Chapter 759: Untitled!
~,――~"I hope that through a movie, I can announce to filmmakers all over the world that an era is coming, and as long as you imagine it, then movie stunts can be expressed." Lin Yu stood up and stretched out his hand to James Cameron. Although he is already the best among the Ran Ling people, he is still an out-and-out child in front of James Cameron. But in this mystery, James Cameron felt that he was so tall and unrealistic at this time.
"Man, let me sober up, sober up!" James Cameron jumped to his feet. He rushed out of the dining room, and within a minute, he rushed back to the table with his head full of water.
"I've confirmed, I'm not dreaming." James Cameron hurriedly shook Lin Yu's hand that was not retracted because of surprise, and explained to the somewhat stunned crowd. Everyone couldn't help but laugh in unison.
"Okay, okay, now Cameron you're sure that all this is not an illusion, I've finished eating, and I haven't finished today's work yet, so I won't bother you to talk about it in detail. Lin, have you booked a hotel? If not, I'd be happy to keep two rooms in my villa over and over again. Michael Clayton stood up, what Lin Yu said today, he had to write it down immediately and organize it into words.
"Mr. Michael Clayton, thank you so much!" James Cameron bowed to him from the bottom of his heart and thanked him. Today's invitation. For James Cameron these days. It's just too timely.
"Oh. Cameron. You should be even more grateful to Lin, it was his persistence that allowed me to make such a decision. Michael Clayton shrugged: "And he is the one who has the rights to adapt the film!" ”
Truth be told, he doesn't like Cameron. And he doesn't want to take away the beauty. Lin Yu insisted that all the manuscript fees belong to him, and he naturally wanted to repay the favor.
"Thank you!" Lin Yu thanked him politely.
Michael Clayton left the restaurant, leaving only Lin Yu and James Cameron and their assistants in the hall.
James Cameron wiped the water flowing down his sideburns with his hand, looked at Lin Yu and said: "Mr. Lin, first of all, I want to thank you for your choice of me, although I don't know what your co-authorship with Mr. Michael Clayton is." But I think Mr. Michael Clayton just writes a random historical biography, and someone will be eager to buy it home. To be able to have the privilege of directing his work, I think, is a temptation that all directors in Hollywood can't refuse. Secondly, Mr. Lin helped me solve the big problem that had been bothering me for a long time in the script of "Terminator II". I am deeply grateful. But I want to know, what does Mr. Lin want from me? ”
James Kamei didn't believe that Lin Yu would help him like this for free, since he had given himself such a big benefit, then he must have hoped for something in return.
Lin Yu laughed, this well-known tyrant in the American director industry is really straightforward. "Mr. Cameron, judging from what you did just now, am I right about many of the plots in your Terminator II script?
James Cameron nodded without hesitation. He was so obvious just now. It is pointless to conceal this now.
Lin Yu can't remember the name of the film company that owns the copyright to "Terminator", but he remembers that it is not a big company. And later, due to financial problems, the rights to "Terminator" had to be sold.
Lin Yu didn't have any feelings about "The Terminator", what Lin Yu wanted was those movies that were enough to influence the history of world cinema.
"So when will the work co-authored by Mr. Michael Clayton and Mr. Lin be filmed?"
James Cameron asked again.
"Mr. Michael Clayton's work is not expected to be published until the end of the year. The official shooting will not be until next year. So I hope you, Mr. Cameron, will be able to stay at that time. I can guarantee that the investment will not be lower than that of Terminator II. ”
"Really? It's great. But, Lin, do you want to invest in this film? ”
"Yes, that's one of the reasons why I only want the rights to the film. I have my own studio in Hollywood, and I'm sure you've heard of his name, Columbia Pictures. Now I'm idle. So I'm going to create a batch of classic movies for my company. Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Oh! You're saying Columbia Pictures is yours? It's unbelievable, you're so young and ......," cried out James Cameron like hell.
"A person's success does not depend on his age, if you don't work hard, even if you live to be 100 years old, you will achieve nothing, you should know this better than me." Lin Yu said with a smile.
Sometime. James Cameron in later memoirs. Lin Yu was once described like this: This is a magical Oriental, and his youth is surprising. His talent is so fascinating that if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that there is such a talent in the world, even if it is President Clinton, I don't think he is as charismatic. I don't know how many people like him there are in the East, but I think it's enough to have such a person, and it's my luck that such a person can still meet me. ”
As Lin Yu said to him, "I hope to be able to announce the advent of an era to filmmakers all over the world through a movie, as long as you imagine it, then movie stunts can be expressed!" ”
The staging of "Terminator II" and "Jura Park". And after achieving remarkable results, film special effects have become an indispensable part of a big-budget movie. The scenes that directors could only draw in pictures and in their minds were put on the movie screen one by one. The whole world was amazed.
After that, James Cameron almost became the queen director of Columbia Pictures, and almost more than 90% of the films he directed were invested or wholly owned by Lin Yu, and these films, without exception, were all big hits. Even the worst can get more than double the cost of shooting.
And James Cameron is most grateful to Lin Yu for Lin, that is, no matter what kind of devastating film budget he proposes, even the boss of an old film company like Twentieth Century Fox is shocked by the amount, Lin Yu will always add another 20% to him without blinking! ~,――~
