Chapter 617 Fragrance, Cross-Strait Film Exhibition
"Captain America 3" swept the schedule.

The next day on Saturday was 2.49 million.

Sunday, 1.8 million.

Fortunately, after entering the working day, there was a cliff-like drop, with only more than 5900 million won.

This gives the industry a big sigh of relief. At least the popularity of "Captain America 3" is likely to pass away, and subsequent domestic films will still have a chance to survive.

But I just breathed a sigh of relief, and the promotional trailer for the Wang Zha IP movie "Warcraft" was ushered in.

As the most anticipated Hollywood fantasy epic in 2016, every move of "Warcraft" has attracted the attention of the media, fans and moviegoers.

Compared with the two previously released trailers, the plot line of this version of the trailer is clearer. You can see the green-skinned orc army invading Azeroth, the human army arraying against the oncoming orcs, and other clips. Horde The ultimate decisive battle between the two worlds of the Alliance is about to begin.

The epic magical world, the massive war scenes, and the visual effects of the powerful magical power shots of the wizard Khadgar and other characters are all at the top level in the industry today, giving people an immersive experience.

This caused countless Warcraft fans to shout for its introduction as soon as possible.

Because North America has already set the date for June 6th, which is only one month away, this makes the industry's scheduled movies in this period a little troubled.

If it is released at the same time, there is a high probability that it will be blood-sucked.

At this time, Li Mu was packing the clothes he needed for this trip to Treasure Island.

Liu Yifei picked around in the wardrobe and finally chose three sets.

"Stop it, I'm not going on a trip."

Li Mu hurriedly hugged Liu Yifei from behind, and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw that his box was already full.

"Aren't I afraid that you won't get used to it?"

When Liu Yifei heard what Li Mu said, she had no choice but to put down the items she was packing and spread them out in Li Mu's arms.

"Strange, what kind of scent is it?"

Li Mu sniffed it, and the fragrance of the hair and an unknown taste mixed together, making Li Mu very curious.

Immediately, the roots behind Liu Yifei's ears seemed to be a little red, and she whispered, "Where does the fragrance come from? Don't talk nonsense."

"No, it's true."

Li Mu sniffed hard again, and the obvious fragrance seemed to be a bit milky. Then he saw that the roots behind Liu Yifei's ears and neck were slightly red, and he couldn't help but guess something.

His hand couldn't help but explore upward.

as predicted.

"Bad guy!" Liu Yifei instantly fell into Li Mu's arms.

"Is your daughter full? Can't you finish the drink?" Li Mu asked softly, without stopping.

It has been more than a month, and according to the doctor, the rest period has passed.

"What are you talking about!"

Liu Yifei turned around, squeezed Li Mu gently with her little hands, buried her face in Li Mu's chest, and there seemed to be a hazy look between her brows.

Seeing this posture, what else could Li Mu not understand?
The two of them were breathing rapidly, and Li Mu quickly locked the door of the cloakroom.

Little Baozi is at Mother Liu's house at the moment, which is a good opportunity.

Liu Yifei's hazy eyes couldn't help but feel a little shy, as if she was asking Li Mu, are you here?
But the arrow is already on the string, and it doesn't matter if it's a bedroom. Besides, it's not that the bedroom has more atmosphere.

In the water and light, the two of them seemed to be a little more drunk, just like the neon lights at night are always so charming.

Early the next morning, Li Mu and Feng Xiaogang flew directly to Taipei.

The first itinerary is the opening ceremony in Taipei and the pre-screening meeting of the opening film.

People here on Baodao are already welcoming Li Mu and others.

The team was led by Hou Hsiao-hsien and Li An.

"Director Li, Director Feng welcomes you!"

The two shook hands with everyone in turn, and the media on both sides held cameras to record the scene.

"I seem to remember correctly, this should be Director Li's first time coming to Treasure Island."

Hou Hsiao-hsien said with a smile, and the staff next to him guided a few people towards the hall.

Now it’s mainly about the pre-screening meeting and opening ceremony before the screening.

"I have been too busy and have no time. Just now on the plane, Director Feng told me that Hualien is a beautiful place and I must visit it this time."

"Then Director Li will not be disappointed."

Li Jian agreed from the side.

Not to mention anything else about the cross-strait film exhibition, it was full of ceremony, and everyone even took a few photos together.

The opening of "La La Land" was in the evening. In fact, this was more of a dialogue between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

“It is indeed Director Li’s work!”

“It’s very artistic!”

"."

After the opening ceremony video was over, everyone stood up and applauded, and no one would pick a fight, because Li Mu's achievements were enough to overwhelm those who were dissatisfied.

"Cross-Strait Film Exhibition, director Li Mu appeared at the opening ceremony of Taipei with "La La Land", and the film received unanimous praise."

"The opening ceremony of "La La Land" in Taipei was well received!"

Baodao media also reported on it one after another. At the same time, exchanges between directors at the Cross-Strait Film Festival are also ongoing, but they are not public, more like private conversations.

There have been many discussions among the directors, but they still cannot do without the movie.

At this time, everyone was a little curious about Li Bian's new film.

