Chapter 1210: First Sight of Avatar
Shuai wants to promote the successful advertising and sales experience of "Qianyuan", which is only tied to "Baidu Earth" in the United States, and has successful advertising and sales experience in Japan, South Korea and other countries. Different countries, different nationalities, different skin colors, different cultures, if the advertisements suitable for Orientals are copied to Westerners. That would only be a painful defeat. Therefore, if you want to impress Westerners, you must shoot advertisements that are in line with the aesthetic views of Westerners to impress them.
Originally, Lin Feng wanted to invite Spielberg to film, but now that Spielberg is filming, Spielberg has completed the script of the first season of "Hero" given by Lin Feng at one time. Therefore, there is no time to shoot such an advertisement at the moment. This made Lin Feng quite entangled all the time, after all, this was Lin Feng's hope to fight against "Bola". Although there is an "artificial intelligence program", this program is still only in the initial stage of use, and the real power will not be revealed until later. At this stage, there is no more weapon than "Baidu Earth" to fight against "Harmony". And when "Baidu Earth" was temporarily frozen by the Supreme Court of California, the "Qianyuan" that tied up "Baidu Earth" was Lin Feng's biggest reliance.
Now that James Cameron has taken the initiative to send it to the door, it would be too sorry for himself if this Hollywood gold medal director didn't make more use of it.
Subsequently, at the appointed time, Lin Feng received James Cameron, a gold medal director, and Spielberg, who accompanied him, in the "Dream Manor" after Ivy.
"Mr. Cameron, I have admired my name for a long time, and it is really my honor to see him today. Lin Feng greeted James Cameron warmly.
"Mr. Lin, your prestige is known all over the world, and at the Oscars, that move is really impressive!" James Cameron sighed.
From ancient times to the present, since the establishment of the "Oscar", no one dared to make such a big statement at the "Oscar" awards ceremony, although it was not that there were no actors or directors who were evilly punished in the past, but most of them swallowed their anger, after all, if you want to mix in this industry, you can't offend people like the "Oscar" organizing committee. But Lin Feng ignored it. If you say that you are offended, you will be offended, and in front of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world, this courage really makes James Cameron admire.
"Hehe, Mr. Cameron, in that case, aren't you afraid that you will be implicated in contacting me?" Lin Feng took the opportunity to ask tentatively.
Although there are hints from Spielberg. This time, James Cameron came to him, probably for the legendary "Avatar", but Lin Feng still wanted to confirm what James Cameron's attitude was towards himself and "Oscar". If he finds "Oscar" in the future, which side will this James Cameron stand on!
James Ka Mellon is also an old man, how can he not understand the meaning of Lin Feng's words. He naturally knew that Lin Feng wanted to use his name or power to embarrass the "Oscar", but he, like Spielberg, was a well-known figure in Hollywood, and their concerns were not as big as Lin Feng imagined, no matter what they did, they only relied on their personal likes and dislikes, and never cared about other people's opinions. Of course. This does not mean that they are willing to be used as a gun by Lin Feng in vain.
"Hehe, Mr. Lin, I'm just a director, and the director's duty is to make movies. Make a good movie. As for the rest, that's none of my business. James Mellon said with a smile. Lin Feng heard this. Eyes lit up. James and Cameron's words revealed two meanings to Lin Feng. The first is that on behalf of James Ten Mellon, he will never intervene in the dispute between Lin Feng and the "Oscar" organizing committee; as for the second meaning, if Lin Feng can help him make a good movie, then he doesn't mind being used by Lin Feng a little. Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, whether Lin Feng can help him make a good film.
But obviously, Lin Feng happened to be able to help him now. Otherwise, he would not have been able to contact Lin Feng through Spielberg.
"Mr. Cameron, then I don't know if I can help?" Lin Feng refilled James Cameron's coffee and directly put the topic into the topic. "Since Mr. Lin is quick to talk, then I'm not welcome. I have a script in my hand that has been carefully planned for several years, but this script not only requires a huge amount of money, but also has a little problem with jishu, and Mr. Lin can help me solve both of these problems!" said James Cameron with great sincerity.
Once it comes to movies, James Mellon seems to have changed as a person, with a face of piety and a face of fanaticism. Maybe people like him were born for movies.
Lin Feng can already see for sure in his heart at this moment, the script that James Cameron said is how popular it will be in the future, but at that time, it was a movie that was concerned about the world, and the box office was definitely not far behind. What's more, he has fallen out with "Oscar" now, and if he wants to take revenge on "Oscar", he can't do without someone like James Cameron.
"Mr. Cameron, I don't know what the script you are talking about, can I have Wei to witness?" Lin Feng asked with a pretending to be very curious.
