China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 577 Premiere Interview

At 5 a.m. on May 23, the crew of Avatar released the trailer of the movie, which is called "Pandora".

This trailer shows extremely beautiful movie scenes, especially the scene of the Na'vi fighting in the jungle and flying in the sky on flying dragons, which shows the beauty and vastness of Pandora.

The theme song accompanying the trailer is "Faded". The mysterious and ethereal melody and dynamic electronic music make the movie Avatar even more sci-fi.

Originally, Avatar was a work that Cameron, the top Hollywood director, had been preparing for many years. With Zhang Nanyi and Liu Yifei starring in the movie, which are now popular all over the world, the movie has attracted the most attention.

After the trailer came out, the number of views continued to rise, and the number of views on YouTube exceeded 20 million in one day.

Netizens also gave positive reviews to the trailer.

"The pictures in the trailer are so beautiful. The mysterious and beautiful planet Pandora is fascinating. Avatar must be a great movie. I am looking forward to it!"

"The appearance of the Na'vi people is a bit strange. Crystal Liu seems to be at a disadvantage in this movie because her original appearance cannot be seen.

Only Zhang can reveal his face.

I am a fan of Zhang and Liu, no matter what, I will definitely watch this movie! "

"It is said that in the movie Avatar, Cameron used the most advanced shooting technology, and the pictures are extremely beautiful. Going to the cinema to watch the imax version can achieve an immersive effect.

After watching the trailer, I feel that the picture is indeed top-notch, worthy of Cameron. "

"The scene where Zhang rides and rolls on the flying dragon is so cool! I hope he can show more exciting fights in the movie."

"I like the song in the trailer more than the picture. It's called Faded. This song is so nice. When will the single be released? I want to listen to it while running."

"Indeed, this song is very dynamic, and the use of electronic music is just right. After looking at the composer of the song, it turned out to be Zhang. His talent is truly great!

You can go to YouTube Music to listen to Faded. There is a digital version of the single album, and you can listen to it casually after purchasing it. "

After the trailer of Avatar was released, the song Faded also became popular and became extremely popular.

Seeing how popular the song Faded was, the crew invested some publicity funds and began to focus on promoting the movie theme song Faded, hoping to use the theme song to promote the movie.

The effect is still very good.

During this period, the songs of Faded were heard in the streets at home and abroad, and many people knew that there was a movie called Avatar that was about to be released.

The song "Faded" is sung by Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei, who was already very popular in the music scene because of the huge sales of her second English album, has continued her popularity and her status as an international queen is as stable as an old dog.

On May 5, Zhang Nanyi and Liu Yifei flew to the United States to attend the American premiere of Avatar.

The premiere was held in Hollywood. Although it was not open to the public, there were still a large number of fans guarding various streets in Hollywood on the day of the premiere.

Tickets for the premiere are priced at up to 8000 yuan each, which is really a sky-high price.

The night of the premiere was also packed with stars, and the scene was no less than the Oscars.

There are so many stars here, partly because of Cameron's connections and influence.

On the other hand, YouTube Films is growing day by day, not only in the field of TV series, but also in the field of movies. Movies such as Wolverine, Iron Man, and Twilight have been very successful. The company still has a large number of copyrights and films to be filmed. film project.

Many people came to support YouTube Movies.

Because we were confident in the quality of the movie, we invited a lot of media representatives and film critics to the premiere of Avatar.

Not only that, the premiere of the movie was also simultaneously broadcast live on YouTube and Daju.com.

The live broadcast is divided into three parts. The first part is the red carpet of the premiere, and the second part is when the movie is screened live. Avatar highlights are played in the live broadcast room, and online Q&A and other lottery activities are held.

The third stage is the end of the live film screening, and interviews from the premiere are simultaneously played in the live broadcast room.

Because Avatar is extremely popular, coupled with the popularity of Zhang Nanyi and Liu Yifei, the number of people in the live broadcast room is also very large.

When walking on the red carpet, the combined number of viewers on YouTube and Daju.com exceeded 1200 million.

When the movie finished playing and the live interview was about to begin, the number of people in the live broadcast room directly exceeded 2000 million.

As soon as the scene was cut to the scene, the audience in the live broadcast room saw the audience at the premiere. They all stood up spontaneously and applauded enthusiastically. The applause lasted for more than a minute.

The camera panned to the audience. Everyone was very excited and applauded vigorously.

In the live broadcast room, there was a lot of discussion.

"Looking at the excited expressions and wild applause of the audience, I'm sure that Avatar must be super good-looking!"

"I envy these audiences who grabbed tickets. The movie doesn't matter, I want to see Zhang up close!"

"The applause lasted for one minute. This was definitely not from a performance. Fortunately, I got tickets for the premiere of Avatar in China!"

"Brother, do you want to sell your tickets? I'm willing to pay ten times the price!"

……

Amidst the applause, the main creative staff of Avatar went on stage together and were interviewed.

Today's host is also an old friend, Ellen from The Ellen DeGeneres Show. She first made a few jokes to liven up the atmosphere before starting the interview.

The first person to be interviewed was Sigourney, who plays Dr. Augustine.

Allen said: "Respecting the old and loving the young is not only a virtue for Chinese people, but also for us Americans. Let me interview the senior Sigourney first."

She deliberately emphasized the word "老" to make fun of Sigourney.

After everyone burst into laughter, Allen asked: "Sigourney, you are indeed an old-timer. You have been filming in Hollywood for more than thirty years and have acted in many classic movies.

Do you think the movie Avatar is any different from the previous movies you starred in?

Do you have any special feelings about working with Cameron and Zhang at the same time? "

Sigourney shrugged his shoulders and said: "On the set of Avatar, there are so many things to talk about, and all the feelings are very special.

