Since investing in "The Terminator", Li Xu has been troubled by a problem, how to maximize the use of Cameron's favors. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If it's just a small fight, it will definitely waste Cameron's ability, but if you want to make a big deal, there is no suitable theme.

And the longer this kind of favor drags on, the more difficult it is to deal with, especially after the big ship, if you mess up the box office casually, it will be a huge loss for any big-name director - although he will definitely be able to make enough compensation at that time, but after all, it is not beautiful.

So, when he left from his father that day, Li Xu suddenly had an idea.

It is always said that half a step ahead of the times is a genius, and one step ahead of the times is a madman, so it's always okay for us to be one step ahead or even a few steps ahead in the movie, right?

When people feel novel and chaotic after watching such a movie, and denounce it as rhapsody and delusional, and then watch it again after 30 years, and lose a bunch of jaws, there is definitely nothing like that sourness.

If the reborn doesn't show their superiority as a reborn, then what is the reborn for? If you have doubts, come and arrest me!

This kind of movie is completely a brain hole, and then handed over to others to deal with, and it takes a very good director to grasp it, just like "Mirror" is to Xu Ke, so Cameron didn't run.

However, in order to make a good story, Li Xu also took great pains, not only to have a sense of substitution, but also to show the future of New York and the people's lives to the greatest extent, and to have enough storytelling, which is not easy.

Completely filming as science fiction and writing about someone's life in the future is a bit far away. If it is made as a life film, is there any difference between it and an ordinary emotional movie?

So he chose a suspense film or a crime film, and also took Sherlock Holmes to a time and space journey, from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century.

No way, this is the most well-known detective in the eyes of American audiences, and if it is Hercule Poirot, very few people will know it, even if "Tragedy on the Nile" has only been released for 5 years, if it is replaced by the more secluded Yasin Robin...... Wait to fight in the streets.

Of course, of course, the focus of the new movie is the near-future world, but there is a Sherlock Holmes bonus, as well as a gimmick that travels through time and space, which always arouses the interest of the audience.

Since Li Xu wants to make such a movie, he must let more people recognize it.

Moreover, just as new technology is always military, the technology used by the police, compared to the civilian, must also be further developed, so that there are more points to watch, DNA identification technology can be taken out in a grand manner, and some plots of CSI can also be used.

So there was the outline he told Cameron.

But the specifics have to be said after the screenwriter gets the script, Cameron is still busy with the later stages of "The Terminator", but it's basically the same, and there's no problem with him supervising it.

In addition, whether it is a notebook or a mobile phone, it is no problem to make a shell, but it is very troublesome to show the picture, either pile up the hardware and then connect it externally, or directly hand-draw, no matter which one costs money - of course, we are not afraid of spending money.

By the way, I use Apple for notebooks and mobile phones, but I am now a shareholder of Apple, and it will not be released until a few years later, Dell, Cisco, and Qualcomm are almost coming out, plus Oracle, and put them all in.

Oh, and Yahoo and Google, I don't know if this movie will be released in this time and space, and whether Yang Zhiyuan, Sergei Brin, and Larry Page will use these two names in the future.

As for the collapse of the USSR or something, if the movie is released in 87, and the location is a map of Go, there will be no problem at all.

Well, there are too many ideas and too far away. Li Xu tapped his head and focused on the party.

After a bit of a conversation with Cameron, he started walking around the party, greeting people he didn't know.

The party, which was held on a mansion in Beverly Hills, seemed to be the home of a Columbia Pictures executive, and though it wasn't the kind of party that could come and go as soon as it wanted, it was still attended by a large number of people, and none of them were of low status.

The reason why Li Xu came to participate was not only to talk to Cameron, but more importantly, to meet Michael Eisner, who also came to the party.

Such a meeting has been held many times in the past year, and it is self-evident what to do, Li Xu did not reveal much, but Eisner is also an old fox, and basically did not make a clear statement.

However, as the Big Three of Paramount, he definitely knows Li Xu better than others, so he still shows a certain interest in his wooing.

Li Xu is not in a hurry, if you are too eager to negotiate this kind of thing, you will fall into disadvantage. When Barry Diller was poached by Murdoch to become a television network, and he didn't choose an heir, Michael Eisner should think about himself.

Speaking of this, Li Xu has some regrets, it would be good if Diller continued to stay in Paramount, if he was willing to listen to himself, it would be better to make Paramount a second Warner.

