On December 16, "Avatar: Way of Water" had a box office of over 165 million on the first day, of which the box office of over 36 million was more than 36 million, which means that 273,000 people spent a big night in the movie on this day.
The cinema has been deserted for a long time. In the three years of the epidemic, cinemas have been shut down and the market has hit new lows. But the great director Cameron returns with the "Ace Pigeon" "Avatar 2", and the cinema becomes a palace-like existence again.
In 2009, when "Avatar" was released, it set a record of people everywhere, and many people are still vivid in their minds. It is no exaggeration to say that this film has pushed the film into an era with its own strength. Cameron used the 3D photography system independently developed by his team to expand the depth space presented on the screen to an unprecedented level. The new dynamic capture animation technology makes the virtual characters' every frown and smile realistic to an unprecedented level. As for box office, it has maintained its dominance of the world's highest-grossing movies. From its birth, the significance of "Avatar" has far exceeded its own as a movie.
13 years later, "Avatar 2" is still more than just a movie. On the day of the release of
, the five largest theater chains in the country, Wanda, came to a zero-minute fan party. The five major cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Dalian and Jinan were connected in the same frame, and live-screen broadcasts were conducted in ten cities including Guangzhou, Chengdu, Dongguan , Ningbo , Changsha, Daqing , Hefei, Qingdao , Shenyang, Nanchang , etc. The space in the theater is dressed up with Avatar elements. Many viewers specially selected blue clothes as a match for the movie. Some fans carefully cosplayed the Avatar. The loud countdown slogans were shouted inspiring. Many people said that memories from thirteen years ago have continued to influence their career and even life choices later... A movie is released, for a group of people, it is like celebrating the festival.
"Avatar 2" at the Jiuguang Center Store of Shanghai Huanying Cinema is at midnight.
If the first "Avatar" came out of nowhere, the 3D Blue Star created by Cameron is curious and exciting, and this "Avatar 2" presents another skill in technology, an extremely real psychological feeling created through excessively realistic vision.
Cameron once said, "No matter what problem you encounter, it is ten times more difficult than before." The addition of water elements not only requires simulating extremely complex fluid dynamics, but also solving various details of underwater shooting and underwater motion capture . The interface between air and water will also form a "mobile mirror". If these links are slightly improperly handled or the calculations are not accurate enough, some awkward flaws will always be revealed.

"Water" technically peaks is another realm, which makes people forget to sigh at the cleverness and advancement of the special effects. Everything is as clear and clear as many rare beasts and Navi people on the planet Pandora are real. The flickering and flow of light and shadow in each frame of the film, the delicateness and rhythm of the water splashes, and the posture and influence generated by the interaction between characters, animals and water are so realistic that people completely ignore the existence of technology.
"You don't think it's a person who makes special effects. It feels like a real person with flesh and blood, with a soul. Not only has a soul, but also a feeling of being in harmony with your heart. I am in the special effects industry. I often see a trace of light that is not easy to capture in his eyes. It's so shocking."
Huang Shi, the top domestic visual effects artist, still remembers that after he went back to watch "Avatar" for the first time, "I was excited for almost a week, which completely changed my understanding of a movie art." Afterwards, Huang Shi interpreted the highlights of "Avatar: Way of Water" from a professional perspective to movie fans. "Special effects are most afraid of two things. One is hair, and the other is water. It has water and hair, which is conceivable. Cameron invented many of these technologies, doing underwater motion capture and various anti-reflection, including photography, is a very original process.”
Huangshi
Regarding the technological breakthrough achieved by this movie, Huangshi excitedly said, “The name "The Way of Water" has two meanings. One is about the 'Water Way' in its film. In addition, for us special effects practitioners, it is more about water. Its status in the special effects industry has completely changed. The special effects of "Avatar 2" have brought our water to a whole new level. "
film critic Tan Fei sighed with the recent World Cup spirit, "Avatar is the Hercules Cup of the movie." At the same time, when extending to the influence of this movie on Chinese movie , Tan Fei said, "Chinese movies are also affected by "Avatar", including the Wandering Earth we saw. Because this special effect technology moves forward all over the world, Chinese filmmakers can stand on the shoulders of giants. "Avatar" is a giant. "
Marine environmental protection master and popular science writer Ma Zhiheng provides cross-border interpretations of the underwater world and new species in the movie - Ma Zhiheng interprets the prototype of the important character "Tu Kun" in the film, from the humpback whale on the earth. "Tu Kun's tail is a bit like the fin feet of a seal, and there are some very thick carapaces growing on its back; another animal sweeping pterosaur, whose lifestyle is a bit similar to flying fish, vividly borrows the body of the sailfish on the earth, and the head of the pterosaur , and at the same time, the teeth of the pterosaur create a sense of strangeness. "
Ma Zhiheng also combined the previous "Avatar" to analyze the food chain and ecosystem of Pandora, and even interpreted the evolutionary code of the Navi tribe from the details. "Although its story takes place on a strange alien planet, the appearance of the animals inside is still based on certain scientific basis. ”
From Pan Lemur to Navi people.
Some people fall in love with movies because of "Avatar", some people fall in love with technology because of "Avatar", and some people love the earth more because of "Avatar".
"From the first time I saw 3D "Avatar", we have a connection with "Avatar". Since he left, we have been waiting for his arrival as if we were waiting for his lover. "A Beijing movie fan said in sharing, "We see humanistic care from the film, not only the shock of sound effects, but also the concept of environmental protection. The changes brought to our lives have made us notice that humans and organisms around the world are fair, allowing us to move towards the path of environmental protection and become volunteers. "

