the road, and only two donkey carts are seen along the way, revealing a strong rural Mexican style.

Finally arrived at the shooting base.

As soon as the car came in, Hardy found that it was very similar to the Mexican town in the movie, and it was possible that the towns here were similar.

The car stopped,

Many staff looked over.

Hardy got out of the car and someone recognized him.

Mr. Hardy is here, hurry up and inform Director Nolan. Someone shouted.

Before Director Nolan came over, a beautiful figure appeared at the door of a house. The woman was wearing a long Mexican dress, her hair was rolled up, and she was dressed simply, but even so, it was still difficult to hide the beauty of a woman.

Hadi~!

Ava trotted over, didn't brake at all when she got to the man, and gave him a hug.

The staff who saw it all laughed.

Many of them here knew that Ava was the woman of Hardy's assistant, and there were even rumors that Hardy's assistant invested in the film just for her.

Not long after, director Nolan and starring Eastwood and others came out one after another. The two exchanged a few words. Hardy said to Henry: Remove the red wine from the car and give it to the crew to drink.

The crew were all happy when they heard it, Thanks to Assistant Hardy for his concern.

into the house,

Several people chatted about the movie situation.

The filming of the movie went smoothly, although there were some minor problems in the middle, such as the explosion scene where too much explosives were used, someone fell off the horse and broke his leg during a battle on horseback, Eastwood was scratched by the exploding stone and so on.

But it's all settled. Filming is like this, and no one will be hospitalized for only scratching a finger.

How's Ava doing? Hardy asked Nolan.

Nolan looked at Ava and said with a smile: To be honest, Miss Ava's acting skills were really jerky at first, but under my guidance, she gradually entered the role. The most important thing is that she is too beautiful. There's a beauty there.

Now that the film is halfway through, I am more and more confident in this film, but Assistant Hardy, there are some things I want to report to you. The money is almost spent, and our previous budget may not be enough.

After Nolan finished speaking, he looked at Hardy calmly.

Hardy could see that Nolan seemed to have no guilt about spending all the money ahead of time.

Is over-budgeting a must-have skill for every director?

And looking at him like this, I've run out of flowers anyway, what do you like, I can't work on without adding more.

It reminded him of Siegel.

He plays Las Vegas casinos, and it seems to be the same way. I can spend what I want anyway, and when I run out, I ask investors for money.

How many shots still need to be completed, and how many are expected to be needed? Hardy asked.

Two-thirds of it has been completed, and about 100,000 is needed. Nolan felt a little embarrassed after saying that.

80,000 is not enough.

Hardy said in his heart, fortunately, I have some spare money in my hand recently, otherwise I will really be sucked to death by you.

I'll take another 50,000. If it doesn't work, I'll consider whether I need to change the director. Hardy said.

Row.

Nolan agreed.

After talking about money, Nolan took Eastwood away. They still had scenes to shoot, and only Hardy and Ava were left in the room.

Ava looked at Hardy, hugged him and kissed him.

......

It took a long time to separate.

How does it feel to film, is it very different from your previous fantasy? Hardy asked while pinching the woman's chin.

Filming is very tiring, but it is also very interesting. I like this feeling. In fact, I don't have many roles, but I will follow the filming crew every day, just want to see more and learn more. The difference between this kind of on-site learning and the teacher's teaching is still Quite big. Ava said.

By the way, your songs are very popular now, you are famous, you know? Hardy said with a smile.

Ava smiled.

I go back to the city every other week for purchases. In addition to buying food, I will also bring newspapers. I have seen reports in the newspapers. They say that this song is very popular now, and it has even spread to Europe and the United States.

As Ava spoke, her lips came together,

As soon as they spoke, their lips collided.

Actually, the biggest credit for this song is you. Such a good song can be popular with anyone. I just met you because of luck.

Just when the two were about to approach again, a man's voice suddenly came from outside, Miss Gardner, are you there? I'm here to visit you.

