Taylor found her mother, Sarah. Sarah saw her daughter and took the plate from her: "Isha, I'll take you to see a director, Ronald Denim. He is planning to shoot a western movie recently. There is a role in his movie that may be suitable for you."

After saying this, he took his daughter's hand and walked quickly towards the hall.

He put down the plates at the table and pulled Taylor to a group of people. In the middle was a man in his forties, the director Ronald Denim that Sarah had mentioned.

Ronald Denim is not one of the top directors in Hollywood, but he is also a second-tier director. He is preparing to shoot a movie about the development of the West, mainly telling the various difficulties encountered by this family in the western development.

There are seven people in this family, including father, mother, eldest son, two daughters, youngest son, youngest daughter, and a dog.

The second daughter was about 15 or 16 years old. When Sarah heard about it, she recommended her own daughter Taylor to Ronald Denim.

Taylor had already filmed two movies before and was quite famous. Ronald Denim naturally knew what Taylor was like. He thought about it and refused:

"For the role of the second daughter, I needed someone who was a little more mature. She also had a love story. She met another family who also came to the West to open up the wasteland. She developed feelings for the second son of that family, and in the end the two families became the best of allies."

Sarah was unwilling to give up. "Isa can actually play a more mature role. She is at the reception. I will ask her to come over and perform for Mr. Nim?"

Ronaldinho was a little embarrassed to refuse. After all, this was a cocktail party and if he refused too bluntly, both parties would look bad.

"Okay, ask Miss Taylor to come over and perform a piece." Ronald Denim said perfunctorily.

Sarah then ran out in a hurry to find her daughter.

Ronald Denim looked at Elizabeth Taylor. He admitted that Taylor was very beautiful and had a well-developed figure, but she was too short, probably only about 1.5 meters tall, which made her look younger.

Elizabeth Taylor was only 1.57 meters tall when she grew up, which was considered relatively short among Europeans and Americans, but she maintained a very good figure. She was the type who could eat anything without gaining weight. She also practiced ballet since she was a child, so her figure was very perfect.

and,

Elizabeth Taylor's beauty is that of exquisite beauty.

There is nobility in his bones.

Actually, it's fine now.

Elizabeth's temperament became even more arrogant in her later years. She played the Egyptian queen with alluring charm, nobility and elegance, which no one has been able to match to this day.

The second daughter Ronaldinho was looking for was pretty, but he wanted the kind of beauty that a country girl would have, and she had to be hardworking and simple, so that she would match the plot.

Sarah asked Taylor to perform a scene, and Taylor performed a short segment of her lines in the movie Jane Eyre, and then looked at the director with big eyes.

Ronald Denim paused, smiled and shook his head, "Sorry, Taylor, I'm afraid this role in my movie is not suitable for you."

Rejected.

Mother Sarah was a little disappointed, but she was a smart woman and didn't continue to pester him. It was fine to ask someone for a play, but if she kept pestering him, it would be annoying.

Elizabeth Taylor was depressed.

She couldn't remember how many times she had been rejected in the past two years.

Sarah was not discouraged.

Take Elizabeth with you to continue chatting with other directors and stars, maybe you will meet an opportunity during the chat.

Taylor followed his mother obediently, greeting everyone with a fake smile and playing his role.

......

Hardy returned to the lobby.

I took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray.

Looking around the hall, there were handsome men and beautiful women everywhere. In the crowd, Hardy saw a fat man in his 50s.

He has a typical British bald head, a high nose bridge, a big chin, and is not tall, like an oil barrel. However, there are many people around this oil barrel.

Hardy was impressed.

He now has a very good memory. Recalling his past life memories, he finally knew who the fat old man was: the famous director Alfred Hitchcock.

Hitchcock was a truly great director in Hollywood, and was later hailed as a master of horror. His first film in Hollywood, Rebecca, in 1940, won an Oscar for Best Picture.

In fact, he was not really considered a master until after the 1950s, when he made several very influential films in succession, such as "North by Northwest", which earned him the title of film master.

Hardy's heart moved, and he walked towards the group where Hitchcock was, holding his glass.

"Hello, Mr. Hitchcock. I'm Jon Hardy, assistant to the chairman of Noah's Ark Films." Hardy introduced himself.

"Hello Mr. Hardy."

Hitchcock spoke with a thick British accent.

"Mr. Hitchcock, our film company is preparing to shoot a new film. I wonder if you have any plans recently?" Hardy asked.

Hardy's words aroused Hitchcock's interest. He had just completed a movie last year and had no plans for this year. He had been looking for better creative themes.

Although he has a lot of scripts in his hands, he is not interested in filming them immediately.

