The atmosphere is getting a little weird, James? Cameron was looking forward to Han Kwonwoo's answer, and Steven? Spielberg stared at James angrily? Cameron, as for Han Quanyou, is now completely dumbfounded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hmph, I'd like to see, you Mas? How exactly does Cameron play! "Finally, with Steven? Spielberg snorted, breaking the eerie silence.
At this time, Han Quanyou reacted and looked at Steven? Spielberg looked at James deadly? Cameron glanced at him for a few moments, then stood up, turned away without saying a word or looking back.
Steven? Spielberg knows very well that if Han Quanyou is really willing to cooperate, he will definitely choose to work with James? Cameron cooperates, not chooses himself.
Indeed, compared to the conditions he gave, James? The conditions and treatment given by Cameron are undoubtedly much stronger. I believe that as long as you are a normal person, you will make the choice you deserve.
What if the other party is not James? Cameron's words, so Steven? Spielberg still has the idea to fight for it, after all, with his fame and influence, there is still a good chance.
But it was James who fought with him? Cameron, though Steven? Spielberg is very proud and looks down on James? Cameron, not even afraid of James? Cameron as an opponent.
But Steven? Spielberg is well aware, James? In terms of influence and popularity, Cameron is no worse than himself.
The fame and influence are no worse than their own, and the conditions and treatment given are much stronger than their own. Steven? Spielberg really couldn't think of anything to pay attention to, Han Quanyou would reject James? Cameron chose to work with him.
Now that the answer is known, what about Steven? Spielberg had no intention of staying here any longer. Steven? Spielberg's arrogance in his bones made Steven? Spielberg couldn't give Han Kwonwoo better conditions and treatment for the sake of vindictiveness.
Yes, that's right, vindictive, in Steven? Spielberg's thoughts, James? The reason why Cameron offered Han Quanyou such good conditions and prices was entirely because he was fighting with himself.
With James? Cameron is different, Steven? Spielberg, as a person from Paramount Pictures, naturally has to think about the company. The conditions and treatment just given to Han Quanyou are already Steven? Spielberg was able to offer the best terms and treatment.
So, now Steven? Spielberg was very decisive in choosing to leave, because in Steven? In Spielberg's thoughts, it was already very face-saving for him to be able to put down his body and invite Han Quanyou, a junior.
Didn't expect to kill a James on the way? Cameron, especially Han Kwonwoo hesitated, it is clear that Han Kwonwoo is interested in James? Cameron's offer was even more exciting. Thinking of this, Steven? Spielberg was furious, he was ignored by a junior.
In mind for James? While Cameron's resentment increased by one point, he also had some unhappiness with Han Quanyou. Chose to talk to James? Cameron's guy teamed up, and I wanted to see what you two could come up with.
I have to say, whether Han Quanyou is willing or unwilling, now because of James? Cameron, vaguely by Steven? Spielberg held a grudge, which can be said to be a great wrong.
Looking at the departing Steven? Spielberg, especially feeling Steven? Before Spielberg left, he looked at himself with some anger and resentment, Han Quanyou was dumbfounded, he didn't say or agree, he didn't say anything, he couldn't be too domineering!
"yes, the damned Jews are finally out!" Han Kwonwoo was dumbfounded, but James? Cameron wasn't idle, looking at Steven? Spielberg left in a rage, James? Cameron's heart blossomed.
Because, myself again in Steven? Spielberg had the upper hand in another encounter.
"James~~~ You're happy, but I feel like I'm in big trouble!" Looking at James laughing happily? Cameron, Han Quanyou couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Just Steven? Spielberg's eyes leaving, Han Quanyou could see it clearly, Han Quanyou would not doubt it at all, at some time in the future, Steven? Spielberg will teach himself a hard lesson, and he will not doubt Steven? Spielberg's influence, if it really strikes, will definitely be very troublesome, very troublesome.
"Hey, Lee, I'm actually trying to say that you don't have to worry about that Jew at all!" James? Cameron also reacted, as if he had just taken care of himself and implicated Han Quanyou for no reason. Got the idea, James? Cameron was also a little embarrassed.
"Oh well, I hope God willing!" It's useless to say more now, what can Han Quanyou say, if he continues, if he takes James? Cameron also provoked, so he didn't cry without tears if he wanted to cry at that time.
James? Cameron nodded hurriedly: "Okay, Lee, or what you said just now, how about it, do you have any ideas to do it with me?" β
"What, James, are you serious?" Looking at James with a serious and expectant face? Cameron, Han Quanyou couldn't help but exclaim.
From beginning to end, Han Quanyou always thought that James? Is Cameron deliberately angry with Steven? Spielberg, sweeping the other party's face and working against the other party will offer those super good conditions and prices just now. But now, look at James? Cameron's reaction didn't look like a joke.
