On October 12, "Gemini Killer" was seen for the first time in Beijing. Zhang Zhao, the vice president of Fosun Group and CEO of Fosun Film and Television Group, also made his debut for the first time and had a conversation with Li An.
"Gemini Killer" is a film with Chinese capital. According to data, "Gemini Killer" was jointly produced by Paramount, Tianwu Pictures and Fosun Pictures, and Alibaba Pictures has also been added to domestic film and television companies.
In addition, because it is also a 4K/3D/120-frame movie, the technical realization is still the same as the 2016 release of "Billy Lynn's Midfield Battle", facing extremely difficult. Compared with "Billy Lynn" when it was released, only two screens in the country supported 120-frame screening. When "Gemini Killer" is released on October 18, audiences will be able to watch this film on 30 screens in 18 cities across the country. A high-tech movie with a sense of the future. After
took over as CEO of Fosun Pictures, Zhang Zhao made his first appearance at the first domestic filming conference of
"Gemini Killer". Zhang Zhao, who had not appeared for a long time, appeared as the host.
As everyone knows, on June 24, Lechuang Entertainment issued an announcement stating that Chairman and CEO Zhang Zhao proposed to resign from the company due to personal reasons. On July 28, every reporter learned from Fosun related persons that Zhang Zhao has confirmed to join Fosun Pictures as the vice president of Fosun Group and CEO of Fosun Pictures Group. So this is the first time that Zhang Zhao has appeared in public view on behalf of Fosun Films after three and a half months. According to
data, "Gemini Killer" was jointly produced by Paramount, Tianwu Pictures and Fosun Pictures. Among domestic film and television companies, there is also the presence of Ali Pictures.
Fosun is not an unfamiliar name to many viewers who are familiar with Ang Lee. After Guo Guangchang's Fosun entered the film and television industry, he quickly invested in Hollywood studio Studio 8. The first work was "Billy Lynn's Midfield Battle", which was co-produced with Director Ang Lee, which was screened globally in 2016.
In other words, "Gemini Killer" is the second film of the cooperation between the two parties. Fosun, which has already entered the film and television industry, officially debuted in "Gemini Killer" with a new image of "Fosun Pictures".
Last year, Li Haifeng, Senior Vice President, Chief Communication Officer (CCO) of Fosun International, Chairman of Fosun Foundation, and Chairman of Fosun Film Group, repeatedly emphasized in interviews with reporters: “What we want to do is , Use Hollywood language to tell the Chinese story.”
’s knowledge of Li Ang, Li Haifeng once said that what made him feel most deeply was Li Ang’s belief in movies and his innovative spirit. “He is always trying different ways And content, to update and subvert everyone’s understanding of movies, to constantly break through and surpass ourselves.”
established China’s film industrialization through a new standard
It is reported that Disney led the development of "Gemini Killer" in 1997. However, he was stranded due to the limitations of shooting technology, until 2017, Ang Lee took over as the instructor.
But the most noteworthy film is still "Lee Ang" and the "new technology" he brought. Following "Billy Lynn's Midfield Battle", "Gemini Killer" once again presents 4K/3D/120 frame projection technology.
When "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" was released in 2016, only Shanghai SFC and Beijing Bona supported the screening in China, which caused many fans to want to watch but couldn't find a place.
It is worth noting that after these three years of upgrade, the CINITY projection system will support this new work by Ang Lee. It is understood that the CINITY cinema system incorporates 4K, 3D, high brightness, high frame rate and other high-tech technologies, developed by Chinese technology, to open up all processes from pre-shooting, post-production to release and projection. "This is a commercial release of something that was originally only industrially tried. I personally feel that there is a new beauty between 3D and digital. There is quite a capture in the movie, and then it is released in an original way. I feel that in fact Very excited." Li An said.
promotes the development of the CINITY system, and it is Fu Ruoqing, chairman of China Film, and general manager of China Film. In line with Li Ang’s view, Fu Ruoqing also believes that the essence of the film is a sound and light image that pursues the ultimate.
but in recent yearsWith the development of streaming media and more entertainment consumption behaviors, it robbed the audience of time to go to the cinema. Data show that from January to May this year, the box office and the number of movie viewers both dropped for the first time since 2011.
"The simplest idea is that when everyone walks into the cinema and can still come to enjoy the movie, the quality of the movie must be improved." Fu Ruoqing said. He is a photography assistant and has worked in cinema seat production, screen production and projectors. Therefore, I met Li Ang at the 2016 Shanghai Film Festival and felt very excited when I heard the idea. I used the holiday to fly to New York to discuss with Li Ang to promote the screening of CINITT. "I think it has opened up a new world for creators, directors and actors to better express their roles."
Fu Ruoqing hopes that using CINITY as a pivot will bring more Chinese filmmakers. "I hope to borrow 120 frames or call it high format to really drive the Chinese film industry and establish China's film industrialization through a new standard."
