Lin Zixuan understands how difficult it is for a Chinese girl to make a name for herself in Hollywood in this era. The Chinese Exclusion Act alone will limit the development of Chinese people in the United States.

You can never play the protagonist, you can only be a small supporting role.

Moreover, in American movies, the image of Chinese has always been a symbol of ugliness and depravity, which still exists in later generations. Ugle Chinese is a common phenomenon in American movies.

Lin Zixuan wanted to persuade her to give up in the letter because the road was too bumpy, but everyone has the right to choose to live, and he is not qualified to say anything.

So he encouraged the girl in the letter.

He also told Huang Liushuang that Chinese films are developing rapidly now, and Shanghai Star Film Company has filmed the world's first audio film, which will be screened in the theater soon.

If you don’t live well in Hollywood, you can return to China. Celebrity Film Company welcomes you at any time.

Even though he was writing a letter to a strange girl, Lin Zixuan did not forget to promote his audio movies, and he wished the whole world knew about it.

It is impossible to let the whole world know that it is naturally impossible, but after high-intensity publicity, most locals in Shanghai know that the people in the movie can speak and become their topic of conversation after dinner.

If the radio broadcast had not been done yet, Lin Zixuan might have used the radio to bombard the propaganda.

The colleagues in the film industry have different opinions on this.

Some people are watching Lin Zixuan's jokes, believing that movies are performing arts and that people's speech will ruin the audience's emotions when watching movies.

Otherwise, why don’t Americans shoot audio movies?

Lin Zixuan is sensationalism, and the audience will not accept it. In the end, he will definitely suffer losses. Silent films are the foundation of the movie.

Someone also asked about the price of audio movie machines and was shocked.

A good quality camera only costs 3,000 silver dollars, but the second-hand camera Du Yu bought from someone else only costs 1,000 silver dollars, while an audio movie machine requires 20,000 silver dollars.

I heard that Lin Zixuan bought two more. If the audio movies were not accepted by the audience, he would have to pay at least 50,000 yuan. With the funds for the renovation of the theater, it would be at least 100,000 yuan.

This Lin Zixuan is really a loser!

For a time, there was a rumor that Lin Zixuan was a prodigal son in Shanghai.

It is said that peers are enemies, and that is someone is slandering audio movies and slandering Lin Zixuan. They cannot make audio movies themselves, nor can they make Lin Zixuan successful.

Once the audience accepts audio movies, who will watch silent movies? Lin Zixuan is forcing them to death.

Zhang Shichuan is one of them.

He finally convinced Shao Zuiong to invest in a kung fu feature film. Just now, Lin Zixuan made another audio movie, and he felt that he could not keep up with the trend.

Do you still want to shoot a color movie?

Is it really good that you are walking so fast? Can you still have fun together?

There are also a group of people waiting and watching. They know the technology and know the reasons why Americans do not make audio movies, but they are not sure about the prospects of audio movies.

Lin Zixuan walked in front and explored their way, and they admired them very much.

Lin Zixuan didn't care about the undercurrent of the attacks during this period. As the star film companies gradually grew, the conflicts between him and other film companies would become deeper and deeper.

He knows the future trend and will continue firmly. After all, time waits for no one.

On September 1, 1922, No. 127 Jing'an Temple Road, Xia Ling Peike Luxury Cinema.

Whether it is those who support Lin Zixuan or those who want to watch Lin Zixuan jokes, they all come to the theater.

Hong Shen took the crew members to sit in the front, Yin Mingzhu was shining brightly, and even Ruan Lingyu took leave and ran out of the Chinese and Western girls' schools. It should be the result of Lin Xiaoling's encouragement. She herself did not have such courage.

In the private room, most of them are well-known people in society invited by Lin Zixuan to give tickets.

There were American Fei Xindun, director of the public concession, as well as several British directors, as well as several directors of the French concession. This was invited by Feng Jingyao, and Song Ziwen and Song Qingling also came to support him. The only regret was that Sun Zhongshan did not come.

It is said that Sun Zhongshan is very busy contacting various factions these days.

Feng Jingyao also heard the sounds of singing audio movies and attached great importance to tonight.

After all, the acquisition and transformation of the theater has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars. If there is a problem with the audio movie, the investment will be wasted.

At 7:30 pm, the movie officially began.

Unlike previous movies, there is no band accompaniment next to it, and the sound is emitted from the record behind the curtain.

A melodious music sounded, and subtitles began to appear on the curtain, all of which were the names of the director and the actors.

Thirty seconds later, the music stops and the screen appears.

In a dance hall, there was a singer singing "Night Shanghai" on the stage, and there were listeners drinking below, and the whole dance hall made a messy sound.

The singing girl's singing, the band's playing, the audience's conversation, the bartender pours wine, and the sound of pulling the chair...

These chaotic sounds rushed into the audience's ears. Although they were messy, they were clearly layered.

The audience can tell the difference between these sounds and it is easy to know what they are doing from the sound, rather than relying on guesses when watching silent movies in the past.

So amazing!

Lin Zixuan knew that shooting this scene took a lot of time, mainly the recording work, and how to make these messy sounds sound clear and clear, this is a technical job.

At the end of the song, socialite Chen Bailu came down from the stage, skillfully dealing with men of all kinds, showing her charm, attracting the enthusiasm of many men in the dance hall.

Then, she saw a young man and couldn't help but be stunned. The young man was her lover when she was young, Fang Dasheng.

As the camera turned, Chen Bailu took Fang Dasheng back to the hotel, and the plot began.

The most time-consuming part of the filming of the whole movie is the opening scene. In order to perfectly present the advantages of audio movies to the audience, Lin Zixuan made such a difficult clip.

The following are all shot in a closed environment, and there are not many background sound effects, so recording is easier.

The audience was still recalling the scene in the dance hall just now. The sound was so real, it was a completely different feeling from watching a silent movie.

This time, not only can you just watch, but you can also enjoy an auditory feast.

Just like the first time later audiences watched a 3D movie, the strong visual impact will indeed shock people.

The sound continued to echo over the theater, and you could hear it clearly no matter where you sat.

This is also the reason why Lin Zixuan chose the Summer Pianke Luxury Cinema. This theater seemed to have taken into account the issue of sound reverberation during its construction.

Or maybe the one who was considering was not the sound, but the characteristics of Spanish architecture were like this.

After many trials, Lin Zixuan felt that this architectural style is most suitable for the screening of audio movies.

Because it is an audio movie, there is no need to insert subtitles between plots, so the plot is coherent, leaving the audience with no time to distract themselves and immerse themselves in the movie.

In Lin Zixuan's opinion, as long as there is no audience leaving the first twenty minutes, it means that the audio movie has been accepted by the audience.
Chapter completed!
