Because of Arthur's strategy of low-key development, Australasia was very low-key in the first month of 1922, and there was not much news about even the National Day activities.

But this is also normal, on the National Day of a dull year, naturally there is no need to organize any military parades.

For Arthur, the most important thing at the moment was to complete the construction of the three R108 battleships as soon as possible, and to confirm the fact that Australasia had super battleships before the naval limitation treaty was concluded.

It's all about development, but what does the best development look like?

To put it bluntly, development requires a relatively stable environment. How do we create a stable environment? The best way to do this is to make your opponent unstable.

Instead of looking for opportunities, create them yourself.

Judging from the current situation, the British must support the development of Australasia, because they need to have a country in the Pacific that is confrontational with the United States, especially the premise that the United States and the island countries are allied.

The French islands in the Pacific have been sold to Australasia, and now they are looking at the mainland and Africa, so naturally they will not be nosy.

Then Australasia's only two competitors are the island nation in the north and the United States in the east.

This is also the reason why the war in the Philippines cannot end, because the United States needs a presence that can attract his attention, and the current Philippines is the best choice.

As long as the attention of the Americans is drawn, the island nation is nothing to Australasia.

The islanders' proud navy could not break through Australasia's defenses, and their army naturally did not pose any threat to Australasia.

Besides, Australasia's current status is no longer something that an island nation alone can provoke.

The close relationship between Australasia and Britain was far greater than the loose alliance of interests between the United States and the island nations.

Especially after Arthur stood up to support the United Kingdom, the British royal family and the British people were full of gratitude to Arthur, and naturally accepted this favor.

Although there are some false meanings, as long as the current Australasia does not take the initiative to provoke any country, it naturally does not need to be afraid of the covetousness of any country.

The first step in development is naturally to promote economic development.

Australasia's economy is still far from the size of the top powers, and there are many ways to drive economic development.

One of the more important and meaningful is the development of entertainment, including movies and radio.

Needless to say, the current development of film in Australasia is not an exaggeration.

In addition to the three official film studios, private film studios of various sizes are intricately intertwined, which greatly enriches the film industry in Australasia.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Propaganda, in 1921, a total of 165 films were made in Australasia, and 145 passed the review.

These films will be released on National Day and various holidays, and most of them are paid in the form of official films, except for official films.

This is actually very understandable, after all, film studios are created for profit, and if they all shoot free movies, the major film studios will not have to live.

Even if you don't consider profits, at least you have to earn back the cost, and the cost of equipment and manpower for film shooting is also a big expense.

The production of more than 100 films per year also proves the fact that the film industry in Australasia is already quite developed.

This also gave rise to the question of how to promote these released films more effectively.

After thinking about it, Arthur thought of the various film festivals that would become very famous in later generations. This not only allows the film to be judged and increased the commerciality of the film, but also increases the fame of the actors and directors who shoot the film, ensuring that the film they make is enough to make enough people to look forward to.

Of course, there is still a need for control of the movie. Actors can earn a good income, but the income must not be excessive, because it is an easy job.

There can be many high-paying jobs in Australasia, but the top ones are definitely able to make a substantial contribution to the country.

Like the soldiers, the scientific researchers, and so on.

Although entertainment is an indispensable part of people's lives, Arthur prefers that Australasia can be strictly controlled, and it is good to relax occasionally in free time, and there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

Sydney, February 1922.

"Hey, Jaime, have you heard about the Sydney Film Festival?"

"Oh my god, how could it not be? said that this time all the films shot before will be judged, this is a collision of hundreds of films, and it is really exciting to think about it. ”

"Wasn't it exciting last night?" Jaime's girlfriend asked suddenly.

"Hey, it's all exciting, it's all exciting." Jaime smiled and said quickly.

"Damn, you two guys, don't show affection in front of me, okay?" Larry, who spoke at the beginning, said with an ugly face as if he had eaten a lump of stool.

