Chapter 62 Los Angeles
DC-3 slowly landed at Los Angeles Airport.
Los Angeles Airport, in fact, is the future Los Angeles International Airport, which was opened to flights as early as the 1930s.
It's just that there are no international flights now, so naturally the word "international" does not exist. Of course, the size of the airport is completely incomparable with the one in the future. After all, flying is still a relatively luxurious way of travel these days, and most On the DC-3 passenger plane of China, what is installed is not a seat, but a bed.
For example, the DC-3 that Josie bought contains twelve beds.
Josie and the others came to Los Angeles together this time, and there were exactly twelve people.
Josie, Margot, Linden Schneider and his little lovers Angela, Sabrina, Francesca.
The other six are bodyguards including Vito and Brook.
The reason why Francesca appeared here was very simple. As a maid, she naturally served Josie and Margot, but it was definitely not hard work to be honest.
Because Josie and Margot have never been the ones who like to make troubles, traveling with the couple's family is definitely a good job.
If it weren't for Vito's relationship, she might not have been able to get this opportunity.
As for Sabrina, she was abducted by Josie.
Don't look at the last time I met Sabrina, she seems to be a maid of the Lebile family, but in fact the two parties have no direct employment relationship, she will appear there only because Sabrina's father is John ·Lebile's driver, that's why I help out at Lebile's house to earn some pocket money.
In addition, this little girl is only 15 years old now.
Josie just briefly described to her and her driver father the possible class transition after becoming famous, and John Lebile's smooth sailing, and easily got the little girl's "deed of sale".
Of course, Josie didn't hide this matter from Margot, but told Margot directly that this little girl has celebrity looks, so she was going to make her a star.
Margot was very considerate and didn't obstruct anything... because she knew very well that if Josie really had any bad thoughts about this little girl, she could sneak them in, and there was no need to tell her.
So she chose to trust Josie without reservation, and she took great care of the little girl who went out alone for the first time along the way. When she got off the plane, the little girl almost hugged Margot and called her sister... Well, I had to It is said that this is also Margot's shrewdness, and she has established a good relationship with this little girl. It is really hard to say whether this little girl will stand up to Josie or her in the future.
Compared to Sabrina, Angela and Margot seemed a bit out of place.
The communication between the two sides was extremely limited throughout the whole process. Although there was nothing abnormal in the words, the sense of repulsion that rejected people thousands of miles away was beyond words.
It's not that Margot thinks this girl is a threat, but simply thinks that the girl's level is too low and she doesn't like it.
This kind of differential treatment is obviously not due to the difference in status, otherwise Margot's attitude towards Sabrina and Francesca would not be so gentle.
And Angela obviously understood this, and she stuck to Linden Schneider almost the whole time, like a frightened little quail... Margot's powerful aura brought her a great sense of oppression.
For this silent war between women, Josie and Lyndon Schneider chose to be silent throughout.
Just kidding, both of them are geniuses, Josie would have to be crazy to care about a woman who has nothing to do with him, Angela's position here is very clear, she is the lover of his subordinates, plus a tool to make money.
Lyndon Schneider will not offend the proprietress just because of a mere lover.
When getting off the plane, Vito and Brook led the way, Josie and Margot got off the plane first, Francesca and Sabrina followed behind, and Linden Schneider wisely led Angela to follow behind.
These two are the general managers of the two film companies.
One of the two film companies is called Silger Films, and the general manager is Pete, and the other is called Rose Films, and the general manager is Brad.
In the 1940s, the pattern of the eight major film companies in Hollywood has been formed.
But just like the future, in addition to the eight major film companies in Hollywood, there are countless small companies of all kinds.
These two are the latter.
And don’t look at the names of film companies, but in fact, both of them were just tools used by gangsters to clear up relationships with local celebrities, and their nature is more similar to certain types of companies that specialize in cultivating wild models in later generations.
First of all, they used extremely low prices to trick young girls who were trying to come to Hollywood to find opportunities to sign a series of unequal contracts.
Then use the contract to force these girls to submit.
Don’t be surprised, because even in the 21st century, many entertainment companies and film companies do the same thing, but they do it in a more subtle way, unlike this era where it is almost semi-public.
However, among the two companies, the situation of Siegel Films is better than that of Rose Films.
Because this belongs to the former Jewish gang leader, Benjamin Siegel's industry.
Siegel is also a guy who likes to show off, so he has also participated in several movies.
But I didn’t make much money, and basically lost money.
But also because of this reason, anyway, Siegel Pictures has a complete range of equipment and other things, like a serious film company.
In contrast, Rose Films is completely just a bag company.
Of course, after Josie's arrival, these two companies will definitely not be able to do the dirty things before, it's completely unnecessary.
Even two companies, he is planning to merge into one... Keeping both of them has no meaning other than wasting money and resources.
But these two managers, Josie didn't mean to abolish them.
Because when he read the materials before coming to Los Angeles, he discovered that these two were still considered talents.
According to the original positioning of these two companies in the hands of gangsters, it should be impossible to make money from movies.
But the fact is that these two people actually made a few movies with extremely limited resources, and they made a profit... Of course, the few movies played by Siegel were the exception.
Especially the manager of Rose Films, relying on very little funds to make a profitable movie by renting equipment and venues.
is amazing.
Even if the money earned is not much, it can be said to be a manifestation of ability.
So Josie is also planning to give these two a chance.
Of course, we have to wait for Josie to see the situation of the two companies on the spot.
