Can "Gemini Man" or a theater with a loss of $75 million be upgraded?


Special feature of 1905 film network With the release of, the slogan of "recognizing frames and watching movies" three years ago was shouted again.

According to the number of frames, there are three categories of this film in China: 24 frames, 60 frames and 120 frames. The 120-frame version is divided into two versions: Dolby Cinema which can play 2K definition and CINITY Cinema which can play 4K definition.


Both the cinema and the audience are expecting the performance of this film. But the day after its release, Ang Lee’s new film dropped from the single-day box office champion to the third place. The proportion of film arrangement on Monday also fell below 20%.


Someone has calculated an account for this action film with an investment of $140 million: judging from the current global box office revenue, Gemini Man may eventually lose $75 million. Among them, the estimated 200 million RMB box office in China has been regarded as the support of domestic audiences and cinemas for "An Shu" to make movies with heart.

On the second day of its release, Gemini Man fell from the single-day box office champion to the third place.

At present, there are 30 CINITY cinemas in China that can show 120 frames, 4K and 3D versions of Gemini Man. Three years ago, there were only one cinema in Shanghai and one in Beijing that could show the highest standard version, and the screening equipment was dismantled after the film went offline and was not used for long-term cinemas. 

Before "Gemini Man" this year, CINITY version has been produced, and it enjoys a separate ranking number, which ranks alongside IMAX and China Giant Screen.

More and more subdivided screening types and different cinema formats have made the screening market blossom, and the construction of cinemas is quite hot. Among many new cinemas, IMAX Hall and Dolby Cinema have become standard. So is it possible for Gemini Man to be regarded as a tipping point, so that the emergence of new cinemas will become a breakthrough in the next round of cinema upgrading and screen number growth?

"Twenty years ago, when I first entered the business, we only had 1,800 effective screens. The annual box office of China movies is less than 900 million, and most cinemas are closed. " Yu Dong, president of Bona Film, who started from distribution, said that the development of China films in the past 20 years could not be separated from the hard work of the whole industry of production, distribution and projection.

He believes that in today’s era, there must be a new format to invite the audience back to the cinema from the hands of short videos: "At this time, we are facing the impact of the small screen era and the challenges brought by massive videos. If the cinema does not strengthen its theater effect, we will be overwhelmed by these massive short video small screens."

In fact, the last round of "self-help action" in cinemas happened to be 10 years ago. The release of "IMAX3D" has made 3D movies extremely popular, and people have entered theaters one after another. It is even harder to get a ticket for this visual blockbuster version of IMAX 3D. A cinema investor recalled that in 2007, there were only 82 3D screens in China, and in August 2009, the number increased to 330, which was surprising: "At the end of 2009, there were more than 600 3D screens in China, while there were only more than 1,000 3D screens in Asia at that time, and China accounted for more than half." 

It is understood that the ordinary screen plays 3D movies because the brightness is not enough, so it is necessary to increase the power of the projection lamp, but it is easy to cause the xenon lamp to be damaged due to too high load. Therefore, when showing 3D movies, cinemas often choose metal screens with brightness coefficient above 2.0. Many screens in those days were not metal screens, so it is urgent to upgrade if you want to show 3D movies.

With the popularity of Avatar, many studios have been upgraded. Some insiders recalled the impact of Avatar screening on the domestic screening industry: the screening equipment in first-tier cities has already led the market. The popularity of Avatar, the box office profit created by the 3D version, and the first domestic 3D martial arts film of Avatar, these three reasons made the second and third tier cities with slightly backward hardware conditions complete the hardware upgrade of cinemas. 

After that, China also entered a period of rapid growth in the number of screens. By 2018, the number of screens in China has reached 60,000, of which more than 50,000 can show 3D movies. It can be said that the chain reaction triggered by a film has accelerated the upgrading and development of the whole industry several times.

"Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk" promotes cinema upgrade.

