In 2009, the science fiction blockbuster avatar directed by James Cameron won a box office of $2.7 billion worldwide. Avatar 2 was originally planned to be released in December 2014, but the release date of the film was repeatedly postponed and finally set for 2018. Anyway, there was no news of the release of Avatar 2 until mark was blown through by a Samsung mobile phone.

However, there are many reports in this regard. In the report, James Cameron reviewed the shooting process of avatar 1 and said that he had prepared for the film for a long time at that time, and the subsequent films would be epic feats, which would take him eight years.

Kasen said that Avatar 2 will not be released in 2012, and there is no specific release time. Moreover, they are not only producing Avatar 2, but four sequels, "Avatar 2345". This is a huge project, and the difficulty is like building the Three Gorges dam.

After avatar 1 in 2009, there were originally two sequels, but in several years of preparation, the number of sequels has increased to four. The plan can not keep up with the change, and the time has been delayed for a long time, until now. Recently, avatar will launch a derivative theme area of Disneyland and cooperate with Ubisoft. It's really busy.

However, in order to keep the heat, this guy jumped out from time to time to boast: "the sequel will not hurt avatar, because there is no avatar before avatar." Cameron said: "terminator 1 and Terminator 2: Judgment Day are separated by seven years, and alien 1 and alien 2 are separated by seven years. Obviously, avatar 1 and Avatar 2 are separated by seven years The time span of Avatar 2 will be up to 10 years. "

On the issue of the time span of the first two avatars, James Cameron takes the two classic series of movies, terminator and alien, as an example. Obviously, he wants to show a problem - even if they are separated for many years, it will not affect the quality of the sequel, so we don't have to worry about it. Anyway, this guy pushes left and right. He can't get it without ten years.

The king of the world has a double crown, more arrogant and angry: "wait if you want to see, wait if you don't want to see."

For the film company 20th century fox is the same attitude: "don't want to wait, I'll find someone to take over!"

This is the rhythm that will kill popularity alive. Cameron can make money and kill popularity. Being a friend is OK, but being a partner is not cool.

Mark saw this point and resolutely refused to promote this technology. James Cameron and Peter Jackson, two guys who blow the horn on the plane, also approved 48fps technology. This technology is popular all over the world. That is just around the corner. Only mark knows how deep it is. Without the nod support of giant companies, everything is false, and the box office revenue of giant companies is shrinking day by day In this case, there is little interest in promoting new technologies.

Mark said so. Jackson had to agree. He could see that mark was not interested in promoting this technology. Jackson had no way to be hot. Fortunately, mark was not a stingy person. He was very in favor of shooting those super scenes with expensive imxa technology. Mm company had mastered a set of mature imxa Technology, which was used in iron man "Spider Man", "Transformers", "Dark Knight" and so on, the effect is amazing, not inferior to the high frame rate technology.

In order to avoid Mark's regret, Jackson once again stressed: "you said that when Avatar 2 produced with 48fps technology was released, it was when the Hobbit used 48fps technology."

Mark said: "no problem, you can write this one into the contract! If Avatar 2 is released, we can push it down and remake it."

Jackson said tentatively, "why do you think James will jump the ticket?"

Mark said, "there's a way? This guy has a lot of black history. When he's not on time, he'll fool others to rush forward, make a knife sharpener and sit behind him. If his avatar 2 can be delivered on time, I'll cut off the eggs and drink for you."

Jackson said, "only the aborigines in the virgin forest of South Island have this custom. I don't like it."

Mark said, "you don't believe me!"

Jackson said: "my original plan was to use red's HD digital camera for shooting. It needs special film and maintenance equipment and post special effects processing. Now I'll start over. I'll make a new plan, and the drama will change from two to three. This workload is very heavy."

Mark said, "I believe you will do well. It's not difficult for you. At the beginning, such simple conditions can make an excellent Lord of the rings trilogy. Now someone has equipment, but you won't shoot it?"

In the original version, following the fall of the Lord of the rings series, the prequel hobbit series has become a high-profile major production in the industry. According to a financial data of the Hobbit filmmaker when shooting in New Zealand, the production of this series has cost about US $745 million, which is an astronomical figure.

