Inside the MGM studio, documentary director Buggs Moran and his team worked overtime.
Eight cameras were used in this shoot, so there is plenty of video footage.
What he has to do now is to edit these film and television materials into a thrilling documentary.
Two days and two nights passed.
A 68-minute documentary was released.
Organize a film screening.
Hardy came, MGM boss Mayer came, President Johnston came, Mayor Ross and Commissioner Ed also came.
Several big guys sat down to watch the movie together.
The video begins with newspapers flashing across the screen, reporting on the robbery of the Los Angeles branch of Bank of America.
What follows is an introduction to the entire robbery case.
After the robbery, many reporters rushed to the scene and took many photos and recorded videos of the scene.
Innocent passers-by were beaten to death, a money transport truck was riddled with bullet holes, several security personnel were beaten to death, and a bank lobby was in ruins.
The brutality of the robbers and the horror of the scene were obvious at a glance.
Next, the newspapers reported that there have been frequent bank robberies in Los Angeles in recent years. Los Angeles has already gained the notoriety of being the "crime capital". The police drove police cars and carried alarms to various places, but they could not extinguish the flames of evil.
Moriah Johnston, president of the Los Angeles branch of Bank of America, appears on camera and is very angry about the bank robbery. He offers a reward of $20,000 for clues leading to the robbers and revenge against them to protect the safety of customers.
Then Mayor Ross and Police Chief Ed were interviewed, and each expressed their views and determination on the matter.
At this time, HD security officially appeared.
The camera extends from the guardhouse at the gate to the office building and finally to the strategic research room. The layout here is very similar to the military strategic research room, with various maps and files placed around. Several people in black special combat uniforms sit around a round table studying the entire process of the bank robbery.
......
The plot continues to develop.
I've always been quite nervous.
The final climax is naturally the siege and capture of the robbers.
The footage of the arrest process is also the most comprehensive, with a total editing time of more than 20 minutes. There are bullets whistling, heavy machine guns roaring, and explosions continuing. Watching the robbers being killed one by one, the viewers feel very satisfied and enjoyable.
Throughout the operation, HD security personnel demonstrated extremely strong combat capabilities, moved quickly, and had advanced command and communication, completely crushing the robbers.
hd The security personnel carried out the only living robber, the camera froze, and finally turned into a photo in the newspaper.
The insider searched for the bank's lost cash box and finally found it in the cellar. When they opened the cash box, they revealed a densely packed banknotes inside. The camera kept shooting from multiple angles, which really stimulated people's adrenaline.
The HD security personnel came out carrying the money box, and the photo once again became a photo in the newspaper.
At the end of the video,
HD Security handed over the money box and the robbers to the Los Angeles Police Department. President Lanster shook hands with Johnston, and the two parties formally signed an agreement. HD Security officially took over the security business of Bank of America Los Angeles Bank.
Lanster shook hands with Chief Ed of the Los Angeles Police Department and signed an agreement. From now on, HD Security will become the peripheral force of the Los Angeles Police Department, responsible for some street security patrols, emergency incident handling, strong firepower support and other tasks.
Hardy was very satisfied with the editing of the entire film. The film was tense and exciting, comparable to a gun battle blockbuster, and was enough to attract audiences.
Everything that should be reflected is reflected. Bank of America and the Los Angeles Police Department both have positive images, and HD Security appears in the same posture as the Avengers, fighting criminals and saving the entire city.
The video ends and the lights come on.
Several bigwigs applauded together.
"Mayor Ross, Chief Ed, President Johnston, what do you think?" Hardy asked with a smile.
Mayor Ross nodded. "It's a very exciting documentary. It's not at all groggy. The whole process is thrilling and exciting. The part where the robbers are eliminated at the end is the best."
He was very satisfied with the documentary.
At least I look very good on it, and that's enough.
"Well, very good. The business philosophy of our Bank of America has basically been reflected." said President Johnston.
Chief Ed beside him said hesitantly, "The image of the police is a little weak, isn't it?"
Several people in the room looked at him, thinking: Don't you know what you are like? If it weren't for HD security, do you think you can solve the case?
Ed coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment.
The documentary is complete.
