Subtitle of this chapter: Then give up on treatment

"Mr. Griffith......"

"Please call me David!"

"Okay, David. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info May I take the liberty of asking, is there anything you have come to Mr. George Baker this time for? Yuan Yanqian pointed to the rich third generation and said, "Maybe we can help a little?" ”

And Holmes shrugged his shoulders noncommittally.

"Well...... Griffith," said Griffith, after a moment's hesitation, "we have come to seek Mr. Baker's help. ”

"Help? Help with finances? ”

Since everything has been said about this, Mr. Big Director had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes." I wanted to open a movie studio, so I ......"

Our Master Yuan suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "David, you finally understand!" ”

Then he waved his arms and said, "Those Jewish ...... in Hollywood."

Yuan Yanqian suddenly remembered that Mr. Louis-Baker was a left-wing person who "lived in the hell of capitalism and looked up to the paradise of socialism", and immediately changed to a standard leftist language.

"Well, those Jewish capitalists in Hollywood have completely ignored the innate spiritual pursuit of human beings for the sake of a little economic gain in the near future!"

He peeked in, and sure enough, he saw that Mr. Holmes also had an approving expression.

"Like all capitalists, the money-oriented producer system and the harsh contracts that exploit entertainers are like shackles and whips for slave owners, not only treating filmmakers like you as exploitative objects, but also strangling American film art little by little."

Later, these Jewish capitalists really "strangled" American films into "Leviathans" that beat the film industries of other countries. It has to be said that in some industries, especially the entertainment industry, which caters to the vulgar tastes of human beings, capitalism has its superiority.

No, it's absolutely not going to work!

When I think of the pattern of the world film industry a hundred years later, I think of the bird-like appearance of the Celestial Empire films. The directors who are known as "Wenqing" are actually neither literate nor green, and even the two third-rate drivers can actually make movies. There are also those little fresh meat, plastic faces and the sisters who "ruined the show tirelessly", our Master Yuan is going to bite the back molars.

And once a person has set a grand goal in life, then he will have a lofty sense of mission in his heart, and our Master Yuan is now a bit superb.

Damn, Lao Tzu can't sleep with those female stars in later generations, can't he still spoil the good deeds of those Jews in later generations?

So how did it break their business? There's a good candidate right in front of you.

Master Yuan, who has watched N Hollywood entertainment articles, has already thought about one of the success factors of American movies...... Well, it should be said that the first factor is its unique large studio system.

Before Hollywood dominated the world in the 80s and 90s of the 20th century, film creation around the world outside the United States implemented a "director-center" system. That is, the director is the creative subject of a film, the director controls all aspects of the film's production, and the director is also fully responsible for the finished product of the film.

But in the United States, there is still a producer at the head of the director. In fact, they are nothing more than the executors of the producer's will, the script is appointed by the producer, the actors selected are contracted by the studio, and the director himself does not even have the right to participate in editing and post-production. Only a few top-notch directors can break free from such barriers.

The most famous example is "Gone with the Wind" filmed in 1939, which was actually completed by three directors who changed hands several times. However, its style is quite uniform, the plot is very complete, and it has been a huge success at the box office.

What is the strength of the big studio system over the director-centered system?

Strong is strong...... This can prevent the director from committing a literary illness!

As soon as he thought of this answer, Yuan Yanqi, who had written an online novel in his previous life, became even more angry. Obviously, those readers have too poor knowledge literacy, too low reading taste, and are only worthy of reading brainless cool articles, how can they say that authors like those who have good writing, big brains and knowledge reserves that are often overflowing are literary youth?

"Click" ...... He seems to have really cracked his back molars.

Forget it, the rice has to be eaten in one bite. Now that he has set his mind to change the direction of American cinema and drive Jews out of the film industry, the first step is to find a way to milk David Griffith and make it an outlier in Hollywood's "director-centric" system......

No, it's absolutely not going to work!

If it really becomes a "director center" system, then what is the use of it?

Our Master Yuan was not interested in being a director in the United States in the 1920s at all, and if he wore thirty or forty years late, maybe he would still find a way to play with female stars...... Well, play loudly. Now this profession is too low, and it is completely unworthy of a time-traveler like him. So he wanted to establish a third system of filmmaking.

"Master Ball, can you help me search for ......"

He picked up the "drink" and took a sip, taking the opportunity to look at the search results and quickly think of his own words. In fact, the key to convincing this dude is why he should seek financial help.

Yuan Yanqian put down his wine glass, looked directly at Griffith, and said solemnly, "David." With all due respect, since the beginning of the film "The Party Fights Differences", your box office performance seems to be a little sluggish. Especially the last two films, what are they called......"

Miss Ji Xu glanced at "Greasy" charmingly, and said, "Mr. Yuan is talking about "True Susie" and "New England Road", right?" ”

"Yes, yes, look at my memory. But Miss Gish, your performance in it is so good, it's really amazing! ”

"How can it be as good as Mr. Yuan said?"

"Neo, please call me Neo. That's how perfect your performance is. ”

"So tired, please call me Lilian too. Your mouth is so sweet. ”

"Lilian, Lilian, why are you calling it an egg tart...... Well, what about Lillian? ”

"Tired, tired, why do you call it tired?"

They flirted so much in public with Romeo of the Three Kingdoms and Juliet of Ancient Egypt that even Holmes, who thought "so left", couldn't help but raise his fist in front of his mouth and coughed heavily.

Our Master Yuan finally came back to his senses and said, "Ah, where did I go? By the way, David, let me guess, you can't find an investor so you want to start a new business, right? ”

Director Griffith smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I can't find investors, it's just, it's just ......."

Yuan Yan cocked Erlang's legs, lit a camel, and said, "It's just that they don't want to invest in the film you want to make, isn't that so?" ”

David Griffith nodded silently.

In fact, as Master Yuan said, since "The Party Fights Differences", the "father of film" has begun to decline in his directorial career.

The production cost of "The Party Fights Different" is an unprecedented $1.9 million, you must know that this is $1.9 million in 1915! However, the box office suffered a miserable Waterloo, and even the cost was not recovered.

And what about the reasons for the failure...... Hey, it's not those three words, Wen Qing is sick!
