On August 3rd, the second week of the premiere of "Law Abiding Citizen" still set off a kung fu storm around the world, near Zhangjiajie.

Zhao Donghuai and his party put on suitable mountaineering sportswear and looked at the beautiful and spectacular mountain scenery in front of them. Then he smiled and said, "We are not going to take the mature scenic tourist route this time. Let's challenge nature as a team of travel companions."

"Leave the car here and keep the bodyguards outside."

For normal humans, this kind of spontaneous wilderness exploration and survival would have a high probability of being trapped, requiring emergency rescue, or even being trapped to death.

Not to mention the "expanded bonsai, shrunken fairyland" template like Zhangjiajie, Zhao Donghuai relied on his many plug-ins to transform not only his family into superhuman beings, but also a portable cave, which contained countless resources.

In this case, you can go exploring naturally by carrying some outdoor camping tents, waterproof and anti-fog equipment, and mosquito repellent.

The weakest one, An Feng, is childish when it comes to climbing mountains and wading with a 100-pound load on his back.

Under his words, Bingbing hugged An Feng excitedly and said, "I remember when Hong Pingbao was filming (Red Flag Canal) in the 1990s, we went on an outdoor mountain climbing trip in Taihang Mountain for a few days. It was quite eye-opening."

"Xiao Feng, you can keep up with the team this time."

An Feng, "..."

Just as she was about to say something, her cell phone rang. When she smiled and signaled to Bing Bing, she took out her cell phone and found that it was a call from a stranger. After thinking about it, An Feng answered it, but the next moment she was surprised and said, "What?"

?Are you a policeman? One of my cards is suspected of laundering money for others?"

"real or fake?"

Zhao Donghuai almost got angry, but before An Feng could say anything else, he said, "Have you encountered a phone scam? You still need to upgrade your harassment call interception technology to a few more levels as soon as possible."

An Feng suddenly realized and handed his mobile phone to Zhao Donghuai, "It turns out to be a fraud. Let me tell you, how could I launder money for someone in a daze..."

Zhao Donghuai took the phone and said to the other party, "Where are you from? You are very brave when a scam call came to me."

The person on the other side was silent for a few seconds and shouted coldly, "Be serious, please cooperate with our police in handling the case! If you want to prove your innocence, you need to remember the following URL and log in..."

Zhao Donghuai laughed and was too lazy to talk to the other person. He handed the phone to a bodyguard and motioned to the other person to trace the number.

"Let's go and play. Come back in two days and things will be settled."

As Bingbing started following him, she asked curiously, "Telephone fraud? I have never encountered this kind of thing before. How did Xiaofeng's number get leaked?"

Zhao Donghuai shook his head, "It should be a random dialing scam, otherwise the other party should tell her name and other information to further gain her trust, which would involve information leakage or excessive collection of user information by Internet companies.

, resale, etc.”

Electronic fraud has been on the rise since the last century, but until various mobile apps asked you for a large amount of registration information, registered with your real name, and then packaged and resold...

The tricks of liars often stop at, do you remember who I am? It’s that so and so, yes, using words to deceive people.

Celebrities deceived? He remembered that in the original track, around 2008, when Li Qin, a post-90s actress, was filming the new version of Dream of Red Mansions, a scammer pretended to be her classmate and defrauded her of the Dream of Red Mansions remuneration, which meant that she had spent several years filming in vain.

It was hard to say whether Li Qin would still be deceived in this dimension. He didn't even know if the girl was still studying at the opera school affiliated with the opera in her original trajectory.

After all, since the 1980s, many people who want to enter the entertainment industry have always chosen Asia Opera as their first choice for college. If Asia Opera does not accept admission, they will consider Nortel, China Opera, etc.

Like the case An Feng received this time by pretending to be a public official and saying that you were suspected of money laundering and giving you a website to log in to. It has not yet developed to the point where any group of scammers can know your personal information like the back of their hand.

If we really get to that stage, if you have obtained An Feng's personal information and know who she is, you probably won't use low-end fake police tactics to trick you into laundering money.

