Super Copy of Great Power Technology

The applause subsided, the discussion gradually died down, the lights illuminated the stage in front, and director Guo Fan, leading a group of main creators, appeared in front of everyone again.

"The movie is over. What do you think of it?" Director Guo asked loudly while holding the microphone.

"Good!" "Great!" "This is the best science fiction I have ever seen"...

The audience's answers were a bit mixed, but most of them were positive. After hearing this, Director Guo smiled confidently and said, "To be honest, I was particularly anxious these days before the premiere. This is the first time for me as a director to operate such a large film project, and the investment alone is over 300 million. It's really stressful. What if the audience doesn't buy it, the box office is high, and the investors won't blacklist me. Fortunately, everyone's viewing feedback tells me that everyone still recognizes this science fiction work I shot. Next, it depends on the market feedback. I hope that the audience will continue to come and the box office will continue to be strong."

Next, Director Guo shared many behind-the-scenes footage of the filming. For example, the exoskeleton armor used as movie props is actually real stuff. Ordinary people can run and jump when wearing it, and can become superhuman. The props team also made a 1:1 simulation of the heavy industrial transport vehicle in the movie, so many of the seemingly special effects in the movie are actually real shots. Including many scenes of weightlessness in space in the movie, they were also shot by taking a space shuttle into space. Of course, many of these high-tech props were made with the technical support provided by Ruida Group.

Another example is that during the filming, Uncle Tat was in poor physical condition and exhausted, but he insisted on filming while breathing oxygen. His professionalism is really moving. As the golden supporting actor in Stephen Chow's movies, Uncle Tat has brought so much joy to everyone. Especially the young people of the generation of Qiao Ruida, almost grew up watching the movies of Stephen Chow and Uncle Tat. Now Qiao Ruida and his generation have grown up, and the golden generation of Hong Kong filmmakers represented by Uncle Tat are gradually getting old, changing careers, retiring, and getting sick. Only a limited number of people such as Andy Lau and Uncle Tat are still active on the big screen. Even Stephen Chow has gradually moved behind the scenes and become a director, which is really sigh-worthy. Speaking of which, the movie "The Mermaid", which was also released during the Chinese New Year this year and competed head-on with "The Wandering Earth", was directed by Stephen Chow. The two box office blockbusters from different periods of the previous life became direct competitors because of Qiao Ruida's intrusion and the accidental collision. It is still unknown who will win.

Towards the end of the premiere, Director Guo invited Mr. Liu Huan to the stage to perform the theme song of the movie "The Wandering Earth" "Wandering with the Earth", which won applause from the audience.

Half an hour later, the premiere came to an end amid laughter. Director Guo Fan personally escorted Qiao Ruida and his group out of the theater. He watched the flying car they were riding soar into the sky and disappear into the distant night sky before he looked away.

"Huh, the premiere is finally over. Judging from the feedback from the audience, the effect is pretty good. I hope these film critics can give our film some good reviews and attract more audiences to the theater to watch it."

"Don't worry, Director Guo. I've said it before, our movie is not bad. After seeing the finished film, I am even more convinced of this judgment." Wu Jing, who had just seen off another wave of bigwigs, came over and comforted Guo Fan.

"Well, I also think that this movie is not bad, but I feel uneasy until I see the box office data for a day. Brother Jing, the premiere is over, go home and have a rest early. We will meet at the airport at 8 o'clock tomorrow and start the roadshow."

Thinking of the painful experience of roadshows in the past, Wu Jing could not help but complain: "It's Chinese New Year, not only can I not go back home to spend the New Year with my wife and children, but I have to travel around the country to do roadshows. I am such a miserable person!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Jing. After the movie is released, if the box office performance is good, I will give you a big red envelope. In a few days, Director Zhou's "The Mermaid" will be released. It will be a strong opponent, and we can't be careless at all."

