Hardy Empire 1945

"Hello, Mr. Meyer." Hardy went over to say hello.

Louis Meyer saw Hardy and stretched out his hand with a smile, "Hardy, I remember your name. I called Siegel a few days ago and he mentioned you to me on the phone, saying that you are a very good one. Assistant, if Noah has something, you can come to me at any time."

"Thank you Mr. Meyer for your attention." Hardy thanked.

"You're welcome, there are a lot of people here tonight, you can get to know them." Louis Meyer said here, lowered his voice and smiled: "There are many beauties, young people like you should have more contact with them."

Straightening up, both of them laughed.

Several people in the Noah movie watched Hardy and Louis Mayer talking and laughing from a distance, and they all had different emotions in their hearts.

It is worthy of being an assistant to the chairman of Siegel, and even big people like Louis Meyer can be contacted. At most they only contact some directors of big film companies. When they see Louis Meyer, they can say Mr. Meyer at most.

Just then Shirley Temple walked over.

Meyer saw the girl and smiled and said to Hardy: "Our baby girl Shirley Temple, you should know you?"

At this time Shirley Temple has grown into a big girl, and has faded from the cuteness of childhood. Hardy knew that Shirley Temple will quit the film industry in a few years, because people are unwilling to accept a long time. Big baby girl.

"Xiulan, let me introduce you. This is the assistant to the chairman of Noah Films, Jon Hardy. By the way, he is also a film investor. Maybe you will have cooperation opportunities in the future." Louis Meyer said. .

Shirley Temple was very cheerful, looked at Hardy and gave him a soft hug, "Hello, Mr. Hardy."

"Miss Deng Bo, I am your fan." Hardy said.

To get a hug from Shirley Temple, his wish to come this time has been successfully fulfilled.

The two parties chatted for a few words, and Hardy politely left.

At eight o'clock in the evening,

Louis Meyer stood up,

Ginger Rogers, Joseph Cotton, Shirley Temple and several starring actors stood behind him.

Louis Meyer announced loudly that the new film "I Want to See You" is ready to start shooting, thank you for participating in the reception.

Everyone in the audience congratulated the film on fire.

Elizabeth Taylor looked at the people on the stage. The smirk on her face could not be sustained, and her big blue and purple eyes were full of unwillingness.

But there is no way.

She has gained a lot of fame after filming "The Jade Goddess Horse", but compared with Shirley Temple, her fame is far behind.

Which of the people here is not famous.

The heroine of this play, Ginger Rogers, is a mature beauty who won an Oscar for best actress three years ago, Shirley Temple, the most famous child star in Hollywood.

The stars in the crowd are even brighter.

Greta Garbo, Catherine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, Judy Garland, Louis Jeanne, Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Gene Kelly...

These people have either won an Oscar or have been nominated. It can be said that everyone who can come here has a certain reputation.

In the eyes of MGM executives, the current Elizabeth Taylor is just a small well-known newcomer, and even many people do not like her.

Said her acting skills were average, she said that she was young and childless, and she couldn't make children's movies, nor could she make adult movies.

After she finished filming "Jade Goddess Horse" the year before last, MGM never arranged any role for her. In the end, she even loaned her to Fox, and went to the Jane Eyre crew to do a supporting role of No. 7 or 8 with little role.

MGM gave her a contract of 100 US dollars a week, and lent it to Fox for 150 US dollars a week, just to throw her aside for 50 US dollars a week.

Taylor felt aggrieved.

After Louis Meyer delivered his speech, the cocktail party entered the communication stage. Familiar people gathered to chat, and unfamiliar people greeted each other and met.

Taylor's mother Sarah was also an actress before, but she didn't achieve much. After Taylor was born, she tried her best to train it, which allowed Taylor to participate in the performance at a young age.

Sara took Taylor's hand and went to greet and chat with those famous directors and actors, so as to broaden her daughter's network, hoping to get opportunities in the future.

Taylor is very disgusted with these.

But she had to support and accompany her mother to socialize.

After a round,

Taylor felt so tired, she said to her mother: "Mom, I'm a little hungry, I didn't eat anything at night."

"You can eat it later, now is a rare opportunity." Sara whispered.

"But you forgot that the senior executives said that I was too young. If I were older and taller, it would be easier to find a role." Taylor retorted.

The last time a senior MGM executive saw Taylor when casting a cast, he did say this, saying that she is not too big or too small now, and that there are few suitable roles.

There is no cuteness of a child, no charm of a woman.

Sarah nodded, "Then you go have something to eat, I'll go find someone to chat with, and I will come to see me after the meal, and I'll show you some more people."

"Okay," Taylor replied helplessly.

Sara left, Taylor came to the table, put two pieces of cake and a piece of pudding on the plate, thought about it, took another tart, and finally took another glass of orange juice.

But when she received it, she looked around and found that no one was paying attention to her, and quickly picked up a glass of wine from the champagne tower and poured it into her juice.

A smile appeared on Taylor's face.

Looks like a little fox stole a delicious roast chicken.

This is her only smile from the heart tonight.

There were too many people in the hall, and Taylor came to the backyard with a tray. Meyer's manor was very large. Although there were a lot of guests, there were no people in sight.

Taylor found a bench, sat on it and put the plate on his lap, when she was about to eat something, she suddenly noticed something.

God,

I forgot to take the fork.

Even a spoon will do.

Do you want to go back and get it.

But she was totally repulsive to the noisy environment of the hall.

