the,entertainment,business.Directors and producers are important,too.Today,Hollywood is full of producers and directors.However,very few are as famous and successful as Hollywoods first motion picture businessmen,Cecil Blount DeMille,Samuel Goldwyn,and Louis Mayer.They are,remembered,for their excellent movies and their continuing,influence,in the motion picture industry.They,led the way,for movie producers and directors of today and those still to come.And we are going to,focus on,Cecil B.DeMille here.,Adapted from VOA Special English,written by Lawan Davis,(2)Cecil B.DeMille was born in Ashfield,Massachusetts in 1881.Both his parents were writers of plays.His father died when he was twelve years old.His mother,kept the family together,by establishing a theater,company,.Cecil joined the company as an actor.He continued working in his mothers theater company as an actor and a manager until 1913.That year,he joined Jesse L.Lasky and Samuel Goldfish to form the Jesse L.Lasky Feature Play Company.Goldfish later changed his name to Samuel Goldwyn.,(3)The three men started making motion pictures immediately.They loved working in the movie business.They were deeply interested in its,creative,and financial possibilities.DeMille,Lasky and Goldfish began working on a movie version of the popular American western play Squaw Man.DeMille,urged,that the movie be made in the real American West.He chose Flagstaff,Arizona.DeMille and the company traveled to Flagstaff by train.When they arrived,DeMille thought the area looked too,modern,.They got back on the train and kept going until they,reached the end of,the line.They were in a quiet little town in southern California.The town was called Hollywood.DeMille decided this was the perfect place to,film,the movie.,(4),Squaw Man,was one of the first,full-length,movies produced in Hollywood.It was released in 1913 and was an immediate success.DeMille is considered the man who helped Hollywood become the center of the motion picture business.He quickly became a creative force in the new movie industry.His success continued with,Brewsters Millions,The Call of the North,and,The Trail of the Lonesome Pine.,(5)Cecil B.DeMille was among the very few,filmmaker,s in Hollywood whose name appeared above the title of his movie.His name was more important to,movie-goers,than the names of the stars in the movie.DeMills movies were known to be big productions.He combined a lot of action,realistic storytelling,and hundreds of actors to make some of Hollywoods best movies.He made many kinds of movies,including,westerns,comedies,romances,and movies dealing with,moral issues,.DeMille,gain,ed a great deal of fame with the kind of movie known as an epic.An epic tells a story of events that are important in history.DeMilles epic movies were,based on,the settings of the American West,Roman history,or stories from the,Bible,.,(6)His first version of the historic film,The Ten Commandments,was a huge success among,silent films,in 1923.One of DeMilles last films was,The Greatest Show on Earth,.It won the Academy Award for best picture in 1952.It was about people who,perform,ed in the circus.Some people say it was a fitting subject because Cecil B.DeMille was often called the greatest showman in Hollywood.In 1956,he released a new version of,The Ten Commandments,to include sound.It is,broadcast,still on American television during the Christian,observance,of Easter.,(7)Cecil B.DeMille produced and directed 70 movies.In 1949 he received a special Academy Award for“37 years of brilliant showmanship”.He died of,heart failure,in 1959.,谁造就了好莱坞？,(1),当你听到“好莱坞”这个名字,你可能会想到兴奋、灯光、摄像机和电影明星。名演员并不是娱乐行业中唯一重要的人，导演和制片人同样重要。今天,好莱坞不乏制片人和导演。然而,很少有人比得上好莱坞的第一批电影人塞西尔,布朗特,戴米尔、塞缪尔,高德温和路易斯,迈耶的名望和成功。人们会铭记他们的出色作品和在电影产业的持续影响。他们为今天以及今后的电影制片人和导演指明了道路。我们在此关注塞西尔,B,戴米尔。,改编自美国之音慢速英语，撰稿人劳安,戴维斯,(2),塞西尔,B,戴米尔,1881,年出生于马萨诸塞州的阿什菲尔德，父母都是剧作家。他的父亲在他,12,岁时去世了，母亲开办了一家戏剧公司来维持家庭。塞西尔成了该公司的演员，后来一直在公司身兼演员和经理，直到,1913,年。同年，他和杰西,L,拉斯基、塞缪尔,格德菲什合伙成立了杰西,L,拉斯基故事片公司。格德菲什后来改名为塞缪尔,高德温。,(3),这三个人立即开始制作电影。他们喜欢从事电影制作工作，对其创造潜能和经济前景有着浓厚的兴趣。戴米尔、拉斯基和格德菲什开始将广受欢迎的美国西部剧,异种婚姻,改编成电影。戴米尔强烈要求在真正的美国西部制作电影，他选择了亚利桑那州的弗拉格斯塔夫。戴米尔一行乘火车前往弗拉格斯塔夫，当他们到达时,戴米尔认为该地区看起来太现代了。他们回到火车上继续前进,直到铁路的尽头。他们身处一个安静的南加州小镇，叫做好莱坞。戴米尔决定这就是拍摄电影的绝佳地方。,(4),异种婚姻,是在好莱坞制作的第一批足本的电影之一。该片在,1913,年上映,一炮走红。戴米尔被认为是帮助好莱坞成为电影产业中心的人，他也很快成为新的电影产业中的一位富有创造力的人物。,酿酒师的百万横财,、,北方的呼唤,和,寂寞的松林径,继续着戴米尔的成功。,(5),在好莱坞，名字出现在其电影片名之上的电影制作人凤毛麟角，戴米尔是其中之一。对于电影观众来说，他的名字比电影中的明星的名字更重要。戴米尔的电影以大制作而闻名。他用大量的动作、现实的叙事和数以百计的演员来制作出一些好莱坞的顶级电影。他制作了很多类型的电影，包括西部片、喜剧片、爱情片,/,传奇片和道德伦理片。戴米尔制作的被称为史诗的电影更令他声名远扬。史诗讲述的是与重要的历史事件有关的故事。戴米尔的史诗电影是建立在美国西部、罗马历史或圣经故事的背景之上的。,(6),他的历史影片,十诫,的第一版在,1923,年的无声电影中是一个巨大的成功。戴米尔最后的电影之一是,大马戏团,，在,1952,年获得奥斯卡奖最佳影片奖。该片讲述的是马戏团的演员，有些人说这是一个恰当的主题，因为戴米尔常被称为好莱坞最伟大的马戏团演员。,1956,年,他发布了一部有声的新版,十诫,，该片在基督教复活节纪念活动期间仍在美国的电视上播放。,（,7,）戴米尔制作和导演了,70,部电影。,1949,年,他获得了一个特殊的奥斯卡奖，表彰其“,37,年的出色演艺技巧”。他在,1959,年因心力衰竭而去世。,Directors,producers,as
