Chapter 954 Flying to China to Watch Movies

In fact, the peak of the century threw out panoramic sound at this time, and the real purpose was not to speculate on "The Apocalypse of the Future". Now Jiahe only has 2 screens in the mainland, 2 screens in Xiangjiang, and 2 in the entire Southeast Asia, which is only 25 yuan in total. There are even fewer theaters in Europe and the United States. So far, there are only one in the United States and two in Europe. There are too few screens and will not have much impact on the box office of the movie.

The real goal of the Century's peak is to prepare for Zhang Ran's next movie "Year, Month, Day". "Year, Month, Day" is a Chinese-language film, but because the movie uses a large number of special effects and a 3D movie, the cost is relatively high, reaching US$200 million, which is almost 800 million yuan. The story of "Year, Month, Day" is literary and artistic, and the cost is so high, it is difficult to make a profit by relying solely on the mainland market. Therefore, the performance of the overseas market is very important. However, it is difficult to sell pure Chinese films in Europe and the United States. Zhang Ran is very famous in Europe and the United States. "One Person Decoration" also won the Oscar for Best Director, and sold for more than 0 million in North America. If "Year, Month, Day" wants to open up the European and American markets, it must come up with something special to make European and American audiences interested.

Zhang Ran’s idea is to make "Year, Month and Day" into a real 3D movie with 3D pictures and 3D sounds, using this as a gimmick to attract audiences. Moreover, Jiahe is now building a Diting Cinema, and Dolby Lab is also promoting panoramic sound systems around the world. When "Year, Month and Day" is released in two years, there should be hundreds of cinemas equipped with Diting and Dolby Atmos around the world, and audiences can enjoy a more shocking audio-visual effect than "Avatar".

The film palace of Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival is equipped with a Diting system, but when the movie "Future Apocalypse" premiered, the normal version of the movie was screened. What satisfied Zhang Ran the most was the structure of Song Ci, as well as his own thinking about war and human civilization. He did not want the Diting system to steal the limelight and make everyone's focus turn into voice rather than content.

After the panoramic effect of "The Apocalypse of the Future" attracted attention, Century Peak organized a media venue to play the panoramic version for reporters. After watching the panoramic version, the media gave high praise, and some media even claimed that this was a revolution in the sound of the movie.

"A month ago, the first panoramic film "The Legend of Brave" was released. The audience's reaction was mediocre. Many people think that panoramic sound is a gimmick and is not much different from ordinary movies. Now "The Apocalypse of the Future" tells us that panoramic sound is not a gimmick, but a revolution in the sound of the movie!" The New York Times

"Zhang Ran is a super genius! The panoramic version of "Future Apocalypse" is so amazing. This is my first time fighting with the war and being so close to the future world. This is an extraordinary, absolutely five-star viewing experience. "Future Apocalypse" is really shocking, and it completely shocked me!" "Hollywood Reporter".

"From today, world movies will enter the panoramic era!" "Variety Show"

Dolby Labs CEO Kevin Ye stood up and responded to Diting's remarks that were stronger than Dolby Atmos: "It is technically not difficult to place speakers under the theater to let the sound come from below, but it is somewhat difficult to implement in commercial theaters, because the audience's drinks may be sprinkled onto the speakers below. If the theater needs it, Dolby can easily meet the requirements of the theater." At the same time, he accused Century Peak of infringing Dolby Labs' intellectual property rights: "The word Atmos is Dolby's patent. Even if Century Peak's technology is similar to Dolby Atmos, it cannot claim to be Panoramic Peak."

The spokesperson of Century Peak immediately responded: "Skip Reevesay calls the Diting system panoramic sound a mistake. Diting is not panoramic sound, but a more advanced holographic sound, a truly three-dimensional sound, and more advanced in technology. Holographic sound is the future of the movie sound system!" At the same time, Century Peak announced the list of 25 cinemas that use Diting holographic sound system to facilitate audiences to watch movies in the cinema.

The media reported extensively, and a large number of viewers who have experienced the holographic version of "The Apocalypse of the Future" posted on the Internet to share their feelings. "The Apocalypse of the Future", which was already particularly popular, has become even more popular, especially the theaters equipped with the Diting system, which was simply crowded. There were nearly a thousand viewers queuing up to buy tickets in each theater. The longest line took several turns in the ticket hall, lined up to the street, and was still far away, hundreds of meters long.

The phone number of the staff of Jiahe Cinemas was blown up, and many movies that did not install the Diting system cinema staff were blown up. Relatives, friends, and even many people who are not particularly familiar have used their relationship to buy tickets. Since the recent phenomenon of scalpers is serious, in order to ensure that ordinary audiences can buy tickets normally, Jiahe’s boss Qiu Yuanxu specially issued a new rule: "All employees cannot use their work convenience to grab tickets, including myself, if you want to watch "The Apocalypse of the Future"."

There are only two screens in the mainland that have Diting system, mainly concentrated in first-tier cities, but not in other cities. Therefore, movie enthusiasts and fans from surrounding cities rushed to these cities with Diting system to watch the holographic version of "The Apocalypse of the Future", making the already crowded cinema even more crowded.

