This song was sung by Deng Lijun in later generations, and Lin Zixuan thought it was very suitable to use it here.

The audience was also immersed in the plot of the movie. When they heard this low and soothing song, they felt the fate of the characters in the play.

The curtain opened and Meng Xiaodong, wearing a cheongsam, walked out from behind.

After going through a national tour, her singing style is more natural, her typhoon is more stable, and she already has the style of a queen of the king.

This time she came back to record her second record. With two classic records as a base, even if other singers become popular in the future, it will be difficult to surpass her achievements.

After the song was sung, warm applause rang out in the theater.

This film was far beyond the audience's expectations. When they left, they were still discussing the plot in the movie.

These people are all celebrities. Once they have a good reputation, it is difficult for "Shanghai Holiday" to be popular.

This is indeed the case. The first group of viewers shared their experiences in watching the movie with their friends. Some newspaper practitioners returned to the newspaper office to publish articles and comment on the movie, and enthusiastic young people participated in it.

For a moment, it seemed that the whole of Shanghai was talking about this movie.

"Shanghai Holiday" not only tells a fairy tale love story, but also a film that promotes the scenery of Shanghai. It is also a positive energy propaganda without any suspicion of smear.

The Shanghai Municipal Government highly praised the movie and recommended that citizens watch it.

The newspaper analyzes and evaluates the movie from various angles.

Some people sigh for the fleeting love, some discuss the current marriage relationship from the theme of "Good Family", some study clothing trends from the heroine's clothing, and some introduce major attractions in Shanghai.

Both Chinese and foreigners think this is a good movie.

Among them, the view of love is more accepted by foreigners, and a movie viewing craze has been formed in the public concession.

Summer Pickel Luxury Cinema schedules three screenings of "Shanghai Holiday" every day, but on the third day, due to too many viewers, they had to arrange five screenings every day.

Even so, movie tickets are in short supply.

Based on the two yuan per VIP ticket and one yuan for ordinary ticket, it sold 1,500 yuan on the first day. On the third day, it increased to five games and even sold 3,000 yuan.

The income in a week is nearly 20,000 yuan.

Based on this situation, "Shanghai Holiday" may eventually create a pretty high box office record, exceeding 100,000 silver dollars.

In addition to the part distributed to the theater, Lin Zixuan and Dan Du Yu each can receive at least 30,000 yuan, and the cost of their shooting, plus the cost of advertising in the later stage, will not exceed 8,000 yuan.

This is robbing money!

No wonder movies are a huge profit-making industry.

The cost of "Shanghai Holiday" is quite high, because it requires setting up sets and designing costumes, there are many large scenes and a large number of extras.

Ordinary domestic movies are just randomly shot in a yard, most of which are short films of about twenty minutes.

The main expenses are film and actors’ salaries.

Earlier, the drama was filmed.

In 1905, China's first film, "Dingjun Mountain", was born in Fengtai Photo Studio in Beijing.

The famous Peking Opera veteran Tan Xin accompanied the camera to perform some of his best clips. The film was then taken to the bustling crowd of the Grand View Building in the front door, and the alley was empty.

This is the first film recorded by the Chinese themselves, marking the birth of Chinese films.

Later, when I filmed dramas and civilized dramas, I focused on stage performances, just put the camera there, there was no big scene and no shooting cost.

It was not until the past two years that Chinese filming was aligned with foreign countries and came out of indoor dramas.

For example, the feature film "Yan Ruisheng" screened on July 1, 1921 was the first feature film in China.

The video is adapted from real cases and has caused a sensation in Shanghai society.

In 1920, Yan Ruisheng, a Shanghai native who graduated from Zhendan University, was a villain in the foreign field. He was addicted to gambling and spent money like money.

The casino was frustrated and wanted to make a comeback. He borrowed an expensive diamond ring from the Tihong Pavilion and mortgaged it to the pawn shop for cash to buy horse racing lottery. If he failed, he lost all his capital and was unable to repay it. He was very upset and anxious.

One day, he met Wang Lianying, a famous prostitute, "Prime Minister of Huaguo", at his home of his friend Zhu Laowu.

When Yan Ruisheng saw her covered in precious ornaments, he suddenly thought of seeking money and killing her.

He thought hard and came up with a vicious plan: secretly buy anesthetics and ropes, and at the same time borrowed a high-end car from Zhu Laowu and invited Wang Lianying for a ride.

After Wang Lianying was tricked into getting into the car, Yan Ruisheng drove quickly and headed straight to the suburbs.

When I was traveling until midnight, the car stopped in Beixinjing, the suburbs of Shanghai, and the help of my friend Wu Chunfang, who had been waiting there.

The two used anesthetic cotton to knock Wang Lianying down to death, snatched the ornaments from her body, moved the corpse and wheat fields, and fled to Yan Ruisheng's father-in-law's house in Qingpu.

Yan Ruisheng was anxious and hid in Tibet. He fled to Songjiang, Jiangsu, Haizhou, Shandong, and other places. He finally couldn't escape the French Open. In July 1920, he was arrested by a captain at Xuzhou Railway Station.

He was later sentenced to death and was executed at the West Fort Playground in Longhua. There were many onlookers at the time.

College students fell into depravity, famous prostitutes died tragically, and were hunted thousands of miles away. This case gathered many eye-catching elements.

So, some people seized the business opportunity and joined the Commercial Press Activity Film Department to invest in filming movies.

Interestingly, most of these guys who filmed the movie were Yan Ruisheng’s former friends.

Among them, one volunteered to play Yan Ruisheng. One is that he looks very similar to Yan Ruisheng, and the other is that he has worked with Yan and can imitate Yan Ruisheng's words, deeds and smiles.

Moreover, the scene of Yan Ruisheng being shot in the end is real. They took the scene when Yan Ruisheng was shot and placed in the movie.

This incident was later made by film director Jiang Wen as "One Step Away".

The plot of "Yan Ruisheng" has a total of 100 minutes and was released in the Summertime Pianke Luxury Cinema. The box office revenue on the first day was as high as 1,300 silver dollars.

The next thing was even more extraordinary. Chinese and foreign people in Shanghai rushed to watch movies. Two shows in one night could no longer meet the needs, and the matinees were still full.

The video was screened for a week and earned more than 4,000 silver dollars.

However, the murder scenes in the movie caused dissatisfaction and protests among some viewers. Under the pressure of public opinion, "Yan Ruisheng" was banned from the screening of "Yan Ruisheng" in a small area.

As a result, "Yan Ruisheng" became the first banned film in China.

In fact, the Beiyang government is unable to establish a nationwide film censorship agency and establish censorship rules and regulations.

Folk education associations in Jiangsu, Shanghai and other places spontaneously organized "film review institutions", which could only play a role in supervision and condemnation and did not have the right to ban the film screening.

"Yan Ruisheng" was screened until 1924.

Lin Zixuan knew that this year was the year when Chinese films began to develop greatly, and the cost and box office of filming will become higher and higher in the future. This is a truly profitable industry.
