Chapter 1132: Doubts

Cameron sent Yin Jun away satisfied.

At this time, he is far from being the invincible card god in the world in the future, so he is very happy to be appreciated by Yin Jun, and he also feels full of motivation.

Yin Jun has already told him that he can write a script to shoot by himself, and the company will be responsible for all the expenses, and like this time, he still has the final editing rights.

This made Cameron even happier and more grateful to Yin Jun.

What he is grateful for is not that the company let him write and direct the film himself, but the latter item - the final editing right.

Nowadays, there are less than ten directors in Hollywood who have the final editing rights, and one of them is brought out at random, which one is not a famous superdirector?

Only he, Cameron, is a fledgling director, so he has the final editing rights, and it is two films in a row, such a good encounter, such courage, completely impressed him.

He knows who Yin Jun is, Cameron has carefully understood Yin Jun, and knows that the boss of this media giant started as a screenwriter, and he is not only the best in the world in script writing, but also has an extremely vicious eye for people and things.

Cameron is not as conceited as he was later, but he also feels that he is a very useful talent.

Now that the boss has a good eye and has given him such an opportunity, Cameron has vowed to make a good movie and not disappoint the boss.

That is, Cameron only knows now, and if he knew that in the next forty years, there will be no more than ten directors with the final editing rights for each of his own films, he will be even more proud.

This is not a big deal, you must know that even big directors such as David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino, Zack Snyder, and David Lynch do not have their own final editing rights for every movie.

Even Nolan the Great God only got the coveted final editing rights after several movies.

The same goes for Bombshell, who has had half of his final editing rights since he messed up Pearl Harbor, even if the Transformers franchise was a complete success.

Now that the filming of "The Terminator" has finally been successfully completed, what he can do has been done, and then it will be handed over to the market, so that the market can test how successful his real Cameron work can be.

In the next step, he will have to rest for a while, and then think about making movies.

It's rare to have such a good opportunity, and to have the final editing rights for yourself, and Cameron certainly has to cherish it.

However, it will definitely not be the script of "Terminator 2" that I have long held, because the crucial special effects technology in it is still far from meeting the required standards.

Cameron has a habit that is particularly good.

That is, no matter how successful he is, his attitude towards the film is the same piety, and he never gets carried away because of pride.

So you can see him arrogantly shouting "I am the king of the world" at the Titanic's Oscar special, and then honed it for another ten years, and suddenly sacrificed a super killer with cross-era significance like "Avatar".

Such a director, in addition to shooting too few movies, even Yin Jun can't find his third shortcoming.

Well, in addition to the second disadvantage of too few movies, that is, he uses too much money, and every time he shoots a movie, he will definitely overspend.

When "Titanic" happened, he almost caused Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount to go out of business, and the senior executives of Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount in charge of the project were also forced by him to be ready to jump off the street after the release of "Titanic", and they jumped from the Empire State Building.

As for "Avatar", the record of 300 million US dollars in production costs can only be compared to those star-studded superhero movies many years later.

The biggest reason for overspending is that Cameron is a person with a perfect obsessive-compulsive disorder, he will not tolerate the slightest flaw in his film, even in the middle of the shooting, as long as he feels that something is wrong, he will still click it all and continue to remake it again, regardless of how much manpower and material resources will be spent in it.

No, Cameron has just begun to control a movie in the real sense, and he dares to spend 30 million to shoot "The Terminator"!

In this day and age, what is the concept of a $30 million production cost?

It's basically equivalent to the production cost of $200 million in later generations!

Even if it is the seven giants of Hollywood, any of them, they must be careful and careful in making such a movie, otherwise one is not good, but it will hurt the muscles and bones - just like "Heaven's Gate" is to United Arts Films, if you don't do it, you will almost go bankrupt!

In this regard, Cameron is much worse than Christopher Nolan.

Christopher Nolan also emphasizes details, has the same obsessive-compulsive disorder of perfection, and also likes to use special effects, but he does things more carefully than Cameron, and he always prepares carefully when doing expensive shots, which reduces the chance of mistakes and greatly reduces the cost.

But then again, if Cameron wasn't such a perfectionist compulsion, would he still be the same card god?

I'm afraid not!

Therefore, Yin Jun understands him very well, and he just gives it directly if he overspends.

The number of failures made by Cameron is too small, that is, the movie "The Abyss" loses, and the rest are all big or small successes.

