James Cameron has always had a special position in Li Qian's heart.

He came from another time and space, in this strange time and space, not to mention in China, even in Europe and the United States, he basically has not seen people who really overlap the two time and space - the changes in China seem to be greater, completely different since the end of the Ming Dynasty, and smaller abroad, but the history and people in the past hundred years have basically been completely different from other time and space.

Only James Cameron stubbornly appeared in two different planes.

And the looks, attributes, and even experiences of the two James Cameron are basically similar.

Or, it can even be understood that in the current time and space, only James Cameron can be regarded as Li Qian's "old man".

Compared to this, he is still the "king of the world" in this plane, but it seems less important.

Of course, there will still be some faint guilt.

Li Qian is about to start filming "Avatar".

At a famous restaurant in Los Angeles, Li Qian arrived with John Days at the appointed time, and then met the great director who is now the global box office record holder.

The theme song and soundtrack of "Titanic" were all made by Li Qian, and it is said that the two are not unacquainted, but strange to say, the two obviously worked together for a period of time at that time, but they didn't seem to leave the slightest friendship at all - in recent years, there has been almost no communication and correspondence between the two.

This time, though, he was enthusiastic.

Seeing Li Qian and John Days coming in together, he took the initiative to stand up, and when Li Qian came over, he opened his arms and took the initiative to give a hug - of course, he was obviously more familiar with John Days. Of his five past films, the last three are produced by John Days.

After the two of them had embraced, everyone sat down together.

The waiter came over, the three of them ordered their own meals, and then they didn't even say a few words of politeness, James Cameron had already looked at Li Qian with blazing eyes, and said seriously: "Hey, Qian, I have an investment opportunity for you!"

Li Qian has been in contact with him more than once, and although everyone finally got along and couldn't even be considered friends, they still had an understanding of some of his habits and some ways of doing things.

At least when it comes to work, he really likes to get straight to the point like this.

And rare hubris.

But Li Qian still smiled and said, "Oh?

In fact, after finishing today's filming, John Days was already waiting for him outside the set, and on the way together, the two took a car, John Days briefly introduced him to James Cameron's recent situation, and roughly predicted the reason why James Cameron suddenly asked for this meal.

In fact, John Days really knew Cameron, and he was not wrong.

James Cameron said: "You may have seen the relevant reports, yes, yes, I am leading the team to develop a new technology, this technology is called 3D technology, and I will combine the IMAX company with the widescreen system to make a 3D-IMAX technology, which is a very complex, very comprehensive and comprehensive technology, it involves many aspects of cinematography, production and playback. ”

Li Qian nodded slowly, and then inadvertently turned his head to look at John Days.

John Days shrugged imperceptibly.

Cameron continued: "We worked together on "Titanic", you know, I am a person who likes to pioneer new technologies, just like "Titanic" back then, I used epoch-making special effects to create a new era for films all over the world, and I believe that once my 3D technology is developed, it will also shock the whole world!"

Li Qian nodded slowly again, and when he saw Cameron looking at him, he said, "Yes, I know that once this technology is developed, it will shock the world." So...... What do you want me to do?"

James Cameron's eyes lit up when he heard this, "At present, my technology research and development has been on the right track, and in about another year to a year and a half, I am confident that I can put these technologies into practical applications, and you may have heard John say that my next film project, it is called "The Terminator", which will be a particularly cool sci-fi action movie, and by 2010 at the latest, this movie will be on the big screen." ”

"But, Qian, you know, developing a completely new technology is very expensive to develop. ”

Li Qian pursed his lips.

James Cameron continued: "I now realize that it's going to be hard to sit this down on my own, so I've reached out to Twentieth Century Fox and they've agreed to get involved in investing. But I reached out to our old friend John, and he wasn't very interested. Oh...... You know, Kim, it's so sad. ”

Li Qian smiled and asked, "Have you gone to contact Colombia?"

James Cameron laughed, "Of course, of course. I know, Colombia is your company now. They were on my shortlist, but I know you've been to the U.S. recently, and I think it's better to go to Colombia and talk to them than to talk to you directly. ”

Li Qian still smiled, he turned his head to look at John Days, and asked, "Did John tell you why he decided not to support you this time when he rejected your financing?"

John Days shrugged helplessly.

James Cameron waved his hand indifferently and said, "John told me that a Chinese company under your name is also doing research and development related to 3D technology, and the technology is close to maturity, and it will even be ready to be put into use, so he rejected me!"

Li Qian nodded, "So...... yes, are you still looking for me?"

James Cameron shook his head with a smile, extremely confident, "Qian, I've seen your "The Matrix", it was very well made, through that movie, I know that you also have a science fiction heart, so I am not surprised that you will study 3D technology." Now in Hollywood and North America, there are at least a dozen companies doing related research and development, but you have probably seen the previous release of "African Adventures", I want to say that their thinking is fundamentally wrong, so that movie is really ugly, and it does not achieve the shocking effect that a successful, mature 3D movie should have. ”

He said, "Trust me, I am the only one in the world who can make amazing 3D technology!"

