At the same time, huge waves rose on the surface of the sea, and the hearts of the countless audience members below were also in turmoil.
It's over, it's over!
The huge waves rushed toward the Parrot at a speed of hundreds of knots.
The Parrot was only traveling at 35 knots, and it was not at full speed.
Screams rose and fell in the virtual theater. The camera, which had been moving with the huge waves, quickly moved to the Parrot and finally fixed on the faces of the civilians who were frightened by the sudden change.
Boom!
The next moment, the huge waves rushed toward the Parrot and drowned it with thunderous force.
The audience didn't quite believe that the protagonist would die with the moving city at sea so soon after the movie started.
But the huge waves covered the Parrot, and the audience couldn't find a reason why the moving city could continue to survive.
Maybe the city sank, and the protagonist and supporting characters escaped in a lifeboat?
This kind of desperate situation had appeared more than once in movies in the past.
When the black shadow of the Intrepid New York pressed not far from where the Parrot collided with the huge waves, the monstrous waves on the sea gradually calmed down.
Countless audience members were surprised to find that the Parrot was still floating on the sea. Its deck was still splashing water everywhere, but the surface was intact.
What's going on?
The Intrepid New York didn't believe it and lifted the steel fins again.
The same monstrous waves appeared.
This time, the camera turned to the Parrot's combat command room. Countless audience members finally understood the secret of the Parrot's intact state.
Just as the huge waves were about to approach the Parrot, the protagonist operated the weapon platform and launched depth charges the size of small boats toward the huge waves.
The depth charges were shot into a barrage. The depth charges, which had been set in advance to explode, instantly burst into bright flames as soon as they drilled into the huge waves.
First, they were compressed inward. When pressed to the limit by the water pressure, they were mixed with an unstoppable shock wave that spread outward.
In the face of this terrifying weapon developed by humans specifically to attack submarines cruising the dark sea, the huge waves hundreds of meters high became more fragile than bubbles.
The barrage of depth charges tore a huge hole in the huge waves, just big enough to accommodate the Parrot.
"Wow!"
Countless audience members broke free from their worries and shouted loudly in excitement.
…
Two and a half hours later, "Rise of the Drifting City" came to an end.
The movie ended, but countless audiences were reluctant to leave the theater.
This was because in these two and a half hours, the audience had experienced the visual shock of a virtual movie for the first time. For the first time, he discovered that there was actually a kind of movie that could make people feel so immersive, and experience a magnificent feeling from the depths of their souls that they had never experienced before.
Many of the audience here had seen the first movie, the urban comedy movie produced by Qingyu Media.
However, that movie was only a 2D version. Even though it had been modified by the Virtual Film and Television Department, it still could not meet the virtual requirements.
It could only allow the audience to escape the constraints of the traditional screen frame and the rigid two-dimensional plane. In terms of three-dimensional and immersive feeling, it couldn't be compared to a real virtual movie.
The movie "Floating City: Rise" was different.
It was made using IMAX technology. This technology was known as the "ultimate movie experience" in the film and television industry before holographic glasses appeared. So far, only Hollywood had the technology to play with it.
This kind of dual-track movie had the ultra-high definition and ultra-high color that made ordinary movies flinch. After being transformed by the technicians, it was presented to the audience through the holographic glasses.
The audience exploded.
This was not watching a movie. It was clearly from the perspective of God, admiring a sci-fi legend that happened on the ocean from a condescending position.
What 3D movie, what IMAX movie?
In front of a virtual movie, they were like the black and white television of 50 years ago. Even if it was free, people did not have the desire to take a second look.
After the movie ended, not only did the audience explode, but the insiders in the film and television industry who had been paying attention to the release of this movie for a long time also exploded.
The movie "Floating City: Rise" gave them a shocking viewing experience, and at the same time, it made them completely realize. When the traditional movie mode was faced with the virtual movie of the holographic glasses, it would only be beaten to the point of being unable to fight back.
So …
In order to continue to survive, should they choose to unite and fight against the virtual world of Monster Industries, or should they actively seek opportunities to better adapt their works to the development of technology?
8: 45 PM.
Ignatius had been sitting in the virtual theater for more than ten minutes, but he still could not bear to leave.
After enjoying the movie, Ignatius could no longer control his emotions. The corners of his eyes were a little wet. "Mr. Ye, this is a movie. This is the ultimate experience that filmmakers like us strive for. "
"Then it has to be a good story." Ye Qing had already left for a few minutes. When he saw Ignatius sitting there in a daze, he came back in.
Ignatius kept shaking his head. "No, no, no."
"Mr. Ye, in fact, in our Hollywood director circle, there have always been two opinions that have been arguing endlessly."
"One is the plot stream, and the other is the special effects stream."
"The plot stream believes that whether a movie is good or bad is related to the plot of the movie, the core idea of the movie, and the kind of value orientation and humanistic spirit that the entire movie story expresses to the audience."
Ignatius laughed slightly self-deprecatingly. "Those people believe that this kind of spirit, whether it is darkness or light. As long as it can be deeply expressed, it is a success. "
"The special effects stream is simpler and more crude."
"They believe that special effects are the biggest factor that determines whether a movie is good or bad. In order to pursue perfect special effects, they are willing to try any seemingly absurd ideas. Some directors even brought the entire crew to Russia in order to perfectly simulate a few minutes of weightlessness in the movie. They rented the kind of weightless flight simulator specially used to train astronauts. "
"Then which stream do you stand on?"
"Me?" Ignatius scratched his head. "Of course I'm more optimistic about the special effects stream."
"Facts have proven that the only thing that can really ignite the enthusiasm of the global audience is the special effects stream."
"Different cultural backgrounds lead to different viewings. It is almost impossible for the plot stream to please the global audience, but perfect special effects can."
"With top-notch special effects and a story that is not too awkward, you can reap a huge box office."
"I almost forgot about the box office if you didn't mention it." Ye Qing laughed and patted Ignatius on the shoulder. "Do you know what happened in the ten minutes after the movie ended?"
Ignatius shook his head.
Ye Qing told him that in the ten minutes, nearly ten million tickets for "Floating City: Rise" were sold.
Ten million tickets …
In the ten minutes, nearly a third of the users chose to watch it a second time.
Of course, most of the people who watched it a second time were holographic glasses users who bought tickets for the people around them. This could be seen from the server data that was responsible for the authentication of the holographic glasses ID.
In the ten minutes, "Floating City: Rise" broke the Hua Xia single-day box office record set by the virtual cinema not long ago.
