Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1670 1513 Wild Dog
The current Nyasaran Star City has become a sacred place in the hearts of filmmakers all over the world. Compared with Star City, Hollywood is a small and crude workshop without any competitiveness.

Universal is the largest film company in Star City, and "Nyasaran", which hit theaters not long ago, was produced by Universal Films.

"Greta, Greta, I found a good book, if it can be made, it will be popular all over the world—" Steele broke into Garbo's dressing room, he and Garbo came to Star City, but did not get the Universal Film With the favor of the company, he can only act as Jiabao's agent while looking for opportunities.

Star City's film production is very mature. Directors have directors' union, actors have actors' union, and screenwriters also have unions. Every screenwriter can submit their own scripts to the screenwriters' union for the director to choose. If the script is lucky enough to be chosen by the director , then it will reach the sky in one step.

"Steele, call me Garbo—and, could you knock on the door first—" Garbo was doing her own makeup, and she hadn't yet had a makeup artist.

"Ah, sorry, I should have knocked on the door first—" Steele returned to the door and knocked on the door twice symbolically, with a disgusted expression on his face.

"Come in, Mr. Steele—" Garbo was serious. Although he was not well-known, he was quite impressive.

"I found a good script in the screenwriters' union. As long as it can be produced, it will be popular all over the world—" Although Steele has not been in southern Africa for a long time, he has become accustomed to the way southern Africans speak, and always The whole world, as if they are the masters of the world.

"What script?" Garbo was putting on lipstick in front of the mirror. Such a small tube of lipstick costs one rand. It's really distressing, and it's really nice to look at. Thinking about how many women there are in the world, it's really good money. .

"A story about Brad's office confronting foreign agents. Although the screenwriter didn't say it explicitly, everyone knows that the foreign here refers to the British Military Intelligence Agency. The name of the script is "L.A. Stories". Wonderful—” Steele was as excited as if he had discovered a treasure.

Jia Bao frowned when he heard "the scene is grand".

"It's indeed a good script, but Steele, do you have the money to make it?" Garbo pointed directly at the core of the problem.

There are so many good scripts in the Screenwriters Guild, everyone can choose, but in addition to the cost of buying the script, you have to have the money to make the movie.

In Star City, it is very easy for rich people to make movies. Go to the screenwriters union to buy a script, then go to the directors union to choose a suitable director. The next thing is all done by the director, just wait for the final result to be accepted. .

This is the basic process, but whether or not the film can be sold depends on the level of watching the film. Star City has decided to hold a film festival in November every year. At that time, countless directors will bring their own works to participate in the film festival. I hope Was favored by theater companies.

There are two large-scale cinema companies in southern Africa, one of which is Star City International Cinemas, where Universal Films is located, and the other is Los Angeles Films.

"No money, the two of us came to Nyasaland and already spent all my money - didn't you just shoot an advertisement for Nyasaland Motors, did you pay the salary? If it doesn't work, we can go to Elizabeth, Let’s buy the script first, a good script is hard to come by—” Steele was delighted to see Lie Xin, and he would not miss this opportunity even if he tried to sell everything.

Elizabeth is Garbo's friend, the first car girl of Washington Motors, and the combination of beautiful women in fragrant cars is always popular, and Nyasaran Motors chose Garbo for this reason.

Compared with Garbo, Elizabeth's star journey is smooth sailing. After shooting a series of commercials for Washington Motors, Elizabeth joined the crew of the famous director Bruce Electra and is shooting a new movie in Walvis Bay.

It is said that it is another commercial blockbuster, and Bruce Electra is the director of "Nyasaland".

"The money for the commercials has not yet arrived, and I will not buy you the script when it arrives. Aren't you the director yourself? Why don't you write the script yourself?" Garbo still doesn't know the process of making a movie. If the script is so good Write, Hollywood directors will not just shoot those bad movies like "The Mind of a Horse Racing Informant", "The White Indian Woman's Husband" and so on.

Not only does Star City have a well-established screenwriters union, but it is also aggressively buying film adaptation rights for popular novels. Los Angeles Film Company bought the film adaptation rights for many famous novels such as "La Traviata" and "Gone with the Wind". Garbo is now putting on makeup, Just to participate in the role interview of "La Traviata".

Although Garbo signed a contract with Universal Films, that did not affect Garbo's interview with Los Angeles Films.

Anyway, both film companies are owned by Nyasaland Corporation, and the rotten meat is in the pot.

"I actually wrote one, and it's been sent to the screenwriters' union—" Steele worked hard, trying everything possible.

"You wrote one?" Garbo was surprised, but she had never seen Steele write a script.

