Chapter 123: The birth of the world's first film

   The trailer for "The Count of Monte Cristo" is shown on the screen, which lasts more than four minutes, and the plot is cut to the time when the Count of Monte Cristo was arrested and imprisoned.

The trailer was supposed to be released earlier, because the background music problem delayed a lot of time. After all, the Brenda Theatre Company is a theatre company. The band that comes with it is barely formal, but it is definitely far from Harvey's. Asked, the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce went all the way to get a high-level classical orchestra for Harvey, and spent a few weeks running in and playing the background music of the trailer.

  The background music is a classical ensemble, with the violin as the main part. It is sorrowful and sorrowful. Most of the rhythm is pulled in a hurry and fast in line with the plot. Listening to it like a tightrope makes people feel sweaty.

   People in this world don't even know what a movie is, but at this moment they saw a trailer full of modern lens cutting style.

Readers who are familiar with the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" must know what the trailer is talking about. It is the content of the Count of Monte Cristo before his imprisonment. It tells that he became a prisoner from the best time in his life. The cut between the shots The cutting angle is very sharp. In just three minutes, the content explains all the conflicts of interest that occurred around the Count of Monte Cristo. The discourses between different characters overlap with each other, highlighting the sharpness of the conflicts of interest of the characters, and create a background music. A coherent and depressing atmosphere.

This is basically a common shooting method for most modern movie trailers. Whatever the selling point is, the trailers of Hollywood blockbusters will show off the special effects that burn money in addition to the plot conflicts. In fact, this is also the Hollywood blockbuster movie. Important points.

   After thousands of years of hard work and hundreds of years of experience, the film propaganda method developed by Harvey is used in this world without film foundation.

  The effect is undoubtedly the nuclear bomb level!

The world’s first cinema on the earth appeared earlier than the first movie. This was due to the limitation of technology. At that time Edison invented the imperfect "projector" and founded the first cinema on Broadway in New York, USA. At that time, the movie theater sold very few tickets. As a result, the theater was crowded with people, and the entire Broadway street was surrounded by water. People were proud of seeing the movie, even if it was just a glance.

What really showed the film’s charm was that a year later, the Lumière brothers used their own camera and projector to play "The Train Arrived" in a cafe in Paris, France. A reporter present reported: "A carriage was flew away. The running horse ran towards me, and a female guest sitting next to me was so frightened by the sight that she suddenly stood up."

   That era was in the era of technological revolution. People were accustomed to novelties but still marveled at the birth of movies.

   At that time, there were only simple black and white pictures, and the number of frames was far from enough to deceive the naked eye, but it had already caused an incredible sensation. This world also has similar technologies. People have long lost the novelty of projection technology. They know the meaning of the so-called projection, but after all, there is no finished product like the earth.

The more so, the more impressive the effect of the promotional film of "The Count of Monte Cristo" is to show the audience an unprecedented world in a rude manner, a visual art that has reached the limit of their imagination, and a kind of visual art that has been taken by them. The projection art that is familiar but displayed in a completely different way!

Innovative art was performed by Harvey with unconstrained means to produce the trailer of "Count of Monte Cristo". The impact force made all the onlookers suffocate and concentrate, for fear that the sound of their breathing would disturb the projection of the strange picture in front of them. People’s eyes are full of curiosity about new things, and the search for what the picture can show.

  The picture is colorful, and the vivid colors give it an unparalleled sense of reality. The screen seems to be a gateway for the audience to cross another world.

   The audience heard the muffled sound of the ocean waves at the bustling station, and saw the vast ocean, and they seemed to smell the smell of the sea.

The magnificent and intense background music in this era can only be heard in theaters. Now everyone is unwilling to listen to this art-level music. Their attention is attracted by the picture. They try to parse every meaning of the picture. Indulge in the door of this new world.

Sandra is one of them. She was very lucky. The first time she got into the crowd, it happened to be the turn of the trailer for "The Count of Monte Cristo". The internal photographic crystal of this projector stored a lot of videos, most of them were The series of samples Harvey and Kenneth used to test their hands, including documentaries such as "A Sailor's Day", "Daily at the Theater", and "Cross Street".

Sandra hadn’t reacted after watching the promo of "The Count of Monte Cristo". She didn’t know what these were. When she realized it, she missed the opportunity to watch. It's like a meteor that suddenly appeared, but she missed it When to make a wish. The huge screen began to play the next documentary. In fact, many people marveled at these peculiar images as she did, and then it took a long time to realize that the screen was playing exactly the plot content of the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo".

   In the crowded crowd, the middle-aged gentleman standing at the forefront of the crowd said with bated breath: "It's amazing, is this a door to another world? That's why I can see such a real and beautiful picture."

The girl who joined the fun stared at the screen with both eyes beaming: "Oh~Count! It turned out to be the Count of Monte Cristo! He is as handsome as I thought~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I wish I was the Haidée who could go far and high with the count. "

   "Is that the story of the earl being framed and imprisoned? I'm so nervous watching it, my God~ this music made me have a heart attack."

   "This is much better than the drama, but it's a bit short."

   "What the **** is this? Does the projection show what really happened? Oh! I just thought that the ship was about to rush out of the screen and hit me."

After a short silence, the audience whispered and discussed quietly, marveling at the novelty. Many bears squeezed in front of them. If it weren't for the glass shield, they would curiously flip over the projection cloth to see if the back was true. There is another world in the possession.

   After the trailer of "The Count of Monte Cristo" was played, none of the audience had the intention to leave, and stayed and watched the carousel with relish.

   Sandra was also watching, but all her mind was attracted by the trailer just now, and she wanted to concentrate on watching it again.

   "Rumble~"

   The heavy sound of the train's steam engine sounded, and Sandra knew that this was the one she was going to ride in, but she couldn't take her gaze away from the screen in front of her. Everyone was the same. As soon as she bit her silver teeth, she planned to find a hotel in El Roy to stay overnight. The expensive accommodation fee was used as a ticket to this visual feast, and she gave it willingly.

   However, the incoming train did not leave for a long time. It was not that the train didn't want to leave, but the track was full of spectators. Some people simply climbed to the top of the carriage and looked at the screen here.

   A similar situation occurred in all areas of El Roy where projection screens were installed.

   The city center train station, the central square, the street in front of the Elroy Library, every place was surrounded by crowds.
