The total box office performance of "Terminator 2" in North America and Hong Kong has exceeded the $100 million mark, and judging from the feedback back, there are still long queues in front of the theaters in both places, and fans' enthusiasm for "Terminator 2" has not diminished in the slightest, but has a growing trend over time. Some people in the media have begun to predict whether the final box office of "Terminator 2" will break through the $300 million mark.

The box office in North America and Hong Kong is soaring, and for fans in other countries, it undoubtedly makes them look forward to the release of "Terminator 2" even more. For example, some fans in Europe and Japan, in order to see "Terminator 2" in advance, even did not hesitate to fly to North America or Hong Kong to watch, and their admiration after returning to China made fans in these countries look forward to the release of the film even more.

In order to welcome the landing of "Terminator 2" in Japanese theaters, Japanese theaters have started the pre-sale of movie tickets in advance at the strong request of the people, and in just three days, all movie tickets in theaters in major regions of Japan have been sold out within a week. But even so, it still can't satisfy the enthusiasm of the Japanese for "Terminator 2". In private, those fans who are eager to watch "Terminator 2" first candid, and the bids have even reached more than ten times the normal movie tickets, but even so, many times there is no price.

Due to the importance attached to the Japanese film market, not only most of the actors will attend this premiere, but even Cameron himself has temporarily put aside the preparations for "Jurassic Park" and flew to Tokyo to participate in this premiere.

"James, you're roasting me on the fire," Fang Mingyuan said to Cameron helplessly. With the box office of "Terminator 2" going all the way up, and with the media's speculation about the final box office, it has been increased again and again, and now it has reached an incredible $300 million, and the value of the crew members of "Terminator 2" is naturally rising, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton have jumped into the ranks of Hollywood's first-class male and female stars, and child star Edward Furlong has also become a new child star in Hollywood because of his outstanding performance in the film. The rest of the actors have also improved to varying degrees. And what people pay the most attention to is naturally the mysterious screenwriter and director - "Fang".

"Fang, this is what you deserve, you Oriental people are too modest," Cameron patted Fang Mingyuan's shoulder with a smile and said, "What's yours is yours, if you count those in my name, I won't be able to feel at peace." But don't worry, I've already given an order to shut up in the crew, if anyone dares to disobey the order and leak your identity, he won't want to mix in the film industry again in his life Moreover, Goyle also gave an order in the Emerald Bird Film Company that no one is allowed to reveal your identity to the outside world. So you can rest assured."

The reason why Cameron did this was that they would not understand Fang Mingyuan's true thoughts, secondly, it was also to avoid the blow to his reputation caused by the leakage of news after a long time in the future, and third, it was also to curry favor with Fang Mingyuan. Let him say this, what else could Fang Mingyuan say at this time, he could only shake his head and sigh.

"Huh, isn't the beautiful Ms. Yu here?" Cameron noticed at this time that it was not Yu Qiuxuan he had seen sitting in the Kumho Film Company's seat.

"Sister Qiu Xuan has a lot of affairs, and I don't have time to come, so she asked me to say hello to you. Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Cameron, of course, was grateful.

The conversation between the two naturally turned to "Terminator 2". Not to mention that these media feel unexpected, even Cameron himself was really taken aback by this high box office. In just over a week, the box office in North America and Hong Kong alone has exceeded 100 million US dollars, and such a result is also something he did not expect in advance. As for Goyle and the executives of the Emerald Bird Film Company, they are now holding the statistical report every day, and they can't keep their mouths shut. Within Emerald Bird Films, there are now many people who believe that the global box office of "Terminator 2" should not be a problem to exceed $300 million

"$300 million, to be honest, it sounds like a dream," Cameron said without hesitation, "If that's the case, it should be the top box office in North America this year."

Fang Mingyuan smiled, but didn't say anything. He knows that in his previous life, the total global box office of "Terminator 2" reached more than $500 million, and $300 million, which must not be its end. And after the release of "Terminator 2", the media and fans received rave reviews, and it was rated as the most haode movie sequel in film history, ending the history of movie sequels generally inferior to the first episode. It has truly achieved "fame and fortune".

is more than ten years later, after the number of box office champions in the Shijie movie ranking changed hands, the box office ranking of "Terminator" also slipped from the first place that year to more than 40, but it has to be mentioned that there are only four movies produced earlier than "Terminator 2" before it, namely the second and third episodes of "Star Wars" and "Ghost Love". This shows the success of "Terminator 2".

