Since he decided to engage in science fiction a few years ago, if he wants to make science fiction famous, and if he wants science fiction and special effects themes to be recognized in the domestic market, he must release a blockbuster before "Avatar", otherwise the audience will be preconceived.

They use "Avatar" to deny domestic science fiction.

Since developing the science fiction film "Hope", what he is most worried about is that his science fiction works will compete with "Avatar", or be released after "Avatar". In this way, the influence of domestic science fiction will be greatly reduced. Science fiction and special effects

The future of the subject matter is even more worrying.

Fortunately, "Sky Curtain" avoided all of this from happening, and has achieved extraordinary results and high market recognition.

In this way, Chu Xuan also strengthened his confidence in engaging in science fiction and special effects themes, and also eliminated his fear of "Avatar" to a large extent.

But now, I suddenly realized it.

Although the superficial performance of "Avatar" is better than that of "The Sky", if the ticket prices are compared equally, then "Avatar" is even weaker than "The Sky" in the domestic market!

The number of moviegoers was less than that of "Cinema"!

The market share is lower than that of "Tianmu"!

Such an astonishing discovery made Chu Xuan instantly burst with self-confidence, thinking confidently in his heart: As long as he dares to invest money, as long as he persists in working hard, as long as he devotes himself to creation and production, as long as the publicity is widespread and effective, then there is nothing wrong with it.

Things that are possible.

Before that, with his foresight, if "Sky Curtain" could beat "Avatar"? He himself couldn't believe it.

But now the facts are before our eyes, "Sky Curtain" really rivals "Avatar"!

"Awesome!" Chu Xuan was extremely excited. The work he participated in actually did such an amazing thing, and he was really happy.

"Looking at it this way, as far as the current situation is concerned, our "Sky Curtain" is better than "Avatar" in the domestic market." Chen Musheng said happily, and he obviously also drew the comparison results from the ticket prices.

"That's right, from the perspective of market share and number of moviegoers, "Sky Curtain" is currently slightly better." The theater manager confirmed.

Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yifei, Zou Zhaolong and An Zhijie all had happy expressions on their faces and were happy for this.

They didn't have Chu Xuan's vision for the future, and they weren't as excited as Chu Xuan. They couldn't deeply understand the excitement point of their own movie surpassing "Avatar".

They are just in awe of the name of "Cameron", a world-famous director, and are wary of the publicity stunt of "ten years of careful creation".

I am worried about the impact of my own movies.

But judging from the current release situation of "Avatar", although it is true that it is popular, no matter how popular it is, it still loses to its own "Sky Curtain". So this "Avatar" does not seem to be as powerful as advertised.

They have no control over how this movie fares overseas.

But it has become a fact that it lost to "Sky Curtain" in China, which means that "Sky Curtain" has achieved great success. The strong rise of domestic science fiction and special effects themes also means that domestic films have successfully resisted in this battlefield without gunpowder.

A wave of powerful foreign cultural input!

This made them not as excited as Chu Xuan, but their happy expressions and full sense of glory were equally palpable.

Chu Xuan felt very happy. The theater manager repeatedly offered to watch the movie for free, but he waved his hand and insisted on paying for everyone to watch the movie.

Just like that, everyone took a pair of 3D glasses and walked into the 3D movie screening room.

After everyone took their seats, they looked at the screen together with the audience to see what strange features the legendary "Avatar" had.

For Chu Xuan, it was like reliving this epoch-making blockbuster that had gradually faded in his memory.

Having been both a director and a producer, and growing up in an environment where his capital status was also improving, his aesthetic perspective on movies has become both broad and in-depth.

Throughout the entire movie, he found that the biggest highlight was the special effects, while the character setting and story line were very weak.

The story tells a story about humans wanting to colonize an alien planet, which is very much in line with the "werewolf" thinking of Western capital.

Moreover, the story develops in a single line, with a very simple linear structure, straight forward.

But aside from these, the visual effects of the scene have an absolute and super impact.

Compare it to "Sky Curtain", such as the Mountain House, the countless silver bridges between mountains and rivers, countless caves, tall waterfalls and flowing water pipes, etc. The combination of many elements will distract the audience's attention and make the audience shocked by the complex scene.

Construction, ignoring the details that are lacking in special effects technology.

Many of the big scenes in "The Sky" are like this, using multi-element methods to construct scenes to make up for the shortcomings in special effects technology, allowing the audience to focus more on the multi-element scenes rather than the rendering of special effects.

.

But "Avatar" is different. Its large scenes are not complicated. For example, it is just an ocean, a forest, or a vast plain. The beautiful visual effects bring a very strong impact to people.

The elements are very simple, so it can better reflect the development and power of special effects technology. This aspect cannot be compared with "Sky Curtain".

The visual effects of the scenes in "Cover" pay more attention to the diverse structure of aesthetics, further reflecting the diversity of cultures.

The scene visual effects of "Avatar" pay more attention to the aesthetic impression created in the virtual world, highlighting an absolute technical control.

