Chapter 349: The Possibility of IMAX and Avatar
"After a drastic change in my life, I went lame and I was taken to a Veterans Administration hospital......"
"For a while, I often dreamed that I was flying, and the taste of freedom ......"
"Being in the freeze, you don't dream at all, it doesn't feel like it's been six years......"
"You have been frozen for 5 years, 9 months, 22 days, and you will feel hungry and weak......"
"You have the same genes as your brother, so we want to work with you so you can start a new life in a whole new world......"
At home, the lights are bright.
Wang Shang sat in the study, with a lamp on his head, holding a pencil, and wrote a sentence on the script.
Wang Shang's mind was open, immersed in that endless fantasy......
It's a magical country......
Towering trees up to 300 meters high, mountains floating in the sky, lush rainforests full of colorful and exotic plants, and various plants and animals that glow at night......
The indigenous people of the planet have always lived in harmony with the other species of the planet Pandora, living a simple and natural life......
Each word is formed under Wang Shang's pen, forming a different world full of fantasy and magic......
It wasn't until a sound of tapping on the table sounded that Wang Shang woke up. Wang Shang looked up and saw a delicate big bowl with a bowl of sour plum soup, and vaguely saw a piece of ice floating inside, emitting a trace of coolness, bringing a trace of coolness to the scorching heat.
Liu Xi walked behind Wang Shang, put his two hands on Wang Shang's shoulders and gently pressed them, with a hint of mint fragrance into Wang Shang's nose. Wang Shang's heart was shocked, and his fatigue was relieved after four hours of work.
The two smiled gently.
"Take a break?"
"Hmm." Wang Shang picked up the big bowl, scooped a big spoonful of sour plum soup and put it into his mouth, it was cold to the bones, refreshing to the heart, like nectar sprinkled on the heart, a kind of cold and translucent joy overflowing.
I have to say that Wang Shang is a typical big bowl controller, he feels awkward when he uses a small bowl, and likes to use a big bowl to eat and drink soup and the like. I don't know if it's a manifestation of arrogance. And this bowl of sour plum soup is also enough. Let Wang Shang drink a heart.
While Wang Shang was grunting and drinking, Liu Xi picked up a stack of papers on the table. The top piece of paper is a cartoon with a man in a wheelchair.
Then he picked up a few more.
There are several people in one picture. A man in a wheelchair. Three strong men in black suits. There was also a coffin containing a man.
One is an aerial view of a dense forest with towering trees below......
One is the appearance of a giant spaceship. Thin and long, it wanders in the starry sky of the universe......
One is a man lying inside a coffin-like thing, squinting......
One is in the starry sky, a green planet backed by a huge white planet......
"What is this??"
"It's, avatar! A world of fantasy and magic. Wang Shang stroked the sketch, full of a sense of emotion to welcome a new life.
Seeing that Liu Xi was interested, Wang Shang briefly explained the world to her.
Pandora, whose scientific name is Centaur Alpha B-4, is about the size of Earth, a planet in the Centaur Alpha Galaxy. Pandora is not a planet, it is actually a moon of a giant gas planet. This story takes place on this planet, there is a mineral element "unobtanium" that is not found anywhere else on this planet, a rare superconductor at room temperature, with a peculiar magnetic field, under the action of the magnetic field of Pandora, it can produce a spectacular boulder floating scene......"
Wang Shang constantly introduced the world to Liu Xi.
The more Liu Xi listened, the more interested he became, and then he consulted with Wang Shang.
However, Wang Shang soon became sad.
"Why do animals have 6 legs? Aren't all the big creatures on Earth four-legged or two-legged? ”
"This ......"
"Why tentacles? Why can the sympathetic nervous system be? ”
"This ......"
"Why is it called Pandora?"
"This ......"
Why?? Wang Shang didn't know the answers to these questions.
However, Wang Shang has already prepared: "I will invite experts at home and abroad to set the background of the planet, the language, the biosphere, customs and ...... for this film."
"Let them set the background and support this amazing world."
Because the preparations for "Shocking Demon Thieves" have been basically completed, the crew has all been determined, and the actors have also been decided, and the only thing that has not been done now is magic design.
Just when Wang Shang was waiting for the script of "Shocking Demon Thieves", he began to think about what the next movie should be made. It was at this time that news came from the research center in Yanjing, which was invested and established by Wang Shang, that a special 65mm film and its special camera had been successfully developed. In addition, the film captured by this camera has been successfully printed into 70 mm film, and the sensitive area of each frame is 10 times that of ordinary 35 mm film and 3 times that of conventional 70 mm film.
At the same time, another team at the research center has developed a better large-screen projection system than Cinemascope and Vistavision.
When Wang Shang heard the news, he jumped in surprise.
“imax!!”
"IMAX Technical Foundation Succeeded!!"
In the previous plane, IMAX technology had already appeared in 2002, then "Star Wars", "The Matrix", "Spider-Man 3" was tested, and finally through the global expansion of "Avatar" officially became famous all over the world.
Wang Shang searched for three Canadian inventors of IMAX technology (Graemeferguson, Romankroitor and Robertkerr), but they did not find it, and it was estimated that it was harmonized by the butterfly effect. At that time, Wang Shang's first reaction was to be happy, didn't this give him a sunny and smooth road.
So in the following days, while developing 3D technology, Wang Shang also convened another team to conduct IMAX technology research and development at the same time.
The year before, 3D technology was complete. Then Wang Shangzai retained some of the researchers to continue to develop 3D technology, and then added the rest to the IMAX technical team. Now, more than a year later, I finally heard good news about IMAX technology.
After the emergence of this technology, Wang Shang's first reaction was "Avatar"!!
Now that the plan for "Shocking Demon Thieves" has been discharged, then "Avatar" can only do the early stage first, and do all the things related to computer special effects in Avatar Planet, such as those monsters, plants, viper wolves, spotted cows, hammerhead thunder beasts, death beasts, etc......
Therefore, taking advantage of this time, Wang Shang did the script and album by the way, and then asked Tianwang Special Effects to dispatch a team to secretly produce "Avatar". After the filming of "Shocking Demon Thieves" is completed, it will be 2011, and then he can immediately launch "Avatar". Just like Transformers, do it ahead of time and speed it up.
"But there is another difficulty, and that is the renovation of the IMAX theater."
Wang Shang thought of a scene: "Wang Shang ran to the theater and asked them to destroy several theaters and transform them into IMAX big screens." ”
"I guess they'll think they're crazy."
"What do you need to do to get IMAX out there?"
"And if it's too early, if it's too early, it will attract the attention of foreign countries, and when the time comes, an IMAX movie that is earlier than "Avatar" will really be made for others."
Wang Shang talked to Liu Xi about "Avatar", while thinking about the specific plan, and finally found a shortcut - to build or acquire the theater chain by himself and renovate the IMAX theater!!
More than a dozen in China, more than a dozen in Europe, and more than 20 in North America......
"The theater has to do it in advance."
On April 30, Wang Shang and Liu Xi secretly visited several senior professors from world-class universities who had cooperated with Tianwang Film and Television Company with the manuscript of "Avatar", including physicists, biologists, linguists, and sociologists.
Why did Liu Xi also go, because she wanted to participate in this project, and she was very interested in this movie.
