Chapter 1517: Leisurely Card God
A person's ideological realm begins to rise with his abundant food and clothing and achievements.
The ancients said that it could be explained clearly with a single poem.
"Knowing etiquette and knowing etiquette, knowing honor and disgrace when food and clothing are sufficient. ”
A person who can't even eat enough, if you tell him what is called spiritual pursuit, what is called "attainment and help the world", that is all.
Nothing is as good as a bowl of white rice to fill your stomach, for this bowl of white rice, people who are cornered can do incredible things!
But if you have gotten rid of food and clothing, or even free from the restrictions of money, then the realm and things you pursue are completely different.
For example, sitting in front of Yin Jun, wearing a colorful shirt and beach pants, like James Cameron on vacation at the beach in Hawaii, he is very relaxed.
James Cameron, who has filmed "Terminator" and "Die Hard" in a row, is not qualified for the four major Hollywood directors, but he is definitely a first-class popular director in Hollywood now.
"Terminator" is of course groundbreaking, but the second part of "Die Hard" did not rely on any special effects, but with the plot and hot fight scenes, it won the global box office of 560 million US dollars in two months, which fully proves the strength of James Cameron.
Relying on these two movies, Cameron has received more than $20 million in dividends.
Yin Jun did not treat him badly, not only did he have dividends at the global box office, but also his share of the rest of the videotapes, TV copyrights, etc.
Although it is not much, it is definitely worthy of Cameron's current value.
This is also what makes Cameron very pleased.
Although Yin Jun single-handedly promoted him, he was also a layman who wanted to eat whole grains, and he needed to have a rich life and be able to afford what he wanted.
In addition, Yin Jun gave Cameron the final editing rights in the second part of "Die Hard", which made Cameron feel very comfortable doing things with Yin Jun.
So even if many companies are looking for him now, hoping to ask him to help direct the movie, Cameron has not considered it for the time being.
I'm happy in the Kirin Group, I have all the treatment, why go to find a new place and start over?
The filming of "Die Hard" came to an end, and Cameron did not have any new film plans for the time being, but instead transferred to Hong Kong and prepared to travel to India.
There is no one else, just him.
"I'm very interested in the sects in India, they are very mysterious and interesting. Cameron explained his trip to Yin Jun, "I hope to stay there for a while and really feel this ancient civilization." ”
Thinking about those jokes about India in the future, Yin Jun held back riskily and did not persuade Cameron not to go.
Thinking about it, Qiao Gang Leader has also traveled all over India barefoot, what can a blessed person like Kashen do when he goes to India?
Cameron is very fond of India.
One of his most important films in the future, "Avatar", is titled in Sanskrit, which means "incarnation".
The name also foreshadows the origin and important changes of the whole story.
No one can have such a whimsical idea without a little religious study.
Maybe in his previous life, it was because of his influence in this area that he was able to make a movie with the pinnacle of special effects like "Avatar".
"How's your work plan?" Yin Jun asked casually.
"Boss, how did you become so cheesy?" Cameron teased, sipping cold wine, "Isn't it the most casual thing for a genius like you?"
"But I have so many people to feed!" Yin Jun shrugged and said, "Is it possible that you, the number one director of commercial films, don't I squeeze you fiercely, worthy of your ability?"
People like to hear good things.
Especially a genius like Yin Jun, Cameron is of course very happy to hear the compliment.
So he didn't sell it, and said with a smile: "I've been preparing for "Terminator 2", and the people in the digital realm are so annoyed by me that the doorman is about to forbid me to enter, so I just come out for a walk...... And looking at the progress of their work, there may not be a way to make the liquid robot effect that "Terminator 2" needs in two years, so I can only wait. ”
After a pause, Cameron added, "The kid you introduced me to play the teenage version of the leader of the rebels, I think it's okay, with a little aura, I'll use it first! ”
"Good!"
Yin Jun nodded, without hesitation.
Although Gu Tsai is the person Yin Jun wants to support, compared to Cameron, his weight is still not enough.
If there is a conflict in the concept of the movie, Cameron must come first, otherwise according to Cameron's temper, sooner or later he will leave.
Seeing that Yin Jun easily agreed, Cameron breathed a sigh of relief.
He heard Cheng Long say that this little boy is very liked by Yin Jun, so he will accept him as his godson, otherwise he would not have sent him to join the destined "Terminator 2".
Indeed, as Cameron said, Gu Tianle's aura is still enough, but Cameron can't guarantee whether he can adapt to his requirements during the shooting, so he will tell Yin Jun first, so as not to have conflicts in the future.
After so many years of ups and downs, Cameron knows that it is absolutely difficult to find a good boss like Yin Jun in Hollywood, and he will definitely not leave the Kirin Group unless he has to.
