Well, a little thing happened in the movie fan circle yesterday. There is a place called Fat Bird that cannot be opened. I first declare that this has absolutely nothing to do with your fat brother. Then I also ask everyone, do not leave a message on any of my platforms to ask for seeds in the future, let alone send my pictures and texts without leaving the seeds, just greet the chrysanthemum of the fat brother. Well, I heard that Fat Bird is not only 404, but the moderator is also in trouble. The moderator's girlfriend also hangs up an account on Weibo for help.
It’s really embarrassing that it suddenly disappeared as a place that fans had tacitly told, but we all know that this day will always come. Pirated resources are things that can't make it to the table anyway. Sacrificing the interests of the producers has also affected the vigorous development of the film industry. The vicious circle will actually cause harm to the fans. Because of piracy, there are fewer and fewer good movies. This is something that everyone who loves movies doesn't want to see. During the Spring Festival, the popular movie "annihilated" and pirated high-definition resources flowed out, causing immeasurable losses to film makers. The "Wandering Earth" publicity team did not have time to celebrate the continuous record highs at the box office, but was busy cleaning up pirated resources with an anxious face. Fat brother once again declared that he supports genuine and resists piracy.
But there is one problem. Fat brother has been wondering that if he only watches genuine and cinema movies, then he may be "slim", the number of films read has dropped sharply, and the viewing time is seriously lagging behind. As a well-justified post-85s, piracy and resources are an indelible impression in my childhood. I believe that is the dream place of most movie people. Therefore, some people see that the answer to piracy is simple: because, you can see it! In the 1980s when copyright awareness was severely lacking, large and small video studios were the only places where people watched movies. You can get a glimpse of the grand occasion from many films of the x-generation director. In a small dark room mixed with smoke, sweat, alcohol, and all kinds of unknown smells, people watched movies with blurry pictures willingly. The video hall is an important medium for Hong Kong films to leave special memories in the hearts of Chinese fans. Even because of its strong scene characteristics, it has become a magical element for generations of directors to characterize their movie dreams.
It seems that the young Bi Gan used the video room to show everyone a dream of apocalyptic love in last year's "Last Night on Earth". At that time, many business-minded people found their first pot of gold by opening the video studio. The video hall did not fall because of copyright issues, but was wiped out by the development of the media itself .
The advent of the VCD and DVD era announced the disappearance of the video room. People can watch a movie repeatedly by putting a disc worth a few dollars into a machine smaller than a TV. This Pandora's magical box almost made the movie theater ruined. Some people in the media even chanted that in front of TV and DVD, the movie theater will undoubtedly die. That was the worst time for movie theaters, but it was the best time for movie fans. Hong Kong movies are already precious, Hollywood blockbusters are synchronized globally for the first time, and Korean dramas have come to the public's home with the spring breeze of vcd. So large and small rental shops have replaced the video room and become the place where your fat guy must go to check in every day. Stores with flexible minds even began to issue VIP cards made of cardboard, ranging from the number of packages, to monthly packages, and even annual packages. How productive the film is, how bold the people are. You fat brother, I barely turned all my pocket money into a VVIP for a movie rental boss downstairs.
"Recently, there are a few new films. I just finished watching them, and the discs are still hot. It's not too expensive. You can watch them quickly." "By the way, it must be given to me tomorrow. Many people line up." At that time, we didn't even know what the genuine product was, it could only be so. The tremendous improvement of the material level and the development of media technology have put forward higher requirements for movie fans. The home theater once again issued a "fatal blow" to the Chinese movies at the time. Before China's entry into the WTO and in the less severe early days, a large number of mainland disc manufacturers have sprung up and squeezed into the battle of DVD discs with clearer picture quality. At that time, in order to prevent piracy and duplication of goods, the DVD playback area was divided into 1-8 regions (region code) for genuine DVDs, and each region ran over several countries. For example, the mainland had 6 regions and Hong Kong and Taiwan belonged to 3 regions. In theory, DVDs between regions cannot be played on DVD machines in the other country. However, the huge profit temptation allowed the disc dealers to quickly break the so-called regional restrictions.
What's even more powerful is that they will pack DVDs in various regions by themselves. The iron box version of "Terminator 2" (France 2) , the "Lord of the Rings 3" with the "White City" model, the pigskin version of "Ghost Trilogy", Spielberg's pseudo-signed "Schindler" "List", also comes with a "Little Girl in Red" collection film...
At that time, ordinary HD was 10 yuan, and the collector's edition ranged from 99 to 200.
