Hollywood legendary director

"Perhaps, after reading it, I believed the slogan on the poster: Beyond imagination. This really surpassed my imagination. Congratulations, James, you have completed another masterpiece. Its visual effects are definitely so far. The only one."

At the interview meeting after the film, the reporter from Le Figaro was given the first right to ask questions, and following his words, other newspaper reporters in the venue gave a spontaneous applause and expressed their appreciation for the "Avatar" "Recognition.

"But we also know that this movie costs a lot of money. Before seeing the film, everyone might be thinking about how such a sum of money was spent. After all, this movie does not spend much money on actors, but Now I think the direction of everyone's doubts should be the other way around. Is 350 million enough for such a magnificent visual enjoyment?"

Suddenly, there was a lot of laughter on and off the stage-as of the premiere, Firefly did not disclose the cost of the movie. Many things were speculations given by industry insiders based on the shooting process, and this "Le Figaro" "The reporter obviously wants to know the specific cost of "Avatar", which is actually a good news point, especially the completion of the film is very high under the high cost.

In other words, this newspaper that came to support from Paris, France, wisely chose a win-win problem that is not so annoying.

"The figures circulated outside are indeed somewhat different from our expenditures," Mann Media President Joseph took over the conversation with understanding, "There is one thing that many people have guessed right. "Avatar" is indeed the most expensive movie so far. The total expenditure of Firefly is at least 600 million yuan (the promotion period is far from ending), but we believe that the project can be profitable."

600 million more?The reporters got excited.

"So, will "Avatar" be a sequel? I noticed that this ending seems to be blank. There is still a lot of talk about the development of Pandora. The protagonist Jack also stayed here and did not return to Earth with the team." The reporter asked.

"If the box office is ideal, then we should start a sequel. Part of the huge amount of money spent on this movie is to construct the scene of the future city and Pandora. It has left us with a reusable legacy worth tens of millions. , We didn’t plan to throw it into the trash after the filming. Moreover, the story of "Avatar" is indeed not finished."

"Will it be directed by Mr. Cameron? We all know that the latest "Terminator: 2018" was badly filmed and the audience didn't buy it. This is still a very mature series."

"I will. Even if I don't direct, I will be a producer. "Avatar" is different from "Terminator"..." Cameron didn't want to talk about this, but in fact everyone Everyone knows that the control of "Terminator" is no longer in the hands of the director, who handles everything from script to shooting.

Of course, in the face of this masterpiece, reporters have too many things to ask, and this topic is skipped.

"By the way, Firefly will become an investor in this project. I took it from Disney. There is a gossip saying that it was the result of your full support of Lehman. May I ask Lehman, what kind of role do you think you play? In a process."

Most of the time, Lehman avoids excessive exposure to the spotlight in his life, which is harmful and unprofitable for a director. Should a director use his work to speak.

But at this moment, he also knew that he should stand up at the right time, "What attracts me is the shooting concept that promotes the film’s entry into the 3D era. Of course, I am only a member of the production team, and I did not give special help to the shooting work, and may have the greatest effect I’m providing funding, but this is what I did pretty well—"

The reporters all laughed, and Jon Landau also added, "Lyman's strong support is the biggest factor in the smooth shooting of this film." Although it is not necessary.

"You said that what attracted you to invest in the "Avatar" project was the concept of 3D shooting. Then, as a director who is also world-renowned, what do you think about the future of 3D shooting? A reporter grasped the core of the conversation and asked again Tao.

"I think it will become mainstream, just like digital shooting replaced film. As a filmmaker, everyone may find that the new generation of audiences who have grown up prefer to use games, television, and tubing as a means of entertainment. Movies do not make any progress in a day, this trend will become more and more obvious, so we have to use some specific technology to attract the audience.

In other words, what you can feel in a movie theater is different from what you can feel at home.

This is true for 3D, special effects, and imax giant screens. A differentiated experience is the future development of the film market.Of course, I'm not saying that you don't need a good story. Although "Avatar" is doing subtraction, who says that a simple story is not good?"

"From the perspective of investors, can you talk about the prospects and sources of confidence for "Avatar"?"

"Well, the source of our confidence is that after so many years of market development, special effects blockbusters are the most likely type to become explosives in the world. Although other themes are not without markets, special effects are the most intuitive. There is no doubt that the visual experience has become the common excitement of the global audience.

At this point, "Avatar" has an unparalleled advantage. It has to be plausible, "Avatar" does not lack the soil and environment for the outbreak."

"I take the liberty to ask, what is the box office valuation of "Avatar" for you and your team?"

Lehman glanced at Cameron and said without hesitation: "It will refresh the box office record."

There was a low exclamation at the reception. Maybe they all realized that Firefly's expectations were so high. "You mean, Director Cameron will break his record and break the box office of "Titanic" with 2.1 billion. recording?"

"Yes, doesn’t this number sound incredible? That’s already a record 12 years ago. After 12 years, fares are higher, screens are more, and the market value of movies is increasing year after year. Logically speaking, the ceiling is high. The height has long been higher."

The reporters thought that this director, who also used "Untouchable" to break the ceiling in France, seemed to find that he was indeed persuaded. At least from a market perspective, it was true, not to mention that the ticket price of the imax hall was also higher than normal. Field height, which is also a bonus item.

"Very fresh view, but we all know that in recent years, the "Harry Potter" series and even the "Spider-Man" trilogy relied on a very large fan carrier and failed to reach the ceiling. An original project, Is it really that high in expressiveness?"

"Isn't the combination of James and me a global guarantee?" Lyman smiled innocently.

Ok?Better than fans?
