Bulgarian Empire

After dealing with Portugal's problem, Ferdinand was quickly attracted by a piece of news, and the sound film was born!

There is no way there are too few entertainment activities in this era. Whether it is aristocratic banquets or stage plays, music, and art, they are not Ferdinand's hobbies.

In addition to the influence of the previous life, the bigger reason is that he does not have time to cultivate his hobbies, which is probably not seen by Ferdinand himself.

The king of this era is not as leisurely as the later generations. In the era of great ideological confusion, once he gave up his rights, Manuel II is an example. I hope that the politicians' morals, wait for exile!

Oh, if you are unlucky and meet a ruthless character, it is not impossible to walk on the guillotine!

There is also the pressure of the world war. Under the pressure of survival, Ferdinand has to work hard to strengthen Bulgaria in order to control his own destiny.

……(The above is pure nonsense)

The birth of sound film marks the coming of the big exhibition era of the film industry. Ferdinand knows that it is time to show the Bulgarian film industry.

After all, cultural output, or movies come quickly! Traditional books, music, and art can only affect a small number of people, but movies can affect the world!

As early as 1896, the film had entered Bulgaria and caused a sensation in Sofia.

Since then, the film has taken root in Bulgaria, and Ferdinand has also established a special film company. Now dozens of films are born from here every year and then promoted to the world.

However, because there are only images and no sound, the plot has to be greatly restricted. Things that are too complicated cannot be expressed through body language! At the same time, it also restricted Ferdinand's entrainment of private goods and restricted Bulgaria's cultural export.

Oh, Ferdinand is not unprepared to climb the technology tree, after all, the technical content of this thing is very low. In the early sound films, a phonograph was added to connect sound and image together.

However, due to the explosion of the first Balkan War, Ferdinand was soon forgotten by Ferdinand, and it was only now that he accidentally remembered it.

The movies of this era have not attracted people's attention, but used him as an entertainment tool, and Ferdinand is not prepared to make too much noise.

"Little Carl, tell the film company to shoot more films about Bulgarian history. The original ones that have been filmed can also be artistically processed, with sound, and travel to Eastern Europe again!" Ferdinand ordered.

"Okay, Your Majesty! I'll do it right away." After that, Karl gave a salute to Ferdinand, turned and left.

Little Carl is actually not young anymore, he is even older than Ferdinand, but in order to distinguish the old Carl, Ferdinand still calls that.

Yes, he is the son of Old Karl, who took over the work after Old Karl retired three years ago. Oh, according to Ferdinand, in the generation of Jr. Carl, this has been the eighth-generation housekeeper for their family.

Under normal circumstances, it will continue forever. When Carl gets older, his son will still come to take over. As for whether the position is a housekeeper, it depends on Ferdinand's arrangements.

This is also a tradition. The education they have received since childhood is to be loyal to the Kohari family and learn how to be a steward and serve the Kohari family.

Whether it is loyalty or ability, Ferdinand can be more at ease than others. Of course, he has no intention of changing this tradition!

Ferdinand also focused on cultural output, first in the Balkans, then in Eastern Europe, then in Europe, and finally in America and Asia. As for other regions, they are naturally ignored.

Africa in this era is a colony, and there is nothing to spread; Oceania has not been opened yet, there are not many people at all, and it is not economically worthwhile; Antarctica has only penguins, and the great mission of teaching penguins to learn culture, Ferdinand decided to stay Give it to others!

Anyway, there are no restrictions on movies in this era. As long as they are not promoting revolutionary ideas, they can be circulated all over the world.

Oh, in general, movie output is still a loss-making business! In many places, film companies have to organize manpower to show movies to locals for free.

The main reason is that the people are too poor. Even if the movie is shown in the open air, the ticket price is very low. They still look down on it. This situation is particularly serious in Eastern Europe.

But it doesn't matter. Originally, Ferdinand was all about exporting cultural values. It didn't matter whether he made money or not.

...

The above sentence, the following will break my leg!

Andreev is a professional film projectionist in Delphi, but he does not work in a movie theater in the city, but travels to the countryside to show movies to people.

