Hardy Empire 1945

Documentary director Burgess Moran, once a war correspondent in the military, entered the European battlefield to shoot war documentaries, and joined MGM after retiring. His documentaries have also won some awards, and the conditions fully met Hardy's requirements.

Hardy told Director Moran the whole thing, and Moran got a little excited after hearing it, I think it's very interesting to record the whole process of catching the bank robber.

I wanted to be able to capture that tension and excitement, because I'm going to put him in the cinema later, Hardy said.

Moran was even more excited when he heard this.

All the things he has shot before are documentaries, and none of them have ever been in theaters. Mr. Hardy, don't worry, I will definitely capture the tension and excitement.

He thought about it and said,

I want eight videographers, eight handheld cameras. Moran said.

no problem.

I want all color film.

Can.

I also want to interview Bank of America and the Police Department.

Hardy smiled, Don't worry, these are all arranged for you.

Bank of America Los Angeles branch headquarters.

There is a meeting in the conference room.

President Moriah Johnston was very angry that the bank was robbed, and made a decision to offer a reward of $20,000 to find clues to the robbers.

Our motto at Bank of America is to protect our clients' property to the greatest extent possible. We will not tolerate any damage to our clients' property. This matter must be pursued to the end.

Shooting ends.

Edward, the interim general manager of the film industry, walked into the president's office with a smile.

Mr. President Johnston, our boss said that we have already agreed with MGM that this film is going to be made into a documentary, which will be released in major theaters across the United States, and will also be sent to participate in the Oscar competition.

This is a great propaganda effect for Bank of America. The boss asked me to ask you if you would like to have more shots of Bank of America in the documentary, of course, frontal shots.

Edward was originally the manager of a brokerage company, but the film industry was an empty shelf. Before, Hardy just borrowed his name. Later, there were more things, such as the cooperation with MGM, and he had to find someone to manage it. Hardy asked Edward to become a film company. General manager.

Edward this guy is very smart and has strong business ability. He has managed well from the beginning to the present.

Hardy also instructed Edward to take charge of the documentary business this time.

film industry.

As soon as President Johnston heard it, he knew that he was in the same family as the security guard.

Broadcasting in major theaters across the United States, and sending the Oscar documentary for evaluation, it can indeed play a great role in promoting Bank of America.

But what do you mean by your last sentence.

Front shot.

That is to say, there is a reverse lens.

This is a fucking threat from Chi Guoguo.

President Johnston also knew that Bank of America, as the robbed party, did nothing in the later stage, and the filmmaker's slightest finger move could cause great damage to Bank of America's reputation.

Who let these public opinion media have the right to speak?

Johnston asked Edward to go out first, picked up the phone and called the president of Bank of America. He was only the president of the branch. He also needed to ask for instructions on such a major event that might affect the entire Bank of America.

President Mark, I have something to ask you about

Johnston talked about preparing to catch robbers, filming a documentary, and MGM's release in the United States, and the delivery of Oscars.

Finally, he said: The studio asked how much positive footage we Bank of America would like to keep in the documentary.

President Mark knew the intention of the film company as soon as he heard it.

Of course, the more the better, and all of them have to be front-facing shots. I hope that in the documentary, I want to focus on promoting Bank of America's philosophy of serving customers first.

The documentary must not contain any negative news about Bank of America. Do you know how serious the consequences of negative publicity are? It may destroy a company, and a negative publicity may not be able to turn over for years and decades. President Mark said .

Negative news handling,

Our stock price will plummet and shareholders won't let us know Johnston.

President Mark, I heard that the film company is threatening, they must want money. Johnston said.

Of course I heard it. In fact, this is a good thing. At least the other party has the willingness to negotiate. If the documentary promotes our positiveness, it will be of great benefit to our company. It is also necessary to pay a publicity fee. President Mark said.

Then how much do you say is appropriate? Johnston asked.

In fact, Johnston has long known the result of his call. He is not stupid, the CEO is smarter, but he has to call, because the money is probably a lot, not 350,000 can be paid, he has a branch It's hard to decide.

Did the other party provide specific figures? President Mark asked.

No.

The other side of the phone pondered for a while.

Johnston, transfer $100,000 from your Los Angeles distribution to each other.

Johnston said in his heart that the president is really generous, and the shot is 100,000, and it is really not something he can decide to pay 100,000 at a time.

But he didn't expect it to be over.

President Mark continued: I will transfer another 100,000 US dollars from the headquarters to the other party. Let's give a total of 200,000 US dollars.

Headquarters also out.

Johnston was surprised.

Is 200,000 a lot? Johnston said.

As long as the other party fully promotes Bank of America positively and broadcasts it in major theaters across the United States, our money will be worth it. President Mark said.

Okay President, I understand.

200,000.

Edward was so excited when he heard this number.

a documentary,

Shooting hasn't started yet.

Already earned 200,000 in advertising fees.

