The mage in the late Qing Dynasty
Chapter 1102: The anger and helplessness of patent trolls
Zhao Chuanxin looked at his daughter with a smile: "You are roaring with great energy. I see that you are almost healed, so I will take you back to The Hague."
"Oops, I'm a little dizzy and want to have diarrhea."
"..."
Zhao Chuanxin took his daughter for a walk around Africa.
Xingyue is responsible for collecting data on the density of organisms wherever he passes.
"Come here quickly, it's okay." Zhao Lingjun was summoning a grosbeak.
Banner people outside Guanwai like to raise wax-billed finches because of their loud and melodious calls.
But this is just the São Tomé's waxbill, which is about to become extinct.
Lao Zhao takes the photos, while Boss Zhao is responsible for narrowing the distance between people and animals.
Having already shot a lot of images, Zhao Chuanxin thought he would simply shoot more and edit a documentary.
Zhao Lingjun could tell what her father was thinking: "Dad, why don't we send me back after we finish filming."
Zhao Chuanxin looked at his daughter who was showing her teeth and said helplessly: "Then you explain it to your mother yourself."
The couple spent more than an hour writing in big brother’s ink, and finally decided on a plan—Zhao Chuanxin went to Nurden Fort to pick up the queen and shoot together.
This time Zhao Lingjun neither had diarrhea nor became confused.
The two set off from the Congo.
Instead, Zhao Lingjun urged Lao Zhao not to waste time and try to minimize the number of stops on the way to the Netherlands.
Before Wilhelmina had time to blame, she was dragged into the third generation of dragon by the two men.
A family of three rushed to the North Pole, first to Iceland, then to Greenland, and then straight to Newfoundland.
"Come on, let me put on a simple makeup for you two before you go on camera."
Zhao Chuanxin braided Zhao Lingjun's crotch braids, then untied the Queen's original complicated hairstyle, washed it with warm water to make it fluffy, and casually tied it at the back of the head to remove the carvings naturally.
Zhao Chuanxin photographed the aurora, harp seals, Greenland sharks, narwhals...
Wilhelmina first recited the lines prepared by Zhao Chuanxin for her, while Zhao Lingjun comforted the animals.
Zhao Chuanxin carried a camera to follow and film.
There is a polar bear in the distance. Wilhelmina, who is wearing a long down jacket, said: "In the past fifty years, the number of wild animals has decreased by 46%. Rich resources are still there. As long as we can understand how the natural world works, we can find ways to help it." The method of recovery is related to the fate of mankind..."
The coast of Peru in South America is lined with small islands and towering cliffs standing thousands of feet tall.
Zhao Chuanxin took the photo from a high altitude and gradually zoomed in closer.
On the ground are millions of seabirds.
Zooming in and zooming out again, Zhao Lingjun stroked the back of a seabird. Wilhelmina stood in the middle of a group of birds and raised her head and said: "Every morning, seabirds leave their gathering place to go fishing in one of the most fertile oceans on earth... …”
Under the sea water, Zhao Chuanxin carried a closed camera to film a boobies, like a cannonball drilling into the water, and accurately clamped a fish with its beak.
The camera follows it as it surfaces.
There is a small wooden boat on the water, and Wilhelmina and Zhao Lingjun are sitting on the wooden boat.
When Wilhelmina saw Zhao Chuanxin emerging from the water, she hurriedly said: "Every day, boobies are robbing fish, and more and more seabirds are joining in the gluttonous feast..."
Wilhelmina has never been so happy in thirty years.
The seabirds rushing into the sea and the water splashing on her made her happy for a while.
As soon as the camera closed, Zhao Chuanxin took the couple ashore and untied the ropes of several Peruvian soldiers.
Several Peruvian soldiers yelled: "You are finished, just wait..."
Zhao Chuanxin waved his hands and said loudly: "I commandeered your ship to give you face."
Wilhelmina: "..."
…
Domestically, heavy rains have caused severe flooding in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Some villages have been completely submerged, countless livestock have drowned, and dozens of people have been killed or injured.
"Lugang Town Journal" said - Lubin Prefecture Governor Zhao Chuanxin's new documentary "Our Home" will be released soon, and the profits from the screening will still be donated to help disaster areas in various places tide over the difficulties...
Although it is a documentary, as long as it is named Zhao Chuanxin, it can still attract fans who rush to the theater to try it out.
What is different from the past is that this time it will not only be released in China, but also in some nickelodeon theaters in New York, the United States, various theaters in the state of Constantine, Mexico, and a new theater in The Hague.