An Feng said curiously, "This is the first time I have met a liar and talked to me directly. I didn't expect it to be a liar at first..."

Yuanyuan nodded repeatedly, a little curious.

Zhao Donghuai was speechless. This can only be said that Gao Yuanyuan, Bingbing or An Feng were all well protected.

They started out as child stars, and as they became popular, they were protected by the elites of the Pan-Asia Group in all aspects, whether they were scammers in real life or on the Internet... In fact, these celebrities do not have too frequent contact with the Internet.

stranger.

The next moment he smiled and said, "Okay, when we get out of the tour, we can go and see that group of liars. It will open your eyes."

This is not yet an era when computer software can randomly generate numbers for Internet dialing. With mobile phone numbers, even if they are not real-name numbers, a person can buy many numbers at will, and as long as he works hard, he can find them relatively easily.

Besides, the other party has provided the website, so it is not difficult to follow the website to catch people. Arrange a group of hackers or security consultants from anti-internet virus companies like Hengshan Guards, and follow the clues.

Both Pan Asia and Hengshan Guards are professional in this regard.

Night falls.

Next to a stream in a valley in the Zhangjiajie Mountains, Director Zhao set up a big tent, turned on a few lanterns for lighting, and breathed in the fresh air of the natural mountains. Then he looked at An Feng and Xiao Xian who were catching fish and preparing for barbecue. This kind of life experience

The sense of fun is still very beautiful.

Xiaoxian is 40 years old this year, and Anfeng is 20. In the past, Xiaoxian, who had long legs and was too tall to play with male stars, now looks like a younger sister when he and Anfeng stand together.

He has been practicing Xiaoxian for almost 20 years.

Some time later, just as everyone's barbecue stall was set up, it started to rain...it rained quite heavily.

Everyone had no choice but to go into the big tent to take shelter from the rain. Director Zhao smiled and took out some fruits and soy sauce beef from his big backpack.

"I used to eat natural foods, but now I can only eat these."

Azhen glanced around and pulled out a laptop from her backpack, "I feel like this is deep in the mountains and it's raining outside. The atmosphere is perfect for watching a horror movie."

"Would you like to review (Death Comes 3)? I'm still waiting to see the fourth part, but it hasn't been produced yet."

An Feng said hurriedly, "I think the novel (Ghost Blowing the Lamp) is also a bit scary. It would be pretty good if a professional dubbing announcer would talk about an audiobook series."

"We can also consider making it into a series of movies."

It’s August 2007, and it’s an era when all kinds of classic online articles are exploding, not to mention short and long stories such as (Zhu Xian), (Hui Ming), (Internet Death), etc. that have been adapted.

(Ghost Blowing the Lamp) and (Tomb Robbers Notes) are both popular serials, both of which were read from the Songshan Forum and later transferred to the official online website Huashan Reading.

Zhao Donghuai's eyes lit up, "The movie adaptation of Ghost Blowing the Lantern is indeed good. This series still has potential."

The original track was released in December 2015 (Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Secret of the Dragon). You can’t say how well-made and praised this movie is, but it is already unique among a series of director-adapted movies with related themes.

In 2015, the mainland box office of "The Secret of the Dragon" was 1.68 billion yuan, while "Detective Chinatown 1" released in the same year was 820 million yuan, and "Charlotte Trouble" was 1.44 billion yuan.

I only received 1.61 billion yuan next time.

The big animated movies (Journey to the West: The Return of the Monkey King) had 950 million, (Slaying the Wolf 2) 560 million, and Hollywood's (Avengers 2) only took 1.46 billion.

To put it bluntly, it is the director Wu Ershan who directed the series "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" after "Painted Skin". The first part achieved a super strong record. Not only did it explode at the box office, it was second only to "Capture" in the mainland box office in 2015.

(2.43 billion) and (2.42 billion) (Fast and Furious 7), ranking third in the mainland's annual box office list.

He also won the Baihua Best Director trophy with the help of "The Secret of the Dragon".

Gain fame and fortune!

If Wu Ershan continues to direct other series of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", he may not be able to create miracles like "Tang Detective Part 2 and 3".

