"Gemini Killer" CINITY version of the first screening event
CG special effects and high-tech format are used to break the boundaries of film art with visual language
"Gemini Killer" tells the story of the middle-aged agent Henry played by Will Smith, who was killed by the young clone Henry. The audience sat in the CINITY cinema and admired the 50-year-old Henry, who has been growing old and strong after years of age, and the 20-year-old Henry, who has been "rejuvenated" but has not experienced the world, amazed at the visual impact of the two "Will Smith" characters and the fighting scenes. A profound movie story is an unprecedented breakthrough in the history of film using visual language. At the
preview meeting, Director Ang Lee said that it is the ever-evolving technology that allows the film to be filmed and presented. On the one hand, Henry Jr. is a digital figure created by all digital creation. He uses CG technology to capture Will Smith's performance 100% visual dynamics and adopts a brand new facial tracking method. From the skeleton, muscle, skin, hair, and emotions, it is all made by hundreds of Hollywood's top special effects artists after two years of careful polishing. On the other hand, the film is shot in high-tech formats such as 4K, 3D, 120 frames. With the help of a high-tech CINITY theater system that integrates 4K, 3D, high frame rate (HFR), high brightness, high dynamic range (HDR), wide color gamut (WCG), immersive sound (Immersive Sound) and other high-tech CINITY theater system, the CINITY theater allows the audience to immerse themselves in the plot of the movie, and appreciate the clearer picture, more colorful colors, smoother images, more coherent movements and more realistic sounds.

Technological innovation drives the upgrading of cultural and entertainment consumption, and CINITY makes high-format movies no longer out of reach
In fact, "The Gemini Killer" is not the first time director Ang Lee has innovatively explored high-format movies. As early as 2016, Director Ang Lee launched the world's first digital movie "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" filmed in 4K, 3D, and 120 frames. This technical specification is called the "new platinum standard" by director James Cameron, the "technical maniac" in the film industry. However, at that time, only five cinemas around the world were able to play high-tech versions of this film, which made most movie fans not is likely to see it. Despite this, Director Ang Lee still has unremitting persistence in high-tech formats, and after three years, he released the high-quality movie "Temini Killer".
Fortunately, for ordinary audiences, this high-format movie is no longer out of reach. Fu Ruoqing, chairman of Huaxia Film, said: "The deep integration of technology and art has allowed films to continue to progress and rejuvenate. High-format films that integrate high-tech will become an inevitable trend in the development of the film industry. At the same time, movies are a form of cultural and entertainment consumption that is loved by the public, and technological innovation will inevitably drive the upgrading of cultural and entertainment consumption. In order to deepen the innovation of film technology and industrial upgrading and comprehensively improve the audience's viewing experience, the Film Research Institute, China Film Co., Ltd. and Huaxia Film began to pay attention to the core technologies in the field of pre-shooting, post-production and screening of high-format films in 2015. In August this year, Huaxia Film officially released the CINITY brand and theater system." Since its launch, the
CINITY theater system has been deployed nationwide at a rapid speed.Up to now, CINITY has successively landed in first-tier cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and has been deployed to provinces such as Yunnan, Henan, Shaanxi, Jilin, Zhejiang, Hebei, etc., covering nearly 30 second-tier key cities such as Hangzhou, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Xi'an, Kunming, Qingdao, Changchun, Dongguan, and Chengdu.

layout the entire industrial chain, and CINITY reversely gave birth to high-quality movies
With the release of the first CINITY movie "Temini Killer", more and more people are beginning to pay attention to high-quality movies. Li Shuping, chief technical expert of China Film, believes that the CINITY theater system will inversely attract and promote filmmakers to shoot and produce more high-tech format high-quality films. He said: "Huaxia Film will create an industrial chain of high-tech format movies, including pre-shooting, post-production and distribution screening. One of the next key points will be to organize the production of high-tech format movies to give birth to more high-tech format movies. The original intention of Huaxia Film is to serve the creation of high-tech films in my country by promoting high-tech format movies and promote the high-quality development of my country's film industry."
