To be honest, when Roland Allen listened to the old man's words, his heart was actually very emotional.

Because behind the success of "Avatar", there is a bloody scene.

Although Weta Digital's motion capture technology has created Peter the Great's "Lord of the Rings", the cost of 300 million is a real effort, and in order to test the facial performance capture technology and capture restoration system again and again, Robert Zemeckis has planted two heels in the movies "Polar Express" and "Beowulf", not only that, but the first introduction of collaborative camera imaging technology "Artificial Intelligence" has also hit the streets, and the "Very Small Agent 3D" and "Very Small Agent" that test the 3D virtual image capture photography system "Three-dimensional Little Surprise Soldier" is even dead, and there is not even ashes left.

When these guys spent 1.5 billion one after another, that precious data experience was the foundation of the success of "Avatar".

If it weren't for them, there would be no No. 1 box office in film history.

Without them, James Cameron wouldn't be able to make it to the altar again.

These guys are the real filmmakers, and he'......

From the point of view of his bones, he is just a capitalist who uses movies as a channel for rising.

That's all.

However, there is nothing wrong with being a capitalist.

After all, the richest 100 people in these countries where negative evaluations of capitalism are forbidden can directly influence the will of Congress, and if it were to be changed to the other side of the ocean, it would only be a horse.

Thinking like this, Roland has no regrets in his heart.

Nodding slightly, he said, "Then according to the current situation, the technology to support your next movie is actually complete?" ”

"If it's not complete, then why should I get a 3D virtual image capture system?" The old man asked rhetorically.

"That's right." Roland smacked his mouth, "Then the patent for this technology is also in your hands now?" ”

"With George in control of ILM, Steven still has the co-working camera imaging technology in his own hands, so why can't I bring the 3D virtual image capture photography system under my name when I have the digital realm?" The old man winked at Roland, and the smile on his face revealed everything.

In fact, the 3D virtual image capture photography system is not made by the truck driver alone, and the guy who cooperates with it, as well as his royal cameraman Vince Pace, and after inventing this shooting technology, the two registered a group called Cameron Pace Group, and the 3D art is firmly in their hands.

So, the guys who laughed at the trucker when he sold the digital domain to Michael Bay were actually stupid!

And when the digital field was acquired by Pony Galloping, and then swallowed by Heung Kong Capital Aoliang Group, renamed Digital Domain, and then inherited a large number of special effects such as "Avengers 3 and 4", it was even more silly to laugh at James Cameron!

When the field of special effects becomes the Red Ocean market, and the vast majority of the market share is divided between the industrial light and magic of the main mechanical stream and the Weta Digital of the main life stream, continue to fight here, that is the brain-dead!

Instead of spending money on research and development of new technologies every year, it is better to transfer to the blue ocean market to achieve monopoly!

Not to mention, in the field of 3D, Cameron Pace Group is unbeatable!

Say a thousand things and ten thousand, old man, he also wants to be capital.

And who in this world doesn't want to be a human being?

In this case, Roland also has no intention of wanting to acquire.

Anyway, according to the current situation, even if he doesn't make acquisitions, he can pull up the banner of technical barriers.

It's all my own!

Whose is it not used?

"Okay, second question, what's your next project?"

"Why do you ask this? Want to participate? The old man jokingly asked, "Are you impressed by my plan and ready to participate in my project?" I'm telling you, that's the right idea! If you come to act, the guarantee is a new box office record of 200 million, and if you pull Kate together, 3 billion is said to be less! ”

The old man didn't treat Roland as an outsider from beginning to end, and the reason why he pulled Roland crackling and chattering as soon as he entered the door was because after being rejected many times, he was too eager for the inflow of funds, and when Roland pierced that layer of window paper, he dared to say anything without psychological pressure, as for whether Roland would have a temper?

If Roland had a temper, he would not have lent him 10 million to help him pay the breakup fee at the time of divorce.

"Let me come back? Don't you want the lives of other companies? ”

Roland, who also understood that the old man was joking, didn't hold it, but changed his posture, leaned on the back of the chair, and shook his legs while shaking, and said: "If I make a comeback, I can make a new global box office record, so when the record is born, I will stop filming, and then I will make a comeback in a few years, won't I be able to make a new record?"

I'm only in my twenties now, even if I make a comeback every five years, it will only take 40 years to cover the top ten box office in film history. Just watch me play alone!

By that time, what Hollywood Walk of Fame? What are the top 100 movie stars in the world? What are the top 10 strongest superstars on the surface?

