The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 119: To you it’s creation, to me it’s just copying (please subscribe)

James Cameron's image doesn't have much to do with the tyrant on the set. His beard, which has not been taken care of for a long time, spreads around his lips and cheeks. His blond hair mixed with white silk is combed into three-quarter parts, which makes him look somewhat elegant. .

"I didn't believe that anyone who had never read the script of "Avatar" would dare to say that he could help me complete the filming of "Avatar" faster, but if "Inception" really took less than two months, If you finish the filming, I think you may have a talent that is different from ordinary people."

He took out a script with hundreds of pages and a book hundreds of pages thick and handed it to Han Jiadong.

"This is the relevant information and script I prepared for the movie. You can take a look at it first. Also, have you brought the script of your new movie?"

"of course."

Han Jiadong took the script and book and handed over the script of "Interstellar".

Then the only sound in the room was the sound of paper being turned.

When Cameron finished reading the script of "Interstellar", Han Jiadong also closed the book.

"Another landmark film for science fiction."

Cameron first expressed his evaluation of "Interstellar" and then asked: "How could you think of making a movie like this?"

Although Han Jiadong didn't know why Nolan wanted to make this movie, what inspired him, and where the inspiration came from, the lessons he had learned in school in recent years were not in vain.

"I have always been interested in and loved science fiction movies, including George Lucas' "Star Wars" and Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey."

"This is a work that cannot be avoided when talking about science fiction movies." Cameron interjected.

Han Jiadong nodded: "Yes, I must have been only a few years old when I went to the cinema to watch "2001: A Space Odyssey"... You know, our place had never had your movie before, but it was retained like a touchstone. It stuck in my mind how movies and the screen could open up a world beyond imagination and allow the audience to immerse themselves in it."

"I was 14 years old when I saw it, and I was shocked. It was an important turning point in my life, both in terms of its grandeur and in terms of the fact that a movie is essentially an ultimate work of art in any sense. The facts shocked me.”

"Indeed, it was a masterpiece, and for us subsequent film creators, it is an unattainable benchmark."

"So your inspiration and ideas came from that movie?"

"You can say that I want to have a dialogue with 2001: A Space Odyssey. If there was no 2001: A Space Odyssey, there would definitely be no Interstellar."

"It's very interesting to say that "Interstellar" also has enough new things, but how do you express those things that are beyond reality? After all, with the current technology, we can't really achieve interstellar travel."

"I have to mention "2001: A Space Odyssey" again. It is a great work. It not only opened up our imagination, but also taught us something: omit! He will choose anything that can be expressed with skills. Not directly showing things like miniature photography, visual effects, and technology that he couldn’t achieve at the time.”

"Smartly avoid it."

“Yes, and in doing so, it created this simple, highly symbolic elliptical language that was just incredibly ahead of its time.”

……

After a simple conversation with Han Jiadong, Cameron finally believed that "Inception" was indeed written by the young and excessive young man in front of him.

I also believe that he can make "Interstellar" into an excellent work.

But for Avatar…

"How do you read the script and materials of "Avatar"?"

Cameron asked after finishing the topic of "Interstellar".

"I have already read the script, and only briefly flipped through the information."

"How? Have you changed your mind?"

Han Jiadong shook his head: "Now I want to present that novel world faster."

He looked expectant and confident. I do have confidence.

What is the most touching thing about this "Avatar" movie?
Obviously not the story of the founding of the United States.

It’s a novel world beyond people’s imagination!

What Cameron is doing now is creating such a world from scratch.

The difficulty can be imagined.

For this reason, he specially found a linguist to make up a language that did not exist.

He also asked zoologist and botanist to compile an encyclopedia for the non-existent planet.

He is so meticulous outside of the camera. You can imagine how diligently he strives for perfection during filming.

Every detail of every shot must be considered countless times, and countless pieces of material must be shot to select the best among the best.

In this way, the time will naturally not be short.

But Han Jiadong is different.

He has seen that world.

For Cameron, it is creation, but for him it is just copying, or restoring.

So after communicating with Cameron and briefly trying it out a few times, he won Cameron's recognition, and even respect.

Because under his description, Cameron discovered that the originally hazy world gradually became clear as if a mysterious veil had been lifted.

Stones floating in the air, covered with green vegetation;

Waterfalls from nowhere tumble down mountains of floating rocks;

The Avatar rides on flying beasts and shuttles between them...

Moreover, Cameron was surprised to find that Han Jiadong's efficiency in directing the filming crew was truly amazing.

Basically, I didn’t try too much, as if I already had the scene I wanted in my mind, and just let the actors perform in their own way against the green cloth background. A shot could only be shot a few times.

Instead of being like myself, I don't know exactly what I want, so I can only let the actors try over and over again until they are satisfied.

I was satisfied today and gave it to me. Maybe a few days or even months later, I had a better idea and asked the actors to shoot again.

When Han Jiadong combined the materials and added special effects to create the effect, Cameron was also surprised to find that the picture was really what he wanted.

In other words, the material Han Jiadong shot with this efficiency is really useful material!

If you can really maintain this efficiency, maybe the film that you expected to take another year to complete can be completed in two or three months?

And according to Han Jiadong's clear description, I am afraid that the post-production special effects can greatly shorten the time.

Even Cameron finds it difficult to remain calm when he thinks that the movie he has spent so many years on may be completed and released to the world within one or two years.

At this point, if anyone still dares to say that Han Jiadong is not allowed to stay, I am afraid that Cameron will be the first to refuse.