"Ancient is a good boy, but my favorite is Jack. Cameron relaxed at this time, "He broke my preconceived notions of actors, and let me know that there are still such serious and dedicated actors! Although I have disputes with him in many places, we are all about making the movie better! If possible, I would like to continue to work with him on a few more films." ”
Cameron himself is very serious and demanding, and his favorite is the kind of person who dares to act desperately.
Although Schwarzenegger was trained by him to be a big name, Cameron was still able to force him to hang on the plane to shoot.
It's just that for Americans, work is secondary, life and body are the most important, so Cameron can also understand these actors.
But when he saw Cheng Long's desperateness on the set, he was really stunned.
He didn't expect that an actor, especially a first-class actor who had become famous, could be so desperate.
No matter which action or scene, as long as he shouted, Cheng Long did not frown.
No matter what kind of injury it is, Cheng Long is not ambiguous, as long as he can move, he can shoot.
After a few months of filming on such a trip, Cameron has completely convinced Cheng Long, and he likes such actors from the bottom of his heart, and he can't wait to cooperate with him, everyone is like Cheng Long - including actresses.
In Cameron's view, good actors are regardless of nationality, even if Cheng Long is not a white European or American, he is willing to continue to work with him.
Because only when the actor is serious can he make a good movie.
He Cameron only cares whether the movie is good or not, and he doesn't care which country the actor is filming.
"I have already finished the script of "Die Hard 2", and when you come back from India, you can go to United Arts Films to get it. Yin Jun didn't hesitate, "Die Hard has a total of 4 episodes, and I hope you can always work with Jack." ”
"No problem!"
Cameron also agreed.
"And then I have a script here that you can take a look at. Yin Jun said, "If possible, the actor is Schwarzenegger." Because this script is what I made for him. ”
"Okay! I'll take a look. ”
Cameron didn't say yes directly this time.
Although Schwarzenegger performed very well in "The Terminator", his characteristics are too distinct, and many roles are not suitable for him and cannot be arranged randomly.
Cameron admires Yin Jun's vision, but now he is qualified to demand control of his film, from start to finish.
Yin Jun not only gave him this power, but even the role was just a suggestion, never forced, which is one of the biggest reasons why Cameron likes to stay in the Kirin Group.
The movie that the boy gave to Cameron is not those works of Cameron in his previous life, but it is still a classic.
A classic performed by Schwarzenegger.
The name is called
Predator.
It is the story of a group of rescue teams who land on a desert island and want to rescue the pilot who has been forced to land on this island because the plane was shot down.
To put it simply, Schwarzenegger and they met an almost invulnerable, bloodthirsty and cruel alien with a lot of high-tech equipment, with thermal imaging and stealth capabilities, and after almost all the troops were wiped out, Schwarzenegger captured and killed the alien alone.
The storyline is not complicated, but the whole plot content is thrilling.
The audience is easily drawn into that atmosphere of tension and oppression.
An invisible enemy is already terrifying, plus there is such a strong ability, it is still so cruel, as the rescue team is killed one by one, the atmosphere is extremely depressing.
But the more so, when Schwarzenegger finally played a lone hero, turned the tide, and captured the aliens, the excitement after this repression was released more and more heartily.
Yin Jun watched this movie around 2010 and watched it in a tense and exciting atmosphere.
Among all the sci-fi action movies watched by teenagers, in terms of concept and excitement, "Predator" can at least rank in the top five.
Such a good-looking movie, although it is R-rated and restricts young people under the age of 18 from watching, it is really a bit unbelievable that it did not squeeze into the top ten of the North American box office list that year.
Therefore, after Yin Jun became popular with Schwarzenegger, and after Yin Jun won over Cameron, he actively prepared this movie.
"Terminator 2" still has two or three years to be filmed, and Schwarzenegger has only made one "Terminator", which cannot stabilize his status as a first-line action star.
Since the beginning of this year, he has frequently asked Yin Jun to make another movie with a good script, which can not be included in the contract of ten films in 20 years, and the salary can be low.
After so many years of tempering and failure and setbacks, Schwarzenegger's character is definitely not arrogant, so Yin Jun is willing to praise him again.
As for Schwarzenegger's voluntary regression of "not counting the contract department", Yin Jun does not have this idea, he is not a person who takes advantage, since the contract is set, then it should be abided by.
Schwarzenegger didn't act in many movies in his life, at first it was a little more frequent, and after a few years, two or three years later, let him star in one is the most reasonable way to make use of big star resources.
Cameron's side, don't worry, what he likes is this kind of hot and intense movie with a lot of special effects.
And that octopus-like alien also happened to give Cameron an experience of pre-building aliens.
It is also to lay the foundation for his future development in science fiction.
It's no wonder Cameron is willing to miss such a great opportunity to accumulate experience!
