Perfect Life - v5 Chapter 137

If any new thing or new technology wants to go from the laboratory to the public and become something that everyone is willing to accept and use, it must have its premise: the new thing itself has been relatively complete, and the new thing has already had representative works or works. Events, new things do bring people a new and better experience.

In the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, before the appearance of “Jurassic Park”, special effects were nothing new, but only when the big dinosaur appeared on the big screen and won the amazing box office all over the world, Special effects movies have only begun to become the mainstream of Hollywood commercial movies.

In the same way, before the advent of “Avatar”, 3D was nothing new, especially for the Hollywood industry, this technology has already begun to appear very early, but it has always been in the process of losing money. Because this technology, even in the eyes of many professionals, has been labeled as “experimental”.

The same is true of this time and space.

In fact, for those senior movie fans who have paid attention to various movie information, the concept of 3D is not new at all. Individual senior movie fans can even name many experimental 3D movies, but it is very important to the whole human society. It is said that those technologies and products that have not yet matured before are only experimental things for a small number of filmmakers and audiences.

Most people don’t know what 3D is and haven’t seen 3D movies.

It is very simple, the technology is not complete, and the work cannot bring people a shocking experience. Of course, this technology will not be possible to produce an iconic representative work.

But now, after “Avatar” has done everything that it should do as a movie itself, with special effects, settings, stories, etc., it also carries the fully mature 3D and The advent of 3D-IMAX technology has brought an extremely shocking movie viewing experience to the current movie audiences at once – and because the director of the movie is Li Qian who has “The Matrix” before, this movie There will never be a shortage of audiences, and there will never be a shortage of people who are willing to try 3D.

So, “Avatar” is on fire.

3D is on fire!

That’s how Qin Wei watched it suddenly burst into flames.

We assume a derivation – if Li Qian has never appeared in this world.

So what will the world be like?

Not to mention the big deduction, just talking about the circle of Chinese film, Qin Wei is the only recognized master figure in domestic film today, he is almost a natural representative of Chinese film, in fact, Li Qian has not started filming yet. In those years, Hollywood films poured into the domestic market one after another. Chinese filmmakers headed by Qin Wei, Du Weiyun, Zhao Meicheng, etc., although they were very uncomfortable with this sudden change, did not feel very comfortable for a while. They understand how to make a commercial movie, but they still do their best to fight it.

If there is no Li Qian in this time and space, it is not difficult for us to imagine that under the severe impact of Hollywood’s advanced film technology, film concepts and film products, the pain period of the entire domestic film may be much longer than the current one, he said. Maybe China’s film market will also fall once, and even half of the box office share of the entire market will not be obtained. Qin Wei and other most outstanding filmmakers in China can only watch the domestic film market degenerate into Hollywood blockbusters. In the battlefield of making money, I can only fight and lose again and again.

But in the end, they will still be the representatives of Chinese cinema.

Qin Wei may gradually realize something in the process of failure after failure, and in the process of a gorgeous domestic blockbuster from success to failure, so as to make stressful changes, and truly become enough to compete with Hollywood blockbusters. The national standard bearer of the domestic film, of course, or maybe, after failing again and again, he will completely quiet down, or simply wash his hands and stop shooting, or turn his head and continue to fiddle with his literary films.

But even then, Qin Wei remains a master artist among Chinese film directors.

But no, there is no such an assumption.

Li Qian is here.

He went from being a behind-the-scenes producer and songwriter in the music scene to suddenly becoming popular due to the sudden confrontation between Liao Liao and Zhou Cong, to becoming a singer at the front desk, to organizing the four beauties to become popular all over Asia, and then To the film and television department of Minghu Culture, which started from TV dramas, until “My Sassy Girl” has successfully established a firm foothold in the Chinese film market.

He walked into the history of Chinese film development step by step.

In terms of fame, influence and appeal, even Li Qian, who is only a director, is no longer comparable to Qin Wei. In terms of qualifications, after “Red Sorghum” won the Grand Slam of the Berlin Film Festival, Li Qian has already at least Qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with Qin Wei, and in terms of box office – needless to say, a “Matrix” has made Li Qian the most successful top director in the world today.

And wealth, or power – obviously, not to mention Qin Wei, even if it is Qin Wei’s boss Hu Fei, who holds Minghu Culture – Columbia, the huge film and television entertainment system, and Li Qian, the largest shareholder of Xunfei Group, also It is no longer a heavyweight.

Therefore, perhaps before and after “The Gate of Life and Death” defeated “Once Upon a Time”, Qin Wei once ignored Li Qian, but now, with the passage of time, Li Qian has succeeded again and again, and he has been successful again and again. The failure of Qin Wei has already destroyed the inexplicable pride in Qin Wei’s heart.

He had already begun to face Li Qian squarely.

In fact, many directors of Minghu Culture trained by Li Qian, such as Jin Han, Zhao He, Feng Bicheng, Lu Lingxi, Han Shunzhang, etc., have achieved great success successively, so that in the current Chinese film circle, they are qualified to be called great directors. Among the directors, the Minghu Culture family accounted for more than half of them. Qin Wei’s attitude towards Li Qian may not be regarded as a “face-up”.

