Chapter 128: It's decided, it's really IMAX!
After receiving a hard hat at the door and entering the shed, although there were masters under construction everywhere, Lin Yuan could still see the effect from the few places that had been completed.
Cheap foam board, drywall and PVC plastic steel, after being treated, do achieve a visual effect that is infinitely close to reinforced concrete.
As long as it is processed by old, rusting and other links, the effect of the mecha base is definitely only stronger than that of Hollywood.
However, when he thought of the money spent on setting up this studio, and the other four studios that cost no less than this studio, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel pain.
Why should you really let those people on the Internet who slander themselves [XQ] come and see, can you really make a movie with a DV and a computer?
Now the bloggers who shoot Vlogs are on anti-shake!
...
In a corner of the studio, following Wang Xuebo's hand, Lin Yuan saw a black back with long hair and a shawl, and a tiger's back.
"Uh... This producer Zhang, should I be called Mr. or Ms.? ”
Lin Yuan asked in a low voice with some confusion.
Before Wang Xuebo could speak, he saw Zhang Zhening, who was facing away from the two of them, flicked his long flowing shawl hair, put his mobile phone to his ear and said:
"Friend, are you done?
Sprinkle water, Vincent! Your boss is an old friend for more than ten years, don't you still believe in the couple?
Relax, even [Penguin Pictures] spicy big company, will not drag you [G-ka] rent!
Okay, good, one Hulk, two little black girls, and one little Lori, send me to Jiaodong next month!
Bye! ”
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhening took out another mobile phone from his pocket, and swiped his finger on the screen and put it to his ear:
"I'm sorry Director Li, I was answering the phone just now. What's the matter, when will Lao Xie come over?
Ah! How long have Lao Xie and his apprentices rested, and if they take a vacation, I'm afraid they won't even be able to focus!
Depend on! Okay, you tell Lao Xie that I got that Alai IMAX! I couldn't get a call from him within an hour, so I went to find Chen Tianxiang...
Okay, old Xie, aren't you shooting seagulls in Sanya? Lie to me?
Fuck off, Lao Li called me on a landline! You better shoot your seagulls, I'll go find Chen Tianxiang..."
"Well, it's a gentleman."
Lin Yuan suddenly felt that this producer Zhang was more like a director than himself.
After Zhang Zhening hung up the phone, Lin Yuan hurriedly greeted him and said hello to the other party.
"Producer, hello, hello..."
"Hah! Finally meet, Director Lin! ”
Zhang Zhening turned around and saw Lin Yuan, smiled and parted his hair behind his ears, and went up to shake Lin Yuan's hand.
Zhang Zhening is a person with a quick temper, and as soon as he said hello to Lin Yuan, he went directly to the topic.
Lin Yuan was also anxious to learn about the IMAX camera, so the two didn't say hello much, and directly found a quiet corner in the studio and sat down to chat.
"So, that IMAX camera is the one that shot "American Team 3"?"
"Yes, it's just that after the filming of "American Team 3", it was transferred to 3D, and the good material was wasted, hey..."
Zhang Zhening is very contemptuous of all post-3D conversion behaviors, which is really blind to the image quality improvement brought by IMAX cameras!
If you really want to shoot in 3D, IMAX also has two 65mm Phantom 3D cameras, although the parameters and effects are much worse than the new 2D cameras, but at least they are really 3D!
Lin Yuan didn't feel anything about it, after 2D shooting, there were more movies that were converted to 3D in the later stage, so he made money, although he was a little cold, but what did it have to do with himself.
Lin Yuan only cares about how much the crew's shooting cost will increase if he really wants to use that IMAX camera.
As long as the increased cost is less than 50 million, Lin Yuan is completely acceptable.
"Brother Zhang, going to IMAX is definitely the best choice, first, it can improve the viewing experience, and secondly, it is also a good publicity stunt, the first real IMAX2D movie in China and even in Asia."
"I've calculated that if I switch to IMAX cameras and super performance lens sets paired with cameras, the rent will increase by 8.73 million, and the subsequent cost increase will be between 40 million and 50 million."
Zhang Zhening shook his head with a smile.
"However, what brought us is definitely not just the gimmick of [the first IMAX2D movie shot by an IMAX camera in China].
