In fact, whenever a person has a hideous smile that doesn't smile, it is often possible. First, this kid is stupid, and the rest is to tell you that he is going to be humiliated.

Yutus Clay's psychological tolerance is not average, and it is impossible for him to be so stupid, so you don't have to think about what his smile means.

"Mr. Corleon, you have said so many of the benefits of film ratings, but I have to mention one thing. In front of so many members of the Codex Executive Board, you tell me, does this weaken the authority of the Codex Executive Board?" Yutus Clay turned around and made a provocative gesture to a large number of members of the Codex Executive Board next to him, and became a loyal representative to safeguard their interests.

I have to admire the dark psychology and methods of this old glass. What I did just now has made the people of the Codex Execution Bureau feel a little frustrated. In their eyes, the film rating system has indeed reduced the power in their hands compared to the original censorship system, so after Yutus Clay said this, many people of the Codex Execution Bureau are not very friendly to me.

For me, this is not a good phenomenon, because even after the movie rating system is passed, the censorship of the movie will still be passed through the Codex Execution Bureau. If I offend the people in the Codex Execution Bureau, Yutus Clay will use some tricks to fight some of them, and then in the future, all the movies in DreamWorks will be turned into NC-17 levels, then I will be a big deal!

"Sir, it's very unreasonable for you to say this." I just said it out loud. Today, I can't leave the impression that the people of the Codex Execution Bureau are opposed to them and ignore their interests: "The film rating system has not only not weakened, but has strengthened the authority of the Codex Execution Bureau. Why do I say that? I think there are two main aspects. First, the current censorship system has made the relationship between the Codex Execution Bureau and the Hollywood film industry extremely stiff, and has also made the authority and image of the Codex Execution Bureau on the verge of collapse. If this situation cannot be resolved well, I don't need to say the result below."

I reminded all members of the Code Executive Board from the beginning. The current situation is no longer a question of whether the Code Executive Board is weakened or not, but a question of whether the Code Executive Board can still exist. If we continue to follow the original path, then the Code Executive Board will have only one result: it is disbanded by the Hollywood Filmmakers Conference. Where will the skin be left without hair?!

The members of the Code Execution Bureau were obviously frightened by my words. In fact, they knew better than anyone else about the current exit. Once the Code Execution Bureau is disbanded, the power in their hands will disappear, which is what they least want to see.

Many people nodded frequently, and more people looked at me as they explained by Donner Laputa.

"Dear members, I say that the authority of the Code Executive Board has not been weakened. Another important reason is that although you cannot delete it, you have the power to rank movies. As we all know, for a movie, the impact of being classified into different levels is absolutely different. The higher the rank, the more restricted the audience, and the box office will be reduced accordingly. This power is not smaller than the original one. Moreover, once the movie rating system is passed, it means that the number of movies submitted for review is much more than the current situation, and your power is much greater. I don't need to explain this in detail. Everyone, the biggest wish of my proposal for the movie rating system is not to want to

Seeing Hollywood movies decline, if there is no good censorship system, the development of Hollywood movies will be greatly damaged, but if there is no Codex Executive Board, the development of Hollywood movies will still face many problems, so this proposal will be an extremely beneficial proposal for Hollywood filmmakers, the Codex Executive Board, and even the general public. After all, Hollywood belongs to all of us. If we don’t promote its development, who will promote it? This is also the obligation of every filmmaker. Today, I will start with my personal meager strength. Whether it can be implemented will be decided by everyone. Thank you."

I smiled slightly at the audience and walked off the podium.

Hugh! Warm applause came from the hall, including all the staff of the Code Executive Board, Grant, Hayes, Pang Mao and Coward, etc., who also stood up and clapped my hands hard.

This overwhelming applause made me feel at ease.

Grant said on the podium that the many staff around the hall waved their hands and those people began to distribute votes.

"Everyone, Andrei has analyzed the film rating system he proposed in detail. It can be seen that this system is extremely reasonable. Let's vote for this system."

Under the leadership of Grant, the people in the hall began to bow their heads and cross the ballots, and then handed the ballots to the staff next to them. Then, after the ballots were collected, under the supervision of Grant, Hayes, Pang Mao and Coward, the staff began to count the ballots.

The whole process is extremely long and tedious, but the hall is very quiet from beginning to end. Regardless of the result, this vote will have a huge impact on Hollywood. If it is passed, it means that the film rating system has been implemented in Hollywood more than 40 years earlier than in history. If it is not passed, it will trigger greater oscillation: Hollywood filmmakers are very likely to propose a proposal to dissolve the Code Executive Board at this conference, and it is very likely to be passed.

Everyone was anxious and nervous. Although they could not see the vote statistics in front of the podium, they still raised their heads one by one.

Nearly an hour later, Grant handed a note to Pang Mao, and then Pang Mao walked onto the podium.

The 300 people in the hall stood up together.

Pang Mao patted the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, let me announce the results of this vote. The film rating system proposed by Mr. Andre Corleon was passed collectively with 256 votes in favor and 53 votes against!"