 

Since the screening of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, we seem to have seen a new round of cinema upgrade. In 2016, when this 120-frame, 4K and 3D film was shown in the Mainland, although the highest version only had two screens to show, there were about 20,000 screens that could show the 60-frame version. According to a user on the Q&A platform, the current projection equipment can show 60-frame versions, but many cinemas can only show 24-frame versions because of the old servers instead of projection equipment.

Companies in the field of film projectors and other equipment production also introduced on the Q&A platform: the main requirement for high-format projection is the processing power of the server. At present, mainstream media servers in the digital film industry can support 4K resolution and high frame rate of 120fps, but these two indicators cannot be met at the same time.

Recalling the release and screening of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk in China, Yu Dong said: "We made a box office of 170 million. Many cinemas have been upgraded, and all the cinemas that can show up to 60 frames have been fully upgraded in that round. " However, he believes that it is difficult to establish a huge screening system with the help of one company. 

This time, the lead is the Chinese film with 120 frames, 4K and 3D platforms, and behind it is the strength of 19 enterprises and institutions. In addition to several major film groups and studios, Huaxia Film’s shareholders also include several major domestic cinema companies such as New Film Association, Lianhe Cinema and Pacific Cinema. Therefore, when Gemini Man was released, it was supported by three cinemas, namely Jinyi, Bona and Wanda. There were 30 screens in China, which could show the highest standard.

Ang Lee and Fu Ruoqing (first from right) appeared in the post-screening activities of Gemini Man.

Fu Ruoqing, chairman of Huaxia Film, said that due to equipment supply problems, 100 screens could not be rolled out as scheduled before the release of Gemini Man, but the cinema has placed an order for 100 CINITY cinemas. He said: "When Gemini Man was released on the 18th this year, CINITY had about 30 screens in 18 cities that could be released on the 18th as scheduled. By the end of October, there will be nearly 50 screens and 100 screens by the end of the year." 

So from the current point of view, in the three years from Billy Lynn to Gemini Man, the studios in China have been upgraded on the digital server. But at present, a CINITY cinema system has reached 5.5 million. For cinemas, the funds are huge. Fu Ruoqing believes that digital projection is a normal digital product in about five to six years. He has a favorable attitude towards the film investment company, the cinema and the film management company to continue to upgrade their projection equipment.

However, the fares of Gemini Man CINITY Cinema, Beijing and Shanghai have reached about 200 yuan; The fare in Hangzhou is higher than that in 100 yuan; Fuzhou even has a special ticket from 50 yuan. For first-tier cities, high-format movies still have high ticket prices.

In this regard, Fu Ruoqing also said that CINITY’s early development costs a lot, and hopes that it will drive down the overall cost in the future: "We also hope that the cost of shooting it by more people will drop, and the overall shooting quality will rise. Therefore, it is also a key thing to improve the overall quality of China’s film industry. I think it should be a very good thing. " It is understood that director Chen Kexin is shooting at a high frame rate.

"China Women’s Volleyball Team" was shot in high frame rate format.

From this point of view, compared with the upsurge of cinema upgrading and construction driven by Avatar, the high screening cost of 120 frames, 4K and 3D cannot be the motivation for the new round of renovation and upgrading of cinemas. But it has a far-reaching impact on the upgrading of screening quality. At the moment when the home entertainment system is constantly upgrading, cinemas really need to develop more top-level audio-visual experiences in order to attract the audience to the cinema.

Talking about the epidemic situation and commenting on the United States and Russia, Putin’s four and a half-hour press conference also talked about love and family.

  BEIJING, Dec. 17 (Reuters)-On December 17, local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a large-scale press conference in 2020. In four hours and 29 minutes, Putin answered 60 questions, covering domestic and foreign issues such as the COVID-19 epidemic, economic transformation, Russia-US relations, and the arms race.

  Talking about the epidemic situation: COVID-19 will actively promote vaccination.

