Chapter 419: Hot IMAX Theater! (3)
ps:
There is one more chapter in the evening......
On October 28, what worries North American fans finally came to fruition. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test
North America finally got the distribution rights of "Avatar".
Fans are finally relieved!!
The entertainment media are finally happy!!
"The results of almost a month of negotiations have finally come to fruition, which is something to celebrate! Movie fans in North America can finally rest assured. —The Hollywood Reporter.
"It's a rare scene for the six major film companies to work together to distribute and divide the distribution share equally. If a distribution company participates in the distribution, the share will be six times that of the equal distribution, what is the reason for the six major film companies to give up this opportunity to monopolize the dividend? - The Columbia Newspaper.
According to the latest news, the main reason why the six major film companies were able to jointly distribute "Avatar" was that Tianwang Film and Television took the initiative to transfer part of the benefits to North American distributors and theaters. I have to say that this is an extremely wise means, which can effectively reduce the conflict of interests of local film companies and theaters, bundle the interests of all distributors and theaters together, strive for a higher film scheduling rate and greater publicity, and push the box office to the highest as much as possible. It is conceivable that Avatar has set its sights on Titanic. - "Variety".
"Can the box office of "Avatar" cause a crazy box office frenzy around the world like "Titanic" that year? Can you beat "Titanic" as you wish to become the total box office champion in global film history? Let's wait and see. —The Chicago Times.
Director James Cameron said in an interview that although he didn't want "Avatar" to surpass "Titanic" in his heart, from the current situation, the status of "Titanic" is already in jeopardy. At the same time, director Cameron also said that if the film can continue to surpass, the director's road will be more exciting. - USA Today.
"Insiders know that the latest "Iron Man 2", "Thor 2", and IMAX-3D "Avengers" are all scripts by Director Wang. So at this time, many Hollywood directors expressed their interest in cooperating with Director Wang. —The Charlotte Observer.
"Director Wang is a miracle creator of Chinese films and a legendary director." -- Entertainment Weekly.
"Looking at all of Director Wang's works, I found that Director Wang is a successful commercial director, but he has almost no achievements in the field of literary films. I look forward to seeing a literary film produced by Director Wang. —The Washington Post.
The media is constantly reporting. And the theater chain and the film company now have a bit of a headache.
As soon as paralyzing "Avatar" came, other movies didn't dare to release it!!
Tears run!!
"Men in Black", "Total Recall", "The Expendables", "Listener of the Wind", "Gods", and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rise" were originally scheduled to be around Christmas and New Year's Day. Outcome......
Ahh!!hhhh
"Avatar" will die if it comes later!!
Paramount and other six major film companies are looking at "Avatar" with a full face, and then looking at their own movies, it hurts and it is difficult to choose......
Push back the schedule of "Avatar"??
Countless fans are assured that they will say to these studios, "Funny. Come here, I promise not to kill you!! ”
As soon as I thought of this, the film companies, film directors, and main creative staff burst into tears and sadness......
It's better to obediently hand over this best schedule of the year, otherwise what awaits them will be the anger of tens of millions of fans throughout North America.
As a result, in the stunned eyes of many fans and media, blockbusters released around Christmas and New Year's Day have adjusted their schedules, or in advance before Christmas. Either it is postponed to after the New Year's Day.
And the media have used 'the wolf' to describe the arrival of "Avatar", with some schadenfreude and some alarmism.
However, fans don't think as much as the media thinks, and the fans' thoughts are: "It's better to make way for "Avatar". The higher its scheduling rate, the lower the difficulty of grabbing movie tickets. ”
This idea was reported by the media and was heard by those movie creators, and they almost vomited three liters of blood!! When did Hollywood blockbusters be dismissed as garbage by fans, and they were still the kind of garbage that stood in the way!!
However, there are also movies that are released tenaciously under the pressure of "Avatar" and do not adjust the schedule at all, such as "Teddy Bear" and "Brave Legend", and the "Untouchable" from France in the European Union occupies a certain proportion of the film schedule.
None of these three films are science fiction films, and for them, "Avatar" dominates the North American market as both a challenge and an opportunity, so the producers of these films are determined to take a gamble.
――――――――――
October 29, 2012.
European Union, Paris, rue Rumdam.
"214 Rumdam Street...... According to the location on the address, it should be here. Ross and his girlfriend walked down the street, glancing around.
"Hah, I found it!!" Rose finally saw the sign of 'International Cinema' and was so excited that he almost jumped, "Rose, look, we've found it!" ”
But when they entered the movie theater with great excitement, they were shocked by the explosion of popularity inside. I saw that the theater was full of people standing and sitting everywhere, bustling, lively and noisy, as if I encountered the terrible Spring Festival when I went to China.
They had come from a remote rural area for the sole purpose of seeing the mythical IMAX. The International Cinema in Paris was the closest to the countryside, so they arrived in a humble car.
"Hurry up and get in line! Otherwise, it will be miserable if there is no seat in the next place! "My girlfriend urged this Rose.
Rose: "Looks like you have to watch a movie to get in, right?" I ask for a ticket stub. ”
Rose: "Is that so??" Ask the waiter. ”
The two of them lined up alone, and one asked the waiter, and the result was really as Ross said, there were no movie tickets in the IMAX theater, and the only basis for entry was the movie ticket stub.
Then a young man in front of them asked them, "Do you want ticket stubs?" I have here, two for 3 euros. ”
Ross didn't think much about agreeing directly, anyway, the two are only 3 euros, 5 euros to watch 2D movies, and 10 euros to 3D movies (membership is cheaper), 3 euros is considered to solve a great trouble.
All that's left is to wait in line to check the tickets to enter the theater, and the two of them have time to look at the entire movie theater at this time.
The decoration is high-end and high-grade, and can even be described as luxurious, and the waiter is also pleasing to the eye, the service attitude is very good, although now the whole cinema is a little miscellaneous, but it still gives people a comfortable feeling of being at home. Compare that to the movie theater in the countryside...... Ay...... Don't compare.
"It's a pity that it's far away from home, otherwise I'll get a membership card."
The ticket inspection speed was very fast, it only took 3 minutes for the two to hand in the ticket stub, along a specific line to the depths of the cinema, they soon saw the door next to the letters 'IMAX', and a service desk at the door, two beautiful waitresses were standing at the service desk to distribute 3D glasses.
When I got the 3D glasses, several people were talking about it, and none of them had ever seen the IAMX Theater, so they were very curious about the theater that was so amazing, and they couldn't wait to go in at this time.
"I heard that the inside is taller and bigger than ordinary theaters......
"I've heard that movie screens are tilted......"
"I heard that the seats are a little different......
"I live nearby, and I used to find that there were two less theaters here, but now I know that it has been converted into an IAMX theater."
"Oh, I've got my glasses, I'm going in first!!"
“**! Wait for me! ”
A group of people entered the theater and soon let out exclamations!!
"Oops, oh my God!! What a big theater, such a big screen!! ”
"It's really tilted!!"
"Tsk, it's so domineering......"
Auditoriums, screens, chairs...... Many things have amazed fans, rubbing around, looking like a curious baby.
There are also many fans who ran to the screen to take a group photo......
After 10 minutes of tossing, the legendary IAMX short film finally started playing.
Is it really as amazing as the media reports?
All fans will be waiting to see .......
