Chapter 458: Cameron, who is under pressure
readx;
After solving a lot of problems in the TV program, Li Mingbao finally remembered that he came to the United States this time, but in fact, he still had a purpose that had not been completed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info'''' was originally the main purpose, but because of a series of things, this problem was thrown to an unknown distance, that is, now that Li Mingbao has dealt with the big things in his hand, he remembered this matter, and it seems that it should be solved.
So Li Mingbao, who remembered the matter, finally had time to take a look at Cameron, who was entrusted with a heavy task by himself. The first time I shot a movie, the first time I was a director, the first time I was a producer and director, and the first time I didn't have enough budget. The filming of "The Terminator" was definitely an unforgettable experience for Cameron.
As a newcomer, Cameron gets such treatment, as long as he says it, he can really envy a large number of Hollywood directors, even those who have already achieved fame, when they hear Cameron's treatment when he shoots "The Terminator", he has to jump to his feet. But no matter what, Cameron's movie is finally out. Li Mingbao has been dealing with problems on TV shows before, and he can't take care of Cameron at all, but now when he can take care of Cameron, Cameron has also taken out his own achievements.
I have to admire this truck driver, who actually relied on a group of editors to edit out the dailies of the movie "Terminator" without any editing experience at all. Don't think that such things are common in Hollywood, in fact, there are not many movies that can really say the same thing in a movie, and the movie samples that are finally released are also made according to their own hearts, no matter where they are.
Don't look at Li Mingbao when he was filming his first movie, it seemed that he could easily solve these problems, including the final edit, and it could still be a big hit, thinking that it was actually very easy to pick a movie on his shoulder, but in fact, this is.
If Li Mingbao didn't have that memory, plus there were movie samples constantly showing in his head, even if his first movie was filmed, it might not be able to achieve the same effect, in short, all of Li Mingbao's achievements were actually standing on the shoulders of giants, and before this, Li Mingbao was not completely unfamiliar with this industry, and the Shaw Brothers crew he went to study before gave him great help.
But Cameron doesn't have such conditions as Li Mingbao, even if he is given enough funds and all the power to be able to get such a movie out, it is worthy of his name as a genius, after all, although Cameron has some experience in films, but his previous position is destined for him to learn everything even if he wants to learn, it is impossible for him to learn everything, but now he has overcome many difficulties and solved this matter, and the emperor's demeanor can be seen at a glance.
When he saw Cameron again, Li Mingbao found that Cameron's appearance had changed significantly, if when he saw Cameron before, Li Mingbao could still see Cameron's elegant atmosphere, then the Cameron he saw at this meeting was really quite sloppy. Even when facing him as a boss, Cameron's look is as if he hasn't been taken care of for a week.
After Cameron saw Li Mingbao, a face that didn't have many expressions appeared at this time, but at this time, a variety of different expressions appeared, and the conversion speed was very fast, it could be changed many times in a second, which was not much different from the kung fu of Sichuan Opera to change face.
It was a long time before Cameron spoke, "Boss Li, you can finally find time to meet me." I really don't know if for you, Boss Li, this movie costs millions of dollars, and it can make you look good. In this movie, Boss Li, except for one time when the crew was preparing at the beginning, until the samples have come out, you have appeared, Boss Li, you are not afraid that I will mess up this matter, and then you will lose nearly tens of millions of dollars? I really don't know how Boss Li you attach so much importance to me, I don't even believe that I can shoot this movie from beginning to end.
If I knew from the very beginning that the shooting situation of this movie was like this, I would not take this kind of work 100%, because at that time I really couldn't do such a situation, don't look at me as the director and screenwriter of the movie, I had a deep impression of this movie from the beginning, I thought I could finish it, but in the actual completion process, I had countless impulses to let go, it was really not easy, you don't understand what it means at all. ”
When Cameron spoke, he began to babble like a resentful woman, not caring at all about the expression fluctuations on Li Mingbao's face. Don't say that Li Mingbao doesn't understand the meaning of Cameron's words, to be honest, Cameron himself doesn't know what the purpose of his words is at this time.
