   Chapter 510 Final Fantasy Effect (Supplement 24)

  509

   The movie version of Final Fantasy 7 is finally on schedule.

  This animated film with hundreds of millions of dollars in investment has not landed in traditional mainstream theaters.

   But not all cinemas are not showing.

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

The influence of    in the United States is limited after all.

   But in Japan it is different.

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

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

   Even Suri Electronics has a very large influence, but it cannot cover such a wide range.

   And the Detroit Film Group was only very influential in the United States, but not so big in Japan.

   Therefore, Japan became the only area where the Final Fantasy 7 movie version was released, but there were not many movie theaters, and it was limited to big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka.

   And this one was hardly publicized, it was just a few screenings by the way.

  Since the mainstream cinemas cannot log in, the influence must be limited, so there is no need to focus on publicity in this area. Instead, the focus is shifted to the provision of online videos, as well as the production of physical versions of movie cassettes and CDs.

  According to the pre-orders, the global pre-orders for the cassette film version have reached 100,000, while the disc version hovers around 200,000.

   It is very gratifying to have such a result in the pre-sale, 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 have far-reaching influence. This series is still very worthwhile to continue to explore.

   The defeat of Monster Hunter is probably predictable to Take Yusei, because players in this world generally haven't exercised their tolerance for difficult games.

   Monster Hunter can't handle it, so if another soul-based game is made, it is estimated that it will go straight to death.

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

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

   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 cool special effects.

Therefore, Zhu Yuxing also added some settings in the movie, so that ordinary people can quickly understand the whole plot. Of course, the original plot will not be modified. This is the core, and Zhu Yuxing does not want to use it. His own thoughts destroy an original work, and his more mentality is to share those 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 quite a long time for a traditional theatrical film.

   If the publicity focus was really put into traditional theaters at first, I am afraid that some concessions would 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 the duration of three hours.

The release time of   Final Fantasy 7 is 0:00 US time on September 15th, which happens to be just past noon in Japan, and it is also the time when there are the most people.

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

   Many of them had registered for the subscription of 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 a 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, it was crowded, and it caused a very strong social effect for a long time.

   During that time it was even called the Final Fantasy moment, and sociologists called it the Final Fantasy effect, a metaphor for people who went crazy for a game.

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

   However, there are very few games with such influence as Final Fantasy. If every game release is reported like this, then the police officers will not have to do anything.

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

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

  I control the protagonist and companions to take an adventure on this continent, experiencing a variety of thrilling, bizarre, or touching stories.

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

  Old friends who have not seen each other for several years are 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 cover in the sky.

   The halo of sunlight not far away is illuminating the clouds, and the music unfolds slowly, the melody is so familiar.

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

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

  The camera slowly descended from the clouds and came 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 by a full CG computer, without any real scenes.

   This is amazing.

   The previous trailers focused more on the battle scene, but the main stage scene did not show too much. Until now the whole picture of the whole world is presented again, this feeling is completely different.

   "Wow, this Gobi Desert, this mountain, this tree, this... Crimson Thirteen!"

  The camera switched, and a wolf-like creature began to run wild, followed by two little wolves who should be its cubs.

  The players called out its name without hesitation.

  Crimson Thirteen is also a very popular wolf-shaped character in the Final Fantasy 7 plot.

   is an experiment made by the villain Treasure, and eventually escaped to become a member of the protagonist group.

Following Scarlet Thirteen's wild run, it brought its cubs to a cliff, and the far side of the camera was the familiar city, Midgar, the city of Shinra, but the once glorious and magnificent city has now become A ruin, overgrown with weeds.