"James, in this way, you are at a loss, and it is better to take the director's fee than to take the box office," Fang Mingyuan joked to him.

"Haha, that's true, but before that, who would have thought that Terminator 2 would be such a big success," Cameron shrugged. You must know that before the release of "Terminator 2", due to its production cost of more than 100 million US dollars, many media believed that "Terminator 2" was likely to not recover its cost and become a huge financial black hole for Emerald Bird Films. At that time, both Emerald Bird Films and Cameron himself were under tremendous pressure.

If "Terminator 2" is a box office tragedy, then whether it is Emerald Bird Films or Cameron, it will be a major setback in his career

"Fang, but speaking of which, I think you've always been very confident," Cameron said, "How do I think you, as if you've never been worried, "Terminator 2" box office miserable, as if your $60 million investment can't be recovered." ”

Fang Mingyuan patted Cameron on the back and said softly: "You are the director, I don't worry" He has nothing to worry about, although Cameron has always had to make movies with additional investment, but he invested a lot and got back just as much. In his previous life, the billion-dollar box office masterpieces "Titanic" and "Avatar" were all his works, and with such a strong capital as the foundation, Fang Mingyuan had nothing to worry about.

Cameron naturally didn't understand where Fang Mingyuan's confidence came from, and would only think that it was because of Fang Mingyuan's trust in his ability. Although Americans don't know what it means to "die for those who know it", Cameron is also quite excited to get such an unconditional "trust" from Fang Mingyuan.

"Ah, by the way, James, is Arnold coming to Tokyo this time?" Fang Mingyuan suddenly remembered.

"He's coming, he's the protagonist, how can he not come. Arnold has really stepped into the ranks of Hollywood's first-class movie stars this time," Cameron laughed, "and he is very grateful to you." However, I think what he's looking forward to more is your script."

"The script is not a problem, I already have an outline, but do you have time?" Fang Mingyuan asked rhetorically, "How many actors have been selected from "Jurassic Park"?"

"God, you've already thought of his script?" Cameron said depressedly, "Fang, you are simply a genius screenwriter, I really can't imagine how you can write so many scripts in such a short time." And being able to juggle such a big industry, seeing your results, to be honest, I'm jealous. ”

Fang Mingyuan smiled dumbly, in his previous life, I am afraid he would never have dreamed that one day, the genius director James Cameron would say in person that he was jealous of his talent. "Well, James, you're the one who makes me jealous. As long as human beings don't perish, as long as the film industry doesn't die, your Cameron name will forever remain in film history, and I, more like a passerby. The professional is the most haode, isn't it?"

"Are you interested in majoring?" Cameron laughed, "At your age, even if you start from scratch now, you have no problem at all." I believe that with your money and current reputation, there is no problem directing one or two movies independently, right?" Cameron had already discovered that Fang Mingyuan's scripts had always been very non-standardized, not so much a script, but a detailed record of the plot in his mind...... As long as there is a knowledgeable director, holding his script, and a few good actors, almost all of them can be filmed. Although it may not be comparable to Shijie's well-known directors in terms of details or realm, it is impossible to become a bad movie.

Fang Mingyuan waved his hand again and again, making some international jokes and making himself a director, he didn't think he had that talent. Besides, even if there is, he will be "castrated" by the Film Censorship Bureau on the land of China, and if he has to go abroad to make movies, what is the point? Looking at him like this, Cameron did not stick to this topic.

"Fang, do you want to reserve a few seats for you at this year's Oscars?" Cameron asked with a smile. Although he doesn't think that "Terminator 2" can win the most important statuettes in the Oscars, he believes that "Terminator 2" will not go home empty-handed.

"That's great, you have to leave me a few" Fang Mingyuan's eyes lit up and said, in his previous life, he watched the Oscars on TV, and it was not bad to go and see the live version in this life

"Hey, look, Arnold is here"
