Chapter 781: Is 80 million dollars a lot of investment in a play? (Page 1/1)

"This sequel will far surpass its predecessor, full of characters, profound themes, rich connotations, if the special effects are done well, this film will be an epoch-making sci-fi masterpiece." Almost at the same time as Schwarzenegger, James Cameron also received an invitation to shoot.

However, unlike Schwarzenegger's agent, who only has a synopsis, Cameron gets the full script.

Because of this script, Qiao Feng had extensive communication with Cameron when he wrote it.

For the card god, Qiao Feng is given great respect.

Although it was plagiarized from Kashen's work, Qiao Feng did not occupy the honor by himself, but pulled Cameron to write the script together.

One is out of respect for the card god, and the other is that many of the latest special effects and models will be used in this one, Qiao Feng needs Cameron to have an in-depth understanding from the screenwriting stage and have a shooting plan in advance, so that the shooting can be smoother.

After all, it's not quite the same as the first one, which was a script written by Cameron himself, so he's familiar with all the links and the effect he wants to achieve.

Qiao Feng gave respect, and Kashen also expressed great recognition and high evaluation of the story framework and details proposed by Qiao Feng.

Speaking of which, Qiao Feng can't help it, he wants to shoot Terminator 2, and he is afraid that Cameron doesn't have this idea yet, after asking Cameron to know that he really doesn't have a clear plan, Qiao Feng had to write the script himself.

You must know that Kashen is a super inkblot director, and when he takes the initiative to shoot, he will have to wait a year if he doesn't get it right.

Take the first Terminator as an example, according to Cameron himself, it was an idea that came in 1979.

In 1979, James Cameron was not yet called Kashen.

One day, when his career was at a low point, he had a dream - in the raging fire, a metal man came out, and his skin was burned, revealing a hideous steel face.

With this dream as a starting point, Cameron completed the script.

When the film was released in 1984, it grossed $90 million at a cost of $6 million, and fans and critics cheered.

The name of the movie is Terminator.

In five years, Kashen only wholeheartedly got such a script, a movie, and then became an instant hit.

Unlike other popular directors who work non-stop overtime to shoot more new films, Kashen only made two movies and wrote three scripts in six years, two of which were shot by him.

This span, not to mention Hong Kong, which makes several movies a year, is a very low-production director in Hollywood.

And now it's been another year since the abyss of Kashen's last work.

Terminator 2 is finally on the shooting schedule.

"Cameron's investment request for this play is $80 million, is this investment too big?" After Qiao Feng hung up Cameron's phone, Li Zhi on the side asked with some confusion and worry.

She thought that Terminator 2 could have thirty or forty million, at most more than the investment of 007 homicide license, and it would be skyrocketing.

Just then she felt that the investment was too big, and she wanted Qiao Feng to be cautious and cautious.

As a result, Cameron called and praised the script, and then put forward an investment request that far exceeded her expected investment amount.

Li Zhi listened well to the sidelines and choked to death.

This guy is too daring to ask for it.

Now that Hollywood has invested 30 or 40 million US dollars, that is a super big production, and an investment of 80 million US dollars, is Cameron going to make a movie that has never been seen before or since, and the box office kills all other films?

No, such an investment is too demanding.

Li Zhi felt that Cameron must be crazy, and he had to stop Qiao Feng.

Who knows, Qiao Feng smiled indifferently after listening to Lizhi's questioning, as if he didn't feel anything about Cameron's lion opening.

Of course, Qiao Feng didn't feel the investment of 80 million dollars.

Even if he is worth more than 20 billion US dollars, the investment of nearly 100 million US dollars is still not a small amount.

It's just that Qiao Feng believes in Cameron, just as he believes that with the advantage of the reborn, he will definitely stand on top of the world.

He was full of confidence.

Because, Cameron is the god of cards, and because this movie with an estimated investment of 80 million dollars is called Terminator 2.

Terminator 2 is one of Qiao Feng's most memorable Terminator series, and even the original space-time contact Terminator series began with this Terminator 2 Doomsday Trial.

At that time, Qiao Feng was stunned when he watched Terminator 2.

It's like a brief moment of deafness after an explosion, with only a buzzing sound.

Qiao Feng feels that this movie may have established the concept of American blockbusters for the first time in the history of many people's movie-watching.

At that time, people had not seen much of the world.

What is an American blockbuster?

It's the kind of film that can make you "it!" and "it!" and can't stop.

Frankly, it's been a long time since I've felt that way.

Thirty years later, Hollywood movie special effects have been upgraded, the industry is complete, the division of labor is accurate, and standard and qualified FMCG products are still being mass-produced.

But how long has it been since people felt the suffocation of being manipulated by the god of cinema?

For people thirty years later, that feeling is a long time.

And Terminator 2, even if you look at it thirty years later, it is still a god-like existence.

A track record that doesn't go out of date.

At the time it was made, the first film in the history of cinema with an investment of more than 100 million dollars also came out.

Kashen deserves to be a record setter.

A big gamble that earned $500 million at the global box office, and three decades later is still the most profitable installment in the series.

Thirty years later, when Kashen was ready to start filming "Terminator 6", he chose to follow the plot of "Terminator 2" and directly ignored the next few sequels.

For Kashen, there is no doubt that "Terminator 2" is the one worth "continuing".

Because Terminator 2 has a timeless brain hole.

A doomsday trial set off by artificial intelligence.

The intelligent missile defense system "Skynet" developed by the United States has developed a sense of self-consciousness and sees all human beings as a threat.

It launched a nuclear bomb at Russia, triggering a nuclear war that killed 3 billion people that day.

In order to take control of the writing of history, Future sends two robots to the Present to murder and protect the young boy John Connor as he grows up to become the leader of the race.

Artificial Intelligence, Nuclear War, Time Travel...... Thirty years later, it's still a hot topic in science fiction.

As for Kashen's ink, he does ink, which is irrefutable, and no one can say that Kashen is a very efficient director.

But Kashen has a reason for ink, and his films can make history almost every time, which even Spielberg can't do.

Thanks to the book friend Little Tiger in the Demon World for a reward of 100 coins.