It has more or less the meaning of “looking up”.

Therefore, he has long been like the vast majority of filmmakers in China. Whenever Li Qian and the directors of Minghu Culture have a new movie on the market, he always has to watch and analyze it seriously.

Even, because of the previous fiasco, he may be a lot more serious than other filmmakers.

Therefore, even when the pre-release promotion of “Avatar” had not yet started, even when Li Qian just announced that he would invest 500 million yuan to build his own new movie with new technology, he had something to say about “Avatar”. Pay attention and pay attention to it. After the movie’s go, ah, you go to the premiere, he, a person who is not very good at using a computer, even lays down in front of the computer very seriously, and read the translated movie reviews of American movie audiences on the Internet ——Then, “Avatar” broke out as expected.

On Tuesday, he took no one with him, just went to the cinema in person to watch a movie.

The relationship between the working day and the morning, even if it is popular such as “Avatar”, it is completely impossible to get a full house, but Qin Wei’s most wanted to watch 3D and 3D-IMAX, there are no tickets.

After the global box office explosion in the first week, the word of mouth of 3D became popular all of a sudden, so its power began to show initially-although the box office of 3D is twice that of ordinary tickets, and 3D-IMAX is even more expensive, but It is still in short supply, and every morning, as soon as the movie theaters come out, they will soon be sold out through the Internet and display tickets.

So, Qin Wei thought, let’s take a look at the normal version first.

If “Avatar” is really a good movie, then it should be especially good in the ordinary version first.

Then, two hours and forty minutes later, when Qin Wei finished watching the movie and walked out of the auditorium following the crowd, his expression was inexplicably complicated and shocking.

Standing in front of the cinema, he couldn’t help but took out his mobile phone and made a call.

After more than ten minutes, the other party finally called back and told him that the ticket was obtained for him, Minghu No. 2 Cinema, 3D-IMAX version.

So Qin Wei drove there.

It was another two hours and forty minutes. When Qin Wei walked out of the cinema, his mood was strangely quiet.

In the middle of the night that night, he called Hu Fei and said, “I wrote something, can you help me find a magazine or something and publish it?”

Hu Fei had just finished drinking at the time, but he was fine, not drunk, but after hearing the words, he was still stunned for a moment, and then asked, “What did you write?”

Qin Wei said in a calm tone, “I don’t know if a film review can be considered a film review.”

Hu Fei seemed to have an epiphany. After a while, he asked, “About “Avatar”?”

Qin Wei said, “Yes.”

…………

An hour later, more than one o’clock at night.

Hu Fei’s assistant, who was called out of the bed by the boss, finally finished typing the manuscript, handed it over to Qin Wei to check it, corrected a few typos, and then he was responsible for copying the manuscript to the one he had just registered for Qin Wei. in the blog account.

Before making that click, he looked back at Hu Fei.

Hu Fei turned his head to look at Qin Wei. At this time, he was already drunk, his eyes were full of solemnity, and there was still a little hope, and asked, “Have you thought about it?”

Qin Wei’s expression was very calm, “Think about it! Send it!”

Hearing this, Hu Fei turned his head and nodded to his assistant.

“Then let it go!”

…………

That night, a newly registered account named “Director Qin Wei” posted his first blog post after registration, titled “I Look”.

At first, in the middle of the night, no one noticed this blog post.

But it is related to “Avatar” after all, and the name of “Avatar” is directly put on the title. Whether you have watched the movie or haven’t watched the movie recently, as long as you are interested in this movie, Faced with such a title, subconsciously, you will want to click on it.

Then, not many people saw it, but after reading the full text, some people inadvertently discovered the owner of this blog post, whose name was actually “Director Qin Wei” – a big shock!

Then, he couldn’t wait to run to the group where he was chatting and told about this discovery.

As a result, the news began to spread, and the number of clicks and readings of “I Look” began to increase.

After dawn, the blog operator finally noticed the existence of this blog post. When he saw the registered name, he was a little confused because Qin Wei had never registered a blog, but “Qin Wei” is a well-known person whose name is It was locked, but “Director Qin Wei” was released from registration.

After a complicated report and contact, after ten o’clock in the morning, the ID of “Director Qin Wei” was marked with a tick – official certification, real person.

Three minutes later, the article was posted on the front page.

For a time, there was a public outcry.

In the article, Qin Wei said—

“After watching this film, I would like to say that the film has been around for a hundred years, but this year, Li Qian reinvented the film. And I’m very happy that Li Qian is a Chinese filmmaker. Believe me, this is very important for China, for Chinese films, is extremely critical.”

“Finally, I want to say, Qian’er, what happened back then, my brother is sorry for you.”

…………

Qin Wei’s unprecedented high praise for “Avatar” and Li Qian, as well as his official apology at the end of the blog post, can be regarded as adding another fire to “Avatar” and 3D.

