The outside world's expectations for "Avatar" and even director Cameron , the innovation of film technology seems to be placed first. After all, "Avatar" has set off a craze and revolution in 3D movies in the world film market, allowing this film technology that was once ununderstood and optimistic to leverage the development of the film industry, and only counting on the Chinese market, achieving a surge in the number of movie screens and the innovation of cinemas.

Almost everyone is looking forward to whether "Avatar 2" can open the next milestone for the world film market.

1.

When "Avatar" was re-released, many people born in the 1995 and 2000 may not understand why many people were shocked by this movie in the past.

After all, when the Chinese film industry has become a keyword mentioned repeatedly, looking back at this movie, it seems that there is less special magic, but it cannot be ignored that "Avatar" has been born 13 years ago.

For Chinese filmmakers at that time, there was a "coordinate axis" for reference.

Jackie Chan once said in the promotion of " Zodiac " that he once went to the Cameron crew to visit the set. "I have been filming a movie for 52 years, just like a student, the middle of (the set) is empty, and both sides are full of staff, and they operate with remote controls."

For Jackie Chan, who has been insisting on real scenes and real shots since he started filming, when facing the Hollywood industry, he also has a learning attitude to feel the innovation of film technology. Later, "The Twelve Zodiacs" directed by Jackie Chan was a work that met the audience in IMAX 3D. In addition, the innovation of film technology also provided great help in the movie " Days of the Great Master " starring the eldest brother.

In addition to Jackie Chan, his friend, film director and martial arts director Yuan Heping , released the 3D movie " Su Qier " in the same year that "Avatar" was released.

In his opinion, movies are constantly improving, and the shooting techniques used to be different from the current ones. The technology, photography skills and action arrangement in all aspects are different from before.

D movies have a long history, but they always lack a work that has been recorded in history. When preparing for "Su Qi'er", Yuan Heping already knew that Cameron would create 3D "Avatar". " I started to study using 3D for action design very early. I found several experts to study it. It is indeed difficult. But I think we should also shoot some 3D movies in Chinese, at least not too far behind others. "

Whether it is the application of 3D technology or the virtual shooting that Jackie Chan saw on Cameron's set, they have become the key points that many young filmmakers are constantly breaking through when creating movies.

In recent years, the film industry has been respecting the film industry and the filmmakers who filmed virtually Guo Fan have used "Avatar" as an analogy more than once. His partner, Xu Jian, the visual effects director of the " Wandering Earth " series, said bluntly that when he watched this movie, he "did his chin fall out."

" movie is a very comprehensive thing.Because our visual effects industry is a particularly special industry, it has the intensiveness of artistic creation, the intensiveness of technological innovation, and the intensiveness of manpower. "Avatar" integrates global talents and is the world's top companies to complete it together, so in terms of resources that can be mobilized, I think the gap is still relatively large. ”

With the development of China's film special effects technology in recent years and the admiration of the film industry, more and more films are comparable to that in terms of technology.

Director Lu Yang admitted in an interview that the technology of " Assassination of the novelist " can be compared with "Avatar". In addition, it includes " Mozart in Outer Space" directed by Chen Sicheng , Zhang Chi The same is true for the movie "The Loneliness Moon" directed by Yu.

Before the release of the movie "Alita: Battle Angel", Cameron came to China to promote it. At that time, the movie "The Wandering Earth" was "harvesting" the box office in theaters.

Although Guo Fan humbly stated that the visual effect technology at that time was a certain distance from Hollywood, Cameron bluntly said, " China's current visual effect has developed to a certain level over time, and can be comparable to other visual effect companies around the world. He is ready to welcome any imagined science fiction blockbuster. ”

2.

technology can be learned, but for the creation of a work, there is more than that behind it.

Movie Man Huang Jianxin When talking about the technology and imagination of "Avatar", he specifically mentioned that technology provides a processing process for movies. In 2010 of Economic Globalization, global processing of movies has become a form, and even many Hollywood animation films were completed in the hands of China's outsourcing team.

" technology can be used directly, and (behind the movie) more important is creativity. "

Revisiting "Avatar" and director Guo Fan, who regards Cameron as his idol, was amazed at the other party's movie world view, which made him, who was creating " Wandering Earth 2" at the time, feel it is not easy. "The script of " "Wandering Earth 2" will involve more human society, which shows that building a world view itself is particularly difficult. ”

From technology to story creation, most Chinese filmmakers find nutrients in "Avatar" and promote their own development.

At that time, director Lu Chuan After watching "Avatar" in the cinema, he said bluntly on his blog, , "We should be ashamed of the purity of "Avatar". ”

At that time, many movie creations were imitating the way of commercial blockbusters that "Heroes" broke out, lacking humanistic care. But we can also see that today's Chinese movies have many creative works of warm realism, especially in the creative expression of visual blockbusters such as "The Wandering Earth" and "Assassination of Novelists", the story line involving family emotions eventually became the glorious point of the story.

The emotions of creation are mutual. When the movie "Avatar" was re-released in China, Cameron talked about the commonality of stories and emotions in an interview, and even specifically mentioned the film "Hello, Li Huanying " directed by Jia Ling, " I think every story, whether it is science fiction or modernity, or happened in the 1980s, a story like "Hello, le Huanying", is about people, and people will be emotionally connected to each other. ”

From imagination to worldview, to emotional construction, "Avatar" is not done overnight.

From "Titanic" to "Avatar", after 12 years, Cameron has not released any other works. For such a director, he naturally has no shortage of opportunities. Only by focusing on creation can he achieve the perfection of films.

"Avatar" to "Avatar 2", there is 13 years apart. Apart from the production of the movie " Alita " and the restoration of the movie "Titanic", Cameron has never done other directorial work.

repeatedly delayed votes, which still made the outside world a little confused about the director's talent. It was not until recently that he revealed in an interview that he hoped that the story of "Avatar 2" would make the audience feel three levels, but the script did not meet his requirements at the time, so it was overturned.

Looking back at the current creators, there are naturally also filmmakers with strong creative power. But more filmmakers need to know how to embrace purity. Before entering the market, movies are never commodities, but feelings and ideals. One-sided pursuit of commercial value will ultimately lose both efficiency and reputation.

Although it is a bit exaggerated after more than ten years of hard work, more what needs to be learned behind it is the creator's thoughts about movies. After all, making movies is a skill, but also a skill.