There was one that he quite liked, which was about the story of the United States sending a woman to investigate Nazi leaders after the end of World War II. It was called "Notorious".

He thought that Ingrid Bergman would play the female lead and Gary Grant would be good actors, but these plans remained only in his mind and were not implemented because he still felt that the story was a bit old-fashioned.

National sentiment, spy wars, emotional entanglements between men and women, and a crisis-ridden environment seem to have no room for breakthrough.

"New movie, what's it about?" Hitchcock asked politely.

"This is a story about a killer and a little girl," Hardy told Hitchcock again the story he had just told Elizabeth Taylor.

At first Hitchcock didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the story of the killer and the girl didn't sound original. But when he heard the girl standing at the door and begging the killer to open it, Hitchcock gradually became interested.

As Hardy's story went deeper and deeper, Hitchcock was gradually attracted to it, especially the naive relationship between the 14-year-old girl and the 40-year-old man, which made him feel a forbidden passion.

After the story was told, Hitchcock pondered for a while, looked at Hardy and said, "It's a good story. It piqued my interest. Do you have a script?"

"Not yet," Hardy shrugged.

"Then get a script out and we can talk about it after I read it," said Hitchcock.

"Okay, I will ask the screenwriter to get the script out as soon as possible, and then I will contact Mr. Hitchcock." Hardy said with a smile.

Hitchcock took out a business card and handed it to Hardy, "Here's my contact information. Remember to find me when the script comes out."

After saying goodbye to Hitchcock, Hardy thought about it and went to find Mayer, the big boss of MGM.

"Mr. Mayer, I'm planning to invest in a movie. I just talked to director Hitchcock and he's very interested in the script. I wonder if MGM is willing to invest."

When Mayer heard that Hitchcock was interested in Hardy's script, he also became interested. "Cooperation in filming, sure. Tell me what the story is."

Hardy told the story to Meyer again. Meyer thought the story of the killer and the little girl was good, an urban drama, and the cost should not be too high.

Hardy also said that he planned to use MGM's filming team for the filming. Currently, Noah's people were filming The Whore, and Hardy Films was just an empty shell, so it would be most appropriate to use MGM's resources and actors.

Meyer became even more interested when he heard this. "When you finish the script, call Hitchcock and we'll have a good chat."

......

While Hardy was chatting with Mayer, others were watching him.

Elizabeth Taylor's mother, Sarah, was a shrewd woman. She had been paying attention to the developments of the entire party and contacting those directors and stars. She didn't find any opportunities for Taylor, but she didn't give up and kept looking for opportunities.

In this conference, the most popular person is naturally MGM's big boss Mayer.

As the boss of one of the eight major film companies in Hollywood, he controls the lives and deaths of countless people, including big stars and directors.

Hardy and Mayer were talking about the new movie. They sat together and talked for a long time, and Sarah saw it too.

She realized she had never seen the young man before.

Probably not a star.

To be able to talk with Mayer for such a long time, he must be someone of great importance.

She remembered that she seemed to have seen him greet someone from Noah's Ark Films just now, so they should know each other. She walked up to Richard Day, the production manager of Noah's Ark Films.

"Hello, Richard." Sarah greeted Richard with a smile.

Sarah is also a beautiful woman, otherwise how could she have given birth to a daughter as beautiful as Taylor.

"Hello, Sarah." Richard replied with a smile.

"Is Noah's company filming any new movies recently?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, one is a collaboration with Warner, and the other is a collaboration with HD Films, called "A Fistful of Dollars." All the production staff of the company are now in New Mexico," said Richard.

Sarah had heard of the name "Into the Wild". A few days ago, the Ava Gardner incident broke out, and the newspaper said that the song she sang was one of the interludes of "Into the Wild". Now Ava is still filming in New Mexico.

"HD Film Company, I've never heard of it before. Is it a new company?" Sarah asked.

"Haha, it's a company founded by Jon Hardy, assistant to the chairman of our company. He invested in that movie. Noah was only in charge of the filming. Ava Gardner is also an artist under his agency." Richard said.

The name Jon Hardy was unfamiliar to Sarah.

She was a woman of great social skills, unwilling to miss any opportunity, and immediately asked, "Is Mr. Jon Hardy here today? Can you introduce him to me?"

Richard pointed in the direction of MGM's big boss Mayer and said, "Did you see the young man chatting with Mr. Mayer? That's Hardy."

Sarah was slightly stunned.

I came here originally to ask who the young man who was chatting with Mayer was. I had planned to chat with Richard first and then ask, but I didn't expect to talk to him directly.

It turned out that the young man was Noah's assistant to the chairman, and he also owned a film company and an agency, and had already started investing in filming a movie.
