Bulgarian Empire

After dealing with the problems in Portugal, Ferdinand was quickly attracted by a piece of news that a sound film was born!

There is no way that there are too few entertainment activities in this era. Whether it is aristocratic banquets, stage plays, music, or art, they are not Ferdinand's hobbies.

In addition to the influence of the previous life, the bigger reason is that he has no time to cultivate hobbies, which Ferdinand himself probably did not realize.

The kings of this era are not as leisurely as those of later generations. In the era of great ideological confusion, once Manuel II gave up his rights, he is an example. Put your hopes on the integrity of politicians and wait for exile!

Oh, if you are unlucky and meet a ruthless character, it is not impossible to go on the guillotine!

There is also the pressure of the world war. Under the pressure of survival, Ferdinand was forced to work hard to strengthen Bulgaria's national strength in order to control his own destiny.

... (The above is pure nonsense)

The birth of sound films marked the approaching era of the film industry, and Ferdinand knew it was time to develop Bulgaria's film industry.

After all, for cultural output, movies come faster! Traditional books, music, and art can only affect a small number of people, but movies can affect the whole world!

Cinema had entered Bulgaria as early as 1896, when it caused a sensation in Sofia.

Since then, movies have taken root in Bulgaria, and Ferdinand also established a special film company. Now dozens of movies are born here every year, and then promoted to the world.

However, since there are only images and no sound, the plot has to be greatly restricted. Things that are too complicated cannot be expressed through body language! At the same time, it also restricted Ferdinand's private goods and restricted Bulgaria's cultural output.

Oh, it's not that Ferdinand is not prepared to climb the technology tree, after all, the technology content of this thing is very low. Early sound films, that is, added a gramophone to link sound and picture.

However, due to the outbreak of the first Balkan War, Ferdinand was quickly forgotten, and it was only now that he accidentally remembered it.

Movies of this era have not yet attracted people's attention, and they only regard him as an entertainment tool, and Ferdinand is not going to make too much noise.

"Little Karl, tell the film company to make more films about the history of Bulgaria. Those that have already been filmed can also be artistically processed and added with sound, and then go to Eastern Europe again!" Ferdinand ordered

"Okay, Your Majesty! I'll do it right away." After speaking, Carl saluted Ferdinand, turned and left.

Little Karl is actually not young at all, he is even older than Ferdinand, but in order to distinguish old Karl, Ferdinand still calls it that.

That's right, he is the son of Carl Sr., who took over after Carl Sr. retired three years ago. Oh, according to Ferdinand, by the generation of Carl Jr., this has been the eighth generation housekeeper for their family.

Under normal circumstances, it will continue. When Karl gets older, his son will still take over. As for whether the position is a housekeeper, it depends on Ferdinand's arrangement at that time.

This is also a tradition. The education they have received since childhood is to be loyal to the Kohali family, learn how to be a good housekeeper, and serve the Kohali family.

Whether it is loyalty or ability, Ferdinand is more reassuring than others. Of course, he has no intention of changing this tradition!

Cultural export, Ferdinand also divided the focus, first the Balkan Peninsula, followed by Eastern Europe, then the European continent, and finally the Americas and Asia. As for other regions, they were naturally ignored.

Africa in this era is a colony, and there is nothing to spread; Oceania has not yet opened up, and there are few people at all, so it is not economical; Antarctica only has penguins, and the great mission of teaching penguins to learn culture, Ferdinand decided to stay. Good for others!

Anyway, there are no restrictions on the movies of this era, as long as they don't promote revolutionary ideas,

It can be circulated all over the world.

Oh, and overall, film output is still a loss-making business! In many places, film companies had to organize manpower to show movies to locals for free.

The main reason is that the people are too poor. Even if the movie is shown in the open air and the ticket price is very low, they still look down on it. This situation is especially serious in Eastern Europe.

But it doesn't matter. Originally, Ferdinand was all for the export of cultural values, and it didn't matter whether he made money or not.

...

The above sentence, the next one will run away!

Andreev is a professional film projectionist in Delphi, but he does not work in a cinema in the city, but travels from house to house, showing films to people in the countryside.