Yao Jia bought shares in the newly established Paramount and Universal Pictures, competing with Edison's monopoly on the film market, so it could be released in New York.
When the movie was released, a few high-altitude shots captured the audience's surprise.
Sure enough, it has to be Zhao Chuanxin!
This kind of condescending perspective is unique at this time.
After all, the helicopter hasn't appeared yet.
The scene changed, and the place that appeared first was the Qinling Mountains in China.
The rising sun passes through the gaps in the forest, casting a layer of golden light on the hair of the golden monkey sitting on the tree.
"This is the Qinling Mountains of China. In the forest at an altitude of 1,500 meters to 3,300 meters, there lives a group of golden elves. "Erya" says - grasshoppers, with raised noses and long tails. They are talking about golden monkeys..."
The narration is the voice of Zhao Chuanxin.
The protagonists are various animals, and the supporting role is Zhao Lingjun.
The rising sun adds warmth to the scene of Zhao Lingjun feeding the golden monkey.
Zhao Lingjun's eyes were clear, and the little golden monkey's eyes were equally clear.
The moment when the fingers of one person and one monkey touch, it brings a different kind of warm feeling to the audience.
The feeling of petting small animals is eternal.
Gradually heading north, animals such as argali and goose-throated antelope appear.
Zhao Chuanxin also specially photographed the sky: "This was originally an endless desert. The land was dry and rainless, and even the marmots were unwilling to go deep into it. But now, it is an oasis with gurgling springs and lush vegetation..."
In the overhead shot, there is a clear boundary between the sky and the desert.
Outside the customs, the two men discovered a black bear in the woods.
Zhao Chuanxin was about to shoot, and Zhao Lingjun asked: "Dad, why did you shoot it?"
Zhao Chuanxin said: "This thing will steal cassocks when it grows up!"
It caused a burst of laughter in the theater.
Then they discovered that Zhao Lingjun was not only close to small and vegetarian animals, but even black bears were allowed to be petted by her.
Zhao Chuanxin took a close-up shot of the Siberian tiger in the old forest outside the customs, allowing many viewers to feel for the first time how huge the Siberian tiger is, bigger than they imagined.
In the newly built cinema in The Hague, Wilhelmina, Jane Simscock, Bellenut and others exclaimed when they saw the princess feeding the Siberian tiger.
Such a small person seems to be able to feed a Siberian tiger at most.
Wilhelmina's face didn't look very good.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanxin would let her daughter get in such close contact with a behemoth.
Her face turned even darker when she saw Zhao Lingjun riding a moa that was taller than a human.
Because Zhao Chuanxin clearly said at the time that Zhao Lingjun would not be exposed to dangerous animals.
The audience marveled: "There is such a big bird in New Zealand?"
As the documentary unfolds, the scenery may be exquisite, majestic, unique, or magnificent.
All kinds of animals appeared one after another, which was dizzying for everyone to see.
The shooting angles are all over the sea, land and air.
On the African grasslands, Zhao Chuanxin followed the cheetah hunting. The camera was set up on a three-generation dragon. The pictures were always parallel, allowing the audience to feast their eyes.
Except for Zhao Chuanxin, no one in this world can do it!
The dubbing is divided into four languages, Chinese, English, Spanish and Dutch.
Different regions use different languages.
All with subtitles.
Lao Zhao's voice is rich and powerful, and he explains in simple terms the role of each animal and plant in nature, what role it plays, etc...
He compared the density of animals and plants in the local area during the star and moon detection with the data recorded in the data.
In this way, the audience will have an intuitive feeling and understand which animals are on the verge of extinction, which animals are only surviving in a handful, and what impact these disappearing animals and plants have on the environment.
The flight into the sky shortly after the beginning of the film is the most powerful proof.
At the back, the queen appears.
The subtitles gave her a seat and introduced - This is the Queen of the Netherlands, Wilhelmina Helena Paulina Maria.
Zhao Chuanxin's voice sounded: "Next, the queen will take everyone into more magical worlds."
Audiences from all over the world exclaimed again.
I'll blanch it and ask the queen to explain it. Zhao Chuanxin can figure it out.
The queen has a strong aura and outstanding appearance, which makes women jealous and men covet her.
Her appearance brings the documentary to its climax.
At the end of the film, Wilhelmina, wearing a long dress and a veil covering her face, stood in the Sahara Desert and said: "It is necessary to protect the earth's environment and ecology. The miracles flying in the sky prove that it does not even require much effort from humans, as long as animals and plants are given certain protection." Space, they can re-cover the earth we have looted..."
This sentence is the key point.
Zhao Chuanxin found the queen to endorse him.
