Chapter 774 The Miracle of 3D "Qin Shi Huang"
Through the screenings of the previous films and the great success of the previous films, Hollywood has at least successfully opened the curtain of the Christmas movie schedule competition, and once the curtain is opened, then "Qin Shihuang" as the last horse will naturally be to everyone's attention.

After returning from mainland China, Chen Xiaotang and the others almost put down their burdens and edited non-stop.For such a huge movie, the big guys had to finish the final editing within a week and then send it for review.Fortunately, Moying Entertainment has always used the mode of filming and editing at the same time. In this way, although a week is a bit tight for them, it can basically be completed.

Ever since, the editing room of Fox Films, a subsidiary of Moying Entertainment, has once again become a battlefield in full swing.In order to complete this movie, to be precise, to make this movie released on time under the premise of ensuring the quality, Chen Xiaotang has already used all the power at his disposal.

This Christmas file, Moying must win!
Aiming at the big drama of Moying Entertainment.

Many Hollywood filmmakers have no doubts about its quality. After all, the great directors Spielberg and Lucas are among them, and Rafi Chen is legendary for his superb acting skills. With superstars joining in the performance, the quality of this drama should be first-rate, but in terms of box office, everyone is very worried.

In the words of the famous commentator John Carta: "There is no doubt that this time Moying Entertainment has built itself a tall building with too much investment! With 2000 million US dollars, at least three or four very good movies can be made. , but so much money has been invested in this drama, even if this drama earns 100 million a day, it will take 20 days to pay back, not to mention the distribution of accounts to other theaters. It is said that this movie may not make a penny if it is released for a month!"

"Such a terrible investment makes us look forward to it. What will happen to such a work? Magic Shadow Entertainment, which has always been known for its strong funds, when it started filming this big movie, we doubted whether it had calculated the cost, or invested in it at the time. The people in this drama are so hot-headed that they are determined to waste their money in order to promote Chinese civilization! I have to say, this drama burns too much money, it hurts the ass!"

As competitors, CEOs of other Hollywood film companies also expressed various views.

Paramount, "We know that Mr. Rafi Chen, the president of Magic Shadow Entertainment at the moment, must be under a lot of pressure. It's just that this movie is a big production that he personally decided to shoot; yes, he made the decision alone. It is undeniable that he is very rich, but this kind of money-burning behavior that does not consider the actual situation still paves the way for the current box office of this movie. If the box office is really bad, I believe that as the leading actor and investor, he , I will definitely cry a lot, and I will hand him a tissue when the time comes! Tell him later, honey, don’t cry like a bitch!"

MGM Films, "I really can't think of it, without Rafi Chen's big investment, how can we show our cautious investment. Every time we shoot a movie, we will calculate the income in advance, Then I decided whether to do it or not. But this time, it was obvious that Moying Entertainment did not do this, and Lafite Chen did not do this. He directly threw gold bars in, 2000 million, even a big-name company like ours would be astonished. How can the cost be recovered? Let alone profit? Unless there is a miracle, but is this possible?!"

Disney Films, "Thank God, fortunately, what we are doing is cartoons, not live-action movies, otherwise such a huge investment of 2000 million may make us bankrupt!"

Columbia Pictures, "Moying Entertainment used to be very cautious in filming. We clearly remember that when they first acquired Fox, they invested in almost all low-cost small films, such as "Terror Cruise" and "Buried Alive". Movies worth 100 yuan, or at most 600 million yuan, brought them tens of millions of profits; but now, everything has changed, and Moying Entertainment has become arrogant. From this huge investment, it can be seen that They no longer think about exquisite small productions, and they are bound to usher in the era of blockbuster films, but is it easy? But we are still looking forward to the release of their new film! By the way, we invested 3000 million in "The Last Temptation of Christ" ", now the box office has reached [-] million, isn't this a good start?!"

……

From the above remarks, it can be seen that whether it is Hollywood critics or film companies, regarding the Fox drama "Qin Shihuang" under Magic Shadow Entertainment, let alone the word-of-mouth, the box office is unanimously unfavorable. The reason is that the investment of 2000 million The cost is too great to be recovered.

In response to such questions, a famous reporter from Sky TV in the United States interviewed the black Jim, the chief manager of Specter, and Jim answered on behalf of the company.

He said: "Although our investment in this film is huge, we have the confidence and reasons to recover the cost. As for the magic weapon, please let me put it off first."

"Then what do you think of this drama? Are you worried about the box office?" The reporter continued to ask.

"I? I'm just a part-time worker. Regarding the box office, I believe that we have achieved the expected goal, because this is what our most admired Rafi Chen made, and he made it right!"

"Then can we say that you have some blind worship for him?"

"Even if it is, many people want to worship him, but they are not qualified? If you are capable, you can earn hundreds of billions a year and come and see?"

"Sorry, we're talking about movies now, not financial investments!"

"But in my opinion, whether it's finance or movies, our boss has done a great job! He can't be wrong!"

