The most attractive thing about the Final Fantasy 7 movie version is naturally the ultra-high-speed fighting scenes.
As for the storyline itself, even with half an hour of additional introduction time, it still seems a bit obscure.
But this is not a big problem, because now some people have begun to spontaneously help explain the whole story to those who do not understand the plot.
They can introduce the story to people who have never played Final Fantasy 7 in a very emotional way.
After these people heard the whole story, they also began to have a very strong interest in this game.
Sales of the console version of Final Fantasy 7, which had been gradually dormant in a short period of time, have begun to rise again.
But soon someone told those who bought it that a high-definition version of Final Fantasy 7 would be released for the handheld version in the future.
But now you only need to buy a copy of the cassette version of the movie Final Fantasy 7 to enjoy a certain discount, which is a very cost-effective deal.
Immediately afterwards, there is a rapid fermentation of heat.
Before the Final Fantasy 7 movie version, it was not that there were no excellent animated movies, nor was there no movies with excellent special effects.
But it’s true that no one has ever thought of making a movie of this style.
This cannot be considered an animated film for children, nor can it be considered a live-action film.
Some people call it an adult animated movie, while others call it a CG movie.
No matter what, because of the excellent graphics and effects of the Final Fantasy 7 movie, it quickly occupied the homepages of many social networks.
There is also more and more discussion about Final Fantasy 7.
And this is the heat generated from the perspective of ordinary viewers.
This caused a small shock in the film-related industries.
The production of Final Fantasy 7 is not that difficult, but it is somewhat of a technological breakthrough. After all, no one had ever thought of making a movie like this before.
Or maybe because Zhu Youxing is not originally from the film industry, he is able to break away from the various thinking limitations of the film itself and create his own unique film style in an unconstrained manner?
At this moment, many people in the industry have begun to learn how to make this movie, and many people in related industries have also begun to inquire from various channels who is the team that produced the special effects of this movie.
Immediately afterwards, it was time for Facebook to announce the results.
Because Facebook is already a listed company, they must be responsible to their shareholders and shareholders, and they must publish various financial report data.
In the past, the video service section could only roughly break even. Bob himself was not very interested in this section. He only did so because Zhu Youxing, the major shareholder, had been requesting the launch of this section.
Later, when he saw that the department's income had been mediocre, he didn't want to pay attention to it anymore.
But when the Final Fantasy 7 movie version was launched on the video service section, this data began to change very obviously.
The first and most obvious change is that the number of user subscriptions has rapidly increased from only a few hundred thousand to one million.
This is the number of users that surged in one week.
More than half of them chose the annual subscription without hesitation, and the other half subscribed for one month, three months, or half a year.
In just one week, the revenue from the Kung Fu video service exceeded US$50 million.
This is a surprise for a department with little profit.
They were all stunned by this surprise.
Why did it become so popular all of a sudden? We obviously just released a movie.
Moreover, this movie cannot even be released in traditional theaters. It should be logical that its influence is not high, but it has caused a very strong social response. This is really hard to understand.
Facebook's stock price suddenly rose by several percentage points because of the unexpected results of its video service.
Zhuyouxing is not short of the subscription money. Anyway, as Facebook's stock price rises, your money will naturally increase in value, so when Final Fantasy 7 is released on the Facebook video platform, Zhuyouxing does not charge a penny.
His bulk is on the physical side.
In contrast, sales of the physical version of the Final Fantasy 7 movie version have also surged rapidly.
Because the cassette version has additional preferential conditions, even if it is a bit more expensive, some people are willing to pay for it.
Within a week of its release, the cassette version sold 600,000 units, and the disc version sold 200,000 units.
And this data continues to increase over time. It is obvious that the sales of the Final Fantasy 7 movie version will never stop here.
And the movie theaters barely benefited from these revenues.
Many netizens on the Internet have also begun to raise questions.
"Such an excellent action movie should be released in cinemas, but why didn't I see the release information at my home cinema? Is it because the cinemas don't even know about this movie?"
"My friend, it's obvious that you don't know the inside story. The movie version of Final Fantasy 7 was originally expected to be released in theaters, but it was blocked by some bad guys."
"Obstruction? Why obstruct such a good movie?"
Most people are just ordinary viewers. They usually don't care too much about this so-called cultural struggle. They just want to find a happy way to entertain themselves.
This time they were filled with a sense of amazement after seeing the movie version of Final Fantasy 7.
Then when they learned that this kind of movie could not be shown in theaters, because some people were criticizing that this kind of movie had no qualifications to be screened in theaters, they felt very ridiculous.
Shouldn't it be up to the audience to decide whether to log into theaters?
If this movie is a piece of trash, then if you go to theaters 100% of the time, you will only defraud a wave of money at most, but no one will be defrauded a second time.
It makes more sense for movies like Final Fantasy 7 to be released in theaters.
At least the graphics look so cool, and although the plot is a bit obscure, it's also very cool.
Suddenly, a post like this appeared on the Facebook network: "Latest news, latest news, the Final Fantasy 7 movie has not completely refused to be shown in cinemas. It is being shown in some cinemas in Japan!"
"What? Why is it being released in Japan?"
"Because the film union in the United States can only affect the mainland of the United States, it will definitely be no problem if it wants to be released in Japan."
"Damn American labor unions, they know how to deal with competitors in such a dirty way. Speaking of which, how much is a plane ticket to Japan? I kind of want to see it."
"Don't think about it. In recent days, air tickets from major cities in the United States to Japan have been hard to find. Obviously many people want to go to Japan to watch the cinema version of Final Fantasy 7."
Facts have proved that there are still quite a few people who are really willing to pay.
In particular, Americans generally have relatively high spending power. Players who are die-hard fans of Final Fantasy did not hesitate to book the nearest flight ticket and go directly to Japan when they learned that there was a theater in Japan showing the Final Fantasy 7 movie.
, they don’t seem to want to wait for a moment.
And this is not done by two people. Of course, it is not exaggerated to the extent that all flight tickets are sold out. It’s just that in addition to the release of Final Fantasy 7, another thing happened recently, the United States.
The civil aviation union went on a general strike, causing many planes to be grounded, but this has nothing to do with Final Fantasy and the movie.
