The origin of movie posters

Early movie posters were purely for the advertising purpose of the first movie, just like the posters in most stores, they were all hand-painted, also called hand-painted movie posters. His original works are very few. The original posters of the early Hollywood famous films Gone with the Wind, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Casablanca are all hand-painted, with exquisite pictures, which still have high artistic value.
With the popularization of movies and the progress of movie poster production technology, movie posters themselves have become an art with appreciation and collection value because of their exquisite pictures, unique expression techniques and rich cultural connotations. However, foreign poster collectors generally only collect original movie posters. Of course, the front page and front edition are more popular because of their small quantity and great appreciation potential.

Functionally, it can be divided into two categories: the first category is for advertising promotion, and its products are often marked with the words "for promotion", which are mainly used as advertisements for film companies, theater posters, audience gifts, etc. The first category of products cannot be used for sale. The second category is available for sale. The movie posters, postcards, key rings, souvenir cards, mugs and T-shirts you saw in Shanghai are all derivatives of movies. Movies and their derivatives have long been a kind of culture, which has influenced generations and entered the lives of thousands of people in Qian Qian.
