Hardy Empire 1945

Taylor found her mother Sarah, who saw her daughter and took the plate from her: Isa, I'm taking you to meet a director, Ronald Nim, who's been working on a western recently, and he There's a role in the movie that might be right for you.

After speaking, he took his daughter's hand and walked quickly to the hall.

Putting down the plate at the dining table, he pulled Taylor to a crowd, and in the middle was a man in his forties, the director Ronald Nim said by Sarah.

Ronald Nim is not a top Hollywood director, but he is also in the second tier. He is preparing to shoot a movie about the western development, mainly about the difficulties the family encountered in the western development.

There are seven members of the family, the father, mother, the eldest son, the second daughter, the youngest son and the youngest daughter, and a dog.

The second daughter was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and when Sarah heard it, she recommended her daughter Taylor to Ronald Nim.

Taylor has made two movies before, and is considered a little famous. Ronald Nim naturally knows what Taylor looks like. He thought about it and refused:

The role of the second daughter, I need to be a little more mature. She also has emotional dramas. She meets another family who also came to the west to open up wasteland, and develops feelings with the second son of that family, and finally makes the two the best allies.

Sarah was unwilling, Isa can actually play a more mature role. She is at the reception. I am calling her over now and asking her to show Mr. Nim a show?

Ronald Nim was a little embarrassed to refuse. After all, this is a reception. If he refuses too much, the faces of both parties will not look good.

Okay, you can ask Miss Taylor to come and perform a show. Ronald Nim said perfunctorily.

Sara hurriedly ran out to find her daughter.

Ronald Nim looked at Elizabeth Taylor. He admitted that Taylor was very beautiful and her figure was well developed, but she was too short, and now she was only about 1.5 meters, which made her look younger.

Elizabeth Taylor was only 1.57 meters when she was an adult. She is relatively short among Europeans and Americans, but she maintains a very good figure. She belongs to the type who does not get fat no matter how much she eats. She has practiced dancing and ballet since she was a child, and her body is perfect.

and also,

The beauty of Elizabeth Taylor belongs to that exquisite beauty.

There is nobility in the bones.

Actually it's fine now.

Elizabeth's temperament in the later period was even more arrogant. Her performance of Cleopatra was elegant, noble and elegant, which no one can match up to now.

The second daughter Ronald Nim is looking for is beautiful, but what he wants is the beauty of a country girl, but also with a hard-working and simple taste, so that it can match the plot.

Sarah asked Taylor to perform a segment, and Taylor performed a short segment of her lines and actions in Jane Eyre's movies, and then looked at the director with big eyes.

Ronald Nim paused and shook his head with a smile, I'm sorry Tyler, I'm afraid this role in my movie is not suitable for you.

got rejected.

Mother Sarah was a little disappointed, but she was a shrewd woman, she didn't continue to pester, it was no problem to find someone to play, but it would be annoying if she stalked.

Elizabeth Taylor was dismayed.

She couldn't remember that this was the first time she had been rejected in two years.

Sarah was not discouraged.

Pull Elizabeth to continue chatting with other directors and stars, and maybe you will encounter opportunities in the chat.

Taylor followed her mother honestly, greeted everyone with a fake smile, and played her role.

......

Hardy returned to the hall,

Grab a glass of champagne in the waiter tray.

Looking around the hall, there are handsome guys and beauties everywhere, and Hardy saw a fat man in his 50s in a crowd.

The typical British bald head, high nose bridge, big chin, not tall, like an oil barrel, but there are many people around this oil barrel.

Hardy was impressed.

He has a very good memory now. Looking back on his past life memories, he finally knows who this fat old man is, the famous director Alfred Hitchcock.

Hitchcock is a real Hollywood director,

Later generations are known as the master of horror. In 1940, his first movie Butterfly Dream in Hollywood won the Oscar for Best Work.

He really became a master. In fact, after the 1950s, he made several very influential films in succession, such as North by Northwest, which earned him the title of film master.

Hardy moved in his heart and walked towards the crowd where Hitchcock was with his wine glass up.

Hello Mr. Hitchcock, I'm the assistant to the chairman of Noah's Ark Films. My name is Jon Hardy. Hardy introduced himself.

Hello Mr Hardy.

Hitchcock spoke with a strong British accent.

Mr. Hitchcock, our film company is planning to make a new film. Do you have any plans recently? Hardy asked.