Hardy looked at Ava.

Ask who is outside with your eyes?

Anger flashed across Ava Gardner's face.

He calls himself David Walsh, the owner of a listed mining company. A month ago, he brought people to a nearby mountain to inspect a copper mine, and he came to the crew by accident. When he saw me, he entangled me. I don't want to deal with that person.

Director Nolan also warned that person, but he didn't care at all, he was still a stalker and would come every few days.

Hardy smiled and took Ava's hand out of the room.

He found that many people from the crew came out to watch, looking like they were watching the fun.

On the street of the town, a man in a white suit stood there, in his thirties, holding a bunch of flowers and a moustache, looking handsome.

David originally had a bright smile on his face, but when he saw a man come out holding Ava's hand, the smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes looked at Hardy with hostility.

Who are you?

David looked at Hardy and asked.

Hardy smiled.

I'm the producer of the crew and Ava's boyfriend. Who are you and who let you join our crew at will. Hardy asked.

David was stunned.

When he drove over, he saw a new car parked at the entrance of Zhenzi, and he thought it was this person who drove it, but Studepunk was not a good car for him, and the opponent's strength was not necessarily good.

I'm the boss of Wash Mining. I admire Miss Gardner very much, and I came to visit her specially. Even if she has a boyfriend, can't she meet other friends?

David said proudly.

David Walsh is a typical playboy. He took over a listed mining company from his father's hands and has assets of more than one million US dollars. He is definitely a rich man in the United States.

In recent years, the mining company has not been doing well, and the company's stock price has continued to decline. Later, the company bought a piece of land in New Mexico to dig and dig. David came to stay for a few days and felt extremely boring. Immediately shocked.

Later, when I asked Ava's name, I was even more surprised when I thought of Ava Gardner, the singer of the recent fire.

He took the initiative to approach Ava, and tried to use his playboy skills to get Ava, but he didn't know that Ava used to be in a nightclub.

politely refuse.

But David was a stubborn stalker, coming over every now and then, and making the pursuit of Ava the greatest pleasure in New Mexico.

Hardy was most disgusted by such self-righteous playboys, and had no interest in bickering at all. Henry and Matthew were next to them, and Hardy said to them: Get this guy out of the way.

Henry and Matthew stepped forward, and David Walsh looked at them with a bad face, I warn you, I am the chairman of a listed company, and I am someone you can't afford to offend.

Matthew laughed.

Pulled the revolver out of him.

David Walsh thought that Matthew was an actor, and the guns that the actors brought should be props when shooting Westerns here. How could he be scared by a prop gun.

Bang~!

Matthew fired a shot at David, and the rose in David's hand exploded, and the petals fell one after another.

Ah~!

David jumped up in surprise.

He didn't expect that the other party's gun turned out to be real.

Wow~~!

The crew members who were watching the lively around were also startled and let out a light cry.

Bang bang bang bang ~!

It's not over yet,

After Matthew exploded the flowers in David's hand, he continued to shoot him again and again, and David froze in place.

Wait for the gunfire to stop.

People saw that David Walsh had a few more bullet holes in the corners of his clothes, the toe of his shoes, and the brim of his hat. Matthew blew the muzzle and put the gun into the holster smartly. This action is very western and fits this very well. The atmosphere of the set.

clap clap clap ~!

The staff watching the lively next to them applauded. They have seen the shots of the sharpshooter in the movie, but this is the first time that the shooting skills are like gods in reality, and it feels more exciting than the movie.

David Walsh was horrified.

stiff body,

There is also a wet feeling in the lower body.

He looked down.

Pants are wet.

The wet streaks were very conspicuous on the white suit.

Ah~!

David Walsh let out a scream, dropped the flower stalk in his hand, and staggered towards the car. After a while, he jumped into the car, slammed on the gas pedal, and the car staggered and rushed out. Fortunately, there was no space around. hit something.
