Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 753: Polar Express

? "My main purpose is naturally to use IMAX's technology to make better movies!"

On the plane to Paris, Charlotte explained her plan to Charlize and Alexis.

At present, most of the indoor scenes of "Inception" have been filmed, and Charlotte took the crew to Paris to film the location.

Among them, he included the extremely classic scene in his original time and space——

Rewinding Paris.

"Let's take the "Rewinding Paris" we plan to shoot!"

Charlotte gave an example,

"If you use the IMAX technology to shoot with a larger and deeper picture and more details to accommodate, then when the streets of Paris are rolled upside down on the super large screen, the audience will definitely feel a sense of grandeur and this feeling. It’s impossible to fully appreciate it on an ordinary movie screen."

"And if you use 3D technology to shoot, when the Paris on the big screen begins to roll, the audience will have a kind of rolling Paris streets getting closer and closer, and finally they will hit their own sense of reality-this It feels that it is very beneficial for the audience to bring the story into the story, not to mention the exaggerated visual experience."

At this point, Charlotte paused.

He picked up a bottle of pure water provided on the plane and drank it before continuing.

"In my opinion, IMAX technology and 3D technology will be the focus of the future film technology revolution!"

"These two technologies can strengthen the special effects scenes in commercial production to an extent that we can hardly imagine now!!"

"And this is exactly why I managed to take the controlling stake in IMAX several years ago--"

"This company has mastered the IMAX technology, and the level of research on 3D technology is quite good. What I need to do is to guide their technical advantages to the film field after mastering them."

"Just like you did before shooting "Sherlock Holmes"!?"

Charlize asked thoughtfully.

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded.

"The success of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" has made Hollywood production companies notice the help of IMAX technology for movies. This super-large screen technology is slowly being accepted and promoted by the film industry-so this time, "Inception" ", I want to push it again!"

"Do I still use IMAX technology?"

Alexis asked.

"certainly."

Charlotte smiled.

"Actually, in the previous shooting, we have used IMAX cameras in many places. You should have noticed too?"

Seeing the two women nodding their heads, Charlotte continued.

"However, what can really make the most of IMAX technology is the grand location like "Reversed Paris"—the last time in "Detective Sherlock Holmes", the real IMAX lens was actually only Ten minutes, this time, I plan to use it for more than half an hour."

"What about 3D technology?"

Charlize was a little excited and honest,

"I think you talked to IMAX president Jelock for a long time about the 3D technology you plan to use in Inception?"

"Yes, nor is it."

Charlotte smiled bitterly.

"The current development of 3D technology is still somewhat unsatisfactory——"

He shook his head, recalling that it was the end of 2009 to the beginning of 2010 that "Avatar" caused the 3D movie boom in the original time and space, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"With the current 3D technology, it's okay to make an animated movie, but if it's a live-action movie, it will be more difficult. At least, it can't achieve the effect I want."

"But you didn't mean—"

"I plan to use some 3D technologies in Inception!?"

Charlotte smiled and nodded.

"That's correct. However, I don't intend to make "Inception" a full 3D movie-I personally prefer to experiment with others, but I don't like to be a guinea pig myself."

"Little White Mouse!?"

"The great director Robert Zemigis intends to combine IMAX technology and 3D technology, and use motion capture technology to shoot a full CGI animated film "Polar Express"."

Charlotte casually confided in a news that is not too public in Hollywood.

"For this reason, he and Warner, who invested in this movie, have specifically asked me for help. After all, the best Hollywood motion capture technology is currently our Ghost Party studio, and IMAX is also in mine. Flag."

"...So, you plan to let the director of the "Back to the Future" series be your pathfinder?"

Charlize couldn't help giving Charlotte a blank look.

——In the 1980s, Robert Zemigis directed the "Back to the Future" series.

Charlize liked this series very much, and indirectly also had a good impression of the director of the film, so he asked Charlotte,

"Do you think there is great hope for the success of this movie?"

"Half and half!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"Robert Zemigis, as the director who won the Oscar statuette, has some level. He is also a technical madman. This time he specially invited Tom Hank, who worked with him in "Forrest Gump". Slay dubbed the protagonist and captured the action. Tom Hanks’ box office appeal needless to say, it is said that these are all elements of success..."

"but?"

Charlize asked directly,

"From what I know about you, there must be a "but" behind it, right?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded.

"But-the current special effects technology or 3D technology is not particularly ideal. In particular, the script of "Polar Express" is good, but it is too childlike-this is Spielberg's style!"

"Spielberg is an evergreen tree in Hollywood director circles, right?"

Alexis asked puzzledly.

"Robert Zemigis has worked with him several times, and it can even be said that he was picked up by him. It is normal to have his style-is his style bad?"

"It's not bad!"

Charlotte organized the language before continuing,

"It's just that Spielberg's style has not been as popular in recent years-it probably has something to do with the changes in the tastes of the new generation of audiences."

"Do you think the audience would not like it!?"

"I don't like it."

Charlotte shook her head.

"However, if the audience is not particularly fond of this style, it will be easier for them to notice some of the shortcomings of the film."

"Defects caused by those technical problems!?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded and said,

"There is also the problem of the relatively infancy of the movie script itself-these are all elements of failure~www.readwn.com~ so I said that the probability of success and failure is half."

"But regardless of whether Robert Zemighis's "Polar Express" is a success or a failure, it is a success for you to accumulate 3D and special effects technology, right?"

Charlize smiled bitterly.

"That's why you are talking about "guinea pigs"..."

"Yes!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"Going forward and succeeding in succession-isn't the technological level of the Hollywood film industry accumulating in this way?"

"..."

Charlotte's words are quite a bit of "the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life", but this makes Charlize speechless.

——Because he is right!
