Lin Mu came to the renovated IMAX theater under Yuli's lead, and he felt good in all aspects, and Lin Mu was quite satisfied.
"Boss, I want to ask, when will there be movies in this theater? It's a bit of a waste to leave it vacant like this. Yuri asked.
"Don't worry, there will be a few minutes of short films delivered in June, the length is 5 minutes, and one more will be added every month. The films will be shown at the Expo for a month before they can be shown here. Then at the end of the year, there will be an IMAX-3D feature movie here. "This forest tree has already thought of countermeasures, and the waste of site rent is absolutely intolerable.
"That's right." Yuri thought about it for a while, but still frowned and said, "Although there are short films that can be played, it seems a bit too much to charge for short films, and it will be a waste if you don't charge ......"
Lin Mu waved his hand and smiled: "You can announce that as long as people who have watched the movie in this cinema can watch the IMAX3D short film with the ticket stub, so that you can attract more fans to watch the movie in the cinema through this IMAX3D short film." ”
"yes, I didn't even think of it!" Yuri said with chagrin.
After Lin Mu had a meal here, he went straight to the next city, and before leaving, an employee proposed to take a group photo, and Lin Mu agreed without hesitation.
After Lin Mu and his party left, Blisi took a copy of the group photo and took it.
At this time, a waiter colleague came over and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Blisi, who was that just now?" ”
"Which one?"
"Is that the uncle who the manager hurriedly came to greet him? The one that looks a little taller. ”
Bliss: "That's our boss." ”
"Hey, when was this picture taken? Wow, okay, you didn't call me when you went to take a group photo! It's so unfriendly!! When the colleague saw the photo on Bliss's phone, he immediately understood what was going on, and exclaimed and snatched the phone, "Huh? Isn't this man my idol Wang Dao? ”
"What Wang Dao? Who? Bliss was dazed.
"It's the one in the middle, it's very similar to yes, I saw him at the Oscars last year, absolutely yes, he's my idol...... Resemble...... Uh-huh......" The colleague's eyes widened as if his throat had been choked, and after two seconds, he jumped violently, "Ahhhh!!hh I didn't even recognize the idol walking by just now!! Ahhh
"Group photo!! Such a great opportunity is gone!! "My colleague is crazy!!
After a month of patrolling abroad, Lin Mu returned to China. Lin Mu was very satisfied with the inspection results of foreign IMAX cinemas, and everything was completed according to his original plan.
On the Huaxia side, the secret acquisition of movie theaters has also completed the acquisition of 102 movie theaters, with a total of 805 screens and 107307 seats. The cinema covers 10 provinces, cities and regions such as Magic City, Pearl, Guangzhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, etc., and all areas above the county level are covered.
However, there is no way for the cinema chain to be established for the time being, because the cinemas have signed contracts with the original cinema chain, and the work of terminating the contract is still very cumbersome.
For the renovation of IMAX cinemas in these cinemas, Ketuo Group and Hope Film and Television have sent a large number of engineering designers, and the goal is to renovate the cinemas in large cities with a population of more than 10 million in China.
In addition, Hope Film and Television also quietly set up a Tianwang Media to manage the seven newspaper media that were acquired and a large domestic forum network. In addition to the problems encountered in the acquisition of TV stations, the acquisition of media and websites has all achieved the target, and the acquisition has been officially terminated.
Since everything is going on in secret, there is not much news outside, but some people are speculating about where the money that Hope Film and Television borrowed at the beginning has gone. Originally, they thought that Hope Film and Television was losing money and asked for a loan, but now with the big sales of "Fast and Furious 3", "Transformers 2", "Iron Man", "Thor" and other movies and the hot sales of peripheral products, they realize that the huge profits made by these movies are enough to maintain the operation of Hope Film and Television.
So where did that big huge loan go?? "Avatar" also cost 4 billion?
Some people think that Lin Mu invests in real estate, and some people think that they invest in overseas industries, and only a few people speculate to buy news media. As for the acquisition of TV stations...... No matter how big their brains are, they can't guess it.
Time flies by in a blink of an eye, and soon it is the end of April. The battle for the box office of the Dragon Boat Festival is about to start again, and the film market is already hot, and all kinds of well-known movies Hollywood blockbusters, EU blockbusters, and domestic blockbusters will appear in turn during this time.
However, the movie of Hope Film and Television happened to be not ready, so I had to give up this piece of cake.
At this time, there is a group of unusual people thinking about another thing: "Go to New Orleans to attend the World Expo and see Avatar." ”
"A local tyrant is a local tyrant! Hug your legs! ”
"Team up? Good to take care of! ”
"Take care of what. Americans dare to bully us Chinese? You don't have the guts! ”
"Ask your friends to form a team to watch the legendary IMAX and watch "Avatar"!" ――
May 1, 2012.
Louisiana, New Orleans, USA.
Today is the first day of the opening of the Expo. The official of the World Expo announced the official opening of the World Expo in a warm and enthusiastic speech.
The Expo has been around for 162 years, and its origins can be traced back to the 16th century. This was followed in 1851 by the Universal Industrial Exposition held in Hyde Park, England, which became the world's first world exposition, which lasted from May 1 to October 11, 1851, and focused on world culture and industrial technology.
In the following 162 years, it has been held in various countries around the world, and the scale has become larger and larger, and the number of tourists has broken through from the original five or six million to five or sixty million today, and the highest number of visitors record was created by the 2008 China Magic City World Expo, reaching 98.9 million people.
And its influence is gradually expanding, and the number of people in the world is also more than one billion, which will greatly affect the economy of a country and region.
After the opening of the Expo. The first visitors are naturally journalists from all over the world, and they always rush to the front line to get the latest news as quickly as possible. Their first target will be the three most powerful countries -- the European Union, China, and the United States.
