Many staff from Vita Studio have mobilized the "Avatar" project department. The special effects personnel brought by James Cameron themselves are more in coordinated work, rather than being directly responsible for the special effects production.

Young Neil Bromkamp Neil still serves as deputy director of visual effects for the crew.

The work ended early on that day. James Cameron was in a good mood and told several of his close friends that investor Ronan Anderson would soon come to Wellington, New Zealand, and he would also be with him the second investment of the project of the project of up to $50 million.

If "Avatar" wants to achieve the ideal shooting effect, there is only one way to spend money.

Neil Bromkamp Neil couldn't help but have some thoughts when he heard Ronan Anderson was coming to Wellington, but when he saw James Cameron, he remembered his kindness to him, and felt that it would be better to say hello to James Cameron in advance for this matter.

James Cameron has never restricted the entrepreneurship of his subordinates. If he can get his support and recommendation, Ronan Anderson will also pay attention to it.

Seeing James Cameron leave the office and prepare to return to the hotel after get off work, Neil Bromkamp Neal quickly followed.

"What's wrong, Neil?" James Cameron looked behind curiously: "You have something to do?"

Neil Bromkamp Neil scratched his head and said, "It's something."

James Cameron admires Neil Bromkamp Neil very much, otherwise a young man under thirty would not have become the deputy to the crew's VFX department.

He stopped: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Neil Bromkamp Neil smiled embarrassedly and said, "I mentioned to you last time that I made a science fiction short film about aliens last year."

James Cameron still remembers and said, "That "The Alien of Johannesburg"?"

Unexpectedly, James Cameron still remembered that Neil Bromkamp Neal quickly said, "Yes, it's it." He knew that James Cameron was in a tight time and asked directly: "Boss, can you take a little time to help me watch this movie?"

"Yes." James Cameron admires Neil Bromkamp Neil very much, and his own experience allows him to naturally support his subordinates to start a business: "Neil, do you have other ideas?"

Neil BromkampNeil didn't hide it: "After shooting the short film, I had the urge to make a feature film. Once this idea appeared, I could no longer suppress it. Before you summon us to the crew, I completed the script and some related designs."

Speaking of this, he scratched his head embarrassedly again: "You said Ronan Anderson would come just now, and I was wondering if I could find a chance to let him see my short film and script..."

James Cameron showed a kinder smile on his serious face. After all, this was the young man he discovered: "Let's find a place to see your short film."

Neil BromkampNeil carried the CD with him. This is Vita Studio, and the most important thing is the playback equipment.

In less than ten minutes, James Cameron finished watching Neil Bromkamp Neil's science fiction short film.

"Although it's rough and not very complete, the short film was well shot and it's very thoughtful." James Cameron asked directly: "Are you mapping South Africa's apartheid policy?"

Neil BromkampNeil said: "Yes, it's not just South Africa, I think the apartheid policy that exists within human society is a cancer."

James Cameron patted his shoulder: "Ronan will come tomorrow afternoon, and you will be with me when you go."

Neil BromkampNeal was instantly ecstatic and said quickly: "Okay, OK..."

"Bring your script and plan." James Cameron considered that Neil BromkampNeal had been following him since the post-production of Titanic and had served him for seven or eight years. This kind of small thing that he only recommended by the way was nothing: "Neil, be more prepared and trying to impress Ronan Anderson is not as easy as it is said outside."

It is said that Ronan Anderson appreciates and likes to promote new players, but James Cameron has had many dealings with Ronan Anderson, and he can see this so-called rumor very clearly: there is only one reason why that new player and new project can impress Ronan Anderson, and Ronan Anderson can see the profit prospects from it.

Otherwise, let alone his recommendation, even Ronan Anderson's best friend Tom Cruise would not be easy to recommend.

The next afternoon, Ronan arrived in Wellington on time, put his luggage in the hotel, and immediately brought relevant financial and assistants to Wita Studio to meet James Cameron.

Vita Studio is not so much a company as a large factory. Most of the studios are special effects studios converted from factories. The successful "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and the remake of "King Kong" to be released this year, all the related special effects productions are completed here.