Protecting the environment requires land, right?
If there is land, there must be anti-hunting forces.
If you are armed, you will definitely need territory to settle... It is not only the great powers who know how to push the envelope, Zhao Chuanxin also knows this well.
The movie ends.
domestic.
"The colors are lifelike, the strangeness and ingenuity are unparalleled, and it will keep you entertained after leaving the theater."
"Zhao Chuanxin is a true film wizard. I have also watched documentaries, but this kind of documentary is unique in its beauty and perfection!"
"It's majestic and majestic. All animals and plants are no different than humans. All things have spirituality!"
The Hague.
"Your Majesty, did you really go to Antarctica?"
"Yeah, even in the summer, the temperature is still very low there. The penguins are more likeable than in the movies."
Constantine, Mexico.
"I've been to Peru, and I don't remember it being this beautiful?"
"Nonsense, if you could run so high to see it, the scenery would definitely be different."
USA.
Edison clenched his fists and his eyes were blazing: "That son of a bitch Zhao Chuanxin, he doesn't do so much business, but he wants to fight against me to compete for the film market."
How can he monopolize the film market when he can even make a documentary like this?
Paramount and Universal Pictures had projection equipment and several film reels provided by Lubinfu Pictures.
"Fist of Fury", "Guan Shan Dao", "Sakhalin's Journey" and "Suppression of Bandits" became popular in New York once they were released.
Can't hold it down at all.
I thought that Zhao Chuanxin was too poor in skills and was causing trouble everywhere, so he couldn't care about making movies.
Unexpectedly, there is another "Our Home".
Edison is a professional. He can see that the picture quality is higher and there are no snowflakes visible.
The sound is better and the soundtrack seems to have been added.
Not to mention Zhao Chuanxin’s unique shooting techniques, which others cannot imitate.
Zhao Chuanxin's exclusive shooting equipment, projection equipment and shooting techniques have surpassed the Edison Company by several blocks.
After leaving the cinema, Edison told his men: "Take people to destroy the theaters showing this movie."
If you can't defeat them professionally, destroy them physically.
He has a group of gangsters under him who do these dirty jobs for him.
The subordinates worried: "If Zhao Chuanxin..."
Edison interrupted: "We just bought a movie theater to buy new equipment. What does the movie theater have to do with him?"
The subordinate was relieved: "Oh, it's okay."
Edison's manager, Kennedy, went to the Nickelodeon with a group of thugs.
As soon as they walked through the door, they were stopped by a group of black and white strong men.
Kennedy often led people to smash up nickelodeon theaters, and theater owners would hire bodyguards, so he was ambushed not once or twice.
He sneered and said: "Everyone, we still have manpower outside the theater. You don't want to offend our Edison Film Patent Company!"
A person walked out of the front team.
It was none other than Abraham Cohen, the boss of the most mysterious gang in New York, the Food Truck Gang.
Abraham Cohen reached out and took off his Humboldt hat, and touched his meticulously combed back hair: "Your name is Kennedy, right?"
"You know me? If you know what I say, why don't you get out of here right away?"
Abraham Cohen said nothing and stood quietly.
Kennedy didn't know why.
At this time, the sound of a group fight came from outside.
For a moment, a group of big, muscular men surrounded the entrance of the cinema. Kennedy had a bad feeling.
He looked back, feeling cold in his heart.
These are not our own people.
Abraham Cohen has a high hooked nose, a big mouth, and his eyes are as curved as knives when he smiles.
He put the Humboldt hat back on at this time: "Let me inform you that all theaters in New York that purchase projection equipment from Lubinfu Films will be protected by Xinghui Security Company from now on."
Kennedy was furious.
They are used to being domineering in the United States. Ever since the United Film Patent Company was established to monopolize the American film market, no one has dared to talk to him like this.
At this time, a gangster told him: "This man is the boss of the food truck gang, Abraham Cohen. The second-in-command of the food truck gang is the Smith brothers. They have tens of thousands of people, and there is also Situ Meitang from Chinatown to help. Let's leave quickly." , these people usually don’t steal or kidnap, but they kill without blinking an eye…”
Still not convinced, Kennedy lowered the hem of his suit, revealing a Colt spinner.
He stared coldly at Abraham Cohen.
The meaning is obvious: you have more people, but I have a gun.
Abraham Cohen turned around and looked at his subordinates, who all looked at each other and smiled.
Everyone lifted up their clothes one after another.
Kennedy pupil earthquake.
I blanch...
Everyone has a gun!
Someone also pulled out a Winchester M1897 shotgun from behind.
This thing is a piece of cake.
