The journey starts from the Titanic

"Hollywood? Movie?" Although Hollywood is also in Los Angeles, Situ Nan has never seen it.The current movies are all silent movies, and the announcer needs to use a microphone for dubbing while playing.

I watched these ancient movies by Situ Nan when I was in New York, but I didn’t want to watch it once. The scenes are monotonous, black and white, and the plot is very naive. For Americans who have never watched a movie or are curious. Movies are a new thing, but for Situ Nan, who is used to Hollywood blockbusters in his previous life, the current movies really don’t appeal to him.

Well, this reminds Situ Nan that he should start first and be strong. When an industry has not yet developed, the pressure of competition is not so great. When the industry matures, the early enterprises will all be closed if they do not collapse. Establishing a position in the industry will bring the greatest benefits, and we are not afraid of subsequent competitors, just like Occidental Petroleum, despite its rapid development momentum, it cannot shake Mobil's position in the oil industry in the United States and the world.

The same is true for a country. After a late-comer country has developed to a certain level, it will find resistance from the first-developed country everywhere. If you want to surpass the previous country and pull down their world hegemony, apart from their own powerful Strength requires opportunity, or luck, besides its own efforts.

Germans are a good example.Before World War I, Germany's economy and its industrial strength had surpassed that of Britain and France, but his status in the world was incomparable with Britain and France.

why?It is Britain and France that developed countries that have divided the world early. Looking at the world, almost all important strategic locations in the world are controlled by the United Kingdom, Malacca, Suez, Gibraltar, South Africa, South America, etc., let alone him A huge colony, they have too many resources.

Now the routes to Europe are blocked by the Royal Navy. American merchant ships can only do business with the Allied countries. When Britain and France borrow a large sum of money from the United States, the United States will be dragged into the water by them (though he himself is willing), In the end, he can only join the camp on the side of the Allied Powers.

Therefore, it is very important to gain a leading position in the industry. Rockefeller’s oil and Morgan’s banks do not look down on Stuart, but have to be self-aware. Now they are far from being compared with those deep-rooted consortia.

Nevertheless, Situ Nan was not discouraged at all. The world stage is huge and new things are emerging one after another. In some emerging industries or industries with unlimited development potential, as long as they can work hard, there will always be rich harvests.

The First World War is a good opportunity, and nothing comes faster than a speculative war.After Situ Nan made money by investing in industry, the past two years have been smooth, without wind or waves.Quiet and thinking, the United States will join the war in less than half a year, and there will be ups and downs on Wall Street at that time, do we want to speculate in the financial market again?Situ Nan thought of something vaguely.

But this matter has to be considered for a long time, let's return to Hollywood!

Situ Nan heard that the environment in Hollywood is very good, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is pleasant, and the essence of California sunshine is concentrated there.Such is the subtropical desert climate.

Speaking of it, Situ Nan has been to Los Angeles in his previous life, and he has never been to Hollywood. He came to this world inexplicably in this life. He has lived in Los Angeles for a long time, but he has never been to Hollywood either!

Speaking of this, I also blame Edison. This patent controller controls most of the film-related patents. He also established a large film company in the east in an attempt to monopolize the American film market, but in order to escape this domineering guy, the United States Small producers in the east have rushed to Hollywood in Los Angeles.

I don’t know if there are such movie heads as DreamWorks, Disney, 20th Century Fox, Columbia, Sony, Universal, WB (Warner Bros.) and so on!Are they born yet?

Sunset Terrace, Chinese Theater, Avenue of Stars, shouldn't they?

Situ Nan suddenly remembered as if his farm was near Hollywood. He had bought it from Hengda before, but after he went to Texas to look for oil, he forgot about it.

interesting!Hollywood has not reached the prosperity of the previous life, and many movie theaters have not been established. With the development of the city, it is likely to expand to Situ Nan’s farm. It is better to keep this farm before then. Build a pig farm or something, disgusting and disgusting those movie companies!

how?Lao Tzu is a nail household, and he is still a rich nail household!How about raising pigs at the door of your film company if you die without moving?

Situ Nan is really looking forward to being a nail house in the United States. It is estimated that this will not only be unaffordable to the average people of his own Hollywood brand, but also offend those film companies. If it is made into a movie by some sinister guy, It's a shame to laugh at yourself everywhere.How about the title of the film "The Story Situ Nan and the Pig Have to Tell"?

Should you invest in a film company?It doesn't seem to cost much money!

One or two machines, three or four workers, plus five, six, seven or eight runners, and the ninth one is unnecessary, and it can be turned on without sending a lunch box when it comes.

what?Want to direct a screenwriter?Is there a protagonist?

Will it be okay to ask him to write, direct, and act soon?

This is still the film’s formation period. The conditions in all aspects are incomparable with later ones. It is quite crude. Many people who were engaged in film in the early stage really did almost all of them. At least now the film is not an industry, not so many. Fine division of labor.

I don't know if you can have a hidden rule?Beautiful women are like clouds!

"Hey!" Situ Nan smiled absurdly at the thought of here!

This widowed illness made Situ Nan's heart faintly excited, and he became more and more interested in movies.

"What are you laughing at?" Song Meiling saw Situ Nan smiled evilly.

