Chapter 221 Popularization of 3D and Online Ticket Purchases

Chapter 221 Popularization of 3D and Online Ticket Purchases (3, 6400 for both bookings, ask for monthly tickets!)
After 5 minutes were over, Han Sanping took off his glasses, feeling so f*ckingly enjoyable, is this thing so real!
Ye Ning asked the tearing onion on the side, "Are the 3D movies you watched abroad so real?"

"It's far worse!" Wang Sicong shook his head, "I mean, foreign ones are far worse than this one!"

The other bigwigs from the theaters also started whispering. In just 5 minutes, they were too shocked.

The 2D version just now was already amazing, but now the 3D has brought the level of astonishment to a new level, which is an experience they have never had before. If all the movies shown in theaters are this kind of movie, why worry about the audience not going to the movie theater!

"Can you play it again, I haven't seen enough!"

At this time, a girl's voice came from the back of the theater. It was Yang Mi who stood up and spoke out everyone's feelings.

Wang Quan smiled, "Yes, but before that, do you have any questions?"

Xu Yongan from Hengdian Group stood up, "I was really shocked just now, I want to ask what is the relationship between "Inception" and this short film?"

Wang Quan, "This "Gravity 3D" is a practice work I made for shooting "Inception". It is used to master the shooting skills of 3D stereoscopic movies. It has nothing to do with the content. After all, 3D movies are also very important to me It’s a brand new attempt, and I didn’t know what to do before shooting.”

I heard that this is just a practice work, and the audience heatedly discussed again, you are making it very difficult for your domestic counterparts.

Ye Ning from Wanda Cinemas asked, "What is the cost of this short film?"

"If you don't count the actor's cost, it's almost [-] million yuan." Wang Quan said without blushing without panting.

Everyone was shocked again, no wonder Wang Quan spent [-] million dollars to shoot "Inception". This kind of extravagant gameplay is really not suitable for the mainland. This shit really only Hollywood can play.

Indeed, 3D costs a lot more than normal movies. Wang Quan has also seen some so-called 3D movies in China, many of which are only 3D with subtitles, and most of them are converted through software. The old monster's "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate".

After answering some of everyone's doubts, the short film was played again, and Yang Mi stretched out her hand and sighed, "It turns out that 3D movies are so amazing!"

Concubine Liu Yi took the opportunity to show off, "Mimi, do you know how 3D movies are shot? In fact, two cameras are needed to simulate people's left and right eyes when shooting..."

Yang Mi was depressed, it was obvious, right? If Brother Quan hadn't told you, would you have known!
Yu Feihong in the back was all smiles, she could see the irritability in Yang Mi's heart just by looking at the back of her head, but Liu Yifei couldn't see it when she was next to her.

After the film was shown, Wang Quan said, "At present, there is no company in China that specializes in the production of 3D projection equipment. It just so happens that Dawang Cinema Line needs to purchase a batch. Everyone can come together and form a group to buy. I believe that as long as the quantity is large enough, the unit price can be lowered." In this regard, you can contact Manager Ruan."

Manager Ruan stood up and gestured.

Wang Quan said again, "In addition, "Gravity 3D" also has a 2-minute version. As long as there are theaters with 3D theaters, you can sign up to make a copy from Manager Ruan. You can play it in your own theater for free. .”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone understood that this was an advertisement for King Quan himself, and it was also an advertisement for a promising model like 3D. I believe that every audience who has watched this short film will be very impressed by King Quan’s future film "Inception". Space" is full of expectations and has become a potential audience.

It took only 15 minutes to play the short film three times, plus the speeches before and after, and the total time was only one hour, but this hour was an important turning point for domestic movie theaters.

Almost all participants had an idea after watching "Gravity", that is, they must equip their theaters with 3D projection equipment!

At this time, there are only seven theaters in the country, with more than 60 3D theaters. If Wang Quan's "Inception" can be as amazing as this "Gravity", wouldn't they have made all the money!
I believe that after this year, it will not be a problem for 3D screening halls to exceed [-].

General theater managers are only thinking about adding 3D projection equipment, while ambitious ones are already planning IMAX giant screens, such as Wanda’s Ye Ning. He believes that with the increase in national income, more people should be interested in high-quality Pay for the viewing experience.

It may be very troublesome to renovate existing theaters, but Wanda has been building new theaters. The Wanda Cinemas in Dongguan is about to start construction recently, and it can be used as a pilot.

Han Sanping was also thinking about it, thinking about discussing with the theaters under China Film Group, to see if they have the budget to renovate and install IMAX giant screens.