Borrowing a director, eight cameras, and some film from MGM is estimated to cost less than $20,000 in total.

But now it has taken back 10 times the profit.

Johnston looked at Edward very seriously and said: Mr. Edward, our Bank of America is willing to invest this huge advertising fee, but we must also protect our interests. We must try our best to promote our ideas in the film, and we must not have any negative reports.

Edward smiled.

Don't worry, after the film is made, a few companies will be called to watch the demo together, and the demo will be officially released after everyone is satisfied.

Johnston was finally relieved to hear Edward say this.

Edward left with a cheque of 100,000. As for the remaining 100,000, Johnston said that he would pay after watching the film. Edward felt that it was right.

The 100,000 in hand is already a big profit

Los Angeles Police Department.

Facing the camera, Director Ed introduced the entire robbery case, and finally expressed impassionedly that he must do his best to arrest the robbers and protect the safety of the citizens

Security company headquarters.

on the square,

A team stands there.

Black training uniforms, steel bulletproof vests, helmets on the head, pistols on the waist, grenades, flashlights, and magazines in the pockets, some people are holding submachine guns, some people are holding sniper rifles, masks are covered, only a Pair of sharp eyes.

This dress is very similar to the special forces of later generations.

The black training uniform and this set of equipment were specially made by Hardy when the security company was founded, but they don't appear at all now. Hardy made them available ahead of time. If nothing else, they look very handsome.

Each team will also be equipped with a set of wireless walkie-talkies, which are somewhat similar to those of later generations. Although the call distance is only 15 miles, it is a proper black technology in this era, and it can play a role in commanding such small-scale operations. Great effect.

This team stood there, and immediately gave people a sturdy feeling.

Looks very professional.

Director Moran was also the first to see such a team, and he was very shocked. He ordered several cameras to view the scene from different angles, trying to capture the most powerful side.

Strategic Research Room.

Lanster was interviewed.

Our security, all personnel are all veterans. They have fought heroically in the European battlefield and the Asian battlefield. They are all combat heroes and have made great contributions to world security. After joining the security company, they received more formal security training from our company. Become a security officer and continue to serve people's safety.

After the Bank of America robbery, we were hired by Bank of America to investigate the situation of the robbers, used a large number of intelligence personnel to collect information, and finally determined the hiding place of the robbers.

We have contacted the Los Angeles Police Department, and the two sides have reached a cooperation intention and will carry out arrest operations together. I believe that our security will also become a force to protect the citizens of Los Angeles.

We have already investigated clearly. There are six robbers in total. There may be other people in the hiding place, and there should be no more than 10 people.

Our security has prepared 6 combat teams, five combat teams and a sniper team. In fact, to deal with those robbers, we are confident that only one team can be dispatched to eliminate them, but for the safety of the people, we are ready to dispatch 6 teams. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”

Set off!

With an order.

Sixty security personnel climbed into the car body, and Lanster, as the commander, got into the command car. There was a radio in the car to talk to the six combat teams.

Several photographers kept up with different units and kept shooting, especially in the commander's car.

at the same time,

The police department also dispatched a team.

20 people in total.

The police and security gathered about 3 kilometers away from the waste collection station, and they got off the station together.

The police looked a little loose, and their weapons were pistols and a few long guns. Looking at the security company team next to them, there was a sturdy and elite atmosphere from the inside out.

Judgment.

Chief Ed and Lanster shook hands.

Ed said to the camera: Those robbers who robbed banks are a group of inhuman gangsters. The police station is lacking in firepower. For this reason, we specially cooperated with the security guards. The arrests were mainly carried out by the security guards. We Assist.

Ed turned to look at Lanster and asked, Are you sure those robbers are still in the junkyard?

Yes, our intelligence personnel have been watching. Lanster said.

Then let's get started now?

action

With a command, the security personnel got into the car again and headed for the waste collection station in a mighty manner.

The convoy stopped at a distance of 500 meters from the scrap collection station.

The action team got out of the car and dashed forward from different directions.

The camera crew followed closely behind the team.

At the end are the police.

In another limousine, several big people sat in it, MGM boss Mayer, Los Angeles Mayor Ross, Bank of America Los Angeles branch president Johnston and security boss Hardy.

It was also the first time that Hardy met with Mayor Ross and President Johnston. He asked MGM owner Mayer to help invite him to watch a good show here.

It's more about building connections.

He is now entitled to equal treatment with these people.

Mr. Hardy, I admire that you can build such a strong security team. I believe that security will develop greatly in the future. Mayor Ross said.

Next to him, President Johnston looked at the young man in front of him and said with a smile, I admire his business ability even more.

The film company easily took $200,000 from him yesterday, and he would also like to thank others for helping him promote it.

And also promised to cooperate with security in the future.

Meyer looked at the counter-strikes who rushed into the junkyard, turned to Hadi and said, Hadi, I suddenly feel sad for those robbers.

why

Because they met you.
