People are consuming more short videos than ever before, will this affect creators?
Cadao also responded positively: People do like to watch short videos nowadays, but at the same time people’s demand for long content such as movies has also increased.Social media sharing is very primate behavior, but watching movies is a deeper connection, and people can enjoy both.
Cameron also mentioned the knowledge of “water” in “Avatar 2”, as well as the secret behind the scenes of the Pandora world-the origin of the Na’vi people, language, family structure, gods they believe in, and so on. He also sent an invitation to director Lu Yang at the end: If you have any technical curiosity, or want to know what we are doing, welcome to take a look on the set after we start work!
