Chapter 718 To conquer the world must conquer its spirit
monopoly!
By monopolizing theater chains, we can determine what Europeans and Americans will watch in the future.
What to listen to?
What is cultural export?
This is the real cultural output.
"The most important thing is that our theaters play our movies and spread our culture and civilization. Cheng Kun, I see..."
After thinking for a while, Emperor Zhu Da said directly.
"I think we can first find a way to open 500 cinemas in Europe, Chinese cinemas, and play our movies in those cinemas!"
There are 500 movie theaters, which can basically cover all major cities in Europe and the United States.
"These cinemas can be opened in big cities first. In big cities like London, Paris, Berlin, and New York, ten to twenty cinemas can be opened to monopolize the cinemas in big cities first, and then spread to small and medium-sized cities.
Ultimately, we want to control their theater chain!"
If possible, all of them, if not, at least most of them.
"Your Majesty, as for the problem of movie machines and film..."
Before Cheng Kun could finish his words, Emperor Zhu directly waved his hand and said.
"Projectors and film are not the problem. Let the factory find ways to increase production capacity. This is no longer a business, but... a war!"
Of course this is a war.
This is a cultural war.
It can even be said to be a war between traditional Chinese culture and Western culture. Why would European and American culture become a strong culture in another world and influence all countries in the world? Is it just because of their technological development today?
Of course it's not just that.
To a large extent, it is the cultural output of Hollywood that has indeed influenced the whole world in a subtle way. The splendid American culture and American values are conveyed to people all the time through Hollywood movies.
, has profoundly affected countless people around the world.
Hollywood movies always carry the cultural mission of spreading the American spirit. Personal heroism, liberalism, and humanitarianism are the three major elements of the so-called American spirit. This is how American values are widely spread around the world through Hollywood movies.
Movies are not simply entertainment. The values they convey will have a profound impact on the spiritual consciousness of the entire society and even cause fission and reverse reorganization. In the end, American Hollywood movies conquered the world and conquered the world.
He has taught countless people and passed on their values and worldview to people in other countries around the world.
But what ended up being formed?
Not only do they tend to identify with European and American values, but even aesthetics are deeply affected.
Since what Hollywood can do, Ming Dynasty can also do.
What are the four pillars of American hegemony in another world?
Isn't it just high technology, military, US dollars and Hollywood?
What does Daming have now?
There is technology.
There is military.
Yes... It's not realistic to use Ming Yuan to harvest the world now, but Hollywood...
As long as you are willing to be enlightened, you can have your own Hollywood at any time.
Because only Ming Dynasty owns movie cameras and film films, Ming Dynasty can completely use its technical monopoly to promote Ming Dynasty's values and oriental aesthetics around the world, at least to influence people all over the world in a subtle way.
Influence their values and change their aesthetics.
In the end, through this kind of cultural export, Ming Dynasty will win... at least gain the upper hand in this conflict of civilizations.
This thing is simply perfect.
At this moment, Emperor Zhu Da even felt a little regretful. Why didn't he realize the role of movies until now?
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
It seems a bit late.
Fortunately, everything is in time. After all, Ming Dynasty is currently leading the way. Through its monopoly on new technologies, Ming Dynasty can establish its own cultural output system around the world in the next few years.
This is definitely not a college.
It is the most popular entertainment among European and American people.
Penny Movie!
Is there any cheaper entertainment than movies?
Even in times of economic crisis, movie theaters have always made money.
"It seems that we need to carefully prepare a few scripts,"
Emperor Zhu Da sighed to himself.
Although he had used movies to threaten Americans before and forced them to make concessions in the "Los Angeles Incident", at that time, due to cost constraints, especially the high cost of film, the movies had not been able to be expanded.
Although Emperor Zhu Da established a film company, he put it aside. Even the Universal Film Company was basically exclusive to the royal family, with at most some dignitaries and soldiers added.
What a mistake!
Now that you have made a mistake, find a way to make up for it.
"I have to write at least ten scripts to make up for the mistakes I made!"
Emperor Zhu Da was simply too good at scripts. After all, he had read countless films in another world. There must have been some teachings from the island nation’s teacher Dundun, but that thing was still left to the Japanese to film.
Emperor Zhu Da had also seen many works by masters like Chaplin.
"You can definitely bring over movies like Chaplin's "The Gold Rush" and "Modern Times," and you can also get some other silent movies, action movies like those in old Hong Kong movies?"
Of course, it's not impossible. Anyway, ordinary people in this era, where entertainment activities are scarce, don't have the appetite for all kinds of entertainment activities and blockbusters like people in later generations. Those movies are enough to conquer them.
"We can also shoot some romance movies."
After thinking for a while, Emperor Zhu turned his head and said to Cheng Kun.
"Look at the scripts of some romance movies. Love, handsome guys and beauties, everyone will definitely like to watch it. I'll watch it, but you have to pay attention to the following points. In the movie, the male protagonist must be our Mingren, and as for the female
As for the protagonist, I’ll use a European, British, American, or Latino. Yes, a yellow man and a white woman!”
When he said this, Emperor Zhu Da suddenly thought of the strange phenomena he had seen in those years in another world - Hollywood movies, more and more black men and white women on TV,
It simply blinded him.
However, I have to say that those in Hollywood have successfully changed the views of many people through this so-called "politically correct" movie. Even adult movies have followed the fashion and launched some "BBC",
What is "dirty"?
Since Hollywood can distort Americans' deep-rooted thoughts through movies, can't Ming Dynasty establish a new value system?
What is the new aesthetic?
Of course China is the most beautiful!
"Your Majesty, what is a romance movie?"
Cheng Kun was a little confused. Even though he was already in his thirties, he really didn't know what love was.
"It's "The West Chamber", it's "Romeo and Juliet", it's all kinds of love between men and women..."
Emperor Zhu Da suddenly felt a little helpless. He didn't know if they had misunderstood the meaning of "all kinds of love between men and women". But it was obvious that the people of this era were a little unfamiliar with love.
