Chapter 876: Huge Profits Under Technological Monopoly

Marin Town should be called Marin District now. A year ago, Iraq officially designated Marin Town as a municipality directly under the Central Government, becoming the first municipality directly under the Central Government in Iraq and the first tax-free city in Iraq.

Marin District is where Marin Town used to be. Because of the existence of the Future Technology Group, Marin Town has changed from the past. In just four years, Marin Town has become the most modern representative area in Iraq.

Here, there is an architectural pattern no less than that of any international metropolis, especially around the headquarters building of the Future Technology Group, a conceptual technology community has been established, and it has become one of the more popular tourist areas in the world.

The bustling Marin District is as prosperous as any city, where you can taste food from any part of the world, and experience the customs and traditions of any part of the world.

Seventy percent of the 1,000-meter-high headquarters of the Future Technology Group is also open to tourists, which integrates the most cutting-edge technology of mankind.

Some people even took a flight to watch in the future cinema to watch an augmented reality projection movie. Especially recently, the Future Technology Group has cooperated with many Hollywood film companies in the United States to shoot many blockbuster films, and all of them have boldly adopted the latest naked eye technology. Augmented reality technology allows every movie viewer to feel the charm of blockbuster movies in person.

It's just a pity that watching such a blockbuster movie requires a routine physical examination. Patients with heart disease and high blood pressure are prohibited from watching such a movie, because the movie using augmented reality technology is really shocking.

Moreover, the price of each movie ticket is ten times that of ordinary movie tickets, and there are only less than one hundred such movie theaters in the world, and there is only one in every big city.

However, all the movie tickets are sold out every day, but only the movie images captured by special augmented reality image capture technology can be used for augmented reality projection playback.

Therefore, it is not always possible to see movies under augmented reality technology. At present, because of the cooperation between Future Film Company and Hollywood, there are only a few Hollywood blockbusters that can truly make moviegoers feel what is called Immerse yourself in the movie world.

However, it has been able to achieve such a movie viewing effect, and the future film company that monopolizes this technology will naturally become the object that the film and television industry is eager to cooperate with.

Almost all the blockbuster films that cooperate with Hollywood have made a lot of money, and the box office of augmented reality cinemas has reached hundreds of millions of dollars.

But unfortunately, the future film company also set a very high threshold for the so-called cooperation requirements, at least the requirements are for large-scale movies.

Because only large-scale movies and big scenes can show the effect of shocking the soul under the augmented reality technology.

Moreover, the cost of shooting with the lens captured by the augmented reality screen is extremely high, and it is very troublesome to shoot, which subverts the traditional shooting effect and requires that every frame of the picture must be shot from all angles.

The most important thing is that with all the current special effects technology in the world, it is impossible to perfectly create the picture of an augmented reality movie. All post-production is more handed over to Future Film Company.

Among the several blockbusters that have been cooperating with Hollywood, it was the first time that those American film and television companies had nothing to do when they retired.

All the post-production costs of blockbuster films, all film producers and investment companies, all have to pay the future film company a post-production cost that reaches 70% of the total investment of the film, and the 360-degree screen capture lens used during shooting As well as a series of equipment such as mobile full-scale screen capture cameras, all of which must be rented from Future Film Company.

There is no sale, no direct cooperation, only making money. In the future, the film company will also have a part of the box office revenue and the income of the augmented reality theaters.

Regardless of whether the movie is a big hit or not, the future film company has already made money first.

For a Hollywood blockbuster, if the post-production ratio reaches more than half, the cost of post-production alone will be at least 100 million US dollars.

Then add the shooting props, any movie, and the profits of the two aspects of the future film company will be at least 100 million US dollars.

Therefore, for every movie played in augmented reality, the future film company has actually taken away the bulk of the benefits in the first place.

Although the film companies that cooperate with them have opinions, they are more aware that technological monopoly is profiteering, there is no doubt about it.

The most important thing is that the future film company actually learned from them completely, because when they helped film companies in other countries with post-production, they all rip off hard.

Only this time, they became the ones being ripped off.

However, although the production costs required by future film companies are very expensive, in terms of efficiency and quality, all the American film companies that have been ripped off have nothing to say, and all of them can't help giving their thumbs up.

A Hollywood blockbuster, two hours, more than 60 to 70% of the screen is post-production, handed over to the future film company, it only takes three months to complete.

Compared with normal film post-production, the efficiency has increased by more than four times, and the produced effect is so real that it is almost difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

Every boss of a movie company who was ripped off felt that it was worth it after experiencing the shocking effect of a movie.

The most important thing is that for these blockbusters, moviegoers all over the world are very satisfied, and the box office results are not bad. Even if it is a sloppy plot, most moviegoers are still very satisfied with the shocking production effect. of.

In the past year, the Future Film Company has carried out post-production for a total of more than a dozen blockbuster films. Up to now, these blockbuster films are still being played in the Future Cinema, and they have not been offline, and they have always maintained a record of being full. There are many people who made an appointment to watch the movie, but it is not their turn yet, and some people watch it again and again, with a rhythm that cannot be stopped.

As long as the whole world buys it, the monetary benefits will naturally be indispensable, and the Future Technology Group will soon launch personal terminal augmented reality playback software, which can put movies in front of your eyes for viewing, and can also put any video fragment.

The emergence of this software has once again swept the world.

And all of this comes from the survivors of the wasteland, who earn billions of dollars a year in the field of film and television media, and these survivors have made great contributions.
