Hollywood Domination Chapter 343: Avatar premiere

It is only now that she appears as a Na'vi. Is she really the heroine?

If there is no hidden avatar incarnation, this also means that Jennifer will not really appear in the movie in real life, but in the whole process. , Isn't it a bit too self-willed and depraved? You know, she is not a second- and third-tier actress who doesn't care about showing her face in order to cooperate with Cameron. She is Jennifer Jefferson...

In almost an instant, these thoughts flowed through Derek Ellie's mind. I have already been attracted by the Na'vi played by Jennifer-will it be the same as what those extreme people say, in fact, all Jennifer's work is just dubbing? No, he doesn't think so, as long as he really sees Neytiri on the big screen (most people already know the character name on imdb before), I believe no one will think so.

In the previous episodes, Derek has noticed the similarities between the avatar and the main body. He is sure that the actor plays the avatar through facial capture technology, and this design is quite clever, because it makes the avatar more human. , it is more convenient for the audience to substitute, and it can also make the expression of each avatar no longer a difficult point-this is completely consistent with the shooting method of "Beowulf", but "Beowulf" is played by real people... Earthlings, For the audience, there is a feeling of "but what's the use of this, why not let real people appear directly", and the use of "Avatar" on aliens is relatively more acceptable. However, the point he has been thinking about before this is ——Fortunately, the avatar does not have too complicated emotional changes, but unless the whole film completely avoids this, then the emotional drama will always be a problem. The emotional drama here is not about love: the protagonist's worldview changes, important decisions, and The previous foreshadowing (everyone guessed that the tough military faction should be the villain) should have been completed in the state of Avatar, and judging from the performance of Anthony Ryan's avatar, it seems that his avatar does not have certain micro-expressions. It's not that contagious - simply put, the alien's face makes an expression that viewers have to struggle to translate and understand, which certainly has a detrimental effect on the film's effectiveness.

If the acting skills can't be reflected, then Jennifer actually plays the role of a publicity stunt and mascot in this film. Her role can be played by anyone, as long as she is beautiful enough—— It's what Derek's been thinking about for the first forty minutes: the movie itself is great, just like "Nine" is actually a great movie, but Jennifer's role in it doesn't mean much to her. There is no sense of promotion, and it even feels like a hindrance, which is actually quite detrimental to the personal development of actors. It seems that after reaching the peak, this girl seems to be a little confused about the future...

However, such worries disappeared the moment Neytiri appeared on the stage, and all Derek has left in his heart is emotion—a quick glimpse in the trailer can't show Neytiri at all. Who would have believed that aliens could be so beautiful if they hadn't seen it on the big screen of the IMAX series?

Yes, although Jack's Avatar is also very handsome, as long as anyone who sees Neytiri, no one will doubt Cameron's preference for Jennifer—or her coffee position is the highest in the film. In fact, Neytiri's modeling is simply - you can tell that it is Jennifer Jefferson, her facial features are the closest to real people, especially her eyebrows and eyes, although the Na'vi The eyes are all yellow and orange, like cat's eyes, but from the shape of the eyebrows, the distance between the eyebrows, and the shape of the lips and cheeks, you can immediately think of Jennifer, and the width of her nose seems to have been adjusted to a certain extent, This makes Neytiri's face without the rough and primitive sense of the Na'vi - this primitive sense comes from the design of the nose bridge and wide flat forehead, which is reminiscent of primitive humans, and it is also the art detail that Derek just noticed Highlights - it is more refined, but it will not completely lose the appearance flavor. In a word, this modeling allows her to combine the beauty of earth people and Na'vi people. Of course, it is not as good as real people. The taste is a bit strange, but it also has its own own unique charm.

"This is an alien beauty in the true sense." Todd beside him seems to be talking to himself, "Is it the first in the history of science fiction films? Not just dyeing people, or in some Changes in insignificant organs... She is not a beauty concept that is instilled into the audience, 'I am an alien, just weirdly looks almost like the earth', but a real alien woman, isn't it ? An alien woman who just fits the aesthetics of human beings..."

Looking at Neytiri's slender figure and long legs, the visual feedback brought a strong sense of pleasure, as if his eyes tasted a new flavor of ice cream, Derek nodded, reservedly no Talking too much about this point, he briefly said, "The key point is her acting skills."

"So, this is the two-time Oscar queen..." Todd did not deny this, but said with emotion, "As soon as she appeared, everyone's acting skills suddenly became terrible."

This is the truth. Before that, Derek had no objection to the performances of Anthony and others, and even secretly praised the avatars for their agility. In his opinion, this is infinitely close to real life. The translation issues needed to be dealt with, but when Neytiri stared at Jake in the firelight, then snatched the torch and stomped it into the water, it was her expression that really reinterpreted the acting - Neytiri has some Na'vi little moves , she looks cold and wild, but her emotions are still perfectly conveyed to the audience through the movement of the eyeballs, the retraction of the pupils and the tilting of the nose: Neytiri is somewhat interested in Jack, but there is no doubt, in general Speaking of it, she was still very wary, and she was not even very confident about her coming forward to save Jack.

So, what made her rush out to save people? The audience's thoughts were immediately led to this question, and when Jack met her eyes, the unnatural pause in the atmosphere seemed to say everything: it seemed that there was bound to be a love between the two, of course. Everyone can guess this before coming to the movie theater, but at this moment, in this exchange of eyes, in Jack's obvious surprise, interest and curiosity, and Neytiri's wariness, disgust and self-doubt, the audience can really feel it. The breeding of chemical reactions, they no longer passively accept this setting, but actively discovered this design and discovered their chemical reactions...

