Since both sides have the intention of cooperating, and there is no disagreement in terms of main interests, so next, Han Quanyou and James? The conversation between Cameron became very pleasant. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Lee, I don't know when I'll be able to get MGM Pictures funding?" Chatting, James? Cameron couldn't help but ask again.

You know, James? Cameron now wishes MGM Pictures would appear in front of him with cash right now, and he could take the money without saying a word, turn around and leave, and start to devote himself to the filming of the film with all his might.

"James, I have to ask, how much do you really need to make it?" Although it has long been known that James? Cameron is notoriously a big production that often exceeds expected funding, often with additional production costs. I know in my heart that if you can make money for a movie like "Avatar" that makes people feel terrifying, the production cost will definitely not be low, but Han Quanyou still hopes for James? Cameron was able not to surprise himself and keep his mouth smaller.

It's not a question of more money and less money, it's just that if you make a movie, it's hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, which is definitely not something anyone can afford. Indeed, even if it is one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, or even any movie invested, the production cost is only 100 million US dollars, which is considered a big production. If it breaks $150 million, the studio often needs to think carefully and then do detailed research and investigation to make sure that they will not lose money by throwing it out.

You know, in Hollywood, the production cost of a movie is generally 50 million, and more specifically, if you want to shoot a good movie, the average production cost is 75 million dollars. Once the production cost exceeds 150 million, it will definitely be considered a big production.

"Actually, from time to time, it's a lot, and half a billion dollars is enough!" James? Cameron's calm answer once again made Han Quanyou dumbfounded.

"Five hundred million dollars!" Han Kwon Woo looked at James with wide eyes? Cameron, don't know James? Whether Cameron is joking again or not. 500 million US dollars, is there such an expensive movie, if you really use 500 million dollars to smash a movie, not to mention anything else, at least this movie will definitely become the most expensive movie in film history so far.

"Ahem~~~~Lee, you must know that 500 million US dollars is really not much, I am not a lion shouting a price, I have calculated many times, if this movie wants to be filmed and shoot the expected effect, 500 million US dollars is a must!"

Looking at the stunned Han Kwonwoo, James? Cameron himself seems to think that $500 million is really a bit much. I lowered my head and thought about it for a while, making sure that I was not exaggerating, and couldn't help but quickly explain: "Lee, that's the case, in fact, the production cost of the movie should be 250 million in my estimate." In the end, it is necessary to have 200 million dollars to spend on publicity and distribution rights! ”

"That's only 450 million, what do you need to do with 50 million?" Han Quanyou took a sharp breath of cold air, and now, Han Quanyou finally understood, with James? Cameron collaborated on a movie, and without a lot of money, it really couldn't work.

Formerly James? When Cameron was filming the movie, the production cost was notoriously expensive, but I didn't expect it to be so outrageous this time, it cost $500 million. If it weren't for the fact that "Avatar" does attract 1,000% of the gold, I'm afraid it's just James? With the 500 million production cost that Cameron opened, Han Quanyou will turn around and leave.

With Han Kwonwoo's worth, you really don't have to care about this little money, but a movie requires a production cost of 500 million US dollars, which is too expensive!

"Ahem~~~Lee, you should know my habit of making movies, although I don't want to do this either, but I have to admit that when I shoot movies, I often exceed the budget funds, so the remaining 50 million dollars are reserve funds. Of course, if I don't need this backup fund, I'll pay it back! ”

James? Cameron was a little embarrassed and explained with an awkward smile. For the movie "Avatar", James? Cameron will never allow any mistakes and will be as prepared as he can for everything he needs.

So, this time James? Cameron directly asked for 50 million reserve funds, instead of hoping to wait until the end of the movie shooting to feel that the money was not enough, and then ask for it!

"Okay James, I'll talk to the MGM executives about it. You know, there might be a little bit of a difficulty in that. After all, investing $500 million in a movie is too expensive, and not anyone dares to take this risk! ”

Passing James? Cameron's explanation, Han Kwon Woo reacted, indeed, in terms of movie shooting alone, "Avatar" is indeed not expensive, even if it is James? Cameron only asked for $250 million, which is much cheaper than when he filmed "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", after all, when filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", the production cost reached nearly $350 million.

However, "Avatar" is expensive in terms of distribution rights and publicity, especially in terms of publicity, and it definitely needs to spend a sum of money on publicity that shocks the entire Hollywood and the world.