But who made Diler prefer to be a TV network, Li Xu doesn't have enough capital to convince him now, and not everyone can stand in the downstream of history to see things like him.

Even if media conglomerate will become the consensus of people like Daddy, it is not now.

Shrugged his shoulders and turned around again, Li Xu was about to leave, he had already talked to Eisner before talking nonsense with Cameron, and now there is nothing to do, maybe he can go.

It just so happened that Gong Xue and Zhu Ling also came back from their visit, so wouldn't it be beautiful to let them continue to use some words to play the fun of the boudoir?

Then a voice came from the side: "Hello, is it Mr. Li?"

"Are you ......" Li Xu turned around, and then showed a little surprise, "Mr. Michael Jackson?"

"I'm Michael Jackson," said Jackson, who was standing in front of him, smiling, "and it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Edward Lee." ”

"Is there anything wrong?" Li Xu shook his hand politely.

"I'm here to thank you," Jackson smiled wider, "thank you for 'Beat it,' I love this song so much." ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Xu reacted, okay, if he didn't mention it, he would have forgotten this song.

"It's a gesture," he waved his hand, "I'll help my friend collect the song, this song is very good, but it's not for her, I happened to hear "Off The Wall" again, I like your voice and singing, so I'll ask someone to pass it on to you." ”

"This song gave me a lot of courage, Mr. Lee," Jackson said, in a very serious tone, "for you it is just a gesture, but for me it is a strong support when I am most confused." ”

"Oh?" Li Xu raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, my new album "Thriller", which I released at the end of last year, was actually almost ready in '80, just waiting to be recorded. "But I always felt that it wasn't good enough, and the songs were so weird and the arrangements were so bad that I asked the company not to release them." Later, when my mood calmed down, I started to collect songs and arrange music again, but it didn't go well, and there were few people to support me, so I started to get more and more frustrated. ”

At this point, he paused, followed by a deep breath: "At this time, I received the song "Beat it", as well as the tape of the audition...... I don't know how to describe it, but I felt like I saw a light coming down from heaven, and this song was made for it. I felt like God hadn't abandoned me, so I did my best to revamp the album, which led to last year's best-selling "Thriller." ”

Jackson owed slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Li, if it weren't for this song you gifted, maybe I would still be in the dark and don't know how long I will be confused." ”

"You're welcome," Li Xu twitched the corners of his mouth, "I just gave it to you casually, and I didn't think too much about it." ”

"You don't charge a penny, and you don't let anyone tell me about you, and it's the first time I've seen such a noble act in the music industry. Jackson changed his honorifics, "I want to find a way to get your news, but you're often not in Los Angeles, so I'm only seeing you now, and I still hope to pay the copyright fees." ”

"No, if you really want to show it, donate the money to those charities. Li Xu waved his hand and said.

It's really naïve and cute, but then again, if he wasn't naïve, he wouldn't have achieved that kind of achievement, after all, people who can make achievements in art are more emotional. It's a pity that no one is perfect, there will always be black spots, and once you are caught, it will be much easier to get black for a while, and then splash dirty water.

To be honest, when Li Xu threw "Beat.it" out, he didn't expect such a scene as it is now.

He is purely out of one, how to say it, since Deng Lijun is not very suitable, let's return it to its original owner. So I didn't ask for a penny, and I directly asked someone to give it to Jackson, and told him not to disclose his information, but instead let this innocent guy come to the door.

"MJ, so you're here!" Just as he was talking a few words, Li Xu was thinking about how to say goodbye, when a crisp voice came.

When I turned my head, I saw a tall and beautiful girl running over quickly, with long brown hair, delicate facial features, and large eyes, with a looming flattery.

Li Xu recognized at a glance who it was, Brooke Shields, or Brooke Shells, oh, according to the translation of this era, it should be called Brooke Xiaosi.

"Hey, Booker. Jackson immediately opened his arms and hugged her.

"Can you do me a favor, MJ, and when my mom comes to me, can you tell her that you can get me back by 10 o'clock?" Brooke said, ignoring that there was still someone around, and immediately took Jackson's hand.

"Calm down, Booker," Jackson said soothingly, "what's going on?"

"It's nothing, it's just ......," the girl gestured meaninglessly, with a frustrated expression, "I just want to go back a little later, but my mother insists that I go with me." ”

As soon as the words fell, another female voice came: "Booker, how did you get here?"

Then a middle-aged woman, who was somewhat similar to Brooke, appeared in front of them, her demeanor was very elegant, but her expression was a little arrogant and irresistible.