At first, the film company went to the countryside to promote the film in order to promote it. More than ten years have passed in a flash, and now people are used to this kind of entertainment, and the rich people in the country are also used to showing a movie when celebrating.

Playing a movie now is also a symbol of the identity of the rich. After all, in this day and age, showing movies is also very troublesome. All of Andreyev's belongings add up to a large carriage!

The price is naturally not cheap. Basically, the cost of showing a movie is the entire income of ordinary Delphi workers for half a year without food or drink. For ordinary people, this is still a very extravagant thing.

So Andreyev's business is not good. When there is no business, he will also show in the square in the city. Hundreds of people watch each time. The screening can earn hundreds of levs a night, which is barely enough. to break even.

He used to worry that if the profit was not good, the film company would lay off employees and tell him to leave, but after more than ten years, none of this happened, and Andreyev gradually felt relieved.

After all, compared with before, it is now profitable. In Andreev's view, the big shots in the film company are all discerning, and it can take more than ten years to cultivate the market!

It is said that in the movie theaters in the city, there are hundreds of levs in income for every movie shown, and thousands of levs in the account every day, which makes Andreyev envious.

I often dream that when he shows a movie, he can still have such a high income. At that time, the commission of each movie will make him a rich man!

But it is different now. Andreev, like many Greeks, is worried about the situation in Greece.

Since the failure of the Greek-Turkish War more than ten years ago, the lives of the Greek people have been difficult. After the failure of the Second Balkan War, it is really hard to live!

The government's taxes are getting heavier, and now Andreev has fewer opportunities to go out to show movies. He dare not go to places farther away, because he has to pay tolls several times, and he can't make money at all. To the money!

These are all sequelae of the tax package system. Affected by this, it can be said that the industry and commerce in Greece have been destroyed, and a small number of factories had to close their doors and go out of business.

There were more and more unemployed people, prices began to soar, cities became depressed, film companies were about to close their doors, and Andreev was very worried that he would lose his job too.

He really loves this job. Although it is a bit hard to go out and run around frequently, the film company treats him really well. He has never deducted a penny from his salary, and he can do it every month. Get paid in full.

This was already very rare at the time, and Andreev also cherished this job very much, and he planned to keep doing it.

But the current situation made him very worried. There were fewer and fewer people watching movies. Even though his ticket price was already very cheap, it was still unaffordable for the unemployed!

loss! Since the end of the Second Balkan War, Andreev knew that the film company was losing money. The sign is that the cinemas in the city are no longer open for business every day!

Not to mention people like him who wandered around the countryside. He and several colleagues have talked about this issue. Everyone's life is similar, and they haven't received any business recently.

A month ago, they didn't have to show movies at the screening booth in the open-air square, because the box office was not enough for the electricity bill!

Today was Sunday, and the film company informed him to go to a meeting. Andreev got up very early, and came outside the office with a very anxious heart, waiting for the door to open.

"Andreyev, are you here so early?"

It was Andreyev's friend and colleague Iliv Peter who greeted him, and it was obvious that he had also just arrived.

"Didn't you come too? The current situation is difficult. I'm afraid we will lose our jobs this time. Can you come earlier?" Andreyev said with a wry smile

What he said was a bit messy. Unemployment and coming early seem to have no necessary connection!

But Elif Peter nodded and said with an expression uglier than crying: "I hope Syria also needs film projectionists, otherwise we will say goodbye to this job!"

It can be seen that Elif Peter loves this job very much. Even though he knew that he might lose his job, he was not prepared to make a big fuss in the film company.

In this day and age, film companies are already considered conscientious enterprises, and it is still very good for them!

Although the wages are not very high, they always get a commission when they go out to show movies, and their usual income is still quite good, much higher than that of ordinary workers.

Therefore, they still have some family background to some extent, and in the face of soaring prices, they can still support it for the time being.

"If the prices remain so high and we lose our jobs, I really don't know where we can go except Syria?" Andreev said with a wry smile

Their wealth is limited. Apart from being able to travel to Syria, they can only immigrate to the Ottoman Empire or the Kingdom of Montenegro, or go to Bulgaria or Italy to work.

