Chapter 7 Make a porn movie if you want to make it?!
When Berg came, Gans and I were discussing the movie in the yard. Seeing the two of us holding an apple in our hands, the guy sat down and reached out to snatch one from Gans's hand.
"Fatty, have you asked for money?" Gans smiled flatteringly.
"Give it, a total of 38,000 yuan. My father sponsored 20,000 yuan. Ten thousand yuan is my own. Let me tell you, my father has said that he is a steel bang this year and will not give it to me again. In other words, I will rely on myself in the future! Brothers, don't smash this movie." Berg looked at Gans and me with a wry smile on his face.
"Don't you think the boss and I are discussing." Gans gave Berg a blank look.
"Andre, did your dad give you money?" Berg blinked his little eyes.
"Give it, this time my mom even takes jewelry! With your money, we have a total of 50,000 yuan, which is 10,000 more than the 40,000 yuan we expected. The money has been obtained. If it goes down, it depends on us." I let out a sigh and pinched the joints and said, "You are both here, discuss what movie we are going to make?"
"Of course, it's like Porter and Cruz, riding a horse and driving a revolver, and it's so majestic! It's definitely popular!" Gans circled his hands and called out to the protagonist in the western film.
"No, no, I think it's time to make movies and make funny movies. You can watch those movies of Lianmei and Kaishi, but many people have watched them!" Berg originally liked to watch comedy movies and did not agree with Gans' proposal at all.
“No one watches comedy!”
"No one can watch a movie like you!"
The two of them started arguing with each other.
I looked at the two of them and couldn't help but shake my head.
"Boss, don't be as good as a stone, but say something." Berg argued that he was not Gans's opponent, so he could only turn to me for help.
I coughed and cleared my throat, and said, "Gans, you said you should shoot westerns like Porter, but did you think of filming like that. We have to rent horses and rent firearms. We need to shoot mobile shots when shooting gun battles. We have to have a dedicated photography car. Moreover, such movies require at least dozens of actors. Not only do they have to pay them, but they also provide them with food, drink, defecation, and sleep. I'll ask you, are these things that are enough for us to make money?"
Gans was speechless when I asked. The fat man saw Gans hanging his head, and he looked gloating.
"Fatty, don't be too proud, we can't make comedy movies." My lips raised and looked at Fatty.
"Why?" The fat man opened his eyes wide and felt incredible.
I had to enlighten him: "You think, making such a movie requires a high level of performance. We can't find such actors for a while. Even if we find them, we can't afford to pay for others. Besides, this kind of movie has now been played by Chaplin and Keaton. When people mention comedy, they will think of them. If we make such a movie and no one watches it, then that wouldn't it be a smash."
Just kidding, if Chaplin still wants to make comedy movies, wouldn’t that be a show of his skills?! I don’t want to waste the first original capital I finally got.
"This is not OK, that is not OK. Boss, tell me what to do?! Brothers, do it this time!" Berg rolled up his sleeves, and Gans also squinted his little eyes at me meaningfully.
If you want to make a fortune with just 50,000 US dollars, you have to innovate and shoot films that no one has ever filmed at this time. Only in this way can you make a fortune.
In Hollywood in the 1920s, many films in later generations still don’t even have a shadow.
Horror movies? No, Paramount has made several films before, but the response is not very good, and the audience is very resistant. Disaster movies? No, it requires a lot of stunts. There is absolutely no trick without a computer. Suspense movies? No, this thing has high requirements for the shooter, and it may not be able to control it with the three of us who are new to it.
After thinking about it, I finally denied many of the types. Fatty and Gans were also anxious when they saw me frowning. In the end, the two guys simply took out the cigarette box from their pockets and smoked them.
I looked at the cigarette box and slapped my thighs with excitement: "I have it!"
Gans was so scared that he sat down on the ground and shouted, "Boss, are you still so surprised that you can live?!"
The fat man ignored Gans' life and death and delivered the cigarette in his hand to me, and said with a smile: "Boss, hurry up and tell me, and show me the way for the brothers."
I took the cigarette, took a hard breath, and then spit out a circle before pointing at the cigarette box and said, "Just shoot this!"
The fat man and Gans looked at the cigarette box at the same time, which was a blonde with very few clothes on it.
Tobacco companies in Los Angeles came up with many ideas in order to increase the sales of cigarettes. One of them was to specially produce a batch of cigarettes with pornographic girls printed on cigarette boxes, but as soon as they were launched, they were sold out and made a lot of money.
The United States in 1925 and the United States in the Twenty-One World were simply two worlds. At this time, there was not much mess in society at all. Open ideas such as sexual liberation and sexual freedom have not yet emerged. The mainstream idea of society was the gentlemanly style of Puritans. Women were at most exposed to their necks when they were wearing clothes, which was not as if they were dazzled by their white thighs when they walked on the street later. If men told dirty jokes in public, they would definitely be regarded as having no tutors.
There is a saying that the more banned it, the more lacking it is. The more feudal society is, the more people are demanding about such things. The move by Los Angeles Tobacco Company is proof that after the production of this cigarette box not only immediately occupied 80% of the men's cigarette market, but many women would also secretly buy such cigarettes, so that later tobacco companies then launched cigarette boxes with handsome and handsome muscular men's cigarette boxes in order to occupy the women's market.
There are no voices of opposition in the society for such a move. The Los Angeles Times published comments for five weeks in a row to condemn it, saying that the tobacco company's actions are undoubtedly corrupting the social atmosphere and the moral consciousness of depravity. Many social groups have called on people to resist. Even the patrol police on the street are wearing clothes with a smoking sign printed on the back. However, this scene often appears: two familiar policemen on the street meet, and they still take out such cigarettes in full view and comment on whether the woman on the top is right.