Abraham Cohen stepped forward, helped Kennedy adjust the collar of his shirt, and tucked the turned-out collar back into his suit: "Go back and tell your boss Edison that he is no match for the number of people; for the financial resources, our Xinghui Catering Company may not be able to defeat him." He's got a lot of money, but he's not short of money. Let me give you a preview - New York's Nickelodeon is just the beginning, and then there's Massachusetts."
Kennedy looked livid and said nothing.
I don’t know if I was scared or angry.
"Okay, take your people back."
Kennedy turned and left.
After going out, he found that he had collapsed, and even those who managed to get up were staggering.
These people are very professional. They will hurt your muscles and bones, but they will never kill you.
Over the next few days, gun battles broke out from time to time in multiple theaters.
Both sides suffered casualties on each other.
On the sixth day, Edison robbed the office at No. 52 on Broadway in New York. As soon as Kennedy left, he was shot in the head.
Pedestrians screamed and ran away.
When the police arrived, the murderer had already fled.
On the seventh day, a bomb was dropped on Xinghui Catering Company at 169 Grand Street.
The bomb shattered the glass outside and exploded.
A new wall was built inside Xinghui Catering Company. Although the wall was blown down, it isolated the shock wave. Office staff were injured, but there were no deaths.
Soon, Edison was attacked by a gunman in New Jersey.
People from both sides fought in the streets, killing 7 people.
Edison met his lifelong rival!
Damn it, Fakr!
No matter how he retaliates against the other party, he refuses to give in and retaliates even harder.
Various companies under his umbrella were attacked.
Now he often brings twenty or thirty people to protect him when he goes out.
The people in the food truck gang are not afraid of going to jail.
There is a huge force in New York Prison called the Chamber Pot Cult.
Leader Andrew Miller.
Edison's people rarely live more than a few days when they go to jail.
The food truck helps the disciples go to jail to eat and drink.
Edison was always successful when he acted like a gangster among his colleagues.
Patent Troll Edison only saw what a professional hooligan is when he went gangstering with the food truck gang.
Later, the gangsters were no longer willing to work for him because the price was too high.
In August, Edison began to take legal channels and took Xinghui Catering Company to court.
Xinghui Security Company, together with a group of independent producers and theaters, also took Thomas Edison to court.
The two cases were accepted at the same time, and both parties hired two teams of lawyers respectively.
The founder of Fox Film Company was a Hungarian who was originally a leather merchant and also a clown in the circus, named William Fox.
William Fox mobilized the independent film production team, which was originally opposed to Edison. Now he is even more flag-raising for the food truck gang.
Independent producers, offended by Edison, gravitated toward the food truck gang.
Edison felt a deep malice rushing towards him.
What he didn't know was that the man behind the scenes was on the other side of the ocean, Yao Jia from the Lubin Prefecture's Official and Commodity Bureau.
…
Lubin Mansion.
Yao Jiazheng was on the phone with Freddy Pavitt.
"Mr. Yao, it is expensive to fight a long lawsuit."
"Just fight Edison. Tell Abraham that the compensation for the dead and injured cannot be reduced. Also send people to Southern California. It is said that there is a paradise for movies?"
This is what Zhao Chuanxin told Yao Jia.
“Is Southern California too far?”
"Tell Abraham to go to Chinatown in San Francisco and find Situ Meitang and Yu Wenxuan. I will pay for all the expenses needed to stabilize his position."
Freddy Pavitt experienced what it means to be wealthy.
After Yao Jia hung up the phone, Zhang Shouzeng held a cigarette and said, "Shijie, I know your family has a fortune of tens of millions, but money is hard-earned after all."
Yao Jia shook his head: "He Yan, the current U.S. President Taft is not smooth enough. Externally, he encourages American bankers and entrepreneurs to invest abroad, but internally, he protects the legal rights of labor unions and resents trusts. Edison thought he could With only one hand covering the sky, I have actually won half of this lawsuit.”
These words were actually told to him by Li Guangzong.
Yao Jia knew it in her heart.
…
British Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith paid close attention to Australia and New Zealand.
Several months have passed, and Zhao Chuanxin has yet to make any move.
He breathed a sigh of relief - how could a person like Zhao Chuanxin really settle down and study?
However, not long after, Floss Feng, the British member of the Arms Limitation Committee, told him that Zhao Chuanxin had filmed a documentary.
The documentary was screened in The Hague and caused a sensation.
The main reason is that the Queen and Princess are involved, and secondly this is an unprecedented documentary.
When Flos von told Herbert Henry Asquith the contents of the documentary.
The Prime Minister is a little worried.
