But little known is that its founders are two people who have nothing to do with movies. 100 years ago, on the map of California, Hollywood was blank. At the age of 50, Mr. Wilcock, who became rich by doing real estate business in Kansas, happened to meet Dai Yida, 2 1 year-old, on a train trip to the west. They fell in love at first sight, got married soon, and then moved to Los Angeles. 1887 On a holiday in February, the couple went for an outing in the suburbs. Mrs. willcocks fell in love with this fertile land full of fig trees at first sight and wanted to "camp" here. Mr. willcocks, who dotes on his wife, immediately bought this land with an area of 65,438+020 mu. This fig tree with eyes, Dai Yida seems to be blind, but it is named Hollywood, which means "Holly Woods" in English. It turns out that Mrs Wilcock's hometown is in Illinois, where she once owned a manor surrounded by holly trees. Homesickness arose when she moved to the western United States to build a love nest with her husband. After 16, when it becomes a city, 177 the residents who voted unanimously agreed to use "Holly Woods" as the city name. In the following 10 years, the film industry developed rapidly and vigorously. Hollywood is sunny, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with grasslands and sand dunes, mild and suitable climate and superior geographical conditions, which is an ideal environment for film creation. Therefore, it attracted a large number of filmmakers. Apart from natural conditions, the most important factor for Hollywood's fame is the strong pressure from the film trust company founded by the inventor Edison. Edison was a famous inventor. He also has many inventions and innovations in film equipment, and has corresponding patents. From 1897 to 19 18, Edison provoked a film patent dispute in the United States and went to court with many film manufacturers. At the same time, he grasped the development prospect of the film industry, and used his trump card of film equipment to merge nine major film companies in the eastern United States into his own film patent company, thus controlling the film market. Those unwilling producers are looking for new ways to get rid of Edison's monopoly and start a new stove. At this time, a small studio (Presbyterian Film Company) that Edison had been shooting movies in Hollywood before he established the film patent company provided information about Hollywood. This film studio, originally located in New Jersey in the eastern United States, rented a factory in Hollywood at a low price and quickly produced the first Hollywood film "Her Indian Hero", which expanded the popularity of Hollywood. Those filmmakers who want to find their own way out are attracted by Hollywood's superior natural location and developed traffic conditions and come to Hollywood to start their own businesses. Edison's arch-rival, Carl remus, also built a big house in Hollywood, founded Universal Pictures and became a new movie king. On the contrary, Edison's film patent company, as a Hollywood accelerant, went bankrupt after only 10 years and was declared as an illegal trust by an American court.
