Li Jia was furrowed on her back by her father's eyes. She thought that everything had come to this point. She stretched her head and shrank her head, and then bit her back teeth and followed her into the study, thinking that she would convince her father no matter what.

After the original French Lumière brothers produced and released short films such as "The Factory Gate", the new thing of the movie quickly became popular in Europe, America and the Ocean Empire.

Many young filmmakers have actively participated in it from their initial appreciation to their active participation. The Empire's film entertainment industry has developed with the development of the world trend and has developed into a major genre that competes with Western films. They should be the leader in the Eastern film industry and lead the development of the Eastern film trend.

The late 19th century

People are in a period of curiosity about movies, and a large number of viewers walked to the screen with the feeling of freshness of finding out, and the number of cinemas grew rapidly.

By 1898, the novelty of movies began to disappear, the number of viewers declined a lot, and many dealers were unprofitable and withdrew from the film business.

This is the first crisis of the film. An important reason for the recovery of the film industry was the Spanish-American War and the Western War in 1898. Many films about war aroused the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies and promoted the domestic craze for the development of the Luzon Islands.

In addition, there is a type of film that promotes the recovery of the movie - a traditional Chinese Kung Fu drama. Film workers shoot classic stories such as "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", "Mantis Boxing", and "Sun Wukong fights the White Bone Demon three times" into a single-shot film, which is very popular.

Such silent movies and subtitles and narrations are easy to understand by Western audiences such as Europe and the United States. Since then, the film industry in foreign countries has gradually grown steadily.

Then feature films appeared in the United States. The Ocean Empire quickly introduced this advanced film production concept and developed drama films on the basis of kung fu films. When silent films were screened, phonograph records were simultaneously broadcast, which won the general love of Chinese people in Asia.

Chinese film workers continued to try to shoot feature films. By 1909, most important film companies in the Ocean Empire began to shoot multiple movies, and occupied the main market in a very short period of time.

By the mid-1910s, drama films had become the standard for screenings of important theaters, with the chaotic and different short films playing in series in the early days, and the screening methods of mixed short films and stage performances gradually disappeared.

With the popularity of feature films, the development of the star system. By 1909, with the popularity of films and the development of feature films, actors continued to appear on the screen, and audiences began to become interested in celebrity actors. They spontaneously asked for the names of stars, movie posters, and gave the stars a stage name.

Film companies quickly discovered this trend and seized business opportunities, and began to use the popular actors at that time to promote the film. This was the "famous actor system" of the Ocean Empire, which quickly became popular in Europe and the United States.

The film industry promotes and develops each other in the cultural exchanges between China and the West, showing a good situation of blooming flowers.

Now

Some actors have shown the box office appeal of famous actors, the establishment of the blockbuster system and the development of feature films, and the status of movie stars is becoming increasingly important. By the 10s, the Monkey King Du, Mary Beckford and Chaplin had appeared.

The films they participated in have a strong box office appeal.

Many important independent film companies appeared in the early 20th century. In 11 years, He Tianci established Tianxing Film Company and established Tianxing Theater with 69 theaters.

Who is He Tianci?

He is the famous Duke He Fang prince. He has dared to beat the fifth prince since he was a child and is a person who is the second generation of the aristocratic circle.

In 12 years, Carl Lemmel founded Universal Film Company and founded Universal Film City in Hollywood in 1915, beginning an early attempt to integrate vertically.

In 12 years, Adolfo Jucole established a celebrity drama company and gained influence through celebrities and adaptation of classic literary works, which is very similar to the traditional famous drama adapted by the Ocean Empire.

Also in 12 years, business tycoon Li Jianhua founded Xinghe Film Company, established Xinghe Film City in Brisbane, established a large studio and famous actor system, and owned record companies, theater companies and professional distribution companies. Opera films are their specialty.

Shortly thereafter, in 13 years, the three brothers Sam, Jack and Harry founded Warner Bros. in the Republic of California and began to produce and release feature films.

In 2014, Hedkinson joined forces with 11 film distribution companies to form Paramount, becoming the first film distribution company to specialize in the release of feature films.

In 14 years, William Fox established Fox Film Company;

MGM's predecessors, Metro Film and Gaodwin Film, were established in different months of 2014.

The establishment of the studio system has enabled the two dream factories of Brisbane in the East and Hollywood in the West to operate rapidly, and the division of labor in the movies has gradually been refined and clarified, and entered the process of industrialization.

In the study room

Li Sixian was so disappointed that she heard her son Li Jia talk.

Among the second generation of the imperial nobles, there are shining outstanding children, such as Li Xiaozu, who is five or six years older than Li Jia, who is now the governor of North America.

There is also Duan Changjiang, who was recently transferred to the position of Justice Director of the Department of Internal Affairs, who walked back with a gold medal in South and Central America, and the future is unlimited.

The "Dianchang River Line" that is famous for the territorial dispute between Argentina and Chile, and the "Dianchang River North Line" between Argentina and Uruguay are all rare masterpieces in the field of diplomacy, which are enough to make Duanchang River go further in his official career.

