On this evening on October 25, 1929, no one realized how important this evening became.

But after experiencing this night, Hollywood's original situation was completely broken, its strength was re-divided, and its camps were re-combined.

This is also the third division of power after Hollywood was established.

With the establishment of the two major camps, the Hollywood Guardians stood up, making us full of confidence in the future of Hollywood.

But our confidence does not mean that the people have confidence in their future lives.

The huge disaster brought about by the stock market collapse seriously exceeded the public's imagination, and the losses and blows brought about were unexpected.

This situation is concentratedly reflected in major media.

On October 26, when I walked downstairs from the bedroom and sat next to the dining table to eat, I was still shocked by the TV and media reports.

One day on the 24th and one day on the 25th, these two days have almost become the day of the US's national disaster.

The Lockettke TV program has almost become an obituary collection.

"On the 24th, Mr. Todd Browning, the owner of Bivorgraf Film Company, shot himself at the foot of the back mountain in Hollywood. The reason for the suicide was that Bivorgraf not only lost all the investment in the stock market, but instead owed nearly 200 million yuan in debt. What awaited them would be the fate of bankruptcy!"

"And on the 25th, the only one who committed suicide in Hollywood was Todd Browning."

Next, a series of news that shocked me was then played on TV.

The first person to be reported to commit suicide was MGM's veteran superstar and the most popular male star in Hollywood, Rudolph Van Luntino!

When the bad news came on TV, Dijiabao, Natalia, Holkina and others next to me let out a harsh scream, and even the butler Heg, who was standing next to me, stayed on the spot.

I sat on the chair and my mind was even blank.

Although Rudolph Van Luntino is not a DreamWorks, as the most famous male star at MGM Films and the best male actor in Hollywood, he represents an era to some extent.

Born in 1895 in Italy, Rudolph Van Lentino, is the most famous movie star in Hollywood in the 1910s and 1920s. On the screen, he always has an invisible magic, shining eyes, deep eyes, taste for clothing, mysterious temperament, flawless and lively body, and the extraordinary charm in the performance. He became the most famous male star in the Hollywood silent film era, and also kept his name forever in Hollywood history.

He was called the first popular lover on the Hollywood screen by later generations. In him, the courage and strength of men retreated second, and what the audience liked was his unique beauty. This man was a combination of handsomeness and wisdom. With his unique charm, he made hundreds of millions of viewers obsessed with him and crazy.

In the 1910s and 1920s, he was the pillar of MGM, and even after the invention of audio films, he achieved brilliant results in the art of film.

In the first Harvey Awards, he was nominated for Best Actor for his outstanding performance in "Volgaard". In 1927, he performed, making "Midnight London" produced by MGM Films by Neporo, both fame and fortune. His performance in the movie also conquered the audience and was nominated for Best Actor for the Second Harvey Awards.

Although both nominations were lost to me in the end, Rudolph Van Luntino is still a brilliant star in Hollywood in the eyes of the people!

For Hollywood movies, Rudolph Van Luntino's greatest contribution is that he broke the model of Hollywood actors. This model is always given specific arrangements to actors in the silent film era, and what clothes to wear and what to speak in a tone. Even the walking posture must be limited by the film company.

This model was completely overturned by Rudolph Van Luntero. This excellent actor was born because of trouble for a Hollywood stylist. His unique confusing dress once caused a headache for the makeup artists of MGM Films. Many people could not bear Rudolph Van Luntero and resigned angrily. However, the audience was crazy about decorations like Rudolph Van Luntero.

Rudolph Van Luntino left many indelible images for Hollywood movies on the screen, and his acting skills and character have also won the respect of everyone in Hollywood.

But no one would have expected that such an actor would commit suicide.

According to TV reports, Rudolph Van Luntino started investing in the stock market half a year ago. Under the persuasion of his broker, he invested all his savings in it, and in the end he simply mortgaged his house to make a big deal.

But this Italian immigrant is a genius in acting, but he has no talent in the stock market at all. This time, the collapse of the stock market not only made him lose all his money he earned over the years, but also owed 50 million yuan in debt.

To be honest, 50 million US dollars is too much. If you replace it with ordinary people, you probably can't pay it off at all, but Rudolph Van Luntino is a top Hollywood star, so it is still possible to pay it off.