At the beginning, he also designed a line when facing Li Mingbao, but when he saw Li Mingbao, Cameron's previous lines were forgotten in an unknown corner, and then he began to talk like this. It's not that Cameron was born like this, it's really the pressure Cameron has been carrying during this time, it's too big, so big that even his thick nerves can't bear it.
It's not so much that he is babbling about something he doesn't know about Li Mingbao, but that he is unburdening himself in front of Li Mingbao. At the moment when facing Li Mingbao, Cameron knew that he was finally not fighting alone, and if something happened, there was a tall man like Li Mingbao, and the pressure could also be put on Li Mingbao, and he would be much easier.
Li Mingbao naturally doesn't know how much pressure Cameron has, after all, in his image, Cameron himself can say that he is the king of the world, such a person, whether it is courage or nerves, it is extremely rough, what's the big deal about shooting a movie? He didn't make several movies in a row single-handedly, and then completely let him rise in Hong Kong. A small person like him can still be so calm, let alone an emperor like Cameron, I really haven't thought about the pressure or anything.
So in the face of Cameron's chattering appearance, Li Mingbao was a little strange why Cameron said these words, but he still smiled and said: "Isn't all this over?" Mr. Cameron, aren't you going to get this movie out now? The beginning is always difficult, but when you get past the beginning, the road becomes wider. As long as this movie is successful, then Mr. Cameron, won't you take a big step forward on the road to Hollywood?
So now we have to look forward, don't look at those difficulties, no matter how difficult things are, Mr. Cameron, haven't you overcome them too? With this experience, do you think Mr. Cameron will not be able to solve such trouble when you encounter it again? I believe that the cooperation between the two sides will definitely create a miracle, and this miracle is "The Terminator", as long as Mr. Cameron, your sample comes out and passes the review, and the rest of the thing, you don't have to worry about it at all, Mr. Cameron, because our distribution strength can definitely make Mr. Cameron very satisfied. ”
After Li Mingbao's words came out, Cameron finally came back to his senses, and then immediately regained his shrewd brain. Although the words before were a little inexplicable, they also reduced a lot of pressure in Cameron's heart, and now that Li Mingbao said such things, Cameron naturally knew what he needed to say next.
"Mr. Li, I believe that the cooperation between our two sides will be satisfactory to both of us. I also edited out a sample of the movie "Terminator", and we can go to the screening room to see the effect later. I believe that this movie will definitely not disappoint you, Mr. Li, and you will receive a satisfactory return on the investment close to 10 million yuan. Cameron said confidently at this time.
Seeing that Cameron finally didn't say those strange and incomprehensible words, but led the topic to the right track, Li Mingbao replied with a smile: "From the very beginning, I believed in your strength, Mr. Cameron, otherwise I wouldn't let you make such a movie as a newcomer."
Although it is not uncommon for Hollywood to shoot films with tens of millions of investments, it is not uncommon for a first film like Mr. Cameron to get such an investment, and investors do not give any pressure. Perhaps Mr. Cameron is the first such thing. I was able to make such a decision, and naturally I am very optimistic about Mr. Cameron's ability, so we don't need to say too much else, just look at the sample film.
And I also believe that Mr. Cameron, you will not let me do some useless work, after watching the sample, you can know Mr. Cameron, what is your current strength, to be honest, I also started as a filmmaker, when I made a movie, I was much more unlucky than Mr. Cameron, not only to invest in my own investment, but also to write the script of the movie myself, and I also recruited people, except that I was not in charge of the director, everything needs to be handled by me personally. Compared to Mr. Cameron, you have such a lot of money to make movies, even I am envious. Speaking of which, Li Mingbao also recalled that when he was filming the movie, the problems he encountered were not small.
To be honest, when he first started making movies, he had the idea of eating alone, but more often, he still hopes that a big man can share the pressure and contribute a sum of money to him, so that although the profits will be shared a lot, after all, the burden on himself will not be so big. It's a pity that at that time, no one cared about him at all, so he could only eat alone to the end. So Li Mingbao envied Cameron, it was really not a joke, if he could have an investor who could be so optimistic about him, Li Mingbao would definitely be grateful.