"Red Cliff" is about to wrap up, and it will be released next year. If this kind of blockbuster is paired with this kind of giant screen, the effect will definitely be more outstanding, and it will also attract more audiences!
Wang Quan has really brought a breath of fresh air to the mainland film market. He reminded him in time. He used to only think about attracting audiences and box office through blockbuster movies, so why didn't he think of using higher-quality screening halls as a trick!

For this kind of giant screen hall, the ticket price should be twice as high as that of ordinary halls, it should not be too much!
Next, Wang Quan still has no time to accompany Yang Mi and the others, and he still has something to talk to Han Sanping.

They found a furnished office, Wang Quan, Han Sanping, Lao Wang, Shi Nansheng, just the four of them.

Han Sanping grinned from ear to ear, and praised the short film brought back by Wang Quan, saying that his new work will definitely be famous in film history, and then asked, "Say, how about making this film a Sino-US co-production? If you can enjoy the treatment of domestic films, I think you can even get 40% of the box office share!"

If it is co-produced by China and the United States, then half of the film's credit will belong to China Film Group.

However, he obviously thought too much. Co-productions need to meet three basic conditions. One is that the Chinese side invests no less than one-third of the investment;

Let’s say one-third of the funds, that’s 1000 million knives. China Film Group really doesn’t have that strength. Even if China Film Group leads “Red Cliff”, most of the funds are actually overseas (mainly neon), and China Film Group also paid [-] yuan. More than ten thousand knives, this is enough to make Han Sanping wish to go to the Chibi crew every week.

Even if there is no [-] million dollars, with a [-]% discount, Han Sanping, the boss, will be under a lot of pressure, and his career will be over if he makes a mistake.

Moreover, the royal power of the main actor cannot be compromised, and his list of starring roles has already been determined.

After that, there was a movie called "Iron Man 3" that wanted to enter the mainland as a co-production film with Chinese actors, but it failed in the end.

After dispelling Mr. Han's unrealistic idea, Wang Quan said something practical, "If China Film Group is willing, I can share the investment share of 3000 million US dollars, and China Film Group can enjoy an equal proportion of the global box office share and get the part of the mainland. Copyright, in addition, as a partner, I allow China Film to send three young directors to the crew to study for free, and I promise not to hide anything."

3000 million knives is one-tenth of the investment ratio. Although only the box office share and some copyrights in the mainland, Wang Quan's "Twilight Saga" can sell [-] million worldwide. This "Inception" is not even [-] million. [-] million, there is something to earn!
The key is to train newcomers. By then, newcomers will be able to make such blockbuster films, which is a great thing for the film industry.

However, Han Sanping has other requirements, "The producer column..."

Wang Quan, "Naturally there will be Mr. Han's name."

Han Sanping smiled with satisfaction, "I hope I can add two managers to the crew, don't worry, don't get involved, just study."

He felt that he should not only learn Hollywood's shooting techniques, but also learn the other party's advanced management experience. The country lacks not only good directors, but also excellent production talents.

This request is very reasonable, and the kingship has also met it.

Shi Nansheng was eager to try, but he didn't make a sound, just listening silently.

Later, Wang Quan mentioned the issue of cinema networking. Now there are nearly 1500 cinemas in the country, and less than four-fifths of them are connected to the internet. .

There is a lot of room for manipulation here. Before Twilight was released, Pharaoh had asked someone to investigate the lower-level market. Many of the tickets were handwritten. It is hard to say who pocketed the ticket money in the end.

Wang Quan hopes that China Film, as the leader in the industry, can continue to promote the normalization of theaters across the country and solve the problem of underreporting and concealment.

"Twilight will be released in the summer of 09, and we will refuse to provide copies to irregular theaters that cannot connect to the Internet."

Han Sanping, "Don't worry, we have been advancing this matter. The Internet connection rate was less than 70% before. Isn't this going up all the time?"

And by buying more tickets, China Film can earn more.

After seeing off the complacent Han Sanping, Wang Quan looked at Shi Nansheng, "Does Mr. Shi have anything to say?"

Shi Nansheng said embarrassedly, "Actually, I want to say, can I bring a copy back to Xiangjiang, I want Xu Ke to take a look."

Wang Quan smiled and said, "Of course, Director Xu is also welcome to come to our crew to guide the work when he is free."

Shi Nansheng felt that she was seen through by Wang Quan. In fact, she just thought that the master would like the special effects of this kind of 3D movie. I am afraid that after watching "Gravity 3D", she would also want to pester Wang Quan to learn. Unexpectedly, Wang Quan brought it up first.

