Millennium director

To be honest, James Cameron is also one of the "old men" in his own words.

James Cameron, born in 1954, is 56 years old this year, over fifty.

But he is indeed a pioneer who is very receptive to new technologies and even actively explores new technologies to reform the film industry.

In Wu Yuan's opinion, there are only two top directors in North America and only one in China who are so brave to try new technologies and explore new tricks.

The ones in North America are naturally Cameron and Spielberg, while those in China are Zhang Yimou.

Although Spielberg's later film "Ready Player One" did not make any technical innovations, it also tried a new subject in terms of subject matter. It took the virtual game world as the theme, and almost the entire story of the film took place in the virtual world. Among them, the completely gamified world is indeed novel.

Zhang Yimou is also an old-fashioned person. From the 2000s, he actively tried to explore commercial blockbusters, and later actively tried to explore the IMAX 3D fantasy and magic-themed movie "The Great Wall". Before Wu Yuan woke up, he heard that he wanted to be a League of Legends electronics player. Competitive game TV series.

Both of these are top directors who are very daring to try new things.

Apart from them, domestic directors such as Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, and Wang Jiawei, as well as foreign directors such as Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, and George Lucas, are very conservative.

Even in 2020, many people are still stubbornly holding on to film and don't even accept digital cameras, let alone 3D movies.

(To shoot 3D movies, if it is the native version, you must use a digital 3D camera to shoot. You can only shoot IMAX 2D movies with a film camera, and then convert 2D to 3D. The effect is not as good as native 3D.)

Like Quentin and Nolan, they just don't like special effects technology, and they hate 3D movies even more. They only make movies shot on 2D film.

There is no distinction between the progressives who actively embrace new things and the conservatives who are conservative and seek stability. There is no difference between their ideals or their right and wrong. They can only say that their ideas and positions are different.

But as a director born in the 1980s, Wu Yuan certainly prefers new technologies and new things, and he is also very willing to promote innovations in film production methods.

Therefore, the meeting between him and James Cameron was very harmonious.

Both of them have high regard for IMAX 3D technology. They both believe that this technology will become the mainstream of science fiction and fantasy movies in the future, and they are both willing to promote the vigorous development of this technology.

Although they were at the Oscars ceremony, the two of them didn't care about other people at all. They chatted a lot together and shared a lot of their views on the development of film technology in the next five or ten years.

We talked even more, and Wu Yuan finally felt what it means to be a top director.

Without any future memory or knowledge of future development, James Cameron has almost deduced the development of the film industry in the next ten years.

He not only believes that China's film industry will enter a period of explosive development, but also understands that the emergence of IMAX 3D movies will usher in a wave of favorable development for established superhero science fiction film production companies such as Marvel and DC.

He can even predict that in the next ten years, at least in the field of 3D special effects blockbusters, Marvel and DC will definitely become the rulers.

This can be seen from the huge sales of special effects movies such as "Iron Man" and "Transformers" in the past two years.

There is nothing strange about these things in Wu Yuan's eyes. This is because he has experienced them before and has a foundation of memories for future generations.

But at the crossroads of the world's film industry in 2009-2010, not many people can see this clearly.

It is not surprising to see that China's film market will usher in a big explosion. After the 2008 Olympic Games, anyone with a discerning eye can see that China is about to take off in an all-round way.

But it would be awesome to see that the next ten or twenty years will be the era of superhero special effects films like Marvel and DC.

At least most of the top six Hollywood elites haven't noticed it yet.

Marvel is also facing bankruptcy and is about to be acquired by bankruptcy.

DC has been on a losing streak. Apart from Nolan's version of "Batman," there has been no other successful superhero movie for more than ten years.

"Green Lantern", which Wu Yuan was asked to take over before, was also a big hit.

Under such circumstances, Cameron can still predict that these two companies will take off, which is indeed amazing.

Wu Yuan gave Cameron a thumbs up with admiration: "James, I think so too."

"Haha." Perhaps it was really rare for someone to agree with this view. James was very happy with Wu Yuan's exclamation and patted his shoulder cheerfully: "Daniel, the future belongs to young directors like you."

"Although I brought IMAX 3D to world cinema, I am just a pioneer. I alone cannot carry forward this film type."

"I sincerely hope that your new movie will be a big hit around the world, "Interstellar," right? I will definitely go to the cinema to enjoy it!"

"Thank you." Wu Yuan smiled reservedly. He was also very confident in himself.

"Okay, the award ceremony is about to begin. Let's take our seats first." Looking at the staff in the distance who were signaling that the ceremony was about to begin, James finally nodded to Wu Yuan and led the creators of "Avatar" Went to their seat and sat down.

Speaking of which, the glory of "Avatar" belongs only to Cameron. All the actors who starred in this movie failed to gain anything from "Avatar".

Sam Worthington, the male protagonist, is much worse than Depp.

After all, you can't expect audiences to be interested in a blue-skinned alien.

However, the "Avatar" series is expected to be made into five parts, and Sam Worthington can be regarded as getting an iron job. Anyway, Wu Yuan has not seen the subsequent sequels before waking up from the dream.

It is estimated that James Cameron will be busy with this series for the rest of his life.

"Let's go, let's take our seats." Wu Yuan took Liu Yifei's little hand and said to Gong Li and Wang Xueqi.

Compared to Wu Yuan who was at home at the Oscar ceremony, although Gong Li is well-known in North America, she is relatively ignored among all the invited guests, and few people talk to her.

Wang Xueqi was even worse, completely reduced to a spectator.

Even the two of them have not received as much attention as Liu Yifei. After all, Liu Yifei is Wu Yuan's real girlfriend. In addition, her music and movies have made her famous in North America, so she is quite popular.

But Wang Xueqi and Gong Li are satisfied enough. It's great to be able to attend the Oscars.

After all, Oscar has gradually become a bit deified in China in recent years.

"I don't know who will win the prize tonight and enjoy the glory, and who will regret and leave the show." Sitting in the seat belonging to "Gravity", Wu Yuan looked around at the other invited crew members and sighed. .

"Brother, the award ceremony has begun!" Liu Yifei pulled his sleeve.

This year's Oscar hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin have already appeared on the stage.

Amid cheers and applause, the 82nd Academy Awards ceremony officially began. (End of chapter)
