Chapter 7 The tube is too wide

Subtitle of this chapter: So what if you are unhappy? Don’t talk about Ts in the book review area, and look disgusting.

……………………

Mr. Griffith felt aroused when he saw this. He had also seen his wife's pregnancy-time person, so he naturally understood what this meant.

Oh, if my female disciple was pregnant, wouldn’t she be able to make this movie? But the abortion was too evil and blasphemous for Americans in 1920.

He couldn't help but sigh...

Fortunately, Miss Jish also noticed his strange eyes at this time and immediately explained: "David, I'm losing weight."

"Lose weight?" He immediately understood, "Well, Lilian. You really want to lose weight!"

The aesthetics of 1920 are naturally different from those a hundred years later. What I heard is that the American people regarded fat as beauty only ten years ago. This "fat" is not the plumpness in the eyes of Chinese people, but the real obesity.

For Americans in 1910, they were not good-looking enough to grow up, and their most beautiful body shape was like a whale. Chai Heniu, a hundred years later, was ugly in their eyes, and she knew that she was a child from a poor family at a glance.

At that time, everyone in the United States was a big belly man and a big belly girl who was full of meat. The awe-inspiring old John Pierpont Morgan had to eat seven or eight dishes at each meal. The breakfast was for beef, ribs, eggs, pancakes, grilled fish, bread rolls with butter and fruit and cream.

Such gourmet meals are a sacred ritual that shows success. Men with big belly show that they are in their prime. Women are often sent to hospitals and die of bladder rupture, lung failure, excessive heart burden and brain stroke. This is all caused by overeating.

At that time, there was a saying that soaking in hot springs can promote appetite, so the road to mineral springs and sulfur springs is crowded, and hot spring hotels are full all year round. Gentlemen and ladies eat sauna while taking a bath. In order to gain weight, many beauty lovers have damaged their stomachs.

One of the symptoms of excessive diet and poor stomach is that they love to fart, so the British who have a very humorous sense of laughter at them as ufa (unite-fart-america). You can translate this in Chinese, you, Americans, fart.

Later they chose a president weighing up to 350 pounds, William Howard Taft. He was also the heaviest commander of the American imperial court ever. His photos of the old man were naturally often seen in newspapers. At this time, the aesthetic view of the American people finally became a little normal, and they found that they were not that good-looking if they were too fat.

Therefore, by 1920, handsome men and beautiful women finally didn't have to overeat all day. However, they were not as obsessed as they were a hundred years later. At least they wouldn't think that women who could not wear children's clothing were all ugly women who did not exercise or diet.

In fact, just look at the early Hollywood actresses and you will find that they are all quite fleshy and are definitely not the kind of weak.

For example, Grandma Marilyn Monroe has a famous photo of wearing a white swimsuit...not a skirt, but she has a belly on it... Of course, she is a female factory worker and is still very healthy.

Lilian Gish is also a beauty of this type, but the female characters in "The Lonely of Famine" are all experiencing a great famine. How can they look like they are so round and over-nutrition? So this professional actress with a very professional spirit has been on a diet for a while.

Our Master Yuan said in admiration: "Lilian has started like this since she read the script I wrote. Judging from her determination, it is her that our heroine."

Mr. Griffith also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately thought of something and said: "You reminded me that we should start casting now, and it will always take some time to lose weight."

Oh, these actresses are really hungry and suffering, and they can't even eat seresspaghetti.

Noodle mixed with scallion oil is Yuan Yanshu's great love. He picked up the fork and rolled up the noodles, and nodded and said, "David, I'm about to tell you about this. Since Lilian has become the heroine, then the sister in her play will be played by her sister Dorothy..."

"Pickup!"

"You sir, you sir!!! Master Ball, what's the problem?"

"Host, this system is just a reminder that sisters will cause you to directly overtake."

Hearing this sentence, our Master Yuan stopped eating the delicious scallion oil noodles and asked angrily: "Master Ball, who stipulates this?"

"Host, you know..."

This broken system is too wide to manage. You have to manage your head and j8, which will make people not become a master. But what if you don’t feel good?

Our Master Yuan had to give up the thoughts that he shouldn't have and said to Shin-shen: "I also want to recommend an actor, who is my friend's sister. But she has no acting experience. David, can you let her try it?"

Nonsense, he is both a screenwriter, an investor and a producer. Not to mention recommending a supporting actress who has no acting experience, if he insists, it would be natural to choose sweet-outlook to play the heroine.

So the movie master nodded and said, "Neo, this is no problem. Then..."

He finally asked the most critical question: "Who is the producer? And how should I calculate my reward?"

Speaking of this, Yuan Yanshu's expression was also solemn. The money for filming "The Lonely of Famine" was not blown by the strong wind. Some of it was the hard-earned money of his compatriots. It should not be ruined by this great director who was addicted to spending money.

His speech on Christmas Eve was indeed effective, and he met many powerful Chinese merchants. The twenty original shares of the Cyris Investment Co., Ltd. were sold out easily.

The old man who cried that night alone bought five copies.

His name is Li Che, who is originally from Guangdong. Like Zhuang Kunlun's father, he was also a servant. At that time, his salary was 4.5 US dollars a week. He sent him 2 US dollars and saved 2 US dollars himself as living expenses. He also went to Sunday school to study English every week. In this way, he saved 500 US dollars in five years and opened his first laundry. By 1920, Mr. Li had more than ten chain stores in New York. (Author's note: There was indeed a person like Li Che in history.)

Our Master Yuan was recently able to get an investment dividend from the First National Bank of New York, with a principal of about 100,000 yuan. In this way, he had 200,000 US dollars on hand.

Compared to the current figure of one million US dollars, there is naturally a big gap. Fortunately, making movies is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it will take at least one or two months of preparation period.
