Chapter 1028: Catching Up (Wan Er)
After almost half a year of postponement, Cameron's trip to China finally took a difficult step and set foot on the land of China.
A group of more than a dozen people, all of whom are professional technical professionals, Cameron is here for business this time, not a trip, and all the big bags and small bags are professional equipment.
Moreover, Cameron's visit to China this time was very low-key, and he did not attract the attention of the media until he set foot at Dongdu International Airport.
At present, in China, there is no climate for airport street photography that was very popular in later generations, although Dong Jiani and other star artists will occasionally release some of their own airport photos.
However, this has not yet caused a trend of follow-up, mainly due to the lack of communication platform and convenience.
All of this will have to wait for the mobile social platform and the real smart terminal to start to exert force, and it will suddenly come like a spring breeze overnight.
There are very few media, and of course the famous "Hongqiao First Sister" is even more unlikely to appear, so except for the full-time follow-up and royal photographers arranged by Xingchen Media, there is no other shooting team at all.
In addition, it is a business channel, so it is smooth all the way until you get on the bus.
Of course, there is another reason, everyone is familiar with Cameron's movies, but not many people know him in reality.
What's more, it's still a pair of sunglasses and a peaked cap, which is even more impossible to recognize.
Xingchen Media arranged five cars to pick up the airport this time, in addition to Chu Qiankun's GMC, followed by a water Buick business, which is very convenient.
"Chu, thank you for the arrangement. Cameron looked at the long motorcade, took off his sunglasses, and gave Chu Qiankun another hug warmly.
Just now inside, I just said hello briefly, and didn't stop to talk more.
"James, you're here in Huaxia, shouldn't I make some arrangements? What's more, you're also on business, it's our movie!"
After separation, Chu Qiankun took a small step back, stretched out his fingers and pointed at each other, and smiled.
I was also very helpless, the direct flight from Dongzhou to the United States has not yet been officially opened, and Cameron and they can only fly to Dongdu first, and then transfer to Dongzhou.
It's been a hard journey.
According to Chu Qiankun's meaning, it was to arrange for them to stay in Dongdu for one night first, reverse the jet lag, and then go to Dongzhou the next day.
As a result, Cameron refused, saying that he would go to Dongzhou that night and pour jet lag directly in Dongzhou.
The filming of "Avatar" was very intense, and he finally arranged a week this time, the time was tight and the task was heavy, and the connection must be urgent.
Cameron said so, Chu Qiankun naturally wouldn't insist anymore, so Su Suyuan only made a phone call there, and she didn't even have time to go around the construction site of the Fortune Building.
Although he was tired, Cameron still smiled: "Haha, with your financial support, the filming progress has accelerated a lot, and I am confident that it will be released within three years." Thanks to you, thank you!"
After so many years of filming a movie, with the support of Chu Qiankun's hundreds of millions of meters, it will take three years.
If this had been changed to another investor or other director, I am afraid that I would have scolded my mother a long time ago.
It's not just time that's delayed, it's money.
In three years, how much money can be made with money, and in three years, who knows if this money is not this money?
However, Cameron knows what kind of movie he wants to make and what the quality of the movie is, and Chu Qiankun knows that a good meal is not afraid of being late.
Therefore, both of them have a tacit understanding and are satisfied with hahaha smile.
"You don't have to thank me, I want to make money from your movie. And if you really want to thank them, just thank them. Chu Qiankun stretched out his finger and pointed at Fang Shaohua and the others: "Let me introduce you to a few of the real heroes of your film investment." ”
Pointing to Fang Shaohua: "The person in charge of Xingchen Media, Mr. Fang Shaohua." ”
Referring to Tang Wan again: "The person in charge of Bowan Leading Fund, Ms. Tang Wan." ”
Chu Qiankun's way of introducing is very Chinese, and he did not invert his first and last names according to the habit of foreigners, and Boss Chu did not have the habit of foreigners.
The etiquette of the state of etiquette does not need to be reflected in this regard, the ancestors have been used to it for thousands of years, and they actually want to call in the way of foreigners.
It's ridiculous, and it's even more pathetic.
Cameron couldn't do without a warm greeting, Chu Qiankun was right, this was the person who directly invested in his films.
The funds were raised by Bo Wan first, and the contract was signed by Xingchen Media, although Cameron couldn't figure out the relationship between them, he knew that these were all assets in Chu Qiankun's hands.
"Chu, not only are you young, but even the people under you are so young. When I see you, I see the vigor of youth. ”
"Hahaha, what you said in the words of our ancestor is that we are the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and this world is ours and will eventually belong to us. ”
Chu Qiankun was not polite at all, and following Cameron's words, he began to boast to himself.
Foreigners look honest, but in fact, they are also very hypocritical, they are all the words of people before people and the masters of ghosts after people.
It's just beautified.
In fact, as long as you think about it carefully, you can understand that there are people who are not hypocritical?
Yes, yes, but it's a robot.
As long as it is a human being, as long as there is flesh and blood, these cannot be avoided, and the difference is only in size.
Taizu's words, Chu Qiankun said in Chinese, Cameron didn't understand at all, and after Tang Wan's translation, he understood.
However, he clearly looked bitter: "Chu, do you mean that I am too old and will be eliminated soon?"
