Chapter 383 Leading the Golden Time in October (Earth)

"He Comes From Heaven" led the mainland box office in October.

The box office of 10 billion yuan is about 1.3 million U.S. dollars. This box office scale is only slightly inferior to that of North America. Of course, it is much worse than the box office scale of last year’s eleventh prime time, because the overall film quality and box office results are not as good as last year.

The cost of "He Comes From Heaven" has become a hot topic of media speculation. Since Xiao Lizi, Long Ma, and Wesley have all stated that they have not received a second payment, this movie is just an inflorescence shot when the studio caught fire. Movies, so apart from its huge special effects, there is no cost.

As we all know, although special effects are currently the most expensive part of the film industry, when it comes to unit costs, the money spent on it is far less than actors' salaries.

For example, the salary of actors in "Spawn" is about 5000 million U.S. dollars, and the special effects will not exceed 3000 million U.S. dollars. This is the premise that fantasy hero movies require a lot of CG scenes.

Hollywood has a set of estimation models for the cost of movie special effects. The cost of one minute of top-level CG animation is about 1 million US dollars. During the filming of "Spawn", due to the large-scale application of artificial intelligence such as ChatGAP in modeling and rendering, the cost has further decreased. Special effects only cost $100 to $50 per minute.

In short, if it is estimated that the special effects cost of "He Comes From Heaven" will not exceed 2000 million U.S. dollars, this may be its entire cost. Instead of obtaining a box office that will eventually exceed 6 million U.S. dollars, it has doubled by 30 times. Another business miracle.

In the current Hollywood movie catalog, the movies with the lowest box office cost and the highest profit for the production company are almost all under the name of Cullen House. Get Out), cost 900 million, box office 2.72 million.

So the media lamented "He Came From Heaven", and at the same time took out Jason Cullen and whipped him.

THR said: "Obviously, Jason Cullen's instincts told him that Spawn was going to make a lot of money, but his sanity stopped him. Would he beat his sanity? Ron Musk’s investing wife? That’s a metaphor, Jason Cullen didn’t have a chance to invest in Elon Musk, but he had a chance to invest in Spawn.”

Jason Cullen was very angry about being ridiculed by the media every now and then. He said on METE: "I didn't even know there was this movie! CH hid it!"

In this regard, the official METE account of "He Came From Heaven" released a video inflorescence. In the video, Jason Cullen played a cameo as a visiting alien. He looked ridiculous in a green motion capture suit, and the final presentation was A Jedi-like warrior, set as an alien, apparently to circumvent Star Wars copyright issues.

So everyone is understanding that the alien in the movie was played by Jason Cullen, and secondly, how could it be possible not to know that this is a movie, and you have acted in it!
A more reasonable explanation is that Jason Cullen didn't take this "Spawn" spinoff movie seriously, thinking it was just an insignificant inflorescence and a joke, and he didn't think about it at all. In the extreme case of "died prematurely", "He Comes From Heaven" can carry the banner of box office revenue.

So, what kind of movie is He From Heaven?
……

The [-]th Golden Week in the mainland has passed.

The passenger flow of Guanhua Film City in the capital has dropped significantly.

This November, "Supernova Era" has become the first choice for children to watch movies, followed by "He Came From Earth". The former is very childlike because most of the characters are played by children, and the latter is because it is composed of a large number of special effects. , which looks like a cartoon.

While replying to the message in WeChat, Lu Di picked up the ticket at the counter.

"I'm a member, and I've booked a ticket for "He Came From Heaven."

As a social fear, the tickets are booked long ago, and pretending to be busy can reduce contact with the staff. If it is not a member who has to pick up tickets at the counter, he will not have to suffer.

In Ludi’s WeChat list, there are a few TRPG fans who are very active online but in reality are all ostriches. They are currently scattered in movie theaters in various cities across the country. They have made an appointment to watch movies together, but they are not in the same one. Cinema, just at the same time, that's TRPG romance.

TRPG, also known as running group, is to take adventures on paper under the leadership of GM through hero role cards and dice. It emerged in the 20s, and has been tenaciously existing as a niche hobby of specific groups of people since then.

As a result of TRPG filmization, there are two films, namely the first and second parts of "James of the Brave". The movie is very similar to Jumanji.

Of course, some people think it's like [-] Angry Men or something.

"It's started." Lu Di said in the WeChat group.

"I haven't started yet, don't spoil it, whoever spoils the curse will be torn off every day."

A tear card is when a character dies.

Lu Di replied with a smiling expression, and put away his phone. Although the movie screens were full of advertisements, social terrorists are very sensitive to social order, and Lu Di worried that it would affect other people's movie-watching experience.

A full 5 minutes of commercials finally passed.

Light and shadow belonging to another world appeared on the movie screen.

Lu Di changed his posture and began to appreciate this legendary movie that spent a lot of money on special effects, and it is the "love in dreams" movie for all TRPG lovers.

……

The movie opens with a pipe.

Then the pipe was stuffed with tobacco and lit.

The picture is expanded to include the face and half of the person holding a pipe.

This kind of shooting method is very textured. Only superb photography and camera technology can make simple scenes attractive.

Little Lizi... the audience will whisper in their hearts at this moment.

Some people say that this movie is a fan-oriented movie. Indeed, from the very beginning, it knew what would capture the audience's heart the most. Of course, it was Xiao Lizi's face that was no longer youthful and handsome but still charming.

"I always think that nothing exists after death, but you said that there is another world." Xiao Lizi took a puff of his pipe, and then his eyes fixed on it. The audience saw that a hand was writing, and that hand wrote " Paradise" two words.

The characters are in Chinese, and this is a special version for the mainland version. If it goes to North America and Europe, it will be converted into the local language. Other parts of the movie, such as mythology, also have special versions for each country.

For example, in the British version, Long Ma will speak more and the role will become more important.

Anyway, Feng Zikai took nearly 40 hours of material, from which he can produce a lot of "localized" characteristics to please the local audience.

At this time, the title of the movie version appears:
He is from heaven.