Hardy's words intrigued Hitchcock, who just finished a film last year and has no plans for this year, always looking for better creative subjects.

Although he has a lot of scripts in his hand, he has no interest in filming it immediately.

One of his favorites is a story about a woman sent by the United States to investigate the leader of the Communist Party after the end of World War II.

He thought it would be good to have Ingrid Bergman as the heroine and Cary Grant as the hero, but these plans were still in his head and had not been implemented, because he still felt that the story was a little old-fashioned.

National feelings, espionage wars, emotional entanglements between men and women, and a perilous environment, it seems that there is nothing to break through.

What's the new movie about? Hitchcock asked politely.

It's a story about a killer and a little girl, Hardy told Hitchcock from the story he had just told Elizabeth Taylor.

Hitchcock didn't care too much at first. After all, the story of the killer and the girl may not sound new. When he heard the girl standing at the door begging the killer to open the door, Hitchcock gradually became interested.

As Hardy's story goes deeper and deeper, Hitchcock is gradually attracted by the story, especially the ignorant relationship between the 14-year-old girl and the 40-year-old uncle, which makes him feel the passion of the taboo.

At the end of the story, Hitchcock pondered for a while, looked at Hardy and said, It's a good story, it aroused my interest, is there a script?

Not yet. Hardy shrugged.

Then get a script out, and let's have a good chat when I finish it. Hitchcock said.

Okay, I will let the screenwriter get the script out as soon as possible, and then contact Mr. Hitchcock. Hardy said with a smile.

Hitchcock took out a business card and handed it to Hardy, This has my contact information, remember to find me when the script comes out.

After saying goodbye to Hitchcock, Hardy thought about it, and then found Meyer, the boss of MGM.

Mr. Mayer, I'm going to invest in a movie. I just had a chat with director Hitchcock. He's very interested in the script. I don't know if MGM is willing to invest.

Mayer heard that Hitchcock was interested in Hardy's script, and he was also interested, Co-production, okay, tell me what the story is.

Hardy told Meyer the story again. After hearing it, Meyer felt that the story of the killer and the little girl was not bad. The cost of an urban drama should not be too high.

And Hardy also said that he plans to use MGM's shooting team for the filming. Now Noah's people are shooting Wilderness. Hardy Films is an empty shelf. MGM's resources and actors are the most suitable.

Mayer became more interested when he heard it. When you get the script out, call Hitchcock and let's have a good chat.

......

While Hardy was chatting with Mayer, he was also being followed.

Elizabeth Taylor's mother, Sarah, is a shrewd woman. She has been paying attention to the whole cocktail party. She has been in contact with the directors and stars. She has not given Taylor a chance. She has not given up and is still looking for opportunities.

In this venue, the most attention is naturally the MGM boss Mayer.

As the big boss of one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, he controls the lives and deaths of countless people, and those big stars and directors are no exception.

Hardy and Mayer talked about the new movie, and the two sat together for a long time, and Sarah saw it too.

She found that she hadn't seen the young man.

Shouldn't be a star.

Being able to chat with Mayer for so long should be a big deal.

She remembered that she had just seen him greet someone from Noah's Film Company, they should know each other, and walked to Richard Day, the production manager of Noah's Ark Film Company.

Hello Richard. Sara greeted Richard with a smile.

Sarah is also a beautiful woman, otherwise how could she have given birth to a daughter as beautiful as Taylor.

Hello Sarah. Richard replied with a smile.

Has there been any new filming by Noah Company recently? Sarah asked the topic of chat.

Yes, one is working with Warner, and the other is working with HD Films, called Red Dead Redemption, and now the company's production staff are all in New Mexico. Richard said.

Sara has heard of the name Red Dead Redemption. The story of Ava Gardner broke out a few days ago. The newspaper said that the song she sang was one of the episodes of Red Dead Redemption. Now Ava Gardner Still filming in New Mexico.

HD Films, I haven't heard of it before, is it a new company? Sarah asked.

Hehe, it's a company owned by our company's chairman assistant, Jon Hardy. He invested in that movie. Noah is only in charge of shooting, and Ava Gardner is also an artist in his agency. Chad Road.

The name Sara, Jon Hardy, is unfamiliar.

It turned out that the young man was Noah's assistant to the chairman. He also had a film company and a brokerage company in his hands, and he had already started to invest in filming.
