In the 70s and early 90s, Hollywood belonged to Lucas and Spielberg, and since then, the two sci-fi special effects masters have gradually given way, and their successor is James . Cameron. [Full text reading]

In Wang Xiaohu's memory, the top ten global box office myths in his previous life are firmly in Cameron's hands, whether it is "Titanic" or "Avatar", which makes him one of the most powerful directors in Hollywood.

Wang Xiaohu is now very glad that he met Cameron in the theater that year, and the ghost sent him a business card, I didn't expect that a few years later, this guy really came to the door, for the things sent to the door for nothing, Wang Xiaohu never knew how to be polite, take it when it should be taken, and accept it when it should be received.

However, Wang Xiaohu is very clear that Cameron is not as easy to be educated as Lucas or Spielberg, especially through the communication just now, he can clearly feel that Cameron just wants to use his Concorde company as a springboard to continue to jump to a higher position.

Therefore, Wang Xiaohu is still wary of Cameron, and the most effective way to prevent Cameron's backlash is like first getting the scripts of "Titanic", "Avatar", and "True Lies" more than ten years ahead, there is nothing in the world more convincing than copyright, and American judges are far more enforcement than Hong Kong judges.

And for this guy who is good at burning money and disobeying management, Wang Xiaohu also has to be on guard, who let Wang Xiaohu not have the same impression as Lucas or Spielberg in his previous life, of course, this reason is a bit reluctant.

But from the perspective of his own interests, Wang Xiaohu feels that he is not despicable in doing this, what kind of method is used to deal with anyone, Lao Tzu is making money in Hollywood, everything that has anything to do with making money, whether he is a person or a thing, as long as you don't get it, Lao Tzu will steal it for himself, as for how you develop in the future, it is your own business.

The typical "take-it-or-leave-it" doctrine, no, it should become "banditism", but Wang Xiaohu robbed some people of things that they only have in the future, and the parties have no idea.

"Sharon, it's me, James, yes, darling has good news for you, Tiger. Ken Wang bought my script. Cameron happily reported to his wife on the phone, "Listen to me, and I also successfully signed a contract with Concord, that's right, I didn't deceive you, I and Tiger. The king does know, it's absolutely true, it's not a dream"

James. Cameron was telling his wife what happened on the phone, and Wang Xiaohu was holding his shoulders and looking at it with a smile, what he didn't expect was that Cameron was married, but in his memory, Lao Ka's wife seemed to be more than one, either four or five.

Among all Lao Ka's wives, Wang Xiaohu only knows the actor who is about to be the heroine in "The Terminator", and the reason why he can remember it is because Lao Ka paid as much as 50 million US dollars to divorce her, and it also made that actress the most valuable person in the world to benefit from divorce.

Thinking about the upcoming filming of "The Terminator", I believe that when Lao Ka becomes famous, it will be the time when he and his wife say goodbye.

"Hey, foreigners are good at tossing." Wang Xiaohu shook his head and sighed.

The staff led Cameron through the relevant entry procedures, and finally took away an apartment key from Wang Xiaohu's hand, who made the current director of Kada face a miserable situation both in his career and family, Wang Xiaohu, as his boss, can't watch employees sleep on the street or something, right?

Winning the copyright of "Terminator" means that Wang Xiaohu can create another set of gold-absorbing movies after "Star Wars", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "First Blood" and "Rocky".

"If you go back and get the "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" series, the future global blockbuster movies should belong to Concord, right?" Wang Xiaohu thought shamelessly, and at the same time, he also remembered "Iron Man", "Spider-Man", "Transformers" and other series.

"Yes, yes, Transformers!" Wang Xiaohu patted his brain, in recent years, he has been busy cooperating with the mainland, tinkering with some national films, but he almost forgot about this major event!

"Transformers" can be described as one of the most successful commercial cartoons in history, both in the toy market and the audio market has achieved unprecedented success, so much so that in the 80s, it once swept the world, setting off a "Transformers" craze.

At present, Concord has obtained many years of cooperation with Hasbro Toy Company in the United States, whether it is the earliest "Star Wars" toy model series, or "Mythology" various weapons are developed in cooperation with it, even if it is about to be released "Mulan", Wang Xiaohu also intends to cooperate with them.

Some people may say, why didn't Wang Xiaohu set up his own toy company to make it alone?

