Chapters 1383 and 1392, this is what you call cinematic art!!

An artsy outdoor seating area in Ikebukuro.

Since morning, there have been frequent reports of unidentified individuals carrying high-definition cameras lurking around, often observing from a distance outside the main entrance of the movie theater before disappearing again.

The group from the Tree Friends Group, who were waiting for the audience in the lobby, naturally noticed this, but there was nothing they could do about it.

"Watanabe-san"

Ishikawa Susumu from the publicity department said to his immediate superior,

"Are we really not going to do anything about those reporters and paparazzi?!"

"Forget it. Let's just leave it at that."

Eiichiro Watanabe knew the group of reporters were there for a preview screening of "Jurassic Park," but since he didn't know the exact time and couldn't enter the theater, he could only wait outside beforehand.

"We didn't invite any media reporters to the press conference for this screening. They were naturally very unhappy because they didn't have any material. They only wanted to take pictures of the people who received invitations."

"Let them be as long as they don't disrupt the screening."

"Hi!"

Not long after Ishikawa Susumu responded, the first person with the invitation arrived.

"It really is here! The artsy seating area has become a private cinema for tree enthusiasts!"

Takeshi Kitano swaggered in, holding the invitation in his hand. He glanced at the staff who were there to greet him and said with a smile,

"Let me check this out, this is my invitation!"

"Welcome, welcome!" Eiichiro Watanabe quickly stepped forward with a smile. "Director Takeshi Kitano, you're the first one here!"

At this point, there was no need to mention checking the invitation letter or anything like that. Instead, the gift of the Tyrannosaurus Rex commemorative toy was given to Takeshi Kitano.

"This is a small free gift!"

"Haha, I came early because I was so curious."

Takeshi Kitano looked at the toy with a smile and asked with a grin,

"Naoki Nagayama didn't come? That can't be right. But it's his movie!"

"No, no, Naoki-san is doing the final confirmation backstage!"

As Watanabe Eiichiro led Kitano Takeshi to the screening room, he explained...

He wanted to ensure the screening went well.

"Well that's it!"

Upon entering the screening room, Takeshi Kitano immediately noticed something amiss. The seats inside were actually sofas, with flat and spacious armrests in the middle, large enough to hold bags, drinks, and other items!

Moreover, the large screen in front seemed to be much larger than those in other cinemas, and even had a slight curve.

Is this a movie theater?

You have to understand that movie theaters charge for seats, so they can naturally cram as many seats as possible into a screening room!

"Of course!"

A voice came from the back of the screening room. Naoki Nagayama walked out from behind the projector and explained to Takeshi Kitano with a smile,

"However, just like clubs have VIP rooms, movie theaters can naturally also differentiate service levels to make the movie-watching experience more comfortable for the audience!"

"Oh?"

Takeshi Kitano looked around and nodded. Sitting on this kind of sofa would naturally be more comfortable.

What's with the big screen in front of us?

"This giant screen is, of course, meant to make things clearer, more realistic, and more stunning!"

Naoki Nagayama came to Takeshi Kitano's side and said,

"The projector in this screening room has also been replaced with the latest xenon lamp projector. The image quality is absolutely beyond our expectations."

"In short, in this giant screen theater, you can experience the feeling of 'being there' to the fullest extent!"

"Todoroki?!"

As an actor and director, Takeshi Kitano is naturally very interested in the development of this film technology. At this moment, he couldn't help but walk down to the big screen and compare it with other screens.

Films with high visual requirements are definitely more suitable for screening in a theater like this!

"Haha, Naoki-san, I'm even more excited for this Jurassic Park movie!"

“I won’t let you down!”

Naoki Nagayama patted Takeshi Kitano on the shoulder, inviting him to sit down, and then had some snacks and drinks brought over.

"Please wait a moment, the invited audience members should be arriving soon! I must excuse myself to greet them!"

"Yeah, let's go!"

Meanwhile, in the lobby, Susumu Ishikawa had already persuaded several groups of disguised reporters who wanted to break in to turn back.

"A private screening in Marseille. This screening is by invitation only; only those who have received an invitation can attend."

"I have an invitation, but I left it at home!"

The reporter in front of him looked completely serious, as if he didn't realize he was lying at all.

"So please let me in first!"

"The private Marseille area. No entry without an invitation!"

Ishikawa Susumu looked helplessly at his bulging gym bag.

"And please hide the camera in your bag."

"This is a bowling bag!"

"."

Ultimately, with the friendly assistance of other tall and strong employees, the reporter was allowed to go home.

However, those who came with invitations didn't get the same result. After a brief glance, they were led aside to collect small souvenirs.

Just then, Naoki Nagayama and Eiichiro Watanabe also came out, causing a commotion in the lobby before it returned to its lively atmosphere.

As time went on, the number of invited audience members increased.