They can only watch my taillights eat dust! ”

The old man was happy to hear the words of the stinky fart, and said, "That's better!"

Every time you come back, I'll shoot it!

In this way, there will be my share on the military merit medal!

If you count my teacher-student relationship, even if you win the top ten box office in film history, I can still overpower you! ”

When the two of them said the sand sculpture-like words in a serious tone, the spontaneous teasing wind made a happy atmosphere rise in the restaurant, and when the old man found that Ben Yuknot's heart was a lot more relaxed, the calmness that followed made his hands instinctively touch his pockets, take out a cigarette, and want to light one for himself.

However, before he could light the fire, the sound of 'cough cough cough' was heard.

After discovering that Roland rolled his eyes wildly, the old man who came to his senses immediately put his things away.

Because he understands that Kate won't let Roland smoke, and once Roland gets the smell of smoke out of her sight, that's ......

A question is indispensable.

"You've really had a ...... day," the old man shook his head, not knowing what to say.

However, he didn't dwell on this topic and returned to the topic, "In ninety-five years, when I showed you the scripts of "Titanic" and "Spider-Man", the scripts of my next project had actually been written.

That's a story that takes place in outer space.

More than 100 years later, human beings have discovered other life in the universe and can use technological means to send human souls into alien bodies, and this is how the protagonist embarks on adventures on aliens.

Because the story takes place on an alien planet, we need to shape the alien's body, and because the previous model can't achieve the effect of real human action, I need to use a bunch of techniques to transform the actor's appearance into an alien creature. ”

The old man just talked about the idea, and didn't mention the specific plot, because the stuff didn't matter.

If Roland really wanted to see it, he could throw him a draft of the script at any time.

After Roland listened to the old man's description, he knew that the project "Avatar" had really started to work, and the reason why he asked this was actually because he had his own selfishness-

"You mean, you've already finalized the script?"

"What's wrong? Any questions? ”

"Uh...... I mean, is there still room for revisions to the script? ”

"This? Absolutely! Now it's just a draft, and there's a lot of room for change! ”

"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood me, I mean, give up this script and start with a new story?"

"Huh?" The truck driver was stunned, he didn't understand what Roland meant, "What did you say?" ”

Roland was very sober, "What I'm saying is, can you change the script while retaining all the technology?"

Your current purpose is nothing more than to combine the strengths of each family to achieve innovation in film technology, so since this is the case, showing technology is your real goal, and the so-called script is just a platform for you to display your technology.

So, the alien program isn't so necessary, is it?

Letting the audience be moved by the new world you have created and let the audience linger in the beauty of the new world is the greatest success, and in this case, is the script story really important? As long as the guys on the screen aren't pure humans, that's enough! ”

Yes!

Roland is here for "Avatar", but he is not here for "Avatar", because the core of the success of "Avatar" is not "Avatar" itself, but the epoch-making technology!

The plot of "Avatar" is actually very simple, a guy named Jack participated in an alien energy mining plan, so he arrived on the planet Pandora, had an incarnation, and became an alien.

In order to obtain energy mines, the organizers of the mining plan are divided into two factions, the guys led by the military feel that they have to conquer the alien natives, and the workers led by science feel that they have to trade peacefully, and in the case of fists is the last word, the military naturally wins, and the male protagonist Jack, who has served experience, has become their target, and has been assigned by the military to break into the alien natives and collect information related to them.

After the exploration of the male protagonist, human beings found that the most concentrated place of energy mines is the home of aliens, and under the god tree they believe in, if they want to mine, they must be driven away, so a war arose.

The military conquered the city, the aliens protected their homeland, and the male protagonist Jack and the scientists stood on the side of conscience, confronting their own kind, because they have the aura of the protagonist, so even if the alien natives only have fists and bows and arrows, they still won with the help of the protagonist, and chose to become the protagonist of the aliens-

also lived a shameless life with an alien princess.

Truth be told, there's really nothing new about this old-fashioned business playbook.

The fundamental thing that captures the hearts of the whole movie is the ultimate 3D experience!

James Cameron returns the film to the beginning of its birth, which amazes the audience, moves the audience, makes the audience happy, and makes the audience cry, and what supports all this is the jellyfish seeds at your fingertips, the fluorescent insects flying beside you, the floating mountains floating in the air, and the Pandora in front of you......

To put it mildly, when you have motion capture, performance capture, capture restoration, collaborative imaging, and 3D virtual image capture photography systems, it is impossible for you to shoot any story!

