Chapter 546 I Realized an Aircraft Carrier
Wang Ling's lion opened his mouth so that almost all movie theaters called him a profiteer.
The books of "The Three-Body Problem" are indeed best-selling, but its film and television works have never passed the market test. Who knows if anyone will buy it by then?Such a high copyright fee, if no one reads it, maybe it won't even be able to earn back the cost.
And people who know "Three-Body Problem" are very clear that the world view of this work is too grand. Human beings have not touched the real two-dimensional space and four-dimensional space so far. How do you talk about the related content later? filmed?
Even if the first work does not involve such a grand picture, it is undoubtedly an unparalleled challenge for actors, shooting, technology, and post-production requirements.
If it is done well, it may really be a masterpiece.
If it is not shot well, it is basically not much different from the two works of Dou Qi Hua Ma and Mentally Disabled Fortress. Just scolding will be scolded to death, let alone profitable.
But in the face of such a bundled sale, they have nothing to do, what can you do with them?
In the end, a family of movie theaters bought the copyrights of those works at a high cost, and according to Wang Ling's request, adjusted the screening rate of "Three-Body Problem" to the highest.
Of course, because of the high copyright price, the ticket price of the movie "Three-Body Problem" is as high as double that of other movies. As for whether they can make money, they have no hope. Offset this high copyright fee.
This effort did not disappoint them. The enthusiasm of the audience, who had been squeezed for more than a week, was terrible. Because of the problem of film scheduling, the pre-sale of movie tickets was at least twice as usual, which greatly relieved the bosses. .
The pre-sale box office exceeded 30% of the previous work, which is quite a gratifying growth rate.
As for those who couldn't buy advance tickets, they began to wonder, is there something wrong with these people?A well-known popular movie has increased the screening rate, and actually handed over the highest screening rate to a work in Huaxia.
Can Chinese people make science fiction films?
In the concept of most foreigners, most of the funds for Chinese people to make movies are used to hire people, and some change is used for special effects. This kind of behavior has been criticized.
Because of Wang Ling's previous threats, those people didn't know that the reason why the release of those popular movies was delayed was to let foreign markets accept the work "Three-Body Problem".
"Is this really a masterpiece? Otherwise, how could they have such confidence to put this kind of work in the c position?"
Many people who were waiting tried to watch this work.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it just opens the door to a new world.
Let's not talk about how much energy Zhang Menglong spent in selecting actors for this work, and he spent a huge sum of money to build the huge project of the Red Bank Base.
The final filming team and special effects team are top-notch, and he upholds a principle that if he can produce without special effects, he will never use it!
The most important thing is that Zhang Mengyu hardly made any changes to the original text, which is almost impossible for any film and television adaptation.
This has resulted in an astonishing four hours of this work, and the final film effect is undoubtedly shocking. The four-hour film has no pee in the whole process, and people can't help but sigh the Chinese people's brain hole Big and well made.
With the first batch, there will be the second batch. The effect of this kind of word of mouth is very scary, and although its price is high, the duration of the film is twice as long as other popular films, which is not unacceptable.
On the first day, there were only seven or eight people in a cinema big enough to accommodate fifty people.
On the second day, the attendance rate of the movie actually reached 50%.
And on the third day, it was completely full.
The movie "Three-Body Problem" has swept the world like a virus. The charm of this work lies not only in the grand world view, but also in the analysis of human nature and the down-to-earth display of some scientific knowledge.
A week later, the worldwide box office of "Three-Body Problem" actually directly surpassed that of "The Avengers", creating a film and television miracle!
"Add more games! Give me more games!"
Businessmen are all profit-seeking. Now that there is no restriction from the Cultural Bureau, the belief of those movie theaters is only one word, "money".
They now feel that they are idiots. At the beginning, Wang Ling gave them the film at almost free price. At that time, they only had to take 2% of the box office share, but they all refused.
But now, not only is the copyright fee a big expense, but the box office share is also ridiculously high. When the national box office is calculated, it earns less than a billion dollars.
If I had known this earlier, even if they were fighting against the Cultural Bureau, they would still take this step!
The box office of "Three-Body Problem" skyrocketed, causing wave after wave of sci-fi storms in China. As investors of this work, Zhang Mengyu and Wang Ling were directly invited to a live talk show.
"Mr. Zhang, we meet again," said the host this time was Sa Xining whom he had met last time.
"Yes, we meet again," Zhang Mengyu said politely.
"The last time we were on the same stage was when you won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Unexpectedly, it took less than a month, and this time the theme is still completely unrelated to the film industry. I don't know if you have anything to say .”
"It's nothing," Zhang Mengyu said, "I just don't want others to think that I rely on my face for food, and I rely on my talent."
"Hahaha, talent? Even Caihua!"
"One thing to say, even if you are rich, can you win the Nobel Prize in Physics? Can you make such a high-level movie?"
"Yes, I admit that Zhang is always a man who can surpass me in appearance and talent."
"Actually, there are many details about this work that deserve our time to analyze slowly. However, as the host, I have a selfish intention today. I hope Mr. Zhang can answer a question for me."
"Teacher Sa, please tell me." Zhang Mengyu said.
"What kind of method was used to film the scene of the Guzheng project?"
The so-called "Guzheng Project" was called an epic picture in the first work.
The Judgment Day, the offshore ship base where the Trisolaran organization ETO is located, was cut into 50cm iron pieces by the nanomaterial "flying blade" when it passed through the Panama Canal.
All ETO members who wore them were cut in half, and the entire ship disintegrated directly.
In the movie, this scene really makes people feel creepy.
"Did that use a new type of special effects scene? Did it use the method used when the Titanic sank?" Saxinin asked. The Titanic made a model of a certain scale to take pictures of the sinking. , it is estimated that a similar approach was used this time.
"Oh, are you talking about that scene? It wasn't made by special effects, I really cut an aircraft carrier!" Zhang Menglong seemed to be talking about a very ordinary thing.
Sassini: "≡;°д°)"
Audience A: "What the hell?"
Audience B: "Jiangsu swear words!"
Audience C: "Damn words in the devil city!"
Audience member D: "Northeast swear words!"
"This is really unimaginable," Sa Xining was dumbfounded.
"The 'Flying Blade' is also an ultra-high-strength graphene material developed by our Jiangnan University of Technology. Its fineness is 10 times smaller than the 'Flying Blade' in the original text, and its strength is 4 times stronger. It took a lot of effort for the Panama Canal to shoot this scene for us!"
"The Judgment Day you saw was rebuilt by buying a decommissioned aircraft carrier, and it cost 50 billion U.S. dollars!"
"I'm rnnmmp!"
"Ah, ah, ah."
