Chapter 562: Virtual Reality
Originally, there were no cinemas in Mogadishu, but after the war took over, Chen Xin asked Ahdi to build several cinemas, and in addition, there are two cinemas in the new Science City, one of which is in the building of the Science City headquarters, which is just convenient for these scientists to relax.
Tonight, the main venue for the premiere of the movie "Three-Body Problem" was held in the capital of China, and Mogadishu was mainly to join in the fun, so that scientists from all over the world could relax.
However, what is more exciting this time is that "Three-Body Problem" is the first super blockbuster in history to use virtual reality technology to shoot and play.
To this end, Transwarp has built 20 virtual reality cinemas in Beijing, Modu, Yangcheng, Seoul, Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro, London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Dubai and other cities.
Instead of the large screens that are common in regular theaters, these theaters are made up of seats with helmets, which are a bit like the perms of beauty salons, but are undoubtedly much more high-end.
When the audience puts on the helmet, they can move their bodies and adjust their chairs to watch the movie from all angles.
In order to make the audience feel the qiē in the movie, the theater will also use cold wind, heat waves, and various smells to simulate the environment in the film.
Since Cybertron Digital announced a month ago that "The Three-Body Problem" will use this projection technology, it has immediately attracted global attention.
Each of the 20 virtual reality theaters consists of nine theaters with more than 1,000 seats, and Cybertron Digital has invested more than $2 billion in these theaters alone, not to mention the film itself.
Everyone thinks Cybertron Digital is crazy, and even Hollywood, which has always admired technology, is amazed by Cybertron Digital's generosity.
But "The Three-Body Problem" has achieved its propaganda purpose. Almost all fans around the world are enthusiastically discussing this phenomenal super blockbuster, and even some people who don't usually pay attention to movies have noticed the existence of "The Three-Body Problem".
Some people think that this movie will revolutionize film technology like Cameron's "Avatar" back then, and some people think that Cybertron Digital will lose all its money. But in any case, Cybertron Digital has lived up to its hype.
What's more, when the pre-sale began half a month in advance, each 400 yuan virtual reality theater movie tickets were sold out. Even the places in a week later have already been booked.
People who were originally not optimistic about "The Three-Body Problem" were also stunned by the madness of the fans.
According to the daily viewing volume of 12,000 people in each virtual reality cinema, Cybertron Digital has recovered 100 million US dollars at the box office after a week's pre-sale of 20 virtual reality theaters alone.
And as the release of "The Three-Body Problem" approaches, the discussion of this movie is getting hotter and hotter.
Not to mention, since the week before the release, China's CCTV "NEWS Network" has reported on the film at an average of five minutes a day, and the news at other times is often mentioned.
Among young people in China. The discussion about "The Three-Body Problem" has also set off a climax, and even many people who didn't pay attention to it have come to the novel to read, and after reading it, at least 90% of them will become Liu Cixin's hardcore, and 95% of people will have extremely high expectations for the movie.
And cold words such as the usual dark forest and two-way foil have also become popular words among young people.
Until the day the movie was about to be released, even the tickets for the 3D version of the premiere zero point show were all sold out, and on the first day of release. "The Three-Body Problem" has more than 60% of the world's film schedule, and 200,000 screens around the world will show the film. It is estimated that the broadcast city will reach more than two billion people.
But when it comes to virtual reality technology, only a VR theater in Mogadishu Science City is a full virtual reality technology.
Because this theater does not use a viewing helmet, but a viewing capsule newly developed by Qiao Ting's scientific research group.
This kind of viewing capsule can simulate all the environments in the movie, which is many times more high-end than other cities.
Even inside the City of Science there are only a hundred such capsules, and only the top scientists can enjoy the treatment of the capsule at the premiere.
When Chen Xin took Wang Xiaoyue, Ling Wei, Qiao Ting, and Su Xiaoxiao to appear in the VR theater. Many invited scientists have already come to the scene.
Seeing Chen Xin, these scientists from all over the world came up to say hello.
Wang Xiaoyue and the others felt that they had stepped aside and watched Chen Xin chatting with these old men.
It's not that these scientists are flattering Chen Xin, it's really that Chen Xin is too demonic, and he has academic conferences in almost every field. Chen Xin will participate, and in the meeting he will also put forward some guiding opinions, many of the ideas are beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but if you think about it carefully, it gives people a feeling of empowerment.
This made these scientists, who have always had their own pride, gradually convinced of Chen Xin.
Seeing that the invited people were almost here, Chen Xin walked up to the podium and said into the microphone: "Good evening, everyone, welcome to today's premiere of "The Three-Body Problem", I believe everyone has been looking forward to this movie for a long time, and I won't waste everyone's time, okay, then let's start watching the movie." ”
Amid the laughter of the crowd, scientists from all over the world entered the viewing capsule one after another.
Chen Xin and Wang Xiaoyue also couldn't wait to lie down.
As a fan of "The Three-Body Problem", Chen Xin naturally pays a lot of attention to the film shot by his own company, but in order to maintain a sense of expectation, from the completion of the filming of this movie to the present, only a few people, including the director, have experienced it in virtual reality, and Chen Xin himself has not experienced it much.
After entering the virtual cabin, Chen Xin felt that it was dark in front of him, accompanied by majestic music, a beam of light lit up, and three unusually bright stars appeared in the distant starry sky.
"Wow!"
Chen Xin heard the exclamations of Wang Xiaoyue's four daughters, lit up the position next to him, and soon, Wang Xiaoyue and the others also appeared in the void.
"Brother Chen Xin, this ...... Is this real space?"
Wang Xiaoyue looked around curiously, except for the three unusually bright stars, there was a brilliant starry sky all around. And Wang Xiaoyue and the others appeared in the starry sky from a god's perspective.
Wang Xiaoyue, Ling Wei and Qiao Ting had all taken an aerospace plane into space, so they quickly adapted to it, and Su Xiaoxiao, who entered this scene for the first time, was already nervous and didn't know where to put her hand.
Chen Xin smiled slightly, beckoned to them, and said, "Come here, let's watch together." (To be continued......)