Reporter's Notes: This is the reason why cinemas must exist
Even if you complain about the high ticket price of movies, you can't wait to browse the big night to go to Pandora for a big night. Recommended friends who have not bought tickets yet, don't lower the bid if you can watch IMAX. If the screen is not big enough, try to choose the front position in the middle of the theater. When watching the movie, you will definitely hope to be closer to that world. As long as the scenery in the picture is beautiful, you will wish that the screen will be bigger and bigger, want to see every detail clearly, and want to be wrapped in a huge screen and completely immersed in the splendor created by Cameron.
posted the ticket stub, and a series of people asked, "Is it good? "
" looks good! "It is an unquestionable answer. "Avatar 2" is such a movie that can undoubtedly be described purely with the word "good-looking". It has a literal meaning without any deviation, and every glance is amazing.
In terms of plot, it is the standard Hollywood popcorn movie , the fate of the characters and the arc , the generation and resolution of conflicts, full of "routines", and just rightly grasps the rhythm of the narrative and the audience's psychology.As the main line, individual growth and family power have been proven countless times to be a panacea that will never go wrong. Environmental themes, racial identity, and the sublimation discussion of "people are human" are not necessarily exquisite or innovative, but "Avatar: Way of Water" returns to a kind of classicism with the blessing of extremely hard-core new high-tech technology. The simple story is that the way of the way is simple. All the spirits to be conveyed must be understood by anyone who sees those beautiful pictures.

Even more than 3 hours of time are necessary for such a movie. In terms of plot progress, a lot of plots in the movie do not serve the narrative. In order to avoid chasing and killing, Jack's family left the original tropical rainforest and escaped from the new island tribe, which is similar to the development path of the first "Avatar". Outsiders enter a new world, and the audience can follow the perspectives of the characters in the movie to conduct a new exploration. The "second generation" teenager perspective makes the adventure more interesting. A large number of undersea roaming and animal domestication scenes do not require any plot assistance, and emotions do not need to be summarized. All information is given to the eyes and ears.
Even if some viewers complain about the slow pace and the progress is slow, these paragraphs are the most enjoyable moments during the movie viewing process. The gaze of the big screen enters a true "immersive" experience. Time is no longer compressed and jumped by the montage editing. The physical time of every minute and every second is unified and synchronized with the movement of the characters in the film. During the viewing behavior, because of this long roaming with the protagonist, the physiological clock can also enter the whole story more empathetic.

In comparison, those "blockbusters" must be equipped with fighting and pursuit, which are standard, seem redundant and boring. After all, in the more than ten years of rapid advancement in the film industry, we have seen enough big scenes that go from heaven to earth, and all kinds of imaginative "fast and passion" have long made the so-called "miracle" that movies can create so hard to create new cuts. Even in the first third of the film, when looking back on the plot and explaining the relationship between the characters, the author felt a little sleepy in his heart - he thought that the 3D technology that shocked the world back then was no wonder after more than ten years. Pandora, who was once amazing, would be beautiful when they met again. He fell into the traditional Hollywood narrative routine of "family supremacy" and the "paternal murder" that was repeatedly changed. No matter how you look at the complex, you can guess the end by seeing the beginning.

Once the prologue of the ocean world opened, Cameron created a different world outside the earth. The simple love letter written to the earth with deep affection makes people completely abandon all expectations and scrutiny, and they can't help but take a few deep breaths from time to time.
Cameron is a "big master" worthy of film. He uses the ultimate film technology language to realize the function of the film to the greatest extent - dream creation. In this regard, "Avatar 2" is still the most "movie" movie in the current era. And we must have expectations for the third, fourth and fifth films of "Avatar", because the movie is still being filmed and produced, and those who love movies can still be gathered together like this, so there is a reason why the cinema must exist.
