Chapter 394: Woo meow king!
??Chapter 394 Woo Meow King!
?? To be honest, when Roland Allen listened to the old man's words, his heart was actually very emotional.
??Because behind the success of "Avatar" is a scene of rivers of blood.
Although Weta Digital's motion capture technology created Peter the Great's "Lord of the Rings", but the cost of 300 million is a real effort, and in order to test the facial performance capture technology and capture restoration system again and again, Robert Ze Mikis even stumbled twice in films such as "The Polar Express" and "Beowulf". Not only that, but "Artificial Intelligence", which introduced collaborative camera imaging technology for the first time, also hit the street. The 3D virtual image capture camera system "Very Small Agent 3D" and "3D Little Raiders" are even more dead.
??When these guys spent one and a half billion one after another, the precious data experience is the root of the success of "Avatar".
?? Without them, there would be no box office-defying film history.
?? Without them, James Cameron would not be able to ascend to the altar again.
??These guys are real filmmakers, and he...
??From the bottom of his heart, he is just a capitalist who regards movies as an upward channel.
?? That's all.
?? But there's nothing wrong with being a capitalist.
??After all, in these countries that prohibit the promotion of negative comments on capitalism, the richest one hundred people can directly influence the will of the Congress.
??Thinking in this way, Roland has no regrets in his heart.
??Nodding slightly, he said, "According to the current situation, the technology to support your next movie is actually complete?"
?? "If it is not complete, then why should I get a 3D virtual image capture camera system?" The old man asked back.
?? "That's right." Roland smacked his lips, "Then the patent of this technology is also in your hands now?"
"With George in control of Industrial Light and Magic, Steven still holds the imaging technology of the collaborative camera in his own hands, so why can't I use the 3D virtual image capture camera system in the digital field? Guila under my name?" The old man blinked at Roland, and the smile on his face revealed everything.
In fact, the 3D virtual image capture camera system was not created by the truck driver alone. The guy who cooperated with it and his queen cameraman Vince Pace, after inventing this shooting technology, the two So he registered a group called Cameron Pace, and firmly grasped the 3D art in his hands.
??So, the guy who laughed at the truck driver when he sold the digital realm to Michael Bay was really an idiot!
And when the digital domain was acquired by Galloping Horse, and then swallowed by Xiangjiang Capital Aoliang Group, renamed as Digital Domain, and then undertook a lot of special effects such as "Avengers 3 and 4", he laughed at James Cameron's , and even more silly beep!
??When the field of special effects has become a red sea market, and the vast majority of the market share is divided between Industrial Light & Magic, which focuses on mechanical flow, and Weta Digital, which focuses on life flow, it would be foolish to continue to fight here!
?? Instead of spending money on research and development of new technologies every year, it is better to turn to the blue ocean market to achieve monopoly!
?? Not to mention, in the 3D field, the Cameron Pace Group is unrivaled!
?? Say ten thousand and ten thousand, the old man also wants to be capital.
?? And in this world, who doesn't want to be a master?
??Since this is the case, Roland also lost his intention to buy it.
??Anyway, judging from the current situation, even if he does not buy, he can still raise the banner of technical barriers.
?? Are all our own people!
??Whose is not used?
?? "Okay then, second question, what is your next project?"
"Why are you asking this? Do you want to participate?" The old man asked jokingly, "Are you moved by my plan and ready to participate in my project? Let me tell you, this kind of thinking is the right one! If you come Acting, the guarantee is a new box office record of 2 billion, and if Kate is brought together, 3 billion is even less!"
The old man never regarded Roland as an outsider from the beginning to the end. The reason why he dragged Roland to chatter as soon as he entered the door was because after being rejected many times, he was too eager for the inflow of funds, and when Roland pierced the window After the paper, he dared to say anything without psychological pressure. As for Roland, would he have a temper?
??If Roland had a temper, he wouldn't have lent him 10 million to help him pay the divorce fee.
?? "Let me come back? Don't you want the life of other companies?"
Roland, who also understood that the old man was joking, didn't carry it, but changed his posture, leaning on the back of the chair, shaking his legs casually, and said, "If Xiying comes back, I can create a world A new record at the box office, so after the record is born, I will take a break from filming, and then come back in a few years, won't I be able to set a new record?
??I'm only in my twenties now, even if I come back every five years, it will only take forty years for me to be in the top ten box office in film history. If this is the case, what other film companies are doing? Just watch me play alone!
??By then, what Hollywood Walk of Fame? What are the world's top 100 movie stars? What are the top ten superstars on the surface?
??They can all just watch my tail lights eat ashes! "
??The old man was delighted to hear the stinky fart's words, and said bitterly: "Then it's better like this!
??Every time you make a comeback, I will shoot it!
?? In this way, I will also have my share on the military medal!