Knowing the truth that Xiu'en loves to die quickly, James and his girlfriend no longer make trouble, and quietly look forward to this film festival.

There is a first time for everything, and the first time is definitely the most exciting.

Although the front and back may be the same thing, this is like the first bite of food, and the unknown is definitely the most exciting.

After quietly sitting in their seats, the trio began to look forward to the first film festival in the history of Australasia, and even the first in the history of the world.

Thinking about the first time he could break the earth, Jaime couldn't help but compare it with his girlfriend, and suddenly found that it seemed to be quite exciting.

From the birth of sound films to the present, there are not thousands of films produced in Australasia, but at least hundreds.

Because it was the first film festival, all the films that had not participated in the awards before would be judged, which also meant that hundreds of films would compete for a few awards, and the competition was so fierce that James's girlfriend couldn't help but clench her legs.

Although there are still a lot of pirated movies at present, because there are few other entertainment items, watching movies is also an important pastime for people.

Thanks to the government's frequent free films, watching movies is not a luxury for Australasian people, but is a world leader in this regard.

The more famous lines in many movies, such as those in many patriotic movies: "If you are not willing to fight for the country, then what is the meaning of life?" It has almost become the line of many Australasian youth, and it is also their goal in the rest of their lives.

Fighting for the country, this is already the propaganda slogan of many factories. Not to mention anything else, it can indeed improve the motivation of senior workers.

On the one hand, it can promote patriotic ideas, and on the other hand, it can also improve the efficiency of the workers' work, and this trade can make the capitalists of those factories laugh out loud in the bed.

Although the current film has not been able to create the same international influence as later generations, at least the brand awareness has been played.

Australasian films are also well-known in Europe and the United States, and the occasional advertising of attractions and the number of tourists have proven their success.

This point makes many European and American countries feel envious. Needless to say, the importance of movies for cultural propaganda can even subtly affect the minds of some people.

This is no joke, especially for those teenagers, who are highly susceptible to information because they have little contact with the outside world.

For example, if Australasia promotes a certain country as evil, then in the minds of these young people, that country is evil.

Even if they come across the real news, they will seek comfort in their hearts, and then frantically look for any reason to refute the true news.

This is also the deception of people to themselves, and they are easily affected by these aspects, which is why cultural propaganda, including entertainment, is so important.

The great powers are not afraid of anything, but they are afraid of the demonstrations and protests of their own people.

Because there are a large number of opposition parties in the country, the government is not so stable.

In the face of a large number of protests, not only is the government vulnerable to impeachment, but even the opposition parties will frantically stand up and attack the government.

In particular, some capital-controlled newspapers and media outlets are desperate for the flow of news.

If there is really a business opportunity, even if the scandal of the US president is exposed, they are absolutely capable.

Of course, scandals are nothing. There are also newspapers that expose all kinds of news about the country, and many of these news are unsightly.

For the sake of the stability of the country, the public opinion machine must be in the hands of the government and Arthur.

Because public opinion can not only have an impact on the population, but also have a significant impact on the stability of the government and the country.

Why was Ireland able to gain independence from the mighty British Empire with an army of more than 10,000?

In addition to the fact that what Britain has done in Ireland is indeed outrageous, Ireland's public relations and propaganda around the world has also prompted a large number of countries and people to sympathize with Ireland.

This is a typical victory of public opinion, and the victory of public opinion and diplomacy is the ultimate victory compared to the force that costs more and loses more.

No matter how the war is fought, in the end, it will depend on diplomacy to achieve victory.

If disputes can be resolved in a more peaceful way than war, it will be worthwhile for any country.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the biggest reason why European and American films have not developed is because the current film profits are really low.

If it weren't for the free patriotic films made in Australasia that boosted the Australasian film market, I'm afraid the development of Australasian films would not have been too smooth.

The capitalists can afford to have lower incomes, and if they also take the risk of losing money, then the business is debatable.

The filming of the movie is like this, if the shooting is not good, it is really possible to lose all your money.
