Section 333 New Technology
With the arrival of summer, the movie Three-Body Problem 2 has finally been released.
This movie is probably the biggest investment in Hollywood in years. Even if there is a money-burning giant like Spider-Man 3 in the movie released at the same time, the amount of his investment is still shocking. Since it was not released, there have been rumors that if this movie does not become the top box office list this year, it will be a failure, and even rumors that this movie does not become the number one box office in film history are endless. Under such rumors, people are all staring at the box office figures of this movie, and people all want to know how much money the box office of this movie has.
Sometimes, people will always say that the box office of a movie's premiere can largely reflect whether a movie is popular or not. If you look at it from this point of view, this summer, the most popular movie must be Spider-Man 3.Spider-Man 3, which was released in May, got as much as 150 million box office results in the first week, this number, once again breaking the record, its premiere box office results, made this movie a box office miracle again, and in the eyes of people, it has become a high-profile work.
Compared with Spider-Man 3, the three-body problem 2 that people have always cared about, it is quite surprising. On the first day of its release, the pre-sale of movie tickets for this high-profile movie did not seem to have turned out very well, which also made many media feel quite incredible. The movie has done a lot of work from warm-up to release, but after the movie is actually released, there is no very good evaluation.
Could it be that 3D movies are really not suitable for the current market?
It is always difficult for people to accept new things, and before the release of Three-Body Problem 2, in people's surveys, more than thirty percent of people said. For this movie, I don't want to go to the cinema to watch it. Even, many people think that after this movie is made, it will definitely be inferior to Spider-Man or Pirates of the Caribbean in terms of results, and it will definitely be surpassed by these movies in terms of box office results.
"Spider-Man 3 will give this movie a good look."
"The 3D mode is just grandstanding, and without enough technical support, such a film simply cannot be filmed."
"The global box office is more than 500 million, I have no doubt. However, this movie is a complete failure without 1 billion in revenue, right? ”
People have all kinds of comments about this movie. Some people think that this movie will be good, after all, the amount of money spent is out there. But there are also those who think that the film is just not particularly good, after all, the 3D version is a somewhat too thankless attempt.
People will always lack some confidence in new things. For this movie, many viewers are on the fence.
For this attitude of the audience, many media. At this time, I also have great concern.
The media's attention to this film is partly because of the large investment in the film, and on the other hand, because of the novelty of the film's format. 3d movie in past Hollywood. It's just an unformed thing, and many people have thought about it, but they can't implement it. And Levy's 3D film shooting, which made a big investment this time, is also highly anticipated. Its box office is so sluggish, and it also makes people wonder, can it be. Is this kind of broadcast unacceptable to the audience?
"Levy's films, it seems, are a little sluggish at the box office."
Before Levy's movie was released, there were already a lot of media outlets that made evaluations based on this status quo, but more media, at this time, remained silent.
After all, the media still has questions. Sometimes the box office performance of a movie cannot be completely determined by its premiere box office, but also by referring to his decline. Such examples are not unprecedented, just ten years ago, when the high-profile big ship was released, the box office in the first week was also unsatisfactory 70 million. However, after its release, the good reputation of the movie made the movie top the box office for 15 consecutive weeks. Six months later, his box office went to an eye-popping 600 million.
That movie can also be said to be an epoch-making work, could it be said that the box office figures of this movie will follow the same route as that movie.
In this regard, some media are very optimistic. However, there are also some media outlets who do not agree with such voices. Although people all admit that the investment in this movie is there, and with Levy's reputation, the movie will not be shot too badly, but taking the same route as Titanic still makes many people not believe it.
"It's not 10 years ago now, times have changed. At that time 10 years ago, long-term screenings could have been exchanged for a lot of money, but at this time, which movie would have been running for more than 40 days? The competition in this era is so fierce, Spider-Man 3 and Shrek 3 in May were not watched in June, and in July, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was released, who would go to watch Three-Body Problem 2? ”
There are not a few people who hold such an attitude, and their words are also quite reasonable. Indeed, times have changed, and it is no longer the era of ten years ago, with more blockbusters, more commercial publicity, and too many things crowding the market, and it may already be a dream to keep a long-term screening.
