Nowadays, the theft of cards in Xiangjiang is too rampant, especially with the popularity of home video recorders, the video cassette rental business has become booming, and more than half of the video tapes on the market are stolen goods. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hong Kong films have a tradition of midnight screenings – many films are shown at midnight and then re-cut according to the audience's reaction.

There is a time lag between the midnight test screening and the official release, and since the development of the videotape industry, many people have gone to the midnight scene to shoot secretly, so that many times the movie has not been officially released in the cinema, and the video tape has been stolen on the roadside stall.

For the stubborn psoriasis that has not been banned for decades in the previous life, Xu Cun has no good way to cure the root cause.

Fortunately,

The quality of the theft board is generally very poor, and it is disgusted from the bottom of the heart by those who pursue sensual pleasure!

And Xu Cun's only way to deal with the pirated board is to improve the quality of the positive board to the point where the pirated board is far out of reach, and then snatch back some more viewers from the pirated board. To put it bluntly, Xu Cun is ready to promote the development of 3D films.

3D movies can be shot more realistically and bring more visual impact to the audience, and if you want to enjoy 3D movies, you must have specific screening conditions, which is not a condition that the thief board does not have.

This is also the main reason why Xu Cun wanted to make "Jurassic Park" into a 3D version.

When it comes to 3D technology, many people who don't know it think that it is a product of the 21st century.

Actually,

This is a mistake.

The earliest 3D film can be traced back to the end of the 19th century, when the British film pioneer William Fryce Green invented the world's first device for projecting and viewing 3D films: he projected two images at the same time on the screen, and the audience watched through special glasses to obtain a three-dimensional effect.

But-

William's device was cumbersome and complex, lacking practical popularity, so although he applied for a patent, it was not used in theaters.

The first commercial performance of a 3D film was "The Power of Love" at the Embassy Hotel Theater in Los Angeles on September 27, 1922, which was produced by filmmaker Harry Fairo and videographer Robert Elder, in a red-and-green stereoscopic film format, and with the same audience - Harry Fairo later pitched the film to theater managers in New York, but no one wanted to buy it, and the film was gradually forgotten.

Later, Polaroid founder Edwin Rand invented polarizing film technology, which changes the way light vibrates. Edwin invented polarizing film as a way to prevent car headlights from being too harsh, but the technology would later have a profound impact on the development of 3D films.

Throughout the forties, due to World War II, there was not much interest in the research and production of 3D films, and 3D films hibernated until they re-emerged after the war.

After the Second World War, with the invention and popularization of television, the film industry faced its first serious challenge. In order to survive and develop, the film industry began a series of innovations and explorations, and Hollywood shot a large number of widescreen epics, trying to pull the audience back from the small TV with big scenes, and it was at this time that the first color 3D film "The Devil of Boigana" was born.

Columbia and Warner, which saw commercial promise from the broadcast of "The Devil of Beauvana," released two epoch-making 3D films the following year, "The Man in the Dark" and "The Wax Museum" – both of which were huge box office successes, especially the latter, which for the first time used stereo sound, making the audience not only visually but also aurally immersive.

The success of these two films made Hollywood wake up overnight, it turns out that 3D movies can also make money, and since then 3D commercial films from mainstream production companies have sprung up, Disney, Universal, Twentieth Century Fox have joined the torrent, Disney has also brought this kind of film to Disneyland, showing other applications of 3D technology in the entertainment industry.

But-

With the increase in the production of 3D films, the quality of films has begun to be uneven, and some films have only two weeks of production cycle, and the effect can be imagined. In addition, there were still a lot of deficiencies in the technology at that time, and there were strict requirements for the screen, angle, and projection, so only a year or two later, 3D movies became a thing of the past.

In 1955, with the fall of "Monster Revenge", this short "3D golden period" came to an end.

It wasn't until the 70s that surround screen films, full-dome films, and IMAX giant screen movies were born, and 3D film technology also made great progress - in the past, 3D movies required two projectors to project the picture on both sides of the screen simultaneously, and the slightest bit of it would seriously affect the viewing effect, but with the invention of Alain Silriffin and Chris Gordon's patented "stereo vision" technology, this problem was solved. This technique allows the images seen by the left and right eyes to be printed alternately on a set of ordinary 35mm motion picture film, which is projected by a projector at 48 frames per second (twice the usual speed), and a periodically rotating light shield is added in front of the projection lens, so that the two sets of images appear alternately, but the viewer will not notice due to the visual delay.

The first 3D film to be made using "stereo vision" technology was the blue film "Flight Attendant", which grossed more than $27 million at a cost of $100,000, surprisingly becoming the highest-grossing 3D film in film history (proportionally), and it led to the majority of 3D films in the 70s as adult and horror films, and even a combination of the two.

It's a pity -

The development of technology has not brought about the growth of content - for a long time, the biggest Achilles heel of stereoscopic films is that there is no technology without plot, people watch 3D movies as if they were watching a circus, purely for a fresh energy, which makes 3D movies have always only existed as a film accessory, and have never been the mainstream of the film industry.

After entering the 80s, the subject matter of 3D movies began to become rich, feature films, documentaries, horror films, and action movies have used 3D as a selling point, among which the more representative is the 1981 western film "Gunslinger Hart".

Throughout the early to mid-eighties, a large number of 3D films were born, such as "Friday the 13th", "Devil May Cry", "Jaws 3D", etc.

However, even so, mainstream filmmakers still have an attitude of rejection of this form of film - on the one hand, many 3D films do not have a high artistic standard and reduce their value, and on the other hand, the limitations of 3D technology are still very large, and they do not meet their requirements for high-quality films.

So, after the novelty dissipated, 3D movies were once again put in the cold by the audience, so much so that for a long time people could only see such movies in some amusement places.

As a prescient person, Xu Cun naturally knows that 3D movies are the inevitable trend of movies, and it may also save the Xiangjiang films, which are already in decline.

In addition, as a filmmaker, as a filmmaker for two lifetimes, Xu Cun also has the obligation to promote the development of the film industry.

This has nothing to do with interests, it is purely a personal hobby, just like Cameron, Spielberg, Jeffrey and other Hollywood giants in the previous life, they are all fans of digital 3D movies after they became famous, Spielberg and Cameron have become the pioneers of personal practice - in the previous life, Spielberg made "Jaws 3D" as early as the early eighties, and Cameron made a mini 3D movie sequel for "Terminator 2" as early as 96.

Compared with Cameron, Spielberg, Jeffrey and others, Xu Cun also has three major advantages in promoting the development of 3D films:

The first big advantage, Xu Cun, who has been bombarded by 3D blockbusters for many years in his previous life, knows too much about 3D technology, which is far from comparable to Cameron and other people who are still groping!

The second big advantage, Xu Cun knows that "Jurassic Park" is a good movie that is loved and even touted by audiences all over the world, and it is absolutely invincible to use it to promote 3D movies!

The third major advantage, today's Xu Cun is not bad for money and has great power - now, Xu Cun has a cinema chain in most of the world's major film market countries, and an order can make these cinemas and cinemas all enter the 3D era, which is something that even Cameron and other Hollywood giants at their peak can't do together!

Therefore, Xu Cun dared to say: "To promote the development of 3D films, who else can I be!"
