The ninth volume, the prosperous world volume, the twenty-eighth section, a hundred flowers bloom in
.
It can be handled. As a veteran newspaper, after half a century of ups and downs, she has lost her energy from the past and has become a stagnant pool. Especially some time ago, as a self-proclaimed fair media, she reported a lot of fake news and dragged it on for Liang Shiyi. As a result, she was publicly criticized by the ICAC. The sales of newspapers have fallen below 10,000, far behind the level of 150,000 in China Daily.
Perhaps it is time to change your mind and live another way. Yang Guang has his own hobbies for movies. In recent years, foreigners have flooded in like a tide of films, most of which are war films. Although Yang Guang admires the photographers who took photos in the rain of bullets, in his opinion, these things have no meaning of beauty, which has caused some photos to be piled up. All he wants to do is to make a movie by himself.
After half a month of preparation, Yang Guang's first movie "General Assault" has been completed. In fact, most of this movie comes from military information. It tells the story of the armored army attacking rapidly and defeating the millions of Russian troops in succession during World War I. Because Zhao Shizhen, as a general at that time, was too brave and did not leave any information, he could only use an ordinary soldier as the protagonist.
Unlike others, Yang Guang made an exception and added a new character. As the protagonist "participated in" that war. With the strong support of the military headquarters, the scenes were arranged similar to those of the battlefield documentary, and then the protagonist was allowed to perform in it. After the post-recording, it was a mess. It was difficult for the audience to find that the protagonist had never participated in the war at all. He just completed the prescribed action in the set.
Yang Guang chose Zhu Suyun as the protagonist. He is a disciple of Bao Fushan, a young actor in the fourth class. He is handsome and good at martial arts dramas (who once played in "Nezha Dahai" when he was young), such as Wang Bodang in "Hongni Pass", Yang Zongbao in "Mukezhai" in "Poison Hongzhou", and Chen Lin in "Beat the Corps". The performances of these characters are quite similar to those of martial arts dramas. He plays beautifully, straightforwardly, and uniquely.
In fact, Zhu Suyun also completed this role well. In the subsequent release, there was a tide of people and had to increase the ticket price again and again. Finally, in a month's screening, he received a total of 12 yuan in ticket prices, which was almost the year of the newspaper's income. Moreover, because this film was praised by the military department, especially the emperor's favor, a 500,000-yuan fundraising fund has been allocated to Yang Guang's account (after five years of transformation, banks across the country have been connected to the Internet and can be deposited and withdrawn from other places)
Under a great situation, Yang Guang immediately started to produce new films. Because many investment institutions were already optimistic about the prospects of movies, they began to build their own film bases. Soon, China's first short feature film "Hard and Hard to Marry" was released. After that, filmmakers appeared one after another to film and operate domestic films, but they were all small-scale, intermittent and minimally effective attempts. The result of this attempt was low investment and low output, and a broken camera could not produce large-scale productions. Yang Guang looked at these people coldly and strengthened his determination.
At the end of 1903, Yang Guang established a celebrity film company and began to play the newly recorded "Beijing Smoke and Clouds" in the same month. Moreover, inspired by some people, celebrity film companies began to release posters and introduce their new films.
"The longest film is as long as 25 minutes in an hour!"
"Celebrities join, a powerful lineup composed of famous young actresses and actresses! The famous Peking Opera actors gather together and see them at a glance."
"Historical movie with a budget of up to 300,000 yuan!"
"The life of the former Finance Minister is in his eyes"
The plot introduction is extremely sensational
This is a touching love story.
This is a sad tragic epic.
The story comes from the "master of popular literature" Mr. Zhao Henshui-
In the decade of turbulent last century, everything was swaying on the verge of collapse and reconstruction.
He, the son of the Finance Minister, Liang Yanxi, she, a poor woman, was lonely and cold. The seeds of love breed and sprout in their hearts. Can the power of love transcend worldly prejudice?
The spirit of love and rebellion connects them together, they love each other and combine, but the cruel feudal consciousness destroys their love, they turn against them and separate..."
The shock that this blockbuster film gave to the time was unprecedented. In front of several newly built theaters, countless people were crowded with a movie ticket. The screening time was scheduled from 5 am to 3 am, but it still could not be resolved. The craze did not recede until 1904. The total box office at that time had reached 350 yuan, and celebrity movies became the hottest company. Countless people waved checks to participate in the shares, but these were rejected by Yang Guang. Soon, someone found such an entry at the Emperor's New Year's New Property Office.
"In 1904, 2018, it cost 50 yuan to buy 25% of the shares of celebrity movies."
After star companies confirmed the possibility of domestic films gaining a foothold in China with their rich box office revenue, they immediately attracted a group of investors' attention to national films and established film companies one after another. By 190, +00. Investors who flocked to the film industry from various channels showed their abilities and acted on their own, and competed fiercely with each other in the general background of competing with foreign films.
After a period of chaotic development, the production industry, mainly composed of three film companies, namely stars, Lianhua and Tianyi, has experienced the ups and downs of the creation of genre films such as family ethics films, social romance films, folk legend films, and magical martial arts films. Among them, magical martial arts films subtly integrate Chinese martial arts, martial arts and film skills in Chinese opera, and mainly use the "chival spirit" in traditional Chinese morality. It once flocked to it. Most of them even spread, but it also made it become a unique "kung fu film" that later developed into a prototype.
Chinese films during this period mostly cater to the interests of urban citizens to ensure box office revenue. They promote traditional feudal morality in content, and adapt to Chinese opera and civilized opera in form to adapt to the audience's appreciation and interest. Chinese films in the pioneering period have a strong pure entertainment and pure commercial nature, but some companies have begun to study how to create new things in exchange for audience support.
Especially for celebrity companies, each new film will inevitably be a big production and will inevitably be a big seller. Not only will it be best-selling in China, but it will also be sold abroad. Driven by celebrity companies, China's cinemas began to increase rapidly, and by 1905, it had reached 5,500, with an annual income of up to 30 million yuan.
