[Continue to the card, Na Hengyi slowly .....]

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A gong sounded in the village, and the villagers knew that it was the village chief who was beating the gong, and there must be something important to announce. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Some villagers walked out of their homes, while others stopped what they were doing and listened with their ears pricked up.

"Everyone, pay attention, the screening team is coming to the village, and if you want to watch a movie, come to the threshing floor after dark, and don't forget to bring a penny for everyone!" The village chief struck the gong and shouted loudly, and the loud voice of the village chief spread throughout the village, even startling the birds in the distance.

"Projection team" and "movie" are two novel terms, but for the villagers, they are not unfamiliar, but they are something that has been long-awaited for a long time.

As evening came, it was getting dark, but the villagers gathered at the threshing floor.

On the threshing floor, a wide white cloth with a black edge is propped up, and directly opposite the white cloth is a strange machine, which is the projector, which throws the contents of the film onto the white cloth and turns it into a moving image, a movie.

It is not the first time that the projection team has come to this village, every time the projection team comes to the village, they will be warmly welcomed by the villagers, and even the villagers will take out special products to the projection team, and they want the projection team to come to their village several times, so that the villagers can learn more about things related to the outside world.

Watching movies is not free, but the price is also very low, only 1 cent, which is equivalent to a copper coin in the old days, and farmers with more income can still easily come up with a few cents to let the whole family come to the threshing floor to watch a movie.

It was completely dark, the villagers were all in the room, the lights of the projectors came on, and the images from the film were projected on a white cloth, and then colored images appeared on the white cloth.

That's right, it is color that gets the image, and the Chinese Empire has popularized color cameras, and it is relatively simple to show color films, but it will take some time to release movies with sound.

At this time, the American film industry was just emerging, and it could only show black and white images, while the Chinese empire was already able to show color films.

In the Chinese Empire, movies have appeared for a long time, in the beginning, movies were just the entertainment of Yan Xueyi's family, in the palace of the Han Dynasty in Yuanhe City, there was a special screening room, sometimes, a large family would sit here, looking at the images of the past.

Movies are a form of mass entertainment, but also a means of publicity, and how many people have the time and energy to watch movies when people are still busy with their lives.

With the development of the Chinese Empire, the people's lives improved, and some people began to pursue more entertainment life, Yan Xueyi decided to launch the movie to enrich people's entertainment life, and at the same time increase the knowledge of farmers who have lived in the countryside for most of their lives, so that they can see the great rivers and mountains of the empire and see the great changes in the outside world.

The Years Film Group was officially established, and the film began to spread rapidly within the territory of the Chinese Empire.

Years Film Group, the royal family is the largest shareholder with technology, and the large and small nobles of the empire have invested more or less money to become small shareholders, like movies, the royal family does not need to be completely controlled, although there are big interests in the future, but this is no longer what the royal family needs.

In the city and county, the film group will establish large, medium and small cinemas, and at the town and village level, adopt the mode of open-air screening by the projection team, so that the film can be quickly integrated into people's lives.

To watch a movie in a cinema, one person needs to pay a dime, and to watch an open-air movie, one person only needs to pay a penny, which is relatively low and suitable for all classes of the empire.

In addition, VIP areas were set up in cinemas, and even wealthy people could buy their own projectors and films, and build a projection room in their own homes.

However, the film industry in the Chinese Empire was just emerging, and the source of films was a big problem, and the main films currently screened were documentaries, documenting changes in the country, or recording something important, and even so, countless people still flocked to the cinema or open-air screening to watch the film.

The film industry is just a general industry, which does not require too much control from the state or the royal family, and can be opened to the people, but an emerging industry, before seeing the prospects, businessmen will not easily invest money, and for the time being, they can only rely on the efforts of the film group to expand the film market, and after the film group has obtained a lot of profits, a large number of businessmen will enter the film industry.

In the north, the Royal Agricultural Group uses relatively little manpower, uses a large number of tractors, cultivates a large amount of land, after a year, obtains rich income, there are businessmen began to investigate, the next year, the Royal Agricultural Group again obtained rich income, two successive successes, so that many businessmen finally decided to invest money, rent wasteland at a relatively low price, use tractors to cultivate the land, and wait until the third year of harvest, many businessmen show a happy smile, I am afraid it will not take long to earn back the invested funds, The rest is pure earning.

The development of the film industry is probably similar to this matter, and the Film Group must make some achievements like the Royal Agricultural Group before more businessmen can join it.

Documentaries could not be shown all the time, so the film group set up a studio in Zhenping County, west of Longcheng, to specialize in the recording of films, and the acrobats became the first actors of the Chinese Empire, and then theatrical performers also joined the ranks.

Since ancient times, the status of singing and laughing in Chinese society is relatively low, but with the development of the times, a drama can make millions or even tens of millions of people know him, its influence will gradually increase, and its status is also improving.

The Chinese Empire will be in a state of rapid development for a long time, and the film industry cannot deviate from this theme, documentaries can mostly reflect the changes in the Chinese Empire, and the Film Group of the Years will also shoot more films that reflect progress, as for other messy things, now the practitioners in the film industry do not understand and dare not shoot them.

The only thing that is a little depressing is that the current movie is still in the silent stage, but people do not express any opinions on this kind of silent movie, but watch it with relish, coupled with the narration subtitles in the movie, it can make people clearly understand the content of the movie, for rural farmers, newspapers and movies are the only two channels for them to understand the changes in the outside world, the movie image will move, the status is higher than the newspaper, and they don't care if the movie has sound, even if there is no subtitle introduction, you can watch it carefully.