There are no restrictions in these places, but the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Montenegro were excluded by them first. It is estimated that the life of the local people is not much better than them, and it is difficult to find a job!

Italy is not a good place to go. The unemployment rate is still high. Where can they get the turn of these migrants?

Bulgaria is the easiest place to find a job. As long as you are willing to mine, it is really easy to find a job. Most Greeks are not willing to suffer that!

Of course, the more important thing is that the two countries have just had a war, and most people still have knots in their hearts, and they can't get over this hurdle in their hearts, so when thinking about this issue, they deliberately ignore it!

Oh, that’s the end of the conversation. The film company has regulations prohibiting participation in politics. The reason is: Art has no borders. If filmmakers participate in politics, they will become impure and betray the essence of art!

Although they don't know why there is this rule, they still consciously abide by it. Anyway, they are all small people and cannot participate in national affairs.

According to Ferdinand's consistent style, it is of course impossible to bear the charge of extortionate extortion by the Greek government.

The most suitable blame man is undoubtedly an international capitalist. Now in order to repay international loans, the Greek government has to increase taxes, this is the official explanation!

Even the Greek government has disclosed every fiscal revenue and expenditure, just to transfer hatred. There is no way for the creditors to ask for money, so they have to pay it back!

The deeper reason is that the blame has been passed on to the previous and previous governments. They borrowed the debts indiscriminately, and now we have to pay them back. There is really no way for the government to increase taxes!

Now public opinion in Greece has been regulated, newspapers that dare to talk nonsense have been shut down, and the people involved in the case don't know whether they went to meet God or Satan?

Anyway, the views of public opinion in Greece are very consistent now, and it is because of debt repayment that the current embarrassing situation is caused!

With Ferdinand's selfless efforts, if the Greeks have learned their lesson, they will probably get rid of the bad habit of borrowing money indiscriminately. I don't know if this is good or bad?

At eight o'clock in the morning, the door of the film company opened, and the manager of Delphi City, Solkov, walked in after a while. Seeing his face full of glory, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the result will not be too bad.

Everyone greeted Solkov very politely, and hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at him expectantly, hoping that he would bring good news.

Without further ado, Solkov said straight to the point: "I want to tell you the good news, our jobs are temporarily saved!

The board of directors believes that a qualified company must have a sense of social responsibility. After careful research, it was decided: In view of the current economic situation in Greece, everyone should work together to tide over the difficulties, so Wedel Films decided not to lay off employees! "

As soon as Solkov finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from below. Obviously, this is undoubtedly good news for everyone!

As for the sense of responsibility of social enterprises, everyone is no stranger to it. We all know that it came from our neighbor Bulgaria. Although the relationship between the two countries is not good, it does not prevent them from agreeing with this view!

After a while, Salkov said again: "In view of the current bad situation in Greece, the company specially produced an inspiring public welfare film, and our next job is to show this film to the public for free.

It is the responsibility of each of us filmmakers to let as many Greek people see this film as possible, arouse their fighting spirit, and work hard for a better life tomorrow! "

...

They didn't know that Ferdinand's order saved their jobs. Originally, Wedel Film Company was about to give up the Delphi market, but now there was another turning point.

As one of the pawns to promote the export of Bulgarian culture to the Greek peninsula, of course he has to listen to the command of the boss.

As for the theme of this charity film? Of course it is to tell the Greeks that Syria is not that bad, and there are still large tracts of farmland waiting for them to plant?

The purpose is very simple, it is to appease people's hearts, let the Greeks take the initiative to go to Syria, so that the current situation on the Greek peninsula will not get out of control!

As for whether anyone will see it, Ferdinand is sure that any smart person can see the theme of this movie, but since he is a smart person, how can he say it?

After all, for the unemployed, staying on the Greek peninsula is already a dead end. Without a source of livelihood, how can they survive?

If you object to their leaving, then you must find a way to feed them, otherwise internal chaos will explode sooner or later. For your own benefit, even if you know it, you can't say it!
