美国好莱坞素有“世界影城”之称,它的兴衰恰似美国电影业的一面镜子。它经历了:一十年代的兴起,二十年代的上升,三、四十年代的繁荣,五十年代的萧条,七十年代的回升。好莱坞原有八家主要制片公司,在全盛的1939年,八家公司共拍摄了367部影片。五十年代雷电华公司破产后,现在主要有七家公司(环球、米高梅、联合艺术家、二十世纪—福斯、哥伦比亚、派拉蒙和华纳兄弟公司)统治着好莱坞影坛。1978年它们共拍摄了93部故事片,拍片量只有1939年的四分之一。其中根据图书拍摄的有27部,根据剧本拍的有5部,根据短故事拍的有2部,另有一部《超人》是根据连环画拍摄的。
Hollywood known as the “world cinema”, its rise and fall just like the American film industry a mirror. It experienced: the rise of the decade, the rise of the twenties, the prosperity of the 1940s, the depression of the fifties, and the rise of the seventies. Eight major Hollywood production companies, in its heyday 1939, eight companies took a total of 367 films. In the 1950s, after the bankruptcy of RKO, there are now mainly seven companies (Universal, MGM, United Artists, Twentieth Century - Fox, Columbia, Paramount and Warner Bros.) that dominate Hollywood cinema. In 1978, they took a total of 93 feature films and took only one quarter of the film in 1939. Among them, there are 27 shots based on books, 5 shots based on the script, 2 shots based on short stories, and another “Superman” based on a comic strip.
