Crazy, 500 yuan also dare to make a science fiction blockbuster

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

But Fox couldn't help frowning. It was because of this that the company did this before, which caused the stock to fall all the way, but even now, these people still haven't thought about it at all.

Chapter 497 Join hands to see a new world

Ye Heng looked at the huge film crew in front of him and the few popular Hollywood stars beside him, and couldn't help but smile and sigh with emotion.

When he was filming "Jigsaw", the total cost of the seven films probably did not add up to 3000 million.

The actors are all looking for those who spend the least money, such as extras and extras.

The crew is also the cheapest one I can find.

Even in order to save money, he signed a nine-month contract with those actors.

But now, the total cost of the actors of "Dead Silence" exceeds 2000 million, and the total salary of the crew is more than 1000 million.

In addition, there are costs for various venues and props, as well as publicity fees.

According to Fox, they have spent almost [-] million dollars on the whole film.

Among them, the biggest consumption is the announcement, which is as much as 5000 million.

But in fact they don't need to spend the front money at all.

There is almost no publicity department in the new era. They just distribute posters before the movie is released.

Ye Heng himself is a director with a huge amount of traffic.

And those movies that are not directed by Ye Heng have Ye Heng's name on the screenwriter, which can also attract many people.

Publicity fee?For Ye Heng, this thing does not exist at all.

While Ye Heng was filming "Dead Silence", on the other side, New Era released another picture.

But above the picture, there is not much information about the movie, only two simple lines.

"Together with us, hand in hand to see a new world."

"Countdown: 30 days, 23 hours, 59 seconds."

At the same time, New Times changed its previous strategy of releasing one movie a month.

These two movies are "First Blood 2" and "Frozen".

According to the original plan, the two films should be released one after the other in two months.

But I don't know why, but now they are suddenly in the same schedule.

"Damn it! "First Blood 2" and "Frozen" are on the same schedule! This is so cool! Seeing two new movies from Xinshida in one month!"

"Is this month a special day? World Film Month??"

"It doesn't matter what day it is! I only hope that every month, or even every day, there will be two movies released!"

"Long live the new era! Watching two new movies in a row is simply the best thing in my life!"

But not long after the cheers, everyone began to discuss curiously.

Why did you combine the schedules of the two movies this time?

"By the way, is there something important this time? I don't usually have this kind of situation."

"It really hasn't happened before. They are all released one by one. There has never been such a thing."

"Have you seen the picture posted by New Era? I think it may have something to do with that picture."

"picture?"

Everyone was puzzled for a while, and then ran to the official account of Xinshida.

But the official picture has not changed in any way, it still only has the simple two lines.

"Together with us, hand in hand to see a new world."

"Countdown: 30 days, 23 hours, 59 seconds."

Just two lines of words did not reveal too much information to everyone.

But soon, someone analyzed it.

"30 days, 23 hours and 59 seconds, that is almost a month, that is to say, after one month, there will be a new movie, or something to be announced."

"And this time point should have been the release time of "Frozen", that is to say, the new era is for this movie or this matter, so the release time of "Frozen" was brought forward, and even put it in the same "First Blood 2" at the same time period!"

"I feel that this new era seems to be in full swing. I'm looking forward to it."

"First, it was announced that we will be cooperating with Fox to shoot a new horror movie, and then the two movies will be released on the same schedule, and now the countdown begins again! Damn it! I feel that being born in this era is simply my greatest luck!"

"You guys say, after the countdown is over, what kind of movie will the New Era announce?"

Everyone immediately started discussing curiously again.

"I think it might be "The Matrix 3"! After all, I have been waiting for this for many years!"

"I think it may be "Jigsaw 8", or a restart of production, Director Ye's crown of the king of horror movies will never fall!"

"No matter what the movie is this time, it is definitely a very important movie to engage in such a big fight!"

……

This is naturally the pinnacle of 3D movies - "Avatar".

But at this time, everyone seems to have not connected this news with the news that Ye Heng replaced the cinema equipment a few years ago.

But this is also normal, after all, normal people who have nothing to do will link such distant news.

And the two lines in the picture:

"Together with us, hand in hand to see a new world."

"Countdown: 30 days, 23 hours, 59 seconds."

Needless to say, the following is a simple countdown.

As for the sentence above, "Together with us, we will see a new world hand in hand." There are two meanings.

The first layer refers to the Pandora planet that the hero enters in the movie.

And the second level of meaning refers to 3D technology, which allows people to see a brand new world, a brand new movie world!