Accompanied by James Cameron and other crew members, Ronan, the investor, walked into the special effects studio that had been built.

As soon as he entered, Ronan saw a familiar figure. Jessica Alba was wearing a motion capture suit and was doing some strange movements in front of the camera according to Andy Serkins's request.

Ronan is an amateur in motion capture and cannot see any tricks.

James Cameron introduced: "The crew is carrying out 3D modeling work for Nami." He saw Ronan looking at Jessica Alba curiously and said: "I found Jessica to help the crew test the 3D model of the motion capture system."

Ronan nodded slightly and asked, "Are you going to let Miss Alba play the heroine?"

James Cameron shook his head: "It's not confirmed yet, Jessica is only responsible for testing the model system."

Ronan didn't say anything more. James Cameron and Jessica Alba have a good relationship, which is not a secret in Hollywood. There were reports on the Internet that Jessica Alba, who had almost half-time rest after getting married, would meet James Cameron from time to time.

Even when preparing for the sequel to "Avatar", the reunion of James Cameron and Jessica Alba has also caused speculation from the outside world about Jessica Alba's appearance.

There are also rumors that there is something unclear about James Cameron and Jessica Alba.

The first one to believe this rumor, Ronan, is unlimitedly close to zero.

Perhaps, in the eyes of most people, Jessica Alba is a very beautiful woman, regardless of the East or the West.

But in James Cameron's eyes, Jessica Alba is just ordinary.

It is not difficult for those who have a little understanding of James Cameron to find that Jessica Alba does not conform to James Cameron's consistent aesthetic at all.

To put it simply, Jessica Alba's facial contour is too soft, not square enough, and not tough enough; her figure is too slender and not thick enough...

After watching the crew like a quick look, the people around him gradually dispersed. James Cameron suddenly said, "Ronan, do you have time? Show you a science fiction short film."

Ronan was curious: "What science fiction short film?"

Because of James Cameron's reputation, Ronan naturally attaches great importance to it.

James Cameron waved to a young man and said, "This is my assistant Neil Bromkamp Neil. He made a science fiction short film and thus created a plan for feature films. Don't you know if you are interested?"

What can be recommended by James Cameron is definitely not trash. Ronan glanced at the very strange young man in front of him and said, "What you recommend is unusual, so of course I want to see it."

Neil BromkampNeal received a gesture from James Cameron and quickly stepped forward to introduce himself: "Hello, Mr. Anderson, I am Neil BromkampNeal, from South Africa. I am currently assisting James in handling some of his visual effects work on the crew."

Ronan shook hands with him and said, "I'm happy to know you."

Neil Bromkamp Neil was not too long-winded. He pulled up the curtains in the office, opened the projection equipment he had prepared before, and put on his own science fiction short film he shot last year.

James Cameron made an excuse and left here.

He is only responsible for referrals.

This is already very rare.

Ronan also focused on the short video played, especially when he saw aliens appearing, he couldn't help but frown slightly. This alien, like a prawn or an arthropod, naturally had an inexplicable sense of joy.

I seem to have seen it somewhere?

Of course, he had never seen aliens, but could only see aliens imagined by humans through film and television works or other pictures and other materials.

In the United States, there are many rumors about District 51, and a very large number of people have always believed that the American government has absolutely concealed the truth. In a hidden area of ​​a certain state, there must be facilities to hide the truth of aliens...

The short film is very short, only a little over six minutes, but the plot and theme are explained very clearly, telling the story of a group of aliens who came to Earth because of their death and were arranged to live in Johannesburg, South Africa. As a result, they continued to conflict with local residents. The government finally had to impose a ban and quarantine on aliens and establish a special temporary residence for aliens.

Even if he doesn't know South Africa in particular, Ronan can see that this young man from South Africa obviously maps South Africa's apartheid policy through short films.

Having said that, a country like South Africa is more strange than that of Greater America.

Ronan has never been there, but according to Charlize Theron, her motherland seems to have worse economic conditions and social security than when she was a child.

At the end of the short film, Ronan looked at Neil Bromkamp Neil and said, "A very thoughtful short film."
Chapter completed!