"Am I smiling? No!" Situ Nan refused to admit it, but the saliva on his lips betrayed him.After staying in San Francisco for a few days, the food, food, play, negotiation, negotiation, and the general arrangement are all arranged. It depends on the specific practice step by step. Staying here will not work anymore, so Situ Nan decided to return south.

But this time they chose to take a boat back to Los Angeles, because Thomas finally confirmed that Rocky had been staring at Situ Nan and the others after a lot of hard work. He investigated that Rocky was going to intercept them on the way Situ Nan and the others were taking the train.

For safety reasons, Situ Nan decided to return by boat.

"Rocky, these damn bastards are really lingering! See how I clean him!" Situ Nan patted the railing of the ship's side fiercely.

This is the deck of the first-class cabin. There are no other people, only Thomas, Situ Nan, and Han Gang.

"Our people caught a small boss of Rocky's. He was quite tough at first, but we used some tricks, and he said all of them. The big KKK boss gave Rocky a task to find A secret clue or something, I only know that the clue is there,...on He Xiangu."

Thomas paused for a moment, and then he spoke.In his opinion, the relationship between Situ Nan and He Xiangu was a bit ambiguous.

"Secret? I hate this word. It's too nerve-wracking. What are they looking for?" Situ Nan thought of the old man who was beaten to death by Rocky on the street the night before he arrived in San Francisco. Rocky bowed his head.

It stands to reason that Rocky shouldn’t be forced to ask in public. Instead, he should secretly kidnap Uncle He Xian and her daughter to a hidden place and then follow up. However, Rocky has always been arrogant. With his good relationship with the police, he wanted to find a Chinese. The old man wants something and hasn't called out obediently, so why bother?

At first, Rocky didn’t think about killing the old Chinese man, but the old man was too casual. Later, Rocky was angry and his temper was fierce. Seeing that the old man was so ignorant, he became even more impenetrable. Killed him, and a bunch of guys from unknown origins appeared, with more skill than himself.

Naturally find the place back after suffering!What's more, a person like Rocky who must report to him?

However, Rocky didn't dare to act rashly before figuring out the origins of Situ Nan and his group.

However, he found out that Situ Nan and the others lived in Chinatown and had good relations with the Chinese in Chinatown, so Rocky made a plan to instigate the Japanese samurai Nakamura to go to the door to provoke them, and then swept their halls when Anliangtang was not sufficiently staffed. .

These are not the main purpose of Rocky, his main purpose is to distract everyone, and then quietly send someone to take He Xiangu away.

Originally, Rocky was almost ready to succeed. He had successfully sneaked into the yard where Situ Nan lived that day, but unfortunately he didn’t dare to do it, because there were three or four people in the yard who were no better than him. They were very vigilant and wanted It's not that Rocky walked fast, maybe they found it.

In the next few days, Rocky never had a chance. He Xiangu didn’t go out, and Rocky didn’t even have a chance to start. Moreover, after Tangkou was mopped up, An Liangtang increased his vigilance. A white person in Rocky always appeared in Chinatown. After the miss, Luo Qiyan died. He had arranged enough manpower to stop Situ Nan and the others when he was working on the train, but he did not expect that the duck with his mouth would fly. Why would Luo Qi not be angry?This damn woman went by boat?

train station.Rocky rushed up with a group of people and surrounded the two cars.

"Where are the people?" Rocky felt a little uncomfortable seeing the car empty.

Under his threat, the driver had to say that Situ Nan and his group got off the bus halfway, but they still paid for them to continue running to the train station, picking up someone by the way, and returning with a pay of $10.

"Who is it?" Rocky lifted the driver easily with one hand, and shouted, "Say it!"

"Ro... Qi!" said the coachman shudderingly.

"Fuck!" Rocky was so angry that he realized that the other party might see through his plan, and he played a trick on himself.

"Shit! How did you do the information?" Rocky grabbed a man next to him, lifted him up, and yelled, splashing saliva constantly spraying from his mouth onto the poor man's face.

"Go to hell!" Rocky's crockpot-like fist hit his subordinate's face, and the poor guy lost his teeth and his face was swollen like a pig's head.

At this moment, a man sitting in a car not far from Rocky, saw Rocky's annoyed look, smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth moved, his eyes were mimi, started the car, and drove quickly pier.

Chapter 39 New Signboard: Cummins

"Master, is Mr. Xu looking for you?" He Xiangu came over, carrying Xu Zhouyang behind her back.

This girl didn't know that Situ Nan was just discussing about her!

"Stone, you really have a leisure time!" Xu Zhouyang looked at the wide sea and smiled cheerfully.

"I can't talk about leisure time, come out to blow the air, people are more comfortable." Situ Nan has a deep understanding of the boat. When he was a crew member on the Titanic before, he liked to watch the sea on the deck. It was a whole day, when he was on the deck facing the sea with the sadness of bereavement of loved ones and the melancholy of knowing the sinking of the Titanic.

Now Situ Nan has also become a first-class passenger, but he doesn't like to talk to the innocent people who think that they are superior and have little money but who think they are rich and powerful. , So the habit of watching the sea blowing wind on the deck is retained.
