Chapter 754: "Tyrant" Cameron
"Mr. Clayton, I didn't expect us to be so fateful, perhaps that's why God asked me to come to you and tell you about this work≥ I respect your opinion, and if you insist, then I can only be respectful and obey. But I also have a request. ”
"Please speak". Michael, Clayton sat next to Lin Yu.
"The manuscript fee for this book belongs to you, but the film adaptation rights belong to me. If you agree, I agree that co-authorship ♀ is also my limit," ≈ Yu's answer surprised Michael Clayton.
You know, if co-signed. Then Lin Yu naturally has half of the film adaptation rights, in this case, if he insists on the film adaptation rights, Michael Clayton will not refuse, how can he emphasize as much as now, this work is a bestseller in the United States and Europe. Naturally, his manuscript fee is also the highest in the United States, which is by no means a decimal.
Lin Yu saw Michael Clayton's doubts, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Clayton, to be honest, I came here this time to exchange this story for the right of first refusal to purchase your film adaptation rights, I have my own film company, so I want to buy the film adaptation rights of your work, but now that there is such a result, it is already overjoyed for me, so you don't have to care." If you insist on giving me a share of the manuscript fee, I can only borrow your words, and my self-esteem and my conscience will not allow me to share in the benefits you deserve≥-book_ ("
Michael Clayton looked at Lin Yu in a daze for a while ♀ before laughing: "Okay, okay." Since it's your insistence. I won't be reluctant, let's all take a step back, we will co-sign this one, and then the manuscript fee will belong to me, and the adaptation right of the movie script belongs to you, everyone will take what they need! ”
Finalizing this, the atmosphere between the two conversations became more harmonious. Michael Clayton got up and poured two more glasses of red wine to celebrate the cooperation between the two forests.
"I'm glad I'm glad, Lin." Michael Clayton sighed: "Fortunately, I didn't turn you away today, otherwise ♀ I would have left undeserved regrets." By the way, do you plan to bring it to the screen on Hong Kong Island with the adaptation rights of the movie script? ”
"No, no, no!" Lin Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I want to do that, but I have to admit it." Perhaps in gangster films, comedy films, shootout films, and action movies, Hong Kong Island is not inferior to Hollywood, but in the genres of science fiction, horror, and war films, the gap between Hong Kong Island and Hollywood is enough to make people ashamed. ”
It's not that he looks down on the special effects technology of Hong Kong Island films. But in this kind of movie special effects technology, if Americans consider themselves the second, then no one dares to consider themselves the boss. Not to mention the "Zhuluo Ji Park", which was only available in 93 years, is the special effects in the "Terminator" series in the early years, and 2,000 years later, people in the film industry on Hong Kong Island and the mainland can't make those smooth and perfect effects. Special effects for several blockbusters. It is also necessary to hire a foreign special effects company to produce it for it. If "Jurassic Park" is handed over to the film company on Hong Kong Island, he doesn't know what the plot will be, but the thrilling visual effects will inevitably be greatly reduced. And without that jaw-dropping visuals, Jurassic Park's charm is greatly diminished.
Michael Clayton smiled and said, "Lin, you don't have to be presumptuous, no matter what. I also know a little bit about the movies on Hong Kong Island, although there is a certain gap compared to Hollywood, but compared with the movies of other countries in the world. It's still quite a big advantage. At least I think your future should be more sober ♀ than Hollywood's. Are you planning to shoot this movie in Hollywood, USA? Do you need me to introduce you to a few directors or producers? To tell you the truth, there are quite a few directors and producers who are staring at my new work. "As a nationally known best-selling author, author of several works that have been adapted into films, and a member of the Directors Guild. Michael Clayton is very familiar with Hollywood.
"If I want to ask you to invite James Cameron to direct this production. May I? Lin Yu said with a smile.
"James Cameron? That genius tyrant in the director's world? Michael Clayton was stunned for a moment before replying.
A genius tyrant in the world of directing. Except for the famous James Cameron, I am afraid that no one is qualified for this title. The films he directed were often scheduled on time and on a budget, and the bosses of the film companies hated them to the core, but his works were all blockbusters. often gets a high box office, and the bosses of those film companies love him. Every company owner who uses James Cameron as the director will feel as if he is living in hell during the filming, and there is no time when the budget is enough for James Cameron to shoot a movie! The high cost of filming‖ these wealthy bosses may also be in vain when they think about it, and they will also fight for it.
James Cameron is willing to spend money, which is a well-known secret in Hollywood. The pursuit of the most extreme visual effects at any cost makes his works extremely imaginative and visually shocking. It has repeatedly created the highest box office record in the history of world cinema. And in every article detailing James Cameron's life, the word "notoriety" is almost inevitably used
That's right, he's filming a begging, tyrannical "tyrant"; In the family, he is an inconsiderate and uncaring husband; In the eyes of his Hollywood counterparts, Cameron is a paranoid and money-burning machine. Of course, in the end, everyone has to admit that he is one of the most profitable film directors.
"You want to see him?" Michael Clayton asked hesitantly.
Lin Yu nodded and said: "If Jurassic Park is to be made into a movie, then the biggest attraction is undoubtedly those resurrected dinosaurs." It is very difficult to shoot this special effect well. And James, Cameron, I think his Terminator accomplishments have told me [what the stunt effects] are. ”
Lin Yu is indeed very interested in James Cameron, the movies directed by Cameron have always been so luxurious and spectacular, and every work can be said to be thrown out of money, Lin Yu wants to know what this "Jurassic Park" Cameron can shoot like. (To be continued.)