  Putin said at the beginning of the press conference that the coming year has both gains and regrets, but the main problem is the Covid-19 pandemic.

  Putin said that Russia’s Covid-19 detection capacity ranks among the top three in the world, and the "satellite V" vaccine developed by Russia is highly effective. So far, there has not been a case of serious side effects after vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine made in Russia. Vaccination in COVID-19 will only be carried out on a voluntary basis.

  At present, there are many rumors about the source of Covid-19. Putin said: "What we have to do is not to find the responsible party, but to unite to solve the problem."

  Influenced by the COVID-19 epidemic, the press conference was held in a different form. Putin had a long-distance communication with reporters in the official residence of Novo Ogaryovo in Moscow State.

  Talking about internal affairs: Putin has not yet decided whether to participate in the 2024 presidential election.

  For Russia’s presidential election in 2024, Putin said that he has not made a decision whether he will participate. "The stable development of the country is crucial. Formally speaking, the people allow me to participate, but whether to do so needs to be seen again."

  Regarding the poisoning incident of Russian opposition figure Navalny, Putin said that Russia will launch an investigation and call on the West to provide relevant information. "We are willing to investigate. If anyone has information about the use of chemical weapons, he has always said yes to this matter &lsquo; Novichok &rsquo; &mdash; &mdash; Please provide this information. "

  Putin revealed that Russia’s gross domestic product (GDP) is currently falling by 3.6%, which is lower than that of the United States and many European Union countries. However, a positive factor in economic development is that Russia has begun to get rid of its dependence on oil and gas, and 70% of Russia’s budget does not depend on oil and gas income.

Data Map: On May 1, local time, Moscow ushered in the annual Labor Day. Affected by the epidemic, Moscow has become quiet this year. In the downtown area, there are almost no pedestrians. China News Service reporter Wang Xiujun photo

  Talking about diplomacy: I hope Biden will solve Russia-US relations.

  Regarding the relations between Russia and the United States that have been concerned by the outside world, Putin said that Russia did not interfere in the US election, and "the State Council and intelligence agencies in the United States are the authors of rumors about hackers involved in Russia". The development of bilateral relations between Russia and the United States has always been constrained by American policies, and it is hoped that US President-elect Biden can solve the problems existing in bilateral relations.

  In addition, for the prospect of Russia-Ukraine relations, Putin said, "This depends largely on the Ukrainian government."

  On the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, Putin pointed out that Russia’s position is "peaceful settlement and avoiding bloody conflicts."

  When talking about the situation in Belarus, Putin said that the Belarus issue can only be solved by the Belarusian people themselves.

  Talking about the military: Russia does not intend to get involved in the arms race, but it will ensure its own security.

  When talking about western countries’ dissatisfaction with Russia in the field of military strategy at a press conference, Putin said: "You are smart people, why do you treat us like fools?"

  Putin said, "As for the arms race, I would say that it has already started &hellip; &hellip; We will not get involved, but we will protect our own safety.

Data Map: On June 24th, local time, a military parade was held in Red Square, Moscow, Russia to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War. Affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, the security guards around the parade wore masks and gloves. China News Service reporter Wang Xiujun photo

  Putin stressed that Russia only has overseas military bases in dangerous areas with terrorist tendencies.

  Regarding the Russian sea hypersonic missile "Zircon", Putin said that the recent test is very important, and its inclusion in the Russian army will affect the balance of strategic forces.

  At the press conference, Putin also said these things &hellip; &hellip;

  Apart from domestic and foreign affairs, Putin also answered some other questions with philosophical words.

  At the press conference, a 10-year-old boy asked Putin, "Why don’t other countries like Russia, because Russia has done nothing?". In this regard, Putin replied that this is a relationship between adults, and the ties between people are still very strong.

  Putin also said that the important secret of family happiness is love, which should also be the cornerstone of international relations. He said: "As for the secret of family happiness, it is love, but it is no secret."

