Hadi Hotel began to advertise in major media.

For a time.

The advertisements of the Hardy Hotel appeared overwhelmingly in the public eye.

The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Financial News and other newspapers introduced the Hardy Hotel in detail, describing it as a paradise on earth. As long as you come here, you can freely enjoy the fun of gambling.

Hardy Hotel has the most luxurious casino, as long as you are lucky, you can get rich overnight.

There are also the most luxurious hotels, the most delicious wine and food, countless beauties, and various entertainment facilities.

The hotel is expected to open on October 10th. There will be various preferential policies. No matter where you fly to Las Vegas, you can redeem one-tenth of the fare at the casino with a ticket.

Even if you fly from New York, a $200 ticket will give you $20 in chips. Of course, these chips are mud chips and cannot be directly exchanged for cash. You need to win a bet to exchange for cash chips.

Los Angeles has a special casino shuttle bus. The fare is $7. If you go to the casino to play, the ticket for the day can be exchanged for chips.

The casino also has a variety of sweepstakes. A prize is opened every 2 hours. As long as you bet $1, it is possible to get the ultimate prize and win everyone's betting bonus.

A few days later, the latest issue of "Playboy" magazine was published. It introduced the Flamingo Casino in five pages and more than a dozen photos, all in color. The casino of the Hardy Hotel is magnificent, just like a palace, more than people. Any casino I have ever seen is much more advanced.

TV stations have also begun to take turns in advertising.

CBS and nbc TV broadcasts cover the entire United States. After World War II, 30 million households in the United States have already used TV sets in 2 million households. Hardy knows that the television industry will rapidly rise in the future and become the most important form of entertainment for people.

So he invested in a TV factory, and there will be no worries about selling TVs in the next few decades. No family in future generations will have one or more TV sets, and they will continue to update.

HD Pictures produced a total of 6 commercials, each of which lasts about 3 minutes. In the video, Ava Gardner and Heidi Ram are the ambassadors of the casino, bringing people to appreciate the charm of the casino.

Heidi Lama is known as the most attractive woman in Hollywood, and Ava Gardner is now known as the new generation of **** goddesses in Hollywood. The advertisements of these two people are definitely attractive enough.

Just these ads, Hardy invested half a million dollars.

However, he felt that the money was very necessary. A large-scale publicity must be carried out before a movie is shown, not to mention the investment in a casino with millions of dollars.

According to the survey feedback during this period, it is found that the effect is really good. People in many cities on the east coast know about the opening of the Hardy Hotel and Casino, especially in Los Angeles, where there are free bus rides. Many people say that they can be used on weekends. Play in the past and relax as a tourist.

......

Things are right.

Hardy ushered in leisure time.

It's a pity that the woman is not there.

Ava Gardner is filming the film "Across the World", now in New York, and even going to the UK to shoot a scene.

Little Lori Elizabeth Taylor has also gone out. The production of "This Killer Is Not So Cold" is completed and released by MGM. Now she is leading the creative team to promote it all over the United States. It is estimated that she will be back next month, and the movie will be officially released when she returns .

Just then the phone rang.

Pick it up and answer it.

It was from Heidi Ramah.

"Hadi, Director Nolan and I have selected a group of male actors and we have compiled the list. Do you have time to check it out?" Heidi asked.

"If you have time, come to my manor." Hardy said.

After the script of "Human Ghosts Are Not Over" was completed, Hardy gave Nolan and Heidi Lamar the responsibility. The preparation of the crew was a very troublesome task, especially since the male number one, Sam, was not selected for a long time.

Heidi Lama came to the manor. There was a stack of actor files in the folder, with photos on it for easy selection. The files recorded the actor's life and past works.

Heidi handed the first copy, and at the same time introduced:

"Lawrence Oliver, an Oscar nomination for best actor, has a wonderful performance in stage plays and movies, Vivien Leigh's husband."

Hardy took a look at Lawrence Oliver's resume. He is 40 years old this year, but there is no problem with makeup.

"Have you been invited?" Hardy asked.

