Chapter 756: Cameron Arrives!
Chapter 756: Cameron is here!
Lin Yu didn't know the cost of "Avatar", but he knew that the cost of "Titanic" was over $200 million at that time. Twentieth Century Fox was worried. For this, James Cameron also had to give up his directorial pay. But after the film was staged, James Cameron's dividends were as high as $100 million. The nearly seven-fold difference between the cost and the box office, combined with the revenue from the licensing of the film's accompanying products, made "Titanic" a gold mine that countless people in the film industry around the world would envy.
With the backing of these materials from his previous life, Lin Yu's use of James Cameron can be said to have no psychological pressure. And he believes that James Cameron, who is always struggling with a lack of budget, will also be interested in a boss with plenty of money.
Lin Yu has calculated, with Cameron and several big directors, Lin Yu's plan to conquer Americans with movies will take effect in less than five years, and within 20 years, Lin Yu will be enough to conquer Americans.
"Well, if you insist, then I naturally won't refuse your opinion." Michael Clayton shrugged and said, "Want to see it now?" Or wait for an opportunity at a later date? ”
"Now?" Lin Yu was taken aback.
"The tyrant is currently in Hollywood, and he had just spoken to me on the phone three days ago, trying to get out of my mouth and wonder if I had a new work. I think he's editing his new work right now. Michael Clayton smiled slyly and said, "It seems, Lin, you're in luck." ”
Lin Yu couldn't help but be stunned and stammered, such a bloody coincidence could actually be bumped into by himself?
Michael Clayton is right, the tyrant he calls is indeed in Hollywood now, and "Terminator 2" has postponed its filming date for some reasons. Filming is not finished until now, and if I am not mistaken, the film, which was released in the United States in July in its previous life, will be delayed until after October.
Although said. When he first arrived, out of politeness and, of course, a bit of luck, he called Michael Clayton to pay him a visit, but also to hear if the famous American best-selling author had a new book. The name Michael Clayton, in a way. It is also a guarantee of the box office of the movie. His huge readership in the United States and Europe is a group that every director cannot ignore.
But Michael Clayton was tight-lipped about it. He didn't hear the slightest clue, and Michael Clayton politely declined his visit. This annoyed him a little.
And now, he is even more upset, always on the verge of exploding, there are more than a dozen scenes in "Terminator II" and he has not made up his mind whether to want it or not, which has caused the release date of "Terminator 2" to be continuously delayed.
There was a few soft knocks on the door. Then his assistant walked in.
"What's the matter? Didn't I say that you wouldn't bother me during this time? James Cameron almost growled.
But the assistant used only one sentence. It calmed down Jane and Scameron.
"Sir. Phone call from Mr. Michael Clayton. ”
Confused, James Cameron drove with his assistant on the road to Michael Clayton's address. He really didn't understand why Michael Clayton, who politely declined his visit two days ago, took the initiative to invite himself to go today. Actually, he knows it. Because of his violent temper, many people are reluctant to associate with him, but he just can't control his temper. Although there are many people who are fascinated by their talents. Some cast members followed Cameron for years and became regular partners of Cameron. There are also women who are deeply in love with Cameron. But none of their marriages to Cameron lasted long, and they were infatuated with his talent, but they couldn't get along with him without advertising.
And one of the most memorable for him was the producer Gol Annicht. At that time, James Cameron was tormented by illness, hunger and poverty, and this painful experience left him with nightmares every night and always woke up in a cold sweat.
At one point he had a very clear nightmare: being hunted down by a machine killer from the future. After waking up, based on the contents of the nightmare, James Cameron wrote a movie script that completely changed his fate, "The Terminator". He later sold the script to producer Gol Anniecht for a dollar. The condition was that he should direct the film himself, and Goyer happily agreed to his request. In the first year, James, Cameron launched his first self-written and directed film "The Terminator". The film cost only $6.5 million. but earned $36 million at the domestic box office. Since then, he has risen to prominence as a rising star in the American directorial scene, and Goldennicht has thrown himself into his arms. became his second wife. But the marriage between the two did not last long, and just four years later, he broke up with Goyle and married his current wife, Kathryn Bigelow. But it has only been less than a year since they got married, and the relationship between the two seems to have a faint crack again.
Among them, his violent temper undoubtedly played a factor that cannot be ignored.
James Cameron sighed softly. Pull your thoughts back from the past. He wondered why Michael Clayton had suddenly invited him to his house, but he had a vague feeling as if something was about to happen. James Cameron secretly prayed that the well-known American best-selling author would have a new work and would be willing to let him buy the rights to the film adaptation, which would undoubtedly be the most wonderful outcome. But he felt that it must be a luxury. Michael Clayton's works are never selling, and he can choose those great directors who have already made a name for themselves. He is now a figure among Hollywood directors, but in the eyes of many people, he is not the top.
Jass Cameron was in a state of misconception, and by the time his car arrived at Michael Clayton's villa, it was already dark.
Michael Clayton received him warmly, but to his surprise, there was also an Oriental in the room, a young man in his twenties.
"James, haven't you eaten yet, I've prepared dinner here, we can talk about Michael while eating, Clayton led him to the table: "This one is Lin from Oriental China, Lin, this one is Mr. James Cameron, the director of "The Terminator".