But in fact, with or without this fire, “Avatar” has already been overwhelming.

In its second week of release, the film earned an astonishing 320 million yuan at the domestic box office and $150 million in North America.

During the week, “Avatar” grossed $530 million worldwide.

It broke out in China, in North America, in Europe, in Japan and South Korea, in Southeast Asia, and in Latin America!

Box office and word of mouth fly together!

In particular, after entering the second week, although the total box office will inevitably decline, the attendance rate, especially the attendance rate on weekdays, is obviously impossible to compare with the three weekends in the first week. The label of “3D movie” has become more and more prominent.

In all parts of the world, as long as there is a place to see 3D, such a situation has formed: the ordinary version of the ticket is better to sell, because it is too popular, and Li Qian’s name is too big, so the rate of placement Very high, you can almost watch it wherever you go, but the 3D and 3D-IMAX versions have been hard to get a ticket for a long time – many people can’t help the temptation of friends after watching the ordinary version , or could not bear the various publicity and word of mouth on the Internet, and ran to see the 3D and 3D-IMAX versions.

And some people just brush 3D over and over again!

As a result, the box office of the 3D and 3D-IMAX parts, the proportion of the overall box office of “Avatar”, began to increase.

When the movie finally rolled off the production line all over the world, and the overall box office was counted, people were surprised to find that even though at the time of the movie’s release, all 3D and 3D-IMAX screens around the world, including all science and technology museums, It is only less than 2,000 yuan, of which China accounts for nearly 800 yuan, and North America only has nearly 500 yuan, but because during the release of the movie, even the attendance rate of the ordinary version has dropped again and again, 3D and 3D -Most of the IMAX shows in most regions are still almost full, so in the end, in the film’s record-breaking global box office of more than 3.3 billion US dollars, the 3D and 3D-IMAX parts actually contributed made a whopping $1.43 billion at the box office!

Therefore, in the reports of various media, even the box office surpassed “Titanic” and became the highest box office in the history of the world film, which is no longer the focus of reporting the amazing box office of “Avatar”.

Everyone said: “The era of 3D is coming!”

…………

The era of 3D has indeed come.

While “Avatar” was still in theaters, Minghu Culture and Columbia had already announced joint production plans with a number of domestic and Hollywood film companies.

The first is The Terminator.

After watching “Avatar”, James Cameron suspended the shooting plan of “Terminator”, and urgently stopped the research and development plan of the technology company under his name, and came to China instead.

Then, because of the pressure he exerted like 20th Century Fox, 20th Century Fox finally agreed to co-produce “Terminator” by Clear Lake Culture, Columbia and 20th Century Fox, and shared the copyright, but 20th Century Fox firmly retained it. After seeing the amazing success of “Avatar”, they both wanted to obtain the technical support of Minghu Culture, so that the film could be produced as soon as possible, and rushed to the 3D craze to eat the first big cake, but And I am deeply afraid of the powerful and monster-like combination of Minghu Culture and Colombia. But in the end, considering that Minghu Culture and Colombia already have a series of 3D works such as “Transformers” and “Kung Fu Panda”, and they are about to be released, they are still reluctant to give up this big piece of cake, and choose to share copyright and introduce Minghu Culture. various technologies and investments.

In July 2007, Minghu Culture and Columbia, together with Huafei Film and Television, announced a joint production plan for another 3D movie. The three parties plan to jointly invest US$120 million to shoot an action movie. The film will be produced by Qi Jie himself and directed by domestic director Qin Wei, and Li Qian has also promised to play the leading role in the film.

The film’s tentative title was announced as “Mrs. and Mrs. Smith”.

In August 2007, Columbia Pictures announced the acquisition of Marvel Group, two well-known comic companies in the United States, and publicly announced that it would inject capital into Marvel. At the latest in 2010, it will officially launch the acquisition of Marvel. A film adaptation of its series of comic book characters.

Also in August 2007, Minghu Culture and Columbia also jointly announced that the 3D version of the animated film “Kung Fu Panda”, supervised and written by Li Qian, was officially set for December 21st. And following “Avatar” after another, is also likely to be the world’s second live-action 3D movie “Transformers”, will be in June 2008.

In addition, the technical cooperation agreements between Minghu Culture and many Hollywood companies are of course carried out in a very low-key manner and will not be announced to the public~www.mtlnovel.com~ The outside world can only speculate at best that Minghu Culture is currently in the hands of This series of world-leading film technologies, centered on 3D shooting and production, is expected to bring a considerable amount of income to Minghu Culture.

However, sensitive people found that in the series of high-profile actions of Minghu Culture and Columbia, Li Qian never showed up.

You know, in August 2007, Li Qian, together with his “Avatar” and 3D technology, was already the hottest and most famous figure in the world today.

So, after a little exploration, the media reporters caught his whereabouts.

He actually appeared in Chongqing Prefecture.

Later, when reporters rushed to interview, they found out that the preparations for his new movie have been basically completed, and the filming will officially start soon.

The name of the movie is “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.

A Chinese martial arts movie.

3D.
