Vol 2 Chapter 732: Epoch-making film

"Bring the packaging service to Duke?"
Turning his head, Leonardo looked at Inno Martin very seriously, "Are you sure I can do this?"
"From your relationship..." Ino Martin said of course, "It shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Ten years ago, Leonardo would say some stupid things and do some stupid things, but now he will not. In his current position, there are countless people who want to calculate him. He never fully believes it. Others, especially brokers!
"Eno," Leonardo DiCaprio said, turning his head, looking at Barr Lefari in the sea, "Do you think I was the simple fool ten years ago?"
"Leo..."
Ino Martin wanted to say something, but Leonardo waved and interrupted him, "Before I turned down Nancy Josephson’s invitation and didn’t leave caa. It’s because you have done a good job in the past few years. I think it’s too simple."
"I didn't mean anything else." Ino Martin defended himself.
"If I do what you say and Duke agrees, you will of course have no other meaning. The packaging service can be brought into Duke Rosenberg's crew. It is the same for you and Caa. The pen has a groundbreaking business."
Although there is no idea of ​​hopping to another job until now, Leonardo still has to warn his agent. He also has such confidence. In his identity and status, caa is only a server.
"What if I fail?" Leonardo said coldly, "Have you ever thought that this will affect my relationship with Duke?"
Ino Martin was silent, and Leonardo DiCaprio clearly saw through his intentions.
"Duke doesn't like packaging services, nor does he like some messy things to interfere with his crew," Leonardo said directly regardless of the face of his agent. "He refused to return to caa because of this."
He retracted his gaze, rubbed his fingers, and continued, "I promoted caa's packaging service to Duke. It will definitely arouse his disgust and cause the relationship between me and him to take a turn for the worse. So Nancy Josephson of icm dug me up The possibilities will be infinitely smaller, and I will definitely rely more on you and caa, right?"
After a cold snort, Leonardo solemnly said to Inno Martin, "I said that I have no intention of leaving caa for the time being! It's hard for me not to have this idea if you continue to do this kind of thing."
"Sorry!"
This is caa's ace customer, a resource that is available in Hollywood and even the whole world. Ino Martin can only slightly lower his head. Said, "I'm sorry, Leo."
"this is the last time!"
After warning his agent, Leonardo said again, "I'll take Duke's project, remember to notify him."
After speaking, he lay down on the beach chair and stopped looking at Ino Martin.
"I obviously underestimated Leonardo..."
Sighed inwardly. Ino Martin also stopped staying, turned and left the beach.
After Barr Lefari came back. Leonardo walked out of the parasol with her and returned to the villa rented by the sea. The two of them received a call from Tina Fei just after taking a shower.
"Hi, Tina." Leonardo said into the microphone. "This role must be mine. No one can grab it. Also, isn't Duke on vacation? Tell him, I'm waiting for him in Spain. What? He left North America and went to New Zealand? Well, when he comes back from New Zealand. I will go to Malibu to find him to go to sea."
Just like Leonardo DiCaprio heard, Duke stayed in New York for a few days, and then flew to Wellington with Scarlett. The destination was the studio of Weta Studios. Because of the news from Fox in the 20th century, James Cameron’s masterpiece has completed its preliminary version.
In the small theater inside the Weta Studio, Duke, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, Richard Taylor, and representatives from investors such as Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox, each with a pair of 3D eyes , Sit here quietly, watching this masterpiece by James Cameron.
Duke has seen the previous work more than once, and now he sees many areas that are different, but the overall picture is still the planet of Pandora, and the visual effects can still brighten the eyes of the blind!
Although the film has not yet been completed, there are certain flaws in many places, but the viewing effect it brings is definitely shocking.
"Originally, I thought your "Transformers" had done the best in terms of visual effects..."
The film was over, and the 3d eyes were removed. Even though his heart was extremely biased towards Duke, Scarlett Johansson still whispered to him, "But after watching this "Avatar" I found out that the technology of "Transformers" is too backward. Up."
This is not an exaggeration. In Duke's opinion, this "Avatar" is absolutely unparalleled in terms of technology and visual effects.
