Chapter 979: The Details Take Precedence!
Saturday, April 14.
0:00 a.m.
Lu Xiaoping, vice president of Fanqi Media, took the person in charge of the publicity and distribution of "Angry Sea Battleship" to the cinema near the company on time.
This theater is a large theater even in the imperial capital, Lu Xiaoping also specially bought two tickets for the IMAX theater this time, the entire theater is two stories high, with a large screen and panoramic sound, to ensure that you can experience the best audio-visual effect.
"Mr. Lu, popcorn."
The person in charge of the publicity of "Battleship of the Angry Sea" held two large buckets of popcorn and handed one of them to Lu Xiaoping.
On the surface, he is full of smiles, but in fact, he secretly thinks MMP in his heart.
The person in charge is also quite wronged, it would have been a happy thing to be able to watch a zero movie, but it also depends on who he is with.
Watching a movie with my immediate boss doesn't feel right.
What's more, today he still worked overtime until after the early hours of the morning before coming from the company.
I've been working overtime for four or five hours, and this movie should be considered a business business strictly speaking, so the person in charge is very unhappy, and he doesn't have much mood to watch the movie, he just wants to go home quickly and get a good night's sleep.
But there is no way, he is just a high-level social animal, and it is no problem to be powerful when facing subordinates, but when he meets Lu Xiaoping, he can only be a grandson.
As for why this is so, it's a long story.
After hearing that "Mission and Choice" was raised, Lu Xiaoping felt that it was instigated by Tengda, and further deduced that the quality of this movie should not be good, so he deliberately invited some sailors to touch the porcelain.
Originally, everything was going well, and Tengda's side didn't fight back at the first time, which made Lu Xiaoping feel that he had pinched a soft persimmon, which was too comfortable to touch the porcelain, and even a little unstoppable.
But I never expected that two days before the movie was about to be released, the situation suddenly changed!
The posts on the Internet about "Mission and Choice" suddenly broke out, and netizens discussed it like they were in the middle of an evil spirit.
GOG has updated a new version, and the new hero "Skylark" has officially debuted, and her appearance and story background strongly hint at "Mission and Choice", which has sparked another wave of discussion!
I have to say that GOG's influence in China is huge, and this new hero simply added fuel to the fire as soon as it came out, making the early popularity of "Mission and Choice" instantly burn up!
Of course, this is only relatively speaking, hotter than ordinary movies, and it can't be compared with blockbusters that have invested a lot of publicity money.
But even that was enough to sell out the first day of Mission & Choice.
Although the scheduling rate of "Mission and Choice" is not high, this is enough to show the enthusiasm of the audience.
The previous series of events had made Lu Xiaoping quite inflated, but now he was a little panicked.
Therefore, Lu Xiaoping ordered the person in charge of the publicity of "Battleship of the Furious Sea" to work overtime with him until the early hours of the morning, and then watch the zero point field of "Mission and Choice".
is to finalize what the movie is like and whether it will really pose a serious threat to "Battleship of the Fury Sea".
Although Lu Xiaoping felt that this possibility was very small in his heart, after all, the schedule had been staggered, but he was not afraid of 10,000 in everything, just in case, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and he definitely wanted to take a look.
For ordinary people, tickets may be more difficult to get, but for Lu Xiaoping, this is definitely not a problem.
Lu Xiaoping had a serious expression and waited for the movie to begin.
He saw the discussion on the Internet, and some people said that "Mission and Choice" was not promoted because he was afraid of "Battleship of the Angry Sea", but because it was related to "Fantasy War Remastered".
Although Lu Xiaoping himself does not agree with this statement, he has to admit that there is indeed such a possibility.
He began to vaguely realize that it seemed that Tengda's side had not given up resistance, but was brewing something terrible......
As for the person in charge of the publicity and distribution of "Battleship of the Angry Sea", he just worked a night shift, and the whole person was yawning, and now he can't keep up his energy at all, and just wants to go home and sleep.
Why didn't Lu Xiaoping sleep?
Because as the vice president of the company, he has a special car to pick him up when he goes out, and there is a special lounge in the office, so he can sleep at any time.
Many bosses brag that they work more than ten hours a day and only sleep four or five hours, so as to give their employees chicken blood and draw cakes, trying to prove that they become the boss because of their hard work, and you can become the boss if you work hard.
In short, the two men fell silent for different reasons, occasionally eating two bites of popcorn and watching the warm-up advertisements playing on the big screen.
The audience has already entered, and the IMAX hall is already full.
"Mission and Choice" did not arrange a premiere, nor did it arrange a screening, and Tengda's secrecy work is ridiculously good, so so far there has been no spoiler news on the Internet.
The audience in the movie theater was talking in a low voice, and Lu Xiaoping didn't deliberately listen, but he still roughly determined the source of these people from the conversations of the audience around him.
Some are iron fans who are far away from the road, specially for the distance of the road;
Some are die-hard fans of Tengda games, and they are also loyal supporters of domestic games, because "Mission and Choice" is a "shame of national travel", so they specially came to see how Tengda filmed;
Some couples originally wanted to pick a random movie to watch and spend the night outside, but today's schedule is more rubbish, there are no too good movies, I heard that this movie was shot by the original crew of "Beautiful Tomorrow", and the quality should be guaranteed, so I decided to book tickets to watch it......
