Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Horror Is Subversion

The current situation of the film industry is that the current IMAX screens in the world exceed 2,500, and the total number of 2D and 3D screens in the world exceeds 100,000.

Obviously, the current mainstream of movies is still dominated by 3D, panoramic vision PV is still a high cost compared to ordinary screening halls, it is difficult to popularize quickly, referring to the IMAX giant screen can be concluded, so we have to follow the existing standards, although panoramic vision PV is the trend of the future, but it must also conform to the current mainstream trend of the industry, it is impossible for film companies to produce two models for a movie at the same time, they can not accept such high costs and risks.

If you want to quickly commercialize PV in panoramic vision, compatibility with current industry standards is the only way out, and PV conversion came into being. However, it is worth mentioning that although the cost has not doubled, it is inevitable that a film wants to take the PV lane and the production cycle is longer. Panoramic vision PV is a new mode of viewing, the shooting technique is bound to be unique from the tradition, in the panoramic vision PV viewing, the scenes seen in different positions are different, it will also mean that PV projection is completely different from the projection of the traditional screen, PV projection is a three-dimensional form of multi-dimensional viewing, the traditional screen is a flat display form, so it means that the same film work, need to be directed twice, the traditional screen once, and then directed again under the PV transformation.

That's the director's problem.

"In other words, in the past, digital films can be transcoded into PV format through PV conversion equipment and shown in PV screening halls?" Raklun hurriedly asked, obviously, if this can really be done, many big productions can even be re-screened once, he believes that even old films, as long as they are screened under a panoramic view, the audience will definitely buy it.

This is definitely a good way to make money, and you can definitely make a lot of money.

"It's like Avatar, which was just screened." Ren Hong said, he said this very clearly, yes!

Raklun's mind became active.

"However, the transformation requires a director, and the process is still directing the work." Ren Hong added. Except for Ren Hong, everyone else here is a film practitioner, which is not difficult to understand.

"So, what is the cost of a PV screening room?" The person from the theater asked again. Everyone looked at Ren Hong, this is the most important thing, there is no screening hall and everything else is in vain.

After a pause, Ren Hong said: "The PV-01 in the laboratory costs $169 million. ”

“What？”

A few people were a little confused when they heard this number, the cost of a screening hall is as high as such an astronomical amount, and I am afraid that no theater operating company in the world can afford this price.

Ren Hong was stunned when he saw that everyone instantly had an empty and happy expression, and quickly explained: "The PV-01 projection system in the ring laboratory does not have much reference significance, and our goal is that the final cost of a PV screening hall capable of accommodating 200 to 300 spectators will be between 5 million US dollars. In half a year, we will successfully build a PV screening room that will cost $5 million. ”

$5 million. This price is almost twice the cost price of today's iMax theaters, but it is also within the range of acceptance, and it is relieved to think about it, the price of such high-end equipment will naturally not be cheap, and the ticket price will not be cheap either.

The price of $5 million is fully commercial.

Ren Hong, Cameron and others discussed in the VIP reception room for more than two hours, and finally several foreigners left after getting a satisfactory result.

When several foreigners walked out of the gate of XlouS headquarters, Lac Lun, CEO of 21st Century Fox Film Company, looked back at the five-building cluster of Matrix Technology and the surrounding parks, and said with a sigh: "iMax has ushered in the strongest competitor. ”

"Actually, I've already sentenced iMax to death." The CEO from the American Imperial Cinema Line responded expressionlessly.

The CEOs of several cinema companies inadvertently looked back at the clusters of eye-catching buildings, with awe in their eyes. XlouS, the Chinese company he is so young, but he is strongly aggressive with a guarantee. Unlike other companies in the world, XlouS's aggressiveness is not reflected in the fact that it is acquired all over the world, and the spin-off and restructuring of XlouS is now valued at more than $500 billion, making it one of only four companies in the world to be worth more than $500 billion. XlouS has never acquired a single company since its inception, and his aggressiveness is scarier than that of any acquisition mad company.

The aggressiveness of the XlouS company lies in its subversiveness, and it is undoubtedly frightening that his competitors will either transform or be eliminated.

"Real-time online translation" has impacted the translation industry all over the world; A voice assistant dominates, in the current global 2.7 billion smartphone users, 1.43 billion users have successfully installed Xiaoyou assistant, in the field of intelligent voice assistant, XlouS company's products have become the only profitable commodity in the market, and competitors at this time are still learning!! Xiaoyou has an indisputable monopoly on the field; Wearable smartphone devices are disrupting the mobile phone industry and impacting Apple's mobile phone business; After the reorganization, XlouS, its subsidiary XlouS-Ax Microchip Company, is about to challenge the old hardware giants, who will be the next world giant to be subverted by him? Intel? Qualcomm? Maybe all!

And today, after witnessing the PV technology of Panoramic Vision, they know that the disruptor of Canada's iMax company has been born, and its disruptor is such a huge giant company. Faced with the ultimate projection model in the film industry, they couldn't find out how iMax could compete with PV.

Although there has not yet been a panoramic vision PV screening hall in the theater, the CEOs of these cinema companies have not hesitated to make a judgment, because from today on, the CEOs of the cinemas who have come here have decided not to add any iMax screening halls to their cinemas, and the replacement for iMax is the PV screening hall.

The real predator is nothing more than that

XlouS's logo slogan "Change the world", I'm afraid that from now on, no one will dare to question this technology company!

"Let's go, after we go back, it's time to terminate the contract with iMax for the 30 iMax screening halls signed some time ago, and the selected location will be reserved for the PV screening room." The boss of the Imperial Cinema Line retracted his gaze and sighed leisurely. Although unilaterally terminating the contract will pay a lot of liquidated damages, he does not have any hesitation, which is cruel to iMax, who is still unaware, but not to terminate the contract is cruel to himself.

It is obviously impossible for a businessman to do this.
