Crazy, 500 yuan also dare to make a science fiction blockbuster

"Unfortunately, I was born in the era when black and white movies died, but at the same time I was lucky because I was able to witness the glory of the film industry."

"I was born into a film family, my father and even my grandfather made films, so even in a time when black-and-white films were being largely destroyed, I was still able to see a lot of great black-and-white films."

"But when I was an adult and wanted to collect these things, people had already destroyed him."

"All I can find are some fragments that I bought cheaply in the garbage bin."

"I try to find where they came from and put them back together."

"Of all the reels here, not a single film is complete, not even a single film longer than five minutes."

Having said this, the old man sighed helplessly again.

"My father and grandfather had a good collection of movies, but then something happened to them."

"What's the matter?" Ye Heng asked curiously, he found that he seemed to be immersed in this story.

The old man smiled, "At that time, color films had just emerged and hadn't become the mainstream. My father and grandfather owned the whole of Europe, oh no, it should be the largest black and white film studio in the entire world."

"They thought that color movies would not become mainstream right away, and there was still a lot of time for black-and-white movies, so they went on to shoot black-and-white movies, and then developed a machine to shoot black-and-white movies."

Having said this, the old man sighed, although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were full of helplessness.

"Three years, in only three years, our world's largest black and white film studio went bankrupt."

"Everything in the family was bought by a color film studio, and then they did something that I will never forget as long as I live."

The old man's originally clear eyes suddenly became cloudy, and everything was eroded by anger.

"They piled up all the negatives of the black-and-white movies we shot, took them out, piled them up into a hill, and finally lit a fire."

"Huh~~" The old man used the voice that most imitated the flame.

"That little fire burned everything, all the good things in my memories."

"And after being burned by the fire, the only thing left is a mass of melted and re-condensed waste, and..."

"The countless broken hearts of the Lumiere family."

Chapter 404 Ancient Ruins

The moment Ye Heng heard the name, he felt a bang in his head, and looked at the old man in front of him in disbelief.

"You, you just said Lumiere!"

"Oh, look at me, I've been talking to you for so long, but I haven't told you my name, my name is Lusta Lumiere!"

"Brother Lumiere!"

Lusta looked at Ye Heng, obviously stunned for a moment, but then seemed to think of something, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"You, know this surname?"

"Everyone who studies film should not forget this name, nor should they forget "The Train Into the Station"."

As soon as Ye Heng finished speaking, Lusta's tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"How do you know? How do you know? . . . "

Lusta said over and over again, tears could not stop flowing out, he was so fragile at that moment.

At this time, Ye Heng was a little at a loss, not knowing where his words just now made Lusta in front of him cry.

After a long time, Lusta wiped away his tears, and stared at Ye Heng with red and swollen eyes, and there were mixed feelings in those eyes.

"I thought people were forgetting..."

"The surname is no longer mentioned in textbooks, and it has been forgotten with all its glory."

"I used to fight hard, even just to leave my family's imprint on a third-rate magazine."

"But then, even I myself accepted it all, accepted that the history of the family was forgotten."

Speaking of this, Lusta couldn't help laughing, the smile was so helpless.

But Ye Heng felt more surprised at this time.

It stands to reason that people usually remember the first person, no matter what.

The highest peak in the world is Mount Everest, Gagarin was the first person to fly into space, and Armstrong was the first person to land on the moon.

And as the "No.1" who made the movie, it is impossible for the Lumiere brothers to be forgotten!

At this time, Ye Heng suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had known that he would have stayed in Qingsong University for a few more years, at least he had figured out the film history of this world.

"Can you tell me where you heard this from?"

"Forgotten in my memory, people seem to have dropped the name a long time ago."

Ye Heng thought for a while, obviously he couldn't tell him the truth.

"It's a book I read when I was a child, an ancient book. I saw the surname of the Lumière family and "The Train Enters the Station" from it."

"It's just that I don't know where the book is now."

Lusta nodded, "It's okay, just let him be forgotten, it doesn't matter."

Hearing this, Ye Heng couldn't help feeling a bit sad.

"I still can't understand why people forget these things, which shouldn't be forgotten."

Ye Heng couldn't help asking, he really couldn't think of a reasonable explanation, and couldn't accept all of this.

But Lusta just smiled lightly, "All this really shouldn't have happened, but it happened."

"My dad used to tell me all about it."

Lusta began to tell Ye Heng.

