"When I heard your report about IMAX, I thought it was a great opportunity, so I came." Director Liang said with a smile as he walked. He was not polite at all, and he did not hide his satisfaction at all.

As he said, he was pleasantly surprised when he saw IMAX's application report.

There are dozens of national exhibition halls throughout the World Expo, and tourists and businesses simply don't have so much energy to go to see them one by one, and those projects that are gimmicky and interesting to tourists can obviously attract more tourists to visit.

At present, the exhibition project of the Huaxia Exhibition Center has basically been decided, but there is a big problem, although the exhibited project products are very advanced in technology and should be very popular, but there is a lack of a sharp weapon/top brand that can attract others. When he saw IMAX, his eyes lit up and he felt that this technique would be pimping...... Oh no, it's the top card/weapon of solicitation.

When the group came to the door of the screening hall, the chairman of Ketuo Group and Bi Han glanced at each other and smiled secretly. Then they all pushed the door of the open screening hall.

"Good...... Good...... Big...... Ah......h

"Isn't this screen flat? It turned out to be an arc type!! ”

"Still a slanted ......"

Everyone was stunned by the huge screen. Standing under this huge screen, I felt like a dwarf looking at a huge mountain.

Although the length and width data of the IMAX screen are already known, when they actually see it, the 8-story screen still amazes them.

All the people who followed Liang Wen were stunned by the huge spherical screen in front of them!!

With his mouth wide open, his eyes bulging, he stared at it blankly.

Ke Tuo and the people who hope for film and television did not make a sound to remind, because they couldn't help but flutter in their hearts when they saw others stunned when they saw their masterpieces~~~

Refreshing! It's so cool!!

To put it vulgarly, it's a bit like the feeling of being out of the body when you finally get liberated after holding your urine for a day.

Liang Wen was the first to wake up, and when he saw his subordinate's stupid look that almost dropped his jaw to the ground, he was so ignorant that he couldn't bear to look at it directly!! coughed, woke up his subordinates, glared at them, and then pretended to be very calm and said to Chairman Ketuo: "Show us a video to see if it's really as amazing as you say." ”

"Okay" Chairman Ke Tuo hid the smugness, and then ordered the people below to prepare.

Taking advantage of this time, Chairman Ketuo also introduced: "This theater was renovated last month, and it was not so tall and big before. According to the floor plan shape and body ratio of the theater, screen size, viewing distance and horizontal/vertical viewing angle, viewpoint, grandstand slope, oblique viewing angle horizontal control line, seat arc, projection pitch angle...... Its design is designed according to the optimal scheme, with 482 seats, and its length, width and height can ensure that every seat can enjoy the best audio-visual enjoyment. ”

He poured out a bunch of technical terms crackling, with his pair of academic professor's glasses, how awesome to look at!! Regardless of whether others are dizzy or not, Liang Wen's group is dizzy anyway, and they don't feel clear!!

The chairman's secretary forced a smile when he saw this scene, and muttered in his heart: "No wonder the boss held that report last night, it turned out to be a fool." ”

The group chose a seat in the middle of the theater and sat down, and soon several tall and graceful beauties each came to the theater with a tray and gave each person a glasses case. When I opened it, it was a pair of glasses. Lighter and thinner than regular glasses, but the lenses are larger.

"Director Liang, leaders. This is our company's latest development of 3D eyes, lighter and larger than the ordinary, better light transmittance, 3D will be more comfortable, this is a little bit of our mind. ”

When the people heard this, they felt comfortable, and now they want to watch 3D movies, all of them are in the cinema, and 3D glasses are naturally common, and now they have this pair of glasses. Mom doesn't have to worry about getting her public glasses dirty anymore. Although this heart is not worth much, it is comfortable.

Soon the projector was turned on and the lights in the auditorium were turned off.

The little movie officially begins......

What catches your eye is a sea scene, with a flock of birds flying by, and the camera quickly passes over the sea with the vision of a flying bird.

Clear blue skies. Colorful clouds, sparkling waters......

The blue sea and blue sky within the line of sight are very visually impactful, and I feel as if I have become a bird, flying freely between the blue sea and blue sky, and I feel that even the air I breathe is salty, as if every cell is cheering for the sea breeze.

A colorful fish suddenly burst out of the sea. Like a dolphin jumping on the surface of the sea, the splashed water droplets turn into dreamy pearls under the sun's rays, and then sprinkle all over the sky, forming a dreamy scene, which makes people lose their minds.

The fish burrowed into the sea, and the camera began to follow the fish into the sea. In front of everyone, there is a gorgeous underwater world where corals, seaweeds, and fish can show off their beauty.

The film is not long, only 5 minutes, from the sea to the bottom of the sea. From small fish to big fish, to large octopuses to giant sea snakes, and then to giant sea monsters......

It's an underwater world full of fantasy.

"Good!!" Liang Wen patted his thigh and said in surprise. He has seen a lot of 3D movies, but this IMAX-3D is definitely much better than 3D!

"Anything else??"

Everyone looked at Bi Han in unison, their eyes eager. They knew that such a video must be made by the film and television company.

Bihan smiled: "Yes! ”

In the second video, they saw a beautiful planet with forests, waterfalls, suspended mountains, and dragon monsters flying through the air from time to time...... and blue-skinned humanoids jumping in the woods, wielding bows and arrows......

The video is even shorter, only a minute, but the tip of the iceberg is enough to make those who watch it want to stop.

"How can it only be ?!! in 1 minute?"

"Why not 5 minutes??"

Some people looked at Bi Han as if they were deep resentful women.

