Cameron said that he was asking for advice, but Mark would not take it seriously, he was the top master of commercial films, and a "Titanic" waited for ten years, and no one could catch up, how lonely it was, Mark was not crazy about this.

Mark changed the consultation to a discussion, and discussed that he was still qualified, as the director of IMXA's highest-grossing film to date, Mark is experienced in making IMXA films, and he has a good relationship with IMXA, and he can provide a lot of convenience.

"Avatar" is divided into 2D, 3D, and IMXA versions, 3D is the highlight, which James Cameron wants to show the audience, 2D is to seize the ordinary market, and IMXA is "the top luxury in the movie-watching industry", and future A-level blockbusters will follow this model.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Cameron revealed that he had been working on the location in New Zealand for four months, and that the test footage was excellent.

This time I returned to Los Angeles because "Avatar" and Paramount planned to shoot "Avatar: The Last Airbender" (Avatar): The Last Airbender, and I came back to deal with it, and after negotiation, Paramount agreed to remove the Avatar from the film.

Avatar began filming at Stone Street Studios in Wellington, New Zealand (where King Kong was filmed), while Cameron traveled between Wellington and Los Angeles to shoot Avatar's motion capture shoot at the former Hughes Aircraft Company factory in Los Angeles, now owned by DreamWorks.

The live-action shoot was done at Weta Digital's Stone Street Studio in New Zealand, and the two shoots took two months, and the special effects were especially one year and six months, and the special effects were the most important part of the film, and they were scheduled to release it in the summer of 2008.

Mark laughs, "That might be the same as my Dark Knight." ”

Cameron said, "It's going to be fun, isn't it?" Others will be afraid of Mark, but he has his confidence, and the results of "Titanic" are there, waiting for others to catch up?

Mark said: "But there are two things that are certain, first, your 200 million production funds are definitely not enough, and second, the release date of "Avatar" will definitely skip the ticket, and it will definitely not be released in the summer of next year." ”

James Cameron won't be called James Cameron if he doesn't skip the ticket, and there is a budget for this movie, if he doesn't overspend, no one will overspend.

Cameron raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure?"

Mark said: "Of course, the scene you need, the world you need to build, is definitely not a day or two can be completed, and, as a main 3D movie, there are only more than 800 screens, next year, it will be doubled, only 2,000, I believe December 2009 is the best time, when it is expected to have more than 3,000 3D screens, more than 100 IMXA giant screens, this is the time for the giant film "Avatar" to show its strengths." ”

This is Mark's analysis based on the facts of the original version, and it seems to be reasonable, but Cameron doesn't seem to sell it, saying: "Can you make sure your 'The Dark Knight' is on time?"

Mark said confidently: "There has never been a movie that has overrun the budget, and there has been no ticket jump, "The Dark Knight" will start filming in the middle of the year and will be released next year, it does not have many special effects shots, no need to wait, it can be released on time." ”

"Peter promised me that he would upgrade their supercomputer," Cameron said. ”

Weta Digital's computer, using the HP 3000BL cluster platform as its solution, the operating system is Linux, and the ranking in the TOP 500 supercomputers has also risen from more than 400 to more than 190, this set of environments in 2008 was 4096 cores, to 2009 increased to 5936, in the TOP 500 supercomputers once ranked first, IBM's walker is only 120,000 cores.

With a total memory of 104 TB, 10 Gigabit Ethernet inline, and no conversion cables, the BL2x220c is HP's blade server for high-performance computing, which is unique in that it has two servers in a blade, each server has two 4-core CPUs, and uses Intel Xeon processors (supporting EM64T technology).

About 3 petabytes of data for the entire movie are stored on the storage of Blue Arc and the domain storage company, and the data transmission is via Fibre Channel, and the data in one frame is 12 MB when the movie is completed, and 24 frames per second, there is 17.28 GB of data per minute, and the entire "Avatar" is more than 160 minutes long, which shows how many resources and equipment he has to use.

This is only James Cameron is qualified to play like this, Weta Digital in order to keep Cameron's heart, that is to show the housekeeping skills and do everything, but Mark is still in love with industrial light and magic, because he firmly believes that sooner or later it will be his.

Cameron likes special effects, likes to challenge authority and records, likes to try new things, starting with "Terminator 2", "True Lies" and "Titanic", playing bigger than the other at a time, to "Avatar", which has reached the peak, and "Avatar 2" it has waited another ten years, while Mark likes existing, mature technology.

