Chapter 646: Cameron full of resentment

75_75283 Of course, the later stage that Li Mingbao said is not that the later stage of the movie itself was not done well, in fact, the film was filmed last year, and even the finished film was made. A big reason why the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info said that it did not do a good job is because of Li Mingbao himself, at that time, he did not have time to come to the United States at all, so the movie "Terminator" has no hope of being released until now.

If it's an ordinary movie, it doesn't matter if investors can't get it, as long as it can be released normally. With Li Mingbao's channels and connections, it is actually quite a simple matter to get such a movie released in the United States, whether it is DreamWorks itself or Twentieth Century Fox, they have enough connections to arrange this matter well. So whether Li Mingbao is present or not, in essence, there is not much of a problem.

But the key is that the movie "Terminator" is now being filmed too far ahead of Cameron's truck driver. In the nineties, it will not seem backward. Not every movie can be as lucky as Star Wars, even if it was that movie, when it was first released, the company behind them was also in a cold sweat, afraid that something would go wrong, otherwise, it would not have allowed George Lucas to pick up the surrounding cheapness, if the film company was really confident, then they would definitely understand how profitable the surrounding area of this movie would be.

And for businessmen, there is a place to make money and have to be pushed out, that is completely unreasonable, isn't it? So, when Star Wars was released, the film company was nervous. And when "The Terminator" was released, Cameron was also very nervous. Originally, he was going to shoot a finished film according to the plan on the script, so Cameron somewhat explained, but the problem was that when he was filming, because of Li Mingbao's decentralization, the effect of "The Terminator" was extreme, and such an extreme movie, even if it hit the street at the box office, would make the director famous all of a sudden.

This is a good thing for Cameron, but it may not be a good thing for investor Li Mingbao. So when Li Mingbao saw the sample film, he asked Cameron to hype up the topic of "The Terminator" first, and then publish topics such as novels first, and then release the movie. Although the cost will increase a little, if the effect of the novel is good, then the release of "Terminator" will be much safer, Li Mingbao said so, Cameron They also did the same.

In the year of '84, the topic of the movie "Terminator" has not stopped, and the American public has also accepted the setting of the Terminator, and in the middle of the year, some of the shackles that originally plagued the Terminator have actually disappeared. Originally, the film was supposed to be released at that time.

But Li Mingbao was not in the United States at that time, and at the same time, he could not come to the United States for several months. In this way, if you want to screen this movie, you can only let Li Mingbao command it remotely, and I will definitely not be able to show it. I can't do it, although Cameron is very bold when making movies, but when it comes to screening, he seems very hungry and cautious. Although Li Mingbao told him before that as long as he needs it, this movie can be released at any time. But Cameron didn't want to carry such a big burden, so he would rather wait until Li Mingbao came to the United States before starting to release movies, rather than the order to release movies came out of his mouth.

As a result, this period has been delayed until now, fortunately, Li Mingbao is coming to the United States at this time, otherwise I don't know when this terminator will be released. For Li Mingbao, the shopkeeper, Cameron's resentment is really not ordinary. This movie, but his first independently filmed movie, a man who has not yet become the king of the world, will always have such and such apprehensions when facing his first time, but his first time, because of Li Mingbao's delay, delayed for more than a year, such a thing, if Cameron has no grievances, it will really be a hell. But such a result was also self-inflicted, Li Mingbao did not stop him from letting this movie be released, so Cameron's mood was quite contradictory.

But fortunately, now that the movie has finally reached the time of release, not only Cameron's appetite has been mobilized by the box office, but even those North Americans who have seen books related to "Terminator" are now mobilized. With such results, it can be regarded as a good thing for Li Mingbao, after all, a schedule like Christmas is not intended for this kind of movie, and now it can mobilize the emotions of so many people, so the box office or something is somewhat guaranteed.

Emotional mobilization is emotional mobilization, although this movie is vigorously promoted, but on the premiere, there is not too much fancy. After all, the producer and the director and actors of this movie are not well-known goods, and it is not a good thing to really get too high a standard. Although DreamWorks is not unfamous in the United States, DreamWorks' fame has always been in horror movies, and such a mainstream manufacturer of niche movies naturally can't promote and introduce it more, otherwise it may not be so good for people's senses. Therefore, doing things in a high-profile manner and being a low-key person is the route that this movie should take.

