The whole film market seems to be crazy!!

It is precisely because of this stimulation. The number of 3D movie screens around the world is starting to skyrocket!

In North America, it has risen from 9,000 to 20,000, accounting for 78% of the total screen!!

17,000 in Huaxia, accounting for 80% of the total number of screens!

The European region has also risen from 8,000 to 15,000, accounting for 70%.

6,000 in Russia, 7,000 in India, and 9,000 3D screens in South Asia, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea......

Globally, 3D screens account for 60% of the total number of screens!!

When the hard-working Lin Mu saw the news. I don't know how to express my feelings.

Is it a complaint? Or do you complain? Or do you spit and complain?

At this time, the American special effects company Industrial Light & Magic claimed that it had mastered the 3D conversion technology, which could convert a 2D movie into a 3D movie.

When the news was announced, the whole world was shocked.

Can it still be like this?? I'm blind!!

This is cheating!!

The next day, ILM announced its first film transformation plan, "The Terminator", which is expected to be completed in 3 months, and it may become the fourth 3D film after "Warcraft" and other three 3D films.

When many special effects companies hear this, they immediately turn red! We started holding a technical seminar overnight to analyze the principle of 2D to 3D!

Soon. The principle of technology has been analyzed.

The principle of 3D conversion is simple.

In the first step, 2D images, materials, and 3D effect materials are ingested into the entire production line through material management software. These materials are marked with different colors, placed at different depths, and in different layers. When you're done, start adjusting the depth. Then the picture effect is enhanced, and finally the picture is adjusted to ensure the sense of space of various materials in the picture.

Step 2: Add visual effects (smoke, fog, etc.)/correction/rendering.

The principle is very simple. It's so simple that it's transparent!!

The difficulty lies only in the development of the material processing system and in the experience of the people!! However, with the power of large-scale investment, these are not difficult points!!

As a result, the research and development of vigorous 3D transformation technology began!!

However, under this big trend, I hope that the film and television group will not take any action, the 3D film investment plan will not increase, and the 3D film transformation plan will not be started, as if the outside world has nothing to do with it.

In this way, Hope Film and Television Group has become a very different landscape in the global film industry.

――――――――――――――

June 1. International Children's Day.

I hope that "Home Alone", which has been promoted by film and television for more than a month, will finally be released in China across the board, and if the box office is good enough, it will be promoted to other regions one after another.

Managers of theaters across the country watched the final version of Home Alone. all showed great confidence in this movie, and arranged a 20% film scheduling rate for "Home Alone". In this children's festival, there are a total of 7 movies aimed at children in Huaxia, including cartoon movies, children's movies, and children's movies imported from abroad. "Genius Baby", "Baby Project", "Balala Little Demon Fairy", "Cat and Mouse", "Finding Nemo" ......

Among these films, only "Finding Nemo" has a slightly higher schedule rate than "Home Alone".

Cinema ......

A young father, a young mother, a little girl who was only seven or eight years old, and a family of three came to the cinema.

"Dad, I want to watch Home Alone!!"

"Okay, dad will buy you a ticket now, and you'll have to see it soon~~"

In today's movie theater, there are many children under the age of ten, including boys and girls, dressed as little princesses and little princes.

Today is their festival, a grand festival.

And the cinema also prepares good-looking movies for them.

After the theater was ready, the family entered the theater one after another. After waiting for more than ten minutes, when I saw the title of the Hope Film and Television Group, many adults showed excitement.

The movie starts quickly, but it doesn't take long for the audience to start worrying, because the careless parents in the movie accidentally leave their children at home while the family is on a trip.

"Oh my God, there can be such careless parents who forget their children at home."

"Xiaobao is so pitiful, it's a problem to eat, right?"

"The trailer says that there are thieves coming later, and Xiaobao will be very dangerous!"

Most of the people who come here to watch movies are adults accompanying children, and they all belong to the kind of parents who love children more than themselves. The emotions of the audience have been fully mobilized, and they are all staring nervously at the big screen.

But the audience soon burst into laughter.

Xiaobao is not as incapable of life as the audience imagined, he will go shopping alone, what if there is no money in his pocket? He fooled the toll collector.

Seeing such smart and clever little guys, all the audience laughed happily, and the children who watched the movie admired Xiaobao and wished they were so good.

Soon, under the nervous eyes of the audience, two sneaky thieves fell in love with the villa of Xiaobao's family.

The audience's newly relaxed mood became tense again.

The fierce thief, only eight-year-old Xiaobao, the gap between the two sides is too big, and Xiaobao is in danger.

However, Xiaobao once again showed his cleverness,

A bucket was placed above the hidden door......

Put a thumbtack under the carpet......

Trap pots set on door frames......

The big pit at the door......

One trap after another, the thieves who want to steal are about to collapse!!

"Hahahahaha......"

"It's so hilarious!!"

The theater became a sea of joy, and both adults and children were amused to laugh.

"Those two thieves are so stupid!! Hahaha......"

"Xiaobao is too powerful!!"

The movie was not long, only 100 minutes, and when the movie ended, the cinema burst into applause, and the audience expressed their satisfaction with the film.

After watching the movie, many parents received the determination of their children after returning home.

"I'm going to be that brave too!!"

"I don't cry my nose anymore!!"

"I'm going to be a man and protect this home!"

"One day, I will be braver and more witty than Xiaobao!"

Parents are overjoyed and comforted to see that their children have grown a lot after watching this movie.

After the release of "Home Alone", it caused a strong response in the film market, and the praise was overwhelming.

Major entertainment newspapers have followed up with reports.

"Yesterday the adults and children in the cinema laughed together, and I knew that this movie was a great holiday gift for children."

"There's no doubt that it's going to be a classic comedy movie."

