    Where in the world can you take an hour's train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the
Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There's only one place, and that's Hollywood, in
California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets(布景) in the Universal Studios, one of the
oldest and largest movie companies(公司) in the USA.
    A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But
they are only memories. Hollywood isn't quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has
gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old
ones.
    The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet
friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as
important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful
families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all
middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.
    Though it is soap opears that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being
made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important
new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don't need Hollywood any
more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially
Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better
working conditions and lower cost.
    But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.
