After all, in Zhang Junyi's impression, there is not much memory of this Hollywood big man who has only been in charge for a few years.

The deepest impression of Zhang Junyi of the Twentieth Century Fox Film Company is Murdoch, the head of the film company a few years later.

Under Allen's introduction, Zhang Junyi of course said that the head of the Twentieth Century Fox Film Company in front of him, Little Alain? Ryder's enthusiasm has risen to a higher level, after all, no matter how much Twentieth Century Fox Films will change hands in the next few years, but now little Alain? Ryder is also the head of a 'Seven' film company, and for the current Zhang Junyi, it is very important to be able to make friends with the head of a 'Seven' film company.

Although he has abundant funds in his hands, if he wants to completely open the door to Hollywood, it will not work without a certain number of connections, although Zhang Junyi doesn't know that Xiao Alan appears here? Ryder is because Bush Sr. and others deliberately arranged it because it was just a coincidence, anyway, today Zhang Junyi can recognize the head of a 'seven' level film company, which is definitely not a big surprise.

In and little Alain? During Ryder's initial greetings, Zhang Junyi also recalled the situation related to the Twentieth Century Fox Film Company in his previous life.

In 1935, Twentieth Century Film and Fox announced the merger, and this new company was the last major Hollywood company to be founded.

On May 31, 1935, the twentieth century merged the troubled Fox, a rat-eat-elephant deal because Fox had more than 500 movie theaters alone. Darryl? Zanuk immediately set about signing several promising rising stars, including Thierry Henry? Fonda and Betty? Garbo, soon, dug out a cash cow, child star Xiulan? Temple.

By the time of World War II, relying on these stars, musicals, and biopics, Fox had become the most profitable company in Hollywood, with representative works such as "Gentlemen's Agreement", "Flying Machine" and "Poison Dragon Pool".

After World War II, moviegoers began to churn, and the rise of television also dealt a big blow to the film industry. Twentieth Century Fox wanted to survive by increasing the number of movie theaters, but the court ruled that the big distribution companies had to separate from the projection industry, and the company lost half of its movie theaters. In the fifties, Twentieth Century Fox pinned its hopes on new technologies such as the super-large screen and stereoscopic cinema.

The new technology did attract audiences at first, but by 1956, the box office began to ebb again. Zanuk announced his retirement due to an affair. In the early sixties, Twentieth Century Fox was in trouble, mainly because he spent too much money on the film "Cleopatra", which included the female lead actress Elizabeth? Taylor's salary is $1 million, but the film is not doing well at the box office.

After that, Darryl? Zanuk returned to the company, and the old studio regained its status as a major studio with newsreels and some low-budget but popular films, as well as the highest-grossing film of all time, The Sound of Music.

From 1969 to 1971, Darryl? Zanuk's last three years at Twentieth Century Fox were unsuccessful, but his successor, Alain Jr.? Ryder adjusted the company's direction in time and decided to make films for younger audiences, resulting in classics like the Star Wars trilogy, as well as the biopic General Patton.

It wasn't until two years after the memory of Zhang Junyi's previous life that Rupert, a media magnate from Australia? Murdoch from Mark? Richie and Marvin? Davis bought Twentieth Century Fox, and Twentieth Century Fox was reborn in the hands of future media mogul Murdoch.

Although for little Alain? Ryder was not very impressed, but as the two talked, Zhang Junyi knew that he could become the head of a Hollywood 'seven' level, little Alan? Ryder's Flat is not Gade.

It's no wonder that if you want to become the head of one of Hollywood's top film companies, if little Alain? It is absolutely impossible for Ryder to have a certain amount of real talent, and it is absolutely impossible to say that Zhang Junyi was still influenced by the 'empiricism' of the fast food literature on the starting point novel online in his previous life, and felt that in addition to the pig's feet with the aura of a pig's foot, the business level of some so-called 'elites' who can't remember their names is also average.

But with the small talk between the two about the film industry, Zhang Junyi finally realized that any person who can become a Hollywood 'Big Seven' level leader should not be underestimated.

For Zhang Junyi's intentional friendship, as the current head of Twentieth Century Fox, Alan Jr.? Ryder is also happy to see it, after all, in today's world, with the increasing amount of money required for film shooting, even the top film companies such as Hollywood's 'Big Seven' cannot be ignored by any wealthy man with a lot of money.

Although Zhang Junyi, who is standing in front of him at the moment, looks so young and incredible, and is obviously an Asian in terms of appearance and skin color, but little Alain? Ryder doesn't care about that, little Alain? All Ryder cares about is Zhang Junyi's net worth and his 'enthusiasm' for the film industry, as long as Zhang Junyi occupies these two things, everyone will have the possibility of cooperation in the future.

In turn, Zhang Junyi is the same, Zhang Junyi doesn't care about little Alan? In Ryder's future memory, why did Murdoch disappear into the realm of Hollywood since Murdoch took over Twentieth Century Fox, as long as little Alain is now? Ryder is the head of Hollywood's 'Big Seven' studios, so he is the network he desperately needs right now, not to mention that he has a "Home Alone" movie waiting to be released in the near future.

For Zhang Junyi, can he now be strong to little Alain? Ryder, the head of a Hollywood 'Big Seven' film company, is absolutely as timely and critical as walking in the desert and meeting an oasis.

Therefore, under the condition that the two of them have a concubine, they chatted more and more speculatively, and after the initial greetings, the two even talked about the centennial journey of film as the "seventh art" since the birth of film in 1895.

