Volume IV Boom 14 Films

Spending $10 on an opera was once a luxury for Situ Nan. Now sitting in a luxurious and comfortable box, you can enjoy everything you need.

Every time I sit down, I watch the wide movie curtain in front of the venue, with black and white images, no color, and occasional shaking snowflakes, and artificial dubbing, which feels like watching a yellowed ancient historical documentary.

However, history has turned back, and the current trend has not yet become history, so Situ Nan heard some laughter from the audience downstairs from time to time.

Situ Nan picked up the red wine on the coffee table and took a sip.

Situ Nan leaned on a delicate woman in his arms.

"Hee-hee." She was amused by the funny scenes of the movie, "It's funny. ”

"This Chaplin is really a master, without the cooperation of voice, he can convey rich feelings through body language, which is really amazing, and the acting technique has reached the highest level of silent film."

Situ Nan commented. I thought, the era of sound movies is coming, right? The commercialization of Hollywood films is also about to develop to a high level.

"I didn't expect you to think so highly of him." Kuzdova stared at Situ Nan with a pair of beautiful eyes, "But he often appears as a tramp and other small characters, and satirizes you big capitalists with exaggerated performances." Do you like him too? ”

"I can't talk about it. But if his movies sell well, I'll be happy to invest in him making movies. Situ Nan said lightly, thinking to himself: I don't know what happened to William Film Company in the twentieth century, that guy Delp shouldn't let himself down, right?

Coincidentally, the next second film was "La Mercide San Francisco" published by William Films in the twentieth century, which pulled back Situ Nan's heart that he wanted to leave.

"Bang bang bang", a bright drum beat, eight searchlights appear on the movie screen, cross-illuminating the modern city, and then finally the camera falls on the movie theater.

Yiqiē is very familiar, this is exactly the logo of the twentieth world Fox film company that Situ Nan used to see, but he was plagiarized by himself.

"Looks good, it's a little interesting." Situ Nan smiled slightly, sat down again, and waited for the movie to start under the service of the wine and beauty.

When Rose was making movies in Hollywood, Situ Nan once visited Ban and teased the director named Jermaine. "I wonder how Rose is now?" Situ Nan thought to himself.

The movie begins, in the vast west, desolate and silent, a beautiful woman riding a horse, strolling in the sunset, her moving eyes seem to be looking for something?

A little dazed, but with a stubbornness on his face, as if he wanted to persevere. Looking at the shadow of Rose on the movie screen, Situ Nan thought to himself: independent, proud, and seductive reverie, like a rose with thorns.

As for the plot of the story, he didn't care much about it, he was just attracted by that face. Looking at Situ Nan staring intently at the heroine on the screen, there was an indescribable fascination, and Kuzdova felt a little surprised.

However, Rose's vicissitudes of life and mature beauty in the movie are not comparable to her.

"It's so beautiful, if only I could be a movie star." Kuzdova felt a little envious in her heart, which was no different from the mentality of every woman who wants to be a heroine.

Situ Nan was silent, watching the movie, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What if, I say, I'm going to make a movie, what do you say?" Kuzdova asked cautiously, looking at Situ Nan expectantly.

Situ Nan carefully looked at this canary that had been raised by himself for several years, well, his chest bulged, the contours of his face became rounder, his eyes were softer, and his body exuded mature charm.

What a stunner!

Situ Nan swallowed his saliva, feeling a strong ** being aroused, but he was not a junior brother, so he was not so anxious.

"You want to be a movie star?" Situ Nan asked, looking at Kuzdova with a stern look, thinking of the blooming rose on the movie screen, he felt a little uncomfortable and a little at a loss.

Hearing Kuzdova's words, where is she willing to show her woman to other men to appreciate?

"No, just curious." Kuzdova lowered her head in fear, not daring to touch Situ Nan's gaze.

Situ Nan held Kuzdova's delicate chin with his hand, and carefully looked at this beautiful face, especially the slightly shy eyes were more likely to arouse the impulse of men, and they wanted to ravage her.

"It's really beautiful, it's getting more and more beautiful. But my woman can only be beautiful for me. You have to keep that in mind. Situ Nandao looked at Kuzdova domineeringly, Kuzdova's eyes dodged, like an injured white rabbit, a little worried.

"Sue me, you're too bored and want to do something else to pass the time, like making a movie, right?" Situ Nan asked.

"Hmm." Kuzdova replied in a low voice under Situ Nan's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"It's absolutely impossible to make a movie. However, for the sake of your well-behaved chronology, I give you permission to do something interesting. "Situ Nandao.

"Do what?" Kuzdova asked, somewhat delighted.

"I'll tell you later." Situ Nan smiled mysteriously and watched a movie while playing with Kuzdova's body.

"Huh-" A low moan, Kuzdova, who had been neglected for a long time, was particularly sensitive, and was gently teased by Situ Nan, and ** came up. Her soft body rubbed straight against Situ Nan, and a pair of small hands began to grope on Situ Nan's body.

The box is quiet, the sofa is large, and there is plenty of room to complete some difficult movements. The dim lighting is even more blurry and indulgent. Situ Nan's eyes were still fixed on the movie, but the movement of his hand increased, pressing Kuzdova's head to her lower abdomen.

