Chapter 145: When Fate Knocks on the Door!
In 1829, the famous Belgian physicist proposed the "Visual Persistence Principle", and made a magic disk based on this principle, marking the beginning of the scientific experiment stage of the film.
In 1834, the American Horner's experiment with the "movable optic disk" was successful.
With the advancement of photographic technology, photosensitive materials are constantly updated, just like Edison's invention of the electric lamp, the initial use of electric light materials can only support lighting for less than a few hours, the successive progress of photosensitive materials has made photographic technology take off, and the concept of "sports photo" was born.
In 1853, General von Uchoti Oss of Austria used slide lanterns to show original cartoons based on these inventions.
In 1872, someone argued whether horses were free on all fours when they were running or whether they always had one foot on the ground, and asked Edward Mubridge, a photographer in San Francisco at that time, to verify that after several years of preparation, Edward used 24 cameras to take photos of the decomposition of the galloping horse, proving that the horse always had one foot on the ground when running.
Inspired by Edward Mubridge, in 1882, the French physiologist Marais improved the method of continuous photography, invented the "photographic gun", and made the "moving negative continuous camera" based on the "rotating camera" invented by another inventor.
Between 1888 and 1895, there were experiments with cameras and projectors in all Western countries, and the Frenchman Renault experimented with the "optical movie machine", which was used to shoot the world's first animated film "A Delicious Beer".
In 1895, the French brothers Auguste Lumière and Louis Lumière combined with Edison's invention to develop a moving camera, which could shoot and show at a speed of 16 frames per second, and the world's first film "The Gate of the Lumière Factory" was born, which caused a sensation in Paris.
DevelopmentIn 1912, the film developed rapidly from the invention to the practical and sought after by the people.
Spanning 100 years! Gathering the wisdom of inventors from all over the world, it took countless hours and painstaking efforts to make the film develop to its infancy.
At the end of 1930, most of the films were still black and white silent films, without sound, because of the problem of the camera mechanism, the flickering between the pictures was extremely easy to cause eye fatigue, and the black and white silent film era was also known as the "silver screen age", because the curtains at that time were almost always in a silver-white state. The most iconic works of the silent film era are still talked about today, and Charlie Chaplin has become the most representative actor of that era.
Even if the film did not have Hollywood special effects, no sound or even no color, it was a novel and popular art at that time.
In this world, Harvey shortened the time of the birth of the film, and the important knowledge developed by the earth for hundreds of years combined with the illusion crystal of this world in his hands to give birth to the photographic crystal, not only that, but the phantom of "The Count of Monte Cristo" Harvey also used the essence of the film history precipitated in the next hundred years, and the shooting concept that has been studied by countless films and countless directors is the "lens art".
Even if "The Count of Monte Cristo" is put into modern times, it still has the quality to stand out among many period dramas in Hollywood.
The Count of Monte Cristo film is a product that does not conform to this era, and it is a work that can only be shot when film technology is approaching maturity.
The movie picture is clearer than Blu-ray, with vivid colors, music that conforms to the time, and well-honed photography technology, comparable to Hollywood-level special effects, and advanced photography concepts.
The world's car technology has just started, and it still uses steam technology, and "The Count of Monte Cristo" is like a Lamborghini suddenly breaking into this era, the technology and style are completely different from the current car technology, but "The Count of Monte Cristo" is still the first work in this field.
For the audience of this world, this is tantamount to a storm of destruction of sight, hearing, senses, and by extension, thinking!
······
Even the opening of a movie, which is normal in Harvey's eyes, is an extremely shocking picture in front of the eyes of the cinema audience at this time.
They "really" saw the sea! I saw the endless blue ocean in a movie theater! Hearing the sound of the waves, the projection screen is like opening the door to another world, and they see it all with a strange vision. Some viewers who watched the promotional video of "The Count of Monte Cristo" were excited to stand up, and they relived the emotion of that time from this picture.
The auditorium remained subtly quiet, and all the attention of the audience was taken away by the film at first glance, and the sleepiness of the otherwise bored audience was swept away, and they sat up straight, tilting their heads and gazing curiously at the images projected by the curtain.
The movie is still very long, very long, and it is not enough to show all the content in those few pictures.
When the audience's attention is taken away by the film "The Count of Monte Cristo", by the story in it, by the bright and colorful pictures or melodious music, everything is irretrievable, and everything is just the beginning.
Movies can be divided into many things, including pictures, colors, music, shots, special effects, actors, plots, etc., in other words, movies are all the above combined performance, and attention is taken away by one of them, like being caught in a whirlpool, sinking into the deep sea that twists everything together, especially for those viewers who don't know what movies are, it has a more fatal attraction.
In the cinema, the audience forgets about the loss of time, abandons the complicated ideas of the outside world, and the mood is up and down with the experience of the Count of Monte Cristo.
The Count of Monte Cristo prepares for his own good life, and viewers who have read the novel are worried about what will happen to him in the future.
The Count of Monte Cristo was taken away by the guards, and the audience wept even more tears when he said comforting words to his fiancée Mercertes before parting, knowing that this was almost the "goodbye" between the Count of Monte Cristo and Mercertes.
······
Harvey and his entourage sat in the exclusive VIP room, and William, who had watched the "Count of Monte Cristo" movie for the third time, suddenly said: "It's a pity that Mr. Griffin didn't come!" ”
Jared, who was sitting on the sofa, stared at the movie, and replied while touching the fruit on the table with both hands: "I can't think of why he refused, this is a good opportunity to see the world, do you know why?" ”
"You think everyone is like you, and Mr. Griffin is one of the highest musicians in the Kingdom." Harvey chuckled.
Maxwell replied with a bow, "I talked to Griffin that he was going to prepare for the concert in three months' time, and he said that he had permission from Mr. Harvey to give a recital with the scores from The Count of Monte Cristo, and he was in a frenzy about the music, saying that it would change the whole music industry, and I don't know if he was joking." ”
William closed his eyes, clasped his hands and nodded slightly: "I understand." ”
"Ahh Jared answered, as if he understood something.
The screen of the film is projecting the plot of the Count of Monte Cristo in prison in despair, and Jared, who has seen it several times, knows that the first peak of the film's plot will follow, and there will be a completely different soundtrack.
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony – Symphony of Destiny
Piano music with violin accompaniment.
When fate knocks!
