Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 48: : Heroine

     "Mr. Hardy, I didn't expect to meet again so soon, what do you want to do with me this time?"

   In the reception room of the bank, Kevin Madion asked Hardy with a smile on his face, dare not to accept him, who knows if the robbers will tie themselves again.

   "I want to take a loan this time?" Hardy said.

   "Loans, how much are you going to borrow, and what are you going to do with the loan money?" Kevin asked.

   "I have a film company and I am going to shoot a movie. I still have a small amount of funds. I want to borrow money from the bank."

   "It turns out that this is the case, do you have any mortgage or guarantee?"

   "What kind of collateral is needed?"

   Kevin quickly explained to Hardy: "The most common is physical mortgage, for example, you have valuables such as gold jewelry, precious paintings, or real estate, shares of other companies, and all other valuable collateral."

"There are also intangible mortgages. Hollywood has some special mortgage methods. For example, when MGM Films wants a loan, he can use movies like "Gone with the Wind" as collateral. Although "Gone with the Wind" has been out for a few years, it still works every year. Hundreds of thousands of income can be earned for MGM, which can also be counted as collateral."

   "Then there are guarantees from other companies. Find some large companies with guarantee qualifications. If you can't pay the money, the guarantee company will naturally be responsible."

   "How much can I mortgage for my toy factory?" Hardy said.

   Kevin was taken aback.

   This Mr. Hardy only bought the toy factory yesterday, and he took it as a mortgage today. The action was really quick.

   This wouldn't be something he planned long ago.

   "How much do you plan to use it as a mortgage?" Kevin asked cautiously.

   "I have asked the professionals, they said that the plot of land plus plant and machinery, it should be no problem to sell 60,000 US dollars, I'll take a loan of 60,000." Hardy said.

   Kevin took a breath quietly.

   I bought it for less than 40,000 yesterday, and today I came to take out a mortgage of 60,000. If this matter was known by the bank's senior management, I would definitely think that I was helping the other party to win the bank's interests.

Oh,

   It seems that this is indeed the case.

   But he didn't dare to refuse.

   Those three days of suffering in the cellar, he didn't want to experience it again in his life.

   "May I try my best to help you get your opinion?" Kevin whispered.

   "Okay, I'm going to trouble Director Madien."

"No trouble, no trouble, you wait here." Kevin returned to his office and sat in a chair to think about it. He is the head of the credit department. For loans under $50,000, you don’t have to go through higher levels. He has Right to decide.

   It's better to lend 50,000 yuan to the other party, which can save a lot of trouble.

After completing a set of loan procedures, Kevin came to the reception room again, "Mr. Hardy, a loan of 50,000 US dollars is my highest authority. No matter how high it is, it needs to be approved at a high-level meeting, and it will take longer, at least half a month. the above."

   "If you are in a hurry to spend money, I suggest you take a loan of 50,000 yuan. I can help you with this money in three days. What do you think of Mr. Hardy?"

   Kevin asked cautiously.

   Since my life,

  As a credit officer, it was the first time he used this tone to talk to people who came to borrow.

   In the past, those company bosses begged him.

"50000."

   Hardy groaned, it was almost enough.

   In addition to 150,000 for making movies, there are still more than 30,000 left. This sum of money should be enough for the newly recruited people to eat and drink for a while.

   say it again,

   I'm so anxious, I'll grab Spanish help again.

   Anyway, he has made up his mind to kill him.

   "Okay, it's 50,000 yuan."

   Kevin Madion was greatly relieved, "Well, I'll go through the formalities, and the money should be available in three days."

   came out of the bank.

   Hardy took a look at the time. In the afternoon, he drove to Noah's Ark Film Company again. Yesterday, he agreed with the two screenwriters to watch the first draft this evening.

  When I came to the company, Director Nolan was already waiting here. It was almost six o'clock in the evening when the two screenwriters David and Newton hurried over.

   The eyes of the two were red and exhausted, but their expressions were very excited.

"Assistant Hardy, and Director Nolan is also here. Both of us stayed up all night yesterday, and we had another day today. The first draft of the script was finally made. Both of us have a very strong feeling for this script. I believe this script is very good. Something to do."

   David said excitedly.

   Hardy took the script, and Nolan stood behind him and the two looked together. The whole script was only three to four thousand words, and it only took ten minutes to read it.

   This first draft of the script basically restored all the essence of Hardy's outline. Hardy was still satisfied. He looked up at Nolan and found that he was in deep thought.

   "Director Nolan, what do you think of this script?" Hardy asked.

   Nolan woke up from deep thought, and quickly said: "I just conceived the picture in my mind, and I have a rough plot story. It feels better than the two of us talked about yesterday. To be honest, I am very optimistic about this movie."

"This movie is not only chivalrous and lonely heroes, but there are also many things that Hollywood movies do not have. The plot is clear and refreshing, the backbone is clear, but it is not simple. The protagonist is not the pure incarnation of justice in the past. He promised to help at first. Money, but it's not just for money."

   "The protagonist is a bounty hunter, a ranger, and a prodigal son. His image is closer to reality, which also makes him look more vivid, not a symbol, but a living person."

   "To pave the way for the atmosphere, I plan to use a panoramic lens and a close-up lens, sparse stubble, a cloak full of dust, walking alone in the afterglow of the setting sun..."

   Hardy discovered that the director Nolan was already immersed in his creation.

   "Then let's talk to Cohen together tomorrow, I plan to use Noah's Ark's equipment staff for filming and production." Hardy said.

   Nolan waved his hand indifferently.

   "That's your business, I'm only in charge of the movie."

   Nolan said, leaving Hardy aside and looked at the two screenwriters, "I think there are still some details that need to be changed and improved, let's discuss."

   The three artists discussed the script in Hardy’s office.

   Hardy took a look at the time. It was already around nine o'clock in the evening. I ignored these artistic madmen and drove to Ava's house by himself.

   Click!

   The door knocked softly.

  Ava Gardner opened the door in loose-fitting home clothes. He was surprised to see Hardy and gave him a hug.

   "I haven't seen you Hardy for days."

   "It's been very busy these days, can I eat? I haven't eaten dinner yet~www.novelmt.com~ Hardy walked in and took off her coat, and Ava took it and hung it on the hanger.

   "What do I want to eat?" Ava asked.

   "Just do whatever you want."

   "How about spaghetti, I'll fry you another steak?"

   "Yes."

  Ava was cooking in the kitchen. Hardy poured a glass of wine and stood beside him. Ava looked back at the man, "What have you been up to during this time?"

   "Many, they are all business matters, but there is one thing you must be interested in." Hardy finished speaking and took a sip of wine.

   "Oh what's the matter?" the woman asked with interest.

   "Don't you always want to make a movie, I found a role for you."

   Ava immediately turned to look at Hardy, her face full of surprises, "Really Hardy, what kind of character is it? Does it have lines? In fact, it doesn't matter if there is no line. A single shot is enough."

   "The heroine." Hardy said with a smile.

   Ava was stunned.

   Seeing Hardy's face full of disbelief.

   "The heroine, how is it possible?"

Hardy smiled softly at the woman and said, "I invested in this movie. It is a western movie with a heroine in it, but the drama is not too much. This movie is mainly a man drama. Do you want such a role? "

   Ava finally reacted.

   "I want it, I want it!!!"

   "Ah~~~~"

   Ava Gardner let out a scream.

   dropped the barbecue fork in his hand and rushed to Hardy, "Really Hardy, heroine, God, I can’t believe it, thank you Hardy."

  ......

   "Ava, the barbecue is about to burn."

   "Leave him alone, Hardy~~~~~"
