Chapter 415 Release and Broadcast

3DIMAX, Wu Yuan has actually been using this technology.

The movie "Interstellar" was shot with a 70mm IMAX camera, and it was also shot using Cameron's method.

3D virtual image capture photography system.

This thing was developed by James Cameron and Vince Pace.

This system uses two Sony HDCF950 HD cameras to create a three-dimensional environment.

Simply put, it is to shoot with two cameras together, and by matching different filters for the lens, different parts of the original image are removed when the subject enters the lens, just like the left and right eyes of a person, providing different perspectives, feedback to the brain, forming a three-dimensional perspective, and more three-dimensional.

This technology itself is actually not complicated. The important thing is that the person who came up with this idea is very powerful.

This is why Cameron's position in the history of world cinema is unshakable.

Since Cameron first used this system in the IMAX movie "Ghosts of the Abyss" in 2003, most 3D movies in the following decades have also been shot using this method, including various 3D videos, 3D concert recordings, etc., all learned from Cameron.

He has opened up a new path in the field of photography.

Wu Yuan explored and learned this 3D shooting method from Cameron, but he was still interested in the shooting equipment that Cameron and Vince Pace personally modified, and wanted to rent it to try it out.

Apart from anything else, the same model as "Avatar" was enough to make Wu Yuan curious, and it could also add some gimmicks to the movie.

Of course, the viewing effect of their movies shot with a 3D system during shooting is different from the 2D to 3D movies that will emerge in large numbers in the next one or two years.

The so-called 2D to 3D conversion means that when shooting, one camera is still used, and the picture is divided into two sides during post-production, and the 2D to 3D conversion is done through post-production. The effect of the 3D movie produced in this way will be relatively rough.

When 3D technology was at its hottest in the future, many love movies without special effects could be made into 3D versions for the audience to choose.

After all, 3D tickets are more expensive and make more money, so why not make money?

It can be predicted that after "Avatar" became popular all over the world and created a new box office miracle, a large number of 2D-to-3D movies will emerge in North America in the next one or two years. Even if it is just for this gimmick, the banner of "3D movie" can make a lot of box office!

Among these 2D-to-3D movies, the original 3DIMAX version of "Interstellar" will definitely stand out!

The biggest beneficiary of the 3DIMAX market opened up by "Avatar" will be "Interstellar"!

Oh, and Inception.

"I'm already looking forward to the release of Interstellar." Wu Yuan said to Liu Yifei with a smile on his face: "After Director Cameron set a precedent, it is estimated that hundreds of IMAX giant screen theaters will be built in North America every year, which is a bargain for us."

"Avatar"'s box office is a big hit, but most of it is provided by the 2D version or the ordinary 3D version. The number of real 3DIMAX giant screen theaters, even in North America, is very small and has just begun to rise.

Of the nearly 500 million box office in North America, only less than 50 million box office was provided by 3DIMAX, which accounts for only one-tenth of the total box office!

This is also a big regret for "Avatar".

So later this movie will be re-screened in various countries, just to let the audience go to the cinema to watch the full version of this movie when there are enough 3DIMAX theaters.

Now in North America, 3DIMAX movie tickets for Avatar can be said to be hard to get, and they are impossible to buy. Even scalpers sell them at double the price, but they are still snapped up at the first time.

By the time Interstellar is released, the number of 3DIMAX theaters in North America will at least double, and the price of 3DIMAX movie tickets will be more than double that of ordinary tickets.

Wu Yuan dared not even think about how good the box office would be by then!

With a bright smile on his face, Wu Yuan pretended to sigh with regret: "Unfortunately, there are not many 3DIMAX theaters in China. Even if we start building them now, we won't be able to build many by the time Interstellar is released."

"And 3DIMAX theaters are too expensive, and movie tickets will also be very expensive. For Chinese audiences, it's a bit extravagant."

Not to mention now, even ten years later, a Wanda 3DIMAX theater with a movie ticket of more than 100 yuan is not the first choice of the public. Most people still choose the cheaper Chinese giant screen or ordinary 3D theater.

It would be great if the price of 3DIMAX theaters could be lowered, but unfortunately, Wu Yuan couldn't do it.

"Brother, we should pay more attention to the broadcast of Goblin than Avatar." Liu Yifei patted Wu Yuan's back with a frown on her face, her tone very dissatisfied.

This is the first time she and her brother star in a TV series, and the two are playing lovers, but Wu Yuan doesn't care much and is paying attention to the new movie of a white-bearded old man.

This is too discouraging!

"Ah, haha." Wu Yuan smiled awkwardly and clapped his hands, "Pay attention, of course!"

"What I care most about now is the broadcast of Goblin."

"Although Avatar is also being released in Korea, the popularity of the movie still does not affect the TV drama market."

"Goblin's highest ratings reached 4.2% yesterday, which has set a record for the ratings of Korean cable pay TV stations."

"And the first broadcast has a very good reputation. Now everyone on the Korean Internet is discussing this movie."

"Everyone says you are beautiful and it doesn't feel awkward to play a high school student. You look so young."

"Of course, many people also praise me for being very handsome. It's a pity to be just a director."

"And Lee Dong Wook is really handsome. It's effective to let him lose ten pounds. When the messenger of hell appeared, I don't know how many fans went crazy for him."

"4.2% ratings?" Liu Yifei frowned, a little dissatisfied with this number.

Although this number is impressive in China, in Korea, the high-rated TV series on the three major TV stations can have a rating of more than 60% regardless of whether you understand it or not, which is exaggerated.

There is no way. There are not many free TV stations in Korea. 99% of the ratings are in the hands of the three major TV stations. Once a TV station releases a hit drama, it is as easy as drinking water to directly increase the ratings to more than 60%.

"You can't compare the ratings of free stations with those of paid stations." Wu Yuan saw Liu Yifei's thoughts and explained with a smile: "You have to pay to watch paid stations."

"Before "Goblin", tvN's ratings were 0.5 percentage points, not even 1%, and now it has increased many times in an instant."

"Besides, our drama is not only broadcast on TV, but also on the Internet."

"The word-of-mouth after the TV station broadcast spread, and many Korean viewers who were reluctant to subscribe to paid stations went online to find resources to watch."

"Our Guangying Kuaibo Korean station is really going to take off this time!" (End of this chapter)