James? Cameron couldn't help frowning, obviously a little dissatisfied with Han Quanyou's reaction: "Lee, what's wrong with you, of course I'm serious, do you think I'm joking, just to make that damn Jew more vindictive, you're too naΓ―ve!" β
Han Quanyou: "Isn't it a joke again!" At this moment, Han Kwon-woo still has a hard time believing James? Cameron is serious.
"Damn it!" James? Cameron was also a little angry: "I swear to God, everything I just said, I admit that I deliberately angered that Jew, and I also meant to do it against the other party." But more importantly, I do have this plan, I sincerely invite you to join me in this film, as for the treatment and conditions, everything I just said is serious! β
At this moment, I can't tolerate Han Quanyou not believing it, after all, the two have no relatives and no reason, James? There's no way Cameron can't come and play a joke like this with himself.
After thinking about it, Han Quanyou still asked tentatively: "Okay Jeffes, to be honest, I can't give you an answer yet, if I want to participate in your movie, I must know your plan first!" β
"Of course!" James? Cameron nodded without the slightest hesitation, and then continued: "Actually, my movie is very simple, it is a science fiction blockbuster, which describes a war between human beings and local indigenous people in the alien world in order to compete for resources. For this film, I decided to use computer stunts, and I will definitely shoot a film that will give everyone who has watched this film in the world with a strong visual impact. β
"James, I'd love to know, has you started filming on this movie?" Passing James? Cameron's introduction, Han Quanyou is already convinced in his heart, obviously, James? The movie Cameron is talking about is the masterpiece "Avatar"!
It doesn't matter if you like it or not, whether the movie is good or not. But at least the global box office of "Avatar" is there, and just the box office, "Avatar" can be called a masterpiece!
"Uh~~~ Of course I'm prepared for this, but I haven't officially started filming yet!" Speaking of which, James? Cameron was a little embarrassed and looked at the stunned Han Kwonwoo, James? Cameron hurriedly explained: "Lee, I'm serious, I'm really confident in this movie, and I've been preparing for this movie for many years. I believe that as long as the computer stunts are played well and can meet the requirements in my mind, this movie will definitely be an epic blockbuster, a blockbuster that surpasses "Titanic"! β
Han Quanyou nodded subconsciously, Han Quanyou did not have any doubts about this. However, thinking of James now? Cameron's "Avatar" hasn't fully started yet, and Han Kwonwoo can't help but feel a headache.
Filming has not yet started, which means that the production cost of the film has not yet been found, the film company has not been found, the actors, the crew, the shooting location, the shooting equipment and props, etc., have not yet started.
In this regard, Han Quanyou was really puzzled and looked at James? Cameron, can't figure out James? What the hell does Cameron think. Han Kwon Woo didn't doubt James at all? Cameron's determination to shoot "Avatar", after all, the movie "Avatar", James? Cameron has been preparing for more than ten years, even earlier than "Titanic" at that time.
Han Kwon Woo, who crossed over, understood that if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't reach James because of technology and computer stunts at that time? Cameron's request, otherwise, the "Titanic" of the year may disappear and be replaced by "Avatar"!
"James, you mean that you don't have the production money in place right now, the film company you work with is not in good contact, the actors, the crew, the props, the shooting location, all of this, you are not ready. Now, the only thing that is ready is the script of the film and you, the director? β
"It's a pity, but I'd say it is!" James? Cameron said a little embarrassed, but then explained: "However, I have been shooting this movie for nearly three years, and I have been investing my personal funds in the filming of the film, although I would like to have a film company work with me and give me the production fee, but unfortunately I haven't contacted it yet." But Lee, I've invested all my money in it now, which shows how determined I am about this film! β
(Modified in time and some small details, mainly to match the protagonist, don't be serious, just read it!) "What, James, you're saying you haven't found the production money yet?" Han Quanyou exclaimed, then his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Uh~~~ That's it, what's wrong?" James? Cameron nodded and looked at Han Quanyou with a puzzled expression.
"Hehe, I mean, I mean, I can invest in this movie, what do you think?" After determining that now "Avatar" does not have production costs, it is completely dependent on James? Cameron's years of hard-earned money were supported in advance, and Han Quanyou couldn't help but be moved.
After all, the global box office of "Avatar" is 2.7 billion US dollars, and Han Quanyou has no reason not to be impressed, and there is no reason not to participate in it if he has the opportunity.
"Really?" Listened to Han Kwon-woo, James? Cameron's eyes couldn't help but light up, and the whole person began to get a little excited.
You know, for the movie "Avatar", James? Cameron really made up his mind, "Avatar" said it was James? Cameron's greatest effort is not an exaggeration. Otherwise, James? Cameron won't be stupid enough to take out all his savings and smash them on the movie, you know, if you don't find a film company that is willing to pay for the investment, let alone whether the movie can be made, I'm afraid James? Cameron himself would have been destitute.
