Chapter 432: Phenomenal Movie
"Lin, when are you going to shoot the sequel to Savage?" In a well-known variety show in Spain, the beautiful hostess Elsa . Pataki asked with a smile.
Lin Yuquan had a charming smile on his handsome face, and said: "To be honest, I don't know when to shoot, at least not for the time being, I don't want to simply repeat it, this is not only irresponsible for my own creative pursuit, but also irresponsible for the fans and audiences, I hope that each of my movies can have something fresh."
Cameron's "Avatar" IMAX3D that I am currently filming gave me a new idea, combined with the IMAX giant screen, IMAX3D movies can produce a realistic full-field stereoscopic effect, presenting a wider and more immersive ultimate visual shock. In the past, the conditions were not ripe for IMAX3D films, but now is the time, and I'm really looking forward to what kind of visual effects the IMAX3D version of "Wild Beasts: Hundred Clans" will produce.
And the reason why I said I don't know when to shoot is mainly because I have no relevant experience before, I need to learn and study systematically, and it is best to steal from Cameron, in fact, my "Wild Story" is quite similar to his "Avatar". ”
Lin Yuquan, who has watched IMAX3D and IMAX movies, has long been interested in shooting such an IMAX3D with audio-visual effects far beyond ordinary movies, but the high cost of producing and playing IMAX and the difficulty of transportation have prevented him from making the trip.
In fact, from a technical point of view, IMAX is quite an excellent electronic frame format. But it has not been widely available. Most of the subjects are documentaries suitable for broadcasting in popular science institutions such as planetariums. There are only a few real IMAX movies every year, and for some reason, they can't be widely broadcast.
It wasn't until the fall of 2002 that IMAX teamed up with Universal Pictures to launch an IMAX version of 1995's Apollo 13, which for the first time used IMAX's exclusive 'DMR' remastering technology to convert traditional films into IMAX format.
IMAX movies have ushered in a new development, but it is only a development, and it is obviously far from popularization, mainly relying on cooperation with well-known Hollywood directors to promote. For example, with Christopher. Nolan cooperated and successively filmed two IMAX movies, "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows" and "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight", of which "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight" was the first commercial film to use IMAX cameras to shoot some clips. Zemeckis, Michael. Bey, David. Yetz et al. cooperated.
Moreover, DMR upscaling technology is not comparable to the IMAX format that directly produces the film into a 70 mm 15-hole format, and does not fill the entire IMAX screen during projection, only filling to about half the scale.
Despite this, judging from the development of IMAX movies in recent years, Lin Yuquan also felt that it was time to shoot. Especially when "Wild Ages: Rise of the Apes" was a box office hit, and more funds were about to be squandered on hand. There's no reason why he shouldn't try, and as an avid movie buff, he's looking forward to the IMAX3D effects of Savage Savages: Rise of the Apes.
Elsa. Pataki and the audience were both surprised and excited. Pataki laughed and said, "Oh, the IMAX3D version of the sequel to "Wild Stories", the investment must be amazing!" ”
"That's right, it will be a big production, a bigger production than "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race"." Lin Yuquan said brightly.
"How big? It is said that James. Cameron's "Avatar" cost at least $300 million to make. "Elsa. Pataki asked with a charming smile.
Countless viewers in the living room, bedroom, dining room, and bookstore stared at the TV screen with bated breath, their eyes unblinking, obviously curious about Lin Yuquan's answer.
"Honestly, I don't know, $200 million, $300 million, $400 million, who knows? As long as I don't get bankrupt, I'm as big as I am. Lin Yuquan joked.
The audience who was watching the TV show all laughed dumbly, wanting to make Lin Yuquan bankrupt, how much investment in that movie, although with the increasingly severe economic crisis, Lin Yuquan's stock market wealth has shrunk significantly, but his current net worth is at least more than 5 billion US dollars, let alone 5 billion US dollars, even if an IMAX3D movie is invested, it will not exceed 500 million US dollars!
"Oh, that's exciting." Elsa. Pataki smiled and said, "Do you have any other plans for a new movie next?" If you hadn't been on the screen for a long time, I think fans would have gone crazy. ”
"I do already have a movie." Greet Elsa. Pataki's gaze, Lin Yuquan chuckled and nodded.
"Wow, really, is it convenient to reveal some information about the movie?" Elsa. Pataki asked excitedly.
"I'm afraid it won't work, it's not yet time to announce it, but everyone will know soon." Lin Yuquan smiled mysteriously.
"Oh, selling Guan Zi at this juncture, I hate you Kung Fu Lin." At this moment, I don't know how many Spanish viewers hated it in their hearts, and soon similar voices appeared around the world.
