Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

It’s not that there is no way, it just requires thinking. Let’s first take a look at the history and process of the movie.

As early as 1888-1895, France, the United States, Britain, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Sweden and other countries had experiments with filming and showing images. In 1888, Frenchman Renault trial-produced an "optical movie camera" and used it to shoot the world's first cartoon "A Cup of Delicious Beer." In 1889, the American inventor Edison invented the movie camera and after five years of experiments, in 1895, he invented the movie mirror. Not only would such a sight glass be inferior in the future world, it would still be crude even now, but Alfonso had to admit that Edison was powerful.

After he invented the motion picture mirror, Edison showed the film images he shot in New York, which caused a sensation in the United States. But his movie scope can only be viewed by one person at a time, and it can display dozens of feet of film at a time, and the content is horse racing, dance performances, etc. His movie scope uses the continuous rotation of film to create the illusion of movement. It can be said that the most original movie invention belongs to Edison.

However, there are still accidents, especially this accident that happened in France, which was a powerful country at the same time. In 1895, the French brothers Auguste Lumière and Louis Lumière successfully developed the "Movie Cinema" based on Edison's "Movie Mirror" and their own "continuous camera". . The "movable movie machine" has three main functions: photography, projection and printing. It shoots and displays movies at a speed of 16 frames per second, with clear and stable images.

On March 22, 1895, they premiered the film "The Gates of the Lumiere Factory" at the French Science and Technology Conference in Paris and achieved success. On December 28 of the same year, they officially released a batch of documentary short films produced by themselves to the public at the Grand Café No. 14, rue Capucine in Paris. There are 12 films including "The Train Arrives at the Station", "Water the Gardener", "Baby's Lunch", and "Factory Gate". The Lumiere brothers were the first to project films onto screens. Many later historians believed that the Lumière brothers' filming and screening activities had moved away from the experimental stage. Therefore, they designated December 28, 1895, the day when the world's cinema was first released, as the birth of the film. The El brothers are certainly worthy of being called the "Fathers of Cinema".

However, this forms two central points in the film world, that is, who is the father of film? If you ask people in the American film industry who invented cinema, they will all answer in unison: "It was Edison." But if you ask the French again, they will say: "It was Lumière!" So who is the real inventor of cinema? Answer: Both of them, they complement each other! According to records: In 1888, Edison began to study moving photos. When Eastman invented the continuous negative, Edison immediately bought the continuous negative and asked William Kennedy and Raleigh Dickson to start research. In October of the following year, Dickson presented the results of his research and photographed them as moving horses. This was the earliest photographic success in the history of film.

After his success, Edison continued to immerse himself in deeper research. In 1890, he applied for a patent for movable pictures. These movable pictures could be taken forty times per second. This was the origin of modern film. In 1891, Thomas Alva Edison applied for a patent for an image projection tube and photographic device, the originator of the "zoetrope" film. Thomas Alva Edison's idea for inventing the peepshow movie was that since the peepshow could only be "peeped" by one person at a time, it would increase profits by riding on people's curiosity, so the movie was Time is very popular. Soon, Thomas Alva Edison created the world's earliest sound studio, which greatly contributed to the development of movies. Initially, in Europe, some people were also doing research on these event photos. ….

In 1895, two people in London named Bad Aika and R.W. Paul improved the initial studio and held performances in front of the public. At the same time, there were two brothers named Louis Lumière and Auguste Lumière in France. They projected photos on the curtain, thus attracting a large number of curious viewers. This begins the screening of the movie. The Lumière brothers then previewed a film called "The Lumière Factory Gate" at the Paris Industrial Prize Society. In December of the same year, it was officially released to the public in the underground hall of the "Grand Café" on Rue Boucineau in Paris. Twelve films, and tickets are on sale. In September of the same year, tickets were also sold for screenings of this type of projection film at the World's Fair held in Atlanta, USA. It can be seen from this that as early as the birth of the movie, it has been inseparable from profit-making. Pioneer Lumière, a French chemist who co-invented the motion picture camera and projector with Louis Nord, was a pioneer in film experiments.

This is what Alfonso learned about movies after combining the investigation data over the years, and the open-air screening venues in the United States were what caught his attention this time. What Chavez said is not bad. He had already decided to use French Lumière to contain Edison. He was even willing to pay for Lumière's patent. After all, no matter whether this patent is cracked by anti-monopoly or he can continue to make money, it is a sure profit for him, so why not?

"What if we buy Luemi's patent?"

"This..." This moment really left them speechless. Of course they knew about the movie love and hatred between Lumière and Edison, and the current relationship between the United States and Spain, so indirect support for Lumière. It's not something difficult.

"Come in." Alfonso frowned and glanced at the door of the conference room. The meeting in this conference room has always been very important to the empire. Anyone who is familiar with it knows that, and it has been explained before the meeting. Aragorn, Captain of the Guards, there is no major incident happening, so don’t disturb them, but it does still ring now.

"Aragorn walked in and quickly came to Alfonso's side. He whispered in Alfonso's ear: "Your Majesty, I just received news that the US government has publicly condemned Ecuador for deliberately slandering their diplomats. Innocent, then President Theodore Roosevelt has signed and written a personal letter to President Rafael asking him to hand over the murderer to the US court for review, otherwise the United States will not rule out the possibility of taking military action. According to our news in the United States, the U.S. Pacific Fleet has begun to assemble and has just officially begun to leave the port and sail to the south. "

Finally taking action? Alfonso's eyes flashed when he heard the news. After taking a look at the telegram on the table, he sent it to Eugene. After looking at each one, their faces showed deep thoughts.

"Your Majesty, should we do it now?" Cerveira couldn't help but ask first. For their navy, what could be more exciting than this? Thinking of the rapid rise of the United States in recent years, Spain has As the navy of a world power, they were timid in America. It was very frustrating. He had long wanted to teach them a lesson, but he had no chance. Now that this fighter plane appeared, he couldn't bear it. So I couldn't wait to get up. But i Alfonso's words quickly discouraged him.

"Marshal. It seems that you can't go to the front line now, and I don't just count this part and insert myself into the two countries. After all, a good knife is used with a steel blade."
