An unexpected bet that occurred in 1877 triggered the idea of the invention of the movie. At that time, the California railroad tycoon Leland Stanford had an argument with others during a horse racing bet. He insisted that the speeding horses
There must have been a moment when all four hooves were in the air.
The people who bet against him believed that this phenomenon was impossible to happen. As the two sides argued more and more fiercely, the bet gradually escalated to an astonishing $25,000. Stanford and other people who bet against him were watching the horse racing intently.
Galloping on the track. However, the horse's four hooves move too fast and cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. The outcome of the bet is difficult to determine. So Stanford hired British photographer Eadweard Muybridge to capture the running scene.
Take photos of the horse racing in order to determine whether the horse's hooves are in the air, so as to resolve disputes.
Muybridge observed the racing horses on the side of the track for several days, and finally came up with a way to complete the task. He decided to use multiple cameras to take pictures of the running horses, and decompose the running movements of the horses into several consecutive movements.
Each camera is just a component of the sequential shooting, which ensures that every momentary movement of the horse race can be captured by the camera. Muybridge installed 16 cameras side by side along the railings of the race track, using long wires
Hook the shutter of every camera.
Then these long wires, which are about fifty or sixty centimeters above the ground, are stretched across the track. When the horses gallop past, these 16 long wires will be kicked off in turn, and the camera shutter will be pulled 16 times to capture 16 moments of the horses running.
The camera records every step of the horse's different running postures.
Muybridge installed the photos taken by 16 cameras on a turntable and lit a light between every two photos. After playing these photos continuously, he found that Stanford's judgment was correct. When the horse was running at high speed,
, there was indeed a moment when four hooves soared into the air.
Muybridge's creativity inadvertently produced the world's first movie. This was a movie that could only be watched by one person at a time through the peephole of the box. However, everyone who watched it was extremely surprised, elated and excited.
Talking about "I did see a racehorse galloping towards me."
After Muybridge's idea spread, it aroused Edison's interest. He immediately felt that this was a good and profitable business, so he invented and produced the first projector in 1887.
In 1894, the world's first cinema officially opened on Broadway Street in New York. This cinema had only 10 projectors and could only sell 10 tickets per show. As a result, there was a sea of people in front of the cinema, and people were proud to see the movie. However, this kind of movie
It cannot be projected on the screen, so the number of viewers is very limited and the image is not clear.
It was not until 1895, when the French Lumière brothers improved the projector and played the first modern film in Paris that the new thing film was officially born.
However, it was not until 1902 that the world's first commercial cinema opened in Los Angeles, USA. Hollywood was also established with Los Angeles as the center, and soon became the center of the world's film industry.
Hollywood's dominance continues to this day, creating a series of countless achievements and exporting American values to the world.
China had its first officially screened movie in 1904. Since then, the film industry has officially taken root in China and developed a unique film culture. Unfortunately, due to the influence of the turbulent times, it has always been limited to the country and has not been able to go abroad.
Since the 21st century, the commercialization of Chinese films has accelerated. Entering the second decade, it has become common for domestic films to exceed one billion in the mainland market. However, the achievements of domestic films overseas are generally good.
, except for a few films that have achieved certain results.
Even "Wolf Warrior 2", which currently has the highest box office in film history with a box office of 5.78 billion, only earned more than 10 million US dollars in overseas markets. This is only due to Li Hyuk's certain overseas appeal. It is really difficult to win.
People are satisfied.
Therefore, it is difficult for most people to have high expectations for the overseas performance of "The Ancient City". There are also many self-media outlets online that pessimize the film's overseas market prospects. However, the film's performance still depends on the box office and awards.
, for profit-oriented film companies, the most important thing is the box office.
If "The Ancient City" is an instant hit overseas, the subsequent sequels will undoubtedly have a very broad market prospect, so Bona Pictures and Penguin Pictures, including Huali Film and Television, are paying close attention to the film's overseas box office performance.
In the evening, a movie theater on Olaf Street in Los Angeles was overcrowded. This is a scene that can be seen every Friday starting from the summer season. Many Hollywood blockbusters are vying to be released in the summer season, which is a must-have for military strategists. The fierce competition has made the summer season more crowded.
The smell of gunpowder is quite strong.
Berger is a student studying at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is the quarterback of the school's football team and a star player. Naturally, he is popular with many girls. No, today I made an appointment with a hot figure I just picked up.
The hot cheerleader girls watch a movie together and do some errands afterwards...
"Hey, Mary, how about we watch this movie? I haven't seen it yet." Berger asked the cheerleading girl Mary for her opinion.
Mary shook her head and said: "I heard that O'Hela's movie is not good. Let's change it to another one!"
If the beauty doesn't want to look at it, Berger will naturally not force it. As a veteran in the bed room, he knows that it is best to satisfy the girl's requirements before doing things, and then they will cooperate with you to have fun. In fact, Berger wants to pick up Ohra more.
When he got it, it was a black girl with exaggerated buttocks. However, O'Hara had recently been playing passionately with the star player of the school basketball team and ignored him, so Berger had to do the next best thing and coax Mary into bed first.
Say it again.
Berger, who was obsessed with sperm, thought of many things at once, including the scene of a threesome, but Mary found her target: "Darling, let's watch this movie!"
"Which movie is this?" Berger looked at the Asians on the movie poster and the title "Jingjue a City" with confusion on his face: "Is it a Korean movie? Or an island country movie?"
When Americans mention Asia, the first thing they think of is South America and the island countries. Compared with China, these two countries are better known to the United States. In particular, the games and animations of the island countries have profoundly influenced the entertainment culture of the United States.
Mary looked excited and said: "No, this is a Chinese movie, starring Tom Lee. I have seen "La La Land" starring him. It's so handsome."
It seems that Mary is a good-looking person and has no resistance to male stars like Li Hyuk who have both Chinese and Western aesthetics. Berger is a little jealous. After all, it is always a bit uncomfortable for a girl to praise another man in front of her. But once
Thinking that he would have to go to bed soon, Berger couldn't bear it, forced a smile and said: "Okay, I'll buy a ticket. What do you want to drink?"
"A cup of Pepsi, thank you..."
The ticketing system in North America is still based on offline ticketing and telephone ticketing. Unlike China, which has long used a mobile ticketing system, you can buy on the app and go to the cinema to buy tickets at an unmanned terminal, which is very convenient and fast.
After buying the tickets, Berger listened unhappily to Mary talking about the various deeds of Tom Holland Lee. He agreed with her words against her will, but in her heart she thought: Even if you have the same name as Holland, you think...
Are you Spider-Man? Wait, if the movie is not good, I will post on Twitter and scold you to death...
Mary didn't notice anything strange about Beigel. After boasting about Li He enthusiastically, she added something that shocked Beigel: "If I could sleep with Tom Lee, I would die."
Berger had a mouthful of old blood clogged in his chest and almost died...
