Chikondi chili mlengalenga ndipo chalimbikitsidwa pamalo pompopompo pamene tikukonzekera Tsiku la Valentine. Ponseponse mdziko muno, mamiliyoni ambiri amakhala pansi kudya chakudya chamakandulo, kuthira vinyo, ndikusefukira pakama kuti awonere makanema omwe amawakonda. Ngati mukuwopsyeza okonda kunja uko simukudziwa zomwe muyenera kuwonera, iHorror modzichepetsa akuti ma 1931 Dracula.

Kanemayu ali nawo chirichonse!

Ma bampires oyipa, akazi okongola, amuna olimba mtima ofunitsitsa kuchita chilichonse chotheka kuti apulumutse chikondi cha moyo wawo, ndipo madotolo akufuna kuwononga zoyipa zakale, ndipo zimangochitika, zidatulutsidwa padziko lapansi pa Tsiku la Valentine 1931 kupanga 2020 yake 89th tsiku lobadwa.

Nkhani ya DraculaUlendo wakuwonetsera zasiliva ndiwosangalatsa womwe unayamba mu 1914 pomwe Carl Lammle anasuntha Universal Studios kuchokera ku New York kupita ku California. Ichi chinali chimodzi mwazinthu zoyambirira zomwe Laemmle adafuna kupanga, koma zidatenga zaka 15 komanso zopitilira muyeso kuti zitheke.

Woyang'anira sitimayo poyamba amalingalira kuti ndi epic yocheperako yochokera kwathunthu mu buku la Bram Stoker. Tsoka ilo, msika wamsika utawonongeka ndipo chifukwa cha Kupsinjika Kwakukulu kudayandikira, anali oopa kuyika ndalama zamtunduwu mufilimu yomwe sinapambane. M'malo mwake, adatembenukira kwa Hamilton Deane, wolemba masewero yemwe anali atasinthiratu bukuli pa bwalolo pomwe panali Bela Lugosi.

Ngakhale kugwiritsa ntchito sewero la Deane ngati gwero, komabe, amayenerabe kupeza ufulu wosintha nkhani ya Stoker pazenera lalikulu kuchokera kwa wamasiye wake. Anali atatsimikizira kale kuti ndi mzimayi wochita zinthu mochenjera pomwe amatenga FW Murnau kuti amuthandize Nosferatu pa ntchito ya amuna awo. Adasumira Murnau ndikuwononga zithunzi zake zonse zomwe adaziwonetsa! (Mwamwayi m'modzi kapena awiri adatsalira pambuyo pake.)

Mkazi wamasiye wa Bram Stoker, a Florence Balcombe, anali osamala kwambiri za momwe ntchito za amuna awo zimagwiritsidwira ntchito.

Zikuwoneka kuti a Florence Balcombe anali okonda makamaka magwiridwe antchito a Lugosi, chifukwa chake situdiyo idamugwiritsa ntchito ngati wothandizira, ndikulendewera udindo wa Dracula mufilimu patsogolo pake kuti awone ngati angamutsimikizire kuti muchepetse mtengo wofunsira $ 200,000, ndalama zambiri panthawiyo.

Lugosi pomalizira pake adachita bwino ndipo situdiyo idapatsidwa chilolezo ndi Stoker estate kuti ipite patsogolo pafupifupi $ 60,000.

Komabe, ngakhale adagwira ntchito m'malo mwawo, a Universal sanatsimikizirebe za Lugosi, ndipo adawona ena mwaomwe akuchita izi asanadzipereke pomupatsa ndalama zochepa za $ 500 pa sabata kwa asanu ndi awiri kuwombera sabata. Pofuna kuzindikira izi, David Manners yemwe adasewera Jonathan Harker mufilimuyi adalipira $ 2000 pa sabata pantchito yake.

David Manners adalipira malipiro anayi a Lugosi pafilimuyi.

