Chapter 897: The Eve of the Premiere
Outside the cinema on Manga Island, there is a huge movie poster of "The Magician of the Early Century", and many young people are surrounded by them.
"Don't squeeze! Let it go..."
"Come on, let's take a photo first!"
These young people stood under the poster and took photos. Since the poster was posted, the situation has been so lively in the past few days - because there was He Xi's autograph on this poster, and this only one poster in China is like this.
"Oh..." Qin Ya sat in a tea restaurant with sunglasses across the theater and said boredly: "It's so good, I want to go over and take a few photos."
There were three assistants by her side. When they heard Qin Ya's words, they laughed: "How can that be? Teacher, you can't take photos as soon as you go!" "They will definitely bother you, teacher, and it will be difficult to get out!" "Teacher He Xi's signature poster, aren't it common for you to be a teacher?"
Qin Ya shook her head and said, "Although it is very common, tomorrow will be the premiere of "The Magician of the Early Century". If you can take a photo under this signature poster before the premiere, the meaning will be completely different."
The three assistants looked at each other, but they couldn't see any different meanings. Qin Ya's idea was too strange.
⌒"Okay, teacher, instead of thinking about this poster, it's better to see the spoilers for tomorrow's movie premiere." Bai Han held a newspaper in her hand and placed it in front of Qin Ya, saying, "You see, it's very interesting here. It turns out that "The Magician of the Early Century" has a real historical background."
"What history?!" The other two assistants immediately surrounded him.
"This is..." Qin Ya looked at the newspaper, and the front page title was "The Magician at the Early Century and the Demise of the Romanov Dynasty": "What is this?"
"The source of the movie's story, from some information that is spoiled now. This newspaper found that the story of "The Magician of the Century" is likely to be based on a real historical background. Teacher. Do you still remember the introduction of "The Magician of the Century"?"
"Remember." Qin Ya recalled: "It seems to be a story about some royal secret treasure."
"Yes, yes, that royal secret treasure is the secret treasure of the last family of the Romanov dynasty, and the Romanov dynasty really exists!" Bai Han explained excitedly. She had not learned much about foreign history before, but Romanov was a dynasty family that ruled Russia for hundreds of years.
This is also the reason why Meng Huo chose the first theatre version as "The Magician of the Early Century". Although the worlds are different, the view of history is different, in the historical details, there are many similarities in this world to the previous life - including the story of the Romanov dynasty.
Romanov Dynasty. This was the second dynasty family of Tsarist Russia, and ruled Russia for 300 years. The Romanov Dynasty was also an ambitious and powerful dynasty that established a vast imperial territory, but its overly huge ambition eventually brought destruction to it.
In the mid-19th century, the entire Eurasian continent was controlled by two major powers: China and Russia. China was the lord of East Asia, South Asia and the Far East, while Russia was invincible in Europe and Central Asia and was regarded as the savior of the West. In this case, Russia took a fragile period of China's industrial transformation and began to get involved in the land in the Far East.
The result is the current world...
"I have learned this history and remembered it. It turns out that the Romanov dynasty was the royal family of the unlucky empire!" Qin Ya clapped her hands. She knew this history. This is the history that junior high school students learned - but the history books do not record the Russian royal family in detail.
In fact, Chinese historians are not very interested in this, because the huge empire accounted for a very small share in Chinese history, and even the war with them had not yet developed to the scale of the Chinese civil war.
There is actually a reason why Qin Ya called the Romanov dynasty the unlucky empire. One of the major reasons is that the war they initiated was really unwise. In fact, in the mid-19th century, internal disputes in China were very fierce, and the disputes between industrialization and traditional systems were more cruel than any war in history.
China was indeed very fragile at that time, and Russia did not make any mistakes in its judgment. However, they were wrong in thinking that they could take advantage of the situation - but it just brought the opposite effect. In fact, it was precisely because of Russia's invasion of the Far East and China sent troops to resist that it proved the correctness of industrialization in a short period of time.
At that time, China's reform had already achieved some results, and these achievements had unimaginable great military advantages. Russia's invasion not only did not cause China to fall into chaos and lose the Far East, but instead reduced domestic disputes in China and the government welcomed the wave of industrialization faster.
The decades of history that followed have been the history of the transformation of China. With the change, whenever there is a great struggle in China, China will launch a small-scale war to the west, using external struggles to ease internal struggles, thus successfully achieving a historic transition.
In the eyes of other countries, it was the beginning of a nightmare. It was precisely because of the war initiated by Russia that the world had never calmed down. China's surgical sword-like techniques made every country frightened, and the powerful Russia fell apart because of this incident.
But Russia did not directly perish at the hands of China. In fact, China did not intend to embezzle the world at the beginning. It was just that the panic brought by China made many of its federations want to leave Russia, which led to successive successive results. Russia's huge territory has been shrinking for decades, and the prestige of the Romanov dynasty continued to decline.
By the beginning of the 20th century, Russia had become a middle-class country that was not valued. In 1905, the Romanov dynasty, which had lost its authority, was overthrown by angry people, and the emperor's family was killed by ambitious nobles and disappeared into history.
"Thinking about it now, the Romanov dynasty is really unlucky..." When Bai Han finished talking about this history, the other two assistants couldn't help but sigh. The demise of the Romanov dynasty was really unlucky. In fact, there was no big problem with the last ruler of this dynasty, and it could only be said that it could be too mediocre.
He wanted to curb the trend of national division, but failed. As a result, the country shrank repeatedly over the decades, arousing the anger of the people and some nobles. This led to the demise of the dynasty.
