According to the record:

1888, Edison began to study photos of activities. When Hysmans invented continuous film, Edison immediately bought continuous film and asked William Kennedy and Lori Dixon to start research. The following year 10, Dixon put forward the research results, and he made it into a moving horse, which was the earliest success in the history of movies. After his success, Dixon continued to immerse himself in further research. 1890, he applied for a film patent and could take 40 photos every second. This is the originator of modern movies.

189 1 year, Thomas Alva Edison applied for the patent right of image projection tube and photographic device, and was the originator of the movie "Westernization Scene". The idea of Thomas Alva Edison's invention of "peep show" was that it was once very popular because it could only be seen by one person at a time and people's curiosity could increase their interest. Soon, Thomas Alva Edison established the earliest studio in the world, which greatly promoted the development of movies.

At first, in Europe, some people were studying photos of these activities. 1895, two people in London, one named Budka and the other named R.W. Paul, improved the original recording studio and performed in public. At the same time, there are two brothers in France, named Louis Lumiere and August Lumiere. They mapped the photos to the screen, thus attracting a large number of curious viewers. The screening of the film kicked off.

The Lumiere brothers then showed a film called "The Factory in Lumiere has Closed" at the Association of the Paris Awards for Industry. In the same year1February, 12 film was officially released in the underground hall of the "Grand Cafe" in Boussineau Street, and tickets were sold.

In September of the same year, tickets were also sold at the World Expo held in Atlanta, USA, when the projection film was shown. It can be seen that as early as the beginning of the film, it has already formed an indissoluble bond with profit.