Chu Qiankun laughed and continued happily: "James, rest assured, as a person who has been at the forefront of the film industry and continues to develop and forge ahead, you will not be eliminated." ”
"There is also a saying in Huaxia that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. If one day you stop and don't like to explore new ways forward in the film industry, you are likely to be surpassed by those who come after you. ”
Tang Wan hesitated how to translate, but Chu Qiankun nodded at her: "Translate it directly!"
He himself can directly say these two sentences to Cameron in English, but it is really difficult to find other languages in the world that can accurately and meticulously express the artistic conception of Chinese.
It is obviously a sentence with a lot of connotation and momentum, but when it is translated into English, it will be very pale and weak.
While Tang Wan was translating, Cameron nodded: "Chu, I understand what you mean, and I understand your kindness." My whole life was born for movies, and it's impossible to stop. In one of my favorite Chinese sayings, life is not stopped, and the battle is endless. ”
"Hey, James, yes!" Chu Qiankun's eyes lit up, and he couldn't imagine that Cameron could still say such a thing: "When did you start studying Chinese culture and language?" ”
"Chu, I have always liked Chinese culture, you have thousands of years of precipitation. No other country on the planet has been as long as you, and there is no broken inheritance, which is the greatest treasure of mankind. ”
"As for these Chinese sayings, I just learned them. It's still somewhat influenced by you, hahaha......"
One old and one young, the one who chats is called a happy, there is no age gap at all, and there is a gap between regions and countries.
They chatted happily, and there were two people who played soy sauce, but they were already like ants in a hot pot, standing on the side, and they wanted to stop talking.
Finally, Xu Zhengbo couldn't bear it anymore and pulled Chu Qiankun: "Boss, what about the two of us?
"You two have something to introduce. Chu Qiankun had already seen the performance of the two of them, and he didn't introduce them to Cameron for a long time, just to see how long they endured.
"Boss, you are engaging in discrimination, why don't we two need to be introduced, we are your right-hand men, the most important assistants in your career. ”
Xu Zhengbo was anxious, and quickly put forward his strategic position.
Liu Xinxin also nodded desperately, and eagerly, the black fur hat on his head was also taken off, and he touched his big bald head vigorously.
Urgent, really anxious, didn't you see the hair in a hurry?
Fortunately, it didn't embarrass the two for long, and Cameron took the initiative to greet them.
The excited Xu Zhengbo and Liu Xinxin grabbed Cameron's hand and wanted to divide him on the spot.
Chu Qiankun touched his forehead, speechless, is it necessary to be so excited?
"It's almost enough, don't lose my face, you want to take a photo and sign it, there is a chance. Learn more from Tang Wan, the necessary quality of a successful person is to be calm in everything and calm in everything. ”
It's another education.
Cameron also smiled awkwardly, this enthusiasm is no weaker than that of his fans.
watched the two of them let go of Cameron stupidly, but they still stood on one side left and one right, as if to prevent Cameron from suddenly escaping.
Chu Qiankun could only continue to shake his head and sigh: "James, both of them are fanatical fans of yours. This relationship has been brewing for half a year, so it's a bit fanatical. ”
"Haha, understand, understand, I'm also honored to have such good fans. "Cameron is a person who is full of arrogance, if it weren't for Chu Qiankun by his side, if it weren't for the fact that they were Chu Qiankun's person, he wouldn't bother to take care of it.
"Let me introduce it to you," Chu Qiankun first pointed at Xu Zhengbo and said, "This is also the person in charge of Bowan Leading Fund and Ms. Tang Wan's assistant. In the funds raised this time, he made a great effort. The surname is Xu, and the name is Zhengbo. ”
"Hello Kashen, I am Xu Zhengbo, who grew up watching your movies, and my biggest wish is to watch more of your movies. ”
Looking at the seriousness introduced by Chu Qiankun, Xu Zhengbo is also a lot more serious.
Chu Qiankun pointed at Liu Xinxin again: "Let me give you a highlight, he is the young owner of Huaxia Jebsen Cinema Line, and he is also the actual controller of the cinema line in the future." Mr. Liu Xinxin. ”
"Hello Kashen, I also grew up watching your movies. Liu Xinxin said simply, a gust of cold wind blew, and he quickly put on his hat.
"Cinema line?" Cameron was surprised: "Chu, is this Jebsen cinema line also your asset?"
Chu Qiankun smiled: "I am the second largest shareholder of the cinema chain, and Mr. Liu's family is the largest shareholder. ”
"As of yesterday, our cinema chain has 20 cinemas in China, and more than a dozen are under construction and renovation. By the end of this year, we have a target of close to 80 cinemas. The number of screens in theaters should strive to exceed 600. ”
"Wow, that's a big goal. In terms of growth rate, this is not a small amount!"
Cameron nodded, with a surprised expression, but he didn't know how much of it was true and how much was false.
Chu Qiankun looked at Cameron indifferently, there were some things that he knew very well: "Although these numbers are not comparable with the mature market of the United States, you have to believe that in less than ten years, the Chinese film market will catch up, and it will not be much worse than the North American market." ”
"Even many times, the box office of many movies in the Chinese market exceeds that of the North American market. It won't take many years for a single box office in the Chinese film market to make a film enter the top 100 in world film history, and it has the potential to hit the top 50. ”