Steele nodded to confirm, but the expression on his face was not very confident.

"Then why don't you shoot it yourself?" Jia Bao suspected that if he had a script and wanted to buy it, his head must be broken.

"Screenwriting is just one of my jobs." Steele said forcefully. It's not that he didn't want to make a film, but he was afraid that the film would not sell.

The so-called specialization in the art industry, Steele is a good director, not a good screenwriter, and Steele is self-aware of this.

"Listen to my Steele—" Garbo turned to face Steele with a serious expression, and looked into Steele's eyes: "—Elizabeth recommended you to work in the crew of director Electra, why don't you Seize this opportunity? The legendary career of the Marquess of Nyasaland also started from the Cape Town Police Department. When we came to Nyasaland, we agreed to start from scratch.”

"Elizabeth recommended me to work as a crew member in the crew directed by Electra. I'm not even the director of the crew. To put it bluntly, I'm just doing odd jobs. What can I learn?" Steele didn't want to waste time in Whale Bay.

In a production crew, production management is a very important job. He is the person in charge of daily affairs during the film production process. The work of the entire production team requires the deployment of production management, and he is the chief steward of the production team.

"We just came to Nyasaland, and we didn't know many people. Why do you want to be the director of the crew directed by Elektra? Give you an executive director, are you competent?" Garbo saw Steele as Garbo's agent as a waste of time.

Steele didn't say a word, with a lonely expression on his face. He now regrets that he shouldn't have come to Nyasaland Star City.

Later, Steele drove Garbo to an interview in a rented car.

Watching Garbo walk into the Los Angeles film studio, Steele went to buy two steamed buns, and returned to the car to eat while listening to the radio.

"—The British delegation arrived in Pretoria yesterday afternoon. The total number of this British delegation is 615 people. Compared with the last Paris Olympic Games, the size of the delegation has doubled. It seems that London is very important to the Commonwealth Games. The enthusiasm far surpasses the Olympic Games, but among the 615 people, there are only 297 athletes, which is less than half of the total number of the delegation, William, what do you think of this problem?"

The voice of the anchor Tom came from the radio. Tom and William are the most famous anchors of the Voice of Southern Africa. They will broadcast the entire Commonwealth Games live.

"Isn't this a characteristic of our British Empire? If there is one person working, then there are at least three conductors—hahahaha——" William said unscrupulously, and laughed with Tom at the end.

Steele poker-faced the channel, showing no interest in the Commonwealth Games.

Steele and Garbo were not yet naturalized in southern Africa.

"—The floods in Victoria are receding, the streets are in a mess, and property losses are heavy. The Victorian government is pursuing the responsibility of those responsible. This is a natural disaster, and it is also a man-made disaster. Prosecutor Conrad said in an interview with us yesterday, Someone has to be responsible for this—”

Steele went on, equally uninterested in Victoria's flooding.

"—The newly established Rhodesia Film Company is preparing a new crew for the purpose of filming the famous "The Count of Monte Cristo". Americans once filmed "The Count of Monte Cristo", but that was 20 years ago Alright, Rhodesia Film Company invested 150 million rand for the filming of "The Count of Monte Cristo", an unprecedented investment, and is now recruiting qualified photography, lighting, art, makeup, props, and assistant directors from all over the world—”

Steele opened his mouth wide, unaware that the Roujiamo in his hand fell on him.

Hollywood did make "The Count of Monte Cristo" in 1907, a black and white silent film.

After "Nyasaland", movies have entered the color era, black and white silent films have been eliminated, and "The Count of Monte Cristo" will also be remade.

Rhodesian Film Company, you can tell the relationship between this company and the Rhodes family just by looking at the name. In terms of culture and sports, the Rhodes family has always been generous, and "The Count of Monte Cristo" is proof.

"I must seize this opportunity!" Steele yelled, patting the steering wheel, took out a pen and notebook, carefully wrote down the phone number of Rhodesia Film Company, and decided to call in a while to ask about the situation.

At this time, Garbo walked out of Los Angeles Film Company in high spirits.

Steele opened the door to meet him, ready to tell Garbo his decision.

"Steele, hurry up and congratulate me, I got the opportunity for the next round of interviews, the director wants me to play Margaret, it's Margaret!" Garbo laughed without image, opened his arms and thought Hugs with Steele, then brakes in place.

"What happened to your body? Did you go to the trash can and grab food from wild dogs?" Jiabao looked disgusted.

Dingo?

Nyasaland has no wild dogs.

Steele's face was full of grief and indignation, and he didn't want to be so embarrassing. Fortunately, I have good news, and the first thing that comes to mind is you.