Wow! There is no shouting. There is overwhelming applause and everyone's eager eyes are cast at me.

"Andre, you succeeded! We Hollywood succeeded!" Lemmer squeezed his eyes at me and laughed happily.

Todd Browning, Bessie Lof and others were also overjoyed. Also happy were people from the Code Executive Board and representatives of various social organizations.

This result is obviously what everyone wants to see.

The next thing is easy to handle. The main job is to discuss the specific operation methods of the film rating system, which is extremely troublesome. The proposal I proposed only briefly introduced the five major ratings. It is very general that Hollywood filmmakers have learned a lot now, and they are no longer like the first conference.

The framework gave the remaining collective operation clauses to the Codex Execution Bureau to complete them once. After suffering from the pain of the Codex Execution Bureau, they began to set various quantitative standards for these five levels. The += between the five levels of G, PG, PG-13R, NC-17 was converted to the concept of number of shots. These guys even quantified the degree of nakedness of the actors, such as the lower part of the neck and the upper part of the chest was G-level, and more than three-quarters of the chest was PG-level. The entire breast was PG-level,: 17.

The purpose of such layered quantification is to try to deprive the Codex Executive Board of the hierarchical power and leave no room for self-control. On this point, Hollywood filmmakers are unambiguous. Compared with the aggressiveness of Hollywood filmmakers, the Codex Executive Board of the Codex Executive Board is obviously much short of breath. After all, such quantitative division is necessary. Although they are cowardly, they have no way to do so.

It was so noisy that we kept discussing until after 11 o'clock in the evening that the bill for the film rating system was finally formulated. Finally, Pang Mao and Coward announced that the bill was named the "Corion Film Rating Act" and it began to be implemented when it was promulgated.

This time, Hollywood filmmakers have made a comeback.

As soon as the meeting ended, I yawned out of the hall, and Gans and Stiller behind me were extremely excited.

"Andre, you have made a great book for our Hollywood this time. Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal!" As soon as I walked to the parking floor, Marskolov and Meyer walked over.

I shrugged: "I'm tired. I want to go back to sleep. I'll write down this meal first and eat it when I have time."

Marskolov smiled and pulled my arm and said, "Andre, I have to tell you an important news."

"What news?" I asked casually.

"Mutual Aid Company is preparing to set up a new film company, do you know?" Malskolov's face showed a cold look.

I smiled in my heart, but I pretended to be surprised: "Mutual Aid Company is going to set up a new film company? No way?"

Seeing me in surprise, Marskolov smiled and said, "What big move is going to happen to Mutual Aid Company this time? It is said that it will carry out a major integration to integrate the four subsidiaries of Mutual Aid Company together, and also to pull some industrial companies under its own company."

"Where do they have so much money?" I put on a look of not believing it at all.

Marskolov tsk and said, "You are stupid. This time the establishment of a new large company was driven by the Rockefeller Consortium. I think many small companies under the Rockefeller Consortium that were originally related to the film industry will be merged into this new company called Leidianhua. By then, Hollywood will have another first-class large company."

The more Malskolov spoke, the heavier his tone. The rise of a first-class company means that MGM has an additional competitor, and the pressure is extremely huge.

"Do you know when they are going to be established?" I raised a question I had wanted to ask long ago.

Marskolov pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The Christmas time is coming soon, and the mutual aid company is still busy with their movies, so it seems that it cannot be established this year. If it is to be established, it should be the beginning of next year, but it will not be too late. By then, Hollywood will be lively."

I chuckled: "It's lively, I like it."

"Andre, do you have no idea about this?" Marskolov glanced at me.

I spread my hands and said, "I?! What can I do if I want to fight! It's all my business to set up a company."

Marskolov pointed at me and shook his head: "You guy! I mean, the Rockefeller Consortium's move seems to have another meaning. According to the news I received, Wall Street is now interested in marching towards Hollywood. The Rockefeller Consortium must be the former station."

"What are you going to do?" I asked back.

Marskolov smiled bitterly: "I think our two companies should unite."

"United? How to unite?" I smiled.

Marskolov frowned and said, "Of course it's a movie that supports each other. I'll see that our two film companies will hold a Christmas joint broadcast during this Christmas schedule. If the effect is good, the cooperation will continue."

"I have no objection to this. Just discuss it with Yassel." I smiled at Marskolov, then opened the car door and got in.

As soon as the car drove out of the city government, Gans muttered to me: "Boss, what is Marskolov talking about? We should not cooperate with them anymore. I have no idea how to cooperate with them."

I turned around and looked at the street tree outside the car window and said, "MGM has a cinema. We still take advantage of it when we cooperate with them. Just let Yassel do this."

The enactment of the Corleon Film Classification Act made headlines in all newspapers in Los Angeles the next day. Almost overnight, the bill was highly welcomed by Hollywood people and the public. Although there were some oppositions, it was completely overwhelmed by the praises. Major newspapers all said that this bill was a symbol of film democracy, and the people were cheering to see more movies to enjoy full film freedom. The bill caused strong social reflections, which came to the.