However, Rudolf Van Luntino is not very broad in character. I have had some relationships with him and have had several dealings. He is a person who values ​​face very much. To put it seriously, he is a bit narcissistic.

Such a person has extremely poor ability to withstand failure and is very fragile in his mind, so when he encounters such a blow, he feels very embarrassed. In addition, he owes such a large sum of money, so he chose to commit suicide very well in line with his own style of dealing with the world.

On the evening of the 25th, Rudolf Van Lentino's servant knocked on the side of his room and asked him to come down to eat, but found that there was no movement inside. After knocking several times without a reply, the servants knocked away and found that the superstar was lying quietly on the bed, with a whole bottle of sleeping pills on the head of the bed, and had already stopped breathing.

On his bedside table was a note he left for people, with only one sentence: "I am not dead. I just fell asleep quietly."

This Hollywood superstar still pays great attention to his image at the end of his life, and bid farewell to the world in a very gentle way, which makes people feel deeply moved.

The audience was also very sorry for his death.

MGM Films' owner Marskolov and general manager Meyer, both of them burst into tears at the camera, saying that Rudolph Van Lentino's death was MGM's biggest loss.

"He is only 34 years old! He is the golden age of an actor. What awaits him is a bright future. He actually chose such an extreme path, which really hurts us.

Marskolov was heartbroken on TV. The colleagues who worked with Rudolph Van Luntino were also distraught.

Rudolf Van Luntino followed by an obituary.

This time, it's not the actor, but the director.

The film company that suffered the blow also changed from MGM to Paramount.

On the evening of the 25th, Leibs Piley was found dead in a tavern toilet in a Hollywood tavern. When the police rushed over, they found a rope strapped around his neck. The rope was hung on a small beam on the head of the toilet, less than two meters above the ground.

This excellent director of Hollywood's flashy comedy, who used a rope to solve himself, turned his death into a flashy comedy.

And his death was because he lost 7 million US dollars in the collapse of the stock market, and this money was his entire savings.

It is difficult for Leibs Piley to make it clear in one or two sentences.

In Hollywood, this is a somewhat maverick director. He is not as popular as other directors like Sissy Dimil, who is very popular with each other. He has few friends. He is very low-key and has a bad temper.

But when working, it is definitely one of the few diligent and serious examples in Hollywood. Leibs Piley is not a top-notch director among directors, but he is still very famous among Hollywood directors, especially his flashy comedy, which is his own style. It is difficult for anyone to surpass him in this regard.

Because of this, Leibs Piley has a fixed group of movie fans. His film style has a great influence on many Hollywood film directors, such as King Vidor.

The most popular truth about Leibs Pierre should be around 1920, which was his golden age. Although he has gone a little devastating in recent years, he can still direct two or three movies every year. Most of these movies are not very popular, but each one makes a lot of money. Therefore, Adolf Chuck has always supported Leibs Pierre's work and is sure of his achievements.

In addition to the film director, Leibs Piley is also a film researcher. Some of his film insights are unique and often writes some movie review articles, which are very respected in the Hollywood movie review circle.

His death also caused a great uproar. Adolf Chuck then announced that Paramount will make the openings of all the films this year in black and white to commemorate Leibs Piley, and the board of directors of Paramount Films has been passing the board of directors of Paramount in Hollywood to rename the Piley Cinema in order to make the public always remember that Hollywood has such an excellent director.

I am very sad about Leibs Piret's death.

This is a very hardworking person and a very pure person to treat movies.

The third obituary was seen on TV after breakfast in the company office.

When the obituary was broadcast on the TV station, the fat man opposite me suddenly disappeared.

"What!? Steg Falmley is dead!?" The fat man looked at the TV screen, and his eyes turned red after a flash of brush.

He heard it right, it was Steg Falmley who died.

This Hollywood's best cinematographer put enough gas in the room and died on the ground.

Steg Farmley was originally a photographer at Callum Film Company, and then transferred to the 20th Century Film Company, and now he is the first photographer at Leidianhua Film Company.

He is a Hollywood camera, one of the rare geeks.

