In the Beverly Hills Hotel, or is it the one with Matt? Damon's private room where he drank and chatted, but this time the people in it changed, not only Xiao Lizi, but also the card god. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Liu Anran came here, he felt that fate was really magical, and today he thought of the card god, and then he saw the card god, is this thinking of the card god, is the card god here?

"Andy, you won't welcome me as an uninvited guest, will you?" Cameron looked at Liu Anran, who was a little surprised, and asked with a smile.

"You say that, what do I do? When I watched "Titanic" in Huaxia, I secretly went to the cinema. Liu Anran said with a wry smile.

It can be said that the name of the card god is really not called in vain, it is really a masterpiece. Of course, the kung fu of the card god scourge money is also first-class.

"I met him today, and I heard that he was going to join one of your films, so I was very interested, so I came over to watch it. It won't affect your conversation, will it? Cameron asked with a smile.

"Leonardo, this is the script, you take a look at it first, and then we'll talk. However, this script is not finalized, and there will be some changes to the details, which will not be finalized until I meet with the real gangsters. Liu Anran stuffed the script to Leonardo and pulled a chair and sat next to Cameron.

"I've seen your films, they're all very good, and 'Pirates of the Caribbean' shows fantastic colors and creativity." Cameron said with a smile.

"That's not my credit, a lot of people helped me a lot when I made this film. It's not like the ones you photographed, which really started out of nothing. Liu Anran said very modestly.

He and Spielberg can smile because the two sides are very familiar, and the relationship with Cameron has not yet reached that level.

"Andy, lately everyone has been saying that as long as you have a good script on your side, you can let the director prepare it himself?" Cameron asked with a smile.

Liu Anran's heart fluttered uncontrollably, he felt that this might be Cameron looking for investment in "Avatar", and he had to grasp everything he said.

"That's true." Liu Anran nodded, "MGM needs a lot of high-quality films to impress the audience and make the audience pay attention again." Instead of just feeling like he was a company that was about to go bankrupt, as he used to be. We did a series of integrations, and what was missing the most was quality work. ”

"If I have a script here and I'm going to use my recently developed technology to shoot a 3D sci-fi film, would you be interested in investing in it? However, this technology is not very mature at present, and the real shooting will wait until this technology matures. Cameron hesitated for a moment and said.

"And there are a lot of supporting equipment for this technology, and the shooting cost is a bit high. It can be said that most of the scenes in the whole film are completed with CG special effects. ”

He also has his own difficulties, although his "Titanic" has achieved unprecedented success, but the investment in the film is really large.

I wrote the script for this film a long time ago, but the technology at that time was not very mature, and I couldn't shoot it even if I wanted to.

But now, with the support of Sony, this set of dual-camera shooting technology has been developed, but the investment cost has also increased a lot.

I am also a person who pursues perfection, and all the shots must be satisfactory to myself. And this time the film has to match the CG effect when shooting, and the shooting time is estimated to be short.

It's not that he didn't think about going to the film companies he used to work with to attract investment, but thinking about the possible investment amount, he himself was a little unconfident.

The production cost of this film calculated in his own mind, even if he saves a little money, may have to exceed 250 million US dollars, which is still a conservative figure, and the shooting cycle is too long, I am afraid that the investor really does not have the patience to take risks and wait.

This was the worry in his heart, but Liu Anran didn't think so in his heart.

However, in order to determine whether it is "Avatar" or not, and not to be so abrupt, Liu Anran still said, "You always have to let me read the general script first, and I also have to think about the future scene." ”

Cameron nodded, took out a stack of manuscripts in his backpack, and Liu Anran also took it with great importance.

Seeing the title on the manuscript, Liu Anran frowned, "880 Project"? What the hell is this? What about the Avatar that was said to be good?

He was stunned for a moment, and then he opened it and continued to read, and when he saw the introduction at the beginning, his mind was settled. Although the current name is "880 Project", the meat in it is undoubtedly "Avatar". I guess the old man changed the name when he was filming, but this matter has nothing to do with me, just the right version.

After patiently flipping through these manuscript papers, Liu Anran put them away and put them on the table, "I can invest in this film, how much does it cost?" ”

"About $200 million, maybe a little more." Cameron said with a smile.

"When will the shooting start?" Liu Anran nodded and then asked.

"We have to wait because the new technology is not very mature now, and if we shoot now, the effect will be worse. And I also have to choose more locations around the world to find a location that I can shoot that I am happy with. Cameron said, shaking his head.

He really can't guarantee this, but in the case that the film is not roughly determined, he can't run around the world looking for scenes. Because you may find a scene, but you can't find an investor, and in another two years, maybe the selected scene will no longer meet your own standards.

"The investment of 200 million US dollars, in a film where special effects account for nearly 60%, is really not much, or even very little." Liu Anran thought for a moment and said.

"The special effects are all money-burning, and the production cost of our upcoming "Spider-Man 2" has reached 200 million US dollars. And this film also has to take into account the salary of the actors you choose, if there are more big-name actors, 200 million will definitely not be enough. ”

"Well, I can give you an investment of $300 million, and it's up to you when to start preparing and when to start shooting."

"Don't be surprised, I don't want to make an extra $100 million because I promised you $200 million now, and then you don't have enough money to shoot and ask me to add more, and then $100 million won't be so easy to make. When I make a shooting plan, I will give you more in advance. ”

Cameron smiled a little embarrassedly, it seemed that he really had a reputation.