Heidi spread out her hands and said helplessly: "I have been invited, but something went wrong in the middle. Lawrence Oliver received the brief introduction of the story we sent in the past. Vivien Leigh actually fell in love with the role of Meili. Lawrence Oliver wrote back. , If Vivien Leigh is allowed to play the role of Mei Li, he agrees to play Sam."

After Heidi looked at Hardy, Vivien Leigh was too famous. The role of Scarlett in "Gone with the Wind" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making Scarlett the hottest star, and afterwards, "The Blue Bridge of Souls" made Vivien Leigh. The appeal is unparalleled.

If she comes to play Meili, she will definitely attract countless audiences into the theater, and at least the box office will be guaranteed.

However, this drama is Heidi’s painstaking effort, how could she be willing to give it to others like this, but Hardy is the investor, Vivien Leigh has a box office guarantee, and she does not know how Hardy will choose.

Hardy glanced at Lawrence Oliver's photo again, and threw the file aside, "Who is next?"

Heidi was taken aback for a moment.

"Don't you think about it anymore?"

Hardy looked at the woman with a smile, "Do you really want me to play him?"

Heidi was speechless when asked.

Hardy reached out and touched the woman's face and said, "I always think that a man can be romantic but not indecent, not noble but not shameless."

"Do you think I will give up my previous promise for the sake of the box office, woman, you are wrong."

Heidi's eyes lit up and she rubbed her face against the man's hand, "Sorry Hardy, I was wrong, I apologize."

The two continued to choose.

"How about Gene Kelly?"

Hardy took a look at Gene Kelly's information. He was 34 years old and starred in 1945, which made him nominated for an Oscar actor.

Looking at the photo, Hardy felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it, he suddenly remembered, isn’t this the hero of "Song in the Rain"? He brought "Song in the Rain" out ahead of time, gave it to Johnny Fonte, and snatched this. Gene Kelly's truly famous role.

It seems that this Gene Kelly is in good condition and fits Sam's image. Hardy considers whether he can compensate him with this drama.

However, he didn't make a decision right away. There are still a few files after reading them.

Next was a handsome young guy, Montgomery Clift, 27 years old, 1.78 meters tall, handsome in appearance, and played several roles, but did not win any prizes.

Hardy felt a bit of an impression when he saw the name, and he suddenly dug out a memory from his mind. He remembered that this guy had been in a relationship with another life Elizabeth Taylor for a long time.

"No need for this."

Hardy threw the file aside very simply.

Then there are Lee Bowman, Kona Wilde, Glen Ford and other actors who are already well-known in Hollywood. Hardy thinks that their conditions are OK. After all, this has been selected by Nolan and Heidi.

There was a file at the end. Hardy picked it up and took a look. He didn't pay much attention to it, but he was taken aback when he saw the name of the person on it.

Ronald Wilson Leegan.

Hardy read his resume carefully, then looked at the photos, and finally determined that this was the Li Gen who became the governor of California twenty years later and president thirty years later.

In 1937, Li Gen entered Hollywood and played many roles, but he was generally a supporting or second-rate role. After the outbreak of World War II, Li Gen enlisted in the Air Force, but he did not go to the battlefield, but instead shot training videos for the military.

Reagan returned to Hollywood after retiring from the military. He also played some roles in the past two years, but he did not become popular. Hardy remembered that Reagan was an actor until the 1960s. Later he joined the party and won the California governor election within two years. Formally embarking on a political journey, it takes 8 years to act as the governor of California.

Li Gen has a title of orator, which is inseparable from his experience in Hollywood and radio host.

Li Gen, who is 36 years old this year, can only be regarded as a second-rate actor in Hollywood.

But it is this second-rate actor that no one is optimistic about, but he became the president of the United States after decades. Who can think of the changes in the world.

Hardy thought for a while, picked up two files and handed them to Heidi.

"Heidi, call these two people to the film and television company tomorrow. I will come out in the past." Hardy said.

Heidi looked at the files of the two.

Gene Kelly, this is not a surprise to her.

Ronald Reagan was slightly surprised at Hardy’s choice of Reagan Heidi. She felt that among these actors, Regan was definitely not outstanding.

