Chapter 2056 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

"And what about Avatar? How did you get started?"

How did this great film start? There are several versions rumored by the outside world, but none of them are as convincing as Cameron's own words, even if this guy is also a good storyteller.

"I remember it was the spring of 2005, and I was meeting with Fox executives and asking for millions of dollars to make Avatar, which I wrote 10 years ago.

At that time, the other party asked me a question: Do all aliens need to drag a tail?

My answer is yes, they need to have tails.

Then I didn't say anything, and I didn't explain anymore.

Fox executives stopped questioning and agreed to conduct a shooting test. They knew that I was a blockbuster in Hollywood, and my power needless to say. "

Such narcissistic words may not be offensive unless Cameron said them.

"Next, I hired experts to design an entirely new language system for the Na'vi people on Pandora; proceeded to name Pandora's flora and fauna; determined the planet's atmospheric density; and created alien music. Finally, writers and editors The team compiled a 350-page Pandora Handbook."

Yang Cheng joined in at the right time, "Undoubtedly, "Avatar" will make you win the movie world again."

Cameron shrugged with a smile, and did not speak. At this time, silence speaks louder than words.

"Compared with movies, I prefer to explore the world. Of course, movies are another form of exploration, you know..."

Yang Cheng nodded, "I understand~"

"I once drove a green submarine alone, slowed down through layers of sea water, and finally landed gently on the bottom of the sea at 10,898 meters.

The Mariana Trench, known as the deepest part of the earth, welcomed the third person to arrive after 52 years.

I don't know how many more dives I will have, but my goal is to explore this unknown world as much as possible.

Since I obtained my scuba diving certification at the age of 15 in a swimming pool in Buffalo, New York, USA, I have spent more than 30,000 hours in the sea in more than 40 years, and I have had more than 72 deep sea diving experiences, of which 33 The next target is the wreck of the Titanic.

The sea is so colorful,

Numerous amazing creatures live in it, and the imagination of nature has no boundaries at all compared to our imagination.

I think, so far I know very little about the ocean, but my curiosity about the ocean has continued. "

Cameron made no secret of his love for the sea. Yang Cheng said, "I think you have combined your love for diving with movies and become a source of inspiration for countless creations."

"Yes~" Cameron affirmed.

Like many of the celebrities that biographers love, James Cameron's early life was remarkable and prophetic.

He was born in a middle-class family in Orlando, Canada. His father was an electrical engineer and his mother was an artist. It seemed that he was destined to have talents in both engineering and art.

In the 1960s, the scope of human activities expanded with the development of science and technology. Americans landed on the moon and reached the Mariana Trench.

Cameron and his peers began to see different parts of the world, different creatures through TV, and their love for science fiction and nature grew up with Cameron's generation.

The inner hobby has always been the highest coordinate to guide Cameron. After graduating from middle school, he soon dropped out of college because he thought the university courses were boring, and went to do mechanical repair work that he thought was interesting. For a long time, his master The job is to drive trucks for others to make money.

It wasn't until he saw "Star Wars" that he finally chose film as his career. He likes to tell stories and draw pictures, and film seemed to be the most suitable job.

"I didn't go to university, but I was baptized by two of the best universities in the world. One is the movies I watched, and I learned enough knowledge from countless classics; the other is working at Kaman Studios. Anyone who has experienced that kind of intensity of work will become a talent." Looking back on his career, Cameron said.

From making stunt models for "Star Wars", to serving as a group director and film production designer for "Galaxy of Terror", "stunt" has become the most important label of Cameron's films.

Cameron, who did not become a professional diver, did not forget to put his love on the screen.

In 1989, Cameron wrote and directed the third heavyweight work "The Abyss". This sci-fi film originated from the ideas that appeared in high school biology classes-the story of oil drilling workers discovering future underwater creatures ———The description of the mysterious creatures under the sea is a big attempt of the film.

In order to better shape the creatures of the deep sea, Cameron set a new milestone for the development of movie special effects in "The Abyss".

First of all, it created unprecedented underwater special effects. Cameron creatively used various methods to express underwater wonders in the film. Its underwater special effects inspired a group of filmmakers. ", "Red Tide Storm", and "U-571" were all greatly influenced by this film. Cameron's later "Titanic" also used many special effects practiced in "The Abyss". .

On the other hand, he used "computer-generated animation" - CG.

The application of CG produced the first soft-surface, computer-generated image in film history. This technology not only solves the difficulty of using models to shoot living organisms in three-dimensional space, but also creates a convincing image of underwater swimming intelligent creatures, and creates the most memorable scene in the film—a deformable water column.

While the movie nearly cost the company money, audiences around the world were blown away by the new technology.

"By the way, do you know? Filming "Titanic" was actually just to satisfy my desire for adventure."

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I have heard of this legend, but is it true? I thought it was fabricated by the media."

"It's true, back then, I dropped the book "Titanic: A Pictorial History" on the desk of Twentieth Century Fox Chairman Peter Chernin and said to him: The story of Romeo and Juliet is on this ship !

I think this sentence worked, and I told him: We are going to sink to the bottom of the sea to shoot the real picture of the Titanic, and we will show this clip at the premiere, which will cause a lot of sensation, It will do well at the box office too!

I thought it would fail, but to my surprise, Fox agreed to pay to support me to explore the Titanic.

But the film company didn't know. For me, diving to visit the wreck of the Titanic was the main purpose, and making a movie was just a side effect. Until now, I still feel crazy. "

Although he said it was crazy, anyone could hear the pride in his tone.