Back at the courtyard, it was already very late, and everyone washed up and went to bed. Qiao Ruida lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a while, picked up his phone, and looked through the comments of "The Wandering Earth". "The Wandering Earth" has been released for a while, and the first and second waves of moviegoers have already watched the movie. On Douban, the score of "The Wandering Earth" has just been released, as high as 9.4 points. This score, placed in a number of domestic films, is amazing. Of course, there are relatively few viewers now, and there are also few people who give scores. As more people give scores in the future, the score will decline to a certain extent. Looking at the comment area again, there are already hundreds of film reviews, and most of them are long reviews.

"In terms of plot, The Wandering Earth is adapted from Liu Cixin's novel of the same name. The sci-fi setting is grand and novel, the plot is compact and the conflicts are intense, which can attract the audience's attention very well. At the same time, the scene design in the movie is very spectacular, and the special effects are also very good, presenting a shocking sci-fi world to the audience."

"Some plots lack logic, and some characters' behavior seems unreasonable. The rebels, who were emphasized in the original novel, did not officially appear. Can you believe it?" "I also like this movie very much. I feel the scenes are very shocking."

"I've watched two holographic movies before, and I always felt that the 3D scenes were a bit fake, and it was better to watch the regular version. After watching The Wandering Earth, I realized how exciting a native holographic movie is and how explosive the visual effects are. The two so-called holographic movies I watched before were probably converted from 3D movies or even regular movies. They were pure money-making works, so it's understandable that the visual effects were not good, and it has nothing to do with the equipment itself."

"My girlfriend and I watched The Wandering Earth together. Before entering the theater, we bought a lot of popcorn and drinks, but we didn't use them at all. The plot was so exciting and the pictures were so attractive that we completely forgot to eat the popcorn and drink the drinks."

"The movie is so exciting, I couldn't watch it once enough, I wanted to watch it again. I checked the ticket purchasing app and found that all the movie tickets for the next few days are sold out. So, is this movie so popular?"

"I heard from a friend who works at Wanda Cinema that in order to combat piracy, The Wandering Earth will only be released in 3D holographic version. Medium-sized 3D holographic projectors are expensive, and there are strict requirements for the venue. There are very few theaters in major theaters across the country that have installed 3D holographic projectors, so it is normal that you can't buy tickets. The producers will release the 3D and regular versions one week later, and then buying tickets for a second viewing will not be a problem."

"For those who haven't watched The Wandering Earth yet, I still recommend that you choose the holographic version. This is the first native holographic movie shot entirely with a holographic camera, including post-production special effects, full 3D modeling, and 3D scene rendering. It is presented using a medium-sized 3D holographic projector, like a complete movie world that slowly unfolds in front of you, with scenes, props, and characters that are just like the real thing. It is completely different from the so-called 3D movies of the past."

Nothing happened overnight. The next day, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" on its first day of release was announced, reaching an astonishing 3200 million, ranking second on the box office list of the day, second only to "Detective Chinatown" with 5600 million. You should know that "The Wandering Earth" was released at 3 pm, and the full screening time before midnight was only four hours, with at most two screenings. Moreover, "The Wandering Earth" is currently only showing the 3200D holographic version, and the number of screens is very small, only about a few hundred. "The Wandering Earth" was able to achieve a box office result of 90 million on its first day of release, which means that the film's attendance rate is at least over %, which is very rare for a domestic science fiction film.

More importantly, The Wandering Earth received very good reviews online, gradually forming a word-of-mouth effect, attracting more people to buy tickets to watch the movie. Overnight, The Wandering Earth's Douban score is still above 9 points, and the number of people who have rated it has exceeded , which has a certain degree of credibility. The number of comments has also exceeded , and the popularity is unprecedented.