Washing the version , collecting discs of different regions and different editions for a movie, has become the self-cultivation of movie fans. You, fat brother, I, for a long time to eat 1.5 yuan noodles for boxes after boxes of discs. Why buy pirated editions? At that time, the price of original discs in Zone 6 was high , with an average of 30 to 50, and the sound quality and picture quality were not as good as other editions. They bring DTS soundtrack, commentary soundtrack, high-definition picture quality, and the key is the "director's cut version". At that time, people in most parts of the world could only watch the 88 madman battles in the black and white "Kill Bill", and your fat brother had bought multiple color versions and watched it all, at least 89 times. At that time, there were many pirates, and they also formed their own brands, the famous Red Dragon, MK, Phoenix, Chuangjia, Prestige, Zhongsheng, Emperor (EE)...there were numerous, hilltops, and a hundred schools of thought contended, but soon these names were all It was obliterated as the fight against piracy became normal.
So people started to go to the movie theaters and bought the genuine ones, and they became legends after a meal. Hmm...what a joke. This time, the Internet revolutionized their lives .
I can't remember exactly what is the first year of " Resource BT" . You can't imagine the anxiety of downloading a resource of several hundred MB at a speed of several kb. The resource age is highly dependent on broadband speed and computer hardware. For a movie, hanging up for a few days is commonplace and the best way to save money. Your fat brother, I did one of the shortest -sighted things , turning many of my favorite movies from disc to hard disk. For this reason, the electricity bill at home has increased sharply, causing protests from the family. After all, at that time, "Next film" always had a bit of eroticism. Later, I discovered that the expansion of technology has brought about the expansion of hard disk capacity, and the resources have also gone from RMVB to MKV, from 1024 to 720P, 1080P . At that time, the resource emperor was born .
These resource emperors first made their fortunes in the forum, and then moved to Weibo. They extracted the former DVD discs into file packages, made them into RMVB format, and used the Internet to spread them for movie fans to browse. Some great gods grab resources from foreign forums and have spawned a large number of IT companies that develop [playing software] . Player" has become one of the Bian software for fans’ computers. As the top level of the food chain, the resource emperor replaced pirated disc dealers and became the new film distributor. Some Weibo bloggers rely on posting resources to grow millions of followers in a few months, and tens of thousands of comments and reposts on a Weibo are commonplace.
They are the Internet celebrities of that era, hot money gushing away, allowing a group of resource emperors to tap the gold of the era. The fat birds flew high. Why do we like to find resources and not go to the cinema, or buy genuine copies. Now, genuine discs can be bought everywhere, and the cinema has evolved from old and shabby to IMAX, Dolby surround sound. According to the summary of your fat brother and enthusiasts, today's movie theaters have developed to the point where they completely crush home theaters. There is no theater equipment worth tens of thousands, and not only the equipment, you must first have a small, separate room as a soundproof wall. The last thing that enthusiasts burn is not the equipment, but the house! The cost can be imagined.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer resource emperors, movie theaters are getting better and better, and the box office of mainland movies has reached a new high. But why do some of us miss resources? The answer remains the same, because it can be seen . The number of good movies and excellent movies we have seen through formal channels is still too few and too few. For example, we can't see Wen Ziren's horror films on the mainland screens . For example, the back of the woman in the Oscar's Best Picture "The Shape of Water" is affixed with a little black dress, and works such as "The Green Book" are also partially cut. The problem of grading and the solution of the problem of art film theaters is the fundamental solution to make movie fans no longer miss the resource emperors. The right path is not smooth, and the wrong path is numerous. The current problem is still that the growing spiritual civilization of the masses cannot be effectively satisfied, so it will worship the resource emperor like the fat birds.
Half a century ago, there was a controversial Oscar nominated film "To Kill a Mockingbird" .
The great Gregorian Parker played a white lawyer. A black man was wronged as a rapist because of his skin color. Although he found conclusive evidence that the black man was not a murderer, everyone from the individual, the community, and the courts did not comment on his evidence. In the end, even as a white, he was discriminated against by others. He educates his children time and time again to treat racial issues correctly. But in the end, maybe even he himself had to succumb to public opinion. There is a subtle textual metaphor in the film- Robin .
Whether it's piracy or resources, Fatty believes that it will die out with the development of technology and the maturity of the film industry . But Fat Brother hopes that before more "xx birds" are killed, fans will already have a wide range of graded and reasonably priced viewing channels . Only then, we will not miss the legends of the Shinhwa Video Hall, DVD, and Resource Emperor.