"It wasn't long before I was born that color movies and television were born."

"A group of businessmen saw a market for these things and started promoting them heavily."

"There were 10 of the largest studios in the world at the time, and they worked with eight of them."

"They went to our fathers and asked them to shut down black and white and start making color."

"But my father was unwilling and insisted on staying in the black-and-white film market, because he was already used to those black-and-white colors."

Lusta sighed helplessly.

"But at that time, color movies were constantly quantified to force-feed the market, and at the same time, a large number of black and white movies were destroyed and banned."

"Because they know that these rush-made color movies are not better than black and white movies except for the picture."

"And my father insisted on making black-and-white films, and that was against them."

"So they ran to cooperate with those theaters."

After saying this, he was silent for a while.

"In three full years, my father's company made six films, each of which is extremely beautiful and has the best plot."

"But in the end, because no theaters were willing to show it, they simply destroyed us."

"As a punishment, they are not allowed to see the surname of the Lumiere family on any relevant materials."

Hearing this, Ye Heng couldn't help frowning.

"Can they still control this?"

But Lusta just smiled lightly, "As long as you have money, you can do everything with money."

Ye Heng was silent and didn't say another word.

"Stop talking about that, let's watch the movie."

After finishing speaking, he asked Ye Heng to transfer "Schindler's List" into the machine, and it started playing.

Several people sat in the auditorium and watched the movie quietly.

After 80 years, Lusta sat in the auditorium and watched a complete black and white movie again.

He looked at the exquisite picture on the screen, every shot was so perfect.

All this made him feel unbelievable.

He watched the movie quietly, tears streaming down unconsciously.

Especially when the little girl in the red dress appeared in the movie, at that moment, he only felt that the whole person was proved.

That touch of red was so dazzling, dazzling enough to be deeply engraved in his mind, and he would never forget it until death.

When the movie ended, Lust was already in tears.

"I forgot how long I haven't seen such a black and white movie."

As Luster said, he looked at Ye Heng with a smile on his face.

"Thank you."

Ye Heng smiled lightly but shook his head, "No, I should thank you."

"I couldn't have made a film like this without your machine."

After hearing this, Ke Luster also shook his head.

"Those machines in my hands are just toys, expensive toys."

"Only in your hands can they play their role and they can create such a work of art."

After that, the two chatted for a long time, until late at night, and Ye Heng left after dinner.

Before leaving, Ye Heng looked at the ancient castle.

According to the current aesthetics, at least for most people, this castle is not beautiful, even a bit old-fashioned and outdated.

But it was like this when it was built, and now there is no way to carry out too many repairs.

But even so, there are still some people who love it here.

These fascinating ancient ruins...

Chapter 405

The next day, Ye Heng submitted the script outline of "Amelie".

Everyone in the White Flag State was very satisfied with this, without the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.

And this movie is also the easiest one Ye Heng has made since he started the Belt and Road Initiative.

It's not a long tome, and it doesn't require any special technology, and there are no more requirements.

This is an extremely simple movie. From shooting, to editing, to post-production, everything is so simple and done in one go.

It only took Ye Heng one and a half months to complete all this, which can be considered quite fast.

While he was filming "Amelie", the first part of "War and Peace", his first work to participate in the Belt and Road Initiative, was officially released worldwide.

The movie was divided into four parts, just like Ye Heng's original arrangement.

However, Mao Xiongguo made some changes in the release. They changed the release time from the original monthly release to half a month.

In this way, it may happen that one movie steals the box office of another movie.

But from another point of view, if people who want to watch the second part are afraid that they will forget the plot, they can buy a movie ticket for the first part on the same day.

It's actually pretty good to think about it that way.

After the first "War and Peace" was released, it immediately set off a wave of enthusiasm around the world.

"Damn it! Have you watched "War and Peace"! It's so wonderful!"

"That battlefield picture! That tens of thousands of people on the battlefield, can you believe it! And I heard that they are all real shots! It's just amazing!"

"I heard that some of the grenades used in it seem to be real. In order to make this movie, Mao Xiongguo also used military land and fighter jets!"

"Above, just blow it up, use troops and fighter jets to make a movie? Why don't you just say that they built a city for the movie?"

But not long after this comment was posted, netizens responded immediately.

"Hey, guess what, Huo Maoxiong really built a city one by one, and it started building four or five years ago!"

"I just checked, that city seems to be open recently, and I can travel directly there, my family!"