"Don't be too entangled in the problem that the bad guys are not bad enough and the bad guys have low IQs, we just need to appreciate it with an innocent mentality, and then laugh out loud without any scruples, this is a successful movie."

"Many children are shouting that they want to be a smart little treasure, and many parents feel that this trip is worthwhile."

"Presumably, many parents who have watched the movie very much hope that their sons can also be as smart and clever as Xiaobao in the movie."

Under the reputation, the score of Time.com also reached 89 points, and its box office was also singing all the way, earning 300 million yuan within a week, and the audience who heard the news was also endless, and the attendance rate has been maintained at more than 40%!

Compared to other movies, the attendance rate of 10% or 20% is really much better!!

And the only one that can be compared with it is Hollywood's "Finding Nemo", and its reputation is also quite good.

―――――――――――――

On June 15, in a large warehouse on the outskirts of the magic capital.

At this time, the crew of "Shocking Demon Thieves" was nervously arranging the scene here.

Forty piranhas were fed, thirty extras, and a number of magic props, which were made by Li Gaofei himself.

Today, the crew is going to shoot a magic trick of escape in the water here, in addition to the escape in the water, it is also necessary to add a more exciting part to the movie - piranha.

The specific content of this movie is: the magician protagonist played by Shen Yao enters a tempered glass aquarium filled with water. An escape attempt was unsuccessful, and 1 minute later, forty piranhas dumped into the aquarium from above.

Some time ago. Lin Mu specially invited several foreign hypnotists and magicians to give lessons to the four of them. After more than a month of targeted study, several people basically mastered the manned floating bubbles, streamers, and short-distance teleportation that need to be used in the movie. And Shen Yao has also mastered certain skills in the escape technique......

The scene reporter and the assistant director were very curious about these magic props, and they moved and touched them, looked left and right, and then looked at the aquarium on the ground with a look of fear, and there was a group of piranhas swimming around, flashing with sharp teeth and cold light.

No one is not afraid of piranhas, many newspapers say that everyone is bitten by piranhas, and there are many clips of piranhas eating people and animals into skeletons in an instant. So its ferocity has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

They looked at the magician Li Gaofei and asked in shock and curiosity, "Is there really a magician who has acted like this?" And there is nothing at all? ”

Li Gaofei nodded: "There is, and many magicians can do it, and the one who created this magic is called David Gao Bofei." He is a famous American master of escape. ”

Again, they asked, "Piranhas don't bite??" ”

Li Gaofei explained: "As long as the piranha is fed and there are no wounds on the person's body, the piranha will not bite. ”

After speaking, Li Gaofei calmly put his hand into the aquarium under everyone's frightened gaze, and the piranhas inside not only did not rush up to bite it. Instead, they hid in the distance.

Li Gaofei pulled out his hand, shook off the water on it, and said lightly: "The courage of the piranha is actually quite small, or ...... You guys try? ”

Everyone stepped back in unison, shaking their heads again and again.

Lin Mu explained to them at this time: "You don't have to worry too much. When the escape technique is performed, it is definitely not a piranha, but an ordinary pomfret, and as for the piranha, it can be set off with a movie lens clip. ”

"Oh, I see!" Everyone can finally rest assured now.

In fact, Lin Mu heard that all the magic tricks of "Shocking Demon Thieves" in the previous time and space were done by the actors themselves, and they did not invite magicians to replace them, nor did they use movie lenses to opportunistically, I don't know if it is true.

It took almost an hour to prepare, and everything was ready.

It should be that there are not too many acting scenes in this scene, so there is not too much ng in the filming, and after an hour, this scene is all filmed.

"Let's go, next stop!! Magic City Oriental Opera Hall, shoot big stage magic!! ”

In the entire "Shocking Demon Thieves" movie, there are a total of three large-scale magic tricks, two of which are stage magic tricks and one large-scale illusion magic trick. And the two stage magic trees were arranged to shoot in the Magic Capital Oriental Opera Hall.

When the crew chose the scenic spots, they negotiated the conditions with Jiang Ping, the owner of the opera hall, and began to renovate the two largest theaters in May, which were used for two stage magic tricks.

When the crew came to the Oriental Opera Hall in the magic capital, Jiang Ping, the owner of the opera hall, was waiting at the door early, and as soon as he saw Lin Mu, he immediately stepped forward and shook hands warmly: "Director Wang, can I also play a cameo role as an audience in the movie." ”

Lin Mu pondered for a moment and replied, "All I can give now is an actor......

The corners of Jiang Ping's mouth overflowed with a smile, and Le Haha said: "The dragon is the dragon!" ”

"Okay! I'll arrange a good location for you. Lin Mu naturally won't object, anyway, there are no requirements for this audience, as long as An An is an audience.

There were as many as 400 extras this time, which was much more than the piranha escape in the water.

400 people sat in the theater, accounting for only a third of the seats, but now computer technology can copy, paste, paste and paste 400 people, and the theater that appears in the movie must be full.

Cameras, props and other things were taken off the car and carried into the theater one after another, and then placed under the command of Lin Mu.

Lin Mu said to them, "Wait a minute, it's time for you to perform magic tricks, let me see the results of your learning during this time." ”

These two stage magic tricks were not fake like the water escape trick in the morning, but real knives and guns.

The four of them were full of confidence: "No problem!! ”

It took two hours to prepare, and all the props, cameras, sets, and everything was set up.

The crew is ready. Cameras, lights, reflective screens, etc. are ready. The extras are in place, and the main actors are all ready.

The stage lights were turned on, and the lights were bright in an instant, and the black glass bricks flashed brightly, and the whole stage suddenly became beautiful. In order to make the scene more eye-catching, Lin Mu's transformation of this stage is as beautiful as possible, modern and sophisticated, which fits the technical background of the whole film. (To be continued.) )
