Chapter 61 Wen Qing Disease (Thursday)

Subtitle of this chapter: Then give up treatment

"Mr. Griffith..."

"Please call me David!"

"Okay, David. Can I take the liberty to ask, is there anything you have to do with Mr. George Baker this time?" Yuan Yan suddenly pointed to the rich third generation and said, "Maybe we can help some more?"

And Sherlock Holmes shrugged without objection.

"That..." Griffith hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, we are here to seek Mr. Baker's help."

“Help? Financial help?”

Since all the words were said, the great director had to nod and said, "Yes. I want to open a film studio, so..."

Our Master Yuan suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "David, you finally understand!"

Then he waved his arms and said, "Those Jews in Hollywood..."

Yuan Yan suddenly remembered that Mr. Louis Baker was a left-wing person who was "in the hell of capitalism and looking up to the socialist paradise", and immediately changed into a standard left-wing language.

"Well, for the sake of a little economic benefit in front of you, those Jewish capitalists in Hollywood completely ignored the innate spiritual pursuits of mankind!"

He took a peek at him, and he saw Mr. Sherlock Holmes with an expression of agreement.

"Like all capitalists, the system of producers they have for money and the harsh contracts that exploit the performers are like the shackles and whips of slave owners. They not only regard filmmakers like you as objects of exploitation, but also stifle American film art bit by bit."

Later, these Jewish capitalists indeed "suffered" American films into "Leviathan" that beats the film industry in other countries. It has to be said that capitalism has its superiority in some industries, especially the entertainment industry that caters to the vulgar and interesting things of mankind.

No, this definitely won’t work!

When I think of the world film industry structure a hundred years later, I think of the bird-like appearance of the Celestial Cinema. Those directors who are known as "literary youth" are actually neither literary nor elegant, even Sanmao and third-rate drivers can make movies. And those young and handsome guys, plastic faces and the sister who "devastated the show" are all about to crack the back teeth.

Moreover, once a person sets a grand life goal, he will have a lofty sense of mission in his heart. Our Master Yuan is now a bit extraordinary and out of ordinary life.

Mom, I can't sleep with the female stars in later generations. Can't I ruin the good things of the Jews in later generations?

So how can they ruin their affairs? Isn’t there a suitable candidate right now?

Master Yuan, who has watched n Hollywood entertainment articles, has already figured out that one of the success factors of American movies... Well, the primary factor is its unique large studio system.

Before Hollywood dominated the world in the 1980s and 1990s, film creation around the world outside the United States implemented a "director-center" system. That is, the director is the main body of a movie, the director controls all aspects of the film production, and the director is also responsible for the completion of the film.

But in the United States, there is a producer above the director. In fact, they are just executors who are intended by the producer. The scripts they shoot are designated by the producer, and the actors they choose are signed by the studio, and the director himself has no right to participate in editing and post-production. Only a few top directors can break free from such barriers.

The most famous example is "Gone with the Wind" filmed in 1939. This film was actually completed by three directors several times. However, its style is quite unified and the plot is very complete, and it has achieved great success in the box office.

How is the system of a large studio than the director center system?

Being strong is that you are... Doing this can prevent the director from becoming a literary youth!

When I think of this answer, Yuan Yanshu, who wrote online novels in his previous life, became even more uncomfortable. It is obvious that those readers have too poor knowledge and too low reading taste, and are only worthy of reading and reading cool articles. How can they say that their writing style is good, their brains and knowledge reserves are so large that they often overflow with literary youth?

"Click"... He seemed to have really cracked his back teeth.

Forget it, I have to eat it in one bite. Since I have set ambitions to change the direction of American film development and drive the Jews out of the film industry, the first step is to find a way to sip David Griffith into a different kind of Hollywood's "director-center" system...

No, this definitely won’t work!

If it really becomes a "director-center" system, then I have something to use it?

Our Master Yuan was not interested in being a director in the United States in the 1920s. If he had been wearing it for 30 or 40 years late, he might have found a way to play with female stars... Well, play with loud voices. Now this profession is too low and is completely worthy of a time traveler like him. So he wanted to establish a third film production system.

"Master Ball, please search for me..."

He picked up the "drink" and took a sip. He took this opportunity to look at the search results, and quickly figured out his words. In fact, the key to convince this guy is why he wanted to seek financial help.

Yuan Yan suddenly put down the wine glass and looked directly at Griffith and said seriously: "David. I am frank, since the film "The Party and the Party's Fighting the Different", your box office performance seems to be a bit sluggish. Especially the two recent films, what are the names..."

Miss Jish glanced at "Ni Ao" charmingly and said, "Mr. Yuan is talking about "Suzy of True Heart" and "The Road to New England"?"

"Yes, look at my memory. But Miss Jish, your performance in it is so outstanding, it's really fascinating!"

"Where is as good as Mr. Yuan said?"

"Neo, please call me Neo. That's how your performance is perfect."

"So tired, please call me Lilian. That's how sweet your mouth is."

"Lilian, Lilian, why do you call egg tarts... Well, Lilian?"

"Ni Ao, Ni Ao, why do you call Ni Ao?"

Their three kingdoms version of Romeo and ancient Egyptian version of Juliet flirted in public, and even Sherlock Holmes, who was thinking "so left", couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't help but raise his fist to his mouth and coughed a few times.

Our Master Yuan finally came to his senses and said, "Ah, where did I say it? By the way, David, let me guess, you can't find an investor, so you want to start a new business, right?"

Director Griffith smiled bitterly and said, "I can't find investors, but, just..."

Yuan Yan suddenly raised her legs and lit a camel, and said, "It's just that they don't want to invest in the movies you want to shoot, isn't that true?"

David Griffith nodded silently.

In fact, as Master Yuan said, starting from "The Party's Joint Exploration of Different Countries", the directorial career of this "father of film" began to decline.

The production cost of "The Party and the Party" is an unprecedented $1.9 million. You should know that this is $1.9 million in 1915! However, the box office suffered a tragic Waterloo and even the cost was not recovered.
Chapter completed!