James Cameron definitely deserves the title of pioneer of film technology.
"This is a cross-age movie!" Duke sighed.
"Avatar" can bring not only high box office and commercial revenue, but also the transformation of the entire film industry.
Even if some people criticize this film for nothing, it cannot be denied that this film, like "Titanic", changed the pattern of the entire world film industry.
Subsequently, Jamie Johnson from Warner Bros. and a CEO of Twentieth Century Fox gathered major investors, including Duke, in a conference room to discuss the promotion and distribution of the film. .
But Duke didn’t say much from start to finish. The people at Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox were more professional than him in this regard, and the "Avatar" propaganda budget was adequate, even though James Cameron only spent $230 million. For the entire project, Duke’s initiative has set aside a total of $300 million in publicity costs.
And in the publicity, in order to gain attention, it must be a 500 million dollar giant!
Just like Duke’s words when he promoted Fury Road, some of the things he said in the film’s promotion were untrue.
The visual shock of the film has given Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox enough confidence that the two companies will also maximize the integration of resources to promote "Avatar" on a global scale.
As one of the biggest investors in the film, Duke will of course fully support this.
After watching this small-scale screening of "Avatar", Duke was also relieved of the film. He and Scarlett did not stay in Wellington and rushed directly to Queenstown. Peter Jackson was carrying "Huo The "Bitman" crew was filmed here.
Due to the three-part continuous shooting, the shooting has been going on for nearly a year.
As the director of technology flow, Peter Jackson has also used a lot of new technologies, and has been shooting "The Hobbit" at 48 frames. Generally, the film is shot at 24 frames per second to increase the number of frames of the film, perhaps to obtain a smoother And the smooth 3D picture effect means, not only Peter Jackson, James Cameron is also promoting this technology.
"The picture looks absolutely sharp, and everything is more immersive. It makes the 3D effect smoother and clearer."
Hearing what Peter Jackson said, Duke looked at the clipped screen and put forward some of his own opinions, "It looks like a TV movie, the contrast is problematic, and the content of the screen looks either too bright or too dark. "
The development of film technology is always exciting, although it will be full of controversy during the period.
Duke did not interfere too much with Peter Jackson. After all, the 48-frame film copy is only released in a limited edition, and mainstream theaters will only show the traditional 24-frame version.
Leaving Queenstown, he and Scarlett flew back to North America, but did not go to New York or Los Angeles, but once again came to the desert of New Mexico. Duke did not forget that he was still a major shareholder of Marvel Comics and Marvel. The producer of the series, "Thor" is shooting here.
Compared to Iron Man Tony Stark and Captain America Steve Rogers, Thor’s reputation is much smaller, and at best he is considered a second-tier hero in Marvel comics, but "Iron Man" and "Captain America" Successive successes have allowed Marvel Pictures to build enough confidence, and the brand of Marvel movies has become more and more loud.
And for Duke's planned Avengers, filming such a movie is also necessary.
After all, the copyrights of Spider-Man and X-Men in the Avengers are not in the hands of Marvel Comics, and it is too difficult to take it back. You can only choose heroes with suitable popularity and abilities from other characters.
When Duke arrived, the crew had just entered the shooting stage. Although they were second-line heroes, thanks to the operation of Marvel, the film attracted many media and reporters.
In the casting of Thor, Marvel Pictures produced a series of news. Before the film was filmed, various gossips about Thor’s actors were flying in the air, Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum, and Daniel. Craig, Charlie Hannam, Tom Hiddleston, Alexander Skarsgard, Liam Hemsworth, and Joel Kinnerman all once played Thor. Candidate.
But according to Duke's opinion, the crew finally chose a humble little actor, Liam Hemsworth's brother Chris Hemsworth got this much-anticipated role.
Chris Hemsworth has a unique advantage in playing Thor, because he has worked as a construction worker in Australia and has rich experience in using hammers. And Thor's weapon happens to be the warhammer.
Of course, the heroine of the film will no longer be Natalie Portman.
The female characters in this kind of film don't need much acting skills at all, what they need is a sufficiently beautiful and appearance. An Australian actress who has no impression of Duke got the role of Jane Foster. (To be continued.)
