After experiencing the novelty of officially piloting the Avatar and accepting Colonel Gerod's invitation to lurk, Jack embarked on his first official scientific mission, leaving the base and entering the primeval jungle of Pandora.

Now that the background and beginnings are introduced, it's time to enter the new world and begin the next phase.

Song Mingyang didn't forget to lift his glasses at this time, looked down at his watch, and the time was displayed at 8:29 minutes, which made him nod his head again, and then put down his glasses again.

Very precise stage system.

For ordinary audiences, film shooting is a very general concept, it seems that as long as it is a good story, it is a good movie, but in terms of specific production, the movie itself has many specific concepts that have been summarized.

For example, the three-part story structure that is most commonly used in filmmaking.

The so-called three-stage style is the beginning of the story (usually including the background introduction), the development and the climax of the end of the three parts, this is the most commonly used shooting structure in film production, simple, attractive to the audience but very effective, but just the structure is not enough, there is still time.

It is also a three-part format, a movie can put one hour in each part, then this is a three-hour movie, and it can also be put in half an hour in each part, then this is a standard one and a half hours, how to choose the time, is a problem.

Of course, this question is not directed at the director.

In film shooting, directors often have a lot of shooting materials, not to mention three hours, or even six hours of finished film can be pulled out for you, so this time choice is relative to the audience.

It depends on what kind of timing the audience prefers.

Filmmakers need to find the best time period for the audience, and the summary of more than 100 years of experience gives an answer.

Half an hour per stage, with a total length of 90 to 100 minutes, is the best time arrangement, if the time of each stage is too long, the audience's attention will gradually be lost, reducing the attraction of the film to the audience, and affecting the audience's senses. For example, in some three-hour movies, it is easy for the audience to see the more tired they watch the back, and even see the situation of falling asleep in the back.

This is one of the important reasons why the vast majority of movies are 90 minutes in standard length.

Of course, the standard duration of 90 minutes of the film is also affected by some other factors, such as the capacity of the film disc that occupies a long period of history (a roll of film holds about 15 minutes), and the influence of human physiological factors (sitting for a long time with back pain, wanting to go to the toilet) and so on.

However, the audience's concentration angle is a very important factor, and the stage system was born.

A three-part film, each stage can conform to the half-hour stage system from the perspective of ensuring the integrity and smoothness of the story, although there is no guarantee that the film will be successful and attractive, but it is always more likely to succeed than a film that does not conform to this law.

In this regard, "Avatar" does a good job and is very accurate.

……

Jack's man-made Avatar team entered the primeval jungle to carry out scientific research, and after a while, he encountered danger and encountered a fierce local beast, and Jack was separated from the other members of the team in the process of escaping, and met a real female Avatar, Natalie played by Song Yi, of course, it is difficult to see Song Yi's appearance from that completely unfamiliar virtual face.

He was rescued by the other party, but judging by Natalie's reaction, she recognized Jack as the outsiders and was disgusted with him for this. However, unexpectedly, the seed of the Tree of Souls was unusually close to Jack, which had never happened before, and made Natalie change her mind and prepare to take Jack back to the tribe's location, but these Avatars were obviously disgusted with earthlings, which can be seen from the reactions of other Avatars: On the way back to take Jack, they met a team of Avatars and launched an attack on Jack, and it was Natalie who announced the miracle, which made them not do anything, and captured Jack back to their tribe's base camp.

In Natalie's base camp with their tribe, Jack, an alien, was also hostile to most of the Avatars, and he hoped to come to learn and bring peace, but he was not believed, and in the end, it was the tribe's oracle Zashik who accepted Jack and gave him the opportunity to stay in the Okatia tribe to survive and learn, hoping to bring Pandora and Earth a chance to resolve the conflict peacefully.

At this point, Jack became a celebrity in the base.

The members of the research team were talking about him enthusiastically, as this was something that the research team had never achieved before, and Colonel Gerald and the head of the base, Mr. Parker, were also proud of him, because Jack had managed to sneak in, which was also something they had not done.

Jack's whole state is also different, from the lifeless in the past, he began to become more and more energetic and energetic, all of which was presented through Shen Huan's natural performance.

But Colonel Gerald and Mr. Parker did not abandon their plans for an armed attack because of this.

"Education, Healthcare, Roads...... We gave them everything, but they didn't want anything but to play with the mud. ”

Mr. Parker was obviously speechless about the Avatars, "It would be embarrassing to kill the natives, but there is only one thing that shareholders care about more than those media scandals, and that is the ugly quarterly statements." These are not my rules, so help me find a way to get them out of there, otherwise, I'll have to use our means, understand?"

"You still have three months to go. ”

Colonel Gerald was also putting pressure on Jack, "By then, the bulldozers will get there." ”

Here, with a somber soundtrack, the opposite image of these two executioners who put pressure on Jack and feared that Jack would be soft-hearted has been erected.

As the male lead, Jack was supposed to be on the opposite side of them, but what neither they nor the audience expected was that Jack was even more radical than them.

"Aren't we wasting our time?"

Jack smiled disapprovingly.

It seems that he is even more eager than the two of them to wait for the war to happen and start a killing, which really does not fit the positive image of a protagonist, and people can't help but feel disappointed in him.

……

When Song Mingyang saw this, he finally took the time to look down at his watch.

It was already 8:58, and he didn't notice it at all.

Because of this new movie-watching experience, in the past half an hour, he has been completely immersed in this new world with Jack: the vast primeval jungle, which shrinks into a small burst of gorgeous red flowers when touched, the glowing ground when he walks through it, the seeds of the Tree of Souls that are like a combination of jellyfish and dandelions, the transparent plants that light up when you shoot and look like giant mushrooms, and the language that is completely unfamiliar......

It's all so real, and so magnificent and magical, that people can't help but immerse themselves in this magical world, as if they have really come to a new world for adventure, thus ignoring the passage of time.

And the time of 8:58, and Jack's reaction performance, it is not so simple, Song Mingyang understood the meaning of it.

It's another marker and a stage symbol, and it's still so precise.
