French humorous photographer

French film director. The world's first film artist. 186 1 was born in Paris on February 8th, 1938 1 died in the same place. Originally a famous magician and puppet artist, he established a photo studio in Montreuil, which is the earliest photo studio in the world. Here he used special actors, scenery, props, makeup and other means to shoot movies, which opened up a completely different film creation path from Lumiere's natural realism. His first film was The Dreyfus Case (1899). He is best at shooting fairy tales by stopping to shoot again and changing the scenery, such as Cinderella, Bluebeard, magic lamp, Arabian Nights and so on. At the beginning of the 20th century, he first created sci-fi movies, such as A Journey to the Moon, Two Wan Li under the Sea and beyond the arctic. In particular, A Journey to the Moon has a great influence, which not only establishes the style of science fiction films, but also determines the position of film rehearsal in film production. Mei's film is the first step for film to become an art.

May Li Ai was originally an excellent magician. 1896, he got a camera from England and bought nearly 30,000 francs of film from Kodak Company, and began to make movies formally. This year, he made about 80 films, but almost all of them were imitations of existing works at that time. On one occasion, however, when he was showing a film taken from Paris Opera Square, he found that a carriage on the screen suddenly turned into a hearse while driving. After looking for the reason, he found that when shooting this scene, the film had stopped for some time because of mechanical failure. In this short pause, the carriage drove away from the camera and the hearse behind it took its place. The stunt of "Stop Shooting" was born because of such a small accident.
