Alchemy Greater China

"Hehe, alternating current is not bad? In fact, it is a very safe energy source!"

"Yes, it's very good. The power interface provided is also quite simple. Our movie machine can be powered on after a little modification! It's much more convenient than the original manual joystick!"

"Oh? You will debug the interface yourself?"

"Yes, we love to think about it since we were young..."

"Is there any difficulty? As a developer, I would like to get your end-user opinions..."

When it came to technology, the Lumiere brothers became less restrained and began to discuss fluently with Tesla.

After talking for a while, they found that the more they talked with Tesla, the more speculative they became. It couldn't be seen that Tesla also seemed to have a deep research on film technology.

A few technical terms related to movies mentioned in a few words tickled the hearts of the Lumiere brothers.

If it weren't for Long Hao's presence, they would have dragged Tesla to the nearby cabin and 'striped' him, so that he would be 'tortured'!

"Drink a bowl of soup first, shark ingot soup, very nourishing."

When the morning tea came, Long Hao interrupted the chat between Tesla and the Lumiere brothers, and said with a smile.

Xiao Yu changed from her usual mischievousness, and stood up very ladylikely at this time, and personally served the soup for everyone.

This move made Atange and the Lumiere brothers a little flattered, and they didn't dare to do it even if they said it was helpful.

After eating a bowl of hot soup, the Lumiere brothers felt a burst of heat rising from their stomachs, and the fatigue from the past two days disappeared.

At the moment, I can't help but praise the magic of Chinese food!

"To get to the point, everyone's time is precious. Yes!"

Long Hao took a bite of crab roe and shrimp dumpling, wiped the oil overflowing from his mouth, and said, "Come this time. I'm here to introduce the actors to you."

Sure enough, the Lumiere brothers were not surprised, but they still had to put on a little surprise on their faces: "Actors? Oh, Your Majesty Hao, all of you here are noble people, of course we welcome you to be actors. But... will you Will it be too hard?"

"It won't be hard. In fact, there is only one actor who is going to be an actor, and that is him. A Tangge, stand up, pour a cup of tea with the two gentlemen, and say hello! From now on, your future depends on their care!"

"Yes!"

Atangge stood up.Taking a very standard aristocratic step, which is also commonly known as a model step, he brought two cups of brewed hot tea, walked up to the Lumiere brothers, and offered them respectfully.

"Two masters please taste!"

"Don't dare, Atangge, you are more famous than us, don't call me a master. Just call me August, just call him Louis!"

"Cough. The rules cannot be broken! Apart from me, you two brothers are the top executives of Golden Pot Films. He is just an actor who begs for food under your subordinates. You can afford this cup of tea! You deserve it!"

Long Hao's majestic remarks were not intended to deliberately suppress Ah Tang Pavilion, but to establish a good ethical relationship between actors and the company from the source.

No matter how famous an actor becomes, it is also the company's "property". The film company must control the life and death of the actor, at least the "life and death" of the profession.

If you want to do this well, you have to start from A Tang Ge.

After all, Ah Tangge was the first star selected by Long Hao, and he was also an international movie star who was scheduled to become popular!

After drinking the tea, Long Hao also began to tell the Lumiere brothers his overall plan.

Be a movie star?

After Lumiere heard this, he clicked his tongue inwardly, but they thought about it carefully: with the unique movie, coupled with the sunny and impeccable appearance of Atang Pavilion, let alone, this movie star road Really hopeful!

If you think about it, it was just a blurry photo published in a newspaper at the beginning, which made Ah Tang Pavilion a frequent visitor in the dreams of many women who are overflowing with maternal love. If this time it is accompanied by a lingering love script and beautiful movie sets , A Tang Pavilion became a hit, definitely not a daydream!

"When he becomes a movie star, his words and deeds will affect those brainless... well, fanatical fans! Fans are people who admire him... At that time, the star effect that Atang Pavilion will exert will be immeasurable ..."

Long Hao finished speaking with a slight smile, and turned to look at the excited A Tang Pavilion.

A Tang Pavilion has been hidden by him for so long. After undergoing strict professional training such as "basic cultivation of actors", he finally came out of the mountain. Now, Long Hao has clearly outlined the future for A Tang Pavilion, and this rainbow In the future, he couldn't help being excited!

Become an idol for women all over the world!

Become the benchmark for men to imitate!

This goal just sounds exciting! !

A Tangge is a hot-blooded young man. Hearing this, he couldn't help interjecting: "Don't worry, Your Majesty Hao, I will definitely not live up to your expectations of me! I will definitely become a big star!"

"I believe in my vision, and I believe in you even more!"

Long Hao nodded and smiled, his steady smile gave Ah Tangge infinite confidence and motivation.

"This script is about a pair of young men and women who meet and fall in love on the Nile River..."

The younger brother Louis began to introduce the script that had been carefully revised for two days: "I think, the Egyptian youth should be played by Atangge, and the southern European princess who travels in simple clothes should be played by, by...how about Miss Xiaoyu? Her appearance is very suitable for this role!"