"It seems that you are really confident, which really aroused my curiosity, what is the magic weapon for your box office success!"

"I'm sorry, as I said, I can't reveal it until the movie is released. It's a secret!"

……

This news interview was very weird, but it revealed some news to everyone, that is, Moying Entertainment has a unique trick to recover the investment cost of 2000 million yuan. As for what this unique trick is, everyone does not know.

In any case, under various speculations and various public opinions, the blockbuster movie "Qin Shi Huang", or the movie "Qin Shi Huang" with the largest investment in Hollywood in history, was finally officially released nationwide at the end of December! ! !

Then everyone suddenly discovered that the ticket price for this show turned out to be an astonishing one hundred dollars a piece!
No way, it's too black-hearted, isn't a movie ticket just a dozen dollars?Why is this movie ten times the price of other movie tickets? !

Is Moying crazy about money? !Or is it so unscrupulously charging indiscriminately in order to recover costs? !

Some viewers even directly reported this "disorderly price increase" phenomenon to the U.S. price bureau, but the conclusion they got was: the other party's price increase was justified!
Why is this happening?Everyone, dumbfounded!

It was not until the end that everyone realized that "Qin Shihuang" released by Moying Entertainment turned out to be an epoch-making "3D stereoscopic movie"!
For a long time, this kind of movie technology has only been rarely used in sci-fi movies, in order to create amazing special effects that cannot be presented in original live-action movies, such as roller coaster diving up and down, underwater world, space roaming, and bullet shooting.

It is the first time that it is directly used in a large-scale ancient war epic blockbuster in this way.

The 3D slogan played by Moying Entertainment is: "Accompany us, travel through time and space; gold and iron horses, visual feast!" It is clear that they want to sell cool in the battle scene.

As for the marketing slogans in newspapers and magazines, they are respectively——
"Be the first to eat crabs! Watch the 3D masterpiece and win the new century!"

"Are you still a young man? Then watch "Qin Shihuang" in 3D and tell you what new film technology is!"

"If you don't go to the theater during the holidays this year, you have to watch 3D!"

"3D movies, the best choice for new humans!"

……

To put it bluntly, Moying Entertainment focuses on young people's curiosity, competitive spirit, and super high acceptance of new things.

Undoubtedly, this strategy is very successful, especially in a place full of curiosity, wonder, and vanity like the United States, where young people are flocking to this new thing, so much so that 38 3D cinemas have been fully booked. That's not enough.

However, due to the limited number of 3D cinemas, other cinemas can only play the general version of "Qin Shihuang", and its ticket price has not increased, just like other movies.

However, this polarized ticket price has been recognized by most people, so that if you have money, you can go to 3D, and if you don’t have money, you can come and watch this show.

In short, those who want to watch this movie are basically satisfied.

On the day of the premiere, almost all of Hollywood focused on the film. Chen Xiaotang, who was standing on the balcony on the second floor of the theater, breathed a sigh of relief as the audience entered the theater like raging waves.

I don't know which reporter saw him below, and shouted: "Lafite, that's Lafite! Could you say a few words, just about this movie, okay?"

Chen Xiaotang was condescending and said, "I am very grateful for everyone's support. This drama has condensed the most of my hard work. From the beginning of filming to the present, I just want to say that it is absolutely great!"

"Is it really great? Mr. Rafi Chen, are you exaggerating?" someone asked.

Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly, "Whether it's great or not, you come in and see for yourself soon, do you know?"

The reporter blushed, "But now there are no tickets!"

Chen Xiaotang shrugged: "Then I'm sorry, even though I'm the boss, I can't help you, so I can't give you my seat, can I?"

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

..........
What is the biggest suspense tonight?Undoubtedly, it is the premiere performance of the super masterpiece "Qin Shihuang".

Two hours later, the answer came out.

What makes a good movie?Wonderful?Touching?Or resonate?
There is no doubt that "Qin Shihuang" is a big movie with a historical epic theme. It is majestic and majestic from beginning to end, which makes people hold their breath.Especially the 3D viewers were shocked by the unprecedented audio-visual experience.Like gold and iron horses, the bloody and tearful battlefield is right in front of you.

Chen Xiaotang, the actor who plays the leading role Qin Shihuang, can be described as domineering on the big screen. He portrays an iron-blooded and cunning emperor through the ages to three points.

His ferocious eyes, eagle eyes, and the momentum of the dragon and the tiger make people shudder on the big screen.And the tenderness hidden deep in his heart, the nostalgia for his mother, the attachment to his first love, and the enthusiasm for dominating the world, make people extremely sympathetic.

It can be said that in the play, Chen Xiaotang interpreted Qin Shihuang's more than [-] years of history one by one, portrayed his life one by one, and won everyone's approval with his superb acting skills.

And the most tragic part of this drama is undoubtedly "Meng Jiangnu Crying on the Great Wall". The original folk story that was very tearful, after Chen Xiaotang's adaptation, it is undoubtedly more successful.

