Chapter 180: Reporter
The U.S. film industry has had a hard time lately.
Of course......
This is sad compared to their own before, and Hollywood is still the center of world cinema now.
As for the reason for this sadness.
First, of course, it is the implementation of the anti-film industry monopoly law promulgated by the United States mentioned earlier.
The main blow to this is the eight major film companies in the United States.
The second is the rise of the television industry.
After World War II, American television technology developed rapidly, especially in the past two years, and great progress was made in color picture tubes.
The already mature black-and-white TV business has taken away the entertainment time of many Americans.
Naturally, the number of moviegoers has decreased dramatically.
The combination of these two factors has contributed to the continued depression of the American film industry.
Therefore, the eight major film companies in the United States have stepped up their own technological innovation and the development of overseas markets.
It was against this backdrop that Schoolas's voyage around the world took shape.
In fact, widescreen movies were tried long before the invention of anamorphic lenses in the twenties.
However, the so-called widescreen is shot with three cameras at the same time, and then the picture is projected by three projectors at the same time.
As a result, the natural synchronization rate is extremely poor, and the picture is severely fragmented.
Therefore, the effect is also extremely unsatisfactory, and the subsequent research ended without a problem.
For twenty years, no one studied widescreen cinema.
Until recently, Paramount, which also belongs to the eight major film companies, began to focus on widescreen movies again out of technological innovation.
But the direction of their research is the occlusion method.
To put it simply, it is to cover part of the top and bottom of the film to achieve the visual effect of forming a widescreen scale.
As a result, the effect is there, but the picture quality is poor.
Twentieth Century Fox, which is also a competitor, naturally noticed the opponent's movements, and was not far behind in researching widescreen films.
Then someone on the technical team remembered the drunk man in Cannes and the patent in his hand.
It was only when they arrived in France that they found that the patent had already been preempted.
So there is the current scene.
In fact, according to Sguras, a simple optical anamorphic lens does not involve high precision or high technology, and they have already made it on the Fox side, but due to the relationship between the Paris Convention and the Paris Convention, it must be patented before it can be used.
It's a bit of a hard time.
If it weren't for the key points of technology being stuck in someone's hands, his trip around the world would definitely not have ended up in Xiangjiang.
In his words, there was a bit of resentment.
Anyway, after a period of 'cordial and friendly' conversations, the two sides decided that everyone would go to the Daguan studio tomorrow to watch the 'silent' film, and then they broke up.
Well......
Mr. Frostas, who had just gotten off the plane, didn't have to suffer much from jet lag, but he still needed a good rest.
After Yang Qiu said goodbye, he went down to the first floor of the hotel alone, and just passed through the hotel lobby to prepare to go out.
A young man suddenly ran in front of him.
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, can I do an interview with you?" the other party asked with a wink of hope in his eyes.
It's a little familiar!
Yang Qiu frowned and thought about it, then suddenly smiled: "Aren't you the reporter who just followed Brother Yi Wen, called ...... It's called Ah Zhan, and so are you?"
"Yes, Mr. Yang has a good memory. Ah Chan said with some flattery.
"It's only been less than an hour, so it's a good memory. Yang Qiu teased, pondered twice, and replied: "But as for the interview, I may not have time in the next few days." β
"When are you free? I can wait. β
"At least ......" Yang Qiu paused, raised his hand and pointed upstairs, and said with a smile: "At least after Mr. Frostas leaves Xiangjiang." β
"Alright, Mr. Yang, that's it. β
"Okay. β
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Yang, this is my business card. The young man casually took out a card from his pocket, held it between his hands and handed it over: "If Mr. Yang has something to find me, you can call this number." β
"Okay. β
"Uh...... , Mr. Yang, don't you have a business card?" Seeing Yang Qiu's indifferent face, the young man asked a little embarrassed.
Glancing at the business card in his hand, Yang Qiu smiled and said, "I really haven't made this thing, but if you want my phone number, well, do you have a pen? Give me another business card and I'll write it on it." β
"Yes, yes, wait. β
Seeing the guy who got the phone number leaving happily, Yang Qiu smiled to himself, picked up the business card in his hand and took a look.
'-He Guanzhuan-Reporter-Tel: 64......'
Ha!
Interesting!
It's really interesting!
While thinking that some people were really fateful, Yang Qiu also rushed home. On the way, I passed a newsstand and bought a few newspapers.
It's still a walk and a look at it all the way.
"Golden Harvest Huangmei Opera's new masterpiece is grandly released today - Cheng Pao"
"Strange Huangmei, the new song far surpasses - Overseas Chinese Daily"
"On the Viewing Time of Huangmei Tune's New Drama - Xiangjiang Daily"
"Produced by Golden Harvest, it must be a high-quality ββSing Tao Daily"
ββ¦β¦β
Wang Tianlin's twists and turns were finally released, but Yang Qiu did not interfere in the publicity planning and distribution of this movie.
It was handed over to Zou Dingxin to deal with it.
As Zou Dingxin, who has been in the newspaper industry for a long time, he also knows the importance of newspaper publicity, and has found a lot of connections to advertise a lot.
It's just that the slogan of 'produced by Golden Harvest, must be a high-quality product' made Yang Qiu, who was in a trance, feel weird for a while.
The treatment I got at Jinguo Cinema this time was not as good as it was when it was released last time.
The box office pre-sale that was planned to come again was directly cut by Jin Guo on the grounds of safety.
As for the activity of buying tickets and giving away tickets, there is no mention of it.
Even the release time of the film was negotiated many times before I reluctantly agreed to be screened for ten consecutive days.
Jin Guo doesn't know how popular Huangmei Opera is now......
Apparently not.
Yang Qiu passed by Jordan Road just now, but he saw a long queue at the door of the Happy Theater from a distance. has the mass foundation laid by the first Huangmei Opera of Golden Harvest, there is no reason why the results of the second part will be poor.
It can only be said that these theaters have a problem with gluttony again!
And the taste is still ugly.
After we finish the set, it's time to think about the theater, Yang Qiu pondered carefully in his heart, and slowly paced home.
It's just that this Golden Harvest's theater chain will be different!