At first, the film company went to the countryside to promote the film. More than ten years have passed in a flash, and now people are accustomed to this kind of entertainment, and the rich in the countryside are also used to playing a movie when celebrating.

Playing a movie now is also a symbol of the status of a rich person. After all, in this era, movie screenings are also very troublesome, and all the belongings of Andreev add up to a big wagon!

The price is naturally not cheap. Basically, the expense of a movie is the entire income of ordinary Delphi workers who do not eat or drink for most of the year. For ordinary people, this is still a very luxurious thing.

So Andreev’s business is not good. When there is no business, he will show on the square in the city. Hundreds of people watch each time. The show can earn hundreds of levs per night, which is barely enough. To break even.

He once worried about whether the film company would lay off employees and let him go if the benefits were not good, but after more than ten years, none of this had been born, and Andreev also slowly felt relieved.

After all, compared with before, it is profitable now. In Andreev's opinion, all the big shots in the film company have vision and can spend more than ten years to cultivate the market!

It is said that in the city's movie theaters, there are hundreds of levs of income for every movie shown, and thousands of levs are accounted for every day, which makes Andreev envy.

I often dream that when he shows a movie, he can have such a high income, and then only the commission of each movie will make him a rich man!

But now is different. Andreev, like many Greeks, is worried about the situation in Greece.

Since the failure of the Greek-Turkish War more than ten years ago, the life of the Greek people has been difficult. After the failure of the Second Balkan War, it was really hard to live on!

The government’s tax revenue is getting heavier and heavier. Now Andreev’s chances of going out to show movies are much less. He doesn’t dare to go farther away, because he has to pay several tolls and he can’t make any money. To the money!

These are the sequelae of the tax package system. Affected by this, it can be said that Greece's industry and commerce have been destroyed, and a few factories have to close their doors.

There are more and more unemployed people, prices have started to soar, cities have become depressed, and film companies are about to close down. Andreev is worried that he will also be unemployed.

He really loves this job. Although he has to go out and run a lot, it is a little bitter, but the film company treats him really well. He has never deducted a penny of his salary, every month. Receive full salary.

This was very rare at the time, and Andreev also cherished this job very much, and he planned to keep doing it.

But the current situation makes him very worried. There are fewer and fewer people watching movies. Even if his fares are already very cheap, it is still unbearable for the unemployed!

Loss! Since the end of the Second Balkan War, Andreev knew that the film company was losing money. The sign was that the cinemas in the city were no longer open every day!

Not to mention the fact that he is a homecomer. He and a few colleagues have talked about this issue. Everyone's life is similar, and they have not received any business recently.

A month ago, they didn't have to show movies at the projection table in the open square because the box office was not enough for the electricity bill!

Today is Sunday, and the film company informed him to have a meeting. Andreev got up very early and came to the office outside the office with a very nervous heart, waiting for the door to open.

"Andreev, you also came here so early?"

It was Andreev's friend and colleague Irif Peter who greeted him, and it seemed that he had just arrived.

"Aren't you here? The situation is difficult now. I'm afraid we will be unemployed this time. Can we come soon?" Andreev said with a wry smile

What he said was a bit messy. Unemployment and coming early, there seems to be no inevitable connection!

But Peter Irif nodded, and said with an expression that was uglier than crying: "I hope Syria also needs a film projectionist, otherwise we will say goodbye to this job!"

It can be seen that Irif Peter loves this job very much, even if he knew that he might be unemployed, he was not prepared to make a big noise in the film company.

In this era, film companies are already regarded as conscientious companies, and they are still very good!

Although the wages are not very high, they always get a commission when they go out to show movies. Their usual income is still pretty good, much higher than that of ordinary workers.

Therefore, they still have some wealth, and they can still support themselves in the face of soaring prices.

"If prices remain so high and we lose our jobs, I really don't know where I can go except Syria?" Andreev said with a wry smile

Their net worth is limited. Apart from being able to travel to Syria, they can only immigrate to the Ottoman Empire or the Kingdom of Montenegro, or to work in Bulgaria or Italy.