Meyer told everyone that he would hold a preview screening in Los Angeles. If the effect was good, as long as the attendance rate reached 30%, which was on par with other documentary data, he would promote it to major theaters across the United States.
Three days later.
Eight movie theaters in Los Angeles put up posters.
"Los Angeles Bank Robbery".
The poster shows several HD security personnel wearing special combat uniforms and fully armed.
"The most realistic Los Angeles bank robbery, 68 minutes of thrilling and exciting, you will definitely be hooked after watching it, and the ticket price is only 10 cents."
The current movie ticket prices are basically between 20 cents and 35 cents. Because it is a documentary, Hardy deliberately priced it at half the price to attract more people to watch it.
Because the robbery was widely reported in newspapers, many people were very curious about the robbery and were willing to spend money to go to the cinema to watch the whole process.
There was no such thing as a premiere.
The show officially premiered at 1pm that day.
The cinema used to show documentaries, but people were not very enthusiastic about them. Usually, only a small number of people would go into the cinema to watch such films. But today was different. There were crowds of people outside the cinema, but the blockbuster films being played were no different.
Hardy had nothing to do today, so he drove to pick up little Lori Taylor and took her to see a movie. Taylor hadn't seen Hardy for several days and was very happy to go out and watch a movie with him.
The little beauty looked at the poster and asked:
"Mr. Hardy, HD Security is your company, right?"
“Yes.”
"I read in the newspaper that HD security defeated the robbers easily. They will have to maintain law and order in Los Angeles in the future. Mr. Hardy is amazing." Taylor couldn't help but praise him.
The two walked into the cinema and sat next to each other.
The cinema was almost full.
This is simply unimaginable.
This is a documentary. Even if it is a well-made movie, it is already remarkable to have an attendance rate of 70% to 80%.
Movie playback,
The entire "Los Angeles Bank Robbery" is not dull like a documentary, nor is there too much preaching and moralizing; it is just a narrative.
Show that excitement.
Taylor was deeply attracted by the content.
His big eyes stared at the screen without moving.
The same was true for other spectators.
The climax comes in the last twenty minutes. The whole action is extremely exciting, with bullets flying everywhere and gunfire hitting flesh. It is absolutely comparable to a gun battle movie, and even more realistic.
Even some forbidden gory scenes were not edited.
End of video.
The audience discussed as they walked out.
Many people were very excited.
If modern people saw this documentary, some would probably criticize the film company for being unscrupulous, saying that this documentary portrayed HD security in too high a light.
This is a fucking commercial disguised as a documentary.
The owner of this security company must have spent money.
Yes,
Hardy did spend money.
Before editing,
He gave Director Moran a content production process sheet, sorting out the entire plot process, and of course, a check for $10,000.
Moran did not succumb to the temptation of the check.
He simply felt that the film flow written by Hardy was better.
He is currently filming two movies, both of which were written by boss Hardy himself, so he is definitely not an amateur.
It was shown for three consecutive days.
When the box office statistics were calculated, MGM was surprised to find that the box office performance of the film was better than that of many other movies.
The main reason is that the pre-promotion was sufficient and the event was very sensational, which attracted so many people to the cinema.
Mayer waved his hand and asked the distribution department to play the film in theaters across the United States, perhaps even making a fortune from this documentary.
Anyway, no matter how you look at it now, HD movies and documentaries are only profitable and not losing money, and there is even a trend of making huge profits.
Soon, "The Bank Robbery" was released in theaters across the United States. Although other cities were not as popular as Los Angeles, with an attendance rate of 80% to 90%, it was still much better than ordinary films and there was absolutely no problem in making money.
Meyer called Hardy and said with a smile: "Hardy, I found that you are a marketing genius. You managed a simple bank robbery so perfectly."
"According to the current box office trend, if it is broadcast for a month, it should be able to reach 2 million box office. Your cost for this documentary is extremely limited. After deducting the share of the theater and the distribution fee, you can probably earn about 500,000."
"More importantly, this incident has led to the cooperation between HD Security, the Los Angeles Police Department and Bank of America. I guess this is the focus of your plan. Moreover, through publicity, everyone in the United States has become aware of HD Security. HD Security will be able to conduct business very smoothly in the future."