In fact, since the film's release, "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape" has firmly occupied the attention of all media, film critics, filmmakers and movie fans. And with Lin Yuquan and Andy. Serkis, Benedict. Cumberbatch and others launched a week-long promotion in Europe, and the whirlwind of "Wild Wilds: Rise of the Apes" around the world has undoubtedly intensified.
The IMAX3D version of the sequel to "Wild Story", well, everyone knows that Lin Yuquan is definitely not joking, as long as the fans who have watched "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Clan" The audience suddenly became excited, in their opinion, the visual effects of "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" have been shocked to the point of incredible, if it is the IMAX3D version, God knows how amazing the audio-visual effects are. I don't know how many people were filled with resentment when they saw this report, and I don't know how long they will have to wait this time. They can't wait now. It's really tormenting.
Fortunately, there was another exciting piece of news that caught their eye. Otherwise, they will suffer from now on, Lin Yuquan actually has a new movie plan, which seems to be quite mysterious, which makes the fans more and more excited, everyone knows that Lin Yuquan's movies mean "wonderful", "good-looking" and "will not disappoint", as a fan who loves to watch movies, as a fan who always supports Lin Yuquan, who doesn't want Lin Yuquan to make more movies. There are too many bad movies on the screen, where are Lin Yuquan's movies good, good movies are rare, and they are all worse than anyone else. Some die-hard fans wish it was all Lin Yuquan's movies, and they would never get enough of Lin Yuquan's movies.
At the same time, as "Southern Weekly" said: Lin Yuquan has now become the embodiment of miracles and myths, and in just a few years, he has surprised people again and again, creating one jaw-dropping miracle after another, including in film. He is on the path to becoming a great director, and everyone can't wait to know. The 24-year-old can reach such an admirable height, which also makes his every move a lot of attention, and everyone has great expectations for his new movie.
What type of movies will Lin Yuquan make? What is the title? What kind of story is told? Is it just a director, or will it star? Can it create a more brilliant box office myth? These are all things that people are concerned about, and they are also hotly discussed.
Neither Lin Yuquan, Summit Entertainment, nor Dawning Movies have mentioned this further, but the media are already gearing up and eager to try, and everyone hopes to be the first to dig out this secret, even if it's just a title.
After being released for a period of time, "Wild Ages: Rise of the Apes" had more than 220,000 user votes on imdb, and although the score has declined, it is still as high as 9.5, far exceeding the 9.1 of "The Godfather", ranking first in the IMDB Top250, and looking at the current shape, unless "The Godfather" or "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", "The Godfather 2", "Seven Samurai", "Casablanca", "Schindler's List", "The Lord of the Rings 1: The Lord of the Rings Appears" Die-hard fans of the top scoring movies are unwilling to be surpassed by "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes", and they have voted for it like a volcanic eruption, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to shake the position of "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" in the top 250 on imdb for a long time.
The number of reviews on Rotten Tomatoes has reached 264, of which 251 are fresh and 13 are rotten, and although the praise rate on Rotten Tomatoes has dropped by one percentage point to 95%, it still shows people's recognition of "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes".
There may be some critical or disgusting words, but such words are drowned in endless admiration, and they can't set off any wind and waves at all.
"The imagination that cannot be achieved without Lin Yuquan runs through the whole film, which makes people unable to extricate themselves and indulge in it, this is the movie, this is the blockbuster, this is the masterpiece, this is the fantasy epic!" Los Angeles Weekly.
"The fascinating and wild continent depicted in the novel is extremely realistic under the precise technology and rigorous setting, and the audience's heart is completely brought in, and the unprecedented extreme visual effects are swept in waves like a tide, shocking the soul." "Variety".
"If even Savage: Rise of the Apes doesn't satisfy you, then what other fantasy movie do you watch?" Time Magazine.
"This is the most vivid and convincing fantasy world in film history, so don't get drunk in the Lord of the Rings world." Chicago Tribune.
At the same time as it is popular with critics, another topic that has attracted much attention has also emerged, what will such a fantasy epic with visual effects that shocks the soul achieve at next year's Oscars. Rich said that she thinks "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" is a strong contender for next year's Oscars, and it will definitely win the award, and it also deserves an Oscar for Best Director, so what nominations will "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" get, and what awards will it finally win?
Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Editing, Best Soundtrack, Best Song, Best Editing, Best Art Direction, just like in previous years, Lin Yuquan can only be shortlisted for technical awards, or can he attack the heavy awards?
"There's no doubt that 'Savage: Rise of the Apes' is bound to get a place at next year's Oscars, and I can't imagine that it will not be a winner, and the whole world will think the Oscars are crazy!" Empire Magazine.
"Savage: Rise of the Apes will be the frontrunner in the technical category nominations. Can it be shortlisted for important awards such as Best Picture and Best Director? I think so. Los Angeles Times.
"Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes is not a simple commercial entertainment movie. Its ideology is also moving, if Lin Yuquan is refused to be nominated because of age and race, yes, I am talking about Best Picture and Best Director, it is absolutely unfair discrimination. Nanfang Daily.
""Braveheart" has 10 nominations and 5 awards, and "Titanic" has 14 nominations and 11 awards. "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" has 11 nominations and 11 awards, and "Gladiator" has 12 nominations and 5 awards, except for Lin Yuquan's age and race, I can't find a reason why "Savage: Rise of the Apes" is not an Oscar winner. Sing Tao Daily.
"If I were to predict that 'Savage: Rise of the Apes' would be nominated for an Oscar in any category other than the acting and costume design awards, the Best Visual Effects award would even have a result." Zhou Liming, a famous domestic film critic.
Under such comments, it can also be shown that "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" seems to be a recognized Oscar favorite.
Of course. In the news of "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes", people always pay the most attention to the box office. Everyone wondered if it could continue to sweep.
And the fact is that under the impetus of various news and a new round of fierce offensive by Summit Entertainment, the enthusiasm of fans and audiences has not cooled down in the slightest, even if it is the third week of release, "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" is still unstoppable.
This shape is fully reflected in the box office charts of the new week, the mythical masterpiece "Wild Story: The Rise of the Apes" only scratched 30.7%, with a single museum of $16,317, with a box office of $64.69 million, still firmly entrenched in the box office list, achieving three consecutive hegemony.
$64.69 million, even if this figure is placed in the premiere, only a few blockbuster films can reach it, and in the third week weekend, it is unimaginable and unbelievable, but this is the truth, the ironclad fact, in the third week of release, "Wild Story: The Rise of the Apes" created another myth, far surpassing the box office of "Spider-Man 1" of $45.04 million, refreshing the best result of the "third weekend box office revenue" in film history.
The film's single-day box office from Monday to Friday last week is also remarkable, basically remaining around $13 million, with a single-week box office of $111 million, and a total box office of more than 100 million for three consecutive weeks, setting a record.
So far, "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" has a cumulative box office of $459 million, setting records for the fastest breakthrough of $350 million, $400 million, and $450 million, and surpassing the $441.2 million of "Shrek 2", $435.5 million of "E,T Aliens", and $423.3 million of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin", becoming the third place in North American film history box office, second only to "Titanic" $600 million, Star Wars of $460.9 million, and according to the current form, "Wild Stories: Rise of the Apes" surpasses "Star Wars" in just one day.
That's a glorious number, and it's only been 17 days since Savage Tales: Rise of the Apes was released, and a series of records have been made retrospective.
At the same time, in China, "Kung Fu Panda", which had already postponed the schedule to July 3, chose to postpone it again, which also made "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" not encounter any obstacles, and once again dominated the weekly box office ranking of the mainland box office, closing 171 million in a single week with a slight decline of 36.32%, not only setting the best result in the third week of box office history in film history, but also setting a brilliant record of more than 100 million box office for three consecutive weeks.
So far, "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" has a cumulative box office of 592 million in the mainland, becoming the first film in the mainland to break 500 million at the box office, and refreshing the box office record in mainland film history that has just set a zào, which is really jaw-dropping.
Lin Yuquan himself was taken aback, when had he ever seen Chinese people watching movies so enthusiastically, in an interview, he spread his hands: "What can you say?" A lot of people watched it over and over again, and our audience was growing, as you could predict. Thanks to the good critics' reviews and the audience's word-of-mouth, this is definitely a big surprise, breaking 550 million in ten days, I never thought of it that way, thank you for your support of me. ”
Coupled with the excellent box office results in other places, in the end, "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" recorded $162 million in overseas box office in a single week, a drop of only 40.11%.
Counting the $111 million in North America, "Wild Days: Rise of the Apes" earned a staggering $273 million at the global box office in a single week, with a total global box office of $1.121 billion, becoming the fourth member of the global box office $1 billion club, surpassing the $1.1199 billion of "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" and the $1.066 billion of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin" in just 17 days, and catching up with the $1.843 billion of "Titanic".
What is a myth, this is a myth.
Wow, in an instant, the whole world was shocked that "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" broke through $1 billion, no longer limited to propaganda offensives, and one by one fans and audiences spontaneously walked into the theater with a sense of longing or curiosity, and in the office, in the café, in the restaurant, on the street, in the bookstore, in the classroom, on the lawn, everywhere you can hear "Have you seen it?" "I'm going to watch it again" and "You haven't even watched "Savage Story: Rise of the Apes", go watch it, we've all seen it".
The craze for "Wild Savage: Rise of the Ape" is gradually becoming a movie-watching phenomenon, and this is the power of a phenomenal film that is taking the world by storm. (To be continued......)
