As a movie released 7 years ago, Avatar directly promoted the revolution of human film shooting techniques and the technological revolution of movie theaters.
After the movie was released, many people discovered that the original movie can still be watched in this way.
Since then, many movie theaters have also built high-definition 3D viewing screens such as imax, laser, and reald screens.
Even a few years after Avatar was released, there are still no 3D and no movies circulating in the market, so to speak.
All this indicates that Avatar is indeed a pioneer of film technology and viewing methods in the new era.
Cameron was also made a god again because of this movie.
After watching Avatar, the audience has been looking forward to the release of the second part of Avatar.
When will Avatar 2 be released? This has almost become a menstrual post on many movie forums and post bars.
I didn't expect this delay to drag on for several years.
It wasn't until 2016 that the audience knew for sure that Avatar 2 was still being filmed.
The reason why the shooting took so long.
The most important are two reasons.
One is the special effects of Avatar 2, which must surpass the first one.
In the special effects shooting and production of the movie, it took a lot of effort.
Even the most expensive part of a film's cost and the most time-consuming part.
The second reason is that beautiful scenes are not easy to choose.
Special effects are part of the movie, but beautiful natural scenery is equally important.
When filming in Avatar, the film crew went to many countries around the world to collect scenic spots with beautiful natural landscapes.
Cameron is a perfectionist.
He hopes that every frame of the movie he created will be the most eye-catching scenery, which can be used as the background image of Daisuke's advertisement or the wallpaper of the computer.
This is also the fundamental reason why Avatar 2 has been filmed for several years and the progress has been slow.
All the settings can be perfectly expressed in two words - burning money.
Very expensive.
Cameron and the film's investors made a simple estimate.
See this pattern of burning money.
After the movie is released, if it does not earn more than 3 billion dollars at the box office, then the movie will definitely lose money.
3 billion meters knife.
This number is quite scary.
According to the global box office ranking in 2015.
Jurassic World, which ranks first at the box office, has a total box office of only 1.6 billion dollars.
That is to say, the box office of Avatar 2, even if it reached the standard of Jurassic World, which ranked first in 2015, it would not return its capital at all, let alone make money.
This way of burning money made the investors of Avatar II very anxious.
If you don¡¯t invest, the initial investment will be in vain, and Cameron is a world-renowned successful director, with a success rate of over 90% of his films, so it¡¯s worth the gamble.
But if you invest in it, if the box office can't make up for it, it will really be nothing.
Therefore, the investor has been wrangling back and forth with Cameron's team, which also delayed the filming process.
But no matter what.
Cameron also knew that he had to find a way to save costs, and he had to find a way to speed up the shooting progress.
Of course Cameron still has some ideas of his own.
That is the screen display of the world view in Avatar 2, relying closely on some existing scenery on the earth, it feels a little bit less interesting.
If special effects are used for processing, it will look fake and empty, which does not meet some of my own settings for movie lenses.
On the contrary, the virtual world created by Zemeng Equipment is more in line with Cameron's vision.
If you can show the most real and most wanting picture in your heart in the virtual world.
This not only saves costs, but also achieves your perfect goal, and speeds up the progress of shooting.
But Cameron's idea was not supported by the team from the beginning.
Because the shooting team has a lot of money that will be invested in the production of special effects.
If Cameron's movie ends up moving to the virtual world to shoot.
All special effects money will be cancelled.
Those companies that do special effects will definitely not have a penny of profit in the future.
? The special effects created by the virtual world, whether it is the effect or the senses, must be"Okay.
Cameron recorded this feeling.
Yang Fei and Wang Xiang received Cameron in the conference room.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two sides got to the point.
Cameron first introduced to the two that the filming process of Avatar II had encountered some troubles.
Both Yang Fei and Wang Xiang are fans of Avatar.
The two of them were very happy to be able to get in close contact with Cameron and learn about the progress of Avatar 2 filming in the first place.
