Truth be told, James Cameron is also one of the "old men" in his own mouth.

James Cameron, who was born in 1954, is 56 years old this year and is over half a hundred years old.

But he is indeed a pioneer who is very receptive to new technologies, and even takes the initiative to explore new technologies and reform the film industry.

In Wu Yuan's cognition, there are only two top directors in North America who dare to try new technologies and explore new tricks, and there is only one in China.

In North America, it is naturally Cameron and Spielberg, and in China, it is Zhang Yimou.

Spielberg's later "Ready Player One", although it did not make any technical innovations, but it also tried a new theme again in terms of subject matter, with the theme of virtual game world, almost all the stories of the film take place in the virtual world, and the completely gamified world is indeed novel.

Zhang Yimou is also an old man, from the 2000s to actively try to explore commercial blockbusters, to later actively try to explore the IMAX 3D fantasy and magic movie "The Great Wall", and then to Wu Yuan before waking up from a dream, I heard that he was going to do a League of Legends e-sports game TV series.

Both of these are top directors who are very daring to try new things.

In addition to them, whether it is directors such as Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, Wang Jiawei or others in China, or directors such as Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, and George Lucas abroad, they are very conservative.

Even in 2020, many people are still stubbornly holding on to the film, and they don't even accept digital cameras, let alone 3D movies.

(To shoot a 3D movie, if it is the original version, you must use a digital 3D camera to shoot, and you can only shoot an IMAX 2D movie with a film camera, and then convert it from 2D to 3D, and the effect is not as good as the original 3D.) ）

Like Quentin and Nolan, they just don't like special effects technology, and they hate 3D movies even more, and only do movies shot on 2D film.

There is no distinction between the reformists who actively embrace the new and the conservatives who are conservative and seek stability, and there is no difference between high and low ideas and wrong and right, but can only say that their ideas and positions are different.

But Wu Yuan, as a post-80s director, of course prefers new technologies and new things, and he is also very willing to promote the innovation of film production methods.

So, the meeting between him and James Cameron, the scene was very harmonious.

Both of them have a high regard for IMAX 3D technology, and both believe that this technology will become the mainstream of future science fiction and fantasy movies, and they are both willing to promote the vigorous development of this technology.

Although it was at the Oscars, the two didn't care about other people at all, they chatted a lot together, and shared with each other a lot of their views on the development of film technology in the next five or ten years.

also talked a lot, and Wu Yuan really felt what a top director is.

Without any memory of the future and no idea of what the future will hold, James Cameron has almost deduced how the film industry will develop in the next decade.

He not only believes that China's film industry will enter a period of big bang development, but also understands that the emergence of IMAX 3D movies will usher in a wave of favorable development for old superhero sci-fi film production companies such as Marvel and DC.

Even he could predict that in the next ten years, at least in the field of 3D special effects blockbusters, Marvel and DC will definitely become the rulers.

This can be seen from the big sales of special effects movies such as "Iron Man" and "Transformers" in the past two years.

These things are nothing surprising in Wu Yuan's opinion, this is because he has experienced them, and he has the memory of later generations as a foundation.

But at the crossroads of the world film industry from 2009 to 2010, there are not many people who can see this truth clearly.

It is not uncommon to see that the Chinese film market will usher in a big explosion, since the 2008 Olympic Games, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that China is going to take off in an all-round way.

But it can be seen that the next ten or twenty years will be the era of superhero special effects films like Marvel and DC, which is amazing.

At least most of the elites of the six major Hollywood haven't seen it now.

Marvel is also still facing bankruptcy and will be bankrupt and merged.

DC has lost a streak of battles, and except for Nolan's version of "Batman", no other successful superhero movies have appeared in more than a decade.

"Green Lantern", which had been taken over by Wu Yuan before, also pounced.

In this case, Cameron can still expect these two companies to take off, which is really amazing.

Wu Yuan gave Cameron a thumbs up with an admiring face: "James, I think so too." ”

"Haha." Perhaps it is really rare for someone to agree with this view, James was very happy with Wu Yuan's amazement, and patted him on the shoulder happily: "Daniel, the future belongs to you young directors." ”

"Although I brought IMAX 3D to world cinema, I was just a pioneer, and I couldn't have developed this film genre on my own."

"I sincerely hope that your new movie will be a global hit, is Interstellar right? I'll definitely go to the cinema and enjoy it! ”

"Thank you." Wu Yuan smiled reservedly, he was also very confident in himself.

"Alright, the awards ceremony is about to begin, let's take our seats first." Glancing at the staff in the distance who were signaling that the ceremony was about to begin, James finally nodded to Wu Yuan, and then led the creators of "Avatar" to their places and sat down.

Speaking of which, the glory of this "Avatar" belongs to Cameron alone, and all the actors who starred in this movie have not been able to get anything from "Avatar".

Sam Worthington, the leading actor, is much worse than Depp.

After all, you can't expect viewers to be interested in a blue-skinned alien.

However, the "Avatar" series is expected to be made in five, and Sam Worthington can be regarded as getting an iron rice bowl, anyway, Wu Yuan hasn't seen the follow-up sequel before he wakes up from his dream.

It is estimated that James Cameron will be busy for this series for the rest of his life.

"Let's go, we're seated too." Wu Yuan took Liu Yifei's little hand and said to Gong Li and Wang Xueqi.

Compared with Wu Yuan's fish in water at the Oscar ceremony, although Gong Li is also quite famous in North America, among all the invited guests, he can be regarded as relatively neglected, and few people talk to her.

Wang Xueqi was even more miserable, completely reduced to a spectator.

Even the two of them have not received Liu Yifei's attention, after all, Liu Yifei is Wu Yuan's official girlfriend, and the music and movies have become famous in North America, which is still hot.

However, Wang Xueqi and Gong Li are satisfied enough, and it is already very good to be able to come to the Oscars.

After all, in recent years, Oscar has gradually become a little deified in China.

"I don't know who will win the award and enjoy the glory tonight, and who will leave the scene with regret." Sitting in the position belonging to "Gravity", Wu Yuan looked around at the other invited crews around him and sighed.

"Senior brother, the award ceremony has begun!" Liu Yifei pulled his sleeve.

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, the hosts of this year's Oscars, have appeared on stage.

In a burst of cheers and applause, the 82nd Academy Awards Gala officially began. (End of chapter)