His subtext was not spoken, maybe this was enough for him to save face for Li Qian, but, I have to say, this feeling is not very good.

He wanted to say, "Qian, believe me, the ones you developed will definitely not work!"

What is it called?

This is probably the real-life version of "I didn't say it, you are all garbage......

In the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, as the "king of the world", Cameron, as a leader in the world's film technology, whether it is the special effects technology of "Titanic" or the 3D technology of "Avatar", he is indeed qualified to say so, he can say, "I am the king of the world!", you can say, "It's not me who said, all of you here are garbage......"

In the current time and space, if there is no Li Qian, maybe in a few years, the "Terminator" he is preparing will once again reign in the world with 3D technology, directly shocking filmmakers around the world. At that time, he was still qualified to say, "It's not me who said ......"

Because he's really awesome.

Whether it is the time and space that Li Qian has experienced, or the current time and space, it is true that there are many Hollywood film technology companies doing 3D research, but I have to admit that only he has succeeded, and through a representative work, 3D technology has been promoted to the world overnight, making his technology a global standard.

It can be said that after "Avatar", especially after three or two years of fermentation and dissemination, of course, the most important thing is that after practice again and again, when the cost of 3D technology began to gradually decline, for commercial blockbusters, the 3D version has become a standard.

But what is very helpless is that now in front of him, a spoiler has appeared, Li Qian.

The 3D technology research and development standards of the scientific research institute under Li Qian's name are directly compared to the "Avatar" in Li Qian's mind, and it can be said that it has been on the straightest road from the beginning.

Up to now, the technology has basically matured, and Li Qian has absolute confidence that the 3D technology developed by his company will have an effect that is definitely not inferior to the time and space "Avatar" he has experienced!

And he is also confident that through an exotic promotional film like "Avatar", he will directly promote 3D technology to the world, so that this technology in his hands will become a 3D standard in the global film industry!

Of course, even so, Li Qian still does not laugh at James Cameron's arrogance, let alone think that he has replaced him as the "king of the world".

After thinking about it, he said to James Cameron very seriously: "James, maybe John told you a lot of things, but you don't want to believe it, but I can tell you very seriously that my 3D technology research and development is indeed about to reach the final stage of maturity, and then I will start making my first 3D technology movie right away." ”

Seeing James Cameron frowning, Li Qian felt a little helpless, but he still continued to say to him seriously and sincerely: "I know that you don't believe that there are others other than you who can complete this work and research and development, but the reality is like this, we have done it." If you wish, I'd like to invite you to visit China at your convenience, and we've made a 45-second 3D video dailie that you can see there. Maybe at that time, it will be better for you to decide whether to continue your own 3D technology research and development. ”

James Cameron looked arrogant, and even suppressed some annoyance and anger in his eyes, he said: "Maybe, I'm waiting for your work to appear on the big screen, I hope you really do a good job of 3D technology." ”

As he spoke, he actually stood up directly.

Li Qian was a little stunned, and John Days raised his hand helplessly and patted his head.

"Both, I still have some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave. You use it slowly!" After speaking, he straightened up and strode out under Li Qian's stunned gaze.

Until he walked out of the door of the restaurant, Li Qian retracted his gaze in amazement, looked at John Dyce, and spread his hands - John Dyce shook his head helplessly, "He...... Boss, you know, he'......"

Li Qian shook his head helplessly and sighed.

After thinking about it, Li Qian said: "You tell him that I welcome him to China at any time to see our technology, and you can also tell him that going to see it will reduce his losses a lot." ”

John Days thought for a moment and suddenly stood up, "That's ...... I ......"

Li Qian waved his hand.

John Days rushed out right then.

As soon as James Cameron started the car, John Days had already found him, directly opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, "Hey, Jamie, you shouldn't do this, Qian and I are talking about ......"

James Cameron looked furious, "John, we have been friends for more than ten years, do you want to tell me again that China Qian's skills are very good, will they be better than me?"

John Days shrugged helplessly.

"Listen, Jamie, you should at least take a look, anyway. Trust me, I've seen it with my own eyes, and although the film is less than a minute long, the effect is particularly impressive. Let's take a look and decide if your technology needs to be developed, okay?"

James Cameron didn't speak for a long time.

But his anger does seem to be fading.

After a full minute, he said, "When I have time, I will be willing to go to China to see Qian's 3D technology." However, my research and development will not stop. Even if his R&D has been completed, and even has commercial value, I believe that once my technology R&D is completed, it will definitely surpass his!"

After a pause, he said: "In the world of technology, it is not the winner who finishes it early, but also who has better technology, easier to implement, and better." The better one will become the globally recognized technical standard! And I am definitely the best one!"

John Days spread his hands.

"At least...... I advised you last time, if Qianqian's skills are actually better than yours, if you continue to spend money, you will be in debt at that time. Jamie, let's not be angry, shall we?"

James Cameron turned his head to look at him, then leaned over and helped him open the passenger side door.

John Days spread his hands helplessly and got out of the car.