"Zhang, I think that during this period, whether it is the exaggerated transformation of German Expressionism, or the avant-garde poetry of the French New Wave, whether it is the authenticity and simplicity of Italian neorealism, or the rational radicalism of the Montage School of the former Soviet Union, they have brought a variety of aesthetic perceptions and spiritual experiences to film audiences all over the world, and as the most important and influential Hollywood film in the world cinema, it is known for flaunting the perfect combination of art and technology. For a long time, the film industry, as a pillar industry of the United States, is based on its strong production system, guaranteed by an absolute majority of market shares, and used unified and distinct values as a propaganda medium, so I think that in a certain sense, Hollywood determines the progress trajectory and development direction of world films! "Little Alain? Ryder said with some excitement.

"Mr. Ryder, I basically agree with your point of view, otherwise I would not have left my property in Xiangjiang and crossed the ocean to the United States!" Zhang Junyi nodded in agreement.

"And I think the development of Hollywood cinema is closely related to the development of modern scientific concepts. Since its inception, Hollywood films have established a tradition of technocracy, and every technological storm and innovation will bring a qualitative leap to films in different periods. The birth of the first sound film "The Jazz Singer" made the film truly a new art form that can combine sound and picture, and the first color film "Flashy World" came out, which made the film cross the boundary and gap from black and white to color, which is not only a visual progress, but also an aesthetic breakthrough. β€œ

Halfway through his speech, Zhang Junyi took a sip of champagne in his glass before continuing: "With the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, the latest and most advanced technology is always reflected in Hollywood movies for the first time. In the initial foundation period of Hollywood films, Edison's series of inventions on film equipment laid the foundation for technological innovation for the development of Hollywood films, and his invention of the "movie sight glass" made "watching movies" possible for the first time. After him, the LumiΓ¨re brothers of France invented the "moving cinema machine", which turned "making movies" and "showing movies" from dreams into reality. In July 1928, when Hollywood films were in their heyday, New York premiered the world's first feature film with sound dialogue "New York Lights" shot by Warners; In June 1935, Lei Dianhua Company released the world's first color feature film "Flashy World"; Later, in 1953, 20th Century Fox produced the first widescreen system feature film, The Holy Robe. These scientific and technological means used to expand the scope of human hearing and hearing have greatly extended the field of human perception. After going through the depression of the fifties and sixties to compete with television, cinema finally got rid of the shadow of television and really found a development path suitable for its own aesthetic characteristics, which is the result of scientific and technological progress. Since then, studios have no longer sought breakthroughs in projection equipment and the production of television films, but have used the revolution in audiovisual language as a more novel means of communication to confront the small screen. Since then, the audiovisual revolution has expanded the scope of film expression, and of course, the surge in profits with large returns from large investments has also given unprecedented impetus to the giant industry of Hollywood. β€œ

Regarding Zhang Junyi's opinion, it can be said that it happened to scratch Xiao Alain? Ryder's itch, after all, little Alain? Ryder is a staunch supporter of profits that bring big returns on big investments.

Little Alain? Ryder happily agreed: "That's right, that's why the birth of Fox "Star Wars" in the twentieth century, and I think the future will definitely be a box office bomb" style "blockbuster era", "Star Wars" is with lifelike character restoration, vivid modeling design, vivid analog sound effects, etc. In the future, the innovation of film technology will also be more and more powerful in Hollywood movies! β€œ

"That's right, with the progress of the times, the innovation of film technology is very important, of course, in addition to the innovation of film technology, I think the innovation of film genre is also very important, the formation and glory of genre films began in the thirties and forties of classic Hollywood, including such as Westerns, robber films, comedies, song and dance films, etc. During this period, studios have shifted to typed production. At a time when "standardization" has become a common production model pursued by Hollywood, the production and production of films is more like a business chase than an aesthetic breakthrough. From the narrative conception to the release and screening, it is the result of close coordination with the audience, rather than being influenced by the director's personal value orientation. Although this restricts the breadth and depth of some directors' personal creations to a certain extent, it can also ensure that the film achieves a relatively stable commercial "success", which is crucial for the industrial system that has just been formed in Hollywood at that time. In Hollywood, creative filmmaking is a form of expression that satisfies both the aesthetic requirements of the producer and the audience's expectations, thus successfully repeatedly practicing and establishing a normalized "routine". β€œ

And in the above sense, the innovation of genre films lies in the genre that extends from the genre, which can be called a subgenre or a mixture of genres. For example, science fiction movies were born out of horror movies, and disaster movies were born out of science fiction films. At the same time, these subgenres can create and open up new performance space on the basis of the original genre in the era of the decline of the original genre, and with the increasing demand of the audience, the boundaries between genres and genres are becoming more and more blurred, and the definition methods are becoming more and more complex, and even super-genre films are gradually produced. Zhang Junyi also expressed his views from time to time.

For Zhang Junyi to have such a unique insight into the field of film at such a young age, to be honest, little Alain? Ryder was also quite surprised.

Actually, little Alain? What Ryder never knew was that Zhang Junyi's views were copied from the bombardment of the Internet in his previous life.21 After all, Zhang Junyi had received memories of the life experience of a film professional in the 21st century.

For this kind of professional knowledge learned in professional colleges in the previous life, in the 80s of this life, Zhang Junyi is absolutely the first to say.

Of course, there is also Zhang Junyi in this, according to Little Alan? Ryder's preferences are specifically told to him, after all, if Zhang Junyi wants to effectively increase the friendship between the two through the first meeting, it is impossible without certain means, not to mention, Zhang Junyi and the fact that "Home Alone" is ready to be released have to be asked by others.

That's it, Zhang Junyi and Little Alain? Ryder then talked about the Hollywood film industry, the innovation of film aesthetics, the innovation of the film industry, and other related topics, which were really quite speculative.

Until the end, on the question of the release of the movie in Zhang Junyi's hands, little Alan? Ryder also promised to wait until the finished film came out, little Alain? Ryder would personally receive Zhang Junyi at Twentieth Century Fox.
