Chapter 510 Final Fantasy Effect (Supplement 24)

509

The movie version of Final Fantasy 7 is finally released as scheduled.

This animated film with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars did not land in traditional mainstream theaters.

However, not all theaters are not showing it.

For example, in Japan, there are still a small number of regional movies released.

After all, the influence of Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the United States is limited.

But it is different in Japan.

Japan's Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is endorsed by the government.

As long as you are not a fool, no one will offend a company favored by the government because of this kind of thing.

Even if Su Rui Electronics has a very large influence, it is impossible to cover such a wide area.

Moreover, the Detroit Film Group originally only had a great influence in the United States, but not so much in Japan.

Therefore, Japan has become the only region where the movie version of Final Fantasy 7 is shown, but there are not many movie theaters, and it is only limited to big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka.

And there was hardly any publicity for this, it was just a few screenings by the way.

Since the mainstream theaters can't log in, the influence must be limited, so there is no need to focus on this aspect of publicity. Instead, the focus will be shifted to the provision of online videos, as well as the production of physical movie cassettes and CDs.

Judging from the number of pre-orders now, the global pre-orders for the cassette version of the film have reached 100,000, while the disc version hovers around 200,000.

It is very gratifying that the pre-sale can achieve such results, and the subsequent official release will definitely be higher than the pre-sale volume.

It seems that my judgment is correct. Players are very impressed with Final Fantasy 7, and its influence is very far-reaching. This series still has great value to continue to explore.

The defeat of Monster Hunter is probably predictable for Zhuyouxing, because players in this world generally have not yet exercised their tolerance for high-difficulty games.

Even Monster Hunter can't handle it, so if another Soul system game is made, it will probably hit the street directly to death.

But it doesn't matter, players can also be cultivated slowly, Monster Hunter can make a good start, first let players adapt to this difficult game, as for how much it sells, it is actually secondary.

Now he cares more about the movie version of Final Fantasy 7.

The original Advent Children movie version of Final Fantasy 7 is already very good, but in fact, some parts are still somewhat obscure. This movie is more inclined to fans, and outsiders will probably only be attracted by the cool special effects.

Therefore, Zhu Youxing also made some supplementary settings in the movie, so that ordinary people can quickly understand the outline of the whole plot. Of course, the original plot will definitely not be modified. This is the core, and Zhu Youxing does not want to use it. His own thoughts destroy an original work, and his more mentality is to share the beautiful things of his previous life with people in this world.

In this way, the length of the movie has also increased from the original two hours to nearly two and a half hours.

This is already relatively long for a traditional theater movie.

If the publicity was really focused on traditional theaters at the beginning, I am afraid that some concessions will be needed in terms of duration, but in the field of online video, there is no need to consider these, and there is no problem with a duration of three hours.

The release time of Final Fantasy 7 is September 15th at midnight in the United States, which happens to be just after noon in Japan, and it is also the time when there are the most people.

It was a Saturday, and people who knew in advance that the movie version of Final Fantasy 7 would be released were waiting in front of their computers.

Many of them had subscribed to the video website in advance. When the time came, the interface of Final Fantasy 7 suddenly went black, and then a string of text slowly emerged.

To once loved this world

People who spend happy time with their friends in this world

Now is the time for your reunion——

For players, this sentence makes people feel very deep.

When Final Fantasy 7 was released, everyone was empty-handed, and then it caused a very strong social effect for a long time.

It was even called the Final Fantasy moment during that time, and sociologists called it the Final Fantasy Effect, a metaphor for people who are crazy about a game.

Because of Final Fantasy, the Japanese government almost promulgated a new law, that is, when a video game is released, it must be reported to the Metropolitan Police Department in the jurisdiction in advance, and the Metropolitan Police Department will send police officers to maintain law and order.

However, there are very few games that have the influence of Final Fantasy in the future. If every game is reported in this way, then the police will not have to do anything.

Now more than ten new games are produced on average every day, and the police officers are simply too busy.

The sentence on the screen just now represents the mental journey of the players when they played Final Fantasy 7.

Manipulate the protagonist and his companions to take adventures on this continent together, and experience various or thrilling, or twists and turns, or touching stories.

And at this moment, when the movie is officially broadcast, it is indeed a time of reunion for players who have played this game.

Old friends who haven't seen each other for several years reunited again because of this game, relive the beauty of this story, and watch this movie together.

The text ends and the screen gradually lights up, which seems to be a cloud in the sky.

Not far away, the halo of the sun is illuminating the clouds, and the music is slowly unfolding, and the melody is so familiar.

The audio module of Final Fantasy 7 on the GS1 game console was not particularly good, so the music was still a little muddy.

But now this melody is very ethereal, which makes people feel relaxed after hearing it, especially for old players.

The camera slowly descends from the clouds and comes to a desolate Gobi desert.

This Gobi desert is so real.

In the previous publicity, everyone has already learned that this is a special effect made with a full CG computer, without any real scenes.

That's pretty amazing.

The previous trailers focused more on the battle scenes, but the main stage scenes were not shown too much. Until now, the whole world is presented again, which feels completely different.

"Wow, this Gobi Desert, this mountain, this tree, this... Scarlet Red Thirteen!"

The camera cuts, and a wolf-like creature starts running wildly, followed by two little wolves who should be its cubs.

The players called out its name without hesitation.

Red Thirteen, also has a very popular wolf-shaped character in the plot of Final Fantasy 7.

It is a test product made by the villain Baojo, and finally escapes to become a member of the protagonist group.

Following the run of Crimson Thirteen, it brought the cub to a cliff, and in the distance of the camera is the familiar city, the city of Shinra, Midgar, but the city that used to be extremely glorious and magnificent has now become A piece of ruins, overgrown with weeds.