After playing a special effects show in "Iron Man", his three films did not have any computer special effects, and "The Dark Knight" was more filmed with models.

But the conversation between them was pleasant, his face was very clean, his hair was longer, it looked a little fluffy and messy, he had learned to control his temper very well, but if there was impatience, he would still show it, and it could be seen that he was having a great time in the "Avatar" crew.

Mark is interested in the 3D camera and its technology recommended by Cameron, but this must be in line with the style of the movie, he will suggest that "Spider-Man 3" and "Transformers" adopt the method of transformation in the later stage and launch a 3D version, as for "The Dark Knight", which has a very realistic style, it is better not to toss the 3D style.

The conversation between the two sides was pleasant, Mark wanted to take advantage of Cameron, but his film investment rights were rigidly controlled by Twentieth Century Fox, and he would not be able to get his hands on this "Avatar", but he could take advantage of the 3D frenzy that Cameron set off to sweep the world, so now he has laid out in advance.

Cameron came today for a very obvious purpose, which is to take a fancy to the resources in Mark's hands and say hello in advance, hoping to get Mark's support when the movie is released.

This is a win-win situation for Mark, he has renovated the theater chain, and there must be high-quality resources to screen it, in order to support a theater chain, how many theater companies have closed down due to poor management?

The best cinema chain is the national entertainment company of the Lei Shidong family, Viacom Group is controlled by it, starting from the cinema screening, creating a media empire, and the later Wanda, which is also extremely strong, with the help of the rise of Huaxia, acquired AMC Cinema Line, forming the world's largest cinema company, controlling the screening channel and influencing the development of the industry.

If Mark hadn't had the brand new cinema chain in his hands that was about to be built, he wouldn't have been able to afford the bendtling of the king of the world.

After the New Year, Mark stayed in Netflix and continued to preside over his work, on the other hand, he was preparing for "No Country for the Old", as for the renovation of the theater, there will be a professional team to be responsible, Mark only provides strategic decision-making, and the specific work will be responsible for professionals.

After the New Year, the awards season has entered a white-hot stage, and there are two months left before the Oscars.

And MM's big event, on the one hand, is the promotional offensive of the awards season, and on the other hand, the release of "Twilight: Twilight", which is Mark's famous work, and the company has high hopes.

In 2006, it achieved brilliant results, Mark's "Iron Man" North Mi / the world is second place, it was suppressed by "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", it is the same there, but because of many blockbuster snipers, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" North Mi did not break 400 million, but the global market has won a billion US dollars, becoming the third global blockbuster to break through one billion, 210 million more than the 790 million of "Iron Man".

And the third place in North is "Night at the Museum", "Cars", "X-Men 3", "The Da Vinci Code" and "Superman Returns".

In terms of overseas, Tom Hanks's ability to attract money is still very strong, 780 million, handing over perfect results, only ranking third only after Mark's "Iron Man", MM is very good in that aspect.

But this is a thing of the past, and if you want to do well this year, it depends on everyone's efforts.

This year, Mark has two works released, "Twilight" and "No Country for Old Men", while MM has promoted blockbusters such as "Spider-Man 3", "Transformers", "The Hangover 2", "Youth Musical", "Ghost Rider", "Magic Mike", "Juno", "Captain America" and so on.

Of course, they want to continue to maintain the strength of last year, which requires everyone's efforts, and Bijing's other giant companies are not easy to mess with, they suffered losses last year, but also hope to regain their strength and regain lost ground.

Mark met Scarlett in his office, and after more than a month, Scarlett was more beautiful and feminine, but Scarlett, who had always been hot and enthusiastic, refused Mark's hug, and she said angrily: "You guy, did you hurt me?"

Mark shrugged his shoulders and questioned.

"I'm pregnant!" Scarlett said in shock.

Mark was stunned, and he was stunned, "What?"

Nietzsche said that men like to be dangerous and playful, and this marital infidelity is undoubtedly the most dangerous and exciting game, but now Mark has a kind of uneasiness about the East Window incident.

Scarlett said, "You heard me right!"

Mark didn't have the calmness of the boss of this big company, he seemed a little panicked, Giselle and Martin were his family, his future, and everything else was always a game, but now that the game came into reality and impacted his life, he was shocked and overwhelmed.

Now she is like a thief in the east window, afraid that the police will come to catch her, she said, "You can rest assured, I will beat it!"