In short, the sources of the audience are varied.
Lu Xiaoping feels a little bad, because this situation means that the audience of "Mission and Choice" is relatively diverse.
If the audience group is relatively single, for example, the vast majority of them are fans of the road, then the stamina of the movie may be relatively insufficient, after all, there are so many iron fans, if you can't break the circle after watching them, then the follow-up box office will definitely plummet.
And the diversity of the audience group means that the probability of this film breaking the circle will be greater!
Of course, the key depends on the quality of the movie itself.
Soon, the lights in the screening room gradually dimmed.
On the big screen, after a large number of logos, the movie officially began, and the movie theater quickly fell silent.
As soon as the movie opens, it is the scene where Qin Yi wakes up in a dormant chamber, talks to AEEIS and becomes the new commander.
For players who have played the Sea Fortress DLC, this beginning is actually very easy to understand, as it is tied to the content of the DLC.
And for those viewers who haven't played it, it actually doesn't affect it, because this scene at the beginning is interspersed with some Qin Yi's memory fragments, mainly the previous decapitation operation in the insect nest and the death of teammates.
Although these images are fragmented and short-lived, they are enough for the audience to understand the synopsis without being confused.
Moreover, as the plot of the movie progresses, at some key nodes, such as the "Realistic Training", when performing tasks, some memories of the "decapitation operation" will be interspersed again, although the time is not long, but it is enough to ensure the integrity of the entire story.
While Qin Yi took over the console and was familiar with the operation, the audience also saw the simulated image of the United Fleet's first encounter with the Zerg with him, and learned the background of this story through AEEIS's explanation.
……
Lu Xiaoping stuffed a handful of popcorn into his mouth, and the light of the big screen shone on his face, and the light and darkness changed rapidly, reflecting his slightly sluggish expression.
He was stunned by the cool scenes of the movie!
In the past, domestic science fiction movies were often perfunctory and unsophisticated. For example, the costumes of the characters, the furnishings in the capsule, the electronic equipment, etc., will obviously see the traces of being very cheap and patchwork, which is very unobtrusive.
This is partly due to financial problems, on the other hand, to capacity problems, but more importantly to attitudinal problems.
Because the directors of many domestic sci-fi films do not pay enough attention to these details, they just want a set with a "sci-fi feeling", and the focus is all on other aspects, such as how to change the script according to the requirements of the management.
If the attitude is not enough, it is impossible to do these details well.
But Mission and Choice is a different story.
You don't even have to look closely at these details, you can clearly feel them with a slight sweep!
The IMAX large screen presents all kinds of details in front of the audience, including the spacesuit worn by Qin Yi, the sleeping compartment that he has slept on, the commander's console, etc., it seems that it is indeed a product of future technology, and there is a strong sense of reality!
Of course, a very important reason why this level can be achieved is that there is only one real scene in this movie.
With just such things to be used back and forth, Zhu Xiaoce can naturally spend a lot of money, repeatedly modify, repeatedly design, keep improving, and achieve the most perfect situation.
But players don't know this, they just saw a realism at the beginning of the movie to kill all other domestic sci-fi movies in the capsule scene, everything in it is impressive, this kind of shock is incomparable to other theme movies, can make the audience quickly enter the state!
What's even cooler is the picture displayed on the bulkhead around Qin Yi when he uses the console.
According to the plot setting, the moment Qin Yi sat down, the surrounding bulkheads would be covered by holographic image technology, and he was like being in an endless starry sky, looking at it from any direction, it was as if he had seen a real scene in the universe.
Moreover, Qin Yi can also use the console to constantly change the perspective, whether it is moving, zooming or jumping, the surrounding scene will change in real time.
In traditional films, the actual picture of the commander and the battlefield is separated, and can only be shown by cutting the lens, and there will be some slight sense of separation.
In "Mission and Choice", the behavior of the commander and the actual picture of the battlefield are fused, Qin Yi is like a ghost shuttling through the endless starry sky and directing the battle, which not only makes the whole picture more smooth and coherent, but also more visually impactful.
In fact, when filming, there were green screens all around, and the fierce battles in space were all made of special effects.
But after all, a huge amount of money has been invested in special effects, and compared to using special effects to make a human being, using special effects to make a spaceship will appear more realistic, so the special effects and exquisite sets are perfectly combined, making the audience feel as if they are really in it!
For science fiction movies, the most terrible adjective is "fake".
Once the scene or details make the audience feel fake, then even if there is a good story, the audience will not be able to see it.
And "Mission and Choice", whether it is real life or special effects, has achieved the ultimate realism, so it has a preemptive effect at the beginning and shocked all the audience!
Lu Xiaoping realized that something was wrong with the situation, and his originally indifferent expression had become stiff.
On the contrary, the person in charge of "Battleship of the Angry Sea" was originally drowsy, and he instantly woke up when he saw this beginning!
