Start from 1980

Chapter 286 Chinese Theater
Hollywood (Hollywood), also known as Hollywood, is located in the outskirts of Los Angeles, California, on the west coast of the United States.

In fact, when it comes to Hollywood stars, well-known international superstars such as Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and Widow are not very impressed.

But only Charlie Sheen was the most impressed.

This male artist is the actor who starred in "Fighting the Condor". This movie is very spoof, interested friends can watch it.

The reason why I was so impressed with Charlie Sheen was because this buddy later publicly admitted that he had AIDS. As a result, half of the actresses in Hollywood went to the hospital for physical examination.

This ability made Teacher Su really far behind.

It is naturally suitable to fly from Boston to Los Angeles. Self-driving tours and trains are too inconvenient.

The development of Hollywood movies is actually related to the big financial groups on Wall Street.

It is precisely because of the intervention of these big consortiums that the Hollywood film city was formed and flourished rapidly, and the small village on the outskirts of Los Angeles eventually became a huge film city, and Hollywood has also virtually become synonymous with American movies.

The films produced by Hollywood not only meet the needs of the film market of the United States of America, but are also exported to all over the world, not only exporting the culture of the United States of America, but also bringing huge profits to Hollywood investors.

Later, those domestic coal bosses who got rich fell in love with a certain female artist, and would spend money to produce some bad movies. Whether they could make money, these coal bosses were not interested at all, they just wanted to know more female artists in the circle.

Su Chen didn't come to Hollywood to develop because of women, and it wasn't aimless. If there was an American branch, DreamWorks would be able to develop better.

And it will be much more convenient for DreamWorks to return to China for development in the future.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

When he and Miranda Avril set foot on the Hollywood territory, they didn't feel the strong commercial atmosphere later, but seemed a bit desolate.

Because at this time Hollywood is no longer beautiful.

Although there are still some post-production factories, film technical support companies and several major record companies still located in Hollywood, only Paramount, the major film company that established Hollywood's glory in the past, remains in Hollywood.

Most of the wealthiest and most successful creatives in the film industry left Hollywood decades ago.

Since the 50s and [-]s, Hollywood has gradually declined, from a picturesque mecca of residence, creation and tourism to a bustling, promiscuous, low-level, and sinful downtown.

Filled with sleazy tourist souvenir shops, drug dealers, beggars, bums and whores, the decay had hit rock bottom by the late 0s.

New Horizons has been able to open a company in this place for several years, probably because the rent in this place is not expensive.

If it was in Los Angeles or New York, it would have gone bankrupt long ago, and it would not wait until now.

Although she already knew that Su Chen wanted to develop in Hollywood, Miranda was also a little worried when she saw the decline.

"Su, I don't think it's very good if I develop in this place. There are gangsters everywhere in this place, and there are a lot of people from the society. I guess it will be more difficult."

Su Chen nodded: "It is indeed a bit difficult now, but a lot of waste is waiting to be done. I believe this place will regain its glory."

To be honest, seeing the decline, Su Chen didn't think of quitting at the first time, but wanted to build a lot of construction in this place, enclose a few sites, open a few movie theaters, and form his own theater chain.

For him, this is definitely the best opportunity, but now, the price is still a little expensive. By the end of the 80s, this place was almost deserted, and many big film companies were not optimistic about this place.

But the process of regaining its glory is a bit ironic, because the riots in 1992 and the earthquake in 1994 gave Los Angeles a large amount of funding from the federal government, which made Hollywood's reorganization possible and necessary.

However, the reconstruction plan has been quite effective. Since 1993, the crime rate has dropped a lot, and the dirty and dilapidated streets have taken on a new look.

Many landmarks were restored, including the Egyptian Theater at 6712 Hollywood Blvd.

"I agree with Su's point of view."

Avril Lavigne said: "I don't think the Los Angeles government will let this place be abandoned. Although we don't know when it will be able to regain its former glory, as long as we pay attention to the development history of American movies, we can find that Hollywood occupies an important role in the history of American movies. Heavy proportions.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you want to learn about American movies, you have to come to Hollywood. The Los Angeles government will definitely not continue to let this place be abandoned. Maybe in the next ten to 15 years, Hollywood will be able to reproduce yesterday brilliant. "

Miranda hugged Avril: "Little girl, you are right, it seems that you have done a lot of homework for us men's investment, but this time is too long, I don't think it is necessary to spend all the money on this It takes too long for the funds to come back, Su, what do you think?"

"Girls, we don't want the Los Angeles government to restore the former glory of Hollywood. There is no need to hoard a lot of land."

Su Chen smiled and said: "But I want to build a few cinema chains. Taking advantage of the low prices in these places, I will buy a few pieces of land first, or simply buy a few closed cinemas."

Miranda thought about it carefully, and said, "Su, if you want to build a theater chain, I don't think it's necessary to buy land. It's more suitable for you to start with those old theaters that have closed down, because although these movie theaters have closed down, they also represent a The splendor of the times.

It will be more beneficial to the development of your film company if you can reproduce the glory of these times, but it is best to get online with a few major theaters first, otherwise your film can only be shown in these places, which is very uneconomical.

Moreover, several major movie theaters are simply vampires. If they cooperate, they will definitely get a lot of money. Falk, these bloody vampires. "

"Indeed, those theaters are really vampires." Avril nodded: "Miranda is right about this, but if a film company doesn't have its own theaters, it's like a cowboy without a horse."

Su Chen took a girl by the hand: "Come on, it's daytime, we can go and see Hollywood now."

"Yes, we can go to the Chinese Theater. It is said that Chinese actresses Anna May Wong and Chaplin visited the theater when it opened," Miranda said.

Avril Lavigne nodded fiercely: "Yes, Anna May Wong is amazing. When the Avenue of Stars was built in 1958, she was the first Chinese to leave a star."

"Then we have to go and see."

When going out at this time, Su Chen brought his camera with him, so he could take pictures of Hollywood in this era.

You can walk on the street during the day, but it will be more dangerous at night, so there is no need to come out.

Free America, gun fights every day is no joke.

The three came to the Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard, which opened in May 1927. It was named after the appearance of its Chinese-style building, with a 5-foot-high bronze-colored roof reaching into the sky.

This theater was built by Mr. Grauman, the man of the American film industry at that time, "Mr. Hollywood".

This theater with oriental charm and architectural style attracted Chaplin, Chinese actress Huang Liushuang, English name Anna May Wong and many other well-known movie stars and celebrities to participate in the foundation laying ceremony.

And Huang Liushuang, Chaplin and others also installed the first rivet of this theater with their own hands. This achievement is absolutely remarkable.

Long before Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Queen Gong, International Zhang, Zhao Feite, and Huang Jiaozhu, he had become the first Chinese actor who became popular all over the world; he also left the first oriental star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

However, few people in China know about this legend. Even in the Chinese theater entry on Baidu Encyclopedia, she is called Wang Mei'anna.

Moreover, the stills of Huang Liushuang wearing a dragon robe in Limehouse Blue can be called a classic look, which was imitated by Bayi Bing and Dior later...

Now Hollywood has declined, whether it is this Chinese theater or the El Capitan Grand Theater, although today is a weekday and it is still daytime, there are many people queuing up to buy tickets.

There is a poster of Schwarzenegger holding two guns and a red light in his right eye posted on the door.

The movie is called The Terminator, translated into Chinese is the Terminator!
This has to be seen.

Su Chen took the two beauties to buy tickets as well, just in time, after buying the tickets, the three of them walked into the cinema...
