Chapter six hundred and twentieth
How great would it be if this was really so, how could he still carry the burden for so many years? He doesn’t even have to work hard to become the richest man directly, and there is no need for people to achieve small goals in middle age.
On the dirt slope outside the venue, densely packed New Orleans citizens gathered around, watching this scene excitedly. Losers always cannot let go of the past, and these people happen to be in the camp of losers. Among the onlookers, there are many
The Confederate veterans of the Civil War were no longer able to even walk. When they saw the blue ocean in the distance and the familiar flag, they were filled with excitement and their eyes became hot.
"Father!" Mary Pickford walked out of the camera, pointing to the blue ocean in the distance with a hint of attachment and worry, "Everyone else is waiting for you."
Mary Pickford plays the role of Sheffield's daughter. Ever since she bumped into him while walking, the slave owner couldn't look directly at Mary Pickford. She always felt a little weird, but this was an acting, so she said calmly, "I
After you leave, you have to stay home well, and if I can't come back, you have to take good care of your mother."
The filming was not very smooth. With so many people always gathering together, various unexpected situations would inevitably occur. This was not a matter of the slave owner's character being cast. He had to pause many times in one morning just to be able to take the photo.
All parties worked very hard to create the ideal grand scene.
According to David Griffith's vision, the three-and-a-half-hour film is divided into three parts. The reasons for the outbreak of the Civil War and the battle scenes account for one-third, and the remaining two-thirds are about the Gish sisters and Mary.
Pickford's time and the Ku Klux Klan in postwar life crushed black riots and restored peaceful life in the South.
Of course, in the later two-thirds of the time, when a few black people entered the factory to work, the conditions were far inferior to those during the plantation period, which revealed that the sense of moral justice mentioned by the Northern Federation was full of hypocrisy.
Finally, the elderly Mary Pickford went to New York and accidentally met a black wanderer who was a slave in the manor. The old black workers were also suffering from hunger and cold, and nothing had changed.
This is a fact, what can't be filmed? Sheffield only has twenty minutes of the first hour. Apart from the causes of the war that were filmed before, this time the legion is formed and goes to the front line. The rest is just living in
The narration is in progress.
As for most of the subsequent filming consultants, as a successful slave owner, Sheffield never cheated. Regarding the filming of quelling the black riots, the consultant was Conley, the real convener of the Ku Klux Klan. This film can be used professionally from inside to outside.
This vocabulary is used to describe.
During lunch, Sheffield was still reciting the lines, which were telegraphed from Arlington. David Griffith was also watching the speech above and asked, "Is this the original version from that year?"
"If my grandmother remembers it correctly, that's it." Sheffield reached for a piece of bread, then put it back, only ate a piece of apple, and said eloquently, "Of course, the details of this movie must be restored as much as possible.
The original reality, don’t make those falsehoods. Many things are like this. It’s like telling a person who has no capital the secret of investment. If this person has investment money, will it be your turn to come to class? So-called economists
No one is immune to being deceived, let alone the public. If you are like me and use huge amounts of cash to forcefully promote an industry, do you still need to invest? People take the initiative to invest in me! It depends on whether I am willing or not."
"The Morgan and Rockefeller families know this best!" Sheffield's face was filled with pride, and in front of many of the movie's leading actors around him, he revealed his true nature of making billions and billions.
These little bits of essence caused Mary Pickford to secretly peek at this flamboyant slave owner many times. If Mary Pickford were a man, she would probably feel like a man. But as a girl who has just begun to have a love affair, she will inevitably be taken away by the world.
Affected, although Sheffield kept saying it for the first time, he was already a middle-aged man.
But in fact, the slave owner was only in his early thirties. Although his style was a little sloppy, he did not change his excellent life, which created the slave owner's rather youthful nature.
"The total scenes between Gale and McHale and I were less than half an hour, right? Let's not mention the dark history of the two of them running to Brazil." Sheffield snickered for a while, waiting for the extras to finish their meal.
There was also intense shooting in the afternoon.
This time the film applied many new techniques and changes to old films. In the silent film era, the film had sixteen frames, but if sound effects were added, the sound and film would be inconsistent. The number of frames in a talkie film
All twenty-four frames!
The frame rate of early silent films was mostly sixteen frames, but because the camera was driven by a hand crank, the frame rate was often changed during the filming process to express emotions. To change the frame rate in the theater, you can also adjust the projector's
The film winding mechanism is completed by a voltage rheostat.
