On January 4, 2010, in front of major cinemas in China, a long line of ticket purchases was lined up.
Someone next to the team asked: “It’s all sold out, what team are you still in?” Someone answered: “Buy the day after tomorrow! Don’t line up, the day after tomorrow’s tickets are gone!”
There has never been a Hollywood movie that can make such a big splash in China: the day of the premiere in the morning, the national box office broke 4 million yuan, the first day the box office broke 100 million. Movie theaters in many places are full at 7:30 in the morning and 1:30 in the morning. Of course, everyone knows this movie, it is called “Avatar”.
So far, this movie has maintained the box office champion position since the invention of the “movie” thing: $ 2,782.3 million at the global box office. This movie also broke the box office record of another film-the world record box office record of 2.854 billion US dollars that the film called “Titanic” was once considered unbreakable.

But he never gave up on one thing: go to the University of Southern California’s Film Archive (Canadian University is the sacred place of science fiction movies) Self-taught movie special effects technology.
According to Cameron’s own memories: “I just sat and read the book, if I allowed copying, I would make copies; otherwise I would take notes.” Then in 1977, Cameron saw a movie, that film The film changed the fate of many people, including him-“Star Wars” directed by George Lucas.

At the time, countless people around the world watched in the cinema, but Cameron felt a little frustrated-he felt that all the stories and scenes he imagined were similar to Star Wars, but Lu Cass has filmed everything.
So Cameron decided to quit his job as a truck driver and become a real filmmaker. As a young man who started writing science fiction at the age of 12, Cameron decided to make his own science fiction movie. I do n’t know if his dream is moving or his technology is perfect. Anyway, Cameron convinced a group of local dentists to invest $ 20,000 to make a 12-minute sci-fi movie clip between an alien robot and a woman who manipulates a lot of skeletons Fighting scene.
According to Cameron’s wishful thinking: With this snippet, Ken