Because according to news, "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" uses a 120-frame/4K/3D shooting format, which is a unique precedent.

Everyone was very curious about Li An's choice. After all, this was not a simple matter.

The first impact of the 120-frame/4K/3D shooting format is the unlimited increase in shooting and screening costs.

You must know that in the previous hundred years of film history, there were many films that repeatedly ran into snags because of their attempts at high frame rates (above 24 frames).

Even James Cameron, who inspired Ang Lee in 2011 by promising to cooperate with Showscan and use 60 frames/second technology to shoot "Avatar 2", also compromised because the market has not yet established a mature supporting broadcast system. Based on 48 frames/second technology.

In 2012, another technology geek Peter Jackson used 1 frames per second to shoot in "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", which became the most widely known experiment and received mixed feedback. Some people are excited about its immersive experience, while others are disgusted by its game quality.

Moreover, "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" is still a literary film, so whether it can recoup its original cost is a lot of pressure.

"120 frames is the future of movies." Li Ying said firmly, and then asked everyone, "Director Li, Director Feng, do you think it is possible that the high standard I use now will be the minimum standard in the future?"

At this moment, Li Mu finally saw Li Ying's inner rebelliousness and passion under his elegant and easy-going appearance, but this kind of rebellion was more like the result of being bewitched by something.

"It's possible according to what Director Li said, but it's just possible. It might take a terrible time."

Feng Xiaogang said calmly, since he was not speaking publicly now, he did not have much scruples in speaking. Obviously he did not agree with this concept.

Many people nodded slightly and seemed to agree with Feng Xiaogang's remarks.

Because this jump is too fast, it is still 24 frames now.

Peng Damo, Guan Hu, Yan Fei, Xiao Han and others were silent and listened silently.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Li Mu. In terms of film technology, Li Mu's research was obviously the leader among the directors present.

“I think 120-frame/4K/3D shooting format movies may become an option in the future, but it cannot replace other answers to movies.

Just like history chose Lumiere's projector instead of Reno's movable mirror and Edison's viewing box (both of which appeared much earlier than Lumiere), even though his assistant Dickson laid down the 35mm film Specification"

Li Mu obviously didn't agree with Li Ying's obsession with certainty.

In fact, he has never understood why Li Jian has been struggling here.

It's like a large-scale scam without a mastermind. The technology itself is innocent, and capital does not seem to encourage this trend. Even the projection side is not perfunctory, as if no one is at fault.

Li Bian, who was not recognized, and the audience who lost interest were both victims of this scam.

"Director Li, as a driver of 3D technology, you should know the disadvantages of 3D technology?"

Li Bian also seemed to want to debate with Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded slightly:

“3D technology can make the picture suddenly look so real, as if you are standing in the same room as the character, but when the camera is panned, there will be a strange ghost effect, which is the so-called stroboscopic and jittering.

At this time, the audience is like looking at the world through a window, but a higher frame rate can remove the glass on this window, which will give the audience an immersive experience."

While Li Mu and others were discussing, naturally, directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait gathered around. This was a discussion among the big guys and a rare learning opportunity.

Some actors are no exception. They might just get the appreciation of a certain director and take off.

Especially the four directors sitting in the middle.

Hearing Li Mu's words, Li Bing nodded in agreement.

Li Mu continued, "But I haven't seen the new film directed by Li Bian, and I don't know if I can do this."

“And this requires the theater to purchase new professional equipment. As far as I know, updating the entire set of hardware will cost nearly tens of millions.

Currently, there are only one theater in New York and Los Angeles that can screen movies in the world, and there are only three theaters in China that are specifically upgrading their equipment for movies."

At this time, everyone except Li Bian was surprised. This was probably the director's gap in technical understanding and cognition.

As expected of a boss, some directors secretly murmured in their hearts.

Most people simply have no access to equipment with higher frame rates, let alone understanding and production, because a higher-level format means a higher-level price.

Li Mu and Li Jian are the only ones here who can shoot this type of movie.

"Director Li, professional!"

Li Jin praised it repeatedly and then asked, "So Director Li doesn't think that this kind of immersive experience is the development trend of future movies?

You must know that technology is very important to movies. Paintbrushes from hundreds of years ago can still draw great works that are not outdated, but filming and projection equipment from decades ago will hold back directors and audiences.

Cameras, recording equipment, projectors, and speakers are tools that are more iterative than paintbrushes, musical instruments, and typefaces."

Li Ying's words seemed to make sense, and some people were already nodding their heads inadvertently.

"There is nothing wrong with what director Li said, but a movie cannot rely solely on technology, otherwise its lifespan and influence will be fleeting.

I have always believed that technical supremacy is a misunderstanding of the beauty of film.

The evolution of technology can enrich expression techniques, but it will not spontaneously produce artistry.

After all, film is a "total art".

It is precisely the creative beauty that is non-technical and difficult to describe objectively that makes it so charming.”

When it was Li Mu's turn to explain, another group of people at the scene nodded slightly. Obviously, what Li Mu said was reasonable.

As a result, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Feng Xiaogang, Guan Hu and others also joined the discussion.
