Chapter 162: Movie order

But? Now that the patents for movies are in his hands, Sheffield's status is equivalent to that. The film patent company that dominated the early American films. The reason why Hollywood became a film gathering place in the early days was to avoid the censorship of American film patent companies. An early hegemony company in the field of film belongs to Edison.
Because the film was actually invented by the French, the Union of Film Patent Companies also includes French film companies. Film patent companies have obtained various film patent authorizations, naturally in order to pursue monopoly like the current giants of various industries in the United States.
It is required that every theater in the United States must pay a tribute of five dollars a week, and the publisher must pay a rent of five thousand dollars every year, and independent producers are not allowed to shoot any one without the consent and license of the film patent company. Movies.
At the beginning, the trajectory was created by running the standard oil model. I want to get a standard oil in the film industry, but now Edison certainly does not have this ability. Sheffield made a trip to Europe, and the film patent is the top priority. More importantly, Edison can deal with others under the support of Morgan, and it is impossible to deal with himself.
What's more, Sheffield realized that movie patents were a full ten years earlier than Edison, and first came to Hollywood. Where DreamWorks is, it is now because of his thoughts that he decides whether he will be a farm or a DreamWorks in the future.
Now Sheffield has two options to copy Edison ’s path, but although he must be stronger than Edison, it is almost impossible to succeed. He can only use movie patents to charge protection fees for several years, and Hollywood will definitely not Re-exist.
The second option is the Google model, which pretends to be open source and actually crams private goods among film practitioners. The film patents in hand are not used as weapons or used, but as a last resort.
Google's Android system can't be compared with Apple's system at all. If you don't choose open source and let manufacturers around the world help you, Android system only depends on Google itself, and there will be no left by Apple. Google has always been a younger brother in front of Apple.
However, the Android system is open source, and the power of the major manufacturers is gathered to catch up with Apple, so that the weak Google can gain a foothold. From this process, private goods are stuffed, along with the mobile phones of the major manufacturers and the family bucket, Google has become a powerful the company. This set is very beautiful to play with chicken and eggs.
It is precisely because the Apple system is closed, so all software must cooperate with Apple. But Android is the mainstream of the market, and Apple has become increasingly unable to cope with major Android manufacturers.
Sheffield can also pretend to be tolerant, and even conversely, use the patents in her hands to attract various filmmakers to settle in Hollywood, and establish Hollywood's status in advance. Anyway, he wants to use California as the main business base.
"I also said from Harvey City Councilor that a young and wealthy guest was very interested in my manor and met for the first time, but I have to say, William, you are younger than I thought." Wilcox He was very happy to extend his hand, and she and Sheffield held together, there is a big hate to meet late.
"Mr. Wilcox is a visionary real estate businessman who must admit that you have fulfilled your dream and become the envy of people. This is really a good place." Sheffield glanced around with satisfaction. This is Hollywood. It ’s a place to feed to the whole world. Now people who may give to the whole world will become themselves. It ’s really exciting to think about it.
Now at least part of the traditional media is already in the hands of Sheffield, and then put Hollywood in the hands, Sheffield can reverse the black and white at will, he can say whatever he wants.
Following the Wilcox couple entering the manor, Sheffield's unprecedented excitement brought a serious film company to the San Fernando Valley and put all the unscrupulous companies in Hollywood, which is actually not impossible.
"I'm disturbed. I brought a lot of people. I have a problem with this person. I can't go too far away from people I don't know. Thanks to the generous master for understanding." Sheffield smiled and apologized. In place.
"It turned out to be like this!" Wilcox did not see through, and did not debunk the fact that the rich are greedy for life and death. If he knew that Sheffield just wanted to transform his hard-working town into a world adult movie. The center may not be so polite, and it is not impossible to speak fragrantly.
At this time, Hollywood already has a post office, a newspaper, a hotel, and two markets. For a small town of only a few hundred people, it can already be considered as something that should be available, and there is a tram to Los Angeles a dozen kilometers away.