In the next two days, "The Wandering Earth" continued to advance triumphantly, with box office revenues of 1.3 million and 1.5 million, firmly occupying the top spot on the box office chart. "The Wandering Earth" received rave reviews and word of mouth, but tickets were hard to come by. Many netizens responded online that tickets for "The Wandering Earth" were not available at all, not even for the midnight show. Obviously, 1.5 million is not the limit for "The Wandering Earth", but the limit for the number of holographic theaters. Now it's the turn of theater owners and managers to get restless. Such a popular movie, so many moviegoers, are limited by the insufficient number of holographic theaters and cannot be received. How can they not be anxious? Isn't it just a medium-sized 3D holographic projector? The price is not particularly expensive, just spend money to buy it. Medium-sized 3D holographic projectors are projection equipment, one-time investment, long-term benefits. Judging from the current trend in the film and television industry, more and more films are shot with 3D holographic cameras. In two years, native holographic movies will inevitably show a blowout trend. It is definitely worthwhile to invest in medium-sized 3D holographic projectors in advance and renovate some theaters. Not to mention the distant past, the currently popular "The Wandering Earth" has attracted a wave of movie-watching craze with its good word-of-mouth effect, with at least tens of millions of potential viewers. With so many theaters across the country, whoever can get a large number of medium-sized holographic projectors first and install them first can catch the wave of wealth brought by "The Wandering Earth". If it is operated well, it is not impossible to recover the cost within a month.

The year is coming to an end, and the employees of Reda Technology Company are already very busy. Now a large number of people have come to contact and order medium-sized holographic projectors. They are all very arrogant and ask how much inventory you have. My XX company has it all. It's as if medium-sized 3D holographic projectors are cabbages and can be purchased in bulk by kilograms. Since the 3D holographic projector was released on the market, the production line has been running at full capacity. Among them, small 3D holographic projectors are relatively cheap and have almost become a substitute for televisions and projectors. Sales are good, and they sell as many as they are produced, with little inventory. Large 3D holographic projectors have been bought out by the military. As soon as a batch is produced, they will be taken away, and no one knows where they are used.

There are only medium-sized 3D holographic projectors, which cost several million yuan. Ordinary home users cannot afford them, nor do they need to. Large shopping malls and performing arts venues only need to buy one or two medium-sized 3D holographic projectors to decorate their facades, and they will not purchase them on a large scale. The cinema market, which was most expected, has sales far below expectations due to the scarcity of holographic film sources. So after the medium-sized 3D holographic projectors were launched, there was a small outbreak, and then they became quiet two months later. A large number of medium-sized 3D holographic projectors were unsalable and had to be stored in warehouses to collect dust. The sales department of Ruida Technology reported this situation and intentionally reduced the production of medium-sized 3D holographic projectors. After discussing with Qiao Ruida, Zhao Hongcai rejected the request of the sales department. After analysis, they believed that the setback in sales of medium-sized 3D holographic projectors was only a temporary phenomenon caused by the scarcity of holographic sources and the inability of holographic movies converted from ordinary films to exert the full strength of medium-sized holographic projectors. When the holographic movies in which Ruida Group has participated in investing are released on a large scale, the sales volume of medium-sized 3D holographic projectors will see a second boom.

Now that "The Wandering Earth" is released, it has triggered a movie-watching craze with its touching storyline, excellent special effects, and amazing reputation. The sales of medium-sized 3D holographic projectors have indeed skyrocketed. On the second day of the release of "The Wandering Earth", 3 medium-sized 300D holographic projectors were sold. On the third day, 500 were sold. On the fourth day, more theater owners responded and joined the rush to buy medium-sized 3D holographic projectors, selling 3 units in just one day. A large number of medium-sized 3D holographic projectors in stock were pulled out of the warehouse, inspected and repaired, and then repackaged and handed over to the courier company for urgent delivery to all parts of the country. Countless theater owners are looking forward to the arrival of medium-sized D holographic projectors. The earlier the equipment is installed, the earlier "The Wandering Earth" can be screened, and the army of money grabbers can be joined. Some theater owners who can't wait for the delivery of the courier company even drove directly and traveled thousands of miles to the storage center leased by Ruida Technology to pick up the goods on the spot. These people are really fighting hard to make money.

The sales of medium-sized 3D holographic projectors, which were originally overstocked products, have soared and are in short supply. Some employees in the sales and warehousing departments of Reda Technology Company are both happy and sad. The pain is that the New Year holiday is gone. Others go home to celebrate the New Year with their families, but they have to work overtime at their jobs to confirm orders, pack and ship, which is quite miserable. The happiness is that they can get five times the salary for working overtime during the New Year, plus the sales commission of medium-sized 3D holographic projectors, each of them can get overtime pay ranging from thousands to tens of thousands, which is almost as much as they usually earn in a month.