But this documentary is not enough to serve as an excuse to designate protected areas.
"Notify me of news."
"OK."
…
Zhao Chuanxin is currently inspecting the western part of the Gibson Desert in Australia.
He built a house here.
At this time, Australian house styles were broadly divided into four categories: early, mid-, late-Victorian, and Edwardian.
Early Victorian style houses built of brick with pointed roofs and sloping roofs made of corrugated steel, porcelain tiles and slate.
Residences in the late Victorian era absorbed more of the Italian architectural style and were more ornate, with bright and unrestrained colors, and most of the exterior walls were tiled and tiled.
Zhao Chuanxin was not unconventional. He built it in the Edwardian architectural style.
Old Edward is still flying in the sky, and the style of his era is still called the Federal style.
This house is an independent building, with wooden panels on the exterior walls and rain shields on the outside. The windows are wooden frame structures. Zhao Chuanxin decorated the top of the windows with wind lanterns as he did in his hometown.
The exterior of the house is painted white.
He was sitting on a chair under the awning, wearing glasses, with a pen and paper on his crossed legs.
At this time, a carriage came outside the courtyard.
A fat middle-aged white man got out of the car. He gave the driver a few instructions and entered the courtyard with his suit on his arm.
"Constantine, I brought you what you wanted."
He swayed from side to side as he walked, as if the fat in his body was about to leak out.
Zhao Chuanxin placed the pen and paper next to the wooden table, opened the upside-down pastel tea cup with entangled branches and floral patterns, and poured him a cup of tea from the matching kettle: "Come on, Craig, try the Keemun black tea."
Qihong is the most fragrant among all the fragrances, and has a high reputation.
When the tea came into his mouth, Craig Marks squinted his eyes and was surprised.
In fact, he coveted everything in Zhao Chuanxin's family.
Craig Markles is Zhao Chuanxuan's local agent.
In fact, it is just running errands.
This fat man is good at dancing and has a wide circle of friends.
Zhao Chuanxin gave him money and asked him to help collect information to prevent him from acting in a hurry.
Craig Markles is smart and capable. No matter how demanding Zhao's salary requirements are, he can basically complete them.
Simply because in this era, important knowledge is still in the hands of a few people.
The fat man can easily enter and leave the homes of local nobles and gentry.
Zhao Chuanxin glanced at it casually. It recorded the rainfall in the Gibson Desert over the years and the amount of local water resources.
This document has turned yellow and has rough edges, but the handwriting is not blurry. After all, the local area is dry and has little rain, so it is not easy to get wet.
Zhao Chuanxin placed the 20 shillings on the table with satisfaction.
This is equivalent to one pound.
Craig Markles sneered: "Can I not give up the money? I want this tea set."
"This tea set cost me more than thirty pounds when I bought it." Zhao Chuanxin smiled half-heartedly: "Good boy, keep the money."
20 shillings is only £1.
"What about that set of amber decanters and glasses you have in the house?"
Zhao Chuanxin was speechless.
He turned around and entered the room, taking out the fused quartz glass decanter set: "Although this set of decanters costs far more than 1 pound, who makes me like adult beauty?"
In fact, he made it out of paint and sand.
Craig Marks was overjoyed and couldn't put it down while holding a set of decanters: "Good stuff, really good stuff..."
Zhao Chuanxin lowered his head and rolled his eyes: I hope you won’t regret seeing the exact same decanter set next time you come.
Craig Marks stood up holding the box: "Then I won't disturb your writing, great writer."
Zhao Chuanxin did not get up to see him off, but just waved his hand casually.
He flipped through it quickly and finished the thick information in five minutes.
Xingyue excerpted the important parts and filled them into the article. Zhao Chuanxin reviewed them and found no errors or omissions.
"Okay, you can start writing."
At this time, the neighbor's child, who was three hundred meters away, ran over.
A cloud of dust rose wherever he ran.
"Mr. Constantine, look what I brought you?"
The boy held a yellow lizard with thorns on its back.
Zhao Chuanxin smiled slightly and took out the chocolate and gave it to him: "Put the lizard there."
The place where Zhao Chuanxin pointed was a patch of green plants in the courtyard, including rabbit orchids, eight gemstones, golden flame sandalwood and bank wood.
There were glistening water drops on the leaves of these plants.
The neighbor's children often brought some small animals in exchange for snacks.
Zhao Chuanxin didn't need a cage or anything, he just needed to put these lizards and insects there, they didn't want to run at all, there was no such a cool and humid place outside, at least they could drink enough water.
This made it convenient for Zhao Chuanxin to shoot at close range...
