It was Baird who smiled, and then Shan Lige also showed a look of finding her when she went out to the street.

"Boss, after the premiere of "Cinema Paradise", our color film technology immediately attracted the attention of all Hollywood film companies, and they sent people to discuss cooperation." Baird looked at me and grinned.

"Cooperation? Is it necessary to introduce color film technology?" I said without moving.

"Yes. Boss, MGM, Paramount and other companies have been going to Factory No. 3 these days, asking for colored film, but I have delayed it for the time being. We want to hear your opinion." Shan Lige sat on the sofa opposite, with a hint of unconcealed joy in his voice.

The invention of color film means that his third factory will once again make a fortune like the invention of audio films.

I smiled and said, "Sell! Of course I have to sell it! But it's not just about selling films. Our DreamWorks has spent so much manpower and material resources on color movies, so naturally we can't afford them in vain. You two and Yassel went to the Patent Office to discuss a reasonable measure. This patent fee is indispensable. In the future, every time they make a movie, they have to leave a certain proportion of money for us DreamWorks."

"I know, just like the patent for audio movies in the past." At this point, Yamarige was extremely experienced.

The two of them went out to work happily. Looking at their backs, I couldn't help laughing out loud. This time, DreamWorks' strength may have to rise to another level.

On December 16th, Stenberg's film "Blonde Venus" premiered.

On this day, the more noticeable movies, besides the movie from Stenburg, are the only ones "The Wonderful Life" produced by Columbia Films, directed by George Stevens.

In the past two years, the development of Columbia Film Company has been declining. The company not only has not produced movies with reputation, but also has not made huge profits in movie distribution.

At the beginning, among the third-level film companies in Hollywood, Colombia ranked first, followed by Universal, Bivograf, and 20th Century Film Company. Now, the strength of these four companies has increased and decreased. Universal has surpassed Universal in terms of strength and reputation with a series of excellent films, becoming the third-level boss. The 20th Century Film Company, which was originally ranked last, jumped to second, and Colombia fell to third, ranking last.

Therefore, for Colombia, the only film that was invested during the Christmas period has become extremely important.

For safety reasons, they deliberately avoided the peak of No. 14 and chose them. They still didn't expect that George Stevens's film would eventually be submerged in the glory of "Blonde Venus".

Although Stenberg is the most careless person in the DreamWorks director team, once he picks up the guide in his hand, few people in DreamWorks and even in Hollywood can compare with his serious work attitude.

This guy has a perfectionist tendency in terms of personality, and if he doesn't do it, he will strive for the best.

The script of "Blonde Venus" was carefully crafted by Stenberg for more than a year. He has revised every shot and every line countless times. The Paris scene also adds an exotic touch to the movie.

After the rough cut of "Blonde Venus", Griffith and I were dragged to watch it by Stenborough. After watching the whole movie, almost everyone gave Stenborough a thumbs up.

His film, whether in terms of color, light and shadow, plot setting, character portrayal and artistic discussion, reminds me of a later director: Kieslowsky!

The story briefly tells the story of a blonde woman. She is a painter in Paris and has an enviable family. However, the war broke out, and Marian's husband was called into the army, leaving only the mother and son to depend on each other. The difficulties of life caused Marian to go through some hardships. First, the house caught fire and lost the place of residence. Then he received the news that her husband died on the front line. In desperation, Marian had to give up painting and become a prostitute in a tavern, and got the nickname "Blonde Venus". With her beauty, she dealt with men, and wanted to find someone who could live together for the rest of her life, but those men just regarded her as

The war made the people in the country unbearable and demanded the government to truce. They marched to protest to the government, but were suppressed by the government. Marian also took her son to participate in the parade, but her son was beaten to death by a soldier during the parade. The death of her son completely collapsed because her son was her only hope for life. This also triggered the woman's hatred for the world and men. She began to take revenge, using her beauty to seduce those malicious men, and then kill them. At the same time, she was also tracing the whereabouts of the soldier who killed her son, and her clue was just to remember that the man's military uniform was embroidered with a golden daisy.

People were constantly dying strangely, which attracted the attention of the Paris police. Sheriff Jean Hiller and his agents held a pursuit. Through careful investigation, they learned that the murderer of this series of murders was just a blonde woman. During the investigation, Sheriff Jean Hiller gradually developed sympathy for the murderer.

Marian was still taking revenge on the man frantically. At the same time, she also found out the whereabouts of the soldier who killed his son little by little, and found the military base where the soldier was located.

The continuous murders, and the deceased were all well-known figures, forced the government to dispatch troops and police to cooperate with the investigation.

During a reconnaissance, Jean Hiller finally surrounded Marian, who was stabbing a man with a sharp knife through meticulous deployment.

