In the IMAX hall of Huaxing Cinema, hundreds of industry insiders and ordinary viewers put on 3D glasses and followed Jack to appreciate the exotic scenery of Pandora.
In fact, it’s Zhangjiajie~~~
Shortly after the film started, exclamations of exclamation could be heard in the cinema.
We are all not ignorant people. We have watched several 3D movies before and are well prepared.
But Cameron is Cameron, just like the big ship 12 years ago, it once again shocked the attention of all audiences.
It’s not that I’m ignorant, I just can’t help it. My mouth seems to be out of control of my brain, and I make sounds completely subconsciously.
This is not the first time that Tang An has watched it. The effect brought by the imax metal screen is absolutely shocking. Even after many years, he is still a little shocked when he watches it again.
No movie has reached this level after more than 10 years, and 8 years is no joke.
Technology, people, and time are all indispensable. If Cameron was only given two years, he would not be able to achieve this effect.
"Gravity" looks simple, but it took more than three years to make.
The 160-minute movie finally ended with a happy ending. Jack finally led Pandora to defeat the people on Earth, and lived a happy life with the princess without shame.
The clichéd story and the clichéd protagonist’s name all look perfect under the wonderful special effects.
Until the end of the movie, many viewers were still thinking about it.
After a moment of silence, the huge screening room, which can accommodate more than 500 people, burst into the warmest applause.
"Pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah..."
Tang An feels like there will be no other sounds in his ears, as if there are countless hands clapping in your ears.
Tang An's reaction was not that big. He looked around and saw that the CEOs of several major companies beside him, including Han Sanping, had equally excited expressions on their faces, and they clapped their hands vigorously like the ordinary audience.
"It's amazing, the scenery on Pandora is more beautiful than anywhere I've ever been!"
"Cameron's fortress, this 3D effect is more realistic than "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "Ice Age 2"!"
"Damn it, I was too busy watching the special effects, and now I can't even remember what the movie is about."
"Me too, I can only remember a general outline, but I can't remember the specific plot."
"I want to watch one more time, it's so shocking!"
"Two brushes, let's go!"
...
When he is good at it, all the fans’ faces are still full of excitement, and they are chatting with their close friends.
Most people want to watch it a second time!
If you follow us out, you will find that more than half of the audience did not leave immediately, but went to the ticket office to buy tickets for the first show at zero o'clock.
And some movie fans heard the voices of them discussing, and couldn't help but inquire curiously.
Those viewers who had watched the movie in advance were full of superiority and started talking about it to those who had not seen it.
But the essence of the movie lies in the special effects. Their lack of adjectives can no longer describe it. The most commonly used words are awesome, shocking, etc., which makes those movie fans look forward to it even more.
In the screening room, the executives of major companies have not yet left and are also discussing the movie.
With such realistic 3D effects and the audience's reaction, even a fool knows that "Avatar" is bound to be a big hit.
Companies that have movies currently being released or about to be released are a little worried, while others are thinking more about whether they can also make a 3D movie.
Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, and Qin Hong immediately booked a room with Tang An in a nearby hotel after finishing.
Originally they were not in favor of Tang An's proposed conversion to 3D because the investment was too high after all.
But for them to reach this position, their industry sense is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
Now that I have seen the effects of "Avatar", I feel that converting it to 3D is feasible.
"Dr. Tang, are you sure you can achieve the effect of "Avatar"?"
As soon as he sat down and took a drink of water, Yu Dong couldn't wait to ask.
No matter what, the effect is the most important.
After all, my family knows their own business, and they don’t really trust the capabilities of domestic special effects companies.
Distrust comes from lack of understanding. Although it is also the film and television industry, it is not suitable for professionals after all.
"It is impossible for Director Yu, Director Wang, and Director Qin to achieve the results we saw tonight, even if it took Cameron and the "Avatar" team a year."
""Avatar" took eight years from preparation to completion, and we only had one year." Tang An didn't brag to them. Even if he did, they would turn around and become suspicious.
