Chapter 199: Comments After the Premiere
The two of them who met for the first time were constantly touting, and in the end, Yu Dong couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the two.
After that, a few people chatted about business, it turned out that Wang Changtian took a fancy to the potential of the "Thai Embarrassment" series and wanted to get involved in the sequel, and the conditions he gave were also something Li Mu couldn't refuse.
Wang Changtian promised to use all resources to fight for the highest film schedule for "Thai Embarrassment" and "The Return of the Great Sage".
Li Mu agreed to this without hesitation, which is equivalent to having two giants jointly issued, and one of them does not need an issuance fee, so that Li Mu will definitely get more than a part of the benefits.
After all, with the success of "Thai Embarrassment", the salary of Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang for the next film will definitely not be a small number, not to mention that if Xu Zheng asks to participate in dividends or become a shareholder, Li Mu cannot refuse, after all, he is the soul of the "Embarrassment Series".
With the increase in costs and Xu Zheng's participation, it is impossible to imagine making hundreds of millions of dollars like this, and it is not unacceptable to share one.
No way, the market is like this, the bigger the cake, the more people want to share the cake, and some of them still can't refuse.
The two sides were very happy that they had achieved their goals, and the time was not early, so Li Mu took everyone back to the studio.
After asking Zhao Dong about the progress of the matter again, Li Mu went home first.
Today he has to go to bed early, and tomorrow he is going to get up in the middle of the night to see if things are going well.
Before going to bed, I read the report about "Avatar" on the Internet, and many reporters were also invited to this premiere, in order to spread the news of "Avatar" through their hands.
The news, of course, is good news, and those who can be invited are all greeted by Huaying in advance, so the content of the news is also praised.
"The premiere of "Avatar" is back, and it is unparalleled shocking!" This is a huge headline hanging on the front page of the Vine News.
"To be honest, my brain is still a mess now, and I was shocked by "Avatar", and I really don't know how to write this review. If you're looking for 3D special effects, it's definitely worth the ticket price; If you're watching it for the plot, you'll also earn back the ticket price. This is a revolutionary movie, and if you don't watch it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Let's talk about its special effects first, after watching the 3D of "Avatar", I realized that what I had seen before really couldn't be called 3D, at most 2.5D. Really, it's really different from the 3D we've seen in the past, and its realism makes me afraid of being shot by an arrow or being swept by a bullet when I watch it. The landscapes of Pandora are mesmerizing, and the colorful and exotic flora and fauna are stunning. Be amazed by the 900-foot-tall trees, the rocking mountains, the waterfalls, and the insects and trees that glow at night. And its details are also perfect, such as the equipment used by humans, which is so advanced that it makes people excited; There are also Na'vi people and the way they harness horses and birds are also very creative. When we watch the movie, it's like waiting for surprises to be revealed, and to see what Cameron wants to take out to scare us, he is indeed amazing, worthy of everyone's waiting and expectations. I'm running out of words, I can't describe it, let's see it for yourself, if conditions permit, you must see 3D and IMax. β
"It's finally here, Avatar!" ββFrom the headline of Netart News.
"Epic movies are not self-appointed, epic movies are not something you want to have, it always takes so many years before we have the luck to come across one. In the middle, many films want to wear that crown, but the head is either too small or deformed. We have seen a lot of this kind of film in recent years.
But there is one person, who seems to be the only one, who said that he wanted to make an epic, and it would be an epic. And it's a true epic. It's not in vain that he bragged at the Oscars. And even if it was this person, it would take twelve years after "Titanic" to make "Avatar". It's really not easy.
Of course you know who I'm talking about.
Because of all the expectations, publicity, and boasting before, I deliberately didn't read anything about "Avatar", and I didn't have any hopes, after all, there have been enough disappointments in the past few years. My caution and patience were rewarded tonight, and I can responsibly say that Avatar is a true epic.
Avatar contains all the elements of an epic movie. It is science fiction, fantasy, children's most magnificent dreams, it has the most romantic flight, there is also a very spiritual love, it pays attention to the hottest environmental theme, and does not forget to fight a few fierce and detailed battles. Most importantly, everything is naturally and organically intertwined in a simple story core of the confrontation between good and evil, so that the interesting becomes relevant, and only then will the audience be 100% lured into the beautiful and magical land of Pandora. An epic becomes an epic. β
"The simultaneous world premiere of the 3D blockbuster "Avatar", which took 14 years to create, is breathtaking. Visually stunning, Cameron has created a fantastic planet with his amazing imagination and mature cinematic techniques: Pandora.
From the grass and trees on the ground to the birds in the sky, everything is carefully crafted from the details. In order to present the dreamlike world of Pandora in "Avatar", I sincerely hope that one day China's film technology can also reach this height as soon as possible. From Douban's long review.
Here's what one of the audience members of the premiere heard from:
"It's been an hour since I got home, and my brain is still in the aftershocks. Epic, legendary, you can't imagine how gorgeous and dreamy this special effect is, and it's even poorer to express it in words. As a 2D controller, I have always believed that for the depiction of illusions and fairy kingdoms, the 3D effect can catch up with or even close to 2D, but this time Cameron made me change my mind. You can reminisce about the 2D images of the primeval forest in Princess Mononoke to imagine the alien world in the avatar with 3D special effects, but this world is more gorgeous and bizarre, and it is more accessible to you sitting in the theater. Grab a few blockbusters to compare, "Transformers", "The Lord of the Rings" can only crouch in the corner to cry, this is a future, the next generation of special effects films, none of the past films are embarrassed to compare special effects with "Avatar", I also doubt that there will be other films that can surpass it in three or five years. β
Li Mu looked at it one by one, a total of 500 people had watched the movie at the scene, excluding some viewers who could not comment such as the bosses of major companies, at most half of them would post on the Internet.
However, there are hundreds of posts about "Avatar" on major forums, and almost in an instant, it seems that everyone is praising the movie.
And the following comment is even more exaggerated:
I don't think it's an exaggeration to sum up "Avatar" with "opening a new era of Hollywood films".
This "Avatar", which took Cameron four and a half years to produce and spent nearly 500 million meters to build, not only opened up a new world of film 3D technology, but also brought people an epoch-making audio-visual experience, opening a new era in film history.
This 162-minute story is not perfect in terms of adventure, challenge, love, big bang adventure, big action, familiar Hollywood personal heroism, and legendary drama routines that want to be indulged. Still, the plot of "Avatar" itself is moving enough to linger. β
It's also starting a new era in Hollywood, why don't you open the world!