??If you count my teacher-student relationship, even if you win the top ten film box office box office, I can beat you! "
When the two of them uttered words like sand sculptures in a serious tone, the spontaneous beeping wind made the restaurant a joyful atmosphere, and when the old man found out, the extremely depressed heart relaxed a lot Finally, the calmness that followed made him instinctively reach for his pockets with both hands, took out a cigarette, and wanted to light one for himself.
??However, before he could light the fire, the sound of "cough, cough, cough" came.
?? After realizing that Roland rolled his eyes wildly, the old man who came to his senses immediately put away his things.
??Because he understands that Kate won't let Roland smoke, and once Roland smells of smoke out of her sight, then...
??A question is indispensable.
?? "Your life is really..." The old man shook his head, not knowing how to evaluate it.
However, he didn't get entangled in this topic, and returned to the topic, "In 1995, when I showed you the scripts of "Titanic" and "Spiderman", the script of my next project was actually written. alright.
?? That is a story that takes place in outer space.
??More than a hundred years later, humans have discovered other life in the universe, and they can use technological means to send human souls into the bodies of aliens, and this is how the protagonist embarks on an adventure in aliens.
??Because the story takes place in an alien world, we need to shape the alien’s body, and because the previous models cannot achieve the effect of live action, so I need to use a bunch of techniques to convert the actor’s appearance into an alien creature. "
??The old man just talked about creativity, and didn't mention the specific plot, because those things are not important.
??If Roland really wanted to read it, he could throw him the draft of the script at any time.
??After Roland listened to the old man's description, he knew that the "Avatar" project had really started to work, and the reason why he asked this question was actually because of his own selfishness—
?? "You mean, you've finalized the script?"
?? "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
?? "Uh... I mean, is there room for revision in the script?"
?? "This? Of course there is! There is only a draft now, and there is a lot of room for modification!"
?? "No no no, I think you misunderstood me, I mean, abandon this script and start a new story?"
?? "Huh?" The truck driver was stunned, he didn't understand what Roland meant, "What did you say?"
??Roland was extremely sober, "What I'm talking about is, can you shoot with a new script while retaining all the techniques?
Your current goal is nothing more than to combine the strengths of various companies and realize the innovation of film technology. If this is the case, showing technology is your real goal, and the so-called script is just a platform for you to display your technology. .
?? So, the Alien Project isn't really necessary, is it?
?? Let the audience be moved by the new world you created, let the audience linger in the beauty of the new world, that is the greatest success, and in this case, is the script story really important? As long as the guys on the screen aren't purely human, that's enough! "
Yes!
??Roland came for "Avatar", but he didn't come for "Avatar", because the core of "Avatar"'s success is not "Avatar" itself, but the epoch-making technology!
??The plot of "Avatar" is actually very simple. A guy named Jack participated in an alien energy mining project, so he arrived on the planet Pandora, got an avatar, and became an alien.
In order to obtain energy mines, the organizers of the mining plan are divided into two factions. The guys headed by the military think that they must conquer the aliens, while the workers headed by science think they have to trade peacefully. When fists are the last word, The army won the victory naturally, and Jack, the male protagonist who had served in the army, became their target. He was assigned by the military to penetrate into the alien natives and collect information related to it.
??After the male lead's exploration, humans discovered that the place where the energy mines are most concentrated is the home of the aliens, under the tree of gods they believe in, and if they want to mine, they must be driven away, so a war broke out.
The military conquers the city and the aliens protect their homeland. The male protagonist Jack and the scientists stand on the side of conscience and fight against his own kind. Because of the aura of the protagonist, even though the alien natives only have fists and bows and arrows, they are still fighting against each other. With the help of the protagonist, he won the victory, but he chose to become the protagonist of the alien—
?? Also lived a shameless life with the alien princess.
?? To be honest, there is really nothing new in this old-fashioned business script.
?? The root of the whole movie to capture people's hearts is the ultimate 3D experience!
James Cameron brought the film back to the beginning of its birth, which amazed the audience, moved the audience, made the audience happy, and made the audience cry. What supports all of this is the jellyfish seeds that are within reach, flying around The fluorescent insects are the floating mountains floating in mid-air, and the Pandora right in front of us...
?? To put it bluntly, when you have motion capture, performance capture, capture and restoration, collaborative imaging, and 3D virtual image capture photography system, no matter what story you shoot, it is impossible to hit the street!
?? This is like the first time human beings touched black and white movies, first touched movies with sound, first touched color movies, first touched special effects movies, and first touched CGI!
??This can only be the era of 3D!
?? Instead of 3D in what era!
??In this case, why did you make "Avatar"?
When humans first came into contact with black and white movies, as a new industry, he did not bring people greater profits, but when humans first came into contact with sound movies, Walt Disney seized the opportunity to launch Mickey!
??After that, the color film let Snow White shine!
??The advent of special effects makes Star Wars enduring!
?? And what about CGI?
?? No matter how bad the Jurassic filming is, the special ones start with a billion dollars!
