Chapter 132: Chapter 131: Goblin Slayer premiere begins
Shion didn't know what the 45° of the new house meant. After all, this genius supervisor was currently having a great time in the inner world under the alias of [Juhachi Minamizawa].
Although Shinbo has already completed his famous work "The Soul Taker ~Soul Hunter~", he can only be said to have just started to show his talents at this time.
"Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha", which really made Shinbo popular, has not even been approved for an animation project yet. As for Shinbo's three core works, namely, the unique stream of consciousness, the money-saving flow, and the original collapse flow, they are currently unknown.
Perhaps people who have seen the works directed by Mr.Juhachi Minamizawa would know, but until now no one knows that they are the same person.
"I heard from Ryougi that you seem to like this specially made giant screen very much?"
Before the movie started, Shion secretly asked Nanaya.
"Yes, don't you think such huge screens will be the mainstream of commercial movies in the future?" Nanaya said very presciently, "We all know that after the rise of television, the film industry is no longer as popular as it was in the 1960s and 1970s. Especially with the development of the Internet, people can watch a movie at home at any time. In this case, the advantages of IMAX's huge screen with extraordinary special effects can be reflected. This sense of shock is not something that a small screen at home can provide."
"You mean, you think that audiences will choose this special screen specifically for better effects in the future?"
"Yes, and most importantly..." Nanaya whispered in Shion's ear, "Movie tickets can be sold at a higher price, and the theater can accommodate more people."
Shion looked around at the packed theaters. She felt that if this theater could be always full, it would be a good thing for the film producers at least based on these two points.
"But building this theater is not cheap. Both the space and the equipment are very expensive."
Because Nanaya specially produced the IMAX version of the screening format, Shion also learned a little about the related matters.
"Is this IMAX screen effect you mentioned really that amazing?" Shion was a little skeptical. Although the huge screen could indeed bring a sense of shock to people, what Nanaya said was a bit too exaggerated.
"It's not a question of whether it's powerful or not. Well... you'll know when you see it later."
Nanaya himself didn't know how to express it, because the shocking feeling of IMAX movies can only be realized after experiencing it yourself.
In his previous life, Nanaya only watched the IMAX version of "The Dark Knight Rises" once by chance, but since then he has been a staunch IMAX fan.
Except for Japanese anime theatrical films that do not have IMAX versions, he will give priority to IMAX for most commercial films as long as there is an IMAX version to choose from.
"Really?"
Shion grumbled to herself, she still didn't quite believe Nanaya's answer.
However, for Shion, the most important thing at the moment is to watch the movie.
Because Goblin Slayer has already begun.
When the theater fell into darkness and the big screen lit up, the originally noisy theater became much quieter.
But if you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of drinking beverages. Fortunately, the premiere only prepared beverages for the audience, and no fried foods like popcorn, otherwise the chewing sounds would have been even louder.
But soon the noisy voices disappeared, because IMAX's unique 10-second countdown from black and white to color left all the audience stunned.
Especially when the last slogan that best reflects the characteristics of IMAX, "Watch a movie, or enter a movie", appeared in front of people, the audience in the theater subconsciously chose the latter under the shocking sound effects and clear pictures.
"Great, this is exactly the picture I wanted..."
Nanaya heard Peter Jackson's whisper of praise on his right. "Maybe I can also release IMAX versions of the last two Lord of the Rings movies."
Nanaya is also looking forward to Peter Jackson's idea. He estimates that this wish is unlikely to come true because New Line will never agree to it.
This is not a malicious speculation by Nanaya, but a factual basis. Movies shown in IMAX theaters must be divided into corresponding revenues for IMAX, and this proportion increases as the utilization rate of IMAX equipment increases with the format of the movie source.
How could the stingy New Line agree to share part of its profits with IMAX?
In Nanaya's memory, after IMAX became popular in 2010, New Line released several large commercial films, including The Hobbit trilogy, Rampage and Shazam, but none of them adopted IMAX's full-frame ratio. Moreover, only Shazam provided 12.0 channels, which shows what New Line's attitude towards IMAX is.
Nanaya believes that if IMAX had not become the standard for blockbuster movies, New Line might not even want to make an IMAX version.
[So if this ** company didn't have the support of Warner Bros., would it have gone bankrupt the next day? ]
Looking at the Lin Bao logo appearing on the screen, Nanaya couldn't help but mourn for Fatty Peter for a second.
I have to say that IMAX's opening scene is indeed very shocking, which immediately focuses the audience's attention on the movie screen.
Although the opening animation of the Linbao logo and Washimine is much worse than the IMAX opening, it may not be a bad thing to calm down a little after experiencing such an exciting scene just now.
The first thing shown at the beginning of the movie is the sacred golden triangle logo. Just when William and other viewers thought that there would be a voice-over telling the history of the world of Hyrule like in "The Lord of the Rings", the background gradually began to dim.