The media has always held a lot of controversy about the outcome of the movie, but they know very well that it will only be the audience, not the media, who has the most important decision on the box office of the movie. How the audience will evaluate this movie is the fundamental reason that will really determine how well the box office will be.
Therefore, when the movie was released, almost all the media also paid attention to the audience's reaction.
Immediately after the release of the movie, they also began to inquire about the audience who watched the movie. It's something they really want to know how interested the audience really is in the 3D version.
The results of the interview can be said to be quite unexpected.
"If you haven't watched it, try to watch the 3D version, this movie doesn't look interesting if you don't watch the 3D version."
Such a situation surprised the media. During the interview, the audience immediately answered the question: the audience's evaluation of this movie is very high, and the height of this evaluation is even jaw-dropping.
If there are any statements that are the most noteworthy. So, this comment should probably be the most important. Among those who have seen this movie, it is generally agreed that the 3D version of this movie is better than the 2D version.
Even, some viewers immediately want to watch the 3D version after just watching the 2D version, and for them, it seems that watching the 2D version is a loss.
"This movie is definitely stronger than the 3D version than the 2D version...... I regret it now for saving four dollars. I shouldn't have doubted Levy's level of shooting. Now I have to watch it a second time to save money, which is a real loss. ”
The audience's words surprised the media. Although this is obviously very good news for a movie: a movie can be shot to make people think that the 3D version is better, and it is undoubtedly more profitable. The 3D version of the movie sells more expensive than the 2D version, and the more expensive movie tickets naturally determine that these movies are more profitable. But how exactly did Levy manage to make audiences so enthusiastic about 3D movies?
When a movie has a 2D version, people naturally don't choose the 3D version - sometimes you don't have to spend so much money. But this movie is different from other movies. After its release, people have been paying more attention to its 3D version.
Even, there are a lot of viewers. After watching the 2D version, you have to watch the 3D version of the movie again. This kind of frenzy is amazing.
The media are making simple comments on this, in their opinion. This is because audiences are more in love with 3D movies and are more enthusiastic about the new situation of this kind of cinema. However, only Levy himself knows. The reason why his own movies are popular is that in the process of making the film, he paid attention to the characteristics of 3D movies.
The effect of 3D movies is not suitable for showing those fast-paced fights and action movies, in contrast, it is more suitable for showing the vast depth of the cosmic environment and the crowds of people in large scenes.
In the movie, Levi specially moved some of the scenes that were originally done in a private environment to the conference venue, Capitol Hill, aircraft carrier deck and other large stages, and he specially did a lot of filming of the cosmic space scenes that were not described in much detail, if not limited to the cost, he even planned to move the second half of the scene to the space city.
His wish was not fulfilled, but the whole movie, a large number of special effects shots, still made the audience addicted, and also decided that the 3D version is better to watch - in 2D, whether it is the charismatic speeches of the first few political leaders or the magnificent picture of the cosmic war in the back, it is just flat. Compared to these, only by actually watching the 3D version can you really feel what it feels like to be in the middle of these events.
Only by walking through the square before the end of the world can we feel the despair of human beings, see the magnificence of the universe with our own eyes, and understand why human beings want to fly into space. Go to the battlefield where the water droplet smashed all the earth ships by himself, and only then can he know how terrifying that water drop is.
The three-dimensional photography method must show the three-dimensional effect. At this point, Levy did a good job. And such a result naturally makes the audience flock to it.
A large number of audiences have flocked to the cinema, watching the special effects scenes of the film, experiencing the novel movie feeling, and after feeling it, they are also addicted, praising this kind of movie more - for a while, the fame of 3D movies has also been completely launched in Hollywood, and people are even more curious about the 3D effect of the movie itself than they are about the movie.
Because of this, he will have an extremely large crowd of moviegoers.
When the first week of the movie passed, almost all of Hollywood was shocked: the three-body problem 2 movie, with a very rare reverse decline in commercial films, entered the second week of screening. (To be continued......)