"It can't be said that she sets off everyone badly," Derek said fairly-at least Sigourney Weaver has played very well in this commercial film, "Don't forget, they are CGI images, every expression is money, supporting actors don’t need to have too many micro-expressions, that’s a waste of money.”

"It's as if she didn't overwhelm the scene in the live-action movie..." Todd muttered, and now he is more like a fan of Jennifer, "but this scene is really done. Very good...Anthony was also brought into the play by her."

"And that's why she's a queen," Derek said absently, watching the conversation between Jack and Neytiri—Jake pestering Neytiri, and Neytiri acting cold, The two walked into the jungle while chatting, and the beautiful scenery along the way was dreamlike and beautiful. "Not only can she act, but she can also make the director highlight her plays..."

Plankton like fluorescent jellyfish approached Jack from the air. In Neytiri's wide-eyed eyes, the camera zoomed upwards. The scene of being gradually surrounded by jellyfish in the sound made the audience sigh again. Neither Derek nor Todd continued. Like the others, they have long been intoxicated by this ocean of visual wonders Hit...

Same as "Titanic", James Cameron is not a guy who will scare the plot. His characteristic is to make commercial movies to the extreme, even if you can guess the next step of the plot Will also be involved in it, following the emotions of the protagonist, the plot of "Avatar" is actually quite simple, with a reckless and violent personality, but Jack, who has a kind nature, agreed to act as an internal agent of the military for the reward promised by the military. , mastering the actions of the scientific research team, but in contact with Neytiri, he gradually discovered the truth that the Na'vi people are hostile to the people on Earth: the ore mined by the people on Earth is the source of life on Pandora. Big crisis, and the tree of life is the externalization of the consciousness of Pandora planet, it chose Jack, precisely because Jack is the one who has kindness and ability to solve their difficulties, or it realized by instinct that Jack is Pandora savior.

Although the Na'vi people are a primitive tribe, in Pandora, Jack felt the purity and beauty that the earth world where the jungle preys on the weak does not have. Makes people dizzy, but also moved by Neytiri's telling and pleading, and the progress of Jack's relationship with her, it's a pity that this movie doesn't have the touching love story of "Titanic", so it's not that Straightforward, but the dazzling special effects make up for it perfectly. ——At the last moment, Jack, who had been thinking about the future, finally made up his mind. He knew that his chances were slim, and he could win everything by standing on the side of humans, while standing on the side of the Na'vi could only lead to self-destruction. Li's conversation finally helped him make up his mind: after the two of them rode the wind and soared in the sky on a big bird, Neytiri asked about the earth and why Jack came to Pandora, and Jack She also told her own story, telling her why she lost her legs.

"I can only blame myself," he said, "on the edge of a collapsing building after an explosion—you know the explosion? Boom, boom, it's like the sound of those carts mining ore, Stones would crumble, houses would fall - we were supposed to evacuate, but I saw the back of a kid standing there like he didn't know the crisis was coming - I ran over and realized it was a A chair, just a coat on the back of the chair—"

"What's a chair?" Neytiri asked, blinking quickly and turning her ear to Jack, looking very curious.

Amidst the laughter of the audience, Neytiri finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and Jack also said with a self-deprecating, "Seriously, how likely is it? A child standing in a station has already been evacuated." In an old building? There is only a one in ten thousand possibility—"

"But you can't let go of this one-in-a-million possibility," Neytiri's expression softened, she pressed Jack's hand, and said in accented English, "Jack Sally, you A great man."

After such a foreshadowing, Jack's choice became reasonable. He stood on the top of the cliff, ready to conquer the king bird that had never been conquered before. As I said, I have never been a great person, I just——as Neytiri said, I can't let go of this one-ten-thousandth possibility.”

Among the heroic music, Jack jumped off the sky, and the final battle started vigorously. At this moment, the hearts of the audience began to lift-no one knew that Carme Will Ron choose to kill one, like he did in Titanic. This suspense also accompanied them through the final 20 minutes of a jaw-dropping, special effects-burning, and extremely well-crafted battle, and in the end-fortunately, both Jack and Neytiri survived, but it was the second male No. became the great figure who sacrificed himself and fulfilled the sensational cause of the movie—the Na'vi finally won the victory and expelled the earthlings, and Jack also completely converted into a Na'vi, immigrated to the planet Pandora, and abandoned his own life. Ball membership'...

When the avatar's eyes suddenly opened, and the yellow and orange eyes occupied the screen, the background music suddenly changed, the screen went black, and the film ended. For a moment, the movie theater was still silent, and no one spoke, but soon, it wasn't just who started, the whole movie hall burst into warm and deafening applause, even a reserved British gentleman like Derek He couldn't help puffing up his palms vigorously—those reporters who were more enthusiastic had already either whistled or shouted to express their appreciation.

"James, you did a great job!"

"Great movie!"

"You did it, you did it!"

It has been nearly three years since the official project was approved in 2006, and it has cost nearly 400 million US dollars to create this super movie. Meet the audience. Judging from the reaction of the theater, "Avatar" has indeed completely conquered the hearts of the audience, allowing them to reverse their previous unfavorable views and give unreserved praise to the film!
