These are not only sci-fi movies, but if you look for them, you can easily find these movie kings and movie queens, as well as famous actors and actresses who are making hits in an endless stream!
If a year ago, or even half a year ago, any of these movies could have become a candidate for the box office hit, countless major media and countless fans would undoubtedly have blown it away.
but……
This is not a year ago, nor half a year ago.
It's just now!
Perhaps, everything started to change after "Batman" was released and topped the US box office in September.
era……
It has gradually changed.
………………………………
The Star Wars premiere was simple.
There was no premiere event, nor was there any fan meeting like the one next door to "Venus".
It was just an official announcement that the movie would be released, and then the ticket grab line was set at one o'clock in the morning, and at the end it was said very simply "the first 3D science fiction masterpiece".
This is in sharp contrast to "Venus", which staged all kinds of pomp and circumstance to promote its own movie.
In fact, Thomson was somewhat disdainful of the way "Venus" was promoted.
He thinks this kind of propaganda is outdated!
and……
When he saw that the major American entertainment media were full of news about "Star Wars" and Lu Yuan, Thomson immediately felt that the promotional methods of "Venus Aliens" had little effect.
after all……
Everything is futile in the face of absolute crushing strength!
No matter how flashy you are, no matter how bombarding you are with propaganda, I only need to move my fingers to get it done.
There is no doubt about it.
"Star Wars" is indeed an existence of absolute strength.
Thomson felt a little bloated.
"Mr. Thomson, can you tell me your evaluation of this movie?"
"I don't have any substantive evaluation. If I really want to evaluate it, then this is a milestone in the history of science fiction!"
End of premiere day.
All the reporters rushed towards Thomson.
After facing countless reporters, Thomson said this without any hesitation and showed a very confident smile.
A milestone in the history of science fiction!
All the reporters were very excited when they heard this!
Then……
"Mr. Thomson, how do you think this movie compares to "Titans"? "Titans" was also a milestone..."
""Titans" is a classic, but that doesn't mean it can't be surpassed. I respect it and I also look forward to it!"
"Mr. Thomson, do you mean..."
"Times have changed!"
"Are you saying that it will surpass "Titan"?"
"inevitable!"
"..."
"..."
Under the sun.
Thomson said this with a very firm smile. After saying this, Thomson turned around and got into the car under the protection of his bodyguards.
He didn't know that in a corner, a man in his fifties wearing a hat and sunglasses was staring at his back.
Under the bright sunshine...
The man narrowed his eyes, but his expression had a complex feeling of being provoked.
Finally, he disappeared into the vast sea of people.
………………………………
"Is this 3D technology?"
"I have never seen a movie like this. After watching "Star Wars" and then watching "Venus", I felt like I couldn't concentrate. It was also a grand cosmic background, but I always felt
"Venus" is not as shocking as "Star Wars". At the same time, it feels like laser swords have just come out, there are computers, robots, and even countless strange-looking alien creatures. All of these impressed me.
Very profound..."
"The special effects of "Remote" movies have exploded. The special effects of "Batman" were so explosive. Now the special effects of "Star Wars" are even crazier. Is mature 3D technology so awesome?"
"This is a grand world background, the force, laser swords... I found that Ergouzi's imagination is so rich. In addition, there are also these space suit shapes... Although the story is not awesome
story, but I really want to read it a second time, really..."
"..."
"..."
The "Star Wars" premiere is over.
China was in an uproar.
It’s not that they haven’t seen 3D movies. In fact, 3D movies are already very common in this world.
Almost every movie released in the past few years will be titled 3D.
3D plus special effects, everything is perfect!
However, since the appearance of "Star Wars", everyone suddenly realized that all the movies they had watched before were half-finished.
3D movie? Special effects movie?
It can't be compared to the scenes in "Star Wars".
"Venus Aliens" was so deceiving that it was compared to it.
After watching "Star Wars" and then watching "Venus", everyone had the idea that technological levels are completely different concepts.
How does it feel to watch ordinary movies after your aesthetics have been heightened?
So boring!
"Venus" is not an ordinary movie. In fact, there is a lot of investment in special effects.
but……
Who introduced him to Star Wars?
………………………………
Paimon Company.
Smith frowned.
My mood fell into a trough.
reason?
The reason was simple. He found that Lu Yuan's cancer was really causing great harm to people.
And looking at this momentum, it’s really going to be a trap.
Very embarrassing.
This "Venus Alien" is produced by their company.
The film invested nearly $150 million!
It is a big production among Hollywood commercial films!
He is full of expectations for this movie. In fact, he also hopes to create an advertising concept that surpasses "Titans".
Actually...
He hit!
He has been fighting since October.
The major media have been trying to find ways to compare "Venus" and "Titan" to become competitors on the same level.
This is a kind of heat, a kind of milestone heat.
but……
In October, there was a fight between "Titanic" and "Anthropocene", and "Anthropocene" lost.
His "Venus" and "Titanic" counterparts were completely submerged in the "Titanic" craze.
Can't make any waves.
In late October, the popularity of "Titanic" gradually waned, and when he felt that his opportunity had come...
Lu Yuan's children were born, and there was a wave of crazy popularity, which directly killed "Venus Aliens" again.
End of October.