Forget it,

Eat with your hands.

She was already hungry.

I picked up the egg **** and ate it in two bites. Well, it felt so comfortable. I carefully squeezed the cake. After a while, two pieces of cake were also in my belly.

Drinking champagne orange juice.

This is the cocktail.

Taylor was very satisfied with the drink he prepared.

My mother said she would not let her drink, but children her age are most curious and rebellious, and always use some small means to express their resistance.

There is also a piece of pudding on the plate.

The pudding can't be picked up, how can I eat it?

Tyler thought for a while.

Finally, just lie down on the plate.

But when she looked up and found a tall figure standing in front of her, Tyler was shocked, and her current appearance, lying on the plate eating, there is no way to look like a lady, if it is spread out, her The image is all over.

She found,

The man in front of him was smiling at him,

What a smile is this,

Is he funny? He must be laughing at himself eating pudding on his stomach.

but,

The man in front of me seemed a bit familiar.

"It's you!"

Taylor finally remembered that the man in front of him was the man who eavesdropped on her and mother when he got out of the car.

"Hello, we meet again." Hardy smiled.

"Meeting you is not a good experience."

Taylor curled his lips, with a charming look.

"Really, I think it's not bad." Hardy joked, seeing Tyler making a fool of himself on two meetings, which was really interesting.

He took out the handkerchief from his body and handed it over.

Taylor's eyes were full of surprise.

"You have a lot of pudding on your mouth." Hardy said.

Taylor was taken aback,

Quickly took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

"You don't seem to like it too much?" Hardy looked at the girl.

At this moment, Taylor also let go. It may be because of the effect of alcohol. She pursed her lips, "The people in there are all big stars. I am a little transparent. My mother pulled me over to say hello to them. Some people would say hello with a smile. Ah, you are the girl who filmed with the dog, and you are the girl who filmed with the horse."

Now Taylor’s two most famous dramas, one is called "The Dog Lacey" and the other is called "The Jade Goddess Horse", both of which were shot with animals.

Hearing the girl's self-ridicule, Hardy laughed.

He discovered that the current Elizabeth Taylor was just a girl, pure and beautiful, and spiritually delicate.

"It's good to be remembered. Many people in Hollywood don't even have the chance to be remembered. What kind of role do you like?" Hardy asked.

The girl thought about it,

"I want to play that kind of character with personality."

Just finished saying this sentence,

The girl's mood suddenly dropped.

"Don't talk about personality roles, I don't even have ordinary roles now, and even supporting roles are out of five or six."

After speaking, he lowered his chin and landed on the Saintess Peak that had begun to take shape.

Hardy thought for a while and said to the girl: "I have a very interesting story here. When I have a chance later, I want to make it into a movie. Would you like to listen to it?"

Tyler raised his head and looked at Hardy.

"what story?"

There was a street lamp just behind Hardy. Taylor raised her head and the light hit her face. It was a flawless face, especially those eyes. Hardy could see countless emotions in these eyes.

Hardy slowly began to tell the story:

"The story takes place in a slum area of ​​New York. A professional killer named Leon. He was calm, mysterious and full of passion when he killed. Leon lives in an apartment in the slum area. He lives a simple life every day, eating and sleeping, and carefully wiping his beloved potted plants. ."

"The other apartment has a family of five. The father is the eyeliner of the police, the mother is a prostitute, the eldest daughter is 19 years old, the second daughter is 14 years old, and the youngest brother is 6 years old. The police officer served by his father sells drugs in private. One day, my father embezzled a packet of drugs from the policeman, and the policeman killed their family like crazy."

"But there was a girl who escaped bad luck. It was Matilda, a 14-year-old girl. She happened to be on the street to buy food. When she came back, the door of their apartment was open. She saw the blood and corpses in the house."

"The police also found her~www.novelmt.com~ Matilda was terrified, went straight to the room where the killer lived, rang the doorbell, and at the door she begged the people inside to open the door so that she would not die. ......"

Hardy told Elizabeth Taylor the story of the movie "This Killer Is Not So Cold".

Taylor didn't think much at first.

But when she heard that Matilda was in crisis, she was immediately attracted and became nervous about the girl's fate.

A pair of big blue and purple eyes stared at Hardy flickering.

When she heard that Leon finally opened the door and let Matilda in, Matilda was temporarily out of danger, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When she heard the killer uncle teach the girl to handgun, she smiled rarely.

Hardy talked about Matilda, the 14-year-old girl, and the 40-year-old uncle Lyon, because the souls who were also lonely and eager for warmth got closer and closer, and finally sparked a subtle spark, Taylor swallowed unconsciously .

She became nervous again when she heard that the bad police called for a large number of police to besiege Lyon.

In the end, Hardy said that Leon asked her to leave first in order to save the girl. When he pulled away the grenade and died with the evil policeman, sadness flashed in her big eyes.

"What do you think of this story?" Hardy asked, looking at Tyler.

Taylor's bushy eyelashes tremble a few times, and he said with a deep taste: "This is the most special story I have ever heard. I never imagined that there is such a love, but he exists so naturally, I think it must be Will appear."

The girl wanted to say something, but at this moment a woman's call suddenly came from a distance.

"Elizabeth, where are you?"

It's the voice of Taylor's mother Sara.

The girl stood up immediately and wanted to go, but she stopped again, looked at Hardy and asked, "After talking for so long, I don't know your name yet.
