Subtitle of this chapter: The most impressive movie in history

"The world's first commercial audio film, "Twelvepeople", was filmed at the end of 1920. It took only a week to complete the entire film of the one and a half hours of filming. Part of the credit should be attributed to the photographer of the film, Mr. Victor Fleming, who knew nothing about audio filming equipment, was able to use these new technical equipment easily in just five days. Later, he became a famous director."

"The director of this film is Ms. Lilian Gish, a famous Hollywood female star. With this film, she became the second true female director in history..." (Translator's note 1)

Translator's note 1: The world's first female director was Aliceguy (1873-1968). Throughout her entire film life, she participated in the production of more than 1,000 movies. Alice initially worked in France and played a key role in the development of drama filming. After getting married in 1905, she moved her career to the United States and founded the Solax Film Company there. Before Hollywood appeared, it was the largest film production company in the United States. Of course, her works mostly include short films and silent films. Her main works include "The Last Supper", "The Funny", "The Lost Garden".

"Of course, in addition to the title of the world's first commercial audio film, the film "Twelve People" has another unsurpassable point, that is its gorgeous screenwriter lineup. More than a hundred years since the birth of the film, no film has been able to participate in the creation of so many celebrities in the literary world. This film is also the beginning of the film aesthetic genre called "intellectual film" or "writer film"..."

——Excerpt from "A Brief History of World Movies"

"Ladies and gentlemen. It's right here and now, let's be screenwriters together!"

Our Master Yuan said this and everyone present calmed down, thinking about what his words meant. How could this movie screenwriter still "be together"?

The movies in 1920 are indeed not on the table, but they are quite popular as a new thing. Yuan Yanshu's idea of ​​"not seeking the best, but seeking the most expensive." The prototype of high-end cinema theaters has appeared in major American cities. These "cinemapalaces" target customers are people above the middle class.

Even if Yuan Yan did not tinker with high-end cinemas, this thing would become popular in the mid-to-late 1920s and became one of the symbols of the "jazz era". Moreover, the taste of the American people is quite similar to the Cialis a hundred years later. These movie palaces are so gorgeous that when children go there for the first time, they will ask their parents, is this paradise?

When Master Yuan saw everyone looking at each other, he knew that they had not kept up with their ideas and wanted to demonstrate it in person.

He pressed the female star on a chair and said to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen. This is our defendant, Mrs. Dempsh."

Master Yuan turned his head and whispered to Miss Jish, "Lilian, now you have become the defendant of murder. Do you understand?"

This female star, who was definitely not stupid, finally understood what her lover meant, and her whole temperament changed immediately. She changed from a big star who was so arrogant to a pitiful weak woman. Her face showed a nervous expression and her body posture seemed so weak, looking at everyone present uneasy like a scared pitiful little animal.

"Okay, the trial has ended. Now it's time for the jury to discuss the case."

Under Yuan Yanshu's command, everyone made a clearing space in the middle of the venue, and the waiters placed 12 chairs.

He looked around everyone and suddenly raised his hand to point at one of them and said, "Judge No. 1... is you!"

Mr. Theodore Deresey was also surprised. But before he could react with everyone, Master Yuan walked to him and asked very seriously: "Judge No. 1, what is your profession?"

"I am..." After all, Mr. Dresse was one of the three major writers in the 20th century. He had already understood the meaning of this Chinese and began to seriously consider this issue.

He touched his chin and thought for a while, "I am...well, I am the hotel foreman!"

"What about except the hotel foreman?" Yuan Yan suddenly saw the other party picking up "Lingzi" like this, and immediately instructed her.

Mr. Dresse began to build his character: "Well, I should have a wife and three children, but the family relationship is not very harmonious..."

Our Master Yuan interjected: "So you have an affair with the waitresses like all the hotel foremen!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

"Hahaha..." The great writer laughed, but he nodded and said, "That's right, I have an affair with the waitress like all the hotel bosses."

Yuan Yan suddenly pointed at the pitiful Miss Jixu and asked, "So do you think our defendant is guilty?"

"This is not easy to say, but..." Mr. Dresse pondered again as he looked at the big star with excellent acting skills, "but women can do anything when they get crazy..."

Our Master Yuan interjected again: "Just like your wife acted when she discovered your relationship?"

The great writer nodded and said, "That's right, just like my wife wants to kill me when she finds out my affair."

Yuan Yan suddenly said to everyone: "Now we have juror No. 1, a hotel foreman who had an affair with the waitress."

"Hahaha……"

"Smack it..."

Having said that, no matter how stupid the person is, he understands what this Chinese means. They smiled and applauded, watching him select the second juror with great anticipation.

"Judge No. 2...Mr. Brown is you."

"Me?" The president of New York University Press was also curious because of this episode, so he didn't leave for the time being. Unexpectedly, Yuan Yan suddenly arrested a "strong man".

"Yes, a harmonious family, noble morals but a bit old-fashioned... Well, Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown, what do you think?"

"That's it..."

In fact, our Master Yuan wanted to take this opportunity to get along with this boss, so he gave a pretty good character. Without waiting for Mr. Brown to refuse, he asked directly: "Judge No. 2, do you think our defendant is guilty?"

The president, who soon got into the show, frowned and thought, "It should be a guilty person. This woman is not only affair but also a lie, and the suspicion is indeed very high."

"Verygood! Mr. Brown, please sit here with Mr. Dresse."

Yuan Yan looked around and said, "Okay, we now have two jurors, one foreman of the hotel and the other for principal of the middle school."

"Will anyone sign up voluntarily next?"