And in fact, the success of "Avatar" is not only due to the quality of the film and the beautiful graphics and the extraordinary use of computer stunts. The success of Avatar and its success as a terrifying money-making machine is entirely due to the good publicity work.

Before "Avatar" was ready to be released, Twentieth Century Fox spent almost $200 million on promotion for the movie. And this effect is also very obvious, the overwhelming publicity has also made "Avatar" known to countless people before it was released, and it has become a movie that everyone is looking forward to.

According to calculations, the original total box office of "Avatar", which almost exceeded one billion dollars, or even more, was completely earned by that crazy and overwhelming publicity. It can be seen that in terms of publicity, this money is absolutely indispensable.

"Of course, I understand this, but I swear that this movie will definitely not disappoint any investor!" James? Of course, Cameron also understands Han Kwonwoo's difficulties, after all, in James? In Cameron's eyes, Han Kwon Woo is just an actor who has a good relationship with MGM Pictures, not the top leader of MGM Pictures.

$500 million is indeed too much, but it is definitely not less. Now, James? Cameron can only hope that MGM Pictures can have the decisiveness and generosity of the king of the year, and can take advantage of "Transformers" to earn this money and invest the money in his own movie for the sake of his fame, influence and appeal.

As for the upcoming collaboration with MGM Pictures, James? Cameron is also full of expectations. Because in the original "Transformers" all-or-nothing thing, James? Cameron could see MGM's decisiveness and determination.

So, in James? In Cameron's mind, MGM Pictures is definitely a Hollywood studio, and he is most likely to cooperate with him, and he is also the most anticipated cooperative film company.

Compared to MGM Pictures, for the other seven film companies, James? Cameron really isn't very good-looking. After all, the production cost I need is 500 million US dollars, this is 500 million US dollars, and I am afraid that there is really no film company that dares to invest 500 million US dollars in a movie.

No way, judging from the current situation, as long as the box office of a movie exceeds $500 million, it can be regarded as a big profit. So the production cost of his own film needs 500 million US dollars, as long as it also has to earn 1 billion US dollars, at least double the investment, it can be considered qualified.

However, in the entire history of Hollywood films, there are really few movies that can exceed one billion dollars at the total box office. So far, his own "Titanic" ranks first, and then there are only three movies left, and there are only four movies that can reach the global box office to break through the $1 billion mark, which shows how difficult it is for a movie to reach $1 billion at the box office.

In this case, I am afraid that any Hollywood film company, when it encounters itself and asks for $500 million in production costs, must have the first thought of thinking that it is crazy, and the second thought is to turn around and leave. The production cost of 500 million US dollars is too expensive, and even if a Hollywood studio has money, I am afraid that it will not really consider investing in such an expensive movie.

Therefore, in contrast, among the eight major Hollywood film companies, the only film company that is most likely to cooperate and invest in is MGM Pictures. First, from the desperate gamble of "Transformers", you can see the ruthlessness and decisiveness of MGM Pictures. Secondly, MGM Pictures naturally hopes to make persistent efforts to make the company completely back on its feet and rise in Hollywood.

At this time, MGM Pictures is likely to adopt a series of practices that are unimaginable and incomprehensible to ordinary people. With his fame, appeal and influence there, I believe that MGM Pictures should be more interested in his film than the other seven film companies.

As for the private investment that Han Kwonwoo said at the beginning, James? Cameron didn't care at all, and didn't care in the slightest. In James? In Cameron's eyes, it doesn't matter if you Han Quanyou invests a dollar or a hundred million dollars, it doesn't matter at all. I just need to wait patiently and wait for the time to get the production fee.

Han Kwon-woo and James? Cameron continued to talk for a while, and then after the main thing was said, James? Cameron looked at the time and saw that it was not too early, so he got up and said goodbye to Han Quanyou.

Now James? Cameron has put all his energy and mind into the movie "Avatar", as for other things, James? Cameron was unconcerned. If it weren't for the fact that this is Hollywood's annual business meeting, as a top director, after all, he wants to give Hollywood a face to come and show his face, otherwise, James? Cameron will not attend the meeting.

"By the way, Lee, I almost forgot to tell you, the name of this movie is "Avatar"!" Slippery Christian? Cameron, looking back, whispered.

"Old fellow, I already knew!" Hear James? Cameron's words, the corners of Han Quanyou's mouth couldn't help but smile.

James? Cameron's departure, Han Quanyou instantly had nothing to do, just when Han Quanyou sighed that he was starting to get bored again and wanted to continue to be in a daze, the appearance of a person suddenly made Han Quanyou stunned.