Wang Quan is leaving tomorrow, and he needs to meet someone before he leaves.

"Brother Peng, here."

"Second uncle, Quan'er!"

Wearing a plaid shirt, Zhou Peng walked into the private room with a computer bag on his back. There were also Shi Nansheng and Manager Ruan inside.

"How is Brother Peng doing in the company?" Wang Quan asked.

Zhou Peng scratched his head, "Oh, Zhang Yiyi from our class resigned and went to Microsoft, so I don't have much fun doing it."

Wang Quan's face showed joy, and he thought it would take some talking.

Wang Qiankun patted his nephew's shoulder with a smile, "Since you're not happy doing it, why not come to Second Uncle to do it!"

"Huh? I don't understand movies either."

Wang Quan, "Actually, it's not my dad. I want to set up a new company, and I want to ask brother Peng to come out and help."

"Hey, Quan'er, I'm even embarrassed to say that. What am I, but what is the new company you're talking about doing? It's about the Internet?"

Wang Quan, "That's it. I hope you can help me build a website that will be bound to the ticketing systems of Dawang Cinemas and Golden Harvest Cinemas. You can lock seats online and pay in advance to buy tickets. It's a kind of specialized online shopping. "

Now that the concept of online shopping is becoming more and more popular, Zhou Peng knows that this is the trend. He also likes to buy books on Dangdang, buy goods on JD.com, and buy plaid shirts on Taobao.

Guevara, the pioneer of online movie ticket sales, won’t be established until next year, and Wang Quan doesn’t know him either. Maoyan is what he sees most in future film and television works, and he told Zhou Peng according to the operation method of Maoyan, but mobile phones are not yet smart. , can be based on the computer terminal, and then develop a Symbian system mobile phone software as an auxiliary.

Zhou Peng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This is a great idea, and it will be much more convenient to buy tickets in the future."

Wang Qiankun said with a smile, "Shouldn't it be called Dawang Ticketing Network?"

Wang Quan shook his head, "This website is not prepared for Dawang or Golden Harvest. I plan to cooperate with movie theaters across the country. At that time, audiences across the country can buy tickets in advance without leaving home, and their willingness to watch movies will be greatly increased."

It can even cooperate with concerts, cross talk theaters, etc., as long as it is ticketing, it can get involved!
Uh, forget about the train ticket.

The next day, Zhou Peng submitted his resignation just like his good brother. When Zhang Yiyi heard that Zhou Peng had resigned to start a business, he was deeply touched. Unexpectedly, Zhou Peng, who had always been conservative, would come before him. ah!
Wang Quan also left, waving his sleeves, but did not take a cloud away, but some people were very sad to hear that he had gone.

At this time last year, Wang Quan was a teacher at Nortel. In that master class, there was a student named Yang Qing who graduated from Chuanyin and was admitted to the director department of the Adult Education Academy of Chinese Opera.

After listening to King Quan's class, he began to devote himself to writing scripts. Inspired by "Number [-] Cloverfield Lane" and a certain Kimchi Country movie, he decided to compress the story into a very small space and tell it with very few actors. a story.

The name of the story is "Supermarket", and it tells the story of two people robbing a supermarket late at night.

Now that the story is finished, he heard that Director Wang has also returned to China, so he immediately went to Wangdao Films to find Wang Quan. He felt that it would be more polite to ask for advice in person.

As a result, Chen Chuling told him that Director Wang's plane this morning had just flown to Los Angeles.

Yang Qing said that the sky will not help me, so it seems that I can only send an email.

At this time, Yang Mi who was in Chen Chuling's office said, "What script, can I read it?"

Yang Qing knew that Yang Mi was Director Wang's childhood sweetheart, and he also opened a film and television company. He was one of the few in the circle who became his own boss.

He nodded, Yang Mi took it over, supermarket?This name sounds very catchy, even if you add "crazy".

However, after watching it, Yang Mi's expression changed slightly. There is something about this script!
She was still tense at the beginning, but the more she looked at it, the more fun she became, until she couldn't help laughing out loud.

This script is okay, although it does not have the exquisite multi-line narrative of "Crazy Stone", but a lot of baggage can also echo back and forth, which is quite memorable.

The key point is that the whole movie was completed in a supermarket, how small the cost is!
It took more than an hour to briefly read it, and Yang Mi rolled her eyes, "Director Yang, do you mind coming out and we can chat alone?"

Chen Chuling patted the table with a "bang", "Yang Mi, put down our company's script for me!"