According to the script, the southern European princess is gentle and graceful, with the characteristics of an oriental woman. Xiaoyu puts on a wig and modifies the color of her pupils to perfectly control this role.

"Really? Am I that good?"

When Xiao Yu heard that she had the opportunity to make some kind of movie, she stroked her cheeks with both hands, and her eyes lit up involuntarily.

Of course, what made her happiest was the follow-up sentence of the Lumiere brothers: "Miss Xiaoyu has the temperament of a princess, which can save a lot of training time!"

"What kind of filming? Is it glorious to be an actor?"

Unexpectedly, Long Hao reprimanded Xiao Yu harshly in Chinese, which made our little girl face bitter and dare not make a sound.

The Lumiere brothers couldn't understand Chinese, but that didn't prevent them from guessing Long Hao's polite refusal.So, I had no choice but to stop talking and smile awkwardly.I dare not say anything more.

"Hehe, she is my maid. She can't do such a difficult thing as making a movie."

After training Xiao Yu, Long Hao quickly recovered his smiling face: "Actress, I mean, there will be a large-scale audition in the western United States. Anyone can sign up. Let's make it lively, just for the first film. Make a show!"

"Audition?"

"Positive?"

Brother Lumiere was a little dizzy after understanding the concept, and thought: This Chinese king is really good at making troubles!Hey.Thanks to him being able to come up with such a wonderful idea, no wonder he has built a foundation in just three or four years that others would not be able to work hard for in a few lifetimes!

... Audition, to be honest, the timing is not too ripe.Heat is limited.Because movies are still a new thing in everyone's minds, and the star effect has not been cultivated. It is conceivable that there must be very few people who can come to participate.

However, although the silence of the audition is a foregone conclusion, since Long Hao knows that this road is right, he must stick to it.

Go early.One more advantage.

As for building momentum...that's because Long Hao wants to reserve time for building a cinema!

The movie theater does not need to be built out of thin air, but can be transformed by using the original opera house.But even so, it will take time to negotiate, purchase, decorate and other matters.

According to Long Hao's plan, before the first 10-minute short movie is released, there will be at least six movie theaters in the western United States!

Among them, there are two in San Francisco, one in Los Angeles, and one in Seattle. For the other two, Long Hao will place them in the two cities with the highest support for him among the four western states, depending on the situation.

The matter of recommending actors came to an end, and the Lumiere brothers had already understood what Long Hao meant, and immediately patted their chests and said that they would definitely create a "star-making project" tailored for A Tangge, and their younger brother Louis even pulled A Tangge's Shou said sincerely: The script will be revised for him, trying to show his most handsome and charming appearance in front of the audience.

Judging from these details, the Lumiere brothers are indeed good people who know how to cater to the appetite of their sponsors. Of course, this is also related to the Lumiere brothers' admiration for Long Hao's advanced and wonderful movie concept.

To the Lumiere brothers' overtures, Long Hao just nodded and said lightly: "Everything depends on him!"

Even if this topic is over.

Long Hao appreciates A Tang Pavilion, but he will never create stars for him without principle.

After all, Long Hao still believes in one principle, that is: No matter how good your natural conditions are, you have to work hard to succeed.

Otherwise, you will be a fake success. Even if you win the hearts and minds of thousands of viewers for a while, Long Hao still has one hundred and one ways to make you fall from the altar!

Fortunately, Long Hao is quite at ease with A Tangge's character. This can be seen from the previous actor training. It can be said that the current A Tangge is humble, sincere, diligent, studious and many other excellent characters. A 'complex' of quality.

In short, with such a good hardware condition here, if A Tang Ge still can't succeed, then he can only blame himself for not being so good, and Long Hao will not take pity on him.

Because, Long Hao already has a planb in his heart, half a year, at most five movies, if Ah Tang Pavilion is not popular half the world, he will look for another candidate.

Anyway, making stars, who is not made?

The most indispensable thing in this world is handsome men and beautiful women with beautiful appearance.

...The Lumiere brothers didn't even realize that their flattery had been slapped on the horse's hoof. On the morning tea table, they had even begun to discuss the details of the revision of the love script with A Tangge.

At this moment, Long Hao coughed, indicating that he hadn't finished speaking.

"Hey, the revision of the script can be put aside for now. Mr. Lumiere, the surprise I want to bring to you is not over yet! In fact, the real big surprise has not yet appeared. Atang Pavilion can only be regarded as a surprise It's just a warm-up before..."

What Long Hao said surprised the Lumiere brothers: Is there a big surprise?Isn't the road to stardom all about surprises?Tsk tsk, I really can't think of it, is there anything more wonderful than "star making" that can keep us amazed?Hey, could it be related to Professor Tesla?

Before Brother Lumiere could finish flashing his thoughts, Long Hao continued: "The biggest surprise is Professor Tesla, or you can call him Doctor."

"Hehe, in front of you. I dare not call you a doctor."