Because, Han Quanyou saw it very clearly, Angelina? Julie was slowly walking towards her. Just in Steven? Spielberg and James? When Cameron and the two clashed, Han Quanyou looked around left and right because he wanted to flash people, and knew that there should be no one around except himself.

So, now looking at Angelina who is slowly walking towards her? Julie, Han Quanyou understands very well that this top Hollywood beauty should come to find herself. However, Han Quanyou also felt extremely puzzled, what the hell is going on, himself and Angelina? Julie isn't familiar at all, and even today is the first time we've met, Angelina? Julie came to find out what was going on.

Sure enough, Han Quanyou's guess was not wrong, Angelina? Julie did come to find herself. Only see Angelina? Julie came to her with a smile on her face and pointed to the James? Cameron smiled in the chair he sat on, "Lee, can I sit here!" ”

"Of course, this is not my home, and you don't have to ask my opinion at all!" Han Quanyou shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said indifferently.

"Thank you!" Angelina? Julie whispered, then sat down, quietly drank red wine, and looked at Han Quanyou with a curious expression.

To be honest, for the young and handsome Lee in front of you, Angelina? Julie is indeed curious, it seems that this Lee's luck and character are really too rebellious.

From the very beginning of his entry into Hollywood, he encountered the big-box office movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", followed by "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". In the end, "Transformers", which is still in the release boom.

In just a few years, he has already filmed three big-box office movies, and his status, popularity, influence and value have almost instantly become the ranks of Hollywood first-line actors. This also makes Angelina? Julie was a little jealous, you know, Angelina? Julie has been able to develop to this point today, and it has been 25 years since the first movie in 82, and it has been 25 years now, although if you really want to count, it can only start from 95, and even then, it has lasted for 12 years.

Thinking of himself, and then looking at the young Lee in front of him, Angelina? Julie couldn't help but sigh. The whole of Hollywood, who is like Han Quanyou, has easily achieved unimaginable success for ordinary people, and even reached a point where most people can't achieve it in a lifetime.

In the crowd at the time, Angelina? When Julie was chatting with her friends in Hollywood, she unexpectedly discovered that Han Quanyou was talking to Steven? Spielberg and James? Cameron's two top directors have a happy exchange, which makes Angelina? Julie was shocked.

As a veteran actor in Hollywood for many years, Angelina? Julie knows very well, Steven? Spielberg and James? Cameron's temper is indeed very bad, even if it is himself, if he cooperates with these two uncles, he will be terrified, and he must be ready to be scolded by the two uncles mercilessly and without giving face at all.

But Han Quanyou did this, and he seemed to be very familiar with each other with the two arrogant masters who only looked at the sky, and it was only a few years before Han Quanyou did this. What is especially commendable is that Han Quanyou is very calm in the face of these two Hollywood notoriously bad-tempered uncles (in fact, he is afraid and afraid and doesn't know what to do and what to say), which has to make Angelina? Julie is curious, and under the tud of curiosity, so Angelina? Julie came to Han Kwonwoo at this time.

You know, whether it's Steven? Spielberg or James? Cameron, the temper of the two is definitely very bad. Just in comparison, James? Cameron's temper is that direct, so he was called a tyrant. And Steven? Spielberg's temper is not good, and he often doesn't explode directly, so he can be regarded as a cold knife type.

From the tempers of these two uncles, there is really a sentence to apply, that is, geniuses and people with proud talents often look down on others, and their tempers are strange and incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Has been Angelina? Julie was such a big beauty, Han Quanyou couldn't sit still, was silent for a while, and first asked, "Miss Julie, I don't know what you've been busy with lately?" ”

"Hee-hee, I'm actually not busy with anything, I'm just busy shooting movies!" Seeing that Han Quanyou finally couldn't help but open his mouth, Angelina? Julie replied with a smile.

As one of the most beautiful Hollywood female surnames at present, Angelina? Julie's formation is also lined up. Last year's "Obewulf" and "Strong Heart" just finished filming, and now three more films have been taken, two films "Changeling" and "Wanted" ("League of Assassins") and one is the voice of "Kung Fu Panda". Julie is indeed busy enough.

"Hehe, that's right, Miss Julie is a big beauty and a big star, of course she is very busy, unlike me, it's already good to have a movie shot a year!" Looking at the goddess-like Angelina? Julie, Han Quanyou had to admit that he was indeed tempted. After all, as a normal man, I'm afraid there are few people who can be indifferent and ignore Angelina? Julie's presence.