This difference is reflected in the photography process, that is, the shooting of "Ceiling" requires many models to serve as real scenes, while the shooting of "Avatar" only requires a piece of green cloth, and the rest is all done by technology.

If you take off the 3D glasses, the two movies can compete with each other. Although "Canopy" is technically inferior to "Avatar", "Avatar" cannot compare to "Canopy" in terms of the diversity of scenes and cultural diversity.

However, if you put on 3D glasses, it will be an immersive visual experience, which is a level above "Sky Curtain" in terms of movie viewing.

Thinking of this, Chu Xuan came to the conclusion: "Even if "Sky Curtain" loses the global box office, it will be lost in technology, not in the content of the movie itself. If "Sky Curtain" is also a 3D movie, you can also wear 3D glasses to experience it.

When it comes to the immersive viewing mode, everything is hard to say.”

The movie viewing ended with the audience's unfinished exclamations.

"To be honest, in terms of imagination and setting, it is not as good as "Sky Curtain", but the picture is really beautiful and the visual impact is so refreshing." One audience member said with emotion.

"Yes, the world view is not as grand as "Sky Curtain", nor does it have the cultural connotation of "Sky Curtain". It is a purely popcorn-style cool movie, but the special effects are so awesome. Wearing these 3D glasses feels like you are experiencing the real thing in the movie.

Everything, "Sky Curtain" cannot compare to this," one audience member said.

"No wonder a ticket is so expensive. It cost me 120, but it's worth it. Watching a movie for the first time felt like I was actually there, which made me feel so happy." One audience member said happily.

said.

"It would be great if "The Sky" was also in 3D. Those big scenes would definitely be more enjoyable to watch." Some viewers expressed regret.

Amidst the noisy chatter of the leaving audience, a family of three and others also stood up and left.

Chen Musheng said: "I'm not complaining with colored glasses, but I'm saying that this story is really not that good. It's an obvious Hollywood cool movie template. It establishes the good guys and villains in a linear story. The logic is really incapable of complaining.

.”

"Let's just say that a decent person doesn't help humans but helps aliens. This position is very strange." An Zhijie said.

Zou Zhaolong smiled and nodded: "The most important thing is, why would that decent person have feelings for Nami? Nami are not beautiful, and they are not in line with normal people's aesthetics. It is even more strange that a human would like such an alien woman.

.”

"Don't be politically correct again." Liu Xiaoli said.

The couple listened to their discussion and found it very interesting.

Chu Xuan said: "It is undeniable that their special effects are really strong. And 3D technology, including 3D cameras, video cameras and other equipment, can allow Hollywood capital to make a lot of money on a global scale."

Everyone was stunned, as if this was really the case.

Chen Musheng admired him: "As expected of a boss, his vision of looking at things is far-reaching. Yes, the global film industry may undergo major changes, and the ultimate beneficiary will be the capital behind Hollywood, which sells 3D equipment."

"Sure enough." Liu Xiaoli reacted and nodded: "Hollywood has a deep-seated purpose in making such a movie. No wonder they spared no effort to invest money in publicizing it to make it known to the world. Everything is to make a lot of money for equipment."

"Then we can also buy their equipment!" Liu Yifei took Chu Xuan's hand and shook it again.

"I'm afraid..." Zou Zhaolong paused and said: "I'm afraid that our performance of "Tianmu" will be too good, so that Hollywood will block us in this area and not sell us new equipment.

, thereby preventing our development.”

Chen Musheng picked up the 3D glasses in his hand and looked at them, then raised his head and said: "The special effects genre in China has just started. No, except for the bright ones in "Sky Curtain", Yinghuang, and China Film and Television can be said to be in their infancy. The entire market is still in its infancy.

You haven't started yet, and you want to run before you can walk? This is obviously not the normal way of development, so even if Hollywood is blocked, it has no real meaning. We don't need 3D yet."

"Heroes see the same thing." Chu Xuan nodded slightly: "Although it sounds unpleasant to say, we are indeed lagging far behind as a whole. Even if we get the most advanced things, it is of no use. The middle development stage is still blank.

The entire market still needs to improve and catch up.”

"Yes." Chen Musheng nodded in agreement, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Judging from the current situation of the domestic film industry, the only domestic special effects blockbuster is "Sky Curtain", and the development of this aspect of the entire market is still almost zero.

Even normal digital special effects movies are still in their infancy, and it is really too early to mention more advanced 3D special effects now.

After hearing what they said, Liu Yifei also understood and no longer struggled with 3D or not.

Anyway, no matter how good "Avatar" is, it has been proven that it cannot compete with "Sky Curtain" in the domestic market, which is enough for her to be happy.

As for future development, that will be discussed in the future.

Liu Xiaoli walked out of the theater, checked the time on her mobile phone, and said: "It's 3 p.m., we can prepare for the award ceremony. Let's go back to the hotel and have a meal first, and have lunch and dinner together, so as not to leave the award ceremony without being hungry.

Belly."
