Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 802 It's just a water test!

Li Zhifan really stands too high, so the public's expectations of him are also very high.

So when Li Zhifan said "The filming of "Avatar" was very simple", he didn't really think that the filming technology of this film was not difficult, on the contrary, the technology was very difficult. At least many technologies can only be completed by Hollywood special effects teams. The usefulness of saying this is that Lower everyone's expectations.

When everyone's expectations are lowered and they feel that "simple" movies will not replicate the previous heights, it will bring a sense of surprise after the movie is officially released.

If you let everyone look at this movie at the highest value from the very beginning, it will easily cause a gap in the audience's viewing experience and cause all kinds of failures.

In addition to the phrase "The filming of "Avatar" is very simple", Li Zhifan will also make various unconcerned actions in the follow-up, secretly contacting various parties from the media and official accounts, and creating for the audience "this is just an ordinary, simple film". The film, Li Zhifan's first entry into Hollywood to test the waters" illusion.

It's so cold at the top!

When Li Zhifan said this with emotion, he really felt that he had climbed too high. After all, among the global Chinese stars, he was the first one to enter Hollywood and stand in this position.

……

Two weeks later.

The casting work has been completed, and the online voting for the heroine has also been completed.

The No.1 vote was a Hollywood actress named Emma Fanning. Although she was born in Brazil, she was an out-and-out white girl with French parents.

Emma Fanning's experience of winning No.1 was also very thrilling. She almost fell out of the top 1 before, but after being promoted, her journey went smoothly. Finally, in the top five of the final battle, she even won No. [-] with a large score and a large number of votes. [-].

As for Liang Wei, who the Chinese had been working hard to vote before, she was eliminated when she reached the top [-], which is a pity.

However, Li Zhifan still sent her an invitation letter to play a small supporting role in "Avatar", but unfortunately her agency directly rejected it, thinking it was a dishonorable performance.

Now that the role has been selected, the filming start date is also on the agenda.

Different from the theater release version in the impression of the audience in another world, what Li Zhifan wants to shoot is the 178-minute extended full version released in the second round, because the public release version is not the most perfect presentation of "Avatar", only the 178-minute extended version, It's an epic movie.

The 178-minute version of "Avatar" can almost be drawn from the category of science fiction films that have always been underestimated. The specific difference from the 162-minute theater version is that the added plot in the 178-minute full version is far more than just Neville, who is "better than nothing". There are many small details that supplement the coherence of the story. Large passages include hunting scenes and memories of the old Neville school, and small passages include some camera transitions.

Especially in the hunting scene in the full version, there is a creature that has never shown its face in the theater version. Li Zhifan really admires the original director for being able to cut off such a special effect creature that took time and effort, especially a lot of money to make. Mellon.

In another world, "Avatar" brought much more than simple titles such as "highest-grossing movie" and "epic blockbuster with special effects". A large-scale upgrade, which is a benign development, also led to the subsequent mass production of IMAX-3D movies, and even formed a routine.

In this world, in the current era, cinema projection equipment has far surpassed the IMAX-3D standard, and the 32K giant screen, the highest-level film standard at present, has been released.

However, IMAX-3D is still the standard format commonly used in movie theaters, and many theaters also generally use 8K giant screens.

After "Avatar" is released, it is expected that the four formats of 3D, IMAX-3D, 8K giant screen, and 16K giant screen will be adopted simultaneously in the world, giving audiences more choices. In North America, some theaters with 32K giant screens, William Entertainment can also provide exclusive film sources.

The advantage of this multi-system screening is that the audience can enter the theater multiple times to watch different formats, and at the same time use this to achieve the goal of increasing the box office.

When other directors make movies, they are afraid that no audience will watch their movies, and they are afraid that everyone will complain that he is not serious.

But Li Zhifan did the opposite. He uploaded photos of himself on Kuaibo and Irs regularly every day. Sometimes he posed with the actresses on the set, and sometimes he drank coffee in a corner coffee shop. Sometimes I read books and pose in front of the balcony of the hotel, and even took photos with the male actors who were filming together in the men's room to play cool.

Anyway, it gives people a feeling of not doing business properly, and during the two-month filming period, Li Zhifan returned to China and held two concerts.

Li Zhifan's global concert tour is not completely over yet, but there are only a few final shows left, and within this year, it will all be over, but it will be the Year of the Monkey before the next tour.

In short, Li Zhifan's current impression is no longer like he was very busy when filming the "Infernal Affairs" series and "Wolf Warrior" before. No matter how you look at him, he seems to be a very idle person.

In fact, it is not easy to create such a leisurely look, especially when you are very busy, it is not easy to pretend to be very relaxed.

With his successful shaping and the promotion of online self-media, the expectation value of "Avatar" has really been lowered steadily.

"Li Zhifan is making a feature film this time!"

"It is said that all the content of "Avatar" was shot in the studio, and none of the scenes were shot outside."

""Avatar" is a story about a human being falling in love with a mutant leopard girl in the forest, and the male and female protagonists don't need to go to the forest to shoot at all. After shooting in front of the green screen, the post-production is done with special effects."

"I heard that "Avatar" is a sci-fi film about humans and aliens. The heroine is an alien who landed on the earth. The two performed all the content in the hero's house. In the end, the heroine took the spaceship that came to pick her up. left the earth."

"..."

All kinds of rumors became more and more true. Although there were different opinions, and even the specific content of "Avatar" was not clear, everyone from the media said that they had a nose and eyes, as if they had actually interviewed Li Zhifan.

Under such circumstances, it is predictable that netizens and movie fans will feel bitter.

However, under the excuse of fans using "the first challenge to a Hollywood live-action movie, it's just a test of water", the public has gradually accepted the setting and tone of ""Avatar" will not be a bullpits movie", and the popularity has also continued. It fell down every day and was gradually replaced by other new things.