But since the big boss chose them, there must be his reason.

"Tomorrow I will have someone inform them." Heidi said.

Putting the file aside, Hadi took Heidi's hand, "It's really hot in Los Angeles this year. Go, go swimming with me."

There is a huge swimming pool in the manor with green water. Two figures are playing in the pool, splashing fierce water from time to time.

......

The next day.

hd film industry.

In the casting room, Hardy sits in the middle, Director Nolan and Heidi sit on either side, Gene Kelly walks in and nods to the three of them.

Nolan asked Gene Kelly to perform for a while. Gene Kelly was a stage actor and had a deep acting skills, but Hardy was a little dissatisfied. He felt that Gene Kelly's performance was a little deliberate.

Perhaps this is also a common problem of stage actors.

Li Gen walked into the casting room. Li Gen is 36 years old and 185 in height. He looks stable and handsome, and the older he gets, the more handsome he is. No wonder some people say that he is the most handsome of all previous presidents.

Seeing a few people sitting behind the conference table, Li Gen nodded and said hello: "Mr. Hardy, Director Nolan, and good morning Miss Rama."

Unexpectedly, Li Gen would recognize himself.

"Do you know me?" Hardy asked.

"When the New York Times reported on'Playboy Magazine's Miracle', it once published a profile picture of you. I remember your look." Li Gen smiled.

Hardy said in his heart, this guy is really good at talking.

"Well, I just gave you a short script. Let's see if you perform it." Hardy said.

Li Gen nodded, brewing emotions and performing.

Hardy found that Li Gen's performance was very sincere, which was very different from the Coban actor, his emotions were more natural and close to the original ecology of the characters.

Perhaps now people still like performances with a little taste of performance. For example, in the masterpiece "Gone with the Wind", you can see a very strong taste of performance, whether it is surprise, joy, teasing or kissing.

Hardy may be more likely to accept a performance like Li Gen when he accepts the baptism of later movies.

Sincere feelings are also Li Gen's greatest advantage. Perhaps this is the reason why he was able to touch so many people when he gave speeches in later generations.

"Mr. Lee Gen, are you interested in playing the role of Sam?" Hardy asked.

Li Gen showed a surprised expression.

"Really, Mr. Hardy, thank you so much for letting me play the leading role. I must play this role well."

Li Gen said excitedly.

"Ok, then it's so sure."

Although it is not the same world, it is not certain whether Li Gen will be the governor and president in the future, but Hardy still chooses to invest.

Because he always feels that some people are really lucky and many people have very limited achievements no matter how hard they work. Do you think it is because they don't work hard? No, they work harder than anyone else, but they are unsuccessful.

But some people can get to a very high position by doing it casually, and even fate is pushing them away. For example, when Li Gen selected the governor, because there was no suitable candidate in California, people in the party forced him to participate in the election. He was still unwilling, very worried and apprehensive. In the end, he took part when thinking about participating. He was a big deal, but in the end he won and served as governor for two consecutive terms.

Finally participated in the presidential election and won again.

Can you say that people have no luck.

Hardy’s investment is fine now, and there is more than this one. After the filming is finished, Hardy will have more in-depth contact with him, but he is not in a hurry, there is still plenty of time, enough for him to develop himself into himself. Little brother.

"Li Gen, I see your resume. It says that you signed a contract with Warner Bros. for 7 years. After the expiration of the contract, you did not renew your contract. Later, you went to serve as a soldier and did not find a brokerage company when you came back from the battlefield. For your brokerage company, consider whether you are willing to sign a contract with the hd economy company. Don't worry, it will definitely make more than you are now." Hardy said.

Li Gen felt quite sudden.

"Ah~~Mr. Hardy, can I think about it?" Li Gen said.

"No problem at all."

Li Gen paused, "Then if I don't sign a contract, will it affect the role of this movie?"

Hardy laughed, "Don't worry, it won't."

Li Gen looked at Hardy, and said that this young boss was not bad. He didn't take the opportunity to threaten him. He was just a sincere invitation. It seems that he can really consider it when he goes back.