But if you want to say the biggest difference, that is the quarrels that happen almost every day on the set.

I have been filming for 32 years, and I have never had any crew. Every day of filming starts with a quarrel. "

As soon as Sigourney said this, the creative staff all laughed heartily, and the audience's curiosity was aroused. Allen duly praised: "We all know that Cameron has a high level of achievement, but his temper is as high as his achievements.

A tyrant on the set, to put it bluntly, this is the evaluation of Cameron by many actors who have worked with him.

If you don’t believe it, you can ask Leonardo. "

The camera showed Xiao Li Zi in the audience, and the scene burst into laughter.

Allen asked: "In my imagination, the Avatar crew should be Cameron's dictatorial domain. Who dares to quarrel?"

Sigourney explained with a smile: "Because there is another KING on the set, and that is Zhang.

When I come to the set every day, I can hear Cameron and Zhang arguing about how to shoot this shot, this action is not good enough, the lines in the script are not ideal, and they will quarrel over every detail. "

There was an uproar at the scene. No one expected that Zhang Nanyi and Cameron could really quarrel.

Americans have the impression that Cameron is also a tyrant on the set. Sigourney's answer completely broke Cameron's past image.

Allen seemed to know that the audience didn't believe it, so he asked Stephen Lang on the other side: "Is what Sigourney said true? Why don't I believe it?"

Stephen nodded and said clearly: "It's all true, Zhang and Cameron not only quarreled, but they also quarreled very loudly.

When I first heard it, I was very scared.

You know, both of them are excellent filmmakers and highly successful people. We "little people" dare not get involved in the quarrel.

But over time, we get used to it.

That's how Cameron and Chang worked together, and through their countless bickerings, our movie got better and better. "

Allen asked Liu Yifei again, and Liu Yifei naturally boasted about Zhang Nanyi. She said: "I have worked with Zhang Nanyi for many years and know his personality and style.

When the crew was filming, Zhang Hui was in a state of "disowning all relatives" and everything focused on the quality of the work.

So when he sees bad things on the set, he won't say, "Okay, you're Cameron, I'll give you some face." Instead, he will point them out directly and try to improve these problems.

Cameron probably wasn't used to it at first. Some people were criticizing him on the set, but Zhang dealt with the situation rather than the person, and his suggestions were all good, so in the end, Cameron also learned to compromise and give in.

In the movie Avatar, many aspects such as music score, action design, and Na'vi image design were all completed by Zhang Lai.

Any movie that Zhang participates in will bear his personal imprint, and Avatar is no exception.

It's a pity that Cameron refused to further revise and improve the script, otherwise the movie Avatar would have been even more perfect. "

Liu Yifei is really a die-hard Zhang Chui. In her opinion, her husband's contribution to the movie Avatar is the biggest.

Moreover, she has the support of Zhang Nanyi, who is from the management, and does not care about Cameron's feelings at all. She really says whatever she has to say.

As soon as her speech came out, the audience was a little commotion. Everyone was in disbelief. The audience in the live broadcast room even spoke enthusiastically.

“Zhang and Cameron had a falling out, which is perfectly normal.

Although Zhang doesn't like to lose his temper on the set, he always sticks to his word and is always the talker of the set.

And Cameron is a tyrant on the set. Once the two of them disagree, a quarrel is inevitable. "

"It's normal to argue, but to argue every day, I didn't expect it, and it was Cameron who finally compromised, which is even more incredible."

"What's unbelievable is that the person Cameron gave in to was Zhang, who is a super rich man and a talented industry leader who has produced countless classic works.

If any ordinary person dares to make irresponsible remarks in front of Cameron, just get out! "

"I think it's pretty good. Good works are the result of quarrels. Cameron and Zhang quarrel every day, so the movie Avatar must be very good. I'm looking forward to it even more."

"So, whose work is Avatar? I always thought it was a Cameron movie. After today's interview, it turns out that Zhang is also the creator."

"It can be regarded as a movie co-created by the two. Cameron did not compromise on the most critical plot of the movie, otherwise this movie would really be Zhang's movie."

……

The discussion in the live broadcast room was very lively, but the on-site interview continued. After Liu Yifei spoke, Allen asked Zhang Nanyi.

Zhang Nanyi said calmly: "No work is perfect. Cameron and I both know this, but we do our best to be close to perfection.

Cameron is a great director, and Avatar is undoubtedly his movie. He has been preparing for it for ten years and put in a lot of effort.

And I happen to be good at action, character design, music, etc.

So I helped him improve this work, and I also want to thank Cameron for his tolerance and understanding of me.

Although we quarreled every day, we never became red-faced. The crew also ran very smoothly, and the filming progress far exceeded expectations. "

After hearing what Zhang Nanyi said, Cameron confirmed that Avatar was his movie, and nodded happily. He reciprocated and said: "Zhang is right. In fact, our relationship is more like confidants.

When we first met, it was Liu who auditioned for the leading role.

But Zhang and I hit it off instantly and we got along very well. We always have endless topics to talk about on the movie Avatar.

During the time when Zhang returned to China, we kept in touch on the phone and discussed all aspects of Avatar.

There is no doubt that Zhang is a genius. His ideas are endless and each one is unparalleled. He inspired me a lot in the production of the movie Avatar, and I admire his talent.

We often quarrel, but we only quarrel once a day at most. In fact, it is to unify all differences before shooting, and the work efficiency is very high.

Zhang was the film's assistant director, and his contribution to Avatar is absolutely unique. "

Although Zhang Nanyi said that Avatar is Cameron's movie, Cameron's subsequent remarks directly confirmed Liu Yifei's words.

Everyone has confirmed some facts. Zhang Nanyi and Cameron had indeed been quarreling on the set, and many of the contents of the movie Avatar were creatively decided by Zhang Nanyi.