The heroine Lin Qingxia is sometimes tender and affectionate towards her husband; she is persevering in her work and denounces cruelty in the face of Qin Shihuang.Especially the scene where she knelt beside the Great Wall for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, and cried bitterly, made all the audience burst into tears, and then yelled at Qin Shihuang played by Chen Xiaotang.

It's over!
It's finally over!
At the moment when the lights were turned on, everyone stood up from their seats at the same time, and then there was thunderous applause, which was so earth-shattering that it would collapse the entire cinema.

Looking at each audience, there is emotion, joy, tears, and laughter on the face...

"This is the best movie I've ever seen, and it also moved me the most! Miss Meng is so pitiful!" said a black aunt wiping her tears with her sleeve.

"This drama fills me with fighting spirit. I want to work hard like the leading actor Qin, and conquer the Six Kingdoms. Oh no, first, we will conquer the six grocery stores in front of our house and start my supermarket empire!" A young white man said. He waved his fist and said.

"You ask who I like? Oh, how should I put it, I like that godfather Lu Buwei very much. I think he is very principled, but unfortunately, he was poisoned to death by his son Qin in the end! But he lived a great life and died a glorious death! " said a middle-aged man in a suit.

……

These are all the voices of the audience, and at this moment, as the investor and leading actor of the film, Chen Xiaotang was pushed onto the stage with a smile by directors Speer and Lucas.

Chen Xiaotang came to the stage, and kept waving to everyone, saying thank you, and motioned for everyone to be quiet, but everyone was about to go crazy, especially seeing him appearing, even burst into tears with excitement.

"This is a more majestic historical masterpiece than "Roman Empire" and "Ben-Hur". Chen, your script is a success!" The honorary mayor of Hollywood, USA couldn't help applauding and congratulating from below.

"Thank you!" Chen Xiaotang nodded to him, and then glanced at the audience who were looking at him. At that moment, without any words, everyone's eyes immediately stayed on him.

"I'm sorry, I made everyone cry today! Do many people hate me? In reality, I never bullied Meng Jiangnu!" Chen Xiaotang bowed to everyone, and then said amidst everyone's laughter: " Now that the movie is over, some people probably regard it as an epic inspirational movie, some people regard it as an action movie on the battlefield, and some people regard it as a tender romance movie... But it doesn't matter, Because in my opinion, no matter what kind of drama it is, it succeeded and won everyone's applause!

Chen Xiaotang's words seemed very calm, without any excitement or pride.

At this time, everyone was lost in thought, because just like what Chen Xiaotang said, everyone regarded this drama as a genre they wanted to recognize, but in the final analysis, this drama is just a tool for entertaining everyone, and it has been well-received. If everyone's unanimous approval is obtained, then this is really enough.

Chen Xiaotang, who has always been honored, has taken the initiative to lose his aura at this moment, and seems to be on the road to changing his basics and returning to his true nature.

Seeing everyone's pensive look, Chen Xiaotang smiled inwardly, then looked at the reporters in the press box, nodded and said: "I know that the reporters friends have a lot of questions to ask, so now I will give you half a question. hour!"

"May I ask Mr. Chen, the heroine who plays Meng Jiangnu in the film, why didn't she come to the scene today?"

"It's very simple. She has put in a lot of effort to film this film, especially it takes time to get away from the role, so after filming this film, she went out to travel and relax!"

"Mr. Chen, do you believe in the Lord? Otherwise, why did the Great Wall fall down in your movie? Obviously, thunder and lightning strike, this is a manifestation of a miracle!"

"No, I never believed in any sect or religion, and you asked about miracles? Hehe, that's just a description method for the needs of the plot! Everyone has never seen God, who knows that this is a miracle , or is it a natural phenomenon?"

"Mr. Chen, then..."

……

"There are still 2 minutes left, who still wants to ask?" After answering countless questions, Chen Xiaotang looked at his watch and looked at everyone with a smile.

"I would like to ask you, do you have any plans to make a film this year?" It was a female reporter.

"This... I didn't want to say it at first, but I will tell you now!" Chen Xiaotang teased the reporter, and then said: "After I finish this movie, I may not act in any movies for a while!"

"Wow!"

As soon as Chen Xiaotang finished speaking, everyone immediately stood up and looked at Chen Xiaotang in disbelief, because the news was really scary.

"No more acting in movies? God! There will be another headline tomorrow!" A male reporter was so enthusiastic that his eyes were red.

"Impossible! How could Lafite stop filming? We fans will never agree!" A female fan shouted emotionally.

"I……"

Chen Xiaotang looked at the fanatical crowd below with a smile, and couldn't help feeling sore, he had to explain: "I understand everyone's mood at the moment, but please understand me! The reason why I'm taking a break from filming for a while is because I'm filming this movie. Has been diagnosed with a split personality—"

"What? Split personality? Lafite is sick!"

"How is it possible, how could Lafite get sick?!"

All doubts will become a clamor.

The new book "Tuning Xiangjiang" recommended by a friend is the first, it is very good, everyone can read it!