??This **** is outrageous!
??In this way, "Avatar", a project that is not easy to be a movie universe, can actually be pushed.
??Let more emotional stories and more handsome people come from behind!
??For example—
?? "Since you hesitate, let me tell you a story first..."
Seeing that the old man couldn't give him a positive answer for a while, Roland cleared his throat and said to himself: "In the vast starry sky, there is a beautiful planet, which is the hometown of many races. Once gave birth to elves, humans, dwarves, tauren, goblins, trolls, gnomes and dragons...
??Each race has its own characteristics, and has ruled this planet in different periods.
??From the ancient **** who governs the elements, to the guardian dragon in charge of life, arcane, dreams, time, and the earth, to the troll holding the dark spear, and the night elf obsessed with arcane...
??These creatures have all bloomed their own brilliance on this beautiful planet.
??Unfortunately, the good life didn't last forever. One day, a dark door connecting to other worlds opened, and two alien races, orcs and ogres, invaded this planet. Since then, the flames of war have been raging.
?? During this period, many things happened. Countless races rose and countless races declined. Human beings were united to resist alien invasion, but also split due to uneven interests. The protagonist of our story was born when human beings declined.
??His father was the ruler of the entire Lordaeron, and the strongest leader since the Arathor Empire was divided, and on the day he was born, the entire forest of Lordaeron whispered his name...
?? Alsace! "
?? That's right!
??Roland's fundamental purpose is not to pick the peaches of "Avatar", but to turn the story of the fight between the blue mining villains into the autobiography of Arthas, the number one filial son of Warcraft!
??What is the success of "Avatar"?
?? Isn’t it the truth under the cross-age technology?
?? Is the Na'vi at your fingertips really attractive?
?? Stop talking nonsense!
?? When it came out, the audience just exclaimed the visual wonder!
??In this case, why not replace the Na'vi with something cooler and more stylish?
??If the appearance of the blue-skinned Na'vi gave the audience an unprecedented visual expression, what about when the showdown between the Lich King Arthas and the demon hunter Illidan appeared on the screen?
?? Isn't this more powerful than a group of blue-skinned villains dragging their spears to fight each other?
??If the shaping of Pandora presents an unprecedented different world to the audience, what about when the war in Azeroth is raging, and the orcs, elves, trolls and goblins appear one by one?
??Visual effects, direct explosion!
??Since you have a mature world view in your hands, why don't you come to make a movie?
??Since we are making a film with cool visual effects, let’s shoot the coronation plot of “The Frozen Throne” first!
??Using Peter Jackson's way of treating "The Lord of the Rings", briefly describe Alsace's previous experience, and then start from the plot of helping Nordson, let him fight from beginning to end!
??When Arthas defeats Illidan, holding Frostmourne, and boards the Frozen Throne, the whole movie will end, and after that, the memories of the origin can be filmed one by one!
Slowly introduce the world of Azeroth from the perspective of Alsace, just the birth of Alsace, the defense of Steinbrad, Ner'zhul, the purification of Stratholme, the coast of Northrend, patricide, etc. The plot can lead to a bunch of characters!
?? As for whether the audience likes it or not?
hehe…
??In Roland's previous life, after "Avatar" was released, a group of people attacked the protagonist's three views, thinking that he was a human being who helped alien species, which was simply a betrayal of the race, but...
?? Does this bashing work?
??At the same time, a bunch of people also criticized the core of the plot, thinking that the love between the protagonist and the alien heroine progressed inexplicably, and the life-and-death relationship without foreshadowing was simply not contagious, but...
??Is this criticism useful?
?? In the face of historical innovation, do audiences have the right to choose?
??When the wheel of history rolls forward, all the criticisms are like a mantis' arm!
??When the beauty at the beginning of the film reappeared, the so-called connotation was just Wen Qing's stubborn struggle!
??If you don’t like something that the people love, who are you?
Note: ?Before filming "Avatar", the 3D virtual image capture camera system was tested many times, such as "Very Small Agent 3D", "Little Raiders", "Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D", "Miley Cyrus Concert Documentary" " actually used this. Among them, "Miley Cyrus Concert Documentary" is still made by Disney. If it can't get the first place in history, it will be the second place in history. Disney is really accurate on this point. When "Alita" was released, the reason why many people said that the movie was actually made by a truck driver was because the director of "Alita" Robert Rodriguez was the director of "Very Little Secret Service 3D" The director of "Little Raiders", to put it bluntly, this guy is actually the truck driver's queen technical tester. He has new technologies in every movie, and then all the truck drivers provide support. ?The plot of "Avatar" was indeed badly sprayed. The behavior of the protagonist's betrayal of human beings makes people puzzled. At the same time, the love of pulling hips makes people unbelievable. This thing is the truck that made "Titanic" The driver took it, but these criticisms are useless. In the face of true 3D, no criticism can stop its rise.
