Module 6 Films and TV ProgrammesSection Ⅰ Introduction & Reading Pre-reading
Hollywood suggests magic. It's a place where the young starstruck (崇拜明星的) teenagers could, with a bit of luck, realise their dreams. And some big movie stars become millionaires (百万富翁) overnight.
Movies were first made in Hollywood before World War I. Its fame and fortune reached its peak (顶峰) in the 1930s and 1940s, the golden days of the black and white movies. In those days Hollywood was like a magnet (磁石), drawing ambitious young men and women from all over the world.
Hollywood is no longer the heart of the world's motion picture industry. Most movies today are filmed on location.That is to say,in the cities, in the countryside, and even in any part of the world that the script (剧本;笔迹) demands. The Hollywood studios are still standing, but most of them have been rent to television networks. About 80% of all American TV entertainment comes from Hollywood.
And in this module, we'll learn about a famous Hollywood movie. It will show us many aspects of the Hollywood movie that everyoneis crazy about. Let's begin, now!
