They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 656: Trying to shoot a 3D movie?

Due to the limitations of the film’s subject matter, it is far less profitable than commercial blockbusters.

The final box office of this film "Time Traveler" in North America was fixed at more than 83 million US dollars.

In fact, it is already very good. The North American box office alone has already refreshed the box office ceiling for movies of the same type.

If you only look at the production cost of the film, this movie would have made a lot of money by now.

But unfortunately, the reason why this movie has achieved such impressive box office results has a lot to do with the huge amount of marketing expenses invested in "bombarding" publicity.

The film production cost more than 10 million US dollars, and the publicity costs in North America alone reached 20 million!

When all is said and done, after sharing the box office revenue of over 100 million US dollars, the company just barely breaks even.

Of course, it’s not that there’s really no money to be made.

Mainland China, South Korea, the Cherry Blossom Country and even Southeast Asia are now the core fan base that Huo Mingjie has developed.

The markets in these places are huge, and because of the film's outstanding performance in North America, the publicity has almost been fully utilized and no longer requires too much marketing expenses.

So after the film is released in these places, the box office share is pure profit.

And considering Huo Mingjie's fame in these places, the box office will probably not be low...

After returning to China, Huo Mingjie didn't even have time to pay attention to the movie box office.

In the newly built audio-visual room, a drone aerial video was playing on the screen.

The drone flew across the cliffs, and the ancient trees on the mountains passed by its eyes, giving people the feeling that they might hit something if they moved.

Then it suddenly rose into the sky and broke through the clouds, and looking down, the magnificent mountains and rivers were right before our eyes!
Huo Chengyin turned his head excitedly at this time, looked at his second uncle and said:

"Look, Uncle, this naked-eye 3D technology is amazing!"

Huo Mingjie had previously completed filming "Now You See Me" and obtained 3D projection technology as a reward for his role.

Compared with previous high-tech such as new energy and mobile phones, this technology is more in line with the attributes of the uncle and nephew!
Since the movie Avatar, a 3D wave has swept the world both at home and abroad. Whenever 3D technology is hyped, the stock price will soar, and even game console sellers will come to join in the fun.

Needless to say, 3D cinemas have sprung up everywhere in the entertainment industry.

However, in these cinemas, you need to wear 3D glasses to achieve the desired effect.

However, the technology that Huo Mingjie obtained is real naked-eye 3D!

As long as the equipment is installed sufficiently, the effect presented will be extremely amazing, and there will be no flaws in almost any angle!

The projection technology in the movie "Now You See Me" is really exaggerated, and it can even change the facts that the surrounding audience sees...

"What's the cost?" Huo Mingjie couldn't help but ask.

This technology is amazing, but to achieve such an effect, not only a special screen is needed, but also various equipment is needed to assist.

"The cost is a bit high, but in fact, as long as it is mass-produced, this problem is not a big deal. It is just a bit difficult to maintain. It is much more troublesome than existing 3D equipment, so the maintenance cost is naturally high."

"However, the filmed videos can also be played through the popular 3D projection equipment, but the effect is not as good as ours."

Huo Mingjie hesitated for a while before nodding and saying, "Let's try to build a naked-eye 3D cinema like this first. We can take our time with the equipment and technical issues. There are also people willing to help us with the research funding."

Technology companies around the world are now researching naked-eye 3D technology.

After all, compared to wearing 3D glasses, this naked-eye 3D is more like future technology!

If we show even a little bit of this advanced technology, the investors will pounce on us like wolves smelling blood.

Even if it goes public directly, it can still raise a lot of money...

Huo Chengyin smiled and nodded, then suggested:
"Then should we also make a 3D movie?"

This time, the technology is not only capable of producing naked-eye 3D cinemas, but it also points out the skills of "3D photography technology"!
Nowadays, basically every team has its own specially developed 3D shooting technology. For example, the 3D shooting bracket of "Avatar" was developed by themselves and never leaked.

The domestic technology in this area is relatively backward.

But by sheer coincidence, Huo Mingjie developed a technology that is even more advanced than the existing 3D filming technology abroad!
"3D movie?"

Huo Mingjie frowned when he heard this.

He vaguely remembered that there was a period of time when anything dared to claim to be a 3D movie, so much so that "3D movie" became a synonym for bad movies...

However, there is a lack of related types of films in China nowadays, and when many people praise Hollywood online, they also take the opportunity to say that the domestic film market is doomed.

Since Huo Mingjie has the ability, he might as well make a proper 3D movie.

The special effects that 3D movies can present are quite shocking, which is very different from 2D movies.

At this time, Huo Mingjie was thinking about what suitable 3D movies there were, and the two movies he had found on his mobile phone last week popped into his mind.

One is "The Wandering Earth", which is unavoidable when writing about entertainment, and the other is Hollywood's "Ready Player One".

These two science fiction movies are most suitable to be presented using 3D shooting technology!

After thinking for a while, Huo Mingjie suddenly raised his eyebrows and said:

“It seems that we can really give it a try!”

At this moment, Huo Chengyin, seeing his second uncle's expression, could not help but feel moved and said:
“Do you have any inspiration?”

Huo Chengyin knew that his second uncle was also quite talented in scriptwriting.

Huo Mingjie was personally involved in the previous "Animal Management Bureau" and the script of "The Tuner" which was well received within the company, and he even wrote it himself!
Huo Mingjie heard this and said with a smile:
"I have some inspiration. I can try to let the company's screenwriters fill in the blanks..."

Having said that, Huo Mingjie actually still remembers the content of the movie and can shoot it exactly as it is.

However, some details can be modified, otherwise it might be a bit awkward for a Chinese like me to take the photo...

Having said that, Huo Mingjie continued:

"By the way, I remembered a very interesting novel. You can buy the copyright."

I was also confused. If I hadn’t been reminded, I would have almost forgotten the copyright of “The Wandering Earth”…

There will be at least hundreds of billions of popular IPs in the future, so it’s better to get them as soon as possible!