Silent films are often projected at a higher frame rate than when they were shot. Although the frame rate is enough to make people feel movement, it is often considered to be a fast motion. The frame rate is changed by using a two- or three-piece shutter on the projector.
Increase it to double or triple what the audience sees.
This is the first application of the new standards. Not only do the staff have to adapt again, but the films that have previously starred actors also need to adapt. On the contrary, the real slave owners in Sheffield do not know this difference and do not need to adapt at all.
The higher the frame number, the smoother it is. In fact, from the perspective of a businessman in Sheffield, the choice of the 24-frame standard must be to save money. Driven film in the early 20th century was still quite expensive. It was not impossible to use it.
The theory can be applied to all industries.
With the blessing of the richest man in the United States, and on the third day after hearing Mary Pickford call her father dozens of times, Sheffield finally walked from his manor to the gathering place of the soldiers to deliver his three-minute speech for the second part of the scene.
There were still a lot of citizens watching in the distance, and this time they were not disappointed. Sheffield rode a horse and stopped on the slope in front of more than 3,000 soldiers. He held the horse rope for pre-war mobilization, and pointed out the federal government with fierce words.
The government's decision was too hasty. "In essence it was a robbery of the entire Southern citizenry. If we did not let these Yankees know the difficulties at the beginning, after their freedom was taken away from South Carolina and Florida, their
Standards will be enforced on all Dixie homes."
"Not all people have the determination to resist. I dare to conclude that even if other slave states remained in the federal government, their rights would be immediately abolished. I want to emphasize again that black people cannot be released, but all people
We must receive corresponding compensation instead of waiting for the Yankees to come and loot our wealth." Sheffield looked at the soldiers below and shouted, "All Dixie men get their guns and go to the battlefield immediately."
Long live the Legion Commander, long live freedom! Sheffield was slightly startled by the sound coming from the distance. It seemed that this paragraph was not in the script. It was the citizens of New Orleans who were watching around. Some old men shouted sparsely, which soon turned into a unified voice.
.
These cheers were so emotional that Sheffield, fearing that he would have to do it again, reined in his horse and pointed his riding crop northward and shouted, "Free Dixie people, go north and give the Yankees a hard time."
Finally completing his role, Sheffield endured three days of exposure and felt that he had never been so hard in his life. For the sake of the richest man in the United States, the slave owner left everyone to eat on this day, shouting that he would not drink or drink.
Drink, and eventually the person who drinks falls unconscious.
In the end, the slave owner was awakened by the high-decibel noise. He stared at the furious Natalia and said helplessly, "What's wrong? Are you going to scare me to death?"
"What's wrong with me?" Natalia pointed at Sheffield and said angrily and amusedly, "You look back?"
Sheffield looked back and saw Mary Pickford covering her white upper body and looking at him timidly?
"Natalia, you should calm down and listen to my explanation first." Sheffield cried sadly, he had no memory.
"I think you should have an explanation, but first understand the situation at hand." Natalia calmed down, looked at Mary Pickford with an unfriendly look, turned around and went out, "Don't worry, others don't know yet.
, Jesra’s men are very strict with their mouths.”
The door was slammed shut, and Sheffield only remembered that he said "I can't drink anymore", but his hands couldn't control the flow of water into his mouth. It was just that the faction was too tired and wanted to be wild once, but there was no such American sweetheart before the memory ended.
paragraph?
"I will definitely not be able to guard against all women in my life." Sheffield looked at Mary Pickford who was making a defensive posture, and he knew at a glance that the link that should have happened must have not been missed.
"I think you should have listened to what I said to you last time." Sheffield, who was still doing surface engineering, said, "I am already a middle-aged man and should not be your target."
"I want to give it a try." Mary Pickford made no secret of her thoughts, and said in an innocent tone with her eyes wide open, "You are not very old, and you need a young woman to take care of your life. I
I admire you. You can call tens of thousands of people to act in a show with just one sentence. Money is just a number to you. I can’t even imagine the people you mention casually. Now that I have met such a person, I can’t restrain myself from feeling like this.
idea."
"You are amazingly honest, you are a lot like me in this way." Sheffield stared at Mary Pickford carefully, and suddenly the conversation changed, "I didn't experience it yesterday, now try being a female star!" After that, Mary picked up.
·Pickford was pressed under him.
"Father!" Mary Pickford called softly in a very charming voice...