Maurian, who was covered in a face, tried to escape, but was shot in the chest by a soldier in the army ambushed at the end of the alley.

When the soldier came over and pulled away the black cloth on Marian's face, Marian found that there was a golden daisy embroidered on the hem of the soldier's clothes. This man was the murderer who killed his son.

What she didn't even think of was that this soldier was her husband who had already died!

After pulling away the black cloth on Marian's face, the man was stunned. The couple hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Marian died after telling her husband about the incident, and her husband took off his military uniform angrily and shot himself beside his wife.

The last thing left is just a story about a beautiful female killer nicknamed "Golden Venus". This story has become the topic of conversation among the Parisians, and the world still runs, war, turmoil, darkness, and everything seems to have not changed.

After the premiere of this film in Stenberg, it was highly praised by critics and audiences.

Cissidimil said: "The movie of Stenberg has a typical French impressionist style, and it portrays the natural scenery, social landscapes and the fate of the characters. It exudes a strong poetic feeling. Especially in terms of colors, the contrast between the warm and cold colors of climaxes has reached the

The artistic expression of the story is even more important to mention that the critical power of Stenberg is shocking. The typical tragic style of the DreamWorks School makes people sigh after reading it!"

The Los Angeles Times called the film Stenborough: "A Elegy of War!"

The Los Angeles Times spent a lot of space on interviewing Stenborough, in which Stenborough talked about his thoughts about the movie in detail.

"I want to express it, it is a real story. This story is what I saw in French magazines. After reading it, I couldn't calm down for a long time. That world war made the whole Europe a hell. During the war, the bad nature of human beings was completely exposed. In order to survive, people can do anything that is incredible. Moral collapse, law collapses, conscience is destroyed, and human life is like a small flower falling into the mud, being trampled on at will!"

"Maryan is not only a woman, but a wife, a mother, but also a symbol of human destiny. What I want to do is to poke the hearts of the already numb people after this war, and then sprinkle salt! I want them to think carefully about what happened in this world during the past period. This is my purpose."

"Use movies to express society, let humans realize their return, and why they come from, and where they go in this world. This is the greatest mission of filmmakers. I am very grateful to my boss Andre Corleon. I learned from him how to be a real filmmaker. A redeemer who does not only think about money and reputation, but always keeps the truth and responsibility in his heart!"

Stenberg's interview speech received great recognition and praise from Hollywood filmmakers and the public.

The audience was worried about this poor French woman, and they sighed for her and shed tears for her.

This movie made Stenberg a success, making him shining again, and also made Betty Davis the heroine of the movie.

Because she played the heroine in "Instinct", Betty Davis has become a new star in Hollywood. In that movie, Betty Davis left the audience with the image of a "sexy beauty" and was crazyly loved by the people. In this "Blonde Venus", Betty Davis's image has undergone a fundamental change. Although in some scenes, she still shows a rare sexy and charming, but in the huge part of the shots, she is a poor woman tortured by life.

A beautiful face, flowing blonde hair, and desperate and tough eyes made this woman who had just stepped into Hollywood and only acted in two movies, suddenly become one of Hollywood's top actresses.

Among the most popular female stars selected by The Citizens, Garbo ranked first, Lillian Gish ranked second, Catherine Hepburn ranked third, Julie ranked fourth, Betty Davis and MGM star Vivien Leigh tied for fifth.

The Los Angeles media began to compare Betty Davis and Vivien Leigh together. One is an American and the other is an Englishman, who is both young and beautiful, and the same instant hit, and they became a topic of talk about by Los Angeles media. Some media even said that they were the future Garbo.

"Blonde Venus" has also set off a French film craze in Hollywood and the entire United States. Although the movie is filled with black tragedy, the French's life, Parisian style, and especially the unique understanding and attitude of the French towards life have fascinated American filmmakers and audiences.

Then the east wind, Bizer, who had a keen sense of smell, immediately took action. He organized the relevant departments of DreamWorks Publishing Company to plan and publish a French cultural series. This series, with pictures and texts, gave a detailed introduction to French culture. The first book they almost published was a picture album in less than a week. This thick album included almost every corner of Paris and was accompanied by introduction texts. It had been published, which caused a crazy rush to buy. The 600,000 copies of the first edition were just put into purchases, and the hot situation forced DreamWorks Publishing Company to print it again and again.

This French craze also made Laclau's Rolling Stone Music Company a little excited. They plan to launch a French singer and plan a series of French-style music concerts.

This chain effect was unexpected by Stenberg and DreamWorks.

Stenberg's "Blonde Venus" succeeded, but George Stevens' "The Wonderful Life" premiered with the movie was not so wonderful.