The initial estimated production cost of the Hobbit series is $560 million (the estimated time is before the completion of the final hobbit 3: Battle of the five armies). Now the actual costs of early shooting and digital special effects production far exceed the estimate, and it is not clear whether this data includes the expenses of film distribution and marketing promotion.

But overall, hobbit: the unexpected journey is not the most expensive film series in history. According to the well-known box office website mojo and Guinness World Records, the most expensive film is Pirates of the Caribbean 3: the end of the world, but it also makes him into the top five and become one of the most expensive films in film history.

However, the high cost returns considerable profits. Mojo estimates that the box office revenue of the first two films of the Hobbit series is nearly $2 billion, while the box office revenue of the Lord of the rings series has been less than $3 billion since 2001. This hobbit series is a blockbuster piled up in dollars.

However, mark believes that if the chicken threat 48fps technology is not used, the cost will not be so frightening. This high-definition technology is the selling point of the film's key publicity, but the audience does not buy it. Instead, they think it is "distortion". It can achieve a breakthrough of one billion. It all depends on the previous beer. With the inflation, his performance is not as good as the old trilogy more than ten years ago.

In view of this, mark will not bird any HD technology and stick to the road of one, which makes technology madman Peter very unhappy.

But mark is even more unhappy. You take me $700 million to make an experimental film. When I'm the wronged leader, I want to shoot Cameron first and want to deceive me into jumping into the pit. It's impossible. Making a film is not afraid of burning money, but there's no such way to burn money.

The agreement between him and Peter seemed to be a compromise, but in fact it blocked the road. Cameron could not make Avatar 2 in 2012, or even five or six years. At that time, the Hobbit had already been shot and released.

Several major Hollywood companies have their own preferences for the application of new technologies. Mm, Warner and Disney prefer imxa and 3D, while universal prefers 48fps HD technology because of its good relationship with Jackson and 20th Century Fox and Cameron, but this still needs the support of cinema companies. Imxa technology is fully supported and promoted by MM because it is ignored by mark, Take the lead.

Jackson's Vita digital is fond of 48fps HD technology. He used this technology locally when filming King Kong, so they tried their best to recommend it to mark, hoping to use this technology in the hobbit. I believe that with the big sale of films, this technology will become popular and become the standard configuration of blockbusters.

Who knows, mark didn't catch a cold at all. He insisted on not using this technology. Mark's refusal can be said to be a major setback in the promotion of 48fps technology.

Jackson couldn't understand why imxa technology is more expensive than 48fps technology, which is difficult to promote. He also gave imxa a share, but they just like and vigorously promote this technology.

But Mark's attitude is very firm. He can't control it until Cameron shoots Avatar 2.

Mark's departure quickly settled the dispute between Warner and MGM, and then went to New Zealand to persuade Jackson fat to join. This hobbit project officially entered the fast lane.

As early as 1969, Lianyi bought the film adaptation rights of the Hobbit and the Lord of the rings trilogy from the Tolkien Heritage Foundation managed by Tolkien's descendants. A few years later, Lianyi transferred the adaptation right of the Lord of the rings series to sol zaenz to make a film, and the animated version of the Lord of the rings was born in 1978. It is this animation that inspired young Peter Jackson to pay attention to Tolkien's works.

In the following years, Lianyi and sol zanz fell into a tangled copyright lawsuit. Finally, the two sides accepted the court mediation. Zanz had the film adaptation right of the Lord of the rings trilogy, while Lianyi held the film adaptation right of the hobbit.

In 1994, Peter Jackson made the film "angel of sin" for Harvey Weinstein's Miramax company, which was very popular. Therefore, Jackson took the opportunity to propose to adapt Tolkien's works into a film. The plan is to shoot a hobbit first. If the response is good, he will continue to shoot two "the Lord of the rings".

At that time, sol zaenz was struggling because of the weak box office of the British patient. Weinstein offered financial assistance in exchange for the adaptation right in the other party's hands. Seeing that the deal was about to be reached, Weinstein suddenly found that there was also a joint art. The most realistic Harvey Weinstein resolutely jumped out of this tangled "love triangle" and skipped the prequel The Hobbit, straight from the Lord of the rings trilogy.

Later, as everyone knows, Weinstein was too expensive to make the Lord of the rings trilogy. Instead, the new line took advantage of it, which has become the eternal pain in the hearts of the Weinstein brothers.
