Hollywood, also known as Hollywood, is located in the suburb of Los Angeles, California, on the west coast of the United States, surrounded by mountains and waters, with pleasant scenery. The word "Hollywood" is often used directly to refer to the American film industry. Because many famous American film companies are established here, it is often associated with American movies and movie stars. Hollywood is a world-famous film center, and the Oscar ceremony held here every year is a grand event of world movies.

Geographical environment: Hollywood is located in the suburb of Los Angeles, California on the west coast of the United States. It is a place with pleasant scenery and mountains. It was first discovered by photographers looking for location. At the beginning of the 20th century, it attracted many photographers, and then some small companies and independent filmmakers flocked to escape the control of patent companies, and gradually formed a film center. Around the First World War, some movie master, such as Griffith and Chaplin, won the world reputation for American films, and big Wall Street companies intervened in the film industry. Hollywood film city was formed and rose rapidly, and the film industry just adapted to the needs of the rapid development of American economy during this period. Movies have been further incorporated into the economic mechanism and become a part of making profits. The abundant capital and the increase of film production ensure the dumping of American film market in the world. The small village on the outskirts of Los Angeles eventually turned into a huge movie city, and Hollywood virtually became synonymous with American movies.
