Cameron is not a saint, he can only be regarded as a film master or a well-known director.
So he is not perfect and will have his own selfish desires.
His selfish desire is to be able to film Avatar 2 to better suit his ideals.
None of this has anything to do with money, or even whether the movie will be a hit in the future.
It's just your own ideal.
In the past few years, Cameron has traveled all over the world, looking for all kinds of scenery, and hired the best special effects team in the world.
But he was not satisfied.
I always feel like something is missing.
Until today, he came to Changzezhou, Changtian Technology, brought the Zemeng wearable device into the virtual world, and found the place where this movie should be shot.
In his heart, Cameron was even willing to give all the money for special effects, scenery, and scenery to Changtian Technology.
He was determined that a complete world for Avatar could be built here.
Is Changtian Technology short of money?
Changtian Technology has developed to what it is today, and Chen Xiao is not short of money at all.
Even if he knew that Avatar's total investment might exceed 2 billion U.S. dollars, close to 3 billion U.S. dollars, even if he gave all the money to Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao would not think how much it would be.
So money is not the key factor in the cooperation between the two parties.
The key factor is influence.
Chen Xiao not only needs this influence to increase the speed of unlocking the technology tree, but also hopes to promote Zemeng wearable devices, the Firefly ecological chain, and the gorgeous virtual world on a global scale.
Chen Xiao had already explained the specific negotiation conditions to Yang Fei before he received Cameron and his party.
Yang Fei said: "Mr. Cameron, it is our honor to be able to cooperate with you and build a virtual world to help with the filming of Avatar."
"So I think the price is negotiable."
"We will quote a price based on market outsourcing assistance in development. This price will definitely be higher than the price of Genshin Impact game development, but it will definitely be far lower than your original planned shooting cost."
"But the specific price still needs to be communicated by the technical personnel of both parties. We need to know how big this world view is and how many elements are involved."
Cameron nodded.
What Yang Fei said has shown that Changtian Technology is very reliable. It is not some outsourced special effects company or scene company in Hollywood. It doesn't matter what you do. Let's talk first.
And Yang Fei said it was far lower than the original planned shooting cost of the movie.
This made Cameron feel confident.
There is nothing more pleasant than being able to save a lot of money while meeting your own requirements.
But, is Changtian Technology really so willing to help? What will be the conditions of Changtian Technology?
Cameron quietly waited for Yang Fei to open his conditions.
He believes that there is absolutely no free lunch in the world.
Sure enough, Yang Fei spoke, "But Changtian Technology also has some requirements that belong to us. I hope Mr. Cameron can talk to the investors and producers."
"Sir, please speak."
Yang Fei said: "Since we will be fully involved in the construction of the entire world of Avatar, we hope to have the right to operate the world and the rights to use the Avatar characters."
Of course Cameron knows what Changtian Technology will do using the world of Avatar?
Cameron firmly believes that after the movie is shot and released, it will definitely be successful, and Avatar will definitely become the most popular IP.
Changtian Technology can expand its influence and make money by using the world of Avatar, whether it is making games or traveling.
In particular, this is a world where you can truly see the world and experience it with virtual devices. It is more intuitive and attractive than the Disney Studios and Universal Studios in the past.
Will this harm the interests of investors?
Cameron doesn't think so.
Because except for the technology of Changtian Technology, no other company or individual has the ability to display the world of Avatar so perfectly.
Therefore, even if Changtian Technology does not use such IP, few companies can implement it.
At worst, I'll just sell some peripherals.
But how much can the surrounding items be sold for?
On the contrary, if Changtian Technology can revitalize this IP, it will have important promotion significance for Cameron to shoot the third or fourth Avatar part in the future.
Cameron also knew what the conditions offered by Changtian Technology were.
Model the world for Avatar at market prices.
At the same time, we must obtain the rights to run this world and the rights to use Avatar characters and environments.
Cameron is only one of the directors and investors. For such an important matter, he still needs to discuss with the final real investors and producers before he can finally confirm it.
Cameron left the team in Changzezhou and continued to contact Changtian Technology. He immediately returned to the United States to discuss with investors.
Cameron's team was not idle and immediately communicated with Changtian Technology on relevant technical matters.
This makes it easier for Changtian Technology to calculate the specific costs of building the Avatar World.
In the end, Yang Fei's team concluded that the cost of building the model was only a few million RMB.
This is the advantage of the virtual world.
When you use scenery and special effects in the real world, you can't do things even if you spend hundreds of millions of dollars.
However, the cost of using data to build a virtual world is only a few million RMB.
Of course, Cameron cannot be told about this cost.
Saying this scared him half to death.
So Changtian Technology quoted Cameron 100 million according to the market quotation.
100 million, all-inclusive price.
Including the construction and equipment of the virtual world.
From then on, most scenes of the entire Avatar can be shot in the virtual world.
Avatar will also become the first movie capable of being shot in the virtual world.
The team at Yinghuo Ecosystem is also very considerate.
Immediately, we co-produced a small scene with the Avatar team, and the technicians played the roles themselves, and filmed it for five or six minutes.
Of course, technicians are not actors, so their acting skills are definitely not as good as those of real actors.
But these five or six minutes have already demonstrated the world of Hongda, showing that in the virtual world everything that is impossible in the real world can be made possible.
Cameron, who had just gotten off the plane, learned about the shooting cost and received a 5-minute sample.
Cameron immediately clicked on the sample.
He still uses an Apple phone.
After seeing the samples, he was completely shocked and excited.
Just seeing the samples made him very satisfied.
If only it could be so real in the virtual world.
What special effects are needed!
This strengthened Cameron's determination to promote cooperation between the two parties.
After arriving in the United States, Cameron didn't take a moment to rest and immediately went to the investors.
