Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 85: : Feeling sad for the robbers

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

Hardy told the whole story to Director Moran. Moran became a little excited after hearing this, "I think it's very interesting to record the whole process of arresting the bank robbers."

"I hope to be able to shoot that kind of excitement, because I am going to put him in the cinema when I look back." Hardy said.

Moran was even more excited when she heard it.

All the things he filmed before were documentaries, and none of them have ever been in a theater. "Mr. Hardy, don't worry, I will definitely feel the excitement and excitement of filming."

He thought about it,

"I want eight cameramen and eight handheld cameras." Moran said.

"no problem."

"I hope all color film is used."

"can."

"I also want to interview Bank of America and the police station."

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

Bank of America's Los Angeles branch headquarters.

A meeting is taking place in the conference room.

President Moria Johnston was very angry at the bank robbery and made a decision to offer a reward of $20,000 to find clues to the robber.

"Our Bank of America's motto is to protect the safety of customers' property to the utmost extent, and we will never tolerate things that damage customers' property. This matter must be traced to the end."

The shooting ends.

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

"Mr. Johnston, our boss said that we have already agreed with MGM that this film is going to be made into a documentary and will be shown in major theaters across the United States. It will also be delivered to the Oscars."

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

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

This guy Edward is very smart and very capable of doing business. He has managed well from the beginning to now.

Hardy also asked Edward to be responsible for this documentary business.

Film industry.

When President Johnston heard it, he knew that he was in the same house with that security.

Broadcasting in major theaters across the U.S. and delivering the Oscar documentary appraisal can indeed play a great role in promoting the Bank of America.

But what does your last sentence mean.

Front lens.

That means there is also a reverse lens.

This is a **** threat from Chi Guoguo.

President Johnston also knows that Bank of America, as the robbed party, did nothing in the later period. A little movement of the film makers could cause great damage to the reputation of Bank of America.

Who will let these public opinion media control the right to speak?

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

"President Mark, I would like to ask you something."

Johnston talked about his plans to capture the robbers, shoot a documentary, and MGM to be screened nationwide, and to deliver the Oscars.

Finally, he said: "The film company asked how many positive shots we Bank of America would like to keep in the documentary."

As soon as President Mark heard it, he knew what the film company intended.

"Of course, the more the better, and all of them should be positive shots. I hope that in the documentary, I will focus on promoting the Bank of America's concept of customer service first."

"The documentary must not have any negative news about Bank of America. Do you know how serious the consequences of negative publicity are? It may ruin a company. A negative publicity may not be able to turn over for several decades." President Mark said .

"When dealing with negative news, our stock price will plummet, and shareholders will not let it go. Do we know Johnston."

"President Mark, I heard that the film company has a threatening taste, 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 positives, it will be of great benefit to our company. It should be a propaganda expense." President Mark said.

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

In fact, Johnston has long known the result of his call. He is not stupid, and the president is smarter, but he has to call, because the sum of money is probably a lot, and it can’t be sent by 35,000. He is a branch. The length is difficult to decide.

"Did the other party mention specific numbers?" President Mark asked.

"No."

The other side of the phone pondered for a while.

"Johnston, allocate $100,000 in publicity expenses from your Los Angeles distribution to the other party."

Johnston said in his heart that the president is really magnificent, and the shot is 100,000, and it is indeed not his decision to pay 100,000 publicity expenses at a time.

But he didn't expect it was not over yet.

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

The headquarters is also out.

Johnston was surprised.

"Is 200,000 a bit too much?" 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 the money." President Mark said.

"Good president, I understand."

200,000.

Edward was so excited when he heard this number.

A documentary,

Hasn't started shooting yet,

Has already earned 200,000 advertising fees.

Borrowing a director, eight cameras, and some film from MGM, it is estimated that the total cost is less than 20,000 US dollars.

But now I have gotten back 10 times the profit.

Johnston looked at Edward and said seriously: "Mr. Edward, we at Bank of America are 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 without any negative reports. "

Edward smiled.

"You can rest assured that after the film is finished, several companies will be called to watch the samples together, and the samples will be officially released when everyone is satisfied."

Johnston finally felt relieved when Edward said this.

Edward left with a check for 100,000. As for the remaining 100,000, Johnston said he was satisfied with the movie and paid, and Edward thought it should be.

With this 100,000 in hand, it is already a big profit

Los Angeles Police Department.

Director Eide faced the camera and introduced the whole robbery case. Finally, he impassionedly stated 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 stood there.

Black training uniform, steel bullet-proof vest, headband helmet, pistol in the waist, thunder, flashlight, and ammunition in the pocket, some people are holding submachine guns, some are holding sniper rifles, masks are masked, only one is exposed Pairs of sharp eyes.

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

The black training uniform and this set of equipment were specially created by Hardy when the security company was founded. Now they have not appeared at all. Hardy asked them to come out in advance. If nothing else, they look very handsome.

Each team will also be equipped with a set of wireless walkie-talkies, which is similar to that of the later elder brothers. Although the communication distance is only 15 miles, in this era, it is a proper black technology that can command such small-scale operations. Great effect.

This team stood there, and suddenly made people feel a sturdy feeling.

It looks very professional.

It was also the first time that Director Moran saw such a team, and he was shocked. He ordered several cameras to view the scene from different angles in an effort to shoot the most powerful side.

Strategy research room.

Lanster was interviewed.

"Our security personnel are all veterans. They have fought bravely on the battlefields of Europe and Asia. They are all heroes of battle. They have made great contributions to the security of the world. 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 robbers, and used a large number of intelligence personnel to collect information and finally determine where the robbers were hiding."

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

"We have found out that there are six robbers, and there may be other people in the hiding place. There should be no more than 10 people."

"We have prepared 6 combat teams, five combat teams, and a sniper team for security. Actually, to deal with those robbers, we are confident that only one team will be able to eliminate them, but for the safety of the people, we are planning to dispatch 6 teams. Make sure nothing goes wrong."

"set off!"

With an order.

Sixty security personnel climbed into the car, and Lanster got into the command car as the commander. 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 command vehicle.

at the same time,

The police station also dispatched a team.

There are 20 people in total.

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

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

Judgment shall be made.

Director Ed and Lanster shook hands.

Ed said to the camera: "Those robbers who robbed the bank are a group of inhumane thugs~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The police department is lacking in firepower. For this reason, we deliberately cooperated with security to arrest The operation is mainly attacked by security, and we assist."

Ed turned his head to look at Lanster and asked, "Are you sure those robbers are still in the waste collection station?"

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

"Then let's start now?"

"action"

With a blast, the security personnel boarded the car again and slammed to the waste collection station.

The convoy stopped 500 meters from the waste collection station.

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

The film crew followed closely behind the team.

At the end is the police.

In another limousine, several big men sat in it, MGM boss Meyer, 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 boss Meyer to help and invite him to watch a good show.

It is more important to build contacts.

He is now qualified to treat these people equally.

"Mr. Hardy, I admire you for creating such a strong security team. I believe that security will definitely develop in the future." Mayor Ross said.

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

The film company easily took $200,000 from him yesterday, and he also thanked others for helping him publicize.

And also promised to cooperate with security in the future.

Meyer looked at the counter-strikes who rushed into the recycling bin, and turned to Hardy and said, "Hadi, I suddenly feel sad for the robbers."

"why"

"Because they met you."