It's like the first time humans touch a black and white movie, the first time they touch a sound movie, the first time they touch a color movie, the first time they touch a special effects movie, and the first time they touch CGI!

This could only be the age of 3D!

And not in 3D of what era!

That being the case, then why did you shoot "Avatar"?

When humans first came into contact with black and white films, as a new industry, he didn't bring people more profits, but when humans first touched sound films, Walt Disney seized the opportunity to launch Mickey!

After that, color movies make Snow White shine!

Special effects come to make Star Wars endure!

And what about CGI?

No matter how bad Jurassic is filmed, the special code starts with a billion!

This Nima's is simply outrageous!

In this way, "Avatar", a project that is not good for the cinematic universe, can actually be pushed.

Let the story with more feelings, more handsome people, from the back to the top!

For example—

"Since you're hesitant, I'll tell you a story first......"

Seeing that the old man would not be able to give himself a positive answer for a while, Roland cleared his throat and said to himself: "In the vast starry sky, there is a beautiful planet, it is the home of many races, and has given birth to elves, humans, dwarves, minotaurs, goblins, trolls, gnomes, and dragons......

Each race, with its own characteristics, has ruled the planet at different times.

From the Elder Gods who rule over the elements, to the guardian dragons who rule life, arcane, dreams, time, and the earth, to the trolls who wield dark spears, and the night elves who are obsessed with arcane......

These creatures have all bloomed their own brilliance on this beautiful planet.

Unfortunately, the good life did not last forever, and one day, a dark door to the other worlds opened, and two alien races, orcs and ogres, invaded the planet, and the war was raging.

A lot has happened during this period, countless races have risen, countless races have declined, humanity has been united by defending itself against foreign invasions, and it has also been divided by unequal interests, and the protagonist of our story was born when humanity was in decline.

His father, the ruler of all of Lordaeron, was the strongest leader since the Arathor Empire was divided, and on the day he was born, the entire forest of Lordaeron whispered his name......

Alsace! ”

That's right!

Roland's fundamental purpose is not to pick peaches from "Avatar", but to turn the story of the blue mining villain's mutual fight into the autobiography of Alsace, the first filial son of Warcraft!

What is the success of "Avatar"?

Isn't it the reality of cross-era technology?

Is Na'vi at your fingertips really attractive?

Don't talk nonsense!

When it appeared, the audience was just exclaiming a visual miracle!

In that case, why not swap the Na'vi for something cooler and more stylish?

If the appearance of the blue-skinned Na'vi gave the audience an unprecedented visual representation, what about when the duel between Arthas, the Lich King, and Illidan the Demon Hunter, appeared on screen?

Isn't this more powerful than a group of blue-skinned villains dragging spears to fight each other?

If the shaping of the planet Pandora presents the audience with an unprecedented different world, what about when the flames of war in Azeroth are raging, and orcs, elves, and troll goblins appear one by one?

Visuals, straight blast!

If you have a mature worldview in your hands, why not make a movie?

Since it is a visual effects film, let's shoot the coronation plot of "The Frozen Throne" first!

Use the way Peter Jackson treats "The Lord of the Rings", briefly recount Alsace's previous experience, and then start from the plot of rushing to help Nordson, and let him fight from beginning to end!

When Arthas defeats Illidan, holds the Frost Sorrow, and ascends to the Frozen Throne, the whole movie will be over, and after that, Origin Memories, one by one, will be filmed!

Slowly introduce the world of Azeroth from the perspective of Arthas, just the birth of Arthas, the defense of Steinbled, Naozu, the purification of Stratholme, the coast of Northrend, and the killing of the father, these plots can lead to a bunch of characters!

As for whether the audience likes it or not?

Hehe......

In Roland's previous life, after the release of "Avatar", a bunch of people criticized the protagonist's three views, feeling that he was a human but helped the alien species, which was simply a betrayal of the race, but ......

Is this bashing useful?

At the same time, a bunch of people also criticized the core of the plot, feeling that the love between the protagonist and the alien heroine is inexplicable, and the life and death dependence without foreshadowing is simply infectious, but ......

Is this criticism useful?

In the face of historical innovation, does the audience have the right to choose?

When the wheels of history roll forward, all criticism is a mantis arm!

When the beauty of the birth of the movie reappears, the so-called connotation is just the struggle of Wenqing's dead duck's mouth!

If you don't like what the people like to see, how old are you?
