Chapter 403: iMAX's First Shock!

ps:

Today's three watches, the day after tomorrow at 8 o'clock to the driving test subject three - long-distance, to come back the next day, but it should not be broken.

"Tian Yang, how is the induction suit prepared??"

"Director Hui, 60 sets have been prepared, which is already the limit, after all, the cost is too high."

"60 sets, use the extension then, are the actors ready?"

"It's all set." There are more than 150 actors in Avatar in total, so 60 actors are easy to find.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, it was already dark in Zhangjiajie, and on the set of "Avatar", it was still in full swing. The staff and actors who had just finished dinner came and went, and the conductor kept coming, preparing for the next filming.

"Pound, have you written down all the Na'vi language for the rest of the wait?" Wang Shang called an older foreign actress and asked. Her name is C.H. Pound, and she plays the role of Muya, the wife of the chief of the Omadikaya tribe of the Na'vi tribe and the spiritual leader of the tribe.

"Director, don't worry, I've been learning this prophecy with Professor Paul for a month, and I've memorized it countless times in the past few days."

"That's good."

After Pound received the invitation to "Avatar", he hesitated for a while, and then after reading the script and hearing that he would invest $440 million, he finally made up his mind to come and participate. Unexpectedly, when she came to the crew, there were bigger surprises waiting for her, whether it was the action expression capture system or the IMAX technology, which made her excited and tremble.

Then when the American assistant director, who had a good relationship, informed her that she would take time out every day to teach Neville language to a professor from the University of Southern California during filming, her heart was full of excitement and anticipation for this movie. Later, after understanding step by step, I found that the investment in this film is really not simple, not only the language is self-created, but the entire planet system has invited relevant professional professors from world-renowned universities to design, animals, plants, ecology, and climate. Growth morphology, body structure, nomenclature...... Everything is new, as if this is a real world.

She also read an encyclopedia of all the animals, plants and regions on the planet Pandora, each in four languages, Chinese, English, Latin and Na'vi, compiled into a 350-page Pandora encyclopedia.

Except for the language. It also took a lot of time, energy and money to shoot the prayer scene that will start later, and I heard that the director deliberately asked eight scientists at home and abroad to imitate the prayer rituals of many primitive tribes, and finally designed the prayer ceremony of the Na'vi tribe today.

Is $440 million more? Pound used to think it was too much, it was just grandstanding, but now she doesn't think so, but feels that $440 million may not be enough.

Pound is very glad that he was able to join this crew and participate in this super movie that may break history.

After half an hour of busy staff, the shooting scene was finally set up.

"I'm going to shoot the prayer of the tribe under the soul tree later, everyone be in good spirits."

"The actors recite Neville's prayer one last time, and at the same time brush up on the prayer action that is waiting for the rest of the day!"

Immediately before filming begins. Wang Shang reminded everyone over and over again.

After another ten minutes, all the actors sat cross-legged in the marked spot wearing sensor suits and helmets, forming a small semicircle. In front of the small semicircle are Pang De and Xie Tingfeng in sensor suits. At the same time, lying on the ground is Sigourney Brown, the idealistic botanist and chief scientist of the "Avatar" program. Weaver, she wasn't wearing a gait.

"The first time, we didn't use the camera to shoot, we rehearsed it from start to finish."

With Wang Shang's command. The actors sitting cross-legged in the studio slowly sang prayers, while their bodies continued to swing according to the set prayer ritual movements, and their voices gradually became higher and louder, and finally converged into a rhythm full of simplicity and soul-washing. And Pound, at this time, stood on that side and danced, chanting over and over again, and the voices came and went.

It was filled with an indescribable solemnity.

It's time to get into the best place. One actor mispronounced, and then drove all the actors to also mispronounce, and the ritual rehearsal was suddenly interrupted.

An hour later......

Two hours later......

There are always actors who make mistakes in the middle of the process, or many actors simply only do lip synching, causing the overall sound to become smaller and smaller, which washes away the original solemn atmosphere.