The reasoning cost of Li Yanhong’s tool version of Wen Xin Da Model 4.0 dropped to 1% a year ago.

According to national business daily, on April 16th, Li Yanhong, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, officially announced the release of the tool version of Wenxin Big Model 4.0 at the Create2024 Baidu AI Developers Conference. Li Yanhong said that compared with a year ago, the algorithm training efficiency of Wenxin Big Model has increased to 5.1 times, the average weekly training efficiency has reached 98.8%, the reasoning performance has improved by 105 times, and the cost of reasoning has dropped to 1%. "In other words, customers used to call 10,000 times a day, and now they can call 1 million times a day at the same cost."

Baidu Li Yanhong: Natural language will become the new general programming language.

"Natural language will become a new general programming language, and as long as you can speak, you can become a developer." This is the new judgment made by Li Yanhong, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, at the "Baidu AI Developers Conference" which opened in Shenzhen on April 16th. Li Yanhong believes that developing applications in the future is as simple as shooting short videos, and everyone can be a developer. (Securities Times)

Palm oil bottom support is strong

Although there are still uncertainties in macroeconomic policies, and it is expected that the increase in imports in the second quarter will also have a negative impact on the palm oil market, palm oil, as an agricultural product, is relatively less affected by policies and more affected by fundamental factors. It is expected that palm oil in the market outlook will oscillate upward under the support of good economic recovery momentum, serious upside-down prices of internal and external markets, the arrival of the peak consumption season and dry weather.

  In 2009, the domestic oil market as a whole went out of an oscillating upward trend. However, palm oil and soybean oil, the two most active oil varieties, reached the highest point in the year in early December 2009. In early 2010, under the influence of negative factors such as the increase of the deposit reserve ratio by the central bank of China and the debt problem in the euro zone, the futures price began to fall sharply, reaching 8.1% and 8.6% respectively in just one month, and in 2010, it was "black". However, since February, driven by the sharp rise in the futures price of crude oil in the outer disk, soybean oil and palm oil have bottomed out, and by the end of February, the futures price has rebounded by 50% of the decline in January. The trend in February boosted the confidence of market investors and made more investors place higher expectations on March. However, after the national macro data was released on March 10th, both CPI and PPI unexpectedly increased by a large margin year-on-year, the expectation of the central bank to raise interest rates was further enhanced, and the market suffered a panic decline. On this day alone, the palm oil P1009 contract fell by more than 1%. At present, although there are some signs of stabilization in the market, the confidence of market investors has not been effectively restored. How will palm oil develop in the later period? Through the analysis of macro and fundamentals, the author finally draws the conclusion that the price of palm oil has stabilized at present and is expected to oscillate and rise in the later period.

  First, China’s economic recovery momentum is improving, but the interest rate hike is expected to increase.

  On March 11th, the National Bureau of Statistics released the main macroeconomic data in February, most of which showed an increase compared with the same period of last year, indicating that the economic recovery momentum in China was still good. For example, from January to February, China’s urban fixed assets investment increased by 26.6% year-on-year, and the total retail sales of consumer goods increased by 17.9% year-on-year. Both investment and consumption showed that the momentum of China’s economic recovery was better than expected. And from January to February, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 20.7% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 16.9 percentage points faster than that of the same period of last year, indicating that the industrial recovery momentum is good.

  However, surprisingly, the ex-factory price of industrial products rose by 4.9% from January to February, of which the ex-factory price of industrial products rose by 5.4% in February, 1.1 percentage points higher than that in January. From January to February, consumer prices rose by 2.1% year-on-year, of which consumer prices rose by 2.7% year-on-year, 1.2 percentage points higher than that in January and 1.2% higher than that in the previous month. PPI rose by 4.9% year-on-year, exceeding the market expectation range of 4.4%-4.7%, while CPI rose by 2.7% year-on-year, exceeding the market expectation range of 2.0%-2.5%. In February, the CPI rose sharply year-on-year, partly because of the influence of consumption and climate factors during the Spring Festival, and the increase in some food prices caused by heavy snow before the Spring Festival. However, the year-on-year growth rate of 2.7% still exceeds the highest value of 2.5% generally expected by the market. The year-on-year increase of CPI value exceeded expectations, which challenged the goal of preventing inflation and ensuring growth this year, and also enhanced the expectations of market investors for the central bank to raise interest rates in the second quarter, which suppressed the confidence of market investors to do more.

