The audio film "Sunrise" shocked the American media. They were not interested in what the film said, and the focus was on the sound.

Although the sound in the movie has a little nasal sound, it sounds extremely clear.

After the show ended, the media reported on the incident and criticized Hollywood film companies.

Even countries with such backward film technology have made audio movies. What are American film companies doing? They are too unprofitable and have no innovative spirit.

Fortunately, the audio film machine was made by an American company, which made the American media regain some face.

Anyway, Americans participated in this world's first audio film, and they were convinced that without the guidance of American machines and American recording artists, the Chinese would definitely not be able to shoot audio films.

Douglas Sheila instantly became the focus and was interviewed by many media to tell him about his impression of China.

This American young man is not a person who is in person or behind his back.

He has a good impression of China, especially Shanghai, and has a pleasant cooperation with practitioners in the Chinese film industry.

He also repeatedly mentioned Lin Zixuan and the star film company under Lin Zixuan's leadership.

In Douglas's narrative, Star Film Company is China's largest film company, and like Paramount in the United States, it is far ahead of other film companies in terms of company size and shooting technology.

Therefore, the American media exclaimed that a large film company located in the Far East is rising and American film companies should be careful.

This made Lin Zixuan and celebrity film companies once again show their presence in the United States.

The entertainment media in the United States are very lively, but American film companies do not agree with it. Most film companies are indifferent, and only some medium-sized film companies are willing to try it.

After all, the shooting of audio movies is quite investment, and once the audience does not accept it, they will lose all their money.

Douglas Sheila spent half a year in China. After returning to the United States, she suddenly became an expert in audio films from a young man. Many film companies offered him a considerable salary.

This is probably what he did not expect, and his directorial dream came true.

So this is the opportunity in life. He followed Lin Zixuan to Shanghai just to support his family.

Lin Zixuan was also happy for Douglas. This American guy has a good character and has said bad things about China before he returned to the United States. He is better than many Chinese people.

He believed that audio films would develop, "Sunrise" was just the beginning, and Chinese films would also enter the Western world.

In Lushan, Lin Zixuan wrote "The Watcher in the Wheat Field" every night, and during the day he held a manuscript to discuss the plot in the novel with Pearl Buck.

He was originally here for vacation, but he was bored to wander around every day, so he couldn't be with Feng Chengcheng all the time.

No matter how many topics are discussed, you may as well leave some private space for each other. With the truth, only distance can produce beauty. Of course, the distance cannot be too far, otherwise there will be distance and beauty will be gone.

Feng Chengcheng understood this very well and thought it was normal for a writer to write a manuscript.

She was considering what Lin Zixuan said about opening a women's clothing store. Women love beauty. There are many fashion stores on Xiafei Road in the French Concession. She often goes to buy clothes.

It's also good to open a clothing store yourself, at least you don't have to stay at home and do nothing every day.

Moreover, women's clothing stores are all dating women, and no one will gossip. It is indeed a good choice.

She learned cutting when she was in girls' school and could try to design clothes by herself, not only selling finished products shipped from abroad, but also designing fashionable clothes by herself.

There is another problem here. In Shanghai, it is not the rich wives and ladies who are really dressing in fashion, but the socialites who wander in the upper class in Shanghai.

In fact, when the word "social" was first introduced to China, it was considered a compliment. Only those wealthy and famous socialites were qualified to become sociables.

They are quite knowledgeable, good at socializing, and have a variety of charm. They are a beautiful scenery on the beach.

For example, Yin Mingzhu is a famous socialite in Shanghai. She is sought after everywhere she goes, representing fashion and trends.

Lin Zixuan knows Yin Mingzhu. She just likes to play, but she clearly distinguishes between men and women. She is definitely not the kind of casual and fair woman, and she is very dedicated in terms of feelings.

In later generations, a book called "Spring and Old News" talks about the "social socialites" in Shanghai, which reads: "Shanghai socialites are famous for their sociality, starting with Tang Ying and Lu Xiaoman. The ones who followed them were Zhou Shuping and Chen Haoming."

Tang Ying was born in a wealthy family, with a slim figure, sweet voice, avant-garde clothes, versatile, beautiful and smart, and good at Kunqu opera.

She graduated from the Chinese and Western girls' schools run by the Shanghai Church. She has outstanding Chinese and English skills and high artistic attainments.

Zhou Shuping is the daughter of Zhou Jinjue, a famous Shanghai industrialist. Needless to mention the conditions at home, she is not only beautiful, but also a good translator.

Some of her translated short English literary works have been published in high-quality magazines such as "Western Wind".

Due to her family background and social literature achievements, she became a social star in the upper class in Shanghai at that time.

Later, Zhou Shuping published many books, and was a female writer of his generation who was as famous as Lin Haiyin, the author of "Old Things in the South of the City".

Therefore, you cannot look at the socialites in the 1920s with tinted glasses.

They received Western education in girls' schools, had the mindset of Westerners, dared to resist unhappy marriages, dared to pursue their own love, show their beauty, and had an independent and open spirit.

Of course, there are another type of socialites in Shanghai.

Like Chen Bailu in "Sunrise", there are female tenants living in some Class A hotels in Shanghai such as "Dadong", "East Asia", and "Great China".

This type of woman who rents a living in "International", "Kinmen" and Huamao Apartment has a higher level of "class".

Some of these women are red dancers in major dance halls in Shanghai.

Some of them were from Shuyuan, the Hongxin people from the Yangtze River Third Middle School, who got married and came out again to attract bees and butterflies after getting married.

There are also beautiful women who live outside the family and come to make friends and receive offerings.

These women live a generous life, have a considerable show of the scene, and deal with all kinds of men. The dignitaries and nobles in Shanghai are their guests, which is quite glorious to outsiders.

Even such a socialite will not be despised in Shanghai, but will be quite popular.

Of course, it is sought after by men, but this is not the case for women.

What Feng Chengcheng was worried about was that he had a bad reputation with such socialites. Although she had progressive ideas, she had not yet treated everyone equally.
