At 8 pm on November 6th, at the Universal Cinema in Los Angeles.
Xiao Yunhai held a grand premiere with the main cast of "2012".
It was said to be grand, but in fact, there were more celebrities invited. Moreover, they were all invited by Universal Pictures. There were dozens of Hollywood A-listers and above.
After walking the red carpet, they came to the cinema. Everyone put on their 3D glasses curiously.
The movie lasted for more than two hours. At least 30 exclamations sounded in the cinema where Xiao Yunhai was.
Especially when they saw the huge tsunami rushing toward them, the 100-story skyscrapers collapsing in front of them, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other disasters, everyone felt a strong sense of excitement and nervousness.
Some timid girls took off their glasses halfway through the movie and cried in their seats. However, after a while, they put their glasses back on and continued watching.
When the movie ended, Xiao Yunhai, Liang Hui, Yu Yuexian, and the other main cast members bowed to everyone in unison. There was an overwhelming applause.
"No wonder '2012' can cause such a big sensation in the world. This immersive feeling is amazing."
"Shocking. This is the most shocking movie I have ever seen."
"Previously, I was wondering how an excellent movie like 'Resident Evil' could be overshadowed by '2012'. Now I understand that the two are not on the same level at all."
"3D movies will definitely take the world by storm. I can almost see Xiao becoming the richest man in the world because of 3D. "
All the filmmakers praised Xiao Yunhai's "2012". The fans who finished watching the movie were even more excited.
"Sir, what do you think of '2012'?" A reporter asked with a microphone.
"This is the best movie I have ever seen. There is no other movie. I never thought that movies could give people such a realistic experience. When I saw the terrible tsunami coming toward me, it really scared me. The 3D technology is amazing. "
"If you were to give a score to this movie, how much would you give it?"
"Ten points. Definitely ten points."
"This student, what do you think of the movie '2012'? If you were to give a score, how much would you give? "
A student with a face full of pimples said excitedly, "Do you still need to say it? It must be ten points. It was too awesome. This was not a movie at all. It should be called a real experience of the end of the world. Xiao Zhen is amazing. I'll always be his fan. "
"Between Resident Evil and 2012, which one do you think is better?"
"Resident Evil is one of the best 2D movies. It's very good. On the other hand, "2012" was the first 3D movie in history. It could make people feel like they were in the movie, and the effect was far better than any 2D movie. If I had to choose, I would definitely choose "2012". There was no doubt about that. I think all the fans are like me. "
That night, "2012" received countless praises on Rotten Tomatoes. Its score reached an unprecedented 9.76 points, surpassing all the previous movies.
A famous film critic said, "Those who haven't seen '2012' will never believe how shocking and touching it can be. This is an epoch-making work. In terms of visual effects, no other movie can match it. "
"In addition to the shocking movie scenes, what I admire most is the depth of Xiao Zhen's exploration of human nature in the movie. As a film critic, I'm rarely moved by movies, but '2012' really moved me. "
"The first one was the ruthless officer in charge of the overall situation in the United States. In order to let one more useful person on the ship, he resolutely left his mother behind. When he called his mother, he covered his face and cried, and I couldn't help but cry. "
"The second one was the President of the United States. He could have escaped this disaster, but as an old man in his seventies, in order not to cause trouble for the future, he resolutely gave up this opportunity. In the end, the United States was destroyed by terrible tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions."
"There were also several white-haired leaders of Hua Xia. They faced the sun and walked to their deaths generously. The scene is still in my mind and can't be erased."
"The entire movie depicts countless people of all shapes and sizes. In the face of a disaster, they not only have selfishness, fear, despair, sadness, and other emotions, but they also have excellent qualities such as courage, heroism, self-sacrifice, and consideration for the overall situation. "
"If I had to say one sentence about '2012', I would say that it's a 3D disaster commercial blockbuster that reflects human nature. It's the best movie I've ever seen."
"Therefore, I give it a score of 9.99. I leave the 0.01 because I hope Xiao Zhen can make a better movie than '2012'."
This movie review appeared on the Internet and was crazily reposted by countless fans.
"2012" swept the entire United States.
On November 6th, the box office of "2012" hit a new high and took 932 million USD, becoming the highest-grossing movie in a single day in history.
On the other hand, "Resident Evil" only took 458 million USD. Whether it was in terms of reputation or box office, it lost completely.
On Saturday, November 7th, "2012" ushered in a huge explosive period. It was shown on 9,887 screens around the world 24 hours a day. Almost every theater was full and it took a terrifying 1.857 billion USD. The entire world was speechless at this moment.
On November 8th, "2012" showed its prowess again and took 1.983 billion USD, almost breaking the 2 billion mark.
Of course, this was also related to the high ticket price. However, fans who had seen the movie did not think that the price was high.
"2012" only released for a week and the box office reached 7.548 billion USD, surpassing the total box office of "Wars Against the Aliens".
As for "Resident Evil", although it also took more than 4 billion USD, it had completely lost the battle between the two.
"2012" became popular and so did the 3D movie.
For two consecutive days, Xiao Yunhai received countless calls, all of which were to discuss the transformation of the 3D theater.
Kree contacted Xiao Yunhai three times, hoping that he could lower the price of the MGM Grand. However, Xiao Yunhai mercilessly rejected him.
The transformation of the screen cost one million USD, the 3D glasses cost five hundred USD, the director and cameraman training cost one hundred thousand USD, and the 3D camera cost two to ten million USD. All of these prices were set by Xiao Yunhai and no one pleaded for him.
At the same time, Dream Special Effects posted a statement on their homepage that this was only the price of the first fifty thousand screens. The price for the rest of the screens would be increased by twenty percent.
In just a few days, Dream Special Effects received a total of more than eighty thousand 3D transformation orders from major theaters around the world.