"Hardy, you took this whole thing to extremes."
Meyer admitted that he now admired Hardy's brain. How could such a person not make money in business? He is now very optimistic about Hardy's future.
"MGM makes a lot of money. The publicity and promotion costs account for more than half of the profits," Hardy said with a smile.
"That's just a small amount of money, I'm sure you won't mind it," said Meyer.
It is impossible for Hardy not to care about hundreds of thousands, mainly because other gains are greater.
HD Security has now signed a contract with Bank of America. The Los Angeles branch of Bank of America has a headquarters with a safe, five business halls, and three money transport vehicles, requiring a total of 85 security personnel.
According to the contract signed by both parties, Bank of America has to pay HD Security more than one million dollars in security fees every year, including vault security, business hall security and money transport vehicle security. If a robbery occurs, HD Security Company promises to retaliate against the robbers free of charge.
Hardy Security now has only about 120 people, and Bank of America alone takes up most of them. Hardy then instructed Lanster to continue recruiting people.
Hardy's ideal is to develop HD Security into a company like G4S. Later, G4S had more than 620,000 employees, business in 115 countries around the world, and undertook dozens of business categories.
Now Hadi Anbao has taken a solid step, built a reputation, and is in control of his own direction. He believes that he will be able to develop in the future.
The matter of the security company had just been concluded, and Hardy received another good news. The financial company called him and said that they had completed the acquisition of Nesh Mining's shares.
Nesh Mining originally had four shareholders, two major shareholders and two minor shareholders. David Nesh, that bastard, brought Nesh Mining to the bottom and it was already beyond recovery. At this time, a financial company came to acquire the company, and after a bit of professional analysis and deception, the three shareholders sold all their shares in a package.
At least they can get some money back if they sell it now. If the stock price drops to zero, they won't be able to get any money back. The company still has foreign debts, so they may have to pay out of their own pockets to fill the hole.
The financial company found David Nesh again. He had been imprisoned and was awaiting trial. At first, he wanted to hold on to the shares to make more money. Having money in hand would at least make him live more comfortably in prison.
The person from the financial company smiled and said, "We have already acquired the shares of the other three companies, totaling 31%. Although it is a little less than yours, we can surpass you by just acquiring a little more in the market. I believe you can imagine what will happen next."
People who deal with finance have plenty of ways to deal with a listed company on the verge of bankruptcy, and in the end they can make David's shares worthless.
Moreover, he was still in prison and had no power to resist.
If he sold it now, he could at least get back more than 200,000 US dollars. Finally, David gave in.
At this point, Hardy completely owned the Nesh Mining. As for what to do next, he was not in a hurry. He would leave it alone for now and let this financial company take care of the stock market matters.
There is a globe in Hardy's office. It is one meter tall and is made with great precision. He reached out and pointed at the globe. Brazil, Australia, Peru, Chile, and Africa are places with rich mineral resources.
When you become successful in the future, you can buy the land with mineral veins, and even if the land has already been mined, you can operate it.
And oil.
It is only 1946 now, and we still have a lot of room for maneuver. Many large oil fields have not yet been discovered.
Of course,
These can only be discussed after he has the strength. Before he has enough strength, holding too much money or resources will only bring disaster to himself.
"Ring, ring, ring~~!"
The phone on the desk rang.
Hardy picked up the phone.
"Joan, this is Siegel. I heard from Mayer that you recently invested 1 million in a movie?" Siegel's voice came from the phone.
"Yes, I made some money from stock trading," said Hardy.
Hardy's money was mainly earned from speculation in the Nesh mining industry and had nothing to do with the mafia.
Siegel paused for a moment and said, "A few days ago, I had a big fight with some of my partners. They came to Las Vegas and were very dissatisfied with the progress of the project. They said I was too extravagant and idealistic."
"I asked them for money, but they refused to pay for the new project. The money I have now can only support me for half a month at most, but it is still a long way from completion."
"Mr. Siegel, what do you mean?" Hardy asked.
"I mean, are you interested in becoming a shareholder in the casino?" Siegel asked.