James Cameron smiled slightly and handed the script that had been prepared to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took over the script from James Cameron very religiously. Although it is said that Lin Feng is this month river. The shadow is just in front of the entertainment of the dissipation, and it is not worth the goods that there is any divine continent "saint." Most of them are artificially added, just hoping that others will pay more attention to them. But in the face of James Cameron, an old man, since he attaches so much importance to this script that may be "Avatar", it doesn't hurt for Lin Feng to be pious. Anyway, piety doesn't want money.
Spielberg on the side looked at the script in Lin Feng's hand. The eyes are also yearning. The script that can make James Cameron so obsessed, Spielberg himself is also very curious. But he is different from Lin Feng, he is a director like James and Cameron, and they are both well-known Hollywood directors. Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, he must not read this script in the hands of James Cameron. Therefore. can only look envious. Lin Feng took the script and took a closer look, and sure enough, that wonderful shijie suddenly appeared in front of Lin Feng's eyes, and he was shocked and moved at first sight. Although Lin Feng knew that there was Avatar, he only heard its voice and did not see its shadow. Lin Feng also knew that "Avatar" was a science fiction movie, and the rest didn't know.
And now after reading the script in the hands of James and Cameron, I feel that this "Avatar" is really a rare good movie, and it actually plays alien love, the earthlings and the people of the planet Fudora fall in love, and they are still reddened, Lin Feng really admires the imagination in the minds of James and Cameron. I really don't know what he thinks, he would actually think that earthlings and aliens would do that, and that earthlings are willing to become aliens. You must know that in the description of the script of "Avatar", the people of this Pandora planet. But it's all blue, I really don't know how the protagonist in the play suffers.
Perverted! Lin Feng sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Mr. Lin. I don't know how you feel about this script?" Although James Cameron himself has great confidence in this "Avatar", he still hopes to be approved by others. It's not that James and Cameron don't have self-confidence, it's that when a person has something very good. They instinctively want to show off and show off in order to gain the approval of others.
And this "Avatar" script is also the first time that James Cameron has taken it out to share it with others, and the excitement can be imagined.
Belch. When Lin Feng heard this, he was stunned for a while. You can't let Lin Feng directly say that this script is very perverted, and the actor is willing to become extremely long with long limbs and a tail. Blue aliens go and talk to aliens**, this is really perverted! Then James Cameron will turn his face.
What's more, seeing James Ten Mellon's gaze so eager to be appreciated by others, Lin Feng couldn't hit this old man.
"Mr. Cameron. I think this drama is good. It can tell us that even if we have great force, we should not be inferior to others.
Shijie needs peace, and it is possible for different races to coexist peacefully. Lin Feng thought for a moment. I'm holding back some reason.
When James Cameron heard this, his eyes flashed. Although what Lin Feng said was only one aspect of this "Avatar", it was already very satisfying to James and Cameron. Since Lin Feng appreciates this "Avatar" so much, James Cameron naturally wants to strike while the iron is hot.
"Mr. Lin, since you appreciate this "Avatar" so much, and your "Second Entertainment" is also a film entertainment company, I wonder if you are willing to invest in this "Avatar"? James scolded Mellon expectantly asked.
Lin Feng nodded, since he let James Ten Mellon come, he would definitely invest. What's more, this "Avatar" was so bang back then, it should be a good box office.
"Mr. Cameron, I wonder how much money you need?. Lin Feng asked casually.
"Not much, it's enough!" James Cameron smiled.
Hearing this, Lin Feng inhaled his cool air. It costs $500 million to make a movie? Did you hear me right? Lin Feng was stunned. You must know that these words that James and Cameron gently spit out in their mouths really shocked Lin Feng.
Not to mention that Lin Feng was frightened, the Hollywood director Spielberg on the side was also stunned. He's made so many films, but never one has cost a dollar. It's horrifying.
"Mr. Cameron, I remember that the most expensive movie to invest in now should be the flying dollar you used to shoot "Titanic"! This time it actually cost to quote a dollar, which has doubled, I heard you right? Are you going to build a "Pandora planet." ?。 Lin Feng had to ask James Cameron to confirm.
Although Lin Feng is rich and shijie rich, most of Lin Feng's funds are stocks, not cash. Unless Lin Feng sells all the shares in his hand, then he can have tens of billions of dollars in cash, but unless he is a fool, no one will be willing to sell all the shares in his hand and be a person with huge cash in his hands. You know, money can depreciate, and some companies will increase in value. Therefore, asking Lin Feng to come up with a one-time quotation of two dollars, this is really a bit enough. Although it is said that Lin Feng is working hard, there is still no problem. But that's a bit much.
Spielberg also nodded secretly on the side, agreeing with Lin Feng's words. Drawing dollars to make a movie is absolutely unimaginable to Spielberg. However, looking at "Yi Ma Lon, it seems that he has made a lot of investment in movies in recent years, and his experience is also very good. This Hollywood director, who is as famous as himself, seems to be gradually moving closer to big investment and big returns.