Based on the reputation and appeal of the first part, coupled with the massive number of fans of the original work, this is really a series that is going to be a big hit.

No one thought that after the explosion, Laowu would start thinking about the Fengshen Trilogy... shooting the trilogy in one go? Zhao Donghuai had never heard much about the trilogy before he traveled through time.

(Detective Chinatown 1) was only 820 million, the second one was 3.1 billion, and the third one was so bad it was 4.5 billion. Based on the original work of Ghost Blowing the Lamp, the first one was really delayed, which is a pity.

The current special effects capabilities are not much different from those of 2015. This is no longer the era in the 1990s when supercomputers could perform more than 100 billion operations per second, and could sweep through more than 200 billion operations per second.

It's the original trajectory, except that the Mainland produced the Sugon 5000A supercomputer in 2008 next year, which is a petaflop computer and has Avatar-like technology!

The IMAX-3D era is about to explode. Avatar, which has grossed more than 2.8 billion US dollars at the global box office, has now finished filming. It will be followed by more than two years of post-production, which was shot with IMAX film cameras.

Equipped with IMAX-3D cinema, such brilliant results have been achieved.

(Avatar) is just like that when viewed on a computer or in 2D. Watching a simple shocking blockbuster in an IMAX-3D theater is an extraordinary experience.

Otherwise, the ticket price of 3D theaters would not be so many times higher than that of 2D theaters.

Zhao Donghuai feels that he can try to use IMAX-3D technology to shoot a movie (Ghost Blowing the Lamp). In that case, it will be released earlier than Avatar, and a number of 3D theaters will be upgraded to cooperate with the transformation and upgrading of Wanjia Cinemas.

It will give people a new audio-visual bombing effect in advance.

In the original trajectory, after Avatar was released, the cinema system also had a large number of movies that were converted from 2D to 3D and used 3D gimmicks to make money, and they still made a lot of money.

Of course, Zhao Donghuai doesn't have to shoot "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". He can choose to remake the Jurassic Park series, just like the original one (Jurassic World), he can choose to shoot (Inception), or he can choose to shoot "Fengshen" or "Journey to the West"

Wait for an interception of a story.

The advantage of "Ghost Blowing Lamp" is that it requires low special effects and can be done quickly. It is also becoming famous and has a large number of book fans.

You said that shooting IMAX-3D movies requires a special IMAX film camera. That camera is only available for rent in North America, not for sale? You can just start a simulated business war.

You must know that the original track of 2003 (The Matrix - The Matrix Revolutions) was the IMAX version of the first blockbuster released on the IMAX screen, which is enough to prove that the technology was available at that time. It is just that The Matrix was shot in 2D and converted to 3D after filming.

In 2004 (The Polar Express) was the world's first major movie to be released in its entirety in IMAX theaters. In 2006 (Superman Returns) was converted from 2D to 3D.

"The camera is in good condition. The key is the theater chain. When we leave Zhangjiajie, we will arrange to suspend the release period of some Wanjia branches and renovate IMAX screens in supermarkets one by one."

The manufacturing cost of IMAX theaters is relatively high. Even by 2022, a theater will cost 1 million to 1.5 million US dollars, which is more than 10 million yuan.

It's only the summer of 2007, and construction costs are only going to be higher.

However, the transformation of Wanjia cinema chain must at least ensure that every prefecture-level city has an IMAX theater, and at least one Wanjia supermarket in every prefecture-level city is IMAX.

This is the trend of the times. If you do it, you can guarantee that it will top the box office rankings in the Mainland. Whether it is IMAX Ghost Blowing the Lantern, Journey to the West, or the God of God sequence, it can be guaranteed to be the best produced by Chinese people.

If you don't follow suit, you may be counterattacked by (Avatar).

It’s better to decide (Ghost Blowing the Lantern). After leaving Zhangjiajie, the preliminary preparations can start. This time Zhao Donghuai plans to be a director seriously. If he doesn’t come to do it seriously, not many people in the circle can adapt to IMAX-3D film at this stage.

What about cameras and great special effects shooting methods?