Of course, the land passing by this tram has already been bought. The land at the end of the nineteenth century is really cheap. If California or Los Angeles wants to reclaim this land in the future, Sheffield will definitely cooperate, as long as the market price is ten. Just take it back.
Between Hollywood and Los Angeles, there is still a large wilderness. There are no high-rise buildings at all. There are knees and loess exposed everywhere. The carriage runs on the road and the dust is dusty. Sheffield will make it more beautiful here, and it's a contribution to California.
"Compared to when I came here ten years ago, the conditions here are much better now, and I have also fulfilled my wife's dream!" Wilcox looked at his wife with affectionate eyes, not caring at all. The presence of minors, such a show of love, "My wife likes it very much."
"There is still more potential here, and the connection with Los Angeles is still inconvenient after all." Sheffield made full use of his conversation skills and wanted to knock on the side and ask something, such as Will Cox's Estate sell? But having said that, he seems to have been doing this kind of thing since last year.
Unfortunately, Wilcox did not want to betray his own estate, saying he was very comfortable living here. Sheffield is also not demanding, he is not a person who wants to eat all the benefits, otherwise he will not repeatedly take over the acquisition, leaving the founder team and giving a fairly good treatment.
Considering that Wilcox is a real estate agent, in other words, a rich person, Sheffield changed a way to chat with each other, just like a woman likes to talk about money with the poor, and talk about feelings with the rich. No one gets the same.
Sheffield did the same, talking about money with the poor and feelings and ideals with the rich, but he always succeeded because he was a rich man himself.
During lunch time, Sheffield inserted a small steak and looked at it. It is indeed so small compared to the size of Texas. I wonder if my Texas bodyguards can eat enough?
"I personally want to do a little business in this small town. I'm fancy with the comfortable environment here. I don't know Mr. Wilcox. Will I help me buy a piece of land." Since it is impossible to swallow the other manor's manor Sheffield stayed patient and was prepared to use a slow but effective method.
It can be called the sausage-cutting tactic or warm-water boiled frog. If Wilcox disagrees, it will inevitably reduce the favorability of both sides. Although Sheffield is not greedy, he will not give himself any benefits. , This is another problem.
"I personally do not exclude Mr. William to come to do business and do not know what to do?" Wilcox did not say that he could not talk. In fact, although he is the largest manor in Hollywood, many of the land belongs to other residents. He also There is no need to object.
"I first spoke only because I was afraid of causing some resentment from some citizens. Now it seems that I want too much." Sheffield smiled softly and smiled. "In fact, there is nothing special about a hotel, a theater and a film company. . "
The Sheffield words inspired the instincts of Wilcox real estate merchants and agreed very much, "Really? Is there a theater? In fact, the residents of the town are very bored and really need a place that can be relaxed."
If you can attract some people to settle down, Wilcox ’s manor is even more valuable. Now Wilcox does n’t know what kind of people it will attract. Just instinctively know that your land may appreciate in value.
The Hollywood Manor is only 0.6 square kilometers. In fact, in the United States, nothing counts. Even if Sheffield does not buy land from the other party, she can build another one from the side of the town.
After staying in Hollywood for two days, Sheffield officially listed Sheffield Film Company in Hollywood. After considering it for a long time, he still removed the term patent from the name of the film company.
At present, the main property of the film company is many patents about the film. Without an actor, there is naturally no film technology talent. In the following days, Sheffield bought land around Hollywood. After all this was completed, he was officially prepared to carry out One step.
Since returning from Europe last year, Sheffield United has acted like a mouse, chasing the pioneers of the nascent film industry to fight the lawsuit, and has achieved unfavorable effects throughout the year. It can be said that the only fish in the net was New York some time ago, because the other party found the Vanderbilt family, and finally Sheffield bought a suite from the other party to open a supermarket for exchange and let go of the bad luck.
"An open letter was published in our newspaper, stating that we are willing to settle with other filmmakers. I will be waiting for them in Los Angeles!" Sheffield knocked on the table, "I believe they will come."
