Chapter 550: Cameron takes the bait

Fang Mingyuan and his entourage, naturally they didn't know that there was such a conspiracy waiting for Uda Mitsuri in the Luzhihu Hotel. They are enjoying the delicious fish of the lake in Hakone-machi-port, a small town on the shores of Lake Ashi. Sure enough, as Aso Kazuki said, the fish is tender and delicate, and it tastes full of aftertaste and aftertaste.

After lunch, before they could walk out of the restaurant, a dark cloud drifted by, and it began to rain on Lake Ashi, and the rain was not heavy, but the fog rising from the mountains around Lake Ashi made the whole area foggy, and not long ago, you could still see Lake Ashi on the other side, but at this time it seemed to be vast. Such a beautiful scenery, but compared to it, it gives people a different feeling. The ferry, coming from across the lake, slowly emerged from the mist.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "James, look at that ship, the current scene, is it a bit of a pirate at sea." Everyone burst out laughing.

Although the rain was not very heavy, the group did not bring an umbrella, Fang Mingyuan simply called the proprietress and set up a big umbrella on the platform in front of the tavern, and everyone drank coffee and tea, delighted with the beautiful scenery of Lake Ashi after the rain.

"It's still very difficult to make such an effect with a computer," Cameron suddenly sighed.

"It won't take long, ten years at most, for the jishu of computer movie special effects to be enough to complete a picture like this." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "It's just that the cost will be very high." At that time, I am afraid that the cost of special effects production will occupy a large part of the cost of the movie."

Cameron shrugged and said, "This is what you Chinese people say, if you have what you get, then you must have to pay." But if real special effects production has reached the point where it can be fake, even if it costs a lot of money, I think people like to watch it. Personally, I have always thought that the reason why "Star Wars" was able to achieve such a good box office result that year was that the special effects were refreshing and accounted for a very important position. ”

Fang Mingyuan deeply agrees with Cameron's assertion, among the blockbusters in the 90s, such as "Forrest Gump", "Schindler's List", "Inception" and other films, it can be said that they still win with plots, as for "Heaven and Earth Collision", "2012", and "Transfigurative Steel" can almost be said to rely on special effects to attract audiences. Even Cameron's future "Avatar", Fang Mingyuan thinks that there is this suspicion. Although after watching the movie, in addition to those big scenes that make you feel unforgettable, the connotation it wants to express is pale and weak, but people have also made money, and they have made a lot of money.

Compared with these movies, Fang Mingyuan feels that the first two parts of the "Terminator" series and the first two parts of "Jurassic Park" combine stunts and ideological connotations better, so that after watching them, people will reflect on the balance between Jishu and humans, and think about the terrible consequences that may be brought about by the abuse of high-tech Jishu development, which is a perfect movie.

Of course, Fang Mingyuan also understands that this is not because these filmmakers are short-sighted, but because of the rapid development of the film jishu, they have no time to take care of both for a while. And the audience's preference for special effects blockbusters also indirectly contributed to this result. As long as the scene is grand enough and shocking enough, the social environment in which box office income cannot be low determines that both film companies and directors will more or less ignore the ideology of the film. Hong Kong movies also walked this old path back then. In the future, after the production of special effects encounters a bottleneck in development, audiences who are tired of watching movies with grand special effects scenes and pale plot ideology will naturally force film companies and directors to change the practice of relying on movie special effects to win the world.

"Fang, it seems that this rain can't stop for a moment, why don't you talk about your idea of "Pirates of the Caribbean"?" Cameron said with a smile.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this is what does one line of love, any one of the possible haode scripts, this one is not willing to let go.

"Yes, yes, Fang Jun, let's talk about it" Uda Mitsuri also echoed on the side. Since you can't get a role out of it, listening to it in advance is also a good conversation in the future.

Fang Mingyuan smiled slightly: "Okay, okay, it's just an outline, don't think it's a rough plot." Well...... It is said that in medieval Central America and the Caribbean, due to the development of the maritime industry in the Age of Discovery, there were many ships traveling between the Americas and Europe every year, so one of the oldest professions in the world, piracy, also flourished. And in the Caribbean at that time, there was such a group of pirates...... They plundered the cursed Aztec gold coins and were cursed by evil, becoming skeletons that could not satisfy everything, unable to die, unable to taste the delicious food and water of the world, and had to taste the torment of hunger and thirst all the time, and they also had a characteristic that they would show their prototypes in the moonlight......" With Fang Mingyuan's soft voice, not only Uda Mitsuri and them, but even Cameron were deeply attracted by this story.