Fortunately, "Edge of Tomorrow" is basically all real-life shooting, and there are far fewer special effects shots than "Avatar", otherwise one year would not be enough.
"If we rate "Avatar" out of ten, it is already very good to be able to achieve seven points in one year. Moreover, it cannot be accomplished by Tiangong Yicai alone. We need to contact several other domestic special effects companies."
"And this is on the premise that we are filming at the same time, we don't have that much time."
Tang An knows a lot about special effects, at least he won't be tricked by special effects companies like many domestic directors because they don't know how to do it.
Those domestic bad movies either don't have enough money, or they gave the other party 100 million and only spent 60 to 70 million or even less.
The 40 million in 2009 will be equivalent to at least 150 million ten years later. This amount of money is enough to rent first-class equipment for real-life 3D shooting.
But now I can’t rent equipment even if I have money.
7 points!
Yu Dong and others weighed it in their minds, and they didn't know what they could achieve with a 7-point effect.
Tang An could see their hesitation, so he didn't force it and smiled immediately.
"Three of you, how about we wait until the box office results from the first two days come out before deciding?"
"Okay, let's see how much this 3D can add to the box office." Wang Changtian nodded.
Yu Dong and Qin Hong also agreed that for such a large project, one should still be cautious.
We each went home, looking forward to the first day’s box office results.
Not only them, executives from other major companies are also waiting for the first-day box office results.
In the early morning of the 17th, the first-day box office of "Avatar" was finally released.
33 million!
Although this is already the second-best first-day result this year after "Transformers", it did not meet everyone's expectations.
Major companies have given up the idea of producing 3D blockbusters. If there is no significant improvement, they will not risk increasing investment.
However, the next day, after the Thursday box office came out, everyone lost their virginity.
45 million, a full 45 million!
It broke the single-day box office record in film history set by "Three Shots".
The thoughts that major companies had just given up suddenly became active again.
The third day on Friday was also 45 million, and 123 million in three days, setting a record for the fastest to break 100 million!
On the fourth day, Saturday, the single-day box office reached a new level, reaching a terrifying 52 million!
You know, the box office of the two movies "Wind and Cloud 2" and "Chilling" is still less than 52 million.
One day's box office is equivalent to the box office of other movies in a month!
This year, the number of movies with a total box office of over 50 million, including imported films, is only about 20!
More than 50 million in a single day, this is a figure that no one could have imagined before the release.
On Sunday, the fifth day, it once again won 50 million box office, with a total box office of 225 million in the first five days of release, with an average of more than 40 million every day.
You know, "Transformers", which was a hit in the summer, only made 160 million in its first five days.
Moreover, the box office on Sunday only dropped by 2 million compared to Saturday, which was almost unaffected, which shows how terrifying it is.
With such a crazy box office, the media went crazy, the audience went crazy, and all the film and television companies went crazy too.
In addition to domestically, it also set off a box office storm in various places around the world.
It topped the box office in dozens of countries during its first weekend.
Xiangjiang, with a box office of 1.1 million yuan in the first four days, won the weekly box office championship without any regrets, and surpassed the second place by three times.
Treasure Island also topped the million-dollar box office list in its first four days.
In South Korea, the number of moviegoers in the first week reached 1.5 million. Although it is not as good as "Transformers" and the disaster blockbuster "2012", this result is also very outstanding among Hollywood blockbusters.
In Australia, the box office in the first week reached 11 million yuan, breaking the 10 million yuan mark. This result is already the fifth highest opening record in Australian film history.
In addition, its performance in other countries is also at the forefront of film history.
France's opening weekend grossed 19 million US dollars, the second highest opening weekend box office record in Fox film history, second only to "Star Wars: Episode III"
UK first week 14.2 million.
Germany's first week sales were $13.2 million.
Spain earned 11 million dollars, creating the best opening performance in local film history for a Fox movie.
Indus earned 1.3 million yuan in its first four weeks, the highest first-week performance for a Hollywood film.