Bi Han took a long time and broke a blockbuster news: "Let me introduce to you that the planet shown in this video just now is one of the tidbits of our company's new movie "Avatar", and the name of this planet is 'Pandora', and the story in "Avatar" unfolds on this planet." ”

"Wow~~~" Everyone was in an uproar.

"Is it true?"

Finally the news of "Avatar" has come out!!

――――――――――――――

After Bi Han returned to the company, he made a direct phone call to Lin Mu to report the good news, and also described in detail to Lin Mu the wonderful expressions of that group of people after seeing the IMAX giant screen and "Avatar".

After the two had fun for a while, Bihan came to the special effects production department and found the person in charge: "The five IMAX videos of "Everest", "Ghost Castle", "Space Station", "Garden" and "Grand Canyon" are going to start to speed up production, and we will show them at the World Expo in the United States in May. ”

"May? Well...... There are still two months to go, and there should be no problem! ”

"Haha, that's good! It's been a hard time for you."

A day later, the China National World Expo project team finally announced to the world the list of projects participating in the 2012 New Orleans World Expo, and IMAX was impressively listed. However, the IMAX project did not attract the attention of others because they did not know what IMAX was.

At this time, Ketuo Group rushed to New Orleans with a technical team to speed up the renovation of the space of the Huaxia Pavilion, which may be a bit rushed, and there will be other merchants who exhibit goods to express their dissatisfaction with this, but under the resolute instructions of the superior leaders, all the opposition voices were forced to be suppressed.

In the eyes of the leadership, there is no project that is more in line with the theme of this World Expo, 'Leisure in the Age of Technology', and there is no project that is more attractive than this IMAX.

After Lin Mu received a call from the chairman of Ketuo Group in Zhangjiajie, his heart finally fell, and at the same time, he was glad that part of the benefits of IMAX were distributed to Ketuo, otherwise things would not have gone so smoothly.

"As long as the World Expo is a hit, it is enough to make "Avatar" popular all over the world without publicity."

"Do you want to increase the Avatar IMAX video from one minute to 3 or 5 minutes?" Lin Mu cupped his cheeks and thought. "If it's longer, it can make the audience more enjoyable, but it's easy to reveal more plots, which has pros and cons."

In the end, Lin Mu thought about it and still felt that it was over. It will be exhibited in May, and "Avatar" will not be released until January next year, which is too early and not conducive to publicity.

"The expo will last until October, so let's release a 3-minute video in October, and promote it 3 months in advance, there should be no problem."

――――――――――――

But within a few days, the entertainment industry began to spread a piece of news that shocked countless people.

"Hope Film and Television and Ketuo Group have jointly developed a new film shooting and projection technology, called IMAX, which is several times larger than ordinary movie screens, and Lin Mu's new movie "Avatar" uses this technology called IMAX."

The news is getting wider and wider, but most filmmakers don't think it's possible, and their reason is that a new technology can't suddenly appear, and if there really is, there would have been news before.

There are also many shrewd film companies that quickly approached Ketuo Group, hoping to understand the truth of the matter. If it's true, then they can use this technology faster than anyone else to make a profit for them.

"It's true that we developed IMAX technology, and you can look up the list of exhibitors at the New Orleans World Expo, and there are IMAX exhibits in it." The president of Ketuo Group said with a smile outside.

"But...... Specific information is not convenient to disclose at this time. ”

This sentence immediately made many film companies and reporters hate it.

"I want to interview the president of your company."

"I'm a reporter from the Star Daily, can I be accommodating?"

"I heard that Director Lin's current "Avatar" was filmed with that MAX technology, I don't know if it's true?"

The Hope Film and Television Group, which had been silent for a long time, ushered in dozens of reporters again, all of whom wanted to enter the Hope Building for interviews, but unfortunately they were driven out by that group of vicious security guards, well, at least in their opinion, this group of security guards was very fierce, as if they were going to eat them.

In the eyes of that group of security guards, these reporters are scoundrels, ruffians, and scum, and they still remember that some time last year, these so-called reporters came to Hope Film and Television to interview, and they also spoke awe-inspiring words to each other, as if Hope Film and Television was a heinous evil force.

For this kind of scum reporters, the people's security guards who love the motherland, the people, and the company will naturally not have a good face for them. For several days, reporters from major media outlets were blocked out, and not even the slightest bit of news was interviewed. At this time, there is more and more news about IMAX technology outside.

"IMAX technology was developed by Hope Film and Television, and then cooperated with Ketuo Group to establish an IMAX technology research and development company."

"The large camera of unknown model that came out at the beginning was the IMAX-3D camera, so "Avatar" was indeed shot with IMAX technology."

According to insiders, the size of the IMAX screen exceeds 30m*20m, spherical shape, and more than 400 seats. The insider also revealed that the visual effects of IMAX are many times better than ordinary 3D, and some clips of "Avatar" are also shown for nearly 1 minute. ”

With more and more news from the outside. It has gradually been determined that Hope Film and Television is the inventor of IMAX, and "Avatar" also uses IMAX technology.

"Avatar", which I was not looking forward to, has finally attracted widespread attention from the Chinese people, and there are many discussions on the Internet.

"I'll just say, a $4.4 billion investment in a movie will definitely not be bad."

"Woods. I was wrong. ”

And the number of reporters gathered outside the Hope Building suddenly skyrocketed. They blocked the door of the Hope Building every day, and some reporters even pretended to be employees, cleaners, and pipe repairers...... Broke in. Then he was thrown out by the security guards.

The time gradually crossed February to March 2012.

Hope Film and Television, which has been blocked for nearly a week, finally moved, and began to meet with reporters from the media, but there were not many of them. There are only 7 media outlets. (To be continued.) )