Ngakhale panali zofooka izi, kanemayo posakhalitsa adayamba kupanga motsogoleredwa ndi Tod Browning yemwe akuwoneka kuti anali pantchitoyo panthawiyo. Kumwa kwake kunali kopitilira muyeso, ndipo nthawi zambiri ankachoka pamalowo akumusiya wolemba kanema, Karl Freund, kuti awongolere zomwe zidachitikazo ndipo amadziwika kuti amang'amba masambawo pomwe sanasangalale ndi zomwe adalemba.

Situdiyoyo, inali ndi zolemba zambiri pakupanga.

M'mbuyomu, zikuwoneka kuti amawopa kuti Dracula angawoneke kuti ndi wachiwerewere ngati awonetsedwa akumenya munthu wina ndiye adatumiza uthenga kwa director ndi olemba kuti "Dracula amangoluma azimayi." Kuphatikiza apo, ziwonetsero zochepa kwambiri zidawonjezeredwa mufilimuyi pokhapokha ngati pangakhale malo pomwe gulu la oimba likadakhala / liyenera kukhala lilipo kale. Iwo amawopa kuti, ndi zithunzi zomveka kukhala zatsopano, omvera atha kusokonezeka ngati pangakhale nyimbo yopanda oimba omwe akuwoneka.

Universal anali ndi nkhawa kuti zochitika ngati izi zitha kupatsa omvera lingaliro loti Dracula anali gay.

Kuphatikiza apo, ndipo izi zinali zosangalatsa kwambiri, zipsera zoluma pakhosi, ngakhale zimakambidwa mufilimuyi, sizimawonetsedwa kwenikweni! Ndizotheka kuti amaganiza kuti izi zitha kukhala zosalimbikitsa omvera, koma mudzazindikiranso kuti a Dracula a Lugosi sanakhalepo ndi zibambo.

Pomaliza, kanemayo atamalizidwa ndikusindikizidwa kwa oyang'anira situdiyo kuti akawonerere, Laemmle adalembanso kuti kanemayo anali wowopsa kwambiri ndipo adalamula kuti abwererenso. Tsoka ilo, kudula komwe kunapangitsa kuti chomaliza chikhale ndi zolakwika mosalekeza.

Komabe, kanemayo adamalizidwa ndipo situdiyo idayenera kupeza njira yogulitsira kwa anthu ambiri. Adachita nawo kanema masiku awiri tsiku lomasulira lisanachitike ndipo adayitanitsa otsutsa, ambiri mwa iwo omwe adanenanso kuti omvera akukomoka pazowopsa zomwe adaziwonera m'bwaloli.

Zonsezi zidapangidwa mwaluso ndi studio, zachidziwikire, ndipo si yekhayo Universal adakweza malaya ake.

Dracula idayenera kuwonetsedwa patsiku la Valentine mu 1931, ndipo pomwe zikwangwani zina zimafotokoza zamanyazi, ena amatcha kanemayo, "Nkhani ya PASSION yodabwitsa kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi."

Pakati pazowopsa komanso zachiwerewere komanso mayankho okhudzidwa pafilimuyi, Dracula zinali ngati zikuyenda bwino nthawi yomweyo kuofesi yamabokosi kugulitsa matikiti okwanira 50,000 m'maola ake 48 oyamba ndikutembenuka ndalama zoposa $ 700,000, ndipo kupambana kwake kungatsegule zipata zamadzimadzi zachilengedwe chonse.

Mwanjira yake, Dracula kwenikweni ndi nkhani yachikondi yonena za chikondi chosatha chomwe chimadutsana ndi kutengeka mtima, ndipo ndi filimu yabwino kwambiri kwa okonda zowopsa tsiku la Valentine.

Mosasamala kanthu, zakuti tikulankhulabe za kanema pafupifupi zaka 90 zitatulutsidwa koyamba zikunena kena kake za kanema ndi malo ake pachikhalidwe chathu.

Chifukwa chake ndimati tsiku lokondwerera kubadwa kwa Dracula ndi tsiku lachisangalalo la Valentine kwa nonse okhumudwitsa mafani kunja uko.