At the same time, the triangle logo began to become three-dimensional, and soon the logo turned into a pendant hanging on the hat, and the owner of the hat was the heroine of the movie - the priestess played by Luvia.
There is no voice-over, no huge and complex world setting. The shot that is directly presented to the audience is the priestess running in the cave with the female magician.
Accompanied by the tense and exciting back music, the priestess dragged her companion and ran in the cave.
The beautiful woman in a white hat looked very nervous. She looked behind her from time to time, as if she was avoiding something.
Suddenly, a strange cry was heard from behind the priestess.
The startled priestess quickly looked into the dark cave behind her, but she couldn't see anything clearly in the dim light.
In the blur, the audience and the priestess seemed to see a few small black shadows flash by in the cave.
As if stimulated by something, the priestess was so scared that she immediately turned her head and ran forward quickly.
But from the depths of the cave came a wailing sound that sounded like a woman begging, followed by the sound of various weapons rubbing against each other.
The priestess did not look back, she ran forward with tears in her eyes. Even though she was shaking all over, she still ran towards the cave entrance.
"Interesting."
When Peter Jackson saw this, he couldn't help but smack his lips.
As a film director, Peter Jackson is also a film fanatic. This section has no dialogue at the beginning, and coupled with the goblin monster that has not yet revealed its true face, this young director friend of mine created a very tense and exciting atmosphere at the beginning.
"Nice camera language."
Peter Jackson commented.
Then the priestess seemed to be tripped by something while running, and she knelt on the ground and cried silently.
At this moment, the camera suddenly switched to the distance, and the picture seemed to be looking at the priestess from the perspective of some creature looking up at the priestess in the distance from a low position.
Then the camera quickly moved closer to the priestess, and it seemed that the owner of the sight was sprinting towards the priestess.
Accompanied by the whistling sound, the priestess turned back in horror, and then she did something that I'm afraid every girl in the movie would do - she let out a long, prolonged scream.
"ah------!"
It wasn't just Luvia on the screen who screamed, but also several girls in the theater.
Fortunately, the sound effects of IMAX theaters are powerful, and the sound did not cover up the sound effects of the movie.
"So, was there anything scary just now?"
Shion didn't quite understand some of it, so she had to ask. Isn't there a movie expert around her?
"I was just letting out some emotion. I guess I was too nervous just now."
Nanaya pinched his nose, he couldn't understand why a girl would scream. Although he did create a tense and exciting atmosphere, he didn't give any scary shots, it was just to stir people's emotions.
You know, the really exciting scenes are yet to come.
A few seats away from Nanaya, Luvia and Rin were fighting with each other.
Because the scream just now was made by Luvia, and the reason she screamed was because of Rin.
Just now, when the plot reached the most critical moment, Rin suddenly blew gently into Luvia's ear.
This was obviously not a good experience for Luvia, who had already brought her emotions into the screen, and she screamed immediately due to the stimulation.
Influenced by Luvia, several nervous girls around her couldn't help but scream out.
"You damned redneck!"
Feeling that she had made a fool of herself, Luvia would certainly not let Rin go.
"That tasted good, didn't it, Golden Drill?"
Rin said stubbornly. After Luvia led everyone to scream, she knew in her heart that she had gone too far in her joke.
But how could Rin apologize to the aggressive Luvia? Losing the fight is not losing the battle. How could your Miss Tohsaka lose to the woman from the Edelfeldt family?
Fortunately, Rin and Luvia were relatively restrained. Even though they were fighting each other, they were somewhat aware that this was a public place, so they just "tangled" in their own seats and did not disturb others.
I guess so.
The scene in the cave on the screen ended long ago with Luvia's scream.
With a flash of white light, the scene on the screen switched to half an hour ago.
In front of a cave entrance, an adventure team consisting of one man and three women were preparing to explore inside.
These four adventurers look very young, but each of them looks like a protagonist, especially the swordsman, the only boy in the team, who looks like a brave or heroic figure in a traditional story.
However, the audience can still recognize that the one in white clothes is the priestess who just fled, and the short-haired girl wearing a black wizard hat is the female magician who was just dragged away by the priestess.
However, in the opening shot, the woman kept her head down and did not show her face. Only now did the audience get a clear look at this short-haired girl wearing glasses and looking a bit heroic.
"So, the plot later is that the four of them are in danger?"
Peter Jackson rubbed his chin. Seeing the obvious contrast between the two women's appearances in the opening scene, he became curious about what would happen next.
Although Peter participated in the filming of the battle with the trolls, it was just a short segment. There was no way the crew of "Goblin Slayer" could reveal the entire plot to an outsider like him.
Peter Jackson, whose curiosity was aroused by Nanaya, was a little curious. He wanted to know what kind of monster this team of adventurers encountered that led to the tragic situation just now?
"So, how will you let the story develop, Kiryu?"
