The movie ticket of “Drifting City: Rise” is priced at 35 yuan.

This fare is similar to the fares of offline theaters across the country, and is considered a normal door fare.

A movie ticket can only be watched once. Of course, some people complained on the Internet that using holographic glasses to watch a movie, Behemoth does not need to spend money to build physical theaters, nor does it need to spend money to invest in screens and playback equipment.

Even viewers spend their own household appliances when they watch movies.

A ticket of thirty-five yuan is the same as the ticket for the 3D hall in a movie theater, and there is no discount.

Will it be expensive?

“If it’s too expensive, you don’t need to buy it.” Some old users left a message below.

Of course, they complained and complained. They still paid for the tickets honestly.

If you are willing to spend eight thousand and six to buy a holographic glasses, how can you miss a 35 yuan one, a virtual movie they have never experienced before?

So two hours before the release of “Drifting City: Rise”, more than 40% of the nearly 20 million users of holographic glasses have already purchased tickets in advance.

…

Ignatius had already been sitting in the virtual film and television department early, with a big beer belly, now staring at the big screen with a little uneasy expression.

Even this movie has proved itself with box office data from all over the world a few months ago.

But Ignatius still didn’t give himself enough confidence at this moment, thinking that this movie would definitely be a success in China.

There was a lot of applause abroad, and even the word of mouth was blown to the gods. As a result, when it came to China, it turned out to be a mess, and the box office was so low that people couldn’t help but doubt the reality of the movie.

For example, the previous Black Panther, the North American region almost licked him to give off his magical light.

Of course~

The response in North America was mediocre, and even the crew couldn’t even make money from the investment in the limited-time filming. I thought it would definitely lose money. As a result, it exploded in Huaxia in an instant. With the help of Huaxia’s box office alone, there are also examples of making the entire crew earn a lot of money.

Such as Warcraft.

If before, Ignatius might not have been too worried, the above word-of-mouth polarization will appear in the China box office and the North American box office.

After all, even if the cultural background is different, the movie “Drifting City: Rise” still has many elements that attract Chinese fans.

As early as the first step of the Drifting City trilogy, Ignatius, in order to please China, an important ticket warehouse second only to North America, added the overweight [China Palace] Sea City to the movie. These are the three super sea cities that go hand in hand with New York and London, and the drama surrounding them has been running through the entire trilogy.

But Ignatius, who was still quite confident before, now sees that only two hours before the movie is released, but the box office has only sold 40% of the number, and he is stunned.

Ignatius quietly cast his gaze on Ye Qing who was beside him, whose expression was calm, as he had expected.

Ye Qing said with a smile: “My big director shouldn’t be so nervous. If it’s a traditional theater, this 40-plus pre-sale rate of course means movie bashing.”

“But this is a virtual theater. After the movie is officially released at 6 pm, users can start watching from the beginning no matter when they buy tickets, and they don’t have to worry about full seats.”

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

The truth is this, Ignatius put his movie in the virtual world for the first time in his life.

This is a huge gamble.

Success will mean that director Ignatius will become the first leader in Hollywood to start the virtual era.

After that, his success will inevitably attract the attention of the whole Hollywood. He will be the most dazzling director in Hollywood. Then, even if you want to film angels and demons, there will be a large number of investors crying to join in. .

If you fail…

He will completely offend the entire Huaxia film industry. In order to calm the anger of the Huaxia film industry, it is possible for the investors to replace the directors of the lower films.

Ignatius’ goal is one billion.

As long as one billion is passed, he can use this data to thoroughly convince investors and make them aware of the brilliant prospects of holographic glasses in the future, and they can unscrupulously turn against China’s traditional film and television industry.

“How about… Mr. Ye, let’s go into the virtual world and have a look?”

“What are you looking at?”

“If you look at the box office, you can watch it here.” Ye Qing was a little strange, as Ignatius sent the original film in advance for the virtual film and television department to perform technical processing, so that the film is more in line with holographic glasses. When the effect was played, Ignatius had already watched the processed movie.

Ye Qing remembered that after reading it, this guy was still so confident as to let me go to heaven.

“I want to take a quiet look at the reactions of users first.” Ignatius couldn’t help it. He seemed to have returned to the moment when the first movie in his life was released twenty years ago.

At that time, he sneaked into the movie theater, squeezed in the most crowded place around, and waited fearfully for the audience to comment.

“But there are still two hours before the movie is released.”

Ignatius asked later: “Then…then wait no more?”

This is another hour.

Ignatius was even more nervous, because the box office pre-sale only reached 57%.

According to the experience of traditional theaters, 57% of the pre-sales have already hit the sky.

Hollywood blockbusters are usually released from noon on the day they are shown on traditional theaters. The number of other movies being released that day was greatly compressed, and they were scheduled until midnight.

If every movie is regarded as a pre-sale, then the pre-sale of the movie ticket accounted for that day, only if it exceeds 500%, it is considered a successful start.

After a while, Ignatius couldn’t sit still.

Only 30 minutes before the movie was released, the box office pre-sales only reached 64%.

He extended an invitation to Ye Qing again, but Ye Qing could only point to his holographic glasses.

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

Because according to the previous movie experience, the pre-sale ratio should now be at least 75%.

After dozens of seconds, Ye Qinghe went to the director Ignatius and passed through the gate of a super palace that could not be described too much in any gorgeous language.

In order to let users get the most exciting movie-watching experience, the technicians of Behemoth Industry deliberately moved the super sea city [Huaxia Palace] in the movie into virtual reality according to this movie. A virtual theater that users can choose.

In fact, as early as the national entertainment activities, Behemoth Industry concealed a wave of advertisements for “Drifting City: Rise”.

The sea super palace that gathered all the active users at the beginning was modeled after the design of the palace.

But the palace city in the movie, the palace is only a part of it, or just the most representative building.

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

After the white light disappeared, the director Ignatius was stunned.

Even Ye Qing was a little surprised.

Because the Super Palace, which was moved intact from the movie, has become a Disneyland.

people.

Densely densely packed with people.

There are so many people that the graphics card can’t afford it, and they can only be replaced with fuzzy gray shadows.

In the virtual world, the great director Ignatius is certainly not afraid of being known, so he casually found a cartoon-dressed user around him to strike up a conversation in English, saying that the movie is about to start, why don’t you go to the palace to buy tickets? , Are you not looking forward to this movie?

This user happened to be good at English, and he said in a nosy-sounding tone, “Funny foreigner, when can’t I watch it? The Huaxia Palace is so shocking, of course I will play it again first.”

Ignatius asked several other users, but they couldn’t understand English at all.

Then Ignatius simply guarded the gate of the super palace behind him.

There is a row of ticket gates in front of the gate.

To enter the palace, you must show a virtual ticket.

Ignatius continued to interview passers-by. Even a few who can speak English will become the majority in the face of the number of millions of users.

Following the interview, Ignatius was very happy.

Because almost all the interviewees expressed their special expectations for this movie, the reason for not buying tickets so early, and most of them are when you can buy tickets. First, take a stroll around the Huaxia Palace, or wait for the takeaway brother to deliver snacks. After you come, it’s not too late to buy.

In addition, Ignatius also asked them whether they were satisfied with the fare price, and most users said it was acceptable.

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

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

Therefore, their clothing and taste will also be directly reflected on the cartoon characters.

What attracted the actor Ignatius’ eyes was the clever body language of these three users.

Their hands hanging down on both sides of their thighs are shaking slightly like in real life. They are flexible, unlike those low-profile users who can only lift their legs mechanically.

These are three local tyrant users wearing the full version of the Yuanshen suit.