Not only domestic audiences, but some European and American movie enthusiasts also asked their friends and colleagues in China to help them book tickets at the Hologram Cinema Hall, and then they took a plane to China to watch movies; some fanatical movie fans who had no friends and colleagues in China took a plane to China to buy tickets and watch movies, and regarded it as traveling to China.

Domestic media and movie fans were stunned when they heard that European and American movie fans were flying to China for a special plane to watch "The Apocalypse". In the past, only mainland audiences took a plane to Xiangjiang to watch movies that could not be released in the mainland, or to watch full versions of movies. For example, when "Lust and Caution" were released, many viewers went to Xiangjiang to watch full versions of movies. Unexpectedly, there would be a day when American and European movie fans flew to China to watch movies. Only Zhang Ran could do this!

Since the holographic sound version of "Future Apocalypse" is very difficult to buy, many movie fans and enthusiasts stay directly in hotels near the cinema to facilitate buying tickets and watching movies. Therefore, the business of hotels, catering, taxis and other businesses around the cinema is much better than usual, and the merchants are smiling and unable to stop talking.

On Weibo, Tianya, Tieba, many forums and online communities, viewers who have watched the holographic version of "Future Apocalypse" have posted to share their viewing experience: "The holographic effect is so amazing, especially in the war scenes, I was really shocked. When the bomb exploded, the chairs and the ground were shaking, just like they were really on the battlefield! The effect is much better than ordinary ia halls!"

"Watching the complete resting version of "The Apocalypse of the Future", I was trembling. This is the most shocking movie I have ever seen since "Avatar". There are sounds, gunfire, explosions of cannons, and various sounds wrapped around you. It's really like being on the battlefield. Apart from shock, I really don't know what to say!"

Thomas Moore is an American movie enthusiast. Dolby Atmos version of "Future Apocalypse" shocked him. After hearing Skip Reifsay that he could only feel 70% of the effect when watching "Future Apocalypse" at Dolby Atmos Theater, he contacted his friends in Peking and asked the other party to order a ticket to the holographic version of "Future Apocalypse" and then he flew to Peking.

When I watched the complete recessive version of "The Apocalypse of the Future", when I walked out of the theater, Thomas Moore and his friends were extremely silent. It was not that they had nothing to say, but that they didn't know what to say at all. He and his friends were shocked, and there was only a deep shock in their hearts.

The world of human life is three-dimensional, and the sounds that can be felt by the ears are also three-dimensional. In conversations with others, in addition to hearing the other person's speech, they can also hear the sounds of cars around them, birds singing above their heads, etc. However, the sounds presented in ordinary movies are different from the actual feeling. They cannot accurately reproduce all the sounds and images in the scene. When playing the movie, audiences in different areas will also feel different. Only audiences in specific locations can feel relatively real sounds. These positions are commonly known as golden seats.

The Diting holographic sound system changed this situation. The audience at each position can accurately locate the sound image, completely solving the problem of positioning the sound image in 30° space. The Diting holographic sound uses a perfect combination of the sound channel, sound field, and object to specify a motion trajectory for each sound. Through real-time computing rendering, the calculated sound object is allocated to one or more speakers, thereby realizing the movement of the sound object in three-dimensional space.

Just like a missile flew over the head in the movie, although each audience felt that the missile flew over the head differently at the time and position, each audience felt that the missile flew over the head and could accurately feel the position of the missile, as if it was really in a movie scene.

After returning to the hotel, Thomas Moore did not sleep. He opened his notebook and wanted to write down his inner feelings, but he couldn't write them out at all. His excited emotions made his mind look like a pile of mud.

After sitting for almost half an hour, after his emotions calmed down, Thomas Moore slowly knocked out his inner feelings: "I just watched the full version of "The Apocalypse of Future Revelation" with my friend, and I am still very excited. After watching "The Apocalypse of Future Revelation", my biggest feeling now is that the movies I watched in the past few years were like fake movies, and the real movie should be like "The Apocalypse of Future Revelation"..."

Thomas Moore just posted his feelings on Facebook, and an acquaintance immediately responded. It was his friend David Fisk, who were members of the same movie enthusiast club: "Is "The Future Apocalypse" more shocking than "Avatar"?"

Thomas Moore thought about it and replied: "The 3D effect of "Avatar" is particularly good, it can bring a strong sense of surround and an immersive feeling, which is very shocking. The holographic sound of "The Apocalypse of the Future" is another feeling, another shock, and the sound tightly wraps you. From the viewing experience, the holographic sound of the Future Apocalypse of the Future is more than that of "Avatar".

David Fisk was a little surprised: "It's even stronger than "Avatar", isn't it too exaggerating?"

Thomas Moore replied: "It's really no exaggeration. Do you remember the shot of the bomb exploding beside Matt Damon and blowing him up? Because there is a sound underground, when the huge explosion sounds came out, the chair shaking, as if it really exploded, and I almost scared me to pee! Those ultra-low-altitude cruise cameras were pushed forward in the air four or five meters high, and the ground was constantly exploding. The sound of explosion in this scene came from the ground. I felt that I was really in the air and was really flying forward with the camera lens. That feeling was very magical!"

A few seconds after Thomas Moore replied, the phone rang. It was David Fisk. As soon as he answered the phone, David Fisk's voice came over: "Help me buy a movie ticket for the holographic sound of "Future Apocalypse", I'll come to China right away!"
