Chapter 604 3100 million pre-sale! (The first update asks for a subscription!)
"It's so awesome, Tang An's mind is still so confused, and finally ended in this way!"

"I thought the hero was going back to Earth, but I didn't expect his daughter to save the world!"

"Wrong, I think the hero's son is the greatest person. He stayed at home for more than 20 years to keep his promise to his father. Even his own child died. No matter how difficult the environment is, he will never move away."

"I don't think so. The male protagonist's son is too stubborn. He obviously lost a son. Now his wife and younger son are not in good health, so they are not allowed to see a doctor."

"I'll go, you don't even understand. He just wants to be a family together. This has become an obsession."

"I feel that there are still many places that are a bit confused. Liberal arts students can only understand the plot, and they don't understand any of the professional things."

"It's really worth taking time off to watch a movie today. This is definitely the best movie to watch this year. Liu Ye, Yang Mi, and Wan Qian all performed superbly. The scene where Zhang Yi grows old instantly is really worrying."

"Yeah, I was stunned at the time, and I became so old in a blink of an eye."

The premiere of the Science and Technology Museum has ended, and the audience who experienced a two-and-a-half-hour visual feast were still talking about it when they left.

The superficial story of "Interstellar Crossing" is clear at a glance, but when you look back after watching it, many details are worthy of repeated scrutiny.

Many characters also have various speculations. If you change your thinking, you may have a different impression in your head.

The subsequent banquet was held in the Science and Technology Museum, which is Poly's industry.

Poly Group sold Poly Culture's film and television media business to Tang An, and the remaining theaters also accepted Tang An's shareholding.

However, the Poly Group also has a large number of theaters and science and technology museums across the country, which are assigned to a separate cinema investment company.

"Congratulations, Director Tang. "Interstellar" is too shocking. It feels like watching "Avatar".

"There hasn't been such a good movie in China for a long time. The characters, plot and special effects are perfect."

"With Tang Dong's "Interstellar" in this summer, those Hollywood blockbusters should be eclipsed."

As the focus of the audience, Tang An accepted everyone's congratulations one by one.

But this is a bit too much, it is perfect, there is no such thing as perfection.

"Avatar" is also not perfect. It is a converted IMAX, that is, digital IMAX. The resolution is at most 4K, which is far less than the 6K of "Interstellar". The larger the screen, the more obvious the gap.

However, the country is full of digital IMAX and giant screens, and 4K resolution is enough.

Just like watching it on a mobile phone or a computer, whether it is 2K, 3K, or 4K, there is no difference at all.

As professional filmmakers, everyone present could see the box office potential of "Interstellar".

With Tang An's appeal, there are many stars, and the quality of the movie itself is also top-notch, which already has the characteristics of a blockbuster.

What's more, the emotions in the movie are touching enough, and it is possible to leave a name in the history of film.

An eye-catching movie can be a big hit, and a touching movie can become a classic.

The only question now is the length of the film. The two-and-a-half-hour film length is an hour longer than ordinary movies, which is not good for the number of scenes, and there is no 3D.

After all, there are still too few domestic IMAX and giant screens.

After being surrounded for a few glasses of wine, Zhang Hongsen, director of the Film Bureau, didn't stay long, and left after some encouragement, and Han Sanping followed suit.

The leader was sent away, and the atmosphere on the scene became active.

Tang An approached Yu Dong and asked about the sequel of "You Now You See Me".

Yu Dong took a sip of the wine in his glass and shook his head, "I talked with him for a few months, and he insisted that Huayi was solely responsible for the production, and he didn't want us to intervene, so he could only invest part of it. And he also wanted to exchange a small amount of investment for the majority Income, our investment does not account for the copyright of the series."

"Wang Zhongjun thought too well!"

Tang An sneered and was speechless.

Relying on 70% of the copyright, it is understandable to want to spend less money and gain more, but the investment in the sequel does not involve the follow-up copyright income, so there is no such thing as such a good thing.

Tang An and Yu Dong clinked a glass, and said with a smile, "If this is the case, forget it. It's not necessary for this project. After a month, "Tomb Raiders Notes" failed, and he should be the one to worry about."

"That's right, that's right, he will be the one who should be worried." Yu Dong laughed.

"Tomb Raiders Notes" has gained enough momentum through the pervasive publicity during this period.

In this case, the expectations of the outside world will increase. Coupled with the precedent of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", it can basically be said that the minimum expectations of external investment institutions and the public for this movie are around [-] million.

Once this number is not reached, lower than the expectations of the outside world, even if Huayi makes money, it is equivalent to half of the failure.

A movie with an expectation of [-] million was a hit at the box office of [-] million, but a movie with an expectation of [-] million was actually a failure.

At that time, Huayi definitely needed to stabilize the situation, and they were the ones who were in a hurry.

Yu Dong was not sure whether "Interstellar" would squeeze the space of "Tomb Raider Notes" two weeks later, but after watching the movie, there is no doubt.

Movies are good on the one hand. The key is that the movie is long. The early box office will definitely not explode too violently, but the trend will be stronger.

The longer "King Kong" won over [-] million box office by relying on long-term screenings, and it survived until "The Promise" hit the street, and it remained strong until "Fearless" was released.

Then Tang An got together with several directors who came to the premiere. Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Xu Ke, and Chen Kexin all came, and they all admired "Interstellar".

Xu Ke, who is technically skilled, said first, "Dong Tang, this opened my eyes again. This movie doesn't seem to have many CG special effects, but the visual effects are definitely much better than most special effects blockbusters!"

