Li Zhifan is really standing too high, so the public's expectations for him are also very high.

Therefore, Li Zhifan said that "the shooting of "Avatar" is very simple", not that he really thinks that the filming technology of this movie is not difficult, on the contrary, the technology is very difficult, at least many technologies can only be completed by Hollywood's special effects team, and the usefulness of saying this is to lower everyone's expectations.

When everyone's expectations are lowered, and they feel that the "simple" film will no longer replicate the previous height, it will bring a sense of amazement after the movie is officially released.

If everyone looks at this movie at the highest value as soon as it comes up, it is easy for the audience to have a gap in the viewing experience, resulting in all kinds of burials.

In addition to the sentence "Avatar is very simple to shoot", Li Zhifan will also make all kinds of unintentional actions in the follow-up, secretly contacting all self-media and public accounts, creating the illusion to the audience that "this is just an ordinary and simple movie, Li Zhifan's new work to test the waters in Hollywood".

It's cold in the heights!

When Li Zhifan sighed with emotion, he really felt that he had climbed too high, after all, among the global Chinese stars, he was the first to enter Hollywood and stand in this position.

……

Two weeks later.

The casting work has been completed, and the online voting for the heroine has also ended.

The first place in the vote was a Hollywood actress named Emma Fanning, who was born in Brazil, but she was an out-and-out white girl to French parents.

Emma Fanning's experience of winning the first place was also very thrilling, she almost fell out of the top 30 before, but after the promotion, she went all the way, and finally won the first place with a large score and a large number of votes in the top five of the decisive battle.

As for Liang Wei, who had been voting hard for the Chinese before, she was eliminated when she was promoted to the top 20, which is a pity.

However, Li Zhifan still sent her an invitation to participate in a small supporting role in "Avatar", but unfortunately her agency directly rejected it and thought it was a disgraceful appearance.

Now that the roles have been chosen, the start date of filming has also been put on the agenda.

is different from the theatrical release version in the impression of audiences from other worlds, what Li Zhifan wants to shoot is the 178-minute extended full version released in the second round, because the public version is not the most perfect display of "Avatar", only the 178-minute extended version can be called an epic movie.

The 178-minute version of "Avatar" can almost be drawn from the classification of science fiction films that have always been despised, and the difference between it and the 162-minute theatrical version, in the 178-minute full version, the added plot is far more than the "talk is better than nothing" Neville-style sex, and there are many small details that supplement the coherence of the story, the big paragraphs include hunting scenes and memories of the old Neville school, and the small passages include some scenes of cohesion.

Especially in the hunting scene in the full version, there is a creature that has never shown its face in the theater version, and it can cut down such a special effects creature that takes time and energy, especially a lot of money, Li Zhifan admires the original director Cameron.

In another world, "Avatar" brought far more than the titles of "the highest box office movie" and "the epic blockbuster of show-off special effects", which prompted the global theater chain to carry out a large-scale upgrade of its equipment at that time, which was a benign development, and also led to the later large-scale production of IMAX-3D movies, and even formed a routine.

In this world, in the current era, cinema projection equipment has far surpassed the IMAX-3D standard, and the 32K giant screen, the current highest-level film standard, has been released.

However, IMAX-3D is still the standard commonly used in movie theaters, and many theaters also generally use 8K giant screens.

After the release of "Avatar", it is expected that the four systems of 3D, IMAX-3D, 8K giant screen, and 16K giant screen will be used simultaneously around the world, giving audiences more choices, and in some theaters in North America that have installed 32K giant screens, William Entertainment can also provide exclusive film sources for them.

The advantage of this multi-format release is that the audience can enter the theater multiple times to watch different formats, and at the same time, it can also achieve the goal of high box office.

Other directors make movies, for fear that their movies will not be watched by the audience, for fear that everyone will complain when they see that he is not serious.

But Li Zhifan is completely the opposite, uploading his photos on Kuaibo and Irs at regular intervals every day, sometimes posing with the actresses on the set, sometimes drinking coffee in the coffee shop on the corner, sometimes reading books and posing in front of the balcony of the hotel, and even taking photos with the actors filming together in the men's toilet.

Anyway, it gives people a feeling of not doing their job, and during the two-month filming, Li Zhifan also returned to China and held two concerts.

Li Zhifan's global tour has not completely ended, but there are only a few performances left, and within this year, they will all be over, but until the next tour, I don't know if it is the Year of the Monkey.

In short, Li Zhifan is no longer like he was very busy when he filmed the "Infernal Affairs" series and "Wolf Warrior" before, no matter how you look at him, he looks like a very idle person.

In fact, it is not easy to create this kind of casual appearance, especially when you are very busy, and it is not easy to pretend to be very relaxed.

With his successful shaping and the promotion of online self-media, the expectations of "Avatar" are really decreasing.

"Li Zhifan is making a feature film this time!"

"It is said that all the content of "Avatar" was filmed in the studio, and there was no location. ”

"Avatar" is the story of a human falling in love with a mutated leopard girl in the forest, and the male and female protagonists don't have to go to the forest to shoot at all. ”

"I heard that "Avatar" is a science fiction film about humans and aliens, the heroine is an alien human landing on Earth, and the two of them finished everything in the hero's house, and finally the heroine left the earth on the spaceship that came to pick her up. ”

“……”

All kinds of rumors are getting more and more true, although everyone is different, and they don't even know what the specific content of "Avatar" is, but all the self-media say that they have noses and eyes, as if they really interviewed Li Zhifan.

In this case, the heartache of netizens and fans is predictable.

However, under the excuse of fans with "challenging Hollywood live-action movies for the first time and testing the waters", the public gradually accepted the setting and tone of "Avatar will not be a cow beep movie", and the popularity has dropped day by day, gradually being replaced by other new things.
