The Uprisal of Hollywood

It must be confessed that before the 1910s the United States were not a film-producing leader lagging behind France and Italy that made themselves the strongest European screen film states. Nevertheless, the outburst of the First World War in Europe led to the collapse of the European film business. In its turn, America gained power in the course of this military conflict in Europe having founded Hollywood as the greatest global movie factory.

By the 1920s, America reached its world screen film leadership, producing around 82% of the total output. All popular and acknowledged pieces of that-time period were shot in the US. Hollywood started exporting screen films to all other continents earning billions in this business activity.

The general production of 800 features a year was only at the start having reached the level of many thousands after a century of incredible success.

This advancement was caused by the development of the studio system, professional advertising and formation of the so-called 'start system' that proved to become a 'long dream' of forthcoming generations.

The ongoing technological perfection and commercial reasoning laid the groundwork for subsequent global financial prosperity.

Nowadays, Hollywood is its own special world with its traditions and principles. In fact, a small out-bought piece of land turned itself into the hugest screen film Empire.