"Long time no see." "Sashimi ignores me." "You look younger!" "You're getting more and more beautiful!" "Thank you for coming."

Naoki Nagayama greeted the people who received the invitations with a smile and asked someone to lead them into the screening room.

Most of the people who came today were well-known figures in the entertainment industry, whom he had met once before, with a few seasoned fans as well. He had to handle them all well, and his smile was practically stiff by the end.

"Masaki-san, Masahiro-san, you've arrived!"

Upon seeing his two familiar friends, Naoki Nagayama became even more enthusiastic.

"Naoki-san," Masaki Kobayashi responded with a smile, "It's quite lively today! I saw many reporters at the entrance."

"Don't worry, they won't be able to get in!"

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate for the media?!"

Masahiro Shinoda frowned.

"What if they're deliberately trying to report something false?"

"It's okay! The more controversy there is, the more buzz it will generate!"

Naoki Nagayama waved his hand.

"I have confidence in Jurassic Park!"

"Oh? Then we'll have to take a good look!"

"No problem, please come in!"

"Okay~"

By 10 a.m., most of the audience had arrived, and once inside the screening room, they were all amazed by the unique experience of the giant screen theater.

Meanwhile, Takeshi Kitano was eating nuts and chatting idly with the person next to him.

Finally, Naoki Nagayama walked in, and without saying much, sat down in the seat that had been reserved for him.

The lights slowly dimmed.

Bright xenon lamp light shone from the projector, illuminating the giant screen at the front. Then, the opening sequence of "Jurassic Park" lit up.

The rumbling tunnel construction team, while working, unearthed a piece of amber fossil from the Jurassic period. Inside, a mosquito, saturated with blood, sat silently in the center, as if frozen in time.

The opening sequence alone was enough to elicit gasps of surprise from the audience.

"So clear!" "So realistic!"

Because the huge screen filled the field of vision, the realistic images, combined with the surround sound system, made the audience feel as if they were actually on a construction site.

This immersive experience is something you absolutely cannot experience in other cinemas!

Professional film directors and producers, in particular, have felt the immense superiority of this giant screen.

Some film critics were already composing articles praising the giant screen theater! Naoki Nagayama asked them not to reveal the plot, but he didn't say they couldn't write about the screening!

As the images on the giant screen changed, the story of Jurassic Park slowly unfolded.

At a tropical archaeological site, dinosaur fossils slowly emerge in the hands of a group of scholars. Harrison plays a paleontologist who is invited by Yuko Tanaka to Jurassic Park to assess the ecological environment.

To the viewers, the hot wind and yellow sand seemed to be about to burst through the screen and blow onto their faces!

Next, the helicopter, carrying the audience, slowly landed on the helipad at the foot of the waterfall. The rushing spray seemed to dampen the audience's cheeks.

Next, the evaluation team traveled together to Jurassic Park.

When the main characters, Harrison and Yuko Tanaka, saw the live Brachiosaurus, they were so shocked they held their breath. Meanwhile, the audience watching...

"Wow!" "My God!" "It looks so real!!!"

"These are scenes from the second trailer!" "It's a hundred times more stunning than the trailer!!"

It's not that these professionals don't understand movie-watching etiquette, it's just that they couldn't resist!

The lifelike Brachiosaurus slowly walked along the lakeside, making a deep, muffled sound that seemed to shake the earth!

Stretching its long neck, it bites at the leaves on the branches, taking a large piece of the tree canopy in one bite; the tree seems to have become a snack!

Not far away, more Brachiosaurus were also foraging for food.

The camera pans to a close-up, revealing a herd of Triceratops slowly walking across a grassy field in the distance.

Closer still, tiny raptors scurried past in the nearby grass.

These scenes shattered even the wildest imaginations, seemingly presenting the most authentic Jurassic dinosaur ecosystem to the audience!

At this moment, not only seasoned fans, but also famous directors and film critics who have seen countless movies are deeply immersed in this seemingly real Jurassic Park!

Film is the art of making fantasy come true!

This statement is absolutely true at this moment!

"Wow, movie special effects can be this good?!"

Masaki Kobayashi's eyes widened, his heart filled with emotion, and a sigh for his advanced age, which meant he no longer had the energy to research special effects technology or wait for its development.

On the other side, Takeshi Kitano's eyes widened in shock at the scene before him:

"This is what cinematic art is all about!!"

"Compared to Naoki-san, the gap is just too big!"

"."

The other viewers were also filled with emotion; they had only seen this one clip, yet they seemed to have endless things to brag about!

However, what happened next in the movie surprised them even more!

When the female protagonist, Yuko Tanaka, found the ailing Triceratops again, her eyes filled with tears of emotion as she tenderly stroked its mouth and horns with longing.

"This is my favorite dinosaur."

If the Brachiosaurus was a distant view before, then the Triceratops is now a close-up!