"The magician at the beginning of the century... the magician at the beginning of the century... could it be said..." Qin Ya's eyes suddenly lit up. The Romanov dynasty was overthrown in 1905: "The meaning of the name "The Magician at the beginning of the century" does not refer to the present? It is the beginning of the century a century ago?"
Bai Han nodded: "That's it. The secret treasure in this movie should refer to an egg-shaped gift loved by the last emperor of the Romanov dynasty, the Alexandra III family."
Although Alexandra III's talent was not outstanding, he was a man who loved his family very much. In 1885, he made a special Easter egg for Queen Maria, called "emperorrestartegg".
A female bird made of gold was placed in the middle of the egg, a small crown and ruby. Later, her son Nikola made two eggs for her mother and wife every year. The inside of the egg was complex mechanical structure, and it cost the emperor a huge amount of money to make it every year. It was precisely because of the wealth of the Romanov dynasty that such treasures were produced.
The maker was a very mysterious gemmaster. A total of 51 were made between 1885 and 1905. These luxurious eggs inlaid with gold and gems were destroyed many when the Romanov dynasty fell in 1905. The rest were collected in the current Russian museums, but a few of them were also circulated in other parts of the world.
"The Magician of the Early Century should be the opportunity to find from these historical allusions." Bai Han smiled and said, "Teacher He Xi is so powerful. He even knows such things. If it weren't for this newspaper, I wouldn't have known the Romanov dynasty at all - let alone the secret treasures they have."
She naturally didn't know that this was just a coincidence. In fact, Meng Huo was already ready to create a historical background, but when he checked the relevant historical information, he found that the Romanov dynasty also existed and had certain similarities with the history of his original world, so he gave up on fiction very happily.
However, although he gave up fiction, he still changed some of the stories and details of "The Magician of the Early Century" to make it more in line with the history of the world - for example, the title of "The Early Century" is actually very consistent with the history of the world.
The entire animated movie setting and script. During the production process, from the director to the artist, they actually searched for the corresponding historical background, but no one thought there was anything wrong and they all liked this story - this can prove that Meng Huo transformed the details of the movie perfectly.
"Animated movies that have been integrated into real history..." Qin Ya couldn't help but shake her head and said, "This is so amazing. No wonder the company has such high expectations for the box office of "The Magician of the Early Century". This movie is so attractive!"
A completely fictional, and a movie based on real history, will certainly have a different appeal to the audience - if The Magician of the Early Century tells the story of Romanov dynasty and the Secret Treasures well enough, it will also be a huge attraction for fans who are not Detective Conan.
It would be great if the movie "The Magician of the Early Century" can capture fans of "Detective Conan". If it is attractive to others, its box office will definitely be very high.
“Can the total box office of 3 billion be achieved?”
However, at this moment, Xu Jing, a person at the ding point of Phoenix Company, is the one with the least confidence. His past confidence is based on Meng Huo, but this time the film director is not Meng Huo.
Can the movies directed by Meng Huo really surpass "Five Centimeters in Second"?
"I believe that the pressure to reach this number will not be very high." The one who was called to the office by Xu Jing was answered by Alice. She has been back from Yanjing for a few days and is quite familiar with the movie "The Magician of the Early Century": "After all, the script was written by Meng Huo himself, and the character design also inherited "Detective Conan". You don't have to worry too much."
"I feel much more relieved if you say this..." Xu Jinglei breathed a sigh of relief: "To be honest, I have never been so nervous this year. Tomorrow will be the premiere of the movie. This movie cannot fail."
Alice smiled: "No, tomorrow's premiere will definitely succeed! I've watched the movie, and although I can't be sure how successful it will be, I believe its quality will satisfy the vast majority of viewers."
"You've seen a movie!" Xu Jing's eyes lit up: "How is the story?"
"I've seen it because my curiosity is too strong." Alice replied awkwardly. She stayed in Yanjing for a long time, and although she wanted to resist watching a movie during this period, she could see something right in front of her, and she couldn't help but finish watching it with curiosity.
"The story is good. I was worried that this kind of mystery movie would be boring, after all, it's been a long time!"
It is normal for the movie to be broadcast for one or two hours. "The Magician of the Early Century" is a theatrical version of "Detective Conan", which means a story that tells reasoning like the original work. But the story of reasoning is quite boring. The animated version of "Detective Conan" is nothing more than twenty minutes. If it becomes a movie of hundreds of minutes, wouldn't it be too boring?
This is exactly what Xu Jing minds and worries. He nodded and frowned: "What? Do you think the content of the movie is boring? If the plot is too boring, few viewers will have the patience to finish watching it."
Alice shook her head and comforted her: "No, when it actually looks, I didn't feel boring at all, and I watched it for several hours. The core of the content of this movie is not the common murder and theft incidents in animation and comic versions, nor is it the case to solve the case, but telling the audience a story about memories through reasoning and solving the case."
Although "The Magician of the Early Century" inherits the style of "Detective Conan", the theatrical version focuses on the story content over the reasoning, which is also a special feature that is different from animation. In fact, after watching it, Alice did not think it was a great mystery movie, but she thought the movie told a great story.
"It's indeed a very interesting movie. In addition, the appearance of the character Kidd, the appearance of the character Kidd has also added a lot of girls' favorites." Alice smiled and said: "His image in the movie is much more outstanding than in comics and animations, and it will definitely make many female audiences scream. After this movie is released, Kidd's figures should be sold out."
Hearing this, when his daughter's evaluation was so high, Xu Jing's eyebrows relaxed, and his heart was completely let go after a few days. He knew that Alice had been with Meng Huo for many years and would not easily say good things about a work. Her vision of animation can be said to be even stricter than him, and there would be no mistake in judgment.
Xu Jing smiled and said, "I am a little looking forward to tomorrow's arrival now." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