He believes that after the release of "Avatar", this technology will definitely become a trend in the film industry immediately.

All film companies will start to follow this technology to make movies.

With the entry of many companies, this technology will develop extremely fast and mature.

It's gratifying, but also terrifying.

Because a long time ago, similar things happened in this world.

That's when black and white movies made their way into color movies.

People pay too much attention to the color of the film, but lose all its other beauties.

Now, Ye Heng has brought a new technology.

Then he must take on the mission of not letting this technology become a "wrong tool".

They want to let people know that even with powerful special effects, the story of the movie cannot be lost.

The story is the soul of the movie. Once the story is lost, the gorgeous special effects will become a tree floating on the ground.

Without rooting into the soil, it is still impossible to grow into a towering tree.

But when passing from an old era to a new era, people always discard certain things, or downplay them.

But sometimes people don't even know if it's the right thing to do.

They follow the tide of history, and then are swallowed up by it, becoming one with it.

Until something is completely lost, but they have no feeling.

Chapter 498 The quality is high enough

As the 31 countdown days slowly passed, the information about "Avatar" was gradually released bit by bit.

Compared with New Era and Ye Heng, the major theaters are actually more concerned about this matter.

Since the announcement of the news in the new era, the marketing has begun.

A few years ago, after Ye Heng showed them the 3D technology in "Avatar", they clearly realized that this would be an important development direction of the film market in the future.

Because of this, they followed Ye Heng's suggestion and replaced the playback equipment in the cinema so that it could support 3D playback.

But now, they are all looking forward to seeing "Avatar" show its talents and make them a lot of money, so naturally they began to promote it vigorously.

When there are still 10 countdown days, New Era officially released a trailer.

The trailer was only over a minute long, but the content inside attracted all the attention in an instant.

At the beginning of the trailer, a man is sitting in a movie theater, looking at the movie on the screen, looking lazy and stretching.

What was played in the movie seemed to be a chase between several giant beasts.

And at this moment, a pair of glasses with red and blue lenses suddenly fell in front of him.

He stretched out his hand, picked up his eyes, and looked them up and down.

Then he put it on curiously.

But at the moment when the glasses were put on, a terrifying monster suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was so frightened that he quickly backed away, the glasses slipped off his face, and the giant beast in front of him suddenly disappeared.

Other people in the cinema looked at him one after another, as if they were looking at a strange person.

He hurriedly sat back in embarrassment, recalling what happened just now, when his eyes fell on the pair of glasses again.

So curious, he picked up the glasses, thought for a while, and put them on again.

The moment he put on the glasses, those huge monsters and huge planes appeared in front of him again, as if he had entered a whole new world.

But when he took off his glasses, everything disappeared again, everything disappeared, and what was left was a quiet movie theater.

At this time, he seemed to have discovered something, a smile appeared on his face, he put on his glasses, leaned back, and entered the dream world.

Then the screen went black and a line of words appeared.

"3D movies, take you into the world of movies."

Not long after the video was released, the number of views immediately reached an astonishing 1 million+ times.

And this data is still rising. According to this speed, the number of playbacks on the entire network may exceed 10 billion in the first day alone.

At the same time, netizens also started a passionate discussion under the video.

"Damn! This trailer looks so cool! I can't wait!"

"3D movies seem to be a new technology. Director Ye made bullet time in "The Matrix" before. I don't know what the 3D movies are like this time?"

"Speaking of which, if it's a new technology, it should have the support of new equipment. I remember that director Ye did a big upgrade for his movie theater a few years ago. Could it have something to do with that?"

Seeing this, everyone immediately came back to their senses.

"After so many years, I almost forgot. After the movie theater was renovated, there was no news for a long time."

"And I went to the cinema several times later, and I didn't feel any changes while watching the movie. I thought it was fake news."

"However, it seems that if Director Ye was planning for today's 3D movies, everything would make sense!"

"Actually, after careful calculation, I feel that the time is about the same. At that time, there were rumors that Director Ye was shooting some large-scale sci-fi movie. However, Director Ye was making a lot of movies at that time, so this news was not noticed."

"And not long after that, Director Ye began to replace the cinema's equipment, presumably to prepare for the old man's movie release today!"

……

With the outbreak of various news, more and more people are discussing the concept of "3D movie".

And the new era is slowly starting to release more news about "Avatar".

On the eighth-to-last day, a 20-second picture of Pandora was released.

On the penultimate day, a few setting pictures were released.
