Subtitle of this chapter: What can you do if you are unhappy? Don't say TS in the book review area, look depressed.

………………

Mr. Griffith's heart was moved when he saw this, and he had seen his wife's pregnancy, so he naturally understood what this meant.

Heck, if his female disciple was pregnant, then wouldn't there be no way to make this movie. But the abortion was too evil and blasphemous for Americans in 1920.

The old man couldn't help but let out a long sigh......

Fortunately, at this time, Miss Ji Xu also noticed his strange eyes, and immediately explained: "David, I'm losing weight." ”

"Lose weight?" He immediately understood, "Well, Lillian. You really do want to lose weight! ”

The aesthetic of 1920 was naturally different from that of a hundred years later. What he heard was that only ten years ago, the American people were still beautiful about fat. This "fat" is not plump in the eyes of the Chinese, but really fat.

For Americans in 1910, it wasn't good enough to look at anything, and the most beautiful body shape was a streamlined whale. A hundred years later, Chai Heniu is ugly in their eyes, and at a glance, they know that she is a poor family's child.

At that time, everyone in the United States was a meatless pot-bellied man and a pot-bellied girl. The awe-inspiring old John Pierpont Morgan had seven or eight courses at every meal, and breakfast alone consisted of beef, ribs, eggs, pancakes, grilled fish, bread rolls with butter and fruit with cream.

And such a gourmet meal is a sacred ritual to show success. The men have a big belly and poop, indicating that they are in the prime of life. Women are often admitted to the hospital and then die of a ruptured bladder, lung failure, an overstretched heart, and a brain stroke. It's all the result of overeating.

At that time, it was said that soaking in hot springs would stimulate appetite, so the road leading to the mineral springs and sulfur springs was congested, and the hot spring inns were full all year round, and gentlemen and ladies ate haisai while bathing. How many beauty lovers have spoiled their stomachs in order to grow fat.

One of the symptoms of overeating and bad stomach is that they love to fart, so the British with a great sense of humor ridicule them as UFA (Unite-Fart-America). Chinese can be translated like this, you, Americans, fart.

Later they chose a president who weighed up to 350 pounds, William Howard Taft. He is also the heaviest U.S. imperialist commander of all time. And the jade photos of his old man are naturally often seen in the newspapers. At this time, the aesthetics of the American people finally became a little more normal, and they found that they were not so good-looking if they were too fat.

Therefore, by 1920, handsome men and beautiful women finally did not have to overeat all day. But they didn't go crazy like they did a hundred years later, at least they didn't think that women who couldn't wear children's clothes were all ugly women who didn't exercise and didn't diet.

In fact, as long as you look at the early Hollywood actresses, then you will find that they are quite sensual, and they are definitely not the type that can't help but be weak.

For example, Marilyn Monroe's grandmother has a ...... in a white swimsuit. Not a famous photo of a dress, on which she has a small belly...... Of course, she was born as a factory worker, and her body shape is still very healthy.

Lillian Kiss is also this type of beauty, but the female characters in "Famine Orphan Girl" are all experiencing the Great Famine, how can they look like they are overnourished? So this very professional actress has been on a diet for a while.

Our Master Yuan said in an admiring tone: "Lilian has been like this since she read the script I wrote, and looking at her determination, our heroine is none other than her." ”

Mr. Griffith also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately thought of something: "You reminded me that we should start casting now, and it will take a while to lose weight." ”

Oh, these actresses are really going to starve and suffer, and they can't even eat Seres Spaghetti.

Green onion oil noodles are Yuan Yanqian's big love. He picked up his fork and rolled up the noodles as he nodded, "David, I was about to tell you this." Since Lillian is the heroine, then her sister in the play will be played by her sister Dorothy......"

"Pickup pickup!"

"Skin, you're a Maokakaka!! Master Ball, what's wrong with that? ”

"HOST, THIS SYSTEM IS JUST REMINDING YOU THAT SISTER FLOWERS WILL CAUSE YOU TO GO OVER DIRECTLY."

Hearing this, our Master Yuan didn't even eat the delicious scallion oil noodles, and asked angrily, "Master Ball, who is the special one who stipulates this?" ”

"Host, you know......"

This broken system is too wide, the head has to be managed, and J8 has to be managed, which makes it impossible for people to become masters. But what if it's not upset?

Our Master Yuan had no choice but to dispel that undesirable thoughts, and made up his mind: "I also want to recommend an actor who is my friend's sister." But she doesn't have any acting experience, David, do you think you can let her try? ”

Nonsense, he is both a screenwriter and an investor and a producer, not to mention recommending a supporting actress with no acting experience, if he insists, it is logical to choose Seet-Outlook to play the heroine.

So the film master nodded and said, "Neo, it's no problem. So ......"

He finally asks the crucial question: "Who will be the producer?" And how will my remuneration be calculated? ”

Speaking of this matter, Yuan Yanqian's expression was also solemn, the money for the filming of "Famine Orphan Girl" was not blown by the wind, part of it was the hard-earned money of his compatriots, and he couldn't let this big director who was addicted to spending money waste it.

His speech on Christmas Eve was really good, and he got to know many powerful Chinese businessmen. Twenty of the original shares of that Seris Investment Co., Ltd. were easily sold out.

The old man, who wept bitterly that night, bought five copies alone.

His name is Li Che, he is originally from Guangdong, and like Zhuang Kunlun's father, he was originally a servant. At that time, his weekly salary was 4.5 US dollars, he sent 2 US dollars to his family, saved 2 US dollars for himself, 5 cents as living expenses, and went to Sunday school every week to learn English. In this way, he saved $500 in five years and opened his first laundry, and by 1920, Mr. Lee had more than ten chain stores in New York. (Author's note: There is indeed such a person as Li Che in history.) ）

Our Master Yuan was able to get an investment dividend from the First National Bank of New York recently, and the principal was almost 100,000. So he had $200,000 on hand.

Compared with the current figure of one million dollars, there is naturally a big gap, but fortunately, making a movie is not an overnight thing, and it takes at least a month or two to prepare.

Our Master Yuan said solemnly, "Well, David. We really need to discuss these issues. ”