The Triceratops's slightly rising and falling chest, its vividly expressive eyes that could turn and blink, and the gentle breath it exhaled from its mouth all amazed the audience!

"The Triceratops looks alive no matter how you look at it!" "Is this also a special effect?!"

A rustling sound drifted among the audience; they desperately needed to say something!

However, this is just the beginning; it's not the climax of the film yet.

When the investigation team arrived at the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the enormous dinosaur appeared, and the entire screening room held its breath, just like the movie's protagonist!

Only when the Tyrannosaurus Rex disappeared into the forest did they dare to breathe.

"So imposing!" "No wonder it's a Tyrannosaurus Rex!" "Look at those teeth, look at those agile movements! It's alive!" "Now look at it, Ultraman's space monsters are practically toys!"

After the Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared, the plot took a sharp turn for the worse—the dinosaurs escaped their cages!

In the midst of a stormy night, the Tyrannosaurus Rex escaped from the exhibition hall!

The thunderous footsteps shook the water's surface, and in the stormy night, a massive figure slowly emerged from the jungle.

The figure of a Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared beside the SUV, making the two children inside the car hold their breath!

When the transparent partition on the ceiling was smashed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the shrill screams came not only from the screen, but also from several audience members in the theater!

At this moment, it was as if they were trapped inside the car and being attacked by a Tyrannosaurus Rex!

In the basement, amidst the cables and server room, the protagonist, Yuko Tanaka, is repairing a computer mainframe. Just as the mainframe is restarting, a velociraptor's head suddenly leaps out from behind the cables, slamming Yuko Tanaka into the barbed wire fence.

The moment the velociraptor burst from the power line, besides hearing Yuko Tanaka's scream from the speakers, Naoki Nagayama was certain that someone in the two rows behind him had also screamed!

This immersive sense of horror is just as good as the scariest ghost movies!

"Tsk tsk. This grown man got scared and revealed his feminine side!"

Shaking his head, Naoki Nagayama continued watching the large screen. Although he had created it frame by frame, he could discover something new and exciting every time he watched it!

In the perilous journey that followed, the research team avoided dinosaur herds, defeated pterosaurs, and encountered Tyrannosaurus Rex once again.

The adrenaline-pumping scenes kept the audience glued to the screen, so engrossed they didn't even want to drink a drop of water.

Especially during several dangerous scenes, the audience was even more tense than the movie's protagonist!

Only when the protagonists finally boarded the escape helicopter did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

As the end credits began to roll, the audience in the theater were filled with an indescribable emotion.

It was a kind of sobriety after a thoroughly enjoyable experience, a silence tinged with reluctance, as if one still longed to return to that novel and exciting Jurassic Park.

The screening room remained silent for several minutes until the lights were turned on again.

"Slap" "Slap s ..." "."

A continuous burst of applause erupted, with all the audience members clapping their hands vigorously, applauding this immersive and unforgettable film!

"Naoki-san, you're amazing!"

Takeshi Kitano shouted at Naoki Nagayama.

"From today onwards, you are my idol!"

"Haha, then let's forget about it."

Masaki Kobayashi, Masahiro Shinoda, and other friends from the entertainment industry all gathered around Naoki Nagayama, showering him with praise!

"What a rare masterpiece!" "It's cinematic art!" "I knew Naoki-san wouldn't disappoint!"

"The pinnacle of special effects!" "Even Hollywood couldn't make a movie like this!"

"Will Director Naoki make a sequel?" "I want to work with him!" "Count me in, I don't want a salary!" "..."

"."

Naoki Nagayama could only humbly accept these compliments with a smile.

Since there were no subsequent media interviews, Naoki Nagayama was able to see the audience off as they left the theater. In his final moments, he made only one request:

"For special effects movies like this, the most important thing is the first impression!"

"Please don't reveal any specific plot details!!!"

"Thank you!"

Most viewers nodded in understanding, while many others had their own thoughts, but Naoki Nagayama couldn't control them. As long as it didn't spread too much, that was fine!

"Alright. Kitano-san, Masaki-san, and Masahiro-san, it's rare for us to see each other, let's go have a meal together!!!"

"Let's also talk about the film's shortcomings."

"Hahaha, good!"

"."

The paparazzi and reporters who had been waiting outside finally got to see the movie end!

Many people followed the audience members who had just seen the movie, hoping to get an interview.

"How was Jurassic Park?" "Are the rumors exaggerated?!" "It's not that good, right?"

The interviewees either shook their heads and didn't answer, or smiled and shared some of their feelings.

"Fantastic!" "A rare find!" "A must-see!" "Far exceeding expectations!" "I highly recommend everyone see it in theaters!"

"."

Although they refused to reveal detailed information, almost all the viewers who were entangled in the incident shared the same attitude:

"This is a movie that far exceeds the public's expectations!"

You'll regret it if you don't watch!