Kuzdova is especially enthusiastic, especially active, especially. She straddled Situ Nan's lap, without a strand of white and tender breasts, blocking Situ Nan's vision.

If he can't watch movies anymore, how can he have the heart to watch movies? However, there is still a movie in Rose's mind, and he jerks forward and stabs into Kuzdova's delicate pink hole.

The audience in the downstairs hall was watching a movie zizzly, and they didn't know that right above them, a pair of men and women were fighting hand-to-hand, and the sound of the movie completely covered the slightest cry of joy in the box.

What does it feel like to be in a few hundred viewers?

It's indescribable, Situ Nan felt that his whole body was full of strength and inexhaustible strength, and when the movie ended, he reluctantly ended the battle.

The poor baby, lying on the sofa like mud, with scattered temples, a face full of peach blossoms, with a long and long breath, her pink chest is constantly rising and falling.

She was almost dead just now, and now she doesn't even have the strength to open her eyes, let alone screaming.

Situ Nan was very satisfied with the table just now, he walked on the sofa, panting like a cow, and finally vented the evil that had been accumulated from the west for the past few months.

When the movie ended, the movie theater fell silent, leaving only two gasps in the box, one thick and one thin, and the erosive smell in the air.

"Damn, it's so cool, no wonder those guys are taking women to watch movies in the box." Situ Nanhui came over and muttered while rubbing his body with a tissue.

"I love you!" Kuzdova leaned in from behind.

"What?" Situ Nan felt the softness behind him.

"I love you!" Kuzdova hugged Situ Nan's strong body tightly, and just when she saw Situ Nan turn around, she was afraid that she would be thrown aside again, like a child that no one wanted, and wanted to seize the last warmth.

"I love you, every qiē of mine is yours, only you can give me such deep joy. You know? I once thought about escaping, but every time I couldn't bear this unforgettable feeling. ”

Kuzdova's slightly crying voice made Situ Nan's heart tremble slightly. "Every time I'm alone in front of an empty room, I always feel scared. I'm still scared of this feeling, but you're always not around, what should I do? What should I do? ”

Situ Nan's heart was a little heavy, and he was hit by Kuzdova's strong emotional counterattack. After a while, when Kuzdova's voice weakened, he comforted: "I will come to New York more often in the future to accompany you." Also, if you're bored, go get a job, right? ”

"Work?" Kuzdova's eyes lit up, a little curious and excited. "What do you do then?"

"Announcer!"

"What for?"

"Singing, bragging, and farting, specifically to kill boredom."

"Hmm. Okay, sounds good. ”

There was no radio station in New York, but it was soon there, and Stuart Nan got inspiration from Kuzdova??????

Coming out of the movie theater, Situ Nan couldn't help but reminisce about what happened in the movie theater, feeling as if he had missed something.

Kuzdova leaned on Situ Nan's shoulder, looked at the bustling Broadway outside the car window, and thought that she was about to get out of the "little golden cage" on the Hudson River, and her heart was a little excited.

Situ Nan closed his eyes and recuperated, not paying attention to the outside. He just remembered that now was the time when sound movies were about to rise, but the big American film companies were unwilling to refuse to try sound movies in order to damage the silent film market, until six years later, a small film company on the verge of bankruptcy made the decision to try sound films, and the result was an instant hit, and the company grew and became a Hollywood movie giant - Warner Bros.

Within a few days, Situ Nan got information from major American film companies.

William Street, New York, is less than half a block away from the famous Wall Street.

A car pulled up in front of William's company, an 18-storey, less than 5,000-square-meter building in this bustling metropolis that can only be described as ordinary.

"This is the heart of the William Consortium! The controllers, such as Wells Fargo, Robles Securities, Occidental Petroleum, Bethlehem United Steel Company, and Meihua Company, are inconspicuous.

Although the 50-storey Metropolitan Insurance Tower on Broadway not far away is more impressive, no one who knows the inside story dares to ignore him. ”

He Yongyuan got out of the car, tidied up his suit, tried to make himself look energetic, and then walked in with high spirits, until the chairman's office on the top floor.

"Young master, this is the information of Warner Bros. Pictures. There is also a case about sound films, which are also in it. He Yongyuan said.

Situ Nan stood in front of the window, looking in the direction of Broadway in the distance, and did not turn around. "Let's talk about it!"

"Harry of Warner Bros. Pictures? Warner, Albert? Warner, Sam? Warner & Jack? The Warner Brothers, all Jews, immigrated to the United States from Poland more than 20 years ago, began to sound movies in the coal mines of Ohio, and after saving money, they built a five-cent movie theater in the city and began to run a movie theater.

In 1903, Warner Bros. Pictures was established to distribute films, covering major states such as Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio in the east. Since the year before, they have tried to make their own films, set up a film company in Hollywood, and made a few small films, but the results are not very good.

But Warner Bros. has big ambitions to be the nation's No. 1 studio, MGM, Paramount, and our Twentieth Century William. Harry and Albert, who are in charge of finance in New York, are looking for Wall Street investors. He Yongyuan said in one breath.