  Second, the price of internal and external disks is seriously upside down, and there is a demand for compensatory growth in the later stage of palm oil.

  In 2010, the upside-down trend of spot price of palm oil in the internal and external markets has intensified. At present, the spot price of palm oil in Malaysia is 625 yuan/ton higher than the domestic price. Generally, the price difference between the internal and external markets will decrease from April to July, so there is a high room for domestic palm oil prices to rise in the later period.

  Malaysia’s palm oil exports will show a seasonal growth trend after March and April.

  In the second quarter of each year, Malaysia’s palm oil exports basically showed an increasing trend, mainly due to the warmer weather and the emergence of the alternative advantages of palm oil, which will boost the palm oil price during this period.

  Fourth, the dry weather led to a decline in palm oil production and boosted palm oil prices.

  Recently, the dry weather in the main palm oil producing areas in Malaysia has intensified. According to the news released by the Ministry of Hydraulic Irrigation of Malaysia on its website, due to the influence of dry weather, the water levels of two rivers in Johor province, Sungai Muar and Sungai Benut, have dropped to "dangerous" levels, and these two rivers are the main rivers that irrigate plantations in this area. According to the forecast of the Malaysian Meteorological Bureau, the dry weather in parts of Malaysia’s main island and Sabah province is expected to last until May, and there will be no rain at all in the coming week. This may lead to a reduction of plantation output in this area by about 15%. Sabah province is the most important palm oil producing area in Malaysia, and a quarter of the national output comes from this area. In February, the palm oil production in Sabah province decreased by 15.7% compared with that in January, falling below 400,000 tons. It is expected that the palm oil production in Malaysia may decrease by 10% compared with that in February, which may lead to a sharp decrease in palm oil production this year. In 1983, 1987, 1992 and 1998, due to the influence of dry weather, the palm oil yield in Malaysia decreased by 10%, 23%, 1.4% and 17% respectively compared with the previous year. In addition, the Malaysian government is still implementing the oil palm tree replay project this year, which also means that the palm fruit harvest output will decline, thus affecting the Malaysian crude palm oil output. It is estimated that Malaysia’s crude palm oil production will decrease by 2.3% this year to about 17.2 million tons, which will boost palm oil prices.

  Palm oil imports remained at a high level in the fifth and second quarters, which had a negative impact.

  Judging from the situation of palm oil imports in China, except for the global financial crisis in 2008, palm oil imports in other years showed an increasing trend from April to June. Recently, according to the forecast of National Grain and Oil Information Center, the monthly palm oil import in China is expected to stabilize at 500,000-600,000 tons from April to June. At present, the port inventory of palm oil is still very large, and by the end of February, the inventory is about 500,000 tons, which has a certain suppression effect on the price of palm oil.

  6. Technically, palm oil is expected to oscillate upward.

  From a technical point of view, the palm oil futures price is supported around 6800, and it is strongly supported around 6500, but the pressure around 7000 above the futures price is relatively high. If the futures price can successfully break through 7000, it is expected to go up to the first target of 7400 in the later period; If you can’t effectively break through 7000, call back to 6500 at most.

  Based on the above analysis, the author thinks that palm oil, as an agricultural product, will be less affected by policies and more affected by fundamental factors, despite the uncertainty of macro policies and the negative impact of the increase in palm oil imports in the second quarter. Therefore, the author believes that palm oil prices are expected to oscillate and rise in the later period. Investors can now pay attention to buying opportunities in the range of 6800-6900.