When "Venus Species" didn't form a benchmark at all, "Star Wars" came out unexpectedly, directly replacing "Venus Species" to compete with "Titans"...
A person’s name, a tree’s shadow!
Lu Yuan roared like this, and Smith was so angry that he was almost dead, but there was nothing he could do.
I can only watch "Star Wars" devouring everything in "Venus", tearing it apart like a monster until not even the dregs are left.
This is a very sad story.
What's even more tragic is that when Smith finished watching "Star Wars", he found that he was completely powerless.
From the perspective of investment in special effects technology, "Star Wars" completely surpasses "Venus".
If you look at it from a professional perspective, all the details in "Star Wars" have reached the pinnacle of current science fiction movies!
Yes!
"Venus" is completely incomparable, not only that, but even all the movies released in November!
How much did it cost to invest in his movie?
He asked his assistant to find a special effects investment form for "Star Wars" and then closed his eyes.
With an investment of about 80 million U.S. dollars, the total cost of actors and special effects is 20 million U.S. dollars, and the special effects...
A total of 60 million were done!
The key point is that if Paimon were to do it with 60 million special effects, it really wouldn't be able to produce an effect like "Star Wars".
after all……
The entire special effects company and the entire team belong to him. Except for the necessary huge expenses, all the intermediate expenses are saved.
Moreover, although the total investment in "Star Wars" was only US$80 million, if it had been filmed by Paramount, it would have cost at least US$250 million!
Why?
Aside from special effects, don't actors need money? With such a big investment, they must hire top-notch Hollywood actors, right? Don't they need publicity? The most important thing for a movie is whether it has good publicity?
Don't all the major media bombard you?
Don’t you need to do public relations?
but……
Lu Yuan's cost control drives people crazy.
publicity?
His Weibo and his media are the world’s largest publicity platforms!
It's hard to imagine that one person could have such terrifying influence...
All the Hollywood companies combined can’t suppress it!
"I saw a whole entertainment empire rise."
"It's too late!"
"It really might be too late!"
"The time when we had the best chance was when Lu Yuan first entered Hollywood. At that time, we couldn't suppress him, and now, we can't suppress him even more!"
After reading the report, Smith touched his head and said this in the silence of his assistant.
As if feeling...
as if……
Sad!
…………………………
"I might be wrong!"
"I regret it!"
"..."
There were waves of doubts in the office of the CEO of Solnit Corporation, one of the giant Hollywood companies.
"Interstellar Voyage" is produced by their company.
After watching "Star Wars", he suddenly realized that releasing "Star Voyage" today was an extremely wrong decision.
"Interstellar" meets "Star Wars", both are from the interstellar universe.
But because of its influence, "Interstellar Voyage" is completely inferior to "Star Wars".
Although today's box office has not come out, boss Fred feels a headache!
He felt like his movie was like a small boat that then hit a giant ship.
Although it hasn't turned over yet, the feeling of crumbling is very obvious.
……………………
After the premiere.
The craze is crazy.
"A milestone in the history of science fiction films!" This sentence bombarded the entire China.
The premiere box office didn’t come out, but it’s already starting to hit!
but……
Maybe it's because "Star Wars" isn't popular enough.
The evening of November 1st.
Lu Yuan rarely appeared in front of the media and was interviewed by major international media at the Yanjing Stadium.
When asked about the box office prediction for the opening day of "Star Wars", Lu Yuan looked at everyone silently...
Then, he smiled very shyly.
"Actually, my requirements for the box office of "Star Wars" are not very high, and I am actually not very optimistic about the box office of "Star Wars" on its opening day..." When saying this, Lu Yuan took a look at everything
Confused reporters.
"..." The reporters were all surprised.
"Star Wars", whether judging from online movie reviews or various data, is about to explode!
You suddenly said that you were not very optimistic about it.
What does this mean?
This is an incomprehensible operation!
"Well, if you really want to say it, it's probably only about 35 million US dollars!" Lu Yuan smiled naively.
"???"
"..."
perhaps?
only?
$35 million at the box office?
When Lu Yuan revealed the box office of 35 million US dollars in front of all reporters...
The reporters suddenly realized that Lu Yuan, who was wearing a silly smile in front of them, was going to cause trouble!
Make things happen by suppressing first and then promoting!
Thirty-five million dollars in box office...
What is the premiere date of "Wars and Roses", the world's number one film?
Thirty-nine million dollars!
What about the opening day box office of Titans?
Thirty-three million dollars!
Lu Yuan is...
Directly declare that it will hit the second place in the world, directly say that "Titan" has been defeated!
It's one thing to pass it on to others.
But Lu Yuan said it himself, but it was another story!
Lu Yuan continued to smile shyly.
Although this kind of pretense is a bit arrogant and a bit blunt.
but……
He suddenly found that this contrasting sense of pretentiousness was really refreshing!
Since he came to this world, he has never pretended to be so pure!
Cool is just one word!
…………………………
Hollywood.
Lorraine stared closely at the young man on the screen!
There is a feeling of being slighted!
"Arrogant, arrogant, too arrogant. This person is really..."
"Arrogant!"
………………………………
November 2nd!
Early morning.
Everyone in the film and television industry is focused on the box office of "Star Wars".
