ABSTRACT

In view of the loss of all contracts and business correspondence on the three exclusive long feature film Asta Nielsen star series, finding the Spezial-Nummer der Asta Nielsen-Zeitung (Special Edition of the Asta Nielsen Magazine) from 11 November 1911 in the library of the German Film Institute (DFF) in Frankfurt am Main represents a small sensation. In this sales brochure, the Projections Actien-Gesellschaft ‘Union’ (PAGU) informed German cinema managers of the company’s conditions for renting the first Asta Nielsen series, i.e. graduated rental prices, planned release dates and suppliers. It reveals the organization and planning of the world’s first exclusive long feature film star series which included advance booking of the whole series and the splitting of the German film market into Monopolfilm distribution circuits. Furthermore, the twelve pages of the Spezial-Nummer der Asta Nielsen-Zeitung contain background information on the film star Asta Nielsen, ads for the first four long features of the series and models for local cinema advertising.

摘要

鉴于三部独家长篇电影《阿斯塔尼尔森》明星系列的所有合同和商业信函丢失，找到了《阿斯塔尼尔森报》的Spezial-Nummer der Asta Nielsen-Zeitung（Asta Nielsen 杂志特别版）于 1911 年 11 月 11 日在美因河畔法兰克福的德国电影学院 (DFF) 图书馆中引起了轰动。在这本销售手册中，Projections Actien-Gesellschaft 'Union' (PAGU) 向德国电影院经理告知了该公司租用第一部 Asta Nielsen 剧集的条件，即分级租赁价格、计划上映日期和供应商。它揭示了世界上第一个独家长片明星系列的组织和规划，包括整个系列的提前预订以及将德国电影市场拆分为 Monopolfilm 发行电路。此外，Spezial-Nummer der Asta Nielsen-Zeitung的十二页包含电影明星阿斯塔尼尔森的背景信息、该系列前四个长片的广告以及当地电影广告的模型。
