I became a son-in-law in the United States

Hemingway was completely convinced, and even he himself had to admit that Luther was far more mature than him in terms of struggle.

"Alright, Mr. Luther, you say there are methods to struggle, so how should we struggle?"

Luther paused, then put his hands behind his back:

"In short, we should unite everyone we can unite, make as many friends as possible, and make as few enemies as possible."

"So, we'll continue developing new generations of young people?"

“That’s right,” Luther nodded and continued to explain, “Youth have always been an indispensable force and a key factor in determining the future of a country. America shouldn’t just have the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. They represent their respective positions, but no one speaks up for the youth at the bottom, except for us.”

Hemingway nodded: "I think I understand. I will exercise more restraint in my work from now on."

"Alright, I don't come here every day, so I'll leave this to you."

After finishing his sentence, Luther didn't linger. He gave a few more instructions to his brother-in-law and Tom before driving away in a hurry.

The operation of New Youth requires money, especially as it continues to grow, it needs a massive amount of funding.

Right now, the money is all pooled together, which is barely enough to get by. But as the organization grows larger, the funding required will also increase, and then we'll have to rely on ourselves.

In addition, he needs to keep enough money to short the stock market, especially to short the stocks of old money investors, so Luther's motivation to make money is very strong at the moment.

As the car drove along the tree-lined road, the bright sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting countless dappled spots of light on the road surface.

Luther took a deep breath, savoring the crisp air, then floored the gas pedal and headed towards the movie theater.

About 40 minutes later, the car stopped in front of the movie theater. Luther got out, tidied himself up quickly, and went upstairs as usual.

The box office is doing well these days, especially after breaking box office records. This small company has become famous in the industry and has attracted a lot of people to come for interviews.

Since this script was modeled after "The Sound of Music," in addition to the nun, there was also a colonel and seven child actors, so quite a few people came.

As soon as Luther walked in, Reynolds came over excitedly to greet him.

"Mr. Luther, you've come at the right time! We're in trouble!"

"What trouble? Is someone targeting you?"

"No, not at all," Reynolds wiped his sweat before explaining, "I guess it's because we've become famous. A lot of actors came to audition this time, and there are quite a few promising talents. We're not sure about them, so we'll need your final decision."

Where are these actors?

"It's in the practice room, I'll take you there."

Soon, the two walked through a corridor and arrived at the rehearsal room for the box office movie.

This is a separate floor of the building, usually used for actors to rehearse, and occasionally for auditions or casting calls.

When Luther walked in, he found that there were quite a few people standing in the corridor, the oldest being seventeen or eighteen years old and the youngest only five or six years old. They must have been the child actors who played the seven children of the colonel in the film.

When Neil Young saw the boss arrive, he greeted him with a smile, then lowered his voice and said:

"Mr. Luther, after our rigorous selection process, the most competitive actors are all here."

After he finished speaking, he handed over a list containing information about the actors.

Luther looked around and found that they were all ordinary actresses, no stars or big names.

If you really have to pick a phone number, it's Alice. After starring in "Walden," she became a household name in Hollywood.

MGM later sent people over to talk to Alice, but she refused and instead signed a long-term contract with a box office hit, which seemed like a way of returning the favor.

This is nothing to the big studios in Hollywood; it's just that a moderately famous actor doesn't want to come, it's not a big deal at all.

Famous actresses command extremely high salaries, some earning millions a year, and they generally don't consider box office hits.

So most of the people who came this time weren't very famous.

However, not everyone is like that; there are always exceptions.

After saying that, Luther pulled out a list that read: Anita Page.

"Let me see this."

"Please wait a moment." Reynolds nodded, and the staff member next to him hurriedly went out to call for help.

After a while, a short girl wearing a white dress walked in.

She was very beautiful, with a stunning face and a great figure. Her sunny and cheerful demeanor was reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe, making her well-suited for musicals.

Upon entering, the girl gave a simple, ladylike greeting: "Good afternoon, Mr. Luther."

Luther nodded and then said, "Patty, you probably know our situation. This time we're filming a musical, which means you not only need to dance, but also record live. In other words, you not only need to say your lines, but you should also be able to sing."

This is indeed a difficult requirement, especially for actresses from the silent film era. Delivering lines was troublesome enough, let alone singing.

But Page laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Luther, I'm fine."

Without further explanation, she immediately stepped forward and sang "Edelweiss".

It must be said that her voice, like her beauty, was truly stunning. Neil Young nodded repeatedly, and if Luther hadn't been the boss, he would have almost made the decision.

"One last question," Luther paused, then asked, "why did you choose us, why did you choose box office hits?"

Page smiled and said, "Mr. Luther, to be honest, I also received an invitation from MGM, but I know in my heart that even if I went, I would probably only be playing a minor role. So, I would rather get a better role in a box office movie."

Luther nodded, thinking the girl was quite honest.

Reynolds smiled and said, "Okay, today's interview was very pleasant. We'll let you know the results later."

"Okay, thank you everyone."

After Paige left, several more people came in; these were the actors who played the Colonel and his seven children.

Of course, Alice plays the eldest daughter of the colonel, Sally. The two are about the same age and have similar temperaments, both being the type who are just beginning to experience romantic feelings.

The other child actors were quickly cast as well. Junior Delkin, who is currently in his adolescence, will play the second son, Friedrich. He is very talented.

Janet Gaines plays the third sister, Louisa. Although she is not young, she has a baby face, so the audience can't tell.

It's worth mentioning that this actress later won the first Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in "Seventh Heaven," making her a truly memorable figure in film history.

As for the fourth, fifth, and sixth children, they were all carefully selected little guys with good voices.

It doesn't need many lines, it doesn't need much acting skill, it just needs to be cute, and it meets all those requirements.

And that's how the cast of "The Sound of Music" was finalized.

Neil Young didn't hold back either, and started filming on the third day.

For Luther, there was only one important thing right now: to keep making money.

P.S.: It's Tuesday again, time for the competition! Please read on and vote, everyone!
