The genius tyrant of the directorial world, except for the famous James Cameron, I am afraid that no one is qualified for this title of the emperor of the world. The films he directed often exceeded the scheduled time and budget, which made the bosses of the film companies hate him to the bitter end, but his works were very popular and often got super high box office, which made the bosses of those film companies love him. Every company boss who uses James Cameron as the director will feel as if he is living in hell during the filming period -- when James Cameron shoots a movie, he doesn't have enough budget! The high cost of filming makes even these wealthy bosses lose their thoughts and tremble for it.

James Cameron is willing to spend money, this is a well-known secret in Hollywood, enjoy life Read the full text. The pursuit of the most extreme visual effects at any cost makes his works extremely imaginative and visually shocking. has repeatedly created the highest box office record in the history of shijie films. And the word "notoriety" is almost inevitably used in every article detailing James Cameron's life -- yes, he was a demanding, tyrannical "tyrant" on the location, an inconsiderate and unpredictable husband in the family, and Cameron was seen by his Hollywood peers as a paranoid and money-burning machine. Of course, when it comes to Zuihou, everyone has to admit that he is one of the most profitable film directors.

"You want to see him?" asked Michael Clayton, hesitantly.

Fang Mingyuan nodded and said, "If 'Jurassic Park' is going to be made into a movie, then the biggest attraction is undoubtedly those resurrected dinosaurs. It is very difficult to shoot this special effect well. And James Cameron, I think his Terminator has already taught me what special effects are. Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" Fang Mingyuan has seen it in his previous life, and he is very interested in knowing that if this script falls into the hands of James Cameron, this rare director who is born in stunt design, and has always put stunt production in an extremely important position in future film creation, and often personally participates in the design and implementation of stunt production, will shoot "Jurassic Park" into what it will look like. In James Cameron's films, the stunt production is not only a visual effect that will leave the audience stunned and excited, but also blends naturally into the plot of the film, without any stiffness or ostentation. And this is exactly what Fang Mingyuan likes the most.

Michael Clayton shook the red wine in his hand and said helplessly: "Fang, I don't want to lie to you, I do know this tyrant, and this tyrant has also proposed to shoot a script adapted from my novel, and I can introduce him to you." But I have to tell you in advance that for James Cameron, the title of 'tyrant' is probably not enough. Although he is talented, his temper is ...... unimaginably poor. He's very, very irritable, and trying to deal with him is not an easy task for everybody. Because you don't know when you're going to provoke him with something about Weishenme, even if it's probably a small thing in the eyes of most others. ”

Fang Mingyuan was not surprised by Michael Clayton's words, in his previous life, he knew that James Cameron's temper was extremely bad, and his marriage could only be called a failure, among the five wives before and after, only Zuihou was able to maintain a long-term relationship with him, and the previous four had only been married to him for a few years.

Linda Hamilton, the heroine of the first and second parts of "The Terminator", was once James Cameron's wife, and she once said to the outside world, "Cameron is a controlling director." We are all his props and have no voice. Words like that. It is also said that Cameron, as a genius, lives in his shijie all day long, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand his thoughts, which is also the fundamental reason why he and every wife cannot maintain a long-term relationship.

And Kate Winslet, who once collaborated with him on "Titanic", once admitted to the outside world that if she did not have a large amount of huge salary, then she would not plan to have any cooperation with Cameron. She admits that Cameron is a good guy, but his temper is too bad. Others even called working with Cameron a nightmare. Because of his bad temper, many people are afraid to avoid him after a short period of cooperation with him.

Fang Mingyuan took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "At this point, you don't have to worry. I was mentally prepared. And you just have to prove to him that I'm not kidding him, that I do have your new ......"

"It's not my new work, it's our new work!" Michael Clayton interrupted Fang Mingyuan's words and solemnly reminded, "It's our new work!"

"Okay!" Fang Mingyuan smiled helplessly, "It's the right to adapt the script of our new work! And I believe there will be enough funds for him to squander!"

James Cameron's bad temper is his nature, even if Fang Mingyuan is reborn, he can't change this. But for those company bosses who hated the problem of profligacy, Fang Mingyuan did not have the same trouble. The reason why they hate this is because James Cameron always makes movies with a large amount of money, and such a high shooting cost makes these bosses always worry that they will not even be able to recover the cost in the future. In Hollywood, there has never been a precedent for investing huge costs and not being able to get back even a fraction of the cost, leading to the collapse of a studio. So on the one hand, these bigwigs are worried about the continuous increase in budgets, and on the other hand, they can't help but comfort themselves with James Cameron's previous achievements. Spending as long as half a year to a year in this mentality of suffering from gains and losses is indeed a great torment.

But Fang Mingyuan is different, because he clearly knows which films will bring back huge box office returns to him, and this return is often twice or even several times the cost, so no matter how much money James Cameron spends, he will only have a headache about how to fundraise, without worrying about losing all his money.