Aunt Zhan scolded Mellon and also understood Lin Feng's surprise. The budget for this film is very appalling. James Ten Mellon had also looked for some investors, but as soon as they heard that the film was going to be invested, they would be able to invest in it. He immediately retreated. This is also the reason why James Cameron has been writing the script of "Avatar" to this day, and it is still being revised. No one dares to invest!
Although "Titanic" invested trillions of dollars and made a lot of dollars, those investors did not dare to guarantee that this time Cameron's investment would make a billion dollars back. You know, no matter how big a director is. There will be times when you are unlucky or when you encounter Waterloo. In case this film encounters Waterloo, it will not be bad for investors!
"Mr. Lin, there are two reasons why this Avatar needs so much money.
One is that the stunts in the film will be the most stunts ever made, and the second is because I plan to make it into a relaxation movie, and if I want to make a relaxation movie, the cost will be much more expensive than a normal movie. But. Only by making a relaxing movie can it show that "Avatar" will definitely get an absolutely good box office. James said confidently.
Lin Feng looked at James Cameron with a confident face. I really don't have enough confidence in my heart. I am now a little short of money, and after the two banks acquired the shares of "Baidu Portal", in order to ensure normal flow, there is no excess funds to provide to Lin Feng for the time being, after all, neither the "Second Bank" nor the "Standard Bank of South Africa" are completely private banks of Lin Feng, and they also have their own inherent customer bases. It is impossible to completely abandon those customers for the sake of Lin Feng alone. That's not good for the bank. Therefore, it is really a bit difficult for Lin Feng to suddenly take out the quotation dollar now.
What's more, Lin Feng really doesn't know if this "Avatar" will be a blockbuster in the future. If it doesn't sell out, it's a loss. After thinking about it, Lin Feng glanced at Spielberg, hoping that he could give him an opinion. Spielberg naturally received Lin Feng's eyes, but he was not too sure how far this "Avatar" could reach at the moment. After all, he hasn't even read the script at the moment, so he can't make a judgment. Unless he is asked to read the script, maybe he can still deduce a thing or two. However, his identity is absolutely not to see that he has officially started filming.
I thought about it. Spielberg shook his head slightly, indicating that he couldn't give Lin Feng any advice, and this matter could only be solved by Lin Feng himself.
Lin Feng had a headache. After thinking about it, I finally decided to invest. Isn't it just 500 million US dollars, if you really lose it, you will admit it. What's more, before he was reborn, "Avatar" was very mysterious, although there were many movies that were not popular. But Lin Feng didn't believe that he would be so unlucky.
"Mr. Cameron, there is absolutely nothing wrong with me quoting dollars. I have only one small request. Lin Feng said with a smile.
When James Cameron heard that Lin Feng was willing to invest, his face was immediately happy. However, hearing that Lin Feng still had a request, his brows suddenly frowned slightly. He doesn't like people to point fingers when he makes movies. Back then, in order to be able to get rid of the "Future Soldier" in his heart, he sold the script to the producer for US dollars. And Lin Feng made a request at this moment, and James scolded Mellon for being naturally worried about whether Lin Feng would interfere in the filming.
"Hehe, Cameron Xiancang, I will never interfere in the shooting. Since you are a director, from the beginning of the investment to the end of Zuihou, naturally you have the final say. Lin Feng saw at a glance that Aunt James Cameron had no disguised expression at all, and hurriedly explained.
James Cameron nodded. Wait for Lin Feng to follow.
"Hehe, my request is very simple, I just hope that Li Zhiyou and Lin Zhizhi can appear in your movie, not to be the protagonist, just to be a small supporting role. Either way, there must be two. Lin Feng pointed at Li Zhiyou and said.
Li Zhiyou, who was accompanying the wives of James and Cameron and Spielberg, was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lin Feng to suddenly pull the topic to himself, and he also wanted to play a role in this blockbuster film that would attract dollars in investment. You know, this is a Hollywood movie, and maybe it will be a global blockbuster movie in the future. Although it won't be the main character. But being able to have a character in it is exciting in itself.
James Cameron looked at Li Zhiyou and nodded. Li Zhiyou's appearance is good, anyway, the shijie of "Avatar" is the future shijie. The earth has long been unified, and it would not be bad for an Asian to appear. On the contrary, it can be used to win over the Abyss audience.
Seeing James and Cameron nodding, Lin Feng smiled. I boasted that I was going to make a mussel in South Korea for the third year, and I couldn't delay it any longer. And at present, Huang Meixi is wholeheartedly taking her baby Lin Zhixi, so she can only support Li Zhiyou and Lin Zhizhi for the time being. Let it play a role in Hollywood blockbusters. Undoubtedly a shortcut. (To be continued)
