Chapter 953： after the show

"Perhaps, after I saw it, I believed the slogan on the poster: beyond imagination, it really exceeded my imagination, congratulations, James, you have completed another masterpiece, and it is absolutely so far in terms of visual effects. Unique."

At the interview meeting after the film, the reporter from Le Figaro got the right to ask the first question, and following his words, other newspaper reporters in the venue spontaneously applauded, expressing their support for Avatar. "approval.

"But we also know that this movie costs a lot of money. Before seeing the finished film, everyone may be thinking about how such a sum of money was spent. After all, this drama does not spend much on actors, but Now I think the direction of everyone's doubts should be the other way around. Is 350 million enough for such a grand visual enjoyment?"

Immediately, everyone on and off the stage fell into laughter-up to the premiere, Firefly did not disclose the cost of the film, and many things were guesses given by industry insiders based on the shooting process, and the "Le Figaro" "The reporter obviously wants to know the specific cost of "Avatar", which is actually a good news point, especially the completion of the film is very high under the high cost.

In other words, the newspaper, which came to support it from Paris, France, wisely chose a win-win and less annoying question.

"The figures circulating outside are indeed somewhat different from our costs," Joseph, president of Mann Media, took over the conversation knowingly, "but one thing, many people have guessed right, "Avatar" is indeed the most expensive movie so far. The total expenditure of Firefly is at least more than 600 million (the promotion period is far from over), but we are very confident that the project will be profitable."

600 million will go up? Reporters get excited.

"So, will there be a sequel to "Avatar"? I noticed that there seems to be a blank space in this ending. There are still many things to talk about about the development of Pandora. The protagonist Jack also stayed on it and did not return to Earth with the team." "Thames" newspaper reporter asked.

"If the box office is good, then we should start the sequel. Part of the huge amount of money spent on this movie is to construct the scene of the future city and Pandora, and it has left us with a reusable legacy worth tens of millions , we didn't plan to throw it in the trash after we finished filming. Also, the story of "Avatar" is really not finished."

"Will it still be directed by Mr. Cameron? We all know that the latest "Terminator: 2018" was so badly shot that the audience didn't buy it. It's still a very mature series."

"I will. Even if I don't direct, I will be the producer. "Avatar" is not the same as "Terminator"..." Cameron didn't want to talk about this, but in fact everyone We all know that the control of "Terminator" is no longer in the hands of the director who did everything from the script to the shooting scene.

Of course, in the face of this masterpiece, the reporter has too many things to ask, and this topic will be skipped.

"By the way, Firefly will become the investor of this project, and it has been taken over from Disney. There are rumors that it is the result of your full support from Lehman. May I ask Lehman, what role do you think you have played in such a situation? in a process."

Most of the time, Lehmann avoids too much exposure to the spotlight in his life, which is detrimental to a director. The director should speak with his works.

But at this moment, he also knew that he should stand up at the right time, "What attracts me is the shooting concept that pushes the film into the 3D era. Of course, I am just a member of the production team, and I did not play a special role in the shooting work, but may have the greatest effect. It's about providing funding, but this one, I've done pretty well—"

The reporters all laughed, and Jon Landau added, "Ryman's strong support was the biggest factor in the success of the filming." Although it was not necessary.

"You said that what attracted you to invest in the "Avatar" project was the concept of 3D shooting. Then, as a world-renowned director, what is your view on the future of 3D shooting." Some reporters seized the core of the conversation and asked again road.

"I think it will become mainstream, just as digital shooting replaces film. As a filmmaker, you may find that a new generation of audiences who have grown up likes games, TV, and YouTube more and more as a means of entertainment. If you wait. Movies don't make any progress one day, and this trend will become more and more obvious, so we have to use some specific technology to attract audiences.

In other words, what you can feel at the movie theater is different from that at home.

This is true for 3D, special effects, including imax giant screens. Differentiated experience is the future development path of the film market. Of course, I'm not saying that good stories are not needed. Although "Avatar" is doing subtraction, who said that simple stories are not good-looking? "

"From the perspective of investors, can you talk about the prospects and sources of confidence in Avatar?"

"Is this, the source of our confidence is that after so many years of market brewing special effects blockbusters are the type with the highest probability of becoming a hit on a global scale, although other themes are not without a market, But there is no doubt that special effects, as the most intuitive visual experience, have become the common excitement of global audiences.

At this point, "Avatar" has an unparalleled advantage. If you have to say something, "Avatar" does not lack the soil and environment for the outbreak. "

"I take the liberty to ask, what is the box office valuation of Avatar by you and your team?"

Lehman glanced at Cameron and said without hesitation: "It will set a record at the box office."

There was a low exclamation at the reception, maybe they all realized that Firefly's expectations were so high, "You mean, Director Cameron will break his own record and refresh the 2.1 billion box office of "Titanic" record?"

"Yes, does this number sound unbelievable? That was a record 12 years ago. After 12 years, the ticket price is higher, the screen is more, and the market value of the movie is increasing year after year. It stands to reason that the ceiling The height is already higher."

The reporters thought that the director who also broke the ceiling in France with "Untouchable" seemed to find that they were indeed convinced, at least from a market perspective, not to mention that the ticket price of the imax hall was also higher than ordinary. Field height, which is also a plus.

"It's a very fresh view, but we all know that the "Harry Potter" series and even the "Spider-Man" trilogy, which have been popular in recent years, rely on a very large fan carrier, and have not been able to touch the ceiling. An original project, Is there really such a high level of performance?"

"Isn't the combination of me and James a global guarantee?" Lehmann smiled innocently.

Ok? than fans?
