Manhattan Reborn 1978

Chapter 35 John and Harvey

Friday, September [-]st.

The weather will be sunny to cloudy, with wind speed of Level 34, and the temperature will be 29-[-] degrees Celsius.

Marseille restaurants.

David looked back and forth at the New York Times news.

I remembered its name!

taxi driver.

This is a movie that David has seen before, and it best represents the movies of this era. .

It is a documentary of this era and an art film that explores human nature.

All kinds of unspeakable and unplayable scenes fill the screen.

David's college classmate in his previous life read it and recommended it to him. . .It made his memory very deep. . .

The acquitted John Lavis was a retired war taxi driver who suffered from severe insomnia.

He could only drive a taxi at night, drink and watch movies during the day.

The inner loneliness and lack of life goals made him, a 26-year-old young man, live a miserable life.

I can only take a short nap every day after tossing myself to exhaustion.

Driving a taxi at night, he saw all kinds of monsters and monsters in New York City.

What's amazing is that he often encounters weird people and things. . .

Now it seems that he has experienced all the plots in the movie.

He became a hero and returned to his job as a taxi driver.

This is how it ends in the movie.

David wonders where to find Lavis!

He has not tried to change or influence the people in this world who have appeared in movies and TV shows in previous lives.

Andy, no word yet.

Forrest Gump, are you still running?

Jenny, even harder to find!

Wonder what to expect at John Lavis?

Ok. . . .

Mike should be the best at finding someone.

Where is he now?

I forgot to ask for his phone number again yesterday.

This guy kidnapped Black Mike too.

David thought that he would go to Harvey today to talk about film investment.

Then let’s get one done first.

Borrow Marseille's phone number and call Harvey Studio.

After confirming that he has landed, he can arrive at the studio at noon.

There was enough time, so I called Ludy and asked him for Mike Bai's phone number.

Called Mike Bai again.

It’s so tiring without a mobile phone!

After getting through, Mike Bai's voice sounded lazily about to explode: "Which piece of shit is calling me at this time!"

"If you can return Black Mike to me, I promise not to harass you again!"

"Hahahaha, you bastard David. That black bastard worked in the bar yesterday, and at dawn he said he went to find a hotel to sleep. Now that you sleep every day and have Susan, he has become a homeless man again. Haha"

David raised his eyebrows: "Isn't this all caused by the shit you two did? I tell you to find someone for me now, the taxi driver John Lavis. He killed four people and was just acquitted. .”

"What?" Mike Bai was so surprised that his accent changed.

"What about John, he was caught murdering someone and he's still not guilty? Are you kidding God?"

"I saw it in the New York Times today, what do you think? Put your head in the toilet and flush it, then go out and find him for me."

After he finished speaking, he didn't care about Mike Bai's nonsense and hung up.

Don't be domineering, this white Mike can chat with him until tomorrow!

After finishing these things, go out and take a taxi and go to Havena to wait for him.

Arriving at his studio, a beautiful woman was making a phone call at his desk.

David said hello, found a seat, and continued reading the newspaper.

The beauty didn't care and continued her work.

Near 11 o'clock, Harvey came back.

David stood up and introduced himself, surprising Harvey.

He knew David's name. Recently, it was rumored that this kid had made a fortune and became a respectable boss.

He said with some restraint: "I heard Tangtang talk about you, and Little Red Riding Hood is also grateful to your investment. What do you want to do today?"

David knew that Little Red Riding Hood might be following him for a long time. . . .

They both came to Harvey's office and sat down.

David said: “I am now helping my friend find some projects to invest in, and he mentioned Tangtang’s Little Red Riding Hood.

In addition to investing in this film, you did everything else.

Whether there is any development in this industry now, I still need to consult you, an expert. "

Harvey became excited: "The market is super good now!"

Then he briefed David on some situations.

Due to the emergence of cameras and video tapes, the cost of making films has plummeted, and a film can be completed with only about half the original cost of film.

And subsequent editing is easier and faster.

Their emergence has made filmmaking now a semi-industrial assembly line, producing new products at a crazy speed.

Some time ago, people in Harvey Studio were resting, but the machines were working 24 hours a day. . . . .

David thought to himself, if you use this energy elsewhere, you can still make money. . .

He also asked about the overall process and rate of return after filming.

Including current channel distribution, screening, video tape transcription, rental, sale, etc.

There are other small studios that Harvey knows about and their current situation.

Take out a small blank notebook that you carry with you and write it all down.

After the two had another discussion, David called Ludy again, then said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he thought for a while and asked Harvey: "Have you ever thought about becoming the San Fernando Father of New York City?"

Harvey's mouth opened wide with surprise on his face!

David laughed, satisfied with his reaction, patted him on the shoulder and said nothing more.

Left Harvey's office and waited at the door for a while.

Ludy arrived in his car.

After getting in the car, Ludy asked: "Who do you want to find?"

David relaxed and said, "You also know my plan. I'm going to find some people with distribution channels on the East Coast to see if their situation is consistent with the information and plan I have on hand."

“If possible, get them all into the scheme so you can basically make money with no brainers.”

Ludy nodded, started the car, and thought about where to find someone at this time.

David's plan is very simple. Integrate the entire small film market, sign contracts with small studios, monopolize shooting and production, cooperate in distribution, and make money by relying on a large number of low-cost films.

And this business is slow and steady.

It can be done in the new century. . . .

There are countless small studios like Harvey’s in this city.

The older ones all went to Los Angeles to set up companies for more formal and legal operations.

So is this industry monopolized by Los Angeles?

David didn't think so. It was difficult to break the situation with formal means, but now he was looking for ways to make money for the Sidrich family.

All he had to do was come up with a plan and prove it was feasible.

The rest is out of his control.

There are no gangs in this city that are now operating it as an industry. They are all doing it on a small scale. Some have only mastered some channels. Now they need to do detailed surveys and statistics.

Integrate and smooth out all these scattered and messy things, and then everyone can make a living in this industry and achieve multiple benefits with one stone.

what?

Does anyone in the Sidrich family disagree?

Will this bring a bad reputation?

Uh. . . .

It has a bad reputation.

In this country, rich people still have a good reputation?

Want both?

Give him a big mouth!

Are you awake?