In 1984, "The Terminator" earned $36 million at a cost of $6.5 million at the box office, and won unanimous praise from fans and critics, making James Cameron famous and gaining wide attention from the film industry. Since then, James Cameron's achievements have been hard to look at. His play with Stallone, "First Blood II," also achieved spectacular box office success in the United States. And "Terminator II" won four Oscars and $200 million at the domestic box office in the United States in one fell swoop, which shocked the entire United States. In this film, James Cameron brings his directing and editing talents to good use.

After that, James Cameron set up his own stunt production company in 1993, and he has no impression of what Fang Mingyuan is called, but he knows that in Hollywood, he can compete with Lucas's industrial light and magic stunt production company. And its first film directed by James Cameron was "True Lies", which is familiar to Chinese people. The film succeeds in tapping into the humorous potential of action star Schwarzenegger, but it is the Sea Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighter at the end that makes the most impressive impression.

The scene of the "Maverick" missile firing at the cross-sea bridge against the backdrop of the sea and sky is both spectacular and magnificent, and has the same realism as a military exercise, while the subsequent fight on the wings takes on a complex and exaggerated cartoon style. As a director, James Cameron was able to choose this unique weapon to play an "important role" in the film, and to make the most of its charm.

And the two highest-grossing movies in movie box office history, "Titanic" and "Avatar", were both directed by him. "Titanic", the most expensive film in the history of cinema at that time, miraculously and unprecedentedly sold out, making it a banner of Hollywood in the history of Shijie films, and James Cameron has also reached the peak of Shijie commercial films. In the end, it topped the global box office with more than $1.8 billion, becoming the No. 1 grossing single film in the history of the world and North America, and maintained this record for nearly 12 years, until James Cameron's other film "Avatar" was staged, which replaced it with an astonishing global box office of more than $2.5 billion. And until Fang Mingyuan's death in his previous life, these two films were still the highest-grossing and most successful commercial films in history.

Fang Mingyuan didn't know the cost of "Avatar", but he knew that the cost of "Titanic" was more than $200 million at that time, which worried Twentieth Century Fox. For this reason, James Cameron also had to give up his directorial pay. But after the film was staged, James Cameron's dividends were as high as $100 million. The difference between the cost and the box office is nearly seven times, and the revenue from the licensing of those incidental products makes "Titanic" a gold mine that countless people in the film industry envy.

With these information from his previous life as a backing, Fang Mingyuan's use of James Cameron can be said to have no psychological pressure. And he believes that James Cameron, who is always struggling with a lack of budget, will also be interested in a boss with a lot of money.

Fang Mingyuan has calculated, if everything goes well with his oil futures, he can at least get a billion dollars of income from the oil futures market, and if these incomes want to enter China, it will take a lot of hands and feet and effort, and what is more troublesome is that once he enters China, he has to change it to RMB, and then he wants to exchange it from RMB to US dollars for overseas transportation, which is even more difficult. So the money can only come in slowly in batches. And putting these money in foreign banks is undoubtedly the most stupid thing to do, so he needs to find a new investment direction for them before they are officially used.

And the film industry will undoubtedly be a very good choice. It is possible to obtain both huge profits and great prestige. And to achieve a steady stream of profits that can still be obtained by licensing the broadcast many years later.

And if he's not mistaken, "Terminator II" is likely to start filming this year, and it would be even more perfect to be able to step into it again. Fang Mingyuan is not worried that James Cameron will reject his investment, because he remembers that the film's investors are not only American studios, but also South Korea's Samsung. This made a deep impression on him at first. Compared with South Korea's Samsung, Fang Mingyuan feels that the investment from Hong Kong may be more satisfying to them.

"Well, if you insist, then naturally I won't reject your opinion after the latest chapter. Michael Clayton shrugged, "Would you like to see you now?"

"Now?" Fang Mingyuan was taken aback.

"The tyrant is now less than a hundred kilometres from me, and three days ago he had just spoken to me on the phone, trying to get out of my mouth and wonder if I had any new works. I think he's supposed to be there right now preparing his new film. Michael Clayton smiled slyly, "It seems, Fang, you're in luck." ”

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded and dumbfounded, such a bloody coincidence could actually be bumped into by himself?

Michael Clayton is right, the tyrant he calls is now racking his brains on his new play, Terminator II, on a country estate eighty-one kilometers away from him. Although, when he first came here, out of politeness, and of course a bit of luck, he called Michael Clayton to visit his home and to hear if the famous American best-selling author had a new book. Michael Clayton, the name, is, to some extent, also a guarantee of the movie's box office. His huge readership in the United States and Europe is a group that every director cannot ignore.

However, Michael Clayton was tight-lipped that he did not hear the slightest clue, and Michael Clayton politely declined his visit. This annoyed him a little.

And now, he is even more upset, always in a critical state of outbreak, there are several important settings in "Terminator II", and he has always been a little undecided, which has caused his script creation to be seriously stuck.

There was a few soft knocks on the door, and his assistant walked in.

"What's the matter? Didn't I say it, don't bother me during this time?" said James Cameron almost snarled.

But the assistant only used one sentence to calm James Cameron. "Sir, Mr. Michael Clayton's phone number. ”