There are no restrictions on these places, but the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Montenegro were excluded by them first. It is estimated that the local people's life is not much better than them, and it is difficult to find a job!

Italy is also not a good place to go. The unemployment rate of other people is still high. Where can they get these outsiders?

Bulgaria is the easiest to find a job, as long as you are willing to go mining, it is really easy to find a job, most Greeks are not willing to eat that share of hardship!

Of course, the more important thing is that the two countries have just had a war, and most people still have a knot in their hearts. They can't get past the hurdle in their hearts, so when thinking about this issue, they deliberately ignored it!

Oh, the conversation is limited to this. The film company has regulations prohibiting participation in politics. The reason is: art knows no borders. If filmmakers participate in politics, they will become more than pure, and they will be behind the essence of art!

Although they don't know why there is this rule, they still consciously abide by it. Anyway, they are all small people and can't participate in national affairs.

According to Ferdinand's usual style, it is of course impossible to bear the charge of the Greek government for violating the law. Obviously, it will be thrown away.

The most suitable backer is undoubtedly an international capitalist. Now in order to repay international loans, the Greek government has to increase taxes. This is the official explanation!

Even the Greek government made public every fiscal revenue and expenditure just to transfer the hatred. There is no way to debt the main money, and it has to be paid back!

The deeper reason is that it was dumped to the former government. They were all borrowed indiscriminately. Now we have to pay it back. There is really no way for the government to increase taxes!

Public opinion in Greece is now under control. Newspapers that dare to talk nonsense have been shut down. The people involved in the case did not know whether they went to see God or Satan?

Anyway, the opinions of the public opinion in Greece are now very consistent, and it is because of debt repayment that the current dilemma is caused!

With Ferdinand’s selfless efforts, if the Greeks learned their lesson, they would probably get rid of the bad problem of borrowing money randomly. I don’t know if this is good or bad?

At eight o'clock in the morning, the door of the film company opened. Soon Solkov, the manager of Delphi City, walked in. Seeing his glorious face, everyone sighed with relief. It seemed that the result would not be too bad.

Everyone greeted Solkov politely, and hundreds of eyes looked forward to him, hoping that he would bring good news.

Solkov didn't get too long, so he said straightforwardly: "Tell everyone a good news, our jobs are temporarily saved!

The board of directors believes that a qualified company must have a sense of social responsibility. After careful research, it was decided: In view of the current economic situation in Greece, everyone should work together to overcome the difficulties, so Wedel Films decided not to lay off employees! "

As soon as Solkov finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from below. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com is obviously good news for everyone!

As for the sense of responsibility of social enterprises, everyone is not unfamiliar. They all know that it came from the neighbor Bulgaria. Although the relationship between the two countries is not good, it does not prevent them from agreeing with this view!

After a while, Solkov said: “In view of the current bad situation in Greece, the company has specially produced an inspiring public film. Our next job is to show this film to the society for free.

It is the responsibility of each of our filmmakers to let the Greek people see this movie as much as possible, arouse their fighting spirit, and work hard for a better life tomorrow! "

...

They didn't know that an order from Ferdinand saved their work. Weddell Films had been preparing to abandon the Delphi market, but now it's a turning point.

As one of the pawns to promote the export of Bulgarian culture on the Greek peninsula, of course you have to listen to the command of the boss.

As for the theme of this charity movie? Of course it is to tell the Greeks that Syria is not that bad, and there are still large tracts of farmland waiting for them to grow?

The purpose is very simple. It is to reassure the people and let the Greeks take the initiative to go to Syria, so that the current situation on the Greek peninsula will not get out of control!

As for whether anyone will see it, Ferdinand is sure that anyone who is smart can see the theme of the movie, but since he is smart, how can he say it?

After all, for the unemployed, staying in the Greek peninsula is a dead end. Without a source of livelihood, how can they survive?

If you object to their leaving, you must find a way to feed them, otherwise civil unrest will happen sooner or later. For your own benefit, even if you know it, you can’t say it!