"Did they succeed?" Situ Nan asked.

"Nope." He Yongyuan shook his head, "Do you want to, young master?" ”

The current Warner Company is just a small person, and it doesn't cost a lot of money to invest a little. Now that you've come across it, let's do it!

Situ Nan thought.

"That's right. Find a chance to talk to them! However, it cannot be less than one-third of the shares. He turned back and commanded.

"What about sound films?" Situ Nan asked.

"There are already some companies in sound movies that have been successful in real years, but no real sound film has been made by any company. The main reason is that the cost is too high, and there are also high royalties to be paid. He Yongyuan said.

"Is it Edison's old man?" Situ Nan asked. He seemed to remember that the patent was nested in the hands of Addison. I don't know if he invented it, but this guy is an authentic patent controller!

"That's right." He Yongyuan nodded. "Now that sound film technology is in the hands of Edison and General Electric's Western Electric Company, other companies are not so easy to talk about, except for the National First Film Company they founded, which has the opportunity to adopt this technology."

"That's a problem." Situ Nan groaned. Addison's sound film technology is only rudimentary, and further research is needed to commercialize it. Well, I still have a chance to drink the first soup.

Thinking about this, Situ Nan took out his notebook and wrote it down. "It's a very important technology, and I remember that most of the film companies were Kodak's, so you can go back and contact Kodak and ask them to work with William University on sound film technology."

"Nikolai? Stella? He Yongyuan immediately reacted.

"Clever! If he could beat Edison, that guy would definitely not let go of such an opportunity. Situ Nan smiled and nodded.

"And let William Pictures and Cummins Electric also get involved. In short, if we want to defeat General Electric and Edison, the film market is the first battle, and we must not lose. ”

"Okay. I know what to do. He Yongyuan understood. Secretly admired Situ Nan's ambition, he not only had to compete with Standard Oil in the oil industry, but also competed with General Electric in electrical.

Although Hollywood is the largest and almost only film base in the United States, it originated in New York, and the film market in New York is much more competitive than Los Angeles.

Noisy Broadway with movie theaters. In addition to the endless stream of audiences, there are also countless film businessmen.

Harry sat in a café, looking at the bustling Broadway outside, a little anticipatory and a little nervous.

The film industry has a lot of prospects, but the resources are concentrated in the hands of those big companies.

Warner Pictures is currently a film chain company consisting of several movie theaters in New York and Pittsburgh, but if they want to become a giant in the film industry, they still need to develop upstream film production, so they opened a studio in Hollywood three years ago. It's a pity that I can't invite celebrities, so I can only make some small things, and I can't become a climate.

If Warner wants to develop, it must obtain new investment, otherwise it may miss the development opportunity by relying on its own original accumulation.

This time, he came to consult with the banker, who was said to be very capable, on behalf of the hopes of the four brothers. He had already found a lot of investors, but unfortunately there were few responses. Be sure to seize your chance this time!

Harry thought silently as he sipped his coffee.

"Mr. Warner?" A yellow man walked in front of Harry.

Dressed in a neat suit, meticulously groomed with hair, and with a confident smile, he seems to be a well-educated and successful person. Harry reacted immediately.

"You are?"

"You can call me Mr. Ho. Something unexpected? He Yongyuan sat down and looked at Harry, who was a little stunned, on the other side, with interest? Warner.

Harry was indeed a little surprised, he didn't expect that his Jewish banker would find a yellow investor. But as long as you have money, what is it?

"Hello, Mr. Ho! Nice to meet you. Harry immediately regained his composure.

"Hmm." He Yongyuan nodded a little reservedly and said straight to the point, "I have seen your financing plan, and it is generally fine." It's just—"

"Just what?" Harry nervously looked at the smart-looking yellow man across from him.

"It's just that the shares are too small! Warner's total assets are $3 million, and I can give up $1.8 million, but I want a 51% stake. If not, then 1.5 million, 50%. ”

He Yongyuan said decisively, with a resolute look.

"Sir, this doesn't make sense!" Seeing that the other party was about to take half of the Warner Bros. at once, Harry immediately objected, "20% at most!" ”

"Then you don't have to talk about it, do you?" He Yongyuan spread out his hand, looked regretful, smiled, put on his hat, and was about to leave.

"Wait-" Harry was in a hurry, how could the financing he had finally gotten made it fly away? "This matter is serious, I have to go back and discuss it before I can reply."

Harry said with a frown.

"How long?" He Yongyuan twitched his eyebrows and asked, as if he was very impatient.

"A month." Harry replied.

"It's too long! Let's do it for a week! He Yongyuan shook his head. After a week of no reply, I went to another company. ”

He Yongyuan nodded at Harry after speaking, got up and left.

"Damn it!" This guy is too domineering, and he didn't have time to use his negotiation skills that he had been practicing for a long time, and he was crushed by his momentum from the beginning.

Harry scolded in his heart as he looked at the background of He Yongyuan's departure, and stomped his feet in anger. There was still a standard smile on his face at the moment

(Ask for a ticket!) Strive for another shift in the evening! It's going to be later, though. ）
