Hollywood legendary director

Apart from Natalie Portman, these four actors have a worldview conflict. After all, everyone does not know Marvel’s next plan. It is impossible for the existing actors to transition from other related works to eliminate cross-play. The other three Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

But after Lehman's confirmation, Kevin Fitch didn't entangle too much. At the end of the last round, he decisively discussed the contract rules with Scarlett's agent team.

Because Black Widow doesn't have many appearances, and there are long-term contract restrictions, the pay she can get is just like that. What she needs is an additional bonus. The first "Iron Man 2" 300,000, Scarlett's team is still very happy.

And when the Hollywood movie market was newly added to the summer battlefield by Pixar Studios, the annual animation masterpiece "Flying House Tour", soaring to the sky with 68.2 million US dollars in its first week, Lehman and several senior leaders in Colombia Cameron came to the studio.

"This is our experimental studio."

Cameron, as the owner of this place, roughly showed that the scale and floor space are very small, and it may even be a temporary construction site. He pointed to the complex camera operation system inside, and introduced with some interest: "It looks like only It can cover a small area, but it has been able to take corresponding shots. In the future, when it really enters the shooting stage, there will be more demand for cameras."

He just finished speaking and immediately beckoned, and a 30-year-old worker next to him who was in charge of maintenance moved quickly and put on the motion capture modeling equipment, "Lloyd, do a few demonstrations."

Cameron commanded, looking at Lyman, "You'll see how interesting it is later."

Lehman looked curiously at this familiar hand called Lloyd. With the help of another person, he finally fixed a helmet with rubber contacts on his head and a microphone-like recording device in front of his face.

Facing several camera positions, dense green dots captured by facial expressions were also pasted according to the camera angle.

When everything was ready, Lehman and Columbia's high-level executives approached the director's monitor, carefully staring at the feedback.

I saw Lloyd blinking deliberately and opening and closing his mouth. The monitor was still his own action, while the processor on the same screen was the face of a Pandora, doing the same gesture, although it was just a prototype, without passing The rendering is a bit rough, but it can basically be seen that this is a character blueprint created by modeling Lloyd's face.

"Great."

"Very delicate expression, even the look in the eyes has changed." Everyone was amazed.

Especially Lehman, he has been exposed to these technologies, and the digital field is doing its best in public relations. Of course, he knows how powerful Weta Digital's system is.

"Haha. In fact, we were also trapped before. Real cg can't be as smart as humans. This is the biggest difficulty." Cameron said triumphantly: "We all know that pure computer-synthesized cg audiences will not buy it at all. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into the uncanny valley and be boycotted by fans. The death of "Final Fantasy" taught our team a great lesson.

The fact is like this. Without human participation and enlightenment, there will be a lack of a certain soul. This is why I named this movie "Avatar". I want to know if the Indian gods view their incarnations this way."——

Avatar is a Hindu rank (avatar), most commonly believed to be related to the physical manifestations of the gods on the ground.

From this perspective, the deconstruction of the script is also very clear. The male protagonist is inconvenient to move, so he walks in the new world as a Pandora.

"Although you can see the shadow of Lloyd's performance from this character, it always feels a bit strange?" A senior in Colombia said: "I heard that Mr. Cameron rejected Leonardo's request to appear. Why? "

"If possible, I am willing to increase the budget. Please a superstar, it is more secure for all of us." Lehman was also unambiguous, and followed the words with a very good expression.

Cameron frowned, but what he said made sense, "You all guess it’s a budget issue, but in fact, the real money for "Avatar" has always been the filming itself and the post-production rendering, not the popular ones. The actors are not good, but the price is not high.

For one thing, it’s always troublesome to work with big-name celebrities. Their management team is hard to deal with. It’s like Leo. Even if I know him well, he is not the carefree and carefree person he was when he was filming "Titanic." I dare to try everything. I am a very energetic person. After I told him about the role, his first reaction was not a question of pay, but said that walking around in front of a green screen with equipment is still a performance?

How much space does the role play?Will too few positive scenes damage his image?

Look, he and his team are full of this. They don’t care why the movie is made like this. His agent also suggested that Leo’s scenes should be reduced if he starred in the film. How could this be possible? I don’t at all. Will agree.

Secondly, the biggest role of a movie star in a movie should be to increase competition and raise the bargaining chip, but "Avatar" has little demand for this aspect.I'm sure that the biggest reason that can attract the audience to the theater must be the special effects spectacle different from any movie.I am very confident in this regard, and you have seen part of it.

Therefore, performance opportunities are not something that the original work can account for, it ranks behind many elements."

Cameron pointed to the effect lens, "Anyway, the actors only need to be familiar with how to control facial expressions. The surrounding HD cameras will transmit various data back to the host, and then build models according to program settings. As long as you continue to refine, As the data becomes more and more abundant, the final character image will be a real incarnation and leave traces of people. I think many actors can do it.

Perhaps, this is the movie with the lowest demand for looks and figure for actors in history?If this technology is available, Schwarzenegger would not have to get fit and shape after acting every day when filming "Terminator 2," and he called me tortured him."

"Haha." Lyman couldn't help laughing.

Sometimes, Cameron still has a little humor, but from his remarks, it is not difficult to see that this technology is simply obliterating the future of the actor.

Just wearing a "mask" performance, the threshold really drops too much, and there are fewer things to consider.

What restricts the actor’s path is likely to be a matter of appearance and temperament. For example, Heath Ledger, even if he overwhelms Batman's limelight by relying on the corner of the clown, Hollywood management will still not give that kind of American hero role. He, only in some weird characters or spectacle themes, he has high value.

Otherwise, he would violate the peace, and put on a mask, and all the sense of violation was reduced to the lowest point. As long as he wanted to, he could play any role. Anyway, what he gave was only the traces of the soul, and nothing else was involved.