In the history of his previous life, Cameron's second movie should be "Alien 2", which took over the class of Ridley Scott, and it was completed very well, which was affirmed and sought after by countless people, further consolidating his status as a genius director.

But now Cameron is obviously impossible to make "Alien 2" for Twentieth Century Fox anymore, he belongs to Lianyi Film Company, so he naturally does it himself.

Even if Cameron made the only servant street goods in his career "The Abyss" a few years in advance, Yin Jun felt that it didn't matter.

Actually, if you take a closer look, the storyline of "The Abyss" is very similar to "Titanic", which achieved the title of his card god.

"The Abyss" is also a story of disaster and salvation, which is also interspersed with a sincere love story.

"Titanic", isn't it the same thing about?

Without "The Abyss" because it was too gloomy and esoteric to understand, without "The Abyss" failing because of the procrastination of the storyline, and without Cameron, who did not learn these lessons, could he make "Titanic" so well?

Definitely not!

Therefore, all fans should be grateful to the movie "The Abyss", otherwise we would not have seen the classic "Titanic".

This is also the most important reason why Yin Jun promised Cameron, no matter what the movie, the company will pay for it and let him control all the crew.

Some people, he deserves your trust.

It's just that after coming out, a group of people who returned to the office immediately began their own exhortations.

"President, I think it's too risky for such a big production. Jason Tannia, general manager of the theatrical distribution department of Lianyi Film Company, was the first to speak: "The production cost is 30 million US dollars, the distribution cost is 20 million US dollars, and it is 50 million US dollars all of a sudden, such a cost, at least 150 million US dollars at the global box office, in order to ensure the return on investment, if you want to achieve a good profit with good data, I think 200 million US dollars is reliable."

But according to my estimates, unless this movie is released in IMAX theaters, it is likely that its North American box office will not exceed 100 million US dollars, and whether the remaining 100 million US dollars can be obtained is also a question. So please be sure to control these people's budgets in the future, and don't let the directors spend lavishly!"

"Yes, for example, a producer like Bruckheimer is good, and the two you brought from Hong Kong can control costs very well and bring enough benefits to the company. Druid Rondo, Disney's general manager of theatrical distribution, agrees, "We should make more medium-sized films that cost around $10 million, rather than 350 million at every turn." Although you are not short of money, president, if you lose money for several consecutive films, I am afraid it will affect the confidence of the theater chain in us. If you don't give us more schedules at that time, it will be difficult. ”

Although the Americans and Chinese people also have tactful times, they are more accustomed to talking about things when they are working, and you say that they are stubborn or inflexible, but this is their habit.

The two are responsible for the distribution of all overseas films of Kirin Culture, especially in Europe and the United States, they have also worked in this industry for more than ten or twenty years, and they have rich experience and suffered a lot, so they are very sensitive to this cost issue.

They don't dare to say that Yin Jun is doing this wrongly now, after all, Yin Jun has already made a decision, and they will do the same with the publicity cost of 20 million, but they hope that in the future, it will be better to try to touch as little as possible.

Films like "Beverly Hills Detective" and "Chainsaw" are the best when they are cheap to produce and hit the box office.

You can't say that people are thinking wrong, because they don't know that Yin Jun is from the future.

It is most appropriate to make more low-budget or medium-budget films for the most prudent company management, and then wait until one of them is a box office hit, and then make it into a series to make money and make it a classic for your company.

The Big Seven Hollywood also do this, such as the "Alien" series, "Ghost Record", "Chainsaw", "American Pie" and so on.

Including the "Fast and Thrilling" series, the same is true, don't look at the production costs of Super 7 and Super 8, which have exceeded one or two hundred million US dollars, but in fact, the people in front of them are really just making small and medium-cost films, and they never thought that they could go so far and be so good.

Disney and United Arts Films have gone through a lot of hard times, so both publishers sincerely hope that they will never experience such days again, and their proposals are also out of public intentions.

Including their words that Yin Jun is rich and should not be so willful, it is also very insightful.

A normal business operation company can never just rely on the boss's money to make up for its losses, and if it does not have its own hematopoietic ability, it will definitely be eliminated by society.

Not to mention that if you have money, you won't bear to spend tens of millions of dollars every year to check and fill in the gaps.

If Disney and United Arts Films want to develop better and better, and seek benefits for the employees below, of course, they can only rely on their own continuous efforts to make money!