Cameron didn't say any nonsense.
Directly informed the investors of the samples provided by Changtian Technology as well as the quotation and conditions of Changtian Technology.
As soon as the investor sees the sample and quotation!
If you only need 100 million meters, what kind of bicycle do you need?
The decision was immediately made to cooperate with both parties.
Cameron went to Nagasawa without stopping, and the two parties held a signing ceremony in front of the global media.
at the signing ceremony.
Cameron seemed to be wearing the most standard Mao suit in order to cater to the Xia people.
He was in high spirits and in very good spirits.
Cameron said to the camera: "There is no doubt that this is a great era, a great era, and only with great technology can we create great movies and perfectly express the world envisioned by the creator."
"Here, I would like to thank Changtian Technology again, Yinghuo Ecological Company, Zemeng Equipment and the virtual world he created."
"It's because of the construction of these hardware and software that I can create an ideal world of Avatar."
"Zemeng wearable device is the most perfect device in the world!"
"I believe that the audience only needs to wait for a while, and our team will be able to produce a movie that everyone will be satisfied with."
As soon as this news came out, it shocked the global film and television industry, and even shocked the European media and European users who had rejected Zemeng equipment some time ago.
If Zemeng's equipment is good, why does the European Parliament refuse to put the product on shelves in Europe?
If Zemeng equipment is not good, why would film master Cameron choose Zemeng equipment and shoot movies in the virtual world!?
Cameron has devoted several years of energy to Avatar. This is definitely not just to make money but to complete the world in his heart.
Everyone still believes in the director’s character.
Everyone can also firmly believe that Cameron definitely did not choose Changtian Technology because of money.
The only explanation is that Cameron is completely impressed by Changtian Technology!
This made everyone feel uncomfortable.
Is Zemeng's equipment really so powerful? It made Cameron give up the top special effects team? He even gave up many beautiful scenic spots around the world as shooting scenes?
"Sir, do you mean that all scenes in Avatar will be shot in the virtual world?" The question was raised by a reporter from The Times.
The Times believes that its relationship with Cameron is relatively good. A few years ago, The Times even conducted an exclusive interview with Cameron, and the two sides had a pleasant conversation.
The reporter of "The Times" would never believe that Cameron would rely all his hard work in the past few years on Xia Guoren's equipment and virtual world. This is emotionally unacceptable no matter what.
How can Westerners depend on the Xia people's equipment for the success of their most proud works?
Absolutely unacceptable.
The reporter from "The Times" originally hoped that Cameron would answer issues such as shooting costs. After all, Xia Guoren's products are cheap, and if this explanation was given, everyone would be able to accept it.
So the reporter from The Times quickly asked, "Is it because of cost?"
Who knew that Cameron answered naturally: "Cost is one aspect, but it is not the most important reason. The reason why I chose Changtian Technology's Zemeng equipment and chose to shoot in the virtual world created by the Yinghuo ecosystem
The second part of Avatar, the most important thing is that this virtual world can express the perfect world that I set in my heart!"
Cameron's answer was not at all what The Times expected.
The BBC then asked: "Sir, according to what we have learned, the security of Changtian Technology equipment is questionable. Zemeng equipment has also caused the leakage of some commercial data. When you are filming in it, are you worried about the leakage of some of the actors' private information?"
, are you worried about the video being leaked in advance?”
As soon as this question was raised, many people at the scene looked unhappy.
This time, Cameron is announcing a great cooperation between the two parties and informing fans that the filming of Avatar 2 is about to begin a new journey. However, the media in Europe and the United States do not seem to miss any opportunity and introduce all topics to
Criticizing Changtian Technology’s equipment.
Cameron also heard something in the BBC reporter's words and kept changing the topic to business or politics.
He is not a polite person. The other party respects him, respects his movies, and makes some well-intentioned and correct suggestions, but he can still accept them.
But if the other party is sincerely doing harm, that's a different matter.
What does the BBC mean by this?
Is it because Cameron has accepted the benefits of Changtian Technology, so he doesn't even want his own movies and reputation?
Cameron is also a person with a temper. He directly said sarcastically: "You will definitely not be able to enjoy the movies I shot with the mobile phone in your hand."
Cameron added: "Human beings should unite and embrace new technologies and technologies, just like we put down our landlines and picked up our mobile phones. If you use wearable devices to watch my movie, I believe everyone will
Get an experience you will never forget!”
This statement made the BBC reporter shut up immediately.
Cameron has thrown away his iPhone and instead uses a Hanhai 3 mobile phone and Zemeng wearable devices.
After answering reporters' questions, Cameron announced that the entire Avatar team will film Avatar 2 in Changzezhou, Xia Kingdom, in the next few years, and the director team will have more time to perfect and ponder the script.
The most difficult special effects and scenes have been completed, making the movie richer in content. This is what a director should do.
Cameron and the investors behind Avatar will shoot the movie in the virtual world of Changtian Technology's Zemeng equipment. This will have a huge impact on public opinion in Europe and the United States.
Westerners pay attention to an elite society.
It is enough that 2% to 5% of the elite in a society can lead the society forward, and the rest of the people only need to follow behind without using their brains to think about the route.
Cameron is obviously the kind of elite recognized by the Western world.
An elite in the hearts of Westerners, a "hero" in everyone's eyes, actually took the lead in surrendering to the Xia people and took the lead in using the Xia people's equipment. How can this be accepted?
The Western media collectively collapsed.
The media, led by the BBC and The Times, directly criticized Cameron for taking money, giving up his movie dream, and were not optimistic about the box office performance of Avatar 2.
However, as the Chinese circles in Western countries are using Zemeng equipment, their work and services are becoming more and more efficient.
All these facts are before us.
Many wealthy Westerners are curious and excited about Zemeng equipment.
