After a busy day, I finally sorted out all the equipment and props, and the next day, "Avatar" officially started.

At the time of the start of the mobilization, Lin Mu encouraged everyone: "According to the progress, it should be finished next month, so everyone work hard!" ”

At this time, a staff member raised his hand and asked, "When will it be officially released?" I can't wait to see it. ”

The person next to him elbowed him and whispered, "Don't you talk nonsense, I already said that it was January 1, 2013." ”

"Do you want to do it for a month? That's an exaggeration, right? ”

Lin Mu understood what they meant, and explained: "Although it was completed in March, this movie is very different, its post-production workload is many times more than other films, and the post-production time is longer, at least more than half a year, so it is not released so quickly." ”

After the mobilization meeting, the crew began the first New Year's shooting.

――――――――――――――――

When the work started this year, Lin Mu did not return to the company, which made many employees who were looking forward to taking the big red envelope hard.

"Where's my red envelope?"

The behavior of giving out red envelopes on the opening day started by the forest has gradually become popular in the past two years, and countless enterprises and factories across the country have become a day for countless employees to rejoice on the day of opening, and only those leaders who want to give red envelopes are the ones who are hurting.

After a year, Lin Mu's popularity has increased a lot again because of his identity as the initiator of the red envelope.

And at this time, "Thor" was finally released, the first step was released in North America, and then gradually promoted to the overseas film market. As soon as it was released, it received continuous positive and negative reviews, but it was still mostly praised.

The fierce battle in the middle and the final battle at the end of the film, as well as the battle at the Rainbow Bridge, all made the audience addicted; And a large number of gods, starry sky, and savage planets are shown in the film. It is also a combination of computer special effects and live shooting to create excellent light and shadow effects. The 3D depth of field and on-screen effect are quite good, making the audience feel like they are in the world of Thor.

The evaluation of the group of mouthy film critics in North America is also positive and negative,

"Thor who exists as a god. It's the hardest of all Marvel characters, but this movie is very well done. I heard that the actor Chris Hemsworth, who played Thor, was originally just a small TV series actor, and it was also an overseas TV series, and I heard that he was recommended by that forest tree in Huaxia, just like Robert Downey Jr. in "Iron Man". I have to admire this forest tree's ability to recognize people, it's really surprising, I don't know how many unknown stars will want to dangle twice in front of him in the future. - "Variety".

"This is a high-level work from Marvel, and they have successfully launched a new hero this time." ――《the》。

"The film has a great style, providing the audience with a great fantasy journey in the latest 3D format, and the special effects and film setting ensure that the audience can get the excitement and excitement of the movie." - "International Screen".

And there are many critics of the demeaning "Thor". But no matter how these foul-mouthed film critics scold, the movie-watching craze outside is not low at all, although it is not as good as movies such as "Iron Man" and "Transformers", but it can be regarded as a good box office movie, with a box office income of more than 700 million US dollars.

Plus merchandise that is more than box office revenue, as well as online sales. is enough to make Marvel, Disney Studios, and Hope Film and Television earn gold coins.

The success of "Thor" obviously made Disney more excited, and immediately prepared to launch "Thor 2", and "The Avengers" was also stimulated by this to prepare in advance, the film and television adaptation rights of Iron Man and Thor are in the hands of Disney, and the film and television adaptation rights of Hulk and Captain America are in the hands of Universal and Paramount, at present, Universal and Paramount are very interested in the script of the Avengers, while Hawkeye and Black Widow have not yet adapted the movie. So the crew of "The Avengers" should be on the agenda soon.

Lin Muting was glad that he used the comic copyright of "Transformers" in exchange for the movie copyright of Iron Man and Thor, so that he could share a lot of profits in this movie feast.

On February 3, 2012, "Iron Man" was finally released worldwide, with a total of more than 60 days in North America and a global box office of $8.3 billion.

In the front, "The Amazing Spider-Man" was released globally with $7.5 billion, "Captain America" with $8.9 billion, "X-Men" with $7.8 billion, "Gods and Demons" with $6.3 billion, and "Rio Adventure" with $5.5 billion.

It can be seen from here. Sequel movies are more popular than non-sequel movies, while single-hero movies are preferred over multi-hero movies. However, none of these films exceeded $900 million, which has to be said to be a huge pity.

But most of these films can rank in the top 20 of the global film history total box office, which is enough to show that the global film market in 2011 has been stimulated growth.

At this time, the box office statistics agency in North America also duly threw out the 2011 box office summary report.

In 2011, the total global box office exceeded $47 billion!

Highest in North America. contributed $13.9 billion to the box office!!

China, on the other hand, contributed $5.2 billion, behind the European Union.

In terms of year-on-year growth, the total box office in 2011 was 130% of that in 2010, an increase that exceeded everyone's imagination!!

After Lin Mu received this data, he was also stunned, Lin Mu clearly remembered that the global box office data in 2014 was only 35 billion US dollars, but he didn't expect this time and space to explode it in 2011, exceeding 34%!!

Lin Mu thought deeply for ten hours, and finally came to an important conclusion in his life: "It's the best thing to make a movie!" ”

"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?" Lin Mu 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 $4.4 billion, 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 $4.4 billion more? Pound used to think it was too much, it was just grandstanding, but now she doesn't think so, but thinks that $4.4 billion 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. Lin Mu 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, Sigourney Weaver, the idealistic botanist and chief scientist of the "Avatar" project, played by Dr. Grace, is lying on the ground, and she is not wearing a sensor suit.

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

With the command of the woods. 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 Lin Mu 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. ”

Lin Mu used a killer move.

――――――――

Just when Lin Mu was struggling with the filming, "Biochemical Apocalypse 4" had already started the launch conference, 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 Lin Mu'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' "Dragoon Fighter", "Star Wars Storm", "Covering the World" and other large-scale adaptations of sci-fi and fantasy blockbusters have been completed, causing a lot of fans to scream with joy.

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 battle, and Bi Han took a few people to represent Hope Film and Television to come here early and 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. (To be continued.) )
