When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his eyes immediately opened slightly again, and then he couldn't help but said excitedly: "Hurry up and see, come here and see."
He couldn't wait to see this movie.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"But in order to see more clearly, we need to close the curtains on the surrounding windows."
Hong Ting nodded quickly.
"Well, close the curtains."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and ordered. Upon hearing this, the young eunuchs under his command quickly closed all the curtains around them, and Liu Jin's study suddenly became much darker.
After Hong Ting made some adjustments, he also started playing the movie.
Some pictures began to play on the curtain that had been arranged in advance, and at the same time, a gramophone began to play sound.
The melodious singing accompanied the pictures on the curtain. At first, the pictures on the pictures did not move because they were all the same, but slowly, as the film played, the characters on the pictures began to move.
The hands can move, the feet can walk, and the mouth can speak. It feels exactly like the real thing.
"Haha, interesting, interesting."
Zhu Houzhao watched the movie, listened to the sound, and couldn't help but clap his hands. The most attractive thing about this novel method is that the pictures are moving and accompanied by sound. This is much better than watching a drama or something, because this can
There are many more images captured.
"It's rare that you can watch movies in this era."
"However, the content of this movie is not interesting. It is actually a filmed drama. It is better to go and watch the drama live."
Liu Jin looked at the black and white picture in front of him with some boredom, compared with the color movies and TVs of later generations.
The movie in front of me is still very primitive and rough. Not to mention it is black and white, the picture quality is also quite rough, and the content of the film is all old-fashioned drama content, and there is nothing to watch at all.
Liu Jin can already recite the contents of these dramas. The routines are similar and not interesting.
That is to say, people in this era lack entertainment programs, so dramas are popular.
The gradual decline of drama in later generations is not entirely due to the rise of television, movies, and mobile phones. A large part of the important reason is that the expression form, content, innovation, etc. of drama have not kept up with the trend of the times.
Theater troupes in many places have added some explosive striptease performances, which are very popular. People of all ages and genders come to join in the fun.
Liu Jin didn't think it was interesting, but the others were different. They all opened their eyes and watched with gusto. Watching it on the screen was still very different from watching it in the theater. There was a huge difference.
difference.
This novel way is very attractive and makes people fall in love with it as soon as they see it.
It played for several minutes, and the scene ended only after the film ran out.
"It's gone?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at it with great interest. When he saw that the screen became blank, he asked unhappily.
"Your Majesty~"
"This was just invented not long ago, and the film is very expensive, so we only produced a small piece of content like this."
Hong Ting also quickly replied.
"Too little, too little. It's not satisfying to look at. It has no beginning and no end."
Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and said dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, we will shoot a complete movie later, and I will definitely invite you to watch it."
Hong Ting could only blame him for saying it again.
"Well, this movie invention is really good, really good."
"This is much better than going to the theater, which only has a few scripts, and it looks like it's just a big place."
"This movie is different. It can capture the entire Ming Dynasty, and it can also interpret various stories and historical events. This movie will definitely be very popular in the future."
Zhu Houzhao nodded, then touched his chin and said.
"Your Majesty, you are right."
"The development prospects of this movie are definitely much stronger than that of drama."
Liu Jin also said with a smile.
"Old Liu, how about we work together to set up a special business to shoot movies, build theaters and so on?"
Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes, smiled and said.
Zhu Houzhao had a headache when he thought about the family separation expenses for his more than 200 sons.
There are too many sons. Even if one of them is given millions of taels of silver, the total amount is terrifying. Zhu Houzhao now has to think about earning more money, otherwise the internal funds will be divided in the future, not to mention there are still
More than 200 daughters are getting married.
When an emperor marries a daughter, he still has to look the way he should, and the money he should spend cannot be saved. Generally speaking, Zhu Houzhao will have to worry about money in the future.
He could have been very happy, but he gave birth to a lot of children. Even if he became an emperor, he would have to worry about it.
Fortunately, he and Liu Jin have jointly established a large number of industries and businesses, which can bring extremely considerable and huge profits and returns every year. Otherwise, it would not be enough for Zhu Houzhao to sell all his underwear.