The reason why he is a geek is that when shooting, this person has a very weird style and does not follow the ordinary path, so his style is unique and makes people unable to see it. He belongs to the kind of person who is willing to use his brains in photography.

In Hollywood, there are only a few of the most popular photographers now. Fatty, Benjamin Glazer, Ben Hurst, Adrian Berunal, and Steg Farmley.

These people are the backbone of the Photography Association. Steg Farmley is the vice president of the Photography Association, responsible for the association's related development matters. Although he is Lei Dianhua's person, he has a good personal relationship with Fatty, so Fatty is very distressed to his death.

Not only is the fat man feeling heartbroken, but I also feel very sorry. There are not many good photographers in Hollywood, and losing Steg Falmley is indeed an irreparable loss.

The reason why Steg Falmley committed suicide was not only because he lost all his money in the stock market. Another reason was that his fiancée left him because of this, which made people feel deep sympathy for him.

In addition to Rudolph Van Lentino, Leibs Piley and Steiger Famley, there are many Hollywood filmmakers who committed suicide due to the collapse of the stock market. In addition, there are many well-known people in Los Angeles who have chosen this dead end.

This has almost become a special obituary area for Rockefeller TV and major Hollywood film media.

One after another obituary, the passing of life makes people feel heavy after reading it.

According to statistics, there are 17 filmmakers who committed suicide on the 24th and 25th due to the stock market crash. Hollywood suddenly fell into sighs and grief.

It was also on this day that Grant announced on behalf of the Hollywood City Government that all the Hollywood City flags were lowered to commemorate these filmmakers who have contributed to Hollywood.

This proposal was approved by everyone.

At the same time, Grant also suggested that a public funeral be held for these people, and the funeral was set at No. 28.

Major Hollywood film companies expressed their support. This day was also designated as a collective mourning day for Hollywood.

The suicide of Hollywood filmmakers together casts a shadow on the people and Hollywood people. Hollywood, originally lively and high, suddenly became unprecedentedly low.

In addition to reporting these obituaries, there are also some other major news in major media.

One of them is about DreamWorks.

On the 26th, a full page of the article was published in the second edition of the New York Times.

The title of this article is: "The Back of an Era".

"This newspaper learned from the publicity department of DreamWorks Films that the oldest-established film company in Hollywood was acquired by DreamWorks because of the death of Todd Browning and his own operating conditions. After the acquisition, the company was renamed DreamWorks - Bivorgs Films, which DreamWorks called Factory Six."

"Bivograf Film Company, together with Vitagraf Film Company, was the two largest film companies in the early days of Hollywood. In the early days of Hollywood, it was the absolute overlord, dominated the American film industry, and made great contributions to the development of Hollywood films. It can be said that they are representatives of an era in Hollywood."

"But with the development of Hollywood, the big companies of the past are now at the end of their lives. Vitagraf was acquired by Warner Bros. Films a few years ago and disappeared from Hollywood, leaving only the old film company that is weaker than Vograf."

"Over the years, Todd Browning has been trying his best to keep it safe, but this time, Todd Browning really has no ability. After he committed suicide, the old film company finally collapsed. Although DreamWorks did not completely erase the name of Bivograf from Warner Films, the old company has completely disappeared. Its demise also marks the end of an era and the end of the early era of films in Hollywood. This is something that makes people feel moved and helpless."

"Thankfully, DreamWorks acquired this mess. We hope that in the hands of Mr. Corleone and in the hands of DreamWorks, this company can once again emit a dazzling light and learn to move us again."

This article in the Los Angeles Times is very touching, which makes many filmmakers feel sad after reading it. Griffith even squeezed and shed a few tears.

There are feelings, and there are sighs. But this is the reality. Every development and every progress must be based on a sacrifice.

For me, the most I want to do is to redevelop Bivorglaf Film Company, which will make this ancient name shine again, and also to comfort Todd Browning's Spirit in Heaven.

In addition to reporting that Bivorgraf Films was acquired by DreamWorks. The Hollywood Times reported on DreamWorks' acquisition of the cinemas of 20th Century Films and gained 15% of the company's shares.

In this issue of the newspaper, an action by the Hollywood Times attracted everyone's attention and made the newspaper the most popular newspaper of the day.
