Chapter 172: Low-profile version of "The Terminator"
The movie "Terminator" is Cameron's brainchild, and naturally it needs to be perfect, so Han Ziguang actually doesn't want to participate too much.
It's just that Han Ziguang has a lot of experience in later generations, so he knows how to choose the role of the movie, and the selection of the role can save Cameron a lot of time, after all, time is money, and he doesn't want to waste more time on casting.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is the villain role tailored for "The Terminator", but Nicolas Cage is played by Reese and Brooke Ace plays the heroine, also to make the movie full of watchability, after all, Brooke Ace is still very well-known in the United States at this time.
Han Ziguang also has a preliminary structure, after all, the control of the entire movie is in Cameron's hands, and he is just as a producer to put forward some opinions, after all, Cameron has mentioned before that the whole movie must be led by Cameron, and he can only mention some of them even if he is a producer.
Of course, Han Ziguang was able to give Cameron so much freedom entirely because he believed in Cameron's strength, otherwise, no one would have given a director so much power, in fact, it is precisely because of this that it is not easy for Cameron to make a movie on his own.
Cameron naturally knows the situation himself, although he doesn't care on the surface, but in his heart he is very grateful to Han Ziguang, it is precisely because of Han Ziguang's support that he can do his best to make a movie, and he also knows this, so he will not hesitate to go to Han Ziguang's big ship.
Cameron will still listen to Han Ziguang's every opinion, he is indeed a bull temper, but it doesn't mean that he can't listen to advice. What's more, Cameron still admires Han Ziguang very much now, and he can basically control everything in his hands, which is really admirable.
"Susan! These actors find a way to find and let them come to the interview for "The Terminator", for this kind of sci-fi film The production cycle is very long, so it also needs to be prepared early, otherwise, it may not be released on Halloween next year! ”
Han Ziguang glanced at Cameron, he knew the cycle of Cameron shooting a movie, but now he can't wait, because if Light and Shadow Film Company wants to develop, it must have a movie released, otherwise, it will be easily forgotten by the audience, so the popularity of "People and Ghosts" is not a waste? Because of this, he needed Cameron to speed up the film.
"Got the boss! Since these people are all actors, it will naturally be easy to find, but this Brooke Xiaosi is very popular now, but she is very young and her acting skills are also very young, can she really afford the heroine of a movie with an investment of tens of millions of dollars? ”
Susan & Sophie. Marceau has a good relationship, the two are like sisters, and she naturally wants to see Sophie more. Marceau went to be the heroine of the movie, especially the investment of tens of millions of dollars, which in his opinion is already a lot of money, and it is definitely a medium to upper film production cost.
"Originally, I also wanted Sophie to play the heroine, but he just finished making a movie, and there is a "Mission Impossible" movie to shoot, I don't want her to be so tired, Brooke Ace is very famous in Hollywood, and the selling point of this movie is not the starring role, but our Cameron director."
Han Ziguang has high hopes for Cameron, especially after "The Terminator", Cameron has gone to the altar step by step, so he must also make money as soon as possible, otherwise, he will really not be able to keep up with Cameron's rhythm.
Hollywood film companies are all big studio systems, if you don't release several movies a year, you are embarrassed to come out to meet people, and you must know that in Xiangjiang Shaw Brothers can produce hundreds of films a year, the DreamWorks in the previous life was so amazing, but in the end it was acquired, because DreamWorks' movies are all excellence, and every movie is basically a big hit, but in the end, it doesn't make much money.
The reason is that Hollywood has its own system, even if the film produced is unsatisfactory at the box office, it can also rely on other hidden income to recover the cost, and like DreamWorks, making a movie a year, or even a few years, the company is basically waiting to drink the northwest wind.
Because of this, if you want to become a big film company, you must quickly produce movies for release, which is true, so Han Ziguang can't expect Cameron to make it too quickly, but he can't have no movies to make, especially Cameron also needs to prepare a lot in the early stage of production.
For this reason, Han Ziguang is ready to ask Arnold Dreamer to simply sign two movies directly, after all, Arnold Wonsinger's salary at this time is not high, and Han Ziguang is ready to take Arnold Singer's contract, after all, an actor like Arno Wassinger is also quite restrictive, so it is not pleasing in this era, and he wants Arnold Dreamer to shine in his own hands.
Han Ziguang spent an hour alone to write a script outline, that is, "Predator", in fact, the Predator movie is not complicated as a whole, and the production cost is not high, he plans to arrange jungle battles in the city, so as to make the audience more immersive.
In fact, Han Ziguang is also to save costs, because the background before the shooting of the Terminator can be used on "Predator", so the cost will naturally be reduced a lot, basically he thinks that the cost of filming "Predator" and "Terminator" together will be reduced a lot, and the production cycle of "Predator" can be shortened, and it will be completed in about one or two months.
“BOSS! You're really amazing! I really admire how your head can come up with so many ideas, and this "Predator" turned out to be a villain, just a little similar to "Terminator", but it became an alien, and it can also pick up the residual heat of "Alien ET". ”
If it weren't for watching Han Ziguang quickly write the outline of the script, he couldn't believe that a person could write a new movie script in a short time, and it looked good, as long as it was a little processing, it could be filmed.
"Predator" is generally in the style of "Terminator", and the theme and picture are obviously not as exquisite as "Terminator", which can be regarded as a low-profile version of "Terminator", but it has the theme of "Alien", which makes people want to see it.
It's just that compared to "The Terminator", "Predator" is more bloody, it can be said to be killing, a process of earthlings and aliens using the surrounding environment to fight wits and courage, aliens use the earth as a training ground, in this case, it will also attract some people who like this kind of movie to watch.
