The hands of the clock have long passed midnight.
Alan Ryder Jr. is still in his office at Twentieth Century Fox and has not gone home.
He looked a little agitated, pacing around the room, having trouble settling his mind.
Since taking the position of president of 20th Century Fox, Alan Ryder Jr. has rarely paid too much attention to the box office of a film.
Except for Avatar.
The investment in the movie is so huge that even if Meyers Pictures shares a portion, it’s still a huge amount.
I don’t know how long it took, but little Alan Ryder was already a little tired and sat on the large office chair.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Little Alan Ryder immediately jumped up from his chair
“The statistics are out? How much is the box office?”
“Sir, the data is in the folder, I haven’t looked at it yet.”
Little Alan Ryder couldn’t wait to grab the folder from the secretary’s hand, opened it and saw the numbers on it.
Even as calm as he was, after seeing the series of numbers, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy in his heart..
34.2 million U.S. dollars.
This is the total midnight box office of”Avatar” in 3,452 theaters in North America.
For a science fiction movie with no prequel, no original work, no big star starring, and the story lacks audience recognition, the single The number of the museum is close to 10,000 US dollars, which is already a very good report card.
Although this number is lower than the single museum of”Joker” which exceeds 10,000 US dollars, James Cameron’s movies have always had a long-lasting momentum, and many of them are increasing. The urgently renovated 3DIMAX theater has not yet started showing screenings.
In other words, this result is provided by most of the 2D theaters.
Martin also received the news.
Drew, who was lying next to him, said:” It doesn’t seem to be particularly high.”
Yang Mi on the other side also said:”Indeed, it seems that the results of”Avatar” will not exceed your”Joker”》”
Martin shook his head and smiled:”Don’t forget, most of the screens shown at midnight are 2D screens. In terms of the plot of this movie, it is actually not suitable for watching in 2D theaters. In other words,”Avatar” is not suitable for watching in 2D theaters. Haven’t started exerting force yet.！”
Yang Miyou thought of the shock yesterday and couldn’t help but nodded in agreement.
“You seem to be particularly optimistic about this movie. Do you think it will be a box office hit? Can it surpass”Titanic”? Drew was a little curious.
Martin said mysteriously:”Just wait and see, the box office of this masterpiece of the century will shock everyone’s jaws.””
《”Avatar” adopts the ordinary theater version and the 3D theater version、IMAX 3D three screening methods.
It is precisely because of the great success of”Avatar” that 3D cinemas、IMAX 3D cinemas have become popular all over the world and have even become the mainstream of movie viewing in the future.
If any blockbuster movie doesn’t have a 3D version, it would be outdated.
…………
“It’s 162 minutes long. I thought I would fall asleep watching it, but I didn’t blink the whole time.”
“This is a movie that can’t be missed in every frame. James Cameron has created a whole new world.”
“Guys, I also went to see it, but it doesn’t seem to be as good as you said? A very ordinary story, of course, the pictures are beautiful”
“Upstairs, you must watch the 2D version. You must watch the 3D version of this movie. Really, the sense of reality will make you feel like you are on the planet Pandora.”
“I was shocked. Has film technology developed to this point? This isn’t just a movie, it’s sci-fi in itself!”
“What does Avatar mean? This title is so weird? I haven’t seen it yet. Is this movie worth watching?”
“Avatar is derived from the Indian Buddhist term, which means that the soul is transferred into a new body. After watching the movie you will know why this name was chosen. As for whether it is worth watching, I can only say that if you don’t watch it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”
“What you said above is correct, but I would like to remind you that you must watch the 3D cinema version.、IMAX 3D version, the effect will definitely shock you.”
The evaluation of”Avatar” on the Internet is polarized.
After watching the 2D version, I just thought the story was average.
But after watching the 3D theater version、IMAX The 3D version is all very shocking.
The reviews in the mainstream media are mostly praising, because those movie critics basically watched the 3D version.
“This is an epoch-making film. I think the Hollywood film industry should be divided into two stages.——《Before”Avatar”, after”Avatar””
“A whole new world is waiting for you. James Cameron used his unique brain to create a whole new world, but it makes everyone feel that it is real.”
“Everyone should be grateful to one person for seeing such a shocking movie in the theater-Martin Meyers. In fact, the plan for this film began in 1998. At that time, James Cameron hoped that”Avatar” could take advantage of the global popularity of”Titanic” so that the film could be released in 1999.
However, due to the high investment of 300 million, no film company was able to accept this order. As a result, the filming plan of this film has been far away. Until one day, Martin said to him: I am willing to invest.
It was precisely because of Martin’s investment that 20th World Fox was worried about losing Cameron, a great director, so it invested the other half of the money, otherwise you might not see the current”Avatar”.” (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
《The news of”Avatar” not only spread in entertainment media, but also spread to technology media.
《Serious media such as Science Magazine also commented on the film:
“Since Hollywood entered the year 2000, visual effects blockbusters have emerged one after another, and the”Lord of the Rings” trilogy is one of the masterpieces.
It can be said that”The Lord of the Rings” has had a revolutionary impact on the visual effects industry around the world.
James Cameron once said that he was attracted by the image of Gollum in”The Lord of the Rings”. This is a character created by motion capture technology. Its appearance marks the maturity of motion capture technology.
So after the”Avatar” project was launched, James Cameron invited Weta Studio and Industrial Light and Magic, which produced the”Lord of the Rings” series, to be responsible for the visual effects part of”Avatar”.
Using motion capture technology, the three-meter-tall Na’vi people were created lifelike.
In the film, the facial expressions of the Na’vi people played by the actors are the top priority. There are many motion capture points on the face, and the corresponding software is used to record the facial expression activities, allowing CGI producers to perform CG production.
It is reported that James Cameron used a total of 1,600 special effects shots in the film. In addition to 40% of the real-shot scenes, as many as 60% of the film’s images were synthesized using expensive computer technology. This is why the investment in this movie is so high”
《”Avatar” is also the well-deserved pioneer of 3D movies. In order to shoot this movie, James Cameron even modified the 3D camera to make the three-dimensional sense of the image more realistic by simulating human eyes.”