"Your Majesty, this is what I mean."
"My plan is this. In the future, I will set up a Daming Film Industry to shoot various movies. I will also build some large shopping malls in major cities in the Ming Dynasty. There will be special cinemas in the shopping malls.
The shops in this shopping mall can be rented out to make money, and the cinema can also sell movie tickets and various other things to make money."
"If this is done, the income will still be quite good in the future."
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately laughed.
This Zhu Houzhao also felt the pain of having more sons and knew that he would make more money.
"Tsk, tsk, you are still very good, Old Liu, with a lot of clever ideas. Once Daming Pictures gets going, money will flow in like running water."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but give a thumbs up after hearing this.
To make money, you still have to obey Liu Jin. It’s so profitable. There are so many clever ideas to make money. You can create a new industry casually. When the industry comes out, the money can flow into your pocket like running water.
.
"Your Majesty, how about you and me three this time?"
Liu Jin smiled, and then started talking about shares.
"Stick to the old rule, split it half and half."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and shook his head and said, "Although I need money, your share still belongs to you."
"Okay~"
Liu Jin also nodded and agreed.
The two most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty were discussing making money just like businessmen, but no one around them was surprised.
In this era, money is used everywhere and in every aspect.
Even the emperor is still a human being and needs money.
Without money, nothing can be done.
The emperor wanted to support the Ming Dynasty's million-strong army and many nobles in the harem. There were more than 200 princes who wanted to separate their families, and more than 200 princesses who wanted to get married.
There are many places to spend money, and the royal family has to take into account, so it is not something that can be done casually.
If it weren't for the huge industries that Liu Jin and Liu Jin bought together, the emperor would probably be just as picky as before, and he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything he wants to do.
"Hong Ting!"
"I will leave the affairs of Daming Pictures to you. As for the start-up capital, I will first give you 10 million taels of silver."
"What you need to do is to continue to study this movie, gradually mature the film technology, and to shoot a variety of good-looking movies."
"For example, you can shoot some important events in history, such as Huo Qubing's defeat of the Xiongnu, and events like when Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty expelled the Tartars and restored the Han Dynasty. These can be photographed. You can go to various regions to take pictures.
Hire someone specifically to perform this."
"We can also shoot some martial arts movies, such as knights hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, punishing rape and eradicating evil, etc."
"In short, you can shoot all kinds of movies. You don't have to be restricted to dramas. Everyone is tired of watching them. If you watch them too much, it won't be interesting."
Liu Jin turned around and began to explain in detail to Hong Ting. The content shown in the movie can be very wide and many, whether it is history, reality, or some imaginary things, etc., all the content can be displayed through the movie.
form to show it.
These are things that dramas do not have, and the filming location of the movie can be very wide, ranging from north to south, great mountains and rivers, or various artificially created scenic spots, etc. can be shot.
This is what makes movies really popular.
Good movies always make people pay to watch them. Of course, later movies and TV series often make people lose the urge to watch them because the actors and other actors are so rubbish. Various action movies and martial arts movies use
What kind of slow motion can successfully make people quit movies and TV?
But no matter what, the movie has attracted countless people to watch it since its birth. As long as it is a good movie, people are still willing to pay for it.
"Yep!"
"This movie about Huo Qubing defeating the Huns must be made, and we must find someone who is very similar to me to film it."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he nodded immediately.
The person he admires the most is Huo Qubing. Since he was a child, he has dreamed of being able to conquer the Helan Mountains like Huo Qubing.
Now when he heard that Liu Jin said that he wanted to make a movie about Huo Qubing defeating the Huns, he immediately said excitedly.
If this movie can be filmed, it will definitely be very attractive. Although it is impossible for him to defeat the Huns, he can let Hong Ting find someone who looks more like himself to play Huo Qubing.
Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao is already very much looking forward to such a movie. He can't wait to shoot such a movie now. When the time comes, he must go and watch it and take a good look.
"yes!"
When Hong Ting heard this, he quickly nodded solemnly.