This movie, which was released in Colombia, is not as hot as they expected. The movie has not failed and is still good at the box office. After all, George Stevens is also a man of two tricks, but in terms of response, it is lukewarm.

Whether it is the audience or Hollywood filmmakers, there is no special attention to this movie. There are only very few reports in the media.

This made the Columbia Company, which was originally full of confidence, go bad.

After the premiere of "Blonde Venus", DreamWorks, who had been busy for more than half a month, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For half a month, the heat of Hollywood Christmas movies has made everyone in DreamWorks tighten their clockwork, and in our worksheets, there is no concept of day and night, and some are just working, working again! Most of the time, even eating and going to the toilet, can save time and time.

In the past half a month, everyone has lost a lot of weight. After the premiere of "Blonde Venus", Griffith fainted from exhaustion on the editing stage. Griffith, who was already old, could not withstand such troubles. However, even after he woke up, the old man insisted that he was fine, but I forced him to enter the First Hospital of Los Angeles.

Since the Stiller incident happened, I have been very concerned about the health issues of these people.

After the examination, the hospital's opinion was that Griffith was just too tired and had no physical problems. He only needed to recuperate for a period of time.

After getting the doctor's diagnosis, Griffith clamored to go out, but I ordered him to stay and sent Kava to take care of him, which made the old man completely honest.

Griffith was exhausted, and the other groups of people were in trouble. However, compared with Griffith, these people were much better in health and were basically young people, so they could survive.

After the premiere of "Blonde Venus", the only DreamWorks movie is Stiller's "Step on St. Anthony's Temptation". From the 16th to the 24th, there is nearly ten days left. There is enough time, so I let the group of people go home to spend two days with everyone, letting them go home to spend their wives and children and relax.

December 24th, this is the most lively time of the year. Such a festival makes every household in the United States full of joy.

On this day, "Step from St. Anthony" premiered, DreamWorks was always busy. I arrived at the company early in the morning. Just as I was planning with Stiller and others, Jimmy walked into the room with someone.! Why are you here?" Looking at Yuri in a black robe, I couldn't help it.

I've never seen Yuri wear his robe since I've known him for so long.

For people from the primitive sects, wearing robes is only a sacrifice. In addition, ordinary people can wear traditional robes only when grand celebrations or major events occur.

And the black robe can only appear in one situation, and that is the funeral!

"Mr. Corleon!" Yuri's eyes suddenly turned red when he looked at me.

Thump! I sat on the chair.

"Yuri, is it the high priest he..." My voice shivered.

The last time I was at my wedding, the high priest told me that his deadline was coming, and when he was presiding on Daddy's funeral, I felt that the high priest's body was no longer as good as before. The high priest, who usually walked like a flying high, was panting and coughing even on the hillside.

"Mr. Corleon, the high priest suddenly summoned us together last night, and established his heir in public. Then he entered the inner temple alone. This morning, when the two priests entered, they found that the high priest was lying on the ground and was already unconscious. When I came to the ground, he had just woken up and said he wanted to see you. Mr. Corleon. Let's go quickly. If you say late, it will probably be too late!" Yuri said, crying.

"Go!" I stood up and was about to leave.

"Boss, I'll go too!" Stiller was also anxious.

The high priest saved him his life. He naturally wanted to go.

"Forget it, you're busy with the premiere. I'm there with the high priest." I patted his shoulder and took Gans, Fatty and others downstairs quickly.

High Priest, you have to wait for me!

Santa Catalina Island, a pearl along the coast of Los Angeles. At this time, it is immersed in the brilliant sunset, as if an island is about to disappear on the sea.

Instead of taking a steamer, we carried a speedboat into the island that was sailing far away.

The wind was blowing on the sea and the waves were very heavy. In the bumpy cabin, the crowd was in a heavy mood.

No one spoke. Only the whistling sea breeze and the rumbling of waves slapping on the hull.

When we arrived at Santa Catalina Island, the sunset glowed half the sky red, and the sea and sky were the same color. It was very beautiful.

Such a scenery is rare even in places like Santa Catalina Island.

I got off the boat and got on the dock, and there was a dedicated person waiting for us.

As I walked along the way, I saw almost no one on the island. Perhaps because of the strong winds and waves today, there were very few tourists on the island. This also made Santa Catalina Island less noisy and more tranquility.

The residents of the island have some places to play in the yard of their homes and some places to listen to the radio in the garden, and they are having fun. They don’t know that there is an old man about to die today.

This is the difference between high priests of the original sect and general religious leaders.

I think if the Pope died, no matter what sect it was, it would definitely cause deep mourning around the world. But the death of the high priest would not attract anyone's attention. In fact, any Pope was just a child in front of him.
