Monster Factory

Drifting Cities: Rise tickets sell for 35 yuan.

This fare is similar to those of the offline theaters in the country, and it's a very normal ticket price.

One ticket can only be viewed once, and of course some people complain online about watching movies with holographic glasses, and Giant Beast Industries doesn't have to pay to build physical exhibitors or invest in screens and playback equipment.

Even the audience spends their own appliances watching movies.

Thirty-five bucks a ticket, just like 3D Hall tickets at the cinema, without even a discount.

Is it expensive?

“If it's expensive, you can't buy it.” There are old users commenting below.

Of course they complained and they honestly paid for the tickets.

How can you possibly miss $35 a movie, a virtual movie they've never experienced, for $8,600 to buy a hologram?

So two hours away from the screening of Drifting Cities: Rise, more than 40% of the nearly 20 million holographic users have purchased tickets in advance.

……

Ignatius had already sat in the virtual film and television department early, holding onto him with a big beer belly, and now he was staring at the big screen with some distress.

Even this film proved itself a few months ago with box office data from around the globe.

Ignatius is still not confident enough that the film will succeed in Huaxia.

A good call from abroad, even the reputation was blown to the throne, but in Hua Xia, the box office was so low that it was intolerable to suspect the reality of the movie example was not without.

For example, the black leopard, the North American region had to lick him to emit divine light.

Naturally ~

The response was even in North America, and even the crew couldn't earn back their investment in shooting for a limited time, which they thought was definitely a loss. The result was a flash of fire in Huaxia. The Huaxia ticket office alone made the entire crew earn a full pot of pelvic land.

Demonic beast, for example.

If Ignatius may not be too worried before then, the Huaxia Box Office and North American Box Office will be highly divided.

After all, even if the cultural context is different, "Drifting Cities: Rise" still has many attractive elements in the film.

Already in the first step of the drifting city trilogy, Ignatius added the overweight [Palazzo Huaxia] maritime city to the movie to please Huaxia, an important ticket bin after North America. This is three super seafaring cities that run alongside New York, London, and the whole trilogy runs around their plays.

But Ignatius, who was previously confident, is now watching the movie only two hours away, and the box office has pre-sold only 40 percent of the number, pounding on the drums.

Ignatius quietly focused his eyes on Ye Qing, who looked proud and unexpected.

“Don't be so nervous," Ye Qing laughed. "If it's a traditional exhibitor, the pre-sale rate of these 40 means movie flutter, of course. ”

“However, this is a virtual exhibition, and once the movie is officially released at 6pm, users can always buy tickets from scratch and don't worry about the seats being full. ”

“So users usually like to buy tickets within the last half hour. ”

The truth is, Ignatius is the first time in his life that he's put his film in a virtual world.

It's a huge gamble.

Success will mean that Director Ignatius will be Hollywood's first leader to start a virtual era.

After that, his success will surely draw the attention of Hollywood as a whole, and he will be Hollywood's most dazzling flag director, with a huge number of investors crying to join even if they want to shoot angels and demons.

Failure…

He will completely offend the entire Huaxia film industry, and it is possible for the investor to change the director of the next film in order to quell Huaxia's anger.

The Ignatius target is one billion.

With just a billion dollars, he can completely convince investors with this data that holographic glasses are a brilliant prospect for the future and can flip with the traditional Huaxia film and television industry without any hesitation.

“Why don't we go into the virtual world too, Mr. Ye? ”

“Look at what? ”

“If you look in the box office, just look here.” Ye Qing was somewhat strange, and Ignatius had already seen the processed film when Ignatius had sent the original film in advance and had the virtual film and television department handle it technically to make the film more compatible with holographic glasses.

Ye Qing remembered that after watching, this guy was still in the heavens and earth, and who was as confident as I was obsessed.

“I'd like to take a quick look at the users' reactions first.” Ignatius was a little overwhelmed, as if he had returned to the first film in his life 20 years ago.

At that time, he snuck into the cinema and squeezed into the most crowded place around him, eagerly awaiting the audience's review.

“But it's two hours away from the movie. ”

Ignatius hesitated to ask: "So... should we wait any longer? ”

This is, like, another hour.

Ignatius was even more nervous because of the 57% advance sale of the box office.

According to traditional exhibitor experience, 57% of pre-sales have gone to heaven.

Large Hollywood films usually start at noon on the day they are shown on traditional estates. The number of other films being shown that day was considerably compressed until midnight.

If every movie is considered a pre-sale, only more than 500% of the tickets pre-sold on that day will be successfully opened.

After a moment Ignatius couldn't sit down at all.

Only thirty minutes before the movie shows, the box office pre-sells to 64%.

He invited Ye Qing again. There was no way for Ye Qing to refer only to his holographic glasses.

To be honest, Ye Qing also feels that this pre-sale number is a bit low.

Because based on the previous film experience, the minimum pre-sale ratio should now be as high as 75%.

After dozens of seconds, Ye Qing and went to the great director Ignatius to cross a super palace door that could not be described in any gorgeous language.

In order to give users the most exciting viewing experience, the Giant Beast Industry technicians deliberately moved the film's [Huaxia Palace], a super maritime city, into virtual reality and became a virtual cinema of choice for users.

In fact, a wave of advertisements for "Drifting Cities: Rise" had been implicitly advertised by the giant animal industry long before the national entertainment event.

The original super maritime palace, which gathered all active users, imitated the design of the palace number.

But the palace city in the movie, the palace is only part of its land, or just one of the most representative buildings.

In addition to the palace, it has a residential living area larger than the deck of twenty aircraft carriers and countless weapons of war that surround the entire maritime city.

When the white light disappeared, the great director Ignatius was stunned.

Even Ye Qing was somewhat surprised.

Because on the Super Palace, which was never moved from the movie, it turned into Disneyland.

People.

dense and numb is human.

There are too many people on the graphics card to afford, only a blurry grey shadow can replace it.

In the virtual world, the big director Ignatius was certainly not afraid of being recognized, so he randomly approached a user dressed as a cartoon in English, saying that the movie was about to start, why don't you go to the palace and buy tickets, don't you expect this movie?

This user happens to have good English, and he says in a tone that you don't care about, “When can't I see a strange foreigner? The Huaxia Palace is such a shock, of course I'll play it again. ”

Ignatius did not feel comfortable asking several other users, who did not understand English at all.

Then Ignatius simply stood behind the super palace door behind him.

There is a sliding ticket checker in front of the gate.

In order to enter the palace, a virtual ticket must be presented.

Ignatius continues to interview passers-by, and even a few who speak English can become the majority in the face of these millions of user numbers.

Ignatius was in a good mood with the interview.

Since almost all interviewees expressed particular expectations for the film, the reason why they bought tickets so early was that most of them were always available at any time. Take a look at the Huaxia Palace or wait for the takeaway brother to bring the snacks before buying them later.

Ignatius also asked if they were satisfied with the fare and most users indicated that it was acceptable.

Ignatius wanted to end the interview, and then he saw three very old users suddenly walking in front of him.

In the virtual world, users can match their clothes at will.

So the taste of their clothes is also very intuitive on the cartoon characters.

Attracting Ignatius's gaze, these three users are full of inspiring body language.

They droop their hands on both sides of their thighs, shaking slightly as they do in real life, and they walk flexibly, unlike those who use low-profile versions, they can only lift their legs mechanically.

These are the three millionaire users wearing the full version of the Metamorphosis suit.
