Chapter 171: The plot of "Avatar".
What is this, does it have anything to do with Avatar? Zhao Dong picked up the paper on the table with some doubts.
But the boss told him to look at it.
Well? No title! A piece of paper full of words, but no title.
Keep looking.
The first few paragraphs of text made him a little difficult to understand, and it seemed that he was telling a story, and it was not until halfway through reading that he gradually understood what it was.
"Mr. Li, what is this?" Zhao Dong looked at Li Mu in disbelief.
Li Mu smiled slightly, "That's right, this is the detailed plot of "Avatar"!" ”
"But "Avatar" has not held a preview screening, and I am afraid that only the top executives of Twentieth Century Fox will see this film, how do you know?" Zhao Dong's eyes were full of doubts.
That's right, the trucker's "Avatar" has not held any viewing parties or screenings, but "Avatar" has this capital.
As a result, until now, nine days before its release, no one knows what the film is about, and the producers have only revealed a little synopsis.
There is a mineral element on the planet Pandora, Unobtanium, which is not found anywhere else, and the reason why it can attract humans to come here from far and wide to pioneer is that Unobtanium will completely change the energy industry of mankind. But the problem is that the resource-rich planet Pandora is not suitable for human life, the air here is deadly to humans, and the native flora and fauna are ferocious predators and extremely dangerous. The environment here has also created a race that is different from humans: the 10-foot-tall (about 3 meters) people are unhappy with the arrival of human pioneers, and they don't like the scars left by human machines on the planet's soil as they mine everywhere.
And scientists have invented a cloning technology that allows the protagonist to transform into the Navi and enter the planet Pandora.
There is speculation that this is supposed to be a movie about a war between two planets, and the protagonist is supposed to play a role like an undercover agent.
Now that Li Mu actually handed a complete detailed explanation of the plot to Zhao Dong, he couldn't help but be shocked, he couldn't imagine that Li Mu still had so much energy.
And this plot is definitely not something that can be written after only reading it once or twice, the degree of perfection can be compared with the script, he can't figure out what kind of channel Li Mu got it.
"After reading it, do you think there's anything you can use?" Li Mu asked with a smile.
Hearing Li Mu's question, Zhao Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Mr. Li, this is an ordinary undercover story, and the excitement of the plot is definitely not as good as a classic like "Infernal Affairs", but Cameron's movies have never been good at plots, and it is simply difficult to find a way to attack the other party from the movie itself!" ”
Li Mu nodded in agreement.
As the highest-grossing director in the history of Hollywood films, James Cameron's films are classics. From "The Terminator" and "True Lies" to "Titanic" and "Avatar", every film is a milestone, and every film is a qualitative leap.
He pays attention to special effects, constantly revolutionizes film stunts, and each of his films is a feast for the eyes. But at the same time, he pays attention to details, he pays attention to the inner activities of his characters, he pays attention to the environment, he worships personal heroism, his films are always passionate, his narratives are always exaggerated and moving, and he perfectly combines art and commerce.
Cameron's films are full of strong American characteristics, such as the humor, witty actions and language interspersed in his films from time to time, which make people laugh.
Even in particularly serious scenes, it is possible to burst out with a sentence or two of dry humor, for example, in the movie "True Lies", Cameron successfully excavated Schwarzenegger's humor cells, making this otherwise very serious and thrilling spy film full of comedy effect.
The most impressive thing about this film is the landing fighter that appears at the end of the story.
Against the backdrop of the sea and sky, the scene of the "Maverick" missile hitting the bridge across the sea was spectacular and gorgeous, and the subsequent fight on the wings presented a complex and exaggerated cartoon style, which made people feel a sense of joy while being nervous. This sense of humor appears in almost every James Cameron film.
Even the famous disaster blockbuster "Titanic" is no exception, when Ross was dating Jack, he imitated Jack's spit but accidentally swallowed it in his mouth, which made people laugh; At the last moment, Jack was tied under the ship, and as the water under the ship rose a little bit, when Jack's life was hanging by a thread, Rose brandished an axe to save Jack, and in this very critical scene, Cameron did not forget to humor. Rose tries to swing the axe to the side to test accuracy, but it deviates badly, but Jack compliments it accurately, and the audience's tearful laughter makes Cameron's sense of humor to the extreme.
In addition to the sense of humor, it is full of optimistic adventurous spirit, the optimism of the people of the United States and the pessimism of the neon people, the optimism of the people of the United States and the crisis of the neon people are recognized in the field of research of the world's national culture.
The reason is inseparable from the country's history and geographical location, the formation and development of the country is unique in the history of the world, and no country can develop and grow to a certain extent in a short period of time like the United States, and everything will become a world power.
The fertile land and superior geographical environment make the people of the United States full of optimism, and also make the people of the United States full of self and blindness. However, it is undeniable that in the process of development, innovation and pioneering in the United States have always been advocated by the whole country, and on this basis, a bold and adventurous national style and national character have been formed. Embodied in the movie, it is a variety of films full of adventurous spirit. The same can be said of Cameron, who is deeply influenced by American culture, and in his films, adventure is always the main theme of the story.
"The Terminator", "True Lies", "Alien", "Terminator" and "Avatar" are all full of adventure elements, and the ubiquitous tension and ubiquitous crises fill people's eyeballs. But no matter how dangerous the situation is, the optimism shown by the protagonist is admired by the audience.
Fantasy and exaggeration have always occupied the mainstream of the American film industry, and the pursuit of perfect visual effects is also the goal of Hollywood directors. The world's most outstanding science fiction movies with perfect visual effects are almost all from Hollywood. This is inseparable from the character traits of the American people who like to exaggerate and love novelty.
For example, several classic films born in the history of Hollywood films, "Star Wars", "Jurassic Park", "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "The Day After Tomorrow", etc., are full of magic, exaggerated plots and legendary shots attract the audience's attention and are also breathtaking, and in James Cameron's movies, magic, imagination, exaggerated visual effects are everywhere.
It can be said that James Cameron's processing and pursuit of vision has been extreme, making it difficult for others to surpass in a short period of time.
When Cameron was filming "Titanic", the gorgeous and spectacular ship scenes in the film and the classic shots of Ross and Jack hugging each other in the afterglow of the sunset sailing on the ocean are unforgettable. And the most admired thing is the shocking special effects produced by Cameron when the ship sank to the bottom of the sea.
