After lunch, Chen Xu chatted with Charles, John, and David about the Indians.

And some of the things they need to do next.

He also asked about the situation of the Irish in Seenna.

At this time, the maid of the house knocked on the door and told him that Jade Ferry had visited her father George Ferry at the door.

“The father of that little girlfriend of yours?” David said with some curiosity.

Chen Xu smiled and did not speak.

“So you’re going to invest in that industry called film?” John said with some curiosity.

During his time in St. Denis, he actually went to the theater with Abigail and saw some performances.

This also includes film screenings.

In this era, there were no specialized cinemas.

Theaters are generally based on stage plays, and at the same time, noon, midnight and other time periods without guests, will choose to launch movie projects.

After all, in terms of ticket prices, the former is much higher than the latter.

And now the hottest wave has passed since the birth of the movie.

“The more the economic downturn, the more prosperous this entertainment industry, such as tobacco, alcohol and gambling, and movies are one of them, the average family may not spend $1.50 to enjoy a stage play, but will spend 0.5 cents to walk into the theater to watch a movie for more than 20 minutes or more.”

Chen Xu smiled when he heard John’s words.

At the same time, he did not say one thing, that is, the mainstream of federal thought, and the influence of political values.

For today’s federal trend, conservatives have completely fallen behind.

Now, and in the coming years, it is bound to be the world of radicals.

Whether it’s the military system, or the donkey party or the elephant party.

Even conservatives will present themselves as radicals.

That maritime war allowed the Federation to acquire some colonies and gain great wealth from them.

And the federal state, from the beginning, was greed for capital.

Because of the opposition to excessive taxes, the tea pouring campaign was launched, which gave birth to the special country of the Confederation.

Listening to Chen Xu’s words, everyone nodded gently.

“[BBCE] David and I will go to Ambarino in the afternoon.” Charles also stood up and said to Chen Xu.

On the side of Falling Rain and Flying Eagle, Chen Xu couldn’t wait for them to come to St. Denis specifically to deliver the news.

And as an Indian like Falling Rain and Flying Eagle, it is obviously impossible for them to get such a thing as a telephone.

Whether it’s correspondence or email.

The time limit for delivering messages is too long, a day or two, enough to change a lot of things.

And Chen Xu can’t go to Ambarino himself now.

Some things had to be in St. Denis to be able to talk to some people and move on.

At the same time, compared to his words, Charles, who has Indian blood, is obviously more likely to win the trust of Chief Falling Rain and these people.

“You can go to Milton, I’ve already spoken to him on the phone.” Chen Xu nodded.

New Hanover had stabilized, and Milton had expanded his business to Ambarino with that group of former Pinkerton agents.

Although, because of time, Ambarino cannot be the same as in New Hanover.

But get a phone, this kind of thing is not much of a problem.

On the phone, Chen Xu was also able to arrange for them to do some things well.

Listening to Chen Xu’s words, David and Charles nodded.

After explaining some more things, Chen Xu sorted out his clothes and walked towards the direction of the living room.

When Chen Xu walked into the living room, George Ferry, who was sitting there, quickly got up and greeted him.

“Hello, Mr. Matthew.” George Ferry took the initiative to extend his hands.

He hooked his waist slightly, not like he was bent over, but definitely not straight.

Maybe it’s because in front of his daughter, he doesn’t want to be so flattering.

So that his daughter has some misunderstandings.

But in the face of Chen Xu, who can change his future, he is not enough and has no confidence.

Seeing some embarrassment from George Ferry, Chen Xu also shook hands with the other party politely, and said with a smile: “I am very good friends with Miss Jade, and I heard that Mr. George you have some ideas about the film industry?” (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!) )

Getting straight to the point, George Ferry seemed relieved.

At the same time, Jade Ferri next to him found an excuse to go to the courtyard behind the manor under the guidance of the maid.

I have to say that this is a point that Chen Xu appreciates very much.

A very smart girl.

The departure of his daughter made George Ferry seem to be less stressed.

In the face of Chen Xu’s question, he said some views and opinions that he summarized during this time.

“At the beginning of the birth of cinema, the main thing was novelty, and this happens every time technology appears.”

“At first, people were curious, and a large number of audiences came to the screen with the freshness of finding out, and the number of theaters grew rapidly.”

“But since last year, this freshness has begun to disappear, and the number of moviegoers has dropped significantly, most notably in some cities in the east, where many distributors have withdrawn from the film business without profit.”

“But starting this year, I see that the film industry seems to have some recovery, but there is a lack of something that really attracts the audience.”

“From the very beginning, audiences watch movies just to experience the most advanced technology, but after the novelty of technology, if you want to attract the audience, you have to rely on other aspects, such as the story and the performance of the actors, just like a stage play.”

“In addition to the box office, most of the current theaters are short films, mainly relying on too many films to make a profit, but too many films are often screened in tandem mode, resulting in a lot of chaos, but in Europe I found more long films, in order to increase the single revenue of the box office.” George Ferry recounted some of the things he had investigated.

Originally, Chen Xu just wanted someone who could understand these industries and follow his instructions.

But George Ferry’s words made Chen Xu have some other views on him.

This is a guy with a keen sense of the film market.

Chen Xu, who has been leading the world for more than a hundred years, knows very well that George Ferry’s words may be wrong in some details, but the general direction is indeed what he said.

“So if you were asked to build a film company, what would you do?” Chen Xu asked towards George Ferry.