In the next few days, I kept working hard to do one thing, which was the editing of "Hollywood Story". Since this movie is a musical and dance film, it was more complicated than the previous movies, and only Stenberg helped me. So the editing speed was slower than the original movie, but fortunately it was still early before the release date, so we didn't have to worry at all.

Stiller and Gans were busy with the premiere of "The Hotel Imperial", especially Stiller, who stayed in the First Cinema for almost twenty-four hours because it was his first film directed independently.

In the past few days, many movies have been announced to be completed, John Ford's "Blue Angel", Liu Bieqian's "Prince of Students", Kim Victor's "Great Bartles", etc., all have entered the post-production stage. Among them, the "Black Pirate" co-directed by Chaplin and Parker has also announced to be completed. Chaplin also held a cocktail party to celebrate. It is said that this guy claimed that the film of United States would defeat all films including "Hollywood Story", and was not afraid of the strong wind and flashing his tongue.

The weather gradually became colder. On the 29th, there was a heavy snowfall in Los Angeles. It started to fall, and it became heavier and heavier, as if it didn't stop at all.

think.

When I was tired of editing, Stenborough and I came out of the editing room and stood on the balcony smoking and watching the snow.

"Ding Lingling" Just as I was so stunning, the phone ringing in the office behind me began to remember.

"Boss, your phone number seems to be Mr. Shottal." Jimmy took the call and forwarded it to me.

"Boss, today I saw a very interesting performance in London." The first thing Shottal said to me was laughing.

"Why did you go to London?" I thought he had something important to him.

"I came to London to make the location of the branch factory. We took a fancy to a large bankrupt factory in Cannes, which is very suitable for us to establish a branch factory. The owner of this factory is British, so I came here. Boss, I saw a very interesting performance in London. I think you will definitely be interested in it." Shottal repeated again.

"I'm convinced you, and I actually have the time to watch some performance. Isn't it just taking off my clothes, right?" I said with a wicked smile.

"Where is a striptease!" Shottal became anxious: "Boss, I saw a performance called Magic Mirror at the door of a large shop in London. It's so magical!" As soon as she mentioned the performance, Shottal's voice trembled with excitement.

"What magic mirror? Gypsy's magic?" I was a little puzzled. The old man should be a knowledgeable person, so how could a performance be like this.

"It's not magic! It's the invention of a young man, which is so magical. He put a receiver at the door of the store and then placed the transmitter in the store. Then he could transmit the image to the receiver. Boss, you should know that there are dozens of meters between the receiver and the transmitter! I also tried it out and gave my hat to the young man, and then I saw a clear image of my hat on the receiver at the door! Just like radio transmission sound, this invention can actually spread images! It's so magical!" Shottal's roar made everyone in the office hear Distenborg.

At the same time, my heart trembled violently, and I felt like I was about to faint, because what Shottal described was very consistent with a kind of household appliance that people cannot live with inseparable from later generations.

Can images be transmitted?! And there are long distances, with transmitters and receivers!

This won't be...

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Stenberg looked at me trembling all over, even his hands holding the phone double trembled, and quickly came over to support me.

"Shotal, did that young man say what his invention is called?" I was almost suffocating.

Shottal's excited voice came from the microphone: "It seems to be a TV."

Thump! Shottal said, and I almost slipped to the ground when my legs became weak.

"Boss, boss!" Stenborough helped me to the chair, so nervous.

TV! It's indeed a TV!

In an instant, sweat came out from my forehead. The sweat was not cold sweat, but because of excitement.

"Shotal, is the person who invented the TV named Baird?" I tried my best to calm myself down.

A murmuring sound came from Shothal. Then Shothal asked a little strangely: "Boss, how do you know his name is Baird?! Have you seen him!?"

Joke, how could I not know his name is Baird!

Historically, when radio was widely used in communication and broadcast, many inventors began to invent televisions that could spread live, but they all declared failures one after another. Hastings and Baird in southwestern England were also doing this invention, but every time he waited for him, he failed. However, in the repeated failures, Baird also explored the principle of the television: the sent scene should be divided into many small dots, dark or bright, and then transmitted in the form of electrical signals. It is best to restore the image on the receiver. After years of hard work, Baird

The image of a cross flower was successfully reflected, but the emission distance was only three meters, and the map lines were sometimes blurred. Later, a wealthy man from London was very interested in his invention, so he invited him to London to continue his research. Then in 1925, he made breakthrough progress in the research company and achieved clear transmission of images at short distances. At Baird, he sent the image clearly to New York in the London communication room, which shocked the whole world. By 1936, British TV and TV officially began to appear on the stage of history.

I have been busy with movies and have forgotten this major invention.

"Shotal, I have only read related reports before. Let me ask you, how is Baird's current situation? Why did he run to the store door to perform?" What I care most about now is the issue of the belonging of Baird's invention.
