Chapter 722 Shareholders' Meeting

"After the premiere of the sample film tomorrow, we will promote it in the newspaper as originally planned, create public opinion, and keep people who like new things looking forward to our film.

"This is not just the Daily Observer, but also the use of the newspapers in which Makht parliamentarians have invested to find a few reputable journalists or editorials to publish articles.

"When the heat is up, the company's business in Beckland will be on the right track...... My initial idea was to make a film based on Russell's for the aristocracy and the upper class, using as many well-known theatrical actors as possible, and the costumes, scenes, and props should be realistic, and not afraid to spend money.

"At the same time, we want to make a series of low-budget humorous comedies, and the main target groups are government employees, business managers, and middle- and low-class people such as skilled workers.

"Most of them have spiritual needs, but they can't afford most entertainment projects, but taking their families to watch a movie every month should be within the scope of affordability."

After all, the film industry in the United States in the past history was developed after people could not afford to enjoy high-end entertainment during the Great Depression.

In the restaurant, Abner explained to Hazel and Hugh some of his ideas for the development of the company, and as for Elaine, although she is one of the founders of the company, she will eventually return to Trier, and the affairs of Beckland have gradually been transferred to Hazel to take over.

Speaking of which, Abner had just given Herzel the extraordinary properties of the "decryption scholar" who wanted to kidnap Fanny, and in doing so, he agreed to become the manager of the film and television company in Beckland.

Considering the connections and political influence of Congressman Makht in the upper echelons of society, Abner felt that he was not at a loss.

"But if a low-budget film project is developed, will the aristocracy and business owners dislike the quality of this new form of theater?" Hugh pondered for a moment and asked, she knew very well what the virtues of nobles and rich people were.

"Both the poor and the rich will buy clothes, but the latter will not dislike their clothes because the former wears them.

"It's the same with our films, the experience is different between the two."

After all, one is filmed with a "occult camera" equivalent to an extraordinary object, and the other is a purely technological product, and the former is not comparable to the latter in terms of sound and light, sound effects, and playback environment.

Abner wasn't even going to dub those low-budget films, just silent films...... Except, of course, to free schools.

"If there is a contrast, there will be a grade...... Hugh nodded thoughtfully, understanding what Abner meant.

In fact, this kind of screening plan has another advantage, that is, it can spread the cost of films made for the common people to the aristocrats and business owners.

"We could have set the price of a ticket for a luxury theatre at £5 or £10, and the small screening halls or open curtains for the common people free of charge or for a few pence for wear and tear.

"It's a way to make money and increase your impact......

"And after the influence comes up, there will naturally be companies to advertise or sponsor."

Listening to Abner's eloquent talk, Hazel suddenly realized that what the other party said when he persuaded him to become the manager of a film and television company "helps the digestion of 'fraudsters'" may be true.

Is this legitimately swindling money from rich people? If so, aren't those luxury manufacturers taking advantage of people's vanity to "deceive"?

The thought flashed through his mind, and Hazel combined with his previous experience with Detective Moriarty, and found that the methods of some legitimate businessmen were actually no different in nature from those of scammers...... The difference is only the degree, but the core is all in the ...... "frying"? The term invented by Russell the Great is really apt...... Although he himself is the best at "frying".

Abner didn't expect that some of the "habitual" methods he casually said in his previous life would give Hézel such a big touch.

In fact, he set up a film and television company to make money, and the most important thing is to play the role of "secret master" and prepare for the ceremony of promoting "prophet" in the future.

Therefore, there must be influence, and the film must be popularized to as many people as possible.

Considering that the shooting of low-budget films may have to be in the East End, in the Factory District, and in the Bridge District to recruit group actors and rent venues, which will inevitably deal with gangsters, and Hugh, as a regular member of MI9, cannot always take care of it, and it is not convenient for Hazel to deal with this kind of thing as a rich lady, it is Eibner After thinking for a moment, he asked Hugh: "Is Caspars still imprisoned in MI9?" ”

Hugh was stunned for a moment, then remembered who Abner was asking, and said with some uncertainty: "It should still be there...... I had someone to take care of him, and it was only two or three months...... Well, there's a good chance it's going to be fine. ”

Is your "care" the original meaning? Won't the prison guards understand that they are wrong? Abner sneered, but still chose to believe Hugh, and said thoughtfully:

"Let him out, with his connections and connections in Beckland, he's a good set director...... I think he'll say yes. ”

After all, Caspers is backstage with Marich and Sharon, isn't this just a matter of the phrase "world"?

After talking about the development of the company, Abner looked at Fanny, who was a little absent-minded, and asked with concern:

"Is there any news from your house?"

Fanny barely squeezed out a smile, nodded and said:

"I just received a telegram from my family......

"The Church of the Eternal Sun has come forward to protect Johansen Fulles and has promised to waive responsibility for my grandfather's unsolicited access to witches and the creation of the Great Smog of Beckland......

"How ridiculous, it was he who framed his grandfather, and in the end he exchanged it for not holding him accountable for the non-existent crime.

"What's even more ridiculous...... My father accepted...... My uncle also accepted ......"

Fanny bit her lip unconsciously as she said this, and she was shocked by the shamelessness of the Fulice family.

After all, at the moment of Mr. Surrey's "disappearance", once the Fullies family threw out those so-called "evidence", combined with their influence, the Surrey family would be absolutely speechless, which would make the already devastated family suffer again, so they had to temporarily slip the shoes.

In the final analysis, once you tear your face with the Fulies family, the other party may be damaged, but even if the Surrey family has the support of the Steam Church, they can't bear the consequences.

Abner frowned when he heard this, and said puzzledly: "The 'Steam Church' has also given up the investigation? What a loss of an archbishop! ”

This involves the face of the church, so it can't be forgotten, right?

"It is said that an archbishop of the Church of the Eternal Sun personally took Johansen to the Church of Steam for interrogation, and the result was that although he had an affair with the ageless witch, he only instructed the other party to kill my grandfather, and Tosk's assassination had nothing to do with him.

Therefore, there is no reason for the Steam Church to trouble him anymore...... After all, my grandfather was not a member of the Steam Church......"

Fanny lowered her eyes, her tone full of resentment.

The "Heart of the Machine" still took a step back...... In this way, the influence of the Steam Church in Intis is probably much worse than that of the Eternal Sun...... Abner thought thoughtfully.

However, I remember that the intel I just read said that the Surrey family's "Know-it-all" path potion recipe should only be up to Sequence 6...... So since Mr. Surrey has nothing to do with the Church of Steam, how did he get promoted to "astronomer"?

Abner thought so, and asked so.

"My grandfather happened to have the properties and rituals of an 'astronomer' when he was a student in Lemburg, but he didn't know the recipe......

"Well, speaking of which, that's how my 'lawyer' identity comes from."
