Hollywood legendary director

Cameron Studio, after running for a week or two, with sufficient financial support, "Avatar" was launched soon.

This matter can be concealed from outsiders and insiders. Many people know that Firefly invested more than 500 million, and after including follow-up propaganda, they went straight to more than 650 million. They lamented the strong cash flow of Mann Media. While Lehman was proud, he was also inexplicably emotional, waiting to see the joke.Money is not such a trick.

But in fact, this money is for Mann Media today, which means adding a little more to the money earned by the "American Team" and then throwing it in, and continuing to wait for it to double.

As of July 15th, "Beauty Team" has just been drawn for 9 days, with a total box office of 279 million in North America, 126 million overseas, and a global total of 405 million US dollars.

Counting 140 million production costs, 52 million publicity costs, 11 million transportation and labor expenses, and 47 million profit from sponsoring implants and patch advertisements.

Excluding the theater party, Fox can get 38.9 million from the box office share, and the offline profit is estimated to be 25.5 million, and the total project operation income is roughly 64.4 million US dollars.

Project producer Marvel can earn 31.72 million from the box office, with an estimated offline profit of 167 million, image derivatives 207 million, more than 62 million brand peripherals, 13.2 million comics business, and US team’s total revenue of approximately 48092 million US dollars, of which Haizhizhi Toy distributors such as Bao, HOTTOYS, etc. also earned around US$138 million, which is a win-win cooperation.

Moreover, Blue Butterfly Pictures is in charge of the North American distribution promotion process. The partnership with each link has deepened, and the operating cost has been relatively reduced. After all, the accumulation of channel sinking is actually a tricky task. The real effort is not only enough to operate A good project for the upstream and downstream to eat is that it takes time to get through and connect to a denser distribution network.

Liam led the team to follow the big brothers time and time again, using the channels of Warner, Columbia and other publishers to familiarize themselves with and improve themselves, and with such a repeated execution, it is inevitable that the background will increase until they stand up and provoke the big beam-just Like a spider with great patience, Lehman said inwardly.

"Metz, I will visit the "Avatar" crew in the next few days. If there is any work that needs to be done, remember to send me the email." Lehman ordered, and asked her to book a flight to New Zealand.

......

Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, the headquarters of Weta Digital is located here.

Drive along the main road for about 20 minutes. In the past, there were many forks in the past. In a comprehensive special effects base covering a large area, the "Avatar" crew has been here for several days and shot a lot of material.

Among them, Weta Digital has three studios, two small, one large, and the large one is equivalent to a football field. It is one of New Zealand’s top interior locations, plus this country encourages other regions. The film team from here comes here for filming and subsidies while also promoting the tourism industry, so the crews received every year are not young and old.

On the morning of the 16th, "Avatar" set.

Today’s scene is going to be filmed. It is Jack who enters the connection warehouse and transforms into a scene where the Pandora stars adapt to the body. Next to the set up basketball court scene, the male number one Sam Worthington is being dragged and worn by several staff members. equipment.

"I have to adapt, I have to perform well, I have to adapt, I have to perform well..."

Worthington, who allowed a group of people to play around as a tool, muttered in his heart to cheer himself up. He was just an actor born in a stage play, and he had no connections. The reason why he was selected was except for the face of an actor who Cameron thought he had acted The expression will know how to enlarge, suitable for mapping facial muscles, that is, the pay is low, the appearance is in the middle, and the face is very straight.

——The salary for this one is only 300,000 US dollars.

After getting dressed, Worthington stood in front of a huge green screen, surrounded by several high-definition cameras. Even after training for a period of time, he was still a little confused and agitated.

Although he hasn't played any male number one before, he has also mixed in Hollywood and has worked with big names such as Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver. He has rich acting experience, but he wears such a big helmet. , Her face is covered with dense stickers for capturing, and she is also a little unfamiliar with her performance.

Just like the old traffic niche Leo would ask: people are not a "person", is this really a show?

But the clapperboard was snapped on the spot, and the tyrant's eyes were betting, and he still tried to contribute his slightly exaggerated body movements according to the established scene.

Throughout the whole show, the real face shots totaled no more than 10 minutes. It was said that it was the male number one, and the shooting time was indeed the standard of the male number one. The cameras were all around him, but it felt not as good as the frontal shot of the supporting role before. many.

"OK, next game."

The tyrant was very satisfied with the actors he chose, and of course, when he was in a bad mood, he would still scold him.

......

It wasn't until noon that Lehman felt his mind more awake. After contacting Director Cameron for a while, he was ready to go.

In fact, the ratio of the location scenes of "Avatar" is lower than that of many commercial masterpieces. Even if I have been to Zhangjiajie Qiankunzhu in the mainland, what is presented is only a scene template of Pandora Star in the 3DFusionCamera system. The actors perform in front of the green screen and use them directly. Computer animation rendering can be generated.

In the welcome of Jon Landau, Lehman walked into the Weta Digital Base. Various product renderings highlight the brilliant record of this special effects giant. You can see "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" everywhere. "Movies such as "Movies" also remind people of how awesome Weta Digital's work is.

Along the way, I heard Cameron’s familiar voice first.

"Next scene, 10 minutes later."

When he entered, Cameron was stunned, then walked straight.

"You are here, Lyman."

The tyrant estimated that he was too busy, and after greeted casually, he returned to the monitor and held the storyboard to discuss with the camera.

Lehman didn't bother him at work either. Cameron was paranoid and irritable when filming. The whole world knew that when Lehman got along with him several times, it became clearer that the media did not talk nonsense.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the actor settled and the filming was about to take place, Cameron took a little time to chat with Lemando, "Look, here, the FusionCamera recording technology can be more intuitive and powerful than those demonstrated before. After the environmental simulation, you can take a closer look."

Cameron smiled, then looked at Lehman, "Remember those we discussed earlier? It already represents the future."

"Of course I remember that I would try to make a 3D movie if I had the opportunity."

On the screen, in addition to the beautiful scenery of Pandora's Star Wonder, Worthington, fully armed, is running and jumping hard. The inexplicable fusion of the two scenes makes people admire the innovation of the industry by technological progress.

So this time I come here, the visiting class is the second, and it is more important to learn how to use this technology to shoot...