People outside can't invite too much, celebrities or something, so a few people came to the scene, and then there were normal audiences. And although Li Mingbao also attended the premiere, he was not too public, but directly entered the box, not that Li Mingbao didn't want to be in the limelight, but that Li Mingbao was in the United States, and he really didn't have much fame, and some upper-class people could know his name, but the vast majority of people in the middle and lower classes in the United States didn't know what Li Mingbao was doing at all. In this way, even if you want to be in the limelight, there is no place to do it.

In the box, in fact, Li Mingbao is not the only one, John also came to see the premiere of this movie, originally Li Mingbao invited John, that is, he didn't think that John would really come, but he didn't expect that accidents would always happen inadvertently, for Li Mingbao's invitation, John actually gave face, and agreed directly without shirking at all.

So after Li Mingbao and the others sat in the box, they began to chat.

"The quality of this movie is still quite good, I watched the finished film before, this guy called Cameron, it does have two hits. The movie is quite good, especially on this theme, I think in terms of details, it is better than Star Wars, and it is more sci-fi, which fits the theme of such a movie, I knew that this movie would be so good, and I should have intervened when the project was established. John looked at Li Mingbao on the side with a smile and said.

"For professionals like us, this film is really worth looking at, and even if it has a fairly high-end reputation in the American film industry, I don't think it's too strange. But this kind of evaluation, after all, is only an evaluation in the profession, and how much recognition the public has for such a movie, at least it is not very clear now, you Americans are actually quite conservative in terms of movies.

The vast majority of people don't like to watch some alternative movies. Otherwise, horror movies would not be called niche. Although Terminator is not a horror movie, it is quite alternative in the definition of ordinary people. Therefore, the evaluation of this movie and the actual box office revenue will not be too closely linked, and maybe it will not be too unexpected when the box office loses.

I don't believe that John, you won't see such a situation, when I really wanted to pull you to invest, the probability that you can watch this movie is quite low. In fact, even if it is me, when I see this movie now, I am trembling, and I don't know what will happen at the final box office. If the box office is really bad, it can be regarded as breaking my undefeated golden body, and it can be regarded as a model of failure for my first investment in the film industry. Hearing John's words, Li Mingbao said naturally.

"If you release this movie directly as soon as it is filmed, then the risk will indeed be very large, like a movie, people who like it will definitely like it very much, but those who don't like it will definitely not like it. Polarization can be severe. The audience in the middle part should be much smaller than that of ordinary movies.

Even if you are in the industry, there will definitely be many people who are not optimistic about this movie. But fortunately, you guy found another way, and after the filming of the movie was completed, he didn't rush to release the movie, but first spent a sum of money and made things like peripheral books as publicity.

And then after publicity to let everyone know this kind of Quanxing setting, although the cost has increased a lot, but in terms of actual effect, I think it should not be too bad. After all, there has been almost a year of publicity, and everyone is no stranger to such a setting, plus you make a little promotional video from time to time, which has whetted everyone's appetite.

Even people who didn't care about this movie before will start to be interested in this movie because everyone is discussing it. So I don't think the box office of this movie will be so risky. Even if this movie becomes an image of a pioneer, then the profit that this movie can bring you will be even higher. In addition, the film itself is very distinctive, it is not a bad movie, there is no problem with the quality, and there is enough popularity, even if you want to lose money, it is difficult, at most it is a matter of making more and earning less.

I know more than you know about the popularity of this movie, and even now there are some studios in Hollywood that have been preparing for this genre of film before your movie is released. As a very important person in the Hollywood film industry, he can naturally see how great the potential of this movie is, Li Mingbao has done so many things, it would be a joke to say that Li Mingbao has no ambition for the box office.

John said so, and Li Mingbao didn't talk about some meaningless topics. His words were fine to deceive the layman, but for an insider like John, it didn't work at all. Being too modest is not a good thing in the United States. So Li Mingbao also acquiesced in John's words, anyway, now that the movie is released, what the results will be, and it will be completely clear in a month.
