1.1378 We must first show the soft body to the Americans

"Why do you need to work together?" Before the casting assistant director Mrs. Katy spoke, female director Leni Rivenstale showed displeasure.

"For the Third Reich, we must first show our soft figure to the Americans." Hitler's mistress, Eva Blaun, the essentially "first lady" in the Third Reich, told him bluntly without any hesitation.

"For the sake of the empire, we can show the Americans a soft figure first." Female director Leni Rivenstad said in a surprising way: "Is the 'Revenge Weapons Project' really going to succeed?"

"Ah, that's it, Leni." As for who revealed this "top secret information" to female director Leni Rivenstaer, Hitler's mistress, and the "first lady" Eva Blaun in the Third Reich. Because as the "outstanding Germanic lady", Leni Rivenstaer has the absolute trust of the Third Reich. And as a "famous woman" who has gained huge power in a man-dominated world, "first lady" Eva Blaun would not be surprised that female director Leni Rivenstaer knew this "top secret information". How to say it, it's like there is no secret in the "famous circle".

"So we must first show our soft figure to the Americans to gain valuable time for the 'Revenge Weapons Project'." Female director Leni Rivenstale's eyes were clear and his expression was natural.

"First Lady" Eva Blaun gracefully put down the coffee cup: "I knew that everything could not be hidden from you, Leni."

"Since that's the case, there's no problem with co-production." As the most dazzling film angel in the Third Reich, female director Leni Rivenstale must have her own insistence: "But the premise is that, script, casting, shooting, editing, I don't need anyone to interfere."

"First Lady" Eva Blaun nodded solemnly: "Okay, Leni. Everything will be as you wish."

"I might go to the Far East to shoot in real scenes." Female director Leni Rivenstale began to bring into the plot.

"First Lady" Eva Blaun also knew: "Of course, so you have to build a 'Outstanding Lady'. It uses the most advanced technology of the Empire, with a 52-axis 40,000 horsepower and 128 meters long diesel-electric hybrid front."

"No, Eva. We will build the B-VIII uranium locomotive." Female director Leni Rifenstaer smiled: "It's the suggestion from the Propaganda Department."

"So that's it." Eva Blaun, the "first lady" who is also an outstanding lady in the Third Reich, certainly understood that female director Leni Rivenstale was actually implicitly informing her of the source of the "Revenge Weapons Project": "Luis Meyer, one of the founders of MGM, will go to Venice, Italy in early December to attend the opening ceremony of the 11th Venice International Film Festival. So, this is an excellent opportunity."

Speaking of which, in 1932, Mussolini founded the world's first international film festival - the Venice International Film Festival in the water city of Venice. As recognized as one of the three largest European film festivals with the longest history, it was 14 years earlier than the Cannes Film Festival and 19 years earlier than the Berlin Film Festival. At this time, the Venice Film Festival set up a special award, a comprehensive award, a "Biennial Festival Cup" and a "Mussolini Cup". The purpose is to allow filmmakers to exchange experiences, learn from each other, promote the development of film careers in various countries, and promote the film.

Workers' interactions and cooperation provide convenience for the development of film trade, so Mussolini is also known as the "father of the international film festival". In 1940, although Italy participated in World War II, the Venetian Film Festival was held as scheduled until it was closed between 1943 and 1945. The reason is also very simple. Mussolini's fascist government fell in 1943. The entire Italian society was completely reshuffled and demolished from top to bottom. The Venetian International Film Festival is of course no exception.

Under the "Battle of the Great Battle" "a cross-blog fusion time and space similar to the plot fragments of World War II", because the Battle of Sicily did not end as scheduled, Mussolini's fascist government was still stable. Therefore, with the natural growth of the plot, the 11th Venice International Film Festival, which should have been resumed in 1946, was advanced to 1943.

As for the famous Louis Meyer, one of the founders of MGM, he is even known as the "King of Hollywood". He was born in a Jewish family in Ukraine at the end of the 19th century and later took refuge in the United States. His keen business judgment allowed him to seize opportunities in time and achieve success step by step. Meyer's greatest contribution was to propose the establishment of the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences, as well as the later Academy Awards, the well-known Academy Awards.

In 1924, he became the executive head of MGM, the five major Hollywood film production companies. I don’t know if it was him who made MGM or MGM, the 30 years he took charge of MGM were the golden age of MGM and the best time in his life.

In the 1920s, nine major companies centered on Los Angeles: Warner, Columbia, Thunder, Republican, Paramount, MGM, United, Fox, Universal, etc. were established. The American film production industry has established a firm foothold. In order to make films, major companies hope to master big screen actors with the cheapest salary to make more profits, while cast members hope to get higher treatment. Film practitioners have repeatedly proposed negotiations with the factory, which made Mayer worried. The owners of the film company were afraid that actors would be more difficult to control after the union was established.

In 1926, at a banquet, the sophisticated Mayer delivered a moving speech, calling on Hollywood to establish an industry association for film producers, and evaluate the film itself. Without exception, these people were moved by his speech and signed documents. Mayer was also elected as the chairman of the Planning Committee of the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences. In 1927, this college that later had a profound impact on the film industry in the United States and mankind, the first academic institution of human films - "Academy of Film Arts and Sciences (Academy of Film Arts and Sciences)

The annual Oscars have become a grand event for filmmakers.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I would like to kneel on my knees and kiss the ground that talented people walk through." Hollywood will always remember this sentence Mayer said. In the 1930s and 1940s, under the leadership of Mayer, MGM entered its heyday, and the movie stars launched by MGM were also in groups - Gable, Vivien Leigh, Garbo, Qusay, Taylor, Crawford and other big stars, all of which were MGM's property. Mayer's relationship with movie stars is very subtle. He once yelled at a star: "I made you, and I can ruin you!"

However, in the 1950s, MGM also fell into a dilemma of being latecomers. Faced with this downturn and helpless, Meyer was resigned and occupied a position for more than 30 years. His sword grew old and his romantic life was dispersed. In loneliness and frustration, he passed away in desolation in 1958.

Speaking of which, in 1937, she used anesthetics to escape the control of her first husband from a family dinner. The female star who had not changed her stage name to "Heidi Rama" had just arrived in the UK. MGM founder Louis Mayer, who recruited actors in Europe, promised to hire her for a weekly salary of $125, but Heidi refused in person.

Because this is definitely an "insult price" for "Heidi Rama", who can be sold for millions of Empire Mark.

In fact, as the entertainment center of the entire continent, the third Empire's movie box office is definitely an amazing number to look at the world. In the 1930s, the million-dollar box office was already one of the criteria for measuring entertainment blockbusters. The record of the highest box office was constantly refreshed, reaching 6.5 million Empire Mark.

Referring to the 1940 Imperial Mark's exchange rate of 2.5:16.5 million Imperial Mark's huge box office of up to 2.6 million US dollars.

Therefore, "National Glory: The Battle" which is produced by Germany and Italy and gathers all European filmmakers will surely break the highest box office record of the Third Reich and only hit the box office record of tens of millions that "Gone with the Wind" has reached.
