Chapter 724： Defects of three-D technology

For the perennially dry Los Angeles, summer is a difficult season. It’s good to go out occasionally. If you are doing strenuous exercise, you must make sufficient preparations in advance, or simply choose air-conditioned indoor sports, such as billiards and table tennis. such as. \\　.

"Boo~"

There was a crisp collision sound, the white ball hit the black number eight with great accuracy, and the black ball fell straight into the bottom pocket. The tall girl who had just straightened up high-five to celebrate with Scarlett, and shouted, "yes!"

"You two lost again!" Gal Gado said to Natalie, who was holding the cue. "Three sets of two wins. We won two games in a row, Nat."

"It looks like..." Natalie squeezed the cue into Ryan's hand next to her, "I lack athleticism."

"You think too much."

After passing by Gal Gado, Ryan took away the clubs in her and Scarlett’s hands. After placing them, he continued to say to Natalie, “When you come back from Australia, you often get distracted. Is there a situation? Or is the director Sophia finally turned into a female tyrant on the set?"

"You guessed all wrong."

Scarlett picked up Natalie and Gail Gado, and walked to the corner of the entertainment room. From her refrigerator, she took out the three boxes of cream ice cream that she had put in, and handed them to them. Ryan said, “Nate has been thinking about new movies recently. This time she is both the director and the starring role, and it’s a lot of pressure.”

"Sufficient funds." Ryan sat next to Natalie, "You can also go to New York to shoot on the spot. Jenkins Pictures has already contacted a theater."

"Don't worry." Natalie dug up a large spoonful of ice cream and put it into Ryan's mouth. "I'm just thinking about some shooting techniques. This is different from the bright style of "127 Hours", and tends to be darker. Change."

"It's better to make a 3D movie." Gail Gado put down the box of ice cream and came up with a bad idea. "The 3d version of "Wonder Woman 2", the 3d version of "The Hunger Games 2", plus the 3d version of "Black Swan"..."

Presumably noticing the weird eyes of the other three people looking at him, the long-legged girl blinked, "Don't you think this is a good idea?"

"Gail." Scarlett wiped off the white cream on the corners of her mouth directly with the back of her hand, "I think it is better than your idea to let Nat use the imax3d camera to shoot the whole process!"

"Wonder Woman 2 plans a full imax3d shot for only about 25 minutes." Gal Gado pointed to the cream on the corner of Scarlett's other mouth, "There is..."

After Scarlett wiped it off, she said again, "It is said that "Transformers" has only 30 minutes of full imax3d shots. If this is the case, "Black Swan" will set a record."

"You two..." Ryan couldn't help but shook his head. He knew that the two girls were just joking. It’s not difficult to nominate a beautiful supporting actress or something."

After speaking, he glanced at Gail Gaddo again. "Excluding you, Gail."

Although Gail Gado has become popular throughout the United States since "Wonder Woman", it is the same as most actors who are models. She has no problem dealing with a role like Princess Diana, and she needs more training and accumulation if she wants to show more acting skills.

Besides, she has a different background from Scarlett Johansson's literary young women. The first movie in life is a commercial superhero movie that can no longer be commercial, except for the Youth Choice Award and the Saturn Award, and the performance awards on the mainstream awards. There is little hope in the short term.

"I think the Saturn Award for Best Actress is also good." Gail Gado said with a smile, "I don't have much pursuit in this aspect."

The four people joked and laughed, and Natalie took the initiative to change the subject, "Ryan, do you think 3D and imax technology will definitely develop?"

"You have all seen imax3d movies." Ryan lightly tapped the table, "How do you feel stimulated for the senses?"

"It's okay." Natalie sipped the ice cream. "If you look at it for a long time, your eyes will be very tired."

"It's pretty good." This is Scarlett Johansson. "I like "Polar Express" very much."

"Very exciting!" Gal Gado gave a few examples. "I went to watch it when filming "Wonder Woman 2" in Washington, and the audience was full of praise for the visual effects of "Jurassic Park 3". ."

"If the audience has demand, it will bring market revenue." Ryan opened his mouth and ate the ice cream sent by Natalie. "In the next few years, these two technologies will be greatly developed, and there will even be a movie. Use imax3d to reach a peak that has never been seen before."

"You're not talking about "Transformers", right?" Scarlett knew that Ryan's peak must be commercial achievements. "Could this robot war surpass "Titanic" at the box office?"

"Not "Transformers."

