The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

The concept of 3D movies actually appeared as early as the 1920s.

The first film was "The Power of Love," which premiered in Los Angeles on September 27, 1922, and was viewed using a red-blue filter and paper glasses.

The film stock for this movie has been lost, but it was the first 3D movie ever made for a pay-per-view price.

Secondly, in 1952, the first wave of 3D commercial boom emerged, which is known as the golden age of 3D.

Released in 1952, "The African Devil" was the first color panoramic 3D feature film, sparking a movie-watching craze in the 50s. At the theater entrance, audiences lined up to receive polarized glasses.

This time it's not red-blue glasses, but real optical polarized glasses.

Following closely behind was "House of Wax" in 1953, a 3D horror film.

The underwater 3D sequence in the 1954 film "Creature from the Black Lagoon" remains a classic to this day.

This wave of enthusiasm ultimately failed because the technology and process were too cumbersome. It required two cameras, and if they were out of sync, the footage had to be reshot. Moreover, the glasses reflected light and the picture was dark, which gave viewers a headache.

The main problem is that the technology is not advanced enough. Although 3D is available, the technology is not mature and requires constant reshoots, resulting in serious waste of film stock, high costs, and difficulty in recouping box office revenue.

So by the 1960s, 3D was basically dead.

It reappeared in the 80s when IMAX 3D was emerging, but at that time, it was only used to make stereoscopic documentaries, taking the route of science and education museums rather than making movies.

In 2000, the year of the new millennium, digital 3D emerged, with films like "The Polar Express" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" accelerating its development.

And even cinemas have started to seriously install 3D equipment.

So, strictly speaking, Avatar wasn't the first 3D movie; it was the first original CGI film, an epic blockbuster made with 3D thinking.

It's not about using two cameras to film and then compositing; it's about using a virtual photography system to directly generate 3D information in three-dimensional space. This is a fundamental difference.

Most importantly, it makes the audience feel that 3D is not just a gimmick, but something they can immerse themselves in, especially the classic elements in the film such as Pandora's pollen particles and floating mountains, which are not the cheap 3D that makes you feel like you're just poking things at the camera.

In short, it can be summarized in one sentence.

While Avatar wasn't the first 3D movie, it was the one that finally made the public feel that the 3D hype was worthy of the film.

Previous 3D movies either had glasses but no content, or content but no technology, but Truck Driver managed to incorporate all of these elements into one film, which is why Avatar was a success.

Right now, the truck driver has already started filming "Avatar," which was released in 09, at most two years from now.

If Lin Bufan really wants to make a movie that can surpass "Avatar" and achieve greater success, then firstly, none of the existing scripts in the system store are suitable.

The success of Avatar is not only due to its 3D technology, but also to the epic feeling it evokes.

"Want to give it a try?"

The thought flashed through Lin Bufan's mind, and in the next instant, he confirmed it.

We must try!

Whether it succeeds or not, you have to try.

Trying may not guarantee success.

However, if you don't try, you definitely won't succeed.

As a reborn person with a system, if you don't even dare to try this, what qualifications and face do you have to call yourself a reborn person?

However, this kind of script cannot be completed by Lin Bufan alone.

"Heavenly Love!"

"Boss!"

"Please make a note of this for me. I'll call a meeting with the screenwriting department after I get back to China."

"Okay, boss!"

Zhang Tian'ai hurriedly jotted things down: "Boss, should we take notes on the meeting?"

"No need!"

Lin Bufan waved his hand slightly.

……

When the screening of "2012" ended, the entire audience burst into enthusiastic applause.

The special effects in this movie, whether from the perspective of the plot, the logic, or the breathtaking visuals, are truly stunning.

After the premiere, we waited for the movie to be released.

In addition to "2012", another family comedy, "Home Alone", was also released at the same time, although they were released in the same period.

However, the two films are of different themes, so there's no need to worry about the other film stealing your box office.

"2012" is a special effects blockbuster about the end of the world, while "Home Alone" is a family comedy.

"2012" was released simultaneously worldwide, and also in major cinemas in China at the same time.

Should I avoid his sharp edge?

Three days earlier, in Huayi Brothers' office, Boss Wang found Feng Xiaogang.

"Xiaogang, listen to me!"

The boss personally poured Feng Xiaogang a cup of tea, and then slowly said, "Losing to Lin Bufan is not shameful."

"Everyone knows about the movie '2012,' it was a Hollywood blockbuster with a budget of nearly $2 million. How could we possibly compete with it?"

The king patiently and earnestly tried to persuade Feng Xiaogang.

There's no other way. "Assembly" is a major production for Huayi Brothers this year. The CEO is aiming to get Huayi Brothers listed on the stock exchange. Huayi Brothers' annual profits can't compare to Kyoto Animation, so they can only rely on extending the film's runtime.

If you can generate over 100 million in profit every year for the next three years, going public will be easy.

This is the first year, and we're still short of profits. We'll have to rely on the rallying cry.

However, Lin Bufan deliberately released "2012" on the same day to counter "Assembly". When he first learned of this news...

The boss almost smashed up the entire office.

He even went to China Film Group to complain to Han Sanping about Hollywood blockbusters taking over popular domestic release slots.

However, Han Sanping's statement that "2012" was a Sino-US co-production immediately rejected his claim.

The domestic film market is still in its early stages of development and cannot fully mature, so it cannot accommodate two films being released at the same time, especially blockbusters like this.

Therefore, in order to avoid being blocked by "2012", the king only had one choice, which was to postpone the release of "Assembly".

As long as "2012" survives its initial phase, it won't have a significant impact on "Assembly".

He had already planned to release "Assembly" on December 31st, nine days earlier than "2012," so that it wouldn't have too much of an impact.

Moreover, since the date was December 31, 2007, before 2008, when the finance department prepared the financial statements, they could have included the profits from "Assembly" in 2007.

Although there were some flaws in the operation, it was not too illegal. As long as it was done properly, there was no problem.