The pirates could no longer endure this inhumane ordeal and decided to return the plundered Aztec gold coins to avoid the curse. But then they realized that there was an Aztec coin that was not in their possession, so they began to search for it from port to port along the Caribbean coast. Because only by obtaining this gold coin and using the blood of its holder can they break this curse that is extremely painful for them, and for this reason, they do not hesitate to wash the entire Caribbean coast in blood......"

As the story slowly deepens, Uda Mitsuri and they can't help but worry about the hero's dangerous encounter, how to eliminate this group of murderous pirates, but they don't have a clue.

"Fang Jun, since these pirates can't die, like you said, they can't be killed even if they pierce their hearts, so how can they win the battle?" Taking Fang Mingyuan's kung fu of stopping to drink water, Uda Guangli couldn't help but say. These pirates in Fang Mingyuan's story are just like those undead zombies in the legend.

"Yes, but I haven't heard a priest or a priest in the story. Is the combat power of these two sides completely unbalanced" Aso Kazuki also said softly.

"Haha......" Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing, this is the charm of the story, at this time, I'm afraid that except for the original creators and the members of the crew, no one can imagine how these pirates were finally eliminated. It is precisely this question that makes the audience sit honestly in the cinema and continue to watch.

Cameron frowned slightly, Fang Mingyuan carefully depicted a few key special effects selling points, with today's jishu, if you want to achieve it perfectly, it is indeed difficult not to say anything else, just the scene where everyone turned into skeletons in the moonlight was enough to make the special effects production staff feel sick. The trick of turning people into skeletons, it is not unheard of in previous movies, but that kind of thing, the audience can see that it is a person pretending to be a person at a glance, and it is difficult to achieve what Fang Mingyuan said seamlessly, and I am afraid that it is not possible to do it if you have money Cameron really realized at this time that Fang Mingyuan would say that it would take a few years.

"Jurassic Park", "True Lies", "Pirates of the Caribbean", and the "Speed of Life and Death" that Fang Mingyuan once mentioned although he never talked about it in detail, Cameron now only feels that he is lacking in skills.

"Fang, I hate you" Cameron suddenly waved his fist and said loudly, listening to the other people present, everyone's hearts couldn't help but rise, Cameron, what's wrong, why did he suddenly pop out of his head. Even Fang Mingyuan himself was stunned, and he didn't understand where he had offended him.

"There are so many good scripts, how can you let me shoot them" Cameron's next sentence made everyone immediately relieved.

"Fang, I can tell you, "Pirates of the Caribbean" must be directed by me in the future" Cameron grabbed Fang Mingyuan's hand and said solemnly. With such a challenging script, Cameron naturally deserves it

"No problem, James, we're good friends, this fat doesn't flow into outsiders' fields, does it?" Fang Mingyuan's heart blossomed. This is not the same between asking for people and being begged. Not only did he get the promise of Cameron's director, but he also landed a personal favor, which was very affordable

Cameron breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he knew that since Fang Mingyuan had told him that there was this script and said so much, then the eight achievements of this script were prepared for himself, but without Fang Mingyuan's clear promise, he was not steady.

"However, James, if you want to direct this movie, then the special effects production company has to hurry up, when will Jishu mature, when will we start filming" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Fang" Cameron immediately raised his tone, "That's also your company"

"Well, it's mine, it's yours, after all, it's more your James, but you're the major shareholder, so you don't care who cares?" Fang Mingyuan said with an indifferent face, "Otherwise, let's discuss, I will be the major shareholder of the company, then I will bother to find someone to take care of it." ”

Cameron was completely speechless, it is really rare for an investor like Fang Mingyuan to let go and take no power. People are eager to sit in a key position in the company, but he is good, he can ignore it, only issue requirements, as for how to complete it, all left to himself

"James, remember to help me train computer talents, help me poach people from the Soviet Union, and help me make money from Hollywood studios" Fang Mingyuan smiled like a little fox who had just stolen a chicken.