After Wang Shang yelled a few times, he finally said helplessly: "This is the end of tonight's work." Tomorrow continues, the actors will practice their pronunciation a few more times tonight! No one is allowed to make a mistake tomorrow, and one percentage point of bonus will be deducted at a time if they make a mistake. ”

Wang Shang made a killer move.

――――――――

Just when Wang Shang was struggling for the filming, the launch conference of "Biochemical Apocalypse 4" had already started, and "Fast and Furious 4" and "Transformers 3" were not done well because of the script. So it's still on hold.

At the same time, the screenwriting team is also preparing to restart the original "Death is Coming" series, after many years, the special effects technology has improved by leaps and bounds, and many good ideas could not be filmed because the special effects technology was not enough at the beginning, and now it should be able to do it.

"Cursed Grudge 2", "Legend of Gods and Ghosts 2-Scorpion King", "Prometheus", "Alien 2", "Rise of the Planet", "Dragon Agent", "Jurassic Park", and "Big Star Falling in Love with Me", which were launched in February and March last year, have also been completed or will be completed. Originally, these movies could be completed one after another at the end of last year, but Wang Shang's negative public opinion storm affected the filming progress of the film, so that it is only now completed.

At this time, at the same time, other film and television groups' "Dragon Rider Fighter", "Star Wars Storm", "Covering the World" and other science fiction and fantasy blockbusters adapted from novels with relatively large investments have been completed, causing a lot of fans to scream with joy.

And the Huayi movie "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", which was announced in March last year, was officially completed in December, and it was announced that it would be officially released on Labor Day in May.

Just when more than a dozen films were completed, Ketuo Group ushered in an important figure - Liang Wen, deputy director of the Reform and Development Commission and director of the Department of High-tech Industry.

This is a boss in charge of the country's high-tech management resources, and more importantly, he is now one of the main persons in charge of the 2012 World Expo China project. To put it simply, he is very good, and whether IMAX technology can enter the World Expo site this time to show to the world depends on this person.

Ketuo Group was waiting for the whole group, and Bi Han came here early with a few people on behalf of Tianwang Film and Television to greet this character with the chairman of Ketuo Group.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Director Liang walked into the door of the office building of Ketuo Group surrounded by everyone. Director Liang is a doer, and after a brief and polite meeting between the two parties, he went straight to one of the screening halls in the Ketuo Group.

As a world-famous manufacturer of film and television equipment, it is involved in many fields of film shooting, such as cameras, projectors, and cinema screens...... All the East and West Ketuo Group can produce, and the technical level is at the international first-class level. Therefore, Ketuo Company has a comprehensive large-scale screening hall, which is the same as the cinema hall of a movie theater.

"When I heard your report about IMAX, I thought it was a great opportunity, so I came." Director Liang said with a smile as he walked. He was not polite at all, and he did not hide his satisfaction at all.

As he said, he was pleasantly surprised when he saw IMAX's application report.

There are dozens of national exhibition halls throughout the World Expo, and tourists and businesses simply don't have so much energy to go to see them one by one, and those projects that are gimmicky and interesting to tourists can obviously attract more tourists to visit.

At present, the exhibition project of the Huaxia Exhibition Center has basically been decided, but there is a big problem, although the exhibited project products are very advanced in technology and should be very popular, but there is a lack of a sharp weapon/top brand that can attract others. When he saw IMAX, his eyes lit up and he felt that this technique would be pimping...... Oh no, it's the top card/weapon of solicitation.

When the group came to the door of the screening hall, the chairman of Ketuo Group and Bi Han glanced at each other and smiled secretly. Then they all pushed the door of the open screening hall.

"Good...... Good...... Big...... Ah......h

"Isn't this screen flat? It turned out to be an arc type!! ”

"Still a slanted ......"

Everyone was stunned by the huge screen. Standing under this huge screen, I felt like a dwarf looking at a huge mountain.

Although the length and width data of the IMAX screen are already known, when they actually see it, the 8-story screen still surprises them.