If you think about it, although most movies now will be converted to an IMAX version in the later stage, the conversion is not a real IMAX after all. After the film is released, will hundreds of IMAX theaters across the country that meet the specifications show real IMAX sources, or those IMAX sources that are later converted? ”
After Zhang Zhening finished speaking, Lin Yuan's eyes couldn't help but widen.
There are three kinds of IMAX theaters, one is certified by IMAX company, whether it is the screen aspect ratio, screen area, projection system or sound system are in line with IMAX standards, IMAX company certified theater.
There are two left, one is the [CGS giant screen hall] after the screen area has been reduced, and the other is the so-called IMAX hall where nothing meets the standard, but the projection system and sound system are better than ordinary theaters.
The so-called more than 600 IMAX theaters in the country only refer to the first type of theater.
If all three types of theaters are counted, it is estimated that the number of theaters will exceed 3,000, accounting for almost 6% of the 50,000 screens in the country.
"Pacific Rim" plans to be released during the Spring Festival, and Lin Yuan knows that the only movies that compete with him during the Spring Festival in 17 years are "Journey to the West", "Kung Fu Yoga", and "Riding the Wind and Waves".
Originally, "Havoc in Tianzhu" in time and space may have had a butterfly effect because of Lin Yuan, and Bao Qiang has not started filming until now.
All three films were converted to CGS giant screen versions in the later stage, and "Kung Fu Yoga" was converted to IMAX versions, but no matter how they were converted, the effect was far from the effect shot with an IMAX camera.
It is foreseeable that as long as "Pacific Rim" is shot with IMAX cameras, more than 90% of the film schedules of more than 600 real IMAX theaters will be given to "Pacific Rim" during the Spring Festival.
There are more than 2,000 giant screens and IMAX laser theaters left, and "Pacific Rim" will definitely be limited in consideration when filming.
This is equivalent to "Pacific Rim" holding all the theaters with the highest ticket prices in your hands.
IMAX halls in first-tier cities such as Yanjing, Shanghai, Yangcheng, Pengcheng, etc., the single ticket price is above 100 yuan, and some super luxury theaters even cost about 300 yuan!
Thinking about it like this, Lin Yuan instantly understood how to choose.
Depend on! Isn't it 50 million? If you overspend, you overspend! It's not like I haven't overspent!
Changing to other schedules and other opponents, Lin Yuan may still be afraid.
Of the three movies in this year's Spring Festival, Lin Yuan was not afraid at all.
Although "Riding the Wind and Waves" has a decent reputation, it lacks a breaking point, and it only had a box office of 1 billion in its previous life, and it is estimated that it will not be much worse now.
"Kung Fu Yoga" has a slightly poor reputation, and it was able to sell 1.6 billion in the previous life, completely because of Uncle Long's audience popularity and the opponent was too weak in the same period.
Needless to say, "Journey to the West", although there was no time and space in this time and space because of Lin Yuan's joining??, Tang Seng's corner accidentally fell on Li Yifeng, who was known as the four major flows with Lin Yuan, Lu Han, and Yangyang.
Li Yifeng's version of Tang Seng may be better than?? It's better, but the reason for the poor reputation of "Journey to the West" is not just due to a certain actor, so this version of "Journey to the West" will not be too good.
In this period, Lin Yuan has a strong confidence that he can recover the cost.
If you add the label of [China's first real IMAX movie], the box office may be able to surpass "Mermaid"!
If the box office of "Pacific Rim" can really surpass "The Mermaid" to win the title of the box office champion of Chinese films, even if it will be surpassed by "Wolf Warrior 2" in a few months, it will be enough for Lin Yuanshuang for a long time!
"Brother Zhang, I've decided!"
Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Zhening with firm eyes, and said in a resolute tone:
"I'll leave the matter of borrowing the machine to my brother! I'm confident that Pacific Rim won't waste such good hardware conditions! ”
"Good!"
Zhang Zhening shook hands tightly with Lin Yuan, and said with a hearty smile:
"Brother, you have confidence, brother, and I have more confidence when I go to talk! And not only the hardware, but also the photography, sound, and art, I will also do my best to bring in the best team.
Don't worry, this is also our Penguin Films' first movie, and my brother won't smash his own signboard! ”
...
After chatting with Zhang Zhening, Lin Yuan stayed in Jiaodong for a few more days and guided the setting of the studio, before coming to a steel factory in the suburbs of Zhangjiakou on May 31 and joining the group to start the filming of "Wolf Warrior 2".