The famous "Five Tiger Generals of the Humen" in the aristocratic circle refers to the five sons of Li Yong, the viscount of Humen. They are all extraordinary and have a reputation in the imperial aristocratic circle.

The eldest son Li Jianyang has been at least in the UK, and his second son Li Jianguo is the vice chairman and executive director of Somalia Company, and a well-known business tycoon.

The third son Li Jianhua is also a business tycoon. He owns Xinghe Film Company just a fun ticket. His main business is the chairman of Somalia Bank and a very famous rising star in the financial industry.

The fourth son Li Jianzhong stayed in Humen and controlled the family's enterprises in Humen and smuggling channels in West Asia. He handled the 3,000 mercenaries recruited in Somalia during the Wool War.

The fifth son Li Jianping is proficient in many foreign languages ​​and has now become the North American representative of the Somalia consortium and is a guest at the White House in Philadelphia.

Looking at someone else's son and then at his own family, Li Sixian endured the dissatisfaction in his heart and did not say it out loud, but disappointment was inevitable.

Li Jia is mediocre and not motivated. Compared with those outstanding noble children, she is still filial and obedient. She is a bitchy and obedient now and wants to join the movie entertainment industry. How can it not be a headache?

He Tianci, the demon king in the world, is another bad example among the nobles. He can eat, drink, bet and smoke, eat and eat almost nothing. He can dominate famous actors, attack opponents, and do all kinds of bad things, even his father can't control it.

Is it a career for him to start a Tianxing Film Company?

Wrong, that's the new way of playing this young master, and his reputation is really hopeless.

“…

Father, I have a friend at Tianxing Film Company, according to what he said;

More than ten movies produced by Tianxing Film Company have been sold recently, and the exported European, American and Nanyang regions have made hundreds of thousands of gold and made several famous actors famous..."

"Enough," Li Sixian couldn't help but interrupt Li Jia. She stood up and paced back and forth in the room with some anger, calmed down the anger in her heart, and asked coldly. "Since ancient times, famous actors in the Liyuan Garden, singing music and laughing, are all inferior and cheap karma. After all, you are the prince of the Viscount's Mansion. Even if you can't bring glory to the family, you can't become a joke. Have you ever considered these?"

"Father, there are many nobles who invest in the film industry now, not to mention the Duke's Mansion, but also the Viscount Humen Mansion..."

"Can you compare with others? Li Jianhua is the chairman of Somalia Bank, well... he is the leader in the overseas financial industry. When people mentioned that he first thought of a hero in the financial industry rather than a boss of a film company. This is a completely different...silly child.

"But... I have invested it, but I can't get it back!"

"How many have you voted?"

"Oh...that..."

"How much did you vote? Tell me quickly."

"All... I also borrowed tens of thousands of gold." Li Jia finally hesitated and told the truth.

This made Li Sixian raise his foot and kick it over, kick Li Jia in the butt, and cursed angrily, "Get out! Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down. You will not be allowed to come out without my order."

"Father……"

Li Jia was still waiting to argue, but when she saw Li Sixian lifting her feet again, she was so scared that she rolled out and crawled out, and no one could see.

"What a sin." Li Sixian sat down angrily, picked up the hot tea and took a sip, but he couldn't calm down his emotions.

A civil noble like him is different from a military noble. His fiefdom is just a symbolic piece, about a few hundred acres, and he can collect a thousand golden fields every year and rent them to the top.

The empire has always been very strict with officials' corruption and pursues a policy of high salaries to maintain integrity. Family income is mainly annual salary plus bank dividends, and some investment income, which is like 70,000 to 80,000 yuan per year.

With such an income, it is still possible to maintain a decent aristocratic life, but it is definitely impossible to be extravagant.

He knew that in addition to bank stocks, shops and fixed assets, he only saved about 100,000 gold coins in cash. Li Sixian originally wanted to buy a large plantation in Suma Dala Island, but the funds were not enough to lend it, so it would be fine to get a 10,000 or 20,000 acres.

In this way, the family inheritance will also have a stable industry.

Who knew that all the prodigal son had let him lose money, and he borrowed foreign debts without hiding himself, and invested in this unregulated film industry. It was simply profitable and he didn't know what it was!

Why are other people's children so outstanding?

The ancients did not deceive me, and every family had a difficult sutra to recite.

Little do you know

Li Jia is also full of grievances now. He really likes to engage in the film industry. For this reason, he cooperates with like-minded friends to establish Jiahua Film Company.

The company's biggest investment is to buy land, build sets and purchase photography equipment. The land on the outskirts of Brisbane is not cheap. He is ambitious to make a big move, so he invested in the construction of Jiahua Film City.

The scale is still small now, but it is enough to shoot.

Regarding the release of the movie, he also negotiated with Tianxing Company. The filmed video will be released on Tianxing Theater, and the profit sharing conditions are also good.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of the older generation, the new thing of movies is like singing in the Liyuan, and they are all inferior and cheap karma, and famous actors are even more despised.
