A brief history of EMI film company

Originally founded by his younger brother Charles EMI and his older brother Emile EMI, when he was on the verge of bankruptcy, he got an investment of one million francs from an entrepreneur named Grifolas. Thanks to the investment of Grifolas, EMI Brothers has been supported by banks and large enterprises since then. EMI touring artists have become entrepreneurs. EMI set up a big factory in Shatuo, which specializes in recording and copying wax pipes, and then made some films on the film and performed on the open-air stage. Charles EMI entrusted him to preside over Fan Shang's production; After EMI's career became increasingly prosperous, a larger-scale studio was established than Mei. In the heyday of EMI movies, EMI brothers really earned a lot of money. The income of 1900 is 345,000 francs, 1902 is 9 10/0,000 francs, 1904 is1370,000 francs, and 1906 is 6.5 million francs. The estimate of 4 million francs (including depreciation expenses) has not taken into account the directors' huge dividends and the profits from 1907. The film has brought EMI, especially the Neri consortium, at least ten times the company's capital from 1907. The business that started in the Seine-Marne market has successfully developed to five continents. Paupere, an indefatigable agent, has traveled all over the world since 1902. In London, new york, Berlin, Moscow, Brussels, St. Petersburg, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Milan, Rostov, Kolkata, Warsaw, Singapore and other places. These institutions soon became branches of EMI. 1908, EMI had a property worth 2 million francs in the United States, a printing factory near new york and a studio in new york. In this year, the number of films sold by EMI was more than twice that sold by major American filmmakers to the United States. The rooster logo of EMI movies attracts audiences to cinemas everywhere. Therefore, EMI decided to implement a huge plan, which was initiated by Charles Pathé and made at the suggestion of his friend and close friend of a big bank, Lerie Evre. Prior to this, the expansion of EMI was mainly horizontal, that is, it started from Fan Shang's location and gradually expanded to the whole world. Now Charles EMI thinks the main force is vertical expansion. From then on, he wanted to monopolize everything, from making movies and movie machinery to cinemas and wooden sheds showing his movies. After realizing the material monopoly of movies, Charles EMI further wants to realize the ideological monopoly of movies. The establishment of the Writers and Writers Film Association led by Pierre de Kucelle gave EMI the exclusive right to shoot most French dramas.
