Davies became a studio engineer at Island Records studios in the early 1970s, and his first session was the recording process for Brian Eno's album," Taking Tiger Mountain( By Strategy)". Davies and Eno worked together on several further projects and made innovations in studio recording techniques, especially regarding tape loops and drum machines. He went on to produce many artists of the 1970s and 1980s, but largely retired from production work in the 1990s, although he continued to work with Bryan Ferry," e.g." on" Dylanesque"( 2007)," Olympia"( co-producer, 2010) and" Avonmore"( 2014). <SEP> Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy  is a Chinese film from 1970, during the height of the Cultural Revolution. The film was directed by Xie Tieli and was based on a contemporary Beijing opera, one of the eight model plays allowed during the Cultural Revolution. The story is based on the novel "Lin hai xue yuan" (林海雪原), and tells the story of an incident in 1946, during the Chinese Civil War. "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has been identified as one of the most watched films of all time. Official Chinese government statistics claimed a total audience of 7.3 billion through the end of 1974, meaning every citizen of China had seen the film at least seven times. The large audience can be attributed to the fact that few films were produced during the Cultural Revolution, and almost all earlier films were banned; nevertheless, the average village held ten film showings per year, and failure to attend could have been seen as a sign of political deviation. Hence, Chinese citizens would have been expected to see the film multiple times during the Cultural Revolution era. <SEP> Richard Oswald (5 November 1880 – 11 September 1963) was an Austrian director, producer, and screenwriter. <SEP> The Sea Battle( German: Die Seeschlacht) is a 1917 German silent war film directed by Richard Oswald and starring Emil Jannings, Werner Krauss and Conrad Veidt.
