The explosion shooting began soon, and the entire Snow Mountain Castle trembled first, and then an orange-red fireball rose from the base of the Snow Mountain Castle.
The snow around was vaporized into white mist due to the high temperature, and then the castle began to collapse, and the scene was completed as the highest spire fell.
This scene was strictly calculated and planned in advance, and there was no mistake at all. Because there is no chance to start over, if you want to reshoot, you have to use a miniature model and green screen to shoot.
Fortunately, Jibert Jr. was very satisfied with the effect of the explosion shot, and he also took the avalanche scene he wanted.
After the filming, Jibert Jr. gave the crew three days off to give the crew members a good rest. At the same time, he also received a request from James Cameron to attend the premiere of "Avatar".
As soon as he returned to Los Angeles, the news that James Cameron's super blockbuster "Avatar" will be released has spread throughout the United States and even the world.
The total investment of this "Avatar" is as high as 550 million US dollars. Gilbert Jr. participated in the investment in the name of the fruit company and has nothing to do with Cantaloupe Studio.
As the investor and producer of the film, Jibert Jr. is naturally also the target of media attention.
He said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times: "This will be an epoch-making film. From now on, Avatar has divided Hollywood history into two parts."
In fact, various doubts are indispensable when this project is being promoted. Even though it is about to be released, there are still constant doubts from the outside world.
The reason is very simple, the investment is too big.
Even the names of two major directors, James Cameron and Gibert Jr., cannot suppress this doubt and tend to be intensified.
In order to dispel the doubts of the audience and to let the audience see what a 3D movie is, the publisher 20th Century Fox has adopted unconventional promotional measures.
A week before its release, Twentieth Century Fox used extensive channels to connect more than 700 IMAX and 3D cinemas in North America and around the world to play 20 minutes of "Avatar" clips for free.
The excessive ticket prices of 3D movies and the lack of 3D movies are the main reasons for the audience's doubts.
However, when the free 20-minute clip was presented to the audience, everyone was shocked. This movie that requires wearing 3D glasses to watch is so amazing.
If we have experienced the baptism of 3D blockbusters in the past, the 3D effect of "Avatar" is not very outstanding, but it is simply a dimensionality reduction blow in this era.
People who have watched the 20-minute clip came back and commented excitedly online.
"Please go to the 3D cinema to watch this movie, the effect is amazing."
"The unparalleled experience, I understand what Gilbert Jr. said that Avatar changed Hollywood's history."
"Shocking, I can only say shocking. This is only a 20-minute clip, and the film has a lot of content. If you go to the 2D cinema to watch this movie, I can only miss the best effect."
In fact, not only North American movie fans are so expecting it, but North America has at least a certain concept of 3D, and there are many experimental 3D short films and so on in recent years.
Even Robert Zemiski made a film called "Polar Express", which is also a 3D film.
But these short films and even "Polar Express" are far inferior to the 20-minute clips shown in "Avatar".
This is true for North American audiences, let alone those overseas audiences who don’t even know anything about 3D movies. Seeing this clip in a 3D cinema is no less than the first time I saw a small movie.
Excited, and excited, and then I couldn't wait to see this movie in theaters.
Jibert Jr. was not surprised at all about the violent response caused by these twenty-minute clips. In the face of cross-age movies, all the previous doubts seem so ridiculous.
Twentieth Century Fox's promotional strategy has undoubtedly been successful, and in addition to this, the film is also promoted in a normal way.
The promotion on the Internet cannot be ignored. "Avatar" has an official website, which provides an introduction to the planet Pandora on the official website.
For example, where is the universe, how far away is from the earth, the size and mass of the planet. Then introduce the various species inside, Aboriginal beauties, etc. The content is very detailed, just like an encyclopedia of Pandora.
In fact, according to James Cameron's plan, he plans to film "Avatar 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...".
So we have already made a background setting, expanded our world outlook, and made plans for the next plan.
But Jibert Jr. was very suspicious. At the speed of James Cameron, it would be a question whether these three, four, five and six movies could be released until he died.
But it doesn't matter. No matter what, the project "Avatar" will undoubtedly make all investors profitable.
When the official website of "Avatar" was established, the website's visit traffic increased greatly, with more than 7 million views per day. This is enough to prove the popularity of the film, and almost everyone believes that this movie is not simple.
On December 16th, the Chinese Grand Theater in Los Angeles was sunny, without heavy rain or fire.
The premiere of "Avatar" was held here, with a crowd of people and a bustling atmosphere. Hundreds of Hollywood stars supported this place to highlight the Oscars.
However, these stars, like ordinary audiences, want to see the true appearance of "Avatar".
Jibert Jr. attended the premiere together and was interviewed.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Gilbert Jr. sang the movie: "Believe me, this is a movie that no one can miss. If you miss this movie, you miss the new era."
Little Lizi's expression was very exaggerated, and she did not forget to promote the movie she starred in: "I saw the 20-minute clip, just like the script I saw in "Inception", which is amazing."
Jibert gave Little Little Thumbs up secretly. This guy knows how to hype and attracts media attention.
Walking into the VIP lounge, James Cameron had been waiting for Gilbert Jr. for a long time.
The movie is about to be released, but James Cameron looks relaxed and does not feel nervous before the release.
"Gibert Jr., we will make history," said James Cameron.
"Of course, we will change Hollywood." Jibert Jr. agreed.
In fact, James Cameron is under a lot of pressure, after all, "Avatar" has invested too much.
If this movie fails, the investment loses money, and James Cameron loses more than money...
Before the release, many people expressed their disapproval through various methods, but neither James Cameron nor Gibert Jr. had shaken their confidence.
It seems that even Jibert Jr. has more confidence than James Cameron.
"Let's go, let's welcome tonight's glory together." James Cameron sent an invitation.
"You'd better ask..."
"Please..."
"Okay, then I'm not polite."
The two walked into the main hall of the Grand Grand Theater in Hollywood together, which had been transformed into an IMAX theater by IMAX, which would bring an excellent experience tonight's premiere.
From here on, "Avatar" begins its own journey of conquering the world. (This chapter ends)