In fact, the reason is very simple, Wang Xiaohu just treats it as a product of the movie, his main energy is used in film production, and the formation of a toy company requires a lot of manpower and material resources, he does not know this talent, does not have the slightest management experience, and it is better to cooperate with a large company like Hasbro with many years of rich experience.

All you need to do is let ILM draw a concept map of the Transformers from your own memory, then throw it to Hasbro, sign a contract for dividends, and wait to count the money.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohu immediately called Lucas.

"Hey, George, come to my office if you have time, wow, Star Wars 2 post-production is complete?! That's definitely good news, okay, call that guy Steven over by the way. ”

In the afternoon, an excited Lucas and a dejected Spielberg appeared in Wang Xiaohu's office.

As soon as they met, Wang Xiaohu saw Spielberg's dodging appearance, and couldn't help but joke: "Steven, why is this expression, is it that "ET" didn't win the Oscar and feel unconvinced?" ”

Spielberg put on an expression of "so you know", and Lucas next to him laughed and said, "Boss, he's a little afraid to see you now, not only because of the Oscars, but also because of the Palme d'Or." ”

"Uh-huh." Wang Xiaohu leaned back in his chair and looked at Spielberg with a smile, who hated to bury his head in the crotch of his pants.

"Man, it's actually very easy to get a prize, there's a trick here."

"What a trick!" Spielberg immediately raised his head when he heard this, and his eyes were staring at the young boss, and that burning look showed how persistent and expectant he was to win the award at the moment.

The awards mentioned in the conversation between the two are not ordinary awards such as best cinematography, best art, and best special effects, but the best director and best picture, which are enough to include the Oscars, Cannes, or Golden Globes.

"For example, the national surname, the artistic surname, the wheel surname, or the reflection brought about by various roles in the face of a catastrophe." Wang Xiaohu first said the main point, and then continued to explain: "You don't need to look at anything else about ethnic surnames, "Mulan" is the best example, and the previous "First Blood" was very successful at the box office, but it was only limited to resonating in the United States, plus we have been focusing on commercial surnames in the film over the years, and indirectly ignoring other aspects. ”

Spielberg nodded when he heard this, his originally depressed face suddenly brightened, and he suddenly said excitedly: "Boss, I recently received a novel that fits the points you said. ”

"Oh?" Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that it would not be such a coincidence. So he smiled and said: "What kind of novel, I seem to remember that you never like to read novels, and I forced you to read "Jaws" back then." ”

"No, no, it's not an ordinary novel, it's a novel that shocked me after reading it, I've never read it so carefully and carefully, boss, I want to shoot."

Spielberg's tone was very expectant, so much so that it aroused Wang Xiaohu's curiosity.

"Steven, tell me about the novel."

"The novel was mailed in by my friend, by the Australian novelist Thomas Coneares, called Schindler's List," Spielberg then began to dictate the novel.

But Wang Xiaohu, his inner world is extremely shocked, he really didn't expect that another mistake happened today, if there is a considerable fluke in the harvest of "The Terminator", then this "Schindler's List", which made Spielberg win a bunch of Oscars, can only be said to be a coincidence.

When Spielberg finished telling the story with great interest, he found that the young boss was in deep thought, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Boss, I think this novel fits the award-winning characteristics you just listed."

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said undeniably: "Yes, there is no doubt that this novel is of great epochal significance, but"

"But what?" Spielberg asked.

"But are you sure you can bring the essence of the novel through the lens now?" Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said: "Buy the novel first, give you enough time to prepare, I don't want this to be just your hot-headed behavior and ruin a classic novel, Steven, if I remember correctly, you are a Jew, don't spoil your own national things easily." ”

Wang Xiaohu's words are completely goodwill, yes, when he heard about "Schindler's List" at first glance, he was also very happy, because this is Spielberg's masterpiece that won the award, but the time is really not ripe, although Spielberg has experienced the precipitation of several blockbusters and accumulated some experience, but with his current directing level, he cannot complete this masterpiece.

"Boss, you're right." Spielberg had to admit it, and he was deeply touched by the boss's last sentence that national things should not be wasted.

"Okay, that's the end of this matter, let's talk about cartoons, Lucas, hey, Lucas, are you still listening? Damn, you're asleep. ”