The person who answered the conversation was Natalie, but there was also an outsider in the strict sense of Gael Gado in the field. She couldn't help but look over here. After Ryan nodded slightly, she continued, "Scarlett, You should know that James Cameron had a big plan since a few years ago."

"So." Scarlett understood immediately. "The Tyrant James, are you ready to prepare the story of the alien?"

"Actually."

Ryan guessed that 80% of the little fat girl heard from Taylor, "Disney Pictures yesterday allocated $100 million in advance funds."

A few days ago, Disney’s routine board of directors discussed James Cameron’s project. Ryan naturally fully supported him. He will also serve as a producer. What did his collaboration with the studio tyrant last time? Fans all over the world basically know that the board of directors passed this resolution almost as quickly as possible.

Of course, what is currently determined is only the preliminary production cost. According to James Cameron's own estimation, the film will not be released without three years, and the time for publicity is not yet effective.

"May I ask..." Gail Gado was very curious, "How much is Director Cameron going to spend this time?"

"His current estimate is 200 million U.S. dollars." Ryan made a gesture that everyone understands. "There will definitely be additional production costs in the later period, and it should not exceed 300 million U.S. dollars."

He clearly remembered that the production cost of the film in the previous life was not very high. Compared with "Superman Returns", it's a lot worse.

"What's the future of 3d movies, I don't know." Scarlett Johansson poked the ice cream in the box with a spoon, and the topic turned back. "But I know, "Jurassic Park 3" relies on 3d and imax to obtain A great success."

"In the past few years, the equipment side has been vigorously promoting these two technologies." Ryan said the most basic fact. "The number of 3D screens and imax theaters is the basis for the success of "Jurassic Park 3."

After nearly two years of development, both the 3D screen and the imax cinema have more than doubled the number when the original "Polar Express" was released.

"I remember listening to you." Natalie frowned slightly. Looking at Ryan, "The 3D technology currently used seems to have many flaws."

"Yes." Ryan nodded first, "You should know the principles of 3D movies?"

Scarlett and Gail Gado shook their heads at the same time, and Ryan had no choice but to say, “In the simplest and most common terms, the current 3D technology allows the audience to wear special glasses and see the left and right sides of the same object through the left and right lenses. Two portraits on the right, so as to restore the flat movie screen to a three-dimensional sense. But this is easy to cause a problem. If the viewing time is too long, it will cause dizziness or headaches for some people."

"This is the analysis of the medical experts we hired." He pointed to his eyes. "If people’s eyes are slow to receive the picture, they will be conditioned and want to catch up with the changes in the picture. At this time, they need to ‘emergency call’ more brain power. Many people feel uncomfortable because of this."

"In addition, I think you should be able to think of it." Ryan continued, "Watching this kind of film too often. It is not good for teenagers, especially the eyes of developing children."

"Then why promote this flawed..."

Before he finished speaking, Gail Gado realized he had asked a silly question and smiled embarrassedly.

"I will answer you, Gail."

With a light cough, Scarlett took out a few commercial cells, "We have discussed the defects of high ticket prices and dark colors in 3D movies before, but the high ticket price is actually an advantage of 3D movies. At least for the theaters."

She looked at Ryan, Ryan gave her an encouraging smile, and the little chubby girl immediately said again, “Compared with traditional 2d movies, the stereoscopic effect of 3d movies is the most powerful advantage, and home projection equipment is not yet available. 3D technology is popular, so going to the theater to watch 3D movies is almost the only option."

"In order to pursue higher commercial profits, so..." The little fat girl shrugged playfully.

Ryan gave Scarlett a thumbs up Now the situation is not bad, wait a few years, whether it is North America, or the theater on the other side of the Pacific, even if there is a 2d version, Often only the 3d version of the movie is scheduled to be shown. For example, the previous life "Alice in Wonderland" was released and screened in 2d and 3d, but most of the theaters he knew only released the 3d version. The big reason was that the 3d ticket was expensive. , The profit is also higher.

Merchants are born for profit.

After having dinner at Scarlett’s house, Ryan and Natalie stayed until late before passing through the door connecting the two gardens and returning to Natalie’s villa.

"I'm going to New York in a few days."

The two of them walked slowly towards the villa along the path in the garden. Natalie held Ryan’s hand and swayed gently, "My friend introduced me to a ballet choreographer. I’m going to see you there. see."

"Take care of yourself." Ryan nodded her pointed chin. "You are thin again. Just leave the film preparation to the executive producer."

"I know." Natalie leaned close to him, "but some preparations require the director's personal participation." (To be continued...) ()
