Long Hao talked endlessly for more than an hour, but as expected, both Lumiel brothers were shocked: Is this Chinese king really the first time he came into contact with movies? Why do I feel that he has formed a movie?

All we need to do in the whole set of theories is to follow his orders?

"Okay, I am a businessman. When I invest in movies, I naturally see the commercial value it contains! Therefore, you two are both my partners and my employees, so you are responsible for bringing me a lot of money.

profit!"

"How does the profit come from? That is to shoot a movie as I just said, and then put the movie in a big room. Well, it is several hundred times larger than your basement! It can be played in a big room that can accommodate at least one hundred people.

...If people who want to see come in and buy tickets. If they think it looks good, they will promote it. We can also copy the film and transport it to various cities for screening..."

"This is what I think the future of movies, so it's very simple to satisfy me. Please make such a movie and make money for us! The first step is not difficult, it only takes thirty minutes... A short and concise can be compelling.

The script is enough, and the actors don't need too many. The tall, handsome and charming two protagonists seem to be enough. Okay, that's all. What do you think, the two Lumiers

Mr. Er?"

After a long time, when Long Hao poured a glass of red wine filled with drizzle, his brother August murmured: "Your Majesty Hao, I am convinced. I will do whatever you say!"

My younger brother Louis pounded the table and said, "Listen to you is better than reading for ten years (of course, the general idea is that the French do not understand the profound Chinese sayings). I will look for actors now, as an actor! I wrote the script before.

After a love joke, thirty minutes should be enough to fill it up!”

"Okay, it seems that you two finally understand!"

Long Hao raised his cup, ordered the drizzle to pour a little red wine, shook it, and toasted to the two Lumiels: "cheers, I wish you and I wish us success as soon as possible! Ah, by the way, you can first

Go cash the checks. Improve the script, arrange the shooting scenes, and select actors to put them in place... At the latest three days, I will bring you surprises!"

"Cheers, toast to our 'Golden Can Film'!"

"Cheers! Cheers to the past!"

By the way, Jincan Pictures is the film company jointly owned by Long Hao and Lumiel, the first film company in Los Angeles.

When the Lumiere brothers exchanged the cash and rushing to prepare for the filming in full swing, the surprise came early.

But on the third morning, Long Hao and three people knocked on the door of the Lumier brothers.

"Oh, Your Majesty Hao. Please forgive me for opening the door slowly... Is this a surprise?"

After waiting for ten minutes, his brother August opened the door. He looked sleepy and had a beard, and his whole body was filled with a temperament called "director" in his later generations.

In the past two days, the Lumier brothers have not had more than five hours of sleeping time, and it is the excitement in their bodies that supports them to build their dreams.

"Haha, go in and say. Let me see your preparations."

Long Hao smiled and didn't care. When he walked into the room, it was originally a living room, but now it has become a grocery store, and it is also a grocery store after the hurricane swept.

Utensils and rubber plates scattered all over the floor, on the table and in the corners. Paper flies around, waste paper is clustered, and there is even colorful fuel on the walls, sliding downward. It has a very Picasso charm...

"Sorry, it's too messy. Please sit down and find a place to sit."

My younger brother Louis just woke up and was wiping his face with a black towel that looked like a rag.

The Lumiere brothers only knew one of the three people brought by Long Hao, and that was the beautiful little girl who was with Long Hao, while the other two were men, one was a young man and the other was a middle-aged man. If there is anything similar, it is that they all look handsome.

The Lumiere brothers vaguely knew what this surprise came from.

"Haha, I won't sit anymore. Let me introduce it first, and then we will go to a Cantonese teahouse for morning tea. The crab roe and shrimp dumplings there are very authentic."

Under Long Hao's introduction, the identities of the three people were revealed to the Lumiere brothers one by one.

Needless to say, it was a lively and cute drizzle.

The young man is called Atangge, a typical handsome guy, with his facial features cut by a chisel, long black hair like ink, and a perfect body as carved as a carved body. Except for being a little shorter, he can hardly find any problem. .

It seems like a template God has set for a beautiful man!

And that handsome old man, named Nikola Tesla, is a scientist after Long Hao’s introduction!

The Lumiere brothers came to their senses until they sat down in the teahouse: these two handsome guys seem to be quite famous!

Atangge, an idol-selling sheriff in Alaska, once swept across the United States and even spread across the ocean to Europe. Many wives in the boudoir had offered high prices and were willing to go with this idol. .

However, with the establishment of Alaska, major chaebols entered the mining industry, and the news rarely came out, and this Atang Pavilion seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared.

You know, the idol trend is always hot. After about half a year, no news about Ah Tangge has been heard again. This sheriff, who was once known as the number one handsome man under the age of 20 in the United States, has gradually been forgotten.

The Lumiel brothers can remember him thanks to a fat noble who used to visit their photo studio. The fat lady asked her to take a photo of a couple's bed with Atangge's avatar, which made her look like Lumiere's photo studio was in a mess for a month. If it weren't for the damn franc, Old Lumiere would have killed and dismembered the fat nobleman!

Compared to Atangge, Nikola Tesla has become much more famous recently.