Tesla smiled very modestly. Others might think he was being polite, but in fact only he himself knew it best.Everything he has done may be quite remarkable in the eyes of the world, but in front of this alchemy king, it all seems so mediocre.

Whether it is the "Quantum Mechanics" theory that opened up a new field in the physics world, or the alchemy industry line that has changed his outlook on life in the past year... Tesla has never admired a person so much since he was born. people!

Therefore, he couldn't accept the profound title of doctor in front of Long Hao.

"Don't talk to me about whether you have a doctor or not now. Dr. Tesla... Well, Professor Tesla, it's your turn to share your latest research results with the Lumiere brothers."

Long Hao smiled and waved his hands.Obviously, his mouth and heart are different. Judging from the corner of his mouth that is almost grinning to the ear, he expresses humility to Tesla, the legendary bull.Obviously feeling great!

"What latest research... results?"

Brother Lumiere still looked confused.It's even more confusing than how to eat the glutinous rice chicken on the plate in front of you.

"Didn't you just talk very speculatively? This research result is closely related to the movie!"

Long Hao's words made the Lumiere brothers startled: Is it film technology?Some of Professor Tesla's views on film are indeed novel and unique, but... Didn't His Majesty the King say that he would not interfere with our research on film technology?Could it be that he wants to go back on his word?

"Don't worry, my research is still in the experimental stage, and it won't affect the film you are going to shoot now." Tesla seemed to see the concerns of the Lumiere brothers, and smiled casually: "This It's just a theoretical discussion. A discussion about the future of cinema."

For the next time, Long Hao left the space to get along with Tesla and the Lumiere brothers.He has a high position and a lot of opportunities, and his attention to the film industry can only go so far. The next stop, he will go to Xiajia, where decisions about the latest trends in the Alchemy Kingdom are made.

Princess Melissa was also there, no matter what the reasons were, Long Hao had been 'wandering' outside for so long, and it was time to go back and deal with 'national' and 'family' affairs.

Although Alchemy Kingdom is a 'big company', it's hard to justify the chairman's inaction for a long time!

Long Hao and Xiao Yu came and went lightly, as if they were not at all vulgar, but the few people left got together to discuss the most vulgar things in the world.

What's the cheesiest thing?

Yes, that's how to make money, make a lot of money, take advantage of the movie's new ace on the world poker table...and make a lot of money!

Tesla: "What do you think movies are?"

Ah Tang Ge answered: "It is an expression of human mood and worldview..."

Tesla: "Okay, don't copy what you learned in the actor training class. Movies need you to understand and reorganize in your own language...Okay, shut up and listen carefully. .”

The Lumiere brothers thought for a while and said: "Movies can record historical moments, and movies can also be used as legal evidence. Movies can also share the wonderful scenes in people's minds with more people, to please them and entertain them. Pass the emotion..."

Tesla nodded: "By the way, this understanding is more thorough. It seems that this is your personal experience, Mr. Lumiere... But I want to say that the movie is not that noble, it is an ever-escalating money-grabbing tool , he is an upgradeable spice that enriches the spiritual life of mankind! Movies are the sharpest long swords that cut the gap between educated people and illiterates!"

Brother Lumiere nodded and whispered to himself: "Cut off the cultural gap? It makes sense."

Tesla continued: "So, from a scientific point of view, film is now like the embryonic stage of a promising subject, and there are still many things worthy of our exploration."

"Professor, please enlighten me!"

The Lumiere brothers were completely convinced by Tesla's speech at this moment, and there was an impulse in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to see Tesla's "research results" on movies.

"The current movie, intuitively speaking, has two points that can be improved, two obvious points... Well, Ah Tang Pavilion, you can say it!"

Tesla pointed to Ah Tang Ge who was eager to try and talk.

"Yes, Professor Tesla, these two points should be, one, the improvement of the image, and two, the improvement of the sound."

Ah Tangge puffed up his chest, and replied in a straight voice.

Cultivating a magnetic and friendly pronunciation is also an important lesson in the training of actors at Tango. What I said made the Lumiere brothers a little deafening.

Graphical enhancements, as the name suggests, are colorized over existing black and white films.

The world around us is so colorful, how can the two colors of black and white describe the splendor clearly?

It is even easier to improve the sound. Today's movies have no sound, and in the original history, until the first peak period of movies in the early [-]th century, the entire film industry was dominated by silent films, at most Plus a musical soundtrack.

This is not surprising. Movies were originally inspired by photos. At the beginning, have you ever heard that photos record sound?

Precisely because films were dominated by silent films in the early days, some older generation film workers stubbornly believed that silent films were the future and all of films. They even refused to apply sound to the Video up.

To a certain extent, the first batch of "vested interests" in these films have hindered the development speed of the film... Naturally, Long Hao will not give it another chance to make this mistake, he wants to kill the silent film in the bud stage.

Movies should have gorgeous colors, and a sound that cleanses the soul and purifies the soul! (To be continued..)