Feng Xiaogang nodded in agreement, ""Interstellar" is different from "Edge of Tomorrow". There are not many special effects. In addition to the effects of IMAX film, the plot is also constantly guiding the audience's mentality, combined with just right special effects."

Tang Andao, "The two of you have given too much praise. In fact, except for space and black holes, there are basically no digital special effects in the whole film. Most of them are real shots with physical special effects, and some processing will be done later."

The two-and-a-half-hour film cost just 35 million yuan, and a considerable part of the cost was spent on IMAX equipment and film, otherwise the cost would be very low if the [-]MM film was converted into an IMAX version.

The main reason is labor costs. There is a huge difference between China and North America. The salary of special effects personnel at the same level is almost four or five times lower than that in North America.

However, Tang An employs a lot of people. Anyway, labor is cheap, and no matter how many people can afford it, 500 people in North America work for half a year, and he works with [-] people for half a year, striving for efficiency and quality.

If you can do it well, try your best to do it well, so that it won’t be as fake as the steamed stuffed bun in “A Thousand Bone Flowers”.

Zhang Yimou said, "Actually, the best part is the effect of shooting with 70MM film, which is obviously much better than the effect of 35MM film."

Zhang Yimou thinks that he is unique in photography and art, whether it is Chen Kaige from the mainland, Xu Ke from Xiangjiang, or Li Rengang who studied Chinese painting, they are far behind him.

Tang An's movies are good in story and special effects, and Zhang Yimou has always been confident in the screen.

But after watching this "Interstellar" today, he realized that the place he was most proud of didn't have much advantage.

The feeling of shooting on 70MM film is better than 35MM film in terms of resolution and texture. Putting it on the IMAX screen can almost bridge the gap in art and photography.

Maybe I can make a film IMAX movie myself?

An idea flashed in Zhang Yimou's mind. With his art and photography skills, if he shoots with 70MM film, it will definitely have a great bonus.

Several of them are discussing movies as a director, without mixing other things.

They are all the top directors in the country, and there is nothing to say in terms of professional ability.

Tang An returned to the Palace after the banquet. It was two hours since the premiere ended, and there were already a few news and movie reviews on the Internet.

There are no early screenings, no screenings, and tonight's premiere is the first one. There are very few film reviews, and there are not many reviews at all.

After all, there are so many things to write about in the movie, each character can be deeply explored, and many lines and scenes are foreshadowing.

But there are a lot of stereotyped news.

"Today, the latest sci-fi blockbuster "Interstellar" directed by the famous director Tang An held a grand premiere ceremony at the Beijing Science and Technology Museum, and the scene was full of seats."

"Look directly at the premiere of "Interstellar" in Beijing, the scene is hot!"

"The best movie of the year, the premiere of "Interstellar" was well received, with hundreds of people applauding in unison."

This kind of news that can be used in every movie is a lot, hanging on the headlines of several major portal websites, coupled with a few pictures, there is almost no useful information.

It was almost 12 o'clock, and Tang An went to Nuomi Movies to check the pre-sale data.

Originally, only 1 million tickets were prepared for the Nuomi movie in the summer vacation, which was transferred after the previous money arrived.

However, Tao Piao Piao is said to have lost 1.2 million yuan, Wei Piao Piao has lost 8000 million yuan, and Maoyan Movie has lost 7000 million yuan.

All four ticketing platforms participated in this summer feast, and previous platforms like Guevara also joined in.

At this time, what is burned is money, and whoever burns more will have more users.

Faced with the competition from several companies, Tang An simply offered another 5000 million yuan, for a total of 1.5 million yuan.

Several large and small platforms added up to more than 4.5 million, mainly because of their four-way competition.

It seems quite a lot, but this is seven or eight months of money, an average of just over [-] million a month.

This is still a popular time for summer vacation. This year, the Lunar New Year file will burn another 12 million in December, and the National Day file will burn 3 million, which is less than one billion.

Counting the end of the Lunar New Year and the Spring Festival stalls in January next year, which will burn more than 1 million, 3 billion a year is nothing at all.

Originally, in 15 years, several major platforms burned 40 billion yuan, which led to a terrifying 49% increase in the box office that year, which was 440 billion yuan for the whole year.

As a result of burning 40 billion yuan, online tickets accounted for 70% of the total votes, and online tickets accounted for 80% of the top ten theaters.

The market is almost divided, and everyone took a break tacitly. In 16, only 15 billion was burned.

The most intuitive manifestation is the box office. The annual box office in 16 was only 457 billion, with a growth rate of only 3.7%, creating the lowest growth rate in more than ten years.

In 14, there were three movies with a box office of one billion.

In 15 years, 40 billion was burned, eight billions were burned, and three [-] million.

In 16, only 15 billion was burned, and the result was revealed. Only ten movies broke [-] billion, and one broke [-] million. There was almost no growth.

Nuomi.com burnt out the 1.5 million of the summer file, and basically firmly occupied the first place in the market share.

However, the four platforms are competing, and the launch time is about the same, each has its own advantages, and the gap will not be large.

Thanks to these hundreds of millions of ticket subsidies, the pre-sale box office of many movies in the summer vacation has soared. The pre-sale box office of "Interstellar" will reach 3100 million tomorrow, and this is only tomorrow. The total box office sales exceeded [-] million the day before yesterday.

Although it is incomparable with a few years later, this number is scary enough, and there are no such numbers on the first day of many blockbuster films.

It is also because the length of the film dragged down the number of scenes, otherwise it could be even higher.

However, the 3100 million includes the zero-point show at 12 midnight, and the zero-point show will have to wait for the theater to calculate it.