"I learned about Zemeng equipment and the virtual world from the media."
"I also saw some scenes and pictures of the virtual world. I think this is the material basis for creating all possible things."
"Avatar 2, we focus on expressing the underwater world. I hope to have a sense of the vast and beautiful sky."
"We have tried to find this feeling in New Zealand and other countries, and we have also tried to use the water tank of the swimming pool to shoot, and finally use the special effects in post-production to do it, but we always feel that it is not satisfactory."
"So we hope to seek cooperation with Changtian Technology, hoping to bring a true sci-fi movie to fans all over the world."
Wang Xiang and Yang Fei can understand Cameron's thoughts very well.
Because this is Yang Fei's home field.
So even though Wang Xiang is the CEO of the company, he still handed over the right to speak to Yang Fei.
Yang Fei also did not directly discuss business with Cameron, and did not discuss how to cooperate with him, but talked with him about experience.
Yang Fei said to Cameron: "Sir, we Xia people have a saying that it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times."
"Let's not talk about cooperation today, let's take a look at our virtual world first."
"Firefly Systems has developed a game called the God of the Original Dao, and we have developed a new copy, which has not yet come out."
"But I just heard from my husband that the second part of Avatar will focus more on the underwater world."
"Our copy of this game will also have many islands and underwater world environments. Let's take a look first."
"real?"
Cameron was excited this time.
"I can not wait any more!"
Cameron has only seen some simple pictures of the virtual world on social media videos.
You still have to actually check it out.
Yang Fei directly asked the staff to take more than 10 Zemeng equipment and distribute them to Cameron and his team.
After the staff briefly taught everyone how to use it.
Yang Fei and the technicians of Changtian Technology led Cameron and his party into the new instance of God of the Original Dao.
The majestic mountains, the silence of the deep sea, and the voice that touches the soul, all kinds of monsters.
Everything is so sci-fi, and everything is so realistic.
Not only Cameron, but the entire team under it was banned, and the scene was stunned.
They feel that this is not a movie, nor a game, nor a post-production feature.
And everything happened for real.
The fact is the real scene in front of you.
This kind of scene is much more beautiful than the real scenery they were looking for in New Zealand, South Africa, and other countries around the world.
Just at this time.
Yang Fei summoned several dragons over.
This kind of dragon is still different from the flying dragon in the Avatar world. It is the traditional dragon of the Xia Kingdom in this sense.
When this kind of creature that does not exist on the earth came to Cameron.
Cameron's heart was extremely shocked.
He touched the dragon's scales with his hands.
This cold and moist feeling made it impossible for him to forget it for the rest of his life.
"Ride it and have a try." Yang Fei said.
Seeing Yang Fei riding the flying dragon, Cameron followed suit.
After getting ready, the flying dragon flapped its wings and took off, soaring in the sky and among the majestic mountains.
In an instant, it skimmed over the surface of the water again, and the cold sea water splashed on Cameron's face.
This sense of flight, this sense of weightlessness, was indeed transmitted to Cameron's mind through the sensor of the device.
Incomparably realistic and incomparably exciting.
If he is a movie actor, he thinks that the expression on his face is completely in line with the setting of the movie, and he doesn't even need to reshoot or call cut.
Flying Dragon took Cameron and others to see a lot of scenery in the copy of the God of the Original Dao, and then stopped in a place full of fireflies and glowing plants.
With such a wonderful spirit in front of him, Cameron can't tell which part is reality and which part is the virtual world.
He is even willing to put aside the real world and live in this beautiful virtual world.
"How about it, sir, compared to your special effects team, the modules built by our virtual world should not be bad."
Cameron is a very decisive person, he immediately made a decision and said: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Yang, I sincerely hope to cooperate with you, and hope that your company can create a world system for Avatar 2 that belongs to it."
"As long as you can meet my requirements and price conditions, you can mention them casually! I will definitely persuade the investor to complete this investment!"??Call cut.
