Chapter 1120: Aftermath
""Full Band Blocking Interference" defeated "Avatar" and topped the box office championship in film history!"
"The box office of "Full-Band Blocking Interference" is 2.68 billion, setting a new box office record in film history!"
"Both domestic and foreign harvests, "Full-Band Blocking Interference" has become the biggest winner of Chinese films!"
The next day, the global media went crazy and reported the news in the headlines of the entertainment section. Cameron also posted a poster on Fly to celebrate "Full Band Blocking Interference" as the global box office champion. On the poster, the battle robot in "Full Band Blocking Interference" is standing in the center, and the blue man in "Avatar" is wearing a certain crown on the head of the combat robot, and the words of blessing are written on the top of the poster: "Congratulations to "Full Band Blocking Interference" on reaching the top of the global box office!"
The box office record of 2.86 billion yuan of "Avatar" is Mount Everest in front of all filmmakers, and it is an unattainable existence. Of course, everyone doesn't think that the record of "Avatar" is impossible to break, but there is only one person who can break this record, and that is Cameron himself.
No one expected that this record would be broken by a Chinese film, and the work of an unknown young director, which is nothing short of a miracle!
Abroad, inside and outside the circle, there are discussions about why "Full-Band Blocking Interference" is so popular and why it won the global box office championship; the Film Bureau even held a seminar and invited many experts and professors to find the key to the success of "Full-Band Blocking Interference".
There are many answers to this question, and various opinions differ, but there are three reasons why the industry and outside the industry are more recognized.
The first reason is Zhang Ran, although the movie "Full-Band Blocking Interference" was not directed by Zhang Ran himself, Zhang Ran was the producer of the movie, and the whole movie was led by him. Zhang Ran dominated the overall style of the film, ensuring that it had grand scenes, realistic special effects, sharp editing, hearty action design, and industrial standards on par with Hollywood blockbusters, and he came up with the idea of adding VR footage to the film. Without Zhang Ran, "Full-Band Blocking Interference" would not have been so successful.
The second reason is that "Future Apocalypse" exploded at the global box office, and Century Summit launched a series of comics, animations, games, and related derivatives about "Future Apocalypse", which turned "Future Apocalypse" into a science fiction culture about people and AI, laying a good foundation for the success of "Full Band Blocking Interference" At the same time, Century Peak spent $250 million in publicity money, which made the promotion of the film to the extreme.
The third reason has to do with the breakthrough made by artificial intelligence this year, when Google's artificial intelligence program Alpha Dog played a man-machine battle with Lee Sedol, a world champion and professional nine-dan Go player, in March this year, and finally won with an overall score of 4-1. Whether Alpha Dog can represent the direction of intelligent computing development is still debatable, but the more consistent view is that it symbolizes that computer technology has entered the new information technology era of artificial intelligence, and its intelligence is approaching humans.
The power of Alpha Dog has caused many people to worry that artificial intelligence is a dangerous technology that could replace humans if it develops to a certain extent, as in the "Future Apocalypse". Many people who are worried about AI will mention Future Apocalypse when expressing AI panic, with Silicon Valley madman Elon Musk tweeting: "We need to be very careful about AI, it can be more dangerous than nuclear weapons, and Future Apocalypse is not alarmist." ”
Hawking also said: "Every aspect of people's lives will change, and the invention of artificial intelligence may be the most influential event in the history of human civilization, or it may be the worst, like the Future Apocalypse." It is not known whether AI will help humanity, ignore it, marginalize it, or destroy humanity entirely. ”
Alpha Dog and the discussion about whether AI will harm humans have caused the topic of artificial intelligence to attract great attention around the world, and the movie "Full Band Blocking Interference", which depicts the war between humans and AI, has naturally attracted the attention of people around the world, and everyone has gone to the cinema to see how humans can defeat AI.
While discussing why "Full Band Blocking Interference" has been successful, many people are also thinking about the impact of "Full Band Blocking Interference" on Chinese films and the global film industry.
The impact of the success of "Full Band Blocking Interference" is first reflected in the actors, and almost all the actors who participated in the film have benefited from it, with several of the leading actors benefiting the most.
More than ten years ago, Cheng Long became popular in the United States because of the "Rush Hour" series of movies, but in 04, "Around the World in Eighty Days" starring Cheng Long collided with Zhang Ran's "Time and Space Warrior", and the box office failed miserably, and he lost all his money. Cheng Long's Hollywood road was also cut off, and he had to move to the mainland. Twelve years later, Zhang Ran's "Full Band Blocking Interference" made Cheng Long Xianyu turn over, and the two VR long shots in the movie became a topic of conversation among fans, and also made him popular in the American market again.
Li Xuejian has gained a certain popularity overseas because of his starring role in Zhang Ran's "One Person's Lights" and "Scorching Sun", and many people are amazed that there are such good actors in China, and the huge success of "Full Band Blocking Interference" has further expanded his influence overseas. During the release of the movie, he received several notebooks from overseas.