"Lea, William, the European Union, China, and the United States are located in different areas. It's too far away, why don't we go to these three places separately? So that you can get first-hand information faster? Anthony suggested.
"I think so too, I go to the EU Pavilion and my father works there." Leia said.
"I agree, I'm an American, I'm going to the American Pavilion." William chosen.
"Okay, then I'll go to the Huaxia Pavilion." A hint of cunning flashed in Anthony's eyes.
ABC. One of the three major television networks in the United States sent three teams of people today, and Leia, Anthony, and William are all excellent reporters, each with a photographer. Without saying much, the three of them went straight to their destination with their photographers.
Anthony was proud in his heart: "You didn't choose the Huaxia Pavilion, it seems that this news is destined to fall into my pocket." ”
Anthony was very happy because he had heard from his Chinese friend that this year's Huaxia Pavilion had an exhibition that would surprise people. So what he hopes most is to go to the Huaxia Pavilion alone, so that he can dominate a big news!!
"But the location of this Huaxia Pavilion is too far away from the No. 1 gate of the World Expo!!" Anthony and the photographer walked bitterly to the Huaxia Pavilion.
The exterior of the Huaxia Pavilion is red all over, and the layers of height become larger, just like a crown hat, which is called "the crown of the East." Prosperous China".
After taking a few photos, Anthony and the photographer entered the Huaxia Pavilion, and a cool pavement came, which made people feel refreshed, but Anthony did not look like he enjoyed it at all, but hurriedly called a reception attendant and asked: "I want to see IMAX, how to go!" ”
The waiter politely said, "Please come with me." ”
The road was very long, and Anthony and the puzzled photographer followed the waiter all the way through the exhibition areas, and walked through all the exhibition areas, making Anthony frown: "It's absolutely deliberate!" ”
Two minutes later, I finally came to a door with a few large words written next to it - 'IMAX-3D screening area'. In addition, several posters were posted elsewhere, one showing an octopus with tentacles rushing out of the screen to reach the audience, and the other was an eerie ghost castle with a dead man lying outside the ghost castle with a wooden stake stuck in his chest, bleeding all over the ground......
"WARNING!! People with heart disease, eye disease, and children should be cautious!! ”
And in front of the door there is a service desk with two uniformed attendants seated: "Welcome to the IMAX area!!" ”
"I'm going to see this!" Anthony pointed to the door.
The waiter took out two pairs of glasses: "These are 3D glasses." Please keep it away, and please return it consciously when it comes out. ”
Anthony saw that a reporter had already come in on the other side of the exhibition area, and asked nervously, "When will the movie start showing?" ”
"Hello sir, the IMAX-3D short film will not be screened for 10 minutes. Please be patient. The viewing time is 16 minutes, with four different short films. ”
"It's only been 16 minutes?!!" Anthony was shocked! "Why is it so short?"
"Because it's a short film, not a movie, thank you." The waiter explained, "These four short films are "Ghost Castle", "Avatar", "Grand Canyon", and "Underwater World". Special note, the short film "Avatar" is the trailer for the long movie "Avatar". ”
The waiter is actually an employee who wants the film and television to send over, and he will stand in this position to talk (push) and explain (sell) "Avatar" for every tourist who comes to watch the movie.
"Short film...... Avatar ...... Well, can we go in now? ”
Waiter: "Yes, sir." ”
"That's good." Anthony hurriedly walked to the door with the photographer.
"Big news! I'm coming!! Anthony took a deep breath and pushed the door open. Turning a corner, Anthony finally came to the theater.
"Big!!"
"It's too big!!"
Anthony and the photographer were stunned by the huge curved movie screen!! At this time, the lights in the theater were turned on. Bright as day, the curved large screen that slopes forward is really impactful!!
"Hurry up and shoot, we're going to make the first news!!" Anthony quickly came to his senses because he was mentally prepared, and hurriedly urged the photographer to say. The photographer also hurriedly turned on the camera and took pictures of all parts of the theater.
In these ten minutes. Forty or fifty tourists came to the theater one after another, but what made Anthony relax was that these tourists were all Chinese, with black eyes and black hair, speaking Chinese, and listening to their words, it seemed that they deliberately ran from China to experience IMAX-3D for the first time.
"It's good not to compete with peers." Anthony breathed a sigh of relief.
He chose a seat to sit on, and then he realized that this seat was a little different from ordinary theater seats, and it had to be tilted back more.
When the time comes. The IMAX-3D short film finally began to be screened, and everyone sat in their seats and watched it with their glasses on. Ten minutes later, the so-called IMAX-3D film finally began.
The first short film is "Ghost Castle"!!
Six mountaineers drove through hip-hop to a gloomy forest, where all the forest trees had withered, and only sharp branches remained, like ghost claws with teeth and claws.
"Hiss~~~" The audience in the theater exclaimed one after another. The body quickly tilted to the side to dodge, because the branches kept cutting in front of his eyes as the car moved forward, as if he was about to scratch his face if he didn't dodge.
The sun is setting in the west, and the sky is getting darker.
The car gradually disappeared into the gloomy forest, and all this was not discovered by the travelers who were in a state of adventure and excitement. Soon before it was completely dark. They came to an ancient castle in front of a medieval European castle architectural style.
Then the audience saw horrific scenes, with bats rushing at them, glass piercing into the eye, wooden stakes piercing into the chest, and falling to death...... One by one, the travelers died......
IMAX-3D brought them the most exciting visuals and almost stopped their hearts.
"'Ghost Castle' is over!!"
"The next Avatar trailer!!"
Screen Transition......
Soon they came to a beautiful starry sky......
In front of you is a beautiful planet, with forests, waterfalls, suspended mountains, and wyvern monsters that fly through the air from time to time...... (To be continued.) )
