Fox terminated the exclusivity agreement and left the search for new investment funds to James Cameron.

The main thing is that they are no longer as optimistic about this film as they once were, and their awareness of risk has reached an unprecedented height.

Cameron came to San Francisco and held such a cocktail party at Ferroli Manor to find new investors.

It stands to reason that if you want to find investment funds for movies, this wine club should be in Los Angeles and Hollywood.

But this is a matter of course, but it is not suitable for the movie "Avatar" and not for director Cameron.

In Hollywood, and its surroundings, it is mainly film industry capital, which is basically dominated by film companies.

After Fox has invested in the film and the film has been filming for a while, this capital will not be involved anymore.

are all in the same industry, and Fox is a natural competitor, when the movie "Avatar" is obviously in trouble, how can they mix it up and pull it.

It's good not to step on a single foot, but if you get involved and trap yourself, wouldn't it be a big loss.

The filming mode, film style, and playback method of "Avatar" are different from previous movies, and they belong to an innovation.

Innovation is accompanied by uncontrollable risks, so the big film industry capital has deliberately avoided this movie.

And Cameron's reputation as a tyrant makes it difficult for him to find individuals in the circle who are willing to invest in him.

Movies must continue to be made, and investment must continue to be found, so Cameron set his sights on San Francisco, which is thousands of miles away.

This is a very strange phenomenon, Cameron does not have many friends in the circle, especially friends who call him friends, and even rarer.

But outside the circle, he has a lot of friends, some of whom took the initiative to make friends with him, and some of whom cherished each other and became friends.

In San Francisco, Rice, chairman of the National Heritage Foundation of the United States, was one of Cameron's friends, so he borrowed Ferroli Manor for a drinking party.

John, the president of Stanford University, is also one of his friends, a scholar who is full of peach and plums, and can help him connect with some contacts.

He hopes that among these connections, he will find wealthy people who are willing to take the risk of investing in his films.

And Leonardo, as a superstar he has single-handedly supported, has developed very well in recent years, and his net worth is quite solid.

The relationship between the two has always been very good, and Cameron actually came to him to make a connection.

Five-star sommelier George Smith is everyone's friend, a friend who has bonded over wine.

Calling him this time, Cameron didn't want to find him to make a match, nor did he ask him to help introduce contacts and funds, but purely to help find good wine.

Although Cameron has a high vision, is very arrogant, and seems to be unapproachable, in fact, he not only has a high IQ, but also has a high emotional intelligence, and he also knows how to take the human route.

George Smith was invited to come over this time so that he could find a few excellent bottles of wine in the cellar that could be used as a stepping stone to the people he was going to lobby for.

"Student Chu, with all due respect. You know a little bit of the Avatar filming, you know we're talking about funding for the film, so what? Can you invest in it?"

Cameron asked Chu Qiankun several times, but he didn't get the information they wanted to know, and as the initiator of Chu Qiankun's appearance in the wine cellar, Principal John opened his mouth.

He asked this, and there was a little deliberate element in it, and the reason for this deliberateness mainly came from Bai Jing.

Because Chu Qiankun said before that Ouyang Duxue was his girlfriend.

Then John had reason to doubt that Chu Qiankun's appearance here and saying so much had something to do with Ouyang Duxue, to be precise, whether Bai Jing instructed him to do so.

Because Bai Jing has this economic strength, she is fully qualified to become one of the investors in Cameron's movie.

The only thing he didn't understand now was how Bai Jing and the others knew about these secrets.

No, not to mention, a person who can be a principal has a fast brain, can think far away, and can think about a problem within a wide range.

But alas, this time John overplayed and misjudged.

"I've always admired Mr. Cameron's achievements in film, and I believe that Avatar will be a landmark film. It will bring infinite and infinite imagination to 3D films, and will greatly promote the development of 3D films. Chu Qiankun waved his hand and said with a solemn expression: "If I can participate in the investment of such a great movie, I am very happy." I just don't know if Mr. Cameron is willing?"

John glanced at Chu Qiankun with deep meaning, and his heart was sure enough.

Cameron has long been not calm, for so many years, he has spent countless efforts on "Avatar", and he has also described it to others I don't know how many times, telling others about the prospects and money of 3D.

However, no one has ever said such a set of things to his heart like Chu Qiankun.

This is the bosom friend!

Unexpectedly, after so many years and encounters with so many people, what can resonate with him will be such a young man from the East.

It's unbelievable that this world can be so wonderful.

Cameron was so excited that he didn't respond to Chu Qiankun immediately, but Chairman Rice, the owner of the white-headed and white-bearded man, poured a basin of cold water over.

"The investment in this movie is not small, if you want to invest, at least tens of millions of funds will be required. Will you be able to take out such a large amount of money, and will your family agree to you making this investment?"

It's not that he looks down on Chu Qiankun, but that Chu Qiankun is too young, and he himself says that he is still a college student.

Such a person in China is most likely to be the child of a rich family, just like most children of a rich family.

Pocket money may not be worried, food and clothing are worry-free, but when it comes to the investment of tens of millions of meters, how can he make it easy for him to make decisions?

And what he doubted most about Chu Qiankun was his dress.

The first time, he didn't feel anything, but after sitting close this time, he found that the suit on Chu Qiankun's body was wrinkled and dirty.

This is really a bit incompatible with people who can easily come out of a family with tens of millions of meters.

"Eight million, no problem. Chu Qiankun said lightly and indifferently, as if it was eight hundred yuan: "As long as Mr. Cameron agrees to my investment, once the agreement is signed, the funds will be in place at any time." ”

"I'm talking about tens of millions of meters of gold, not Huaxia coins. Rice emphasized again.

Chu Qiankun smiled slightly: "It's a coincidence, I'm talking about rice gold." ”