Before the movie was released, Chen Zhanzhan had a certain reputation in the drama circle, but in the film industry and entertainment industry, she was completely newcomer, and there was almost no popularity at all. But with the official release of "Full Band Blocking Interference", she became popular all over the world.
"Full Band Blocking Interference" is a man's play, full of killing and death, and Lin Yun is a bright spot in the whole movie, when she is with Zhuang Yu, she is a beautiful and lovely girl, but when she comes to the battlefield, she becomes a fearless warrior again. When Lin Yun said "I do my duty" and detonated the bomb, countless viewers around the world wept.
"Full-Band Blocking Interference" was a box office hit, making Chen Zhanzhan an instant hit and becoming the world's most watched new star. Countless movie scripts, countless program invitations, and high-end endorsement contracts for cars, jewelry, cosmetics and other high-end endorsements poured into Chen Zhanzhan like snowflakes, which made her dizzy. However, in addition to taking two commercials, Chen Zhanzhan did not accept any other film and program invitations, and continued to act in her dramas.
Many people can't understand Chen Zhanzhan's behavior, but Zhang Ran didn't feel the slightest surprise, this girl really loves acting. After filming "Full Band Blocking Interference", Chen Zhanzhan told him that she felt that acting in movies was incoherent and broken, while drama performances were done in one go, and she preferred the drama stage. However, Chen Zhanzhan also said that as long as Zhang Ran needs it, even if it is to play passerby A, she will not hesitate to act.
For the entire Chinese film market, the success of "Full Band Blocking Interference" is also significant. Since last year's Spring Festival, Chinese films have entered an ice age at the box office. Although the box office of the two films "Scorching Sun" and "Country Teacher" has exceeded 3 billion, the entire market is still very cold, and movies with a box office of more than one billion are very rare, and the market seems to have suddenly lost confidence in domestic films.
Originally, everyone hoped that the two blockbusters in this year's Spring Festival could save the situation, but "Mermaid" and "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" had a poor reputation, and the box office opened high and went low, which further hit the audience's confidence in domestic films. After the Spring Festival, domestic films are exhausted and have been crushed by Hollywood blockbusters.
In this situation, the emergence of "Full-Band Blocking Interference" can be said to turn the tide, making everyone believe that excellent domestic films will still be recognized by the market and the audience, as long as you do well enough. The success of "Full Band Blocking Interference" also made domestic film and television companies understand that Chinese audiences are not easy to fool now, and China has entered an era of winning by quality. If you want to make a lot of money through movies, you must have a good script, and you must also have a good director. But now good domestic commercial film directors are scarce resources, and most of them are in the hands of the peak of the century, and other companies have no chance to get involved.
In this case, many domestic film and television companies have set their sights on some Hollywood commercial film directors, such as Chuck Russell, who has directed films such as "Evaporation Secret", "Strange Jack in Disguise", and Sam Raimi, who directed "Spider-Man".
The huge success of "Full Band Blocking Interference" has also made Hollywood giants such as Disney and Paramount think about how to better approach and develop the Chinese market. "Full-Band Blocking Jamming" grossed $1.1 billion in China, which is more than the global box office of most Hollywoods. The Chinese market is too big and growing so fast that in a decade, the Chinese box office alone could exceed $2 billion. As a result, Hollywood producers are starting to think about making more Chinese-themed films, and even supporting local filmmakers and investing in high-quality local content.
The six major Hollywood studios have launched China-related themes, Disney's movie "Mulan" was officially launched, Warner Bros. announced that it will make a movie of Singaporean writer Kevin Kwan's best-selling "Crazy Asian Billionaire", directed by Chinese director Chu Haowei, and Fox announced that it has obtained the copyright of the superhero Shangqi from Marvel, and will select suitable actors from China to play the role of Shangqi......
The final box office of "Full-Band Blocking Interference" should be about $2.9 billion, and the final profit of the movie box office plus DVDs, pay TV, and network TV revenue should be about $1 billion. For a commercial film to be able to reap such amazing revenues is undoubtedly a huge success. However, for the pinnacle of the century, the biggest significance of "Full Band Blocking Interference" is not how much money it makes, but the use of VR technology.
VR movies are 360-degree frames, and the cost of making commercial movies with VR is much larger than that of ordinary movies. It is too risky to use VR to make a full commercial film, and with the limitation of film language, no Hollywood studio is willing to try to make a commercial blockbuster with VR.
Now "Full Band Blocking Interference" provides a new way for everyone, integrating ordinary movies with VR. This not only saves costs, does not need to spend 560 million to shoot a movie, but also allows the audience to feel the charm of VR and experience the super immersion brought by VR.
Zhang Ran and Century Summit believe that with the gradual advent of commercial films integrating VR technology, the VR industry will be further developed, and more directors will join the VR camp to explore the language of VR films. In the near future, the era of VR will come!
For Summit of the Century, the success of "Full-Band Blocking Interference" is to be celebrated, but there is one more noteworthy thing this week, when the first theme park of Summit of the Century will officially open this week. The Summit of the Century will hold a series of opening celebration activities, inviting guests and some fans to participate in this historic moment.