This genius scientist who was once forced to the point of nowhere by Edison has now become a sensational figure! After the Alchemy Kingdom signed a ceasefire agreement with the United States, he appeared in public as a tenured professor of the Alchemy Kingdom and transformed into a family The president of the Power Company vigorously promotes AC power in four western states.

In the western United States, the per capita GDP is not high, so Edison's power grid industry did not focus on its promotion... This also gave Tesla a chance.

Thanks to the full funding of the Alchemy Kingdom, Tesla promoted AC electricity at no cost when it came to the promotion.

Scoop up users with massive discounts and show the company's strength with heavy investments. The alternating power plant built in the city of San Francisco alone cost a total of 8.78 million US dollars!

In terms of money burning, it was the largest power plant in the United States at that time.

In contrast, Edison's DC power plants have become small-scale pediatric departments!

Such a big move, and after being promoted by newspapers and media, it became even more out of control.

Tesla Electric Power Company published an announcement in the newspaper, saying that when the AC power plant officially starts operation next year, any user who makes an appointment in advance can enjoy a 50% discount on electricity use within three years!

The unit price of AC power offered by Tesla is much lower than Edison's DC power. If you get a 50% discount, it will be almost for free. Those smart users were almost shocked after private calculations: This is even more than burning kerosene.

It’s much cheaper! CTDY, whoever doesn’t need AC power is a big fool!

In just three months, Tesla Electric Power Company released data to the public shows that there are more than 600,000 users making appointments!

This is an amazing number in the relatively poor western United States!

Tesla is so proud that Edison naturally wants to stumbling on him. Try to make him fall.

How to trip up?

The price war is not feasible first. Although Edison has a big fortune, his main project is not electricity. If he plays a price reduction card with Tesla for DC and plays a war of attrition, let alone the shareholders agree or not.

Even Edison had to give up after estimating for a moment.

The reason can't be simple. Tesla's money is obviously sponsored by Long Hao. Just look at his appearance who doesn't spend money as money. Edison was envious and jealous, and sighed in his heart: Tesla is lucky

, I found such a boss who is big-handed and stupid, has a lot of money! Humph, Long Hao, right? I asked you to invest in Tesla. I curse you to be dragged down by this Croatian madman sooner or later!

Price wars don't work, and Edison naturally asked for help to get to know the super chaebol. Soon, the U.S. House of Representatives announced that companies in the federal territory must use DC power for their production electricity, while residents must pay an extra 30 if they do not use DC power.

% electricity tax!

As soon as the bill was released, it was immediately strongly opposed by enterprises and residents led by the four western states.

When will the federal government use the law to help a company win unfair competition?

Isn’t the United States a country that boasts of freedom and democracy?

Why, aren’t we going to choose a cheap power company?

What about our right to choose? Have you deprived it of it?

Members who issued this bill, are you sure you didn't receive bribes from Edison?

Investigation, we ask for investigation!

Corruption, we demand anti-corruption!

...

Opposition voices rose from time to time, and even many companies from the eastern region joined the opposition team.

Because they keenly foresee that the development of electricity will be extremely rapid in the next few years. If this "ridiculous" bill is passed, Edison will become an uncontrollable "power king"! It is rare that there is a special one now

Sla is fighting with him, and he doesn't have to fight for money. Why don't we sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight?

The more fierce the two of them fight, the lower the price of electricity will drop, and the more profit we consumers can benefit!

What's more, the guy Tesla promised that in the next three years, he would build a large alternating power plant in the eastern United States. At that time, the only power transportation problem that plagues these eastern companies will be solved.

Neither Edison nor the super chaebol who supported him nor the bribery of lawmakers expected that this bill to suppress AC electricity would lead to such a strong counterattack.

Public opinion was stormy and criticized Paoshan. In desperation, the bill was declared invalid after only five days of its implementation. A member of the congressman who proposed to pass the bill resigned in disgrace.

The White House once again became a laughing stock of the western media. For this reason, President Cleveland was so angry that he vomited blood in his office that he scolded the resigned members for not having a brain. However, no matter how he scolded him, he had to come out to hold a press conference with a slight face.

Clarify the accident and calm the bill storm.

At the press conference, the President gritted his teeth and said that in the past, now, and in the future, the United States will not use administrative means to suppress legal enterprises.

And to express the sincerity of the White House's apology, President Cleveland sent a friendly signal to Tesla's AC power company, saying that the door to the eastern United States has always been open to Tesla, and welcomed him to invest in and build factories to promote the development of the power industry.

A U.S. citizen also has the right to choose between alternating current and direct current…

In this farce, Tesla, supported by the media under Longhao, was proud and shameless. The newspaper serialization for seven consecutive days was released nationwide, which clarified the injustice that AC power had suffered for many years.

The pictures and text descriptions of the American people have learned that AC power is not only cheap, but also safe. It is not the electricity of death that Edison said before!

For a time, after learning that the White House had lowered its high head against AC power, many people spontaneously appeared in several major cities in the eastern United States. They walked to the streets and asked to go to Tesla's power company for pre-installation registration.

They hope to enjoy the AC power as soon as possible when it is laid in the east and get the same discount as the people in the west.

The battle between AC and DC ended with Edison's side failing to lose money, but the matter did not end there. When John Rockefeller paid attention to this matter, he immediately directed his subordinates and made it clear that he must suppress Tesla.