"Of course it's true, and I can connect you with MGM Point Pictures to work with. Although MGM Studios' recent situation is very bad, MGM Pictures' influence and heritage are still very strong, and choosing to cooperate with MGM Pictures will definitely give you a lot of energy left in terms of operation and publicity after the successful filming of the film. Also, I can make soundtracks for movies and even write theme songs. You know, I'm originally a singer, and that's my specialty! β
Instantly, James? Cameron hesitated, lowered his head and began to think. After all, the movie "Avatar", but James? Cameron's years of hard work, James? Cameron will not tolerate the slightest mistake.
Looking at a pensive James? Cameron, Han Quanyou's heart couldn't help but get worried, and he looked at James expectantly? Cameron, quietly waiting for James? Cameron's answer.
The global box office of 2.7 billion US dollars, that is, 17.5 billion yuan, 28,500 won. It can be said that as long as you can get a piece of the pie on the movie "Avatar", and finally return Han Quanyou's income, it will definitely exceed his own desperate work in a year, and even add several times the total annual income of the entire SS company.
"It's okay to cooperate, it's okay to invest, but I need absolute rights and authority, this movie is my work for many years, and I don't allow the slightest mistake!" Silence for a few minutes, James? Cameron looked up and said lightly.
"No problem, everything about the movie is up to you, and no one, including me and MGM Studios, can have the slightest influence or interference with the movie!" Han Quanyou agreed without even thinking about it, nonsense, even if it is James? Cameron doesn't say that, and Han Kwonwoo will say the same too. With such a movie with a gold attraction of 1,000%, Han Quanyou did not dare to interfere in the slightest, for fear that if he did not pay attention, it would affect the total box office of the movie.
Seeing Han Quanyou agree so happily, James? Cameron couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Personal interests can be slightly conceded, but after all, they must ensure their absolute authority in this movie. Of course, the concession of personal interests is only a slight concession, too much, James? Cameron definitely doesn't do it.
Although I wonder why Han Kwon-woo was able to make decisions for himself on behalf of MGM Pictures, James? Cameron didn't ask. It would be best if Han Quanyou could really call the shots, but if he couldn't, it would be a big deal to talk to MGM Pictures when the time came.
Well~~~ Yes, after Han Quanyou said this, James? Cameron also subconsciously leaned the film companies he cooperated with towards MGM Pictures. As Han Quanyou said, although MGM Pictures is not in a very good situation, its influence, strength and heritage are still top in Hollywood.
"I need to account for 30% of the total box office results of the film, after all, I am a director and screenwriter, and this film is also my work for many years. If the box office is very good, I naturally hope that I can get a little more money. β
This time, Han Quanyou hesitated, but after a few seconds, Han Quanyou still nodded very happily and agreed.
In Han Kwonwoo's mind, it's a big deal to give MGM Pictures 20 percent of the box office revenue when the time comes. Because in Han Quanyou's mind, he plans to privately invest 80% of the production cost of "Avatar", and MGM Pictures is responsible for the remaining 20% of the production cost. In this way, in the end, the total box office revenue of "Avatar", MGM Pictures got 20% less, but the specific income will definitely not be less.
What's more, he is still the boss of MGM Films, and I believe that as long as he makes a decision, MGM Pictures will never have the slightest opinion or objection.
James? Cameron is 30 percent, MGM Pictures is 20 percent, and himself is the final 50 percent.
Although there is no shadow of "Avatar" now, when he thinks of this, Han Quanyou can't help but smile. Don't underestimate this 50%, it is this 50%, according to the total global box office revenue of "Avatar", it is also more than 1.3 billion US dollars, which can definitely be regarded as a big profit.
The investment in a movie, even if you spend 500 million US dollars to invest it, can finally get 1.3 billion US dollars and make a net profit of 800 million US dollars, which is simply a money grab. The investment in a movie can make a net profit of 800 million US dollars, which can only appear in the money-grabbing activity of the masterpiece "Avatar".
Even if you make more than $800 million, you will even more. After all, it is impossible for him to be personally responsible for all the production costs, and MGM Pictures also has to contribute a sum of money in the name of the company, so he may be able to earn more.
"Okay, if it's all right, then I'll agree to cooperate." There's no disagreement on the big things, James? Cameron still has nothing to refuse and hesitate, as for some small details, it will be necessary to talk about it in detail at that time.
"Hehe, I believe that our cooperation this time will definitely satisfy all of us!" Holding back the excitement in his heart, Han Quanyou stood up with a red face, stretched out his hand and said.
"Hehe, happy cooperation!" James? Cameron didn't think too much about it, and reached out to hold Han Quanyou's hand and laughed.
