The explosion filming started soon. The whole snow mountain castle trembled first, and then an orange-red fireball rose from the base of the snow mountain castle.
The snow around it vaporized into white mist due to the high temperature, and then the castle began to collapse. The fall of the highest tower announced that the scene was completed in one go.
This scene was strictly calculated and planned in advance, so there was not a single mistake. Because there was no chance to do it again, if you wanted to reshoot it, you would have to use a miniature model and a green screen.
Fortunately, Gilbert Jr. was very satisfied with the effect of the explosion shot, and he also captured the avalanche scene he wanted.
After the filming was finished, Gilbert Jr. gave the crew three days off to let them have a good rest. At the same time, he also received a request from James Cameron to attend the premiere of "Avatar".
As soon as I returned to Los Angeles, the news that James Cameron's blockbuster "Avatar" was about to be released had spread across the United States and even the world.
The total investment of "Avatar" is as high as 5 million US dollars. Gilbert Jr. participated in the investment in the name of Fruit Company and has nothing to do with Melon Studios.
As the investor and producer of the film, Gilbert Jr. is naturally the focus of media attention.
He told the Los Angeles Times: "This will be a landmark film. From this moment on, Avatar divides the history of Hollywood into two parts."
In fact, when this project was being promoted, there were always various voices of doubt. Even now that it is about to be released, there are still constant doubts from the outside world.
The reason is simple: the investment is too large.
Even the combined names of two great directors, James Cameron and Gilbert Jr., could not suppress such voices of doubt, which are showing a tendency to intensify.
In order to dispel the audience's doubts and let the audience see what 3D movies are, the distributor th Century Fox adopted unconventional promotional methods.
A week before the release, 700th Century Fox used its extensive channels to contact more than 3 IMAX and 20D cinemas in North America and around the world to play a -minute clip of "Avatar" for free.
The high ticket prices for 3D movies and the lack of 3D movies are the main reasons for audience doubts.
However, when the free 20-minute clip was shown to the audience, everyone was shocked. This movie, which requires 3D glasses to watch, is so amazing.
If you look at it from the perspective of someone who has experienced 3D blockbusters in the past, the 3D effects of "Avatar" are not that outstanding, but in this era, it is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
People who watched the 20-minute clip came back with excited and passionate comments online.
"You must go to a 3D cinema to watch this movie. The effect is amazing."
"It's an unparalleled experience. I understand what Gilbert Jr. said when he said Avatar changed the history of Hollywood."
"Shocking, I can only say it's shocking. This is just a 20-minute clip, and there is a lot more to the film. If you go to a 2D theater to watch this movie, I can only say that you will miss the best effect."
In fact, it is not only North American movie fans who are looking forward to this. North America has a certain understanding of 3D after all, and there have been many experimental 3D short films in recent years.
Even Robert Zemisky made a 3D movie called The Polar Express.
But these shorts, and even "The Polar Express," are far inferior to the 20-minute clip shown in "Avatar."
Even the well-informed North American audiences are like this, not to mention those overseas audiences who don't even know what 3D movies are. Seeing this clip in a 3D cinema is no less than the feeling of watching a small movie for the first time.
I was excited and thrilled, and I couldn't wait to see this movie in theaters.
Gilbert Jr. was not at all surprised by the huge response to this 20-minute clip. In the face of this epoch-making film, all the previous doubts seemed so ridiculous.
20th Century Fox’s promotional strategy was undoubtedly successful, and other than that, the film was promoted in a normal manner.
The promotion on the Internet is also not to be ignored. "Avatar" has an official website, which contains an introduction to the planet Pandora.
For example, where in the universe it is, how far away from the earth it is, the size and mass of the planet. Then it introduces the various species in it, the indigenous Na'vi, etc. The content is very detailed, just like an encyclopedia of Pandora.
事实上，根据詹姆斯·卡梅隆的规划，他计划拍摄《阿凡达1、2、3、4、5、6……》那么部。
Therefore, we have already set up the background, expanded the world view, and made plans for the next step.
But Gilbert Jr. is very skeptical. At the speed James Cameron is going, it will be a question whether these three, four, five, or six films can be released by the time he dies.
But it doesn’t matter. No matter what, the "Avatar" project will undoubtedly make all investors earn a fortune.
When the official website of Avatar was first established, the traffic of the website increased greatly, with more than 7 million page views per day. This was enough to prove the popularity of the film, and almost everyone believed that this film was extraordinary.
On December 16th, at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, it was a sunny day, no heavy rain, and no fire.
The premiere of "Avatar" was held here. It was crowded and lively. Hundreds of Hollywood stars attended the event, making it like the Oscars ceremony.
However, these stars, like ordinary audiences, all want to see the real "Avatar".
Gilbert Jr. and Leo DiCaprio attended the premiere together and were interviewed.
Gilbert Jr. promoted the film: "Believe me, this is a movie that no one can miss. If you miss this movie, you will miss the new era."
Leo's expression was very exaggerated, and he did not forget to promote the movie he starred in: "I saw a 20-minute clip, and it was just like when I first saw the script of Inception, it was amazing."
Little Gilbert secretly gave Leo a thumbs up, this guy knows how to hype and attract media attention.
When we walked into the VIP lounge, James Cameron had been waiting for little Gilbert for a long time.
The movie is about to be released, but James Cameron seems to be very relaxed and does not feel nervous as before the release.
"Little Gilbert, we're going to make history," said James Cameron.
"Of course, we're going to change Hollywood," Gilbert Jr. agreed.
In fact, James Cameron is facing a lot of pressure, after all, the investment in "Avatar" is too huge.
If this movie fails, the investment will lose money, but James Cameron will lose more than just money...
Before the film was released, many people expressed their pessimism in various ways, but neither James Cameron nor Gilbert Jr. wavered in their confidence.
It seems that even Gilbert Jr. has more confidence than James Cameron.
"Let's go, let's embrace the glory of tonight together." James Cameron invited.
"You should go first..."
"Please..."
"Okay, I'll be welcome then."
The two walked into the main hall of the Hollywood Chinese Theater together. It had long been converted into an IMAX theater by IMAX Corporation to provide a great experience for tonight's premiere.
From here, Avatar begins his journey to conquer the world. (End of this chapter)
