Chapter 404: Cameron the Great's Helplessness

readx;

But now, Cameron has to give the producer he has worked with the most happily, not one. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info called again, because the emperor was about to lose his movie, and if he didn't find a producer, he really couldn't hold back.

"Mr. Li, I don't know if you, the producer, really care about your investment. Seven and a half million dollars, even in the United States, is not a small amount. But why didn't you, as an investor, care about it at all? Cameron was on the other end of the phone, and the resentment in his tone was thick and Li Mingbao could clearly feel it.

Regarding Cameron's resentment, can Li Mingbao say that he really almost forgot about it? Of course not. That kind of blow to Emperor Cameron should not be small, Li Mingbao is still waiting for the Emperor to cooperate with him in the future, where can he be so careless?

"Mr. Cameron, of course I am very concerned about my investment, 7.5 million US dollars, not 7.5 million yen, so much money, for me, is not a small amount, how can you say that I don't care about this money at all? Actually, I care a lot, but I believe in your strength, Mr. Cameron, and I am very relieved to invest in your films. I'm also here to avoid interfering with your work ideas. Li Mingbao said sincerely on the other end of the phone.

For the emperor to make movies, Li Mingbao really doesn't need to be too entangled, at least in the history that Li Mingbao knows, the emperor really hasn't lost money when he makes movies, although many times, his movies are more thrilling, but after all, they can pass smoothly, what is Li Mingbao afraid of? Besides, with the quality of "The Terminator", Li Mingbao has nothing to be afraid of, so that the movies that can be included in the American film textbook, if they all hit the streets, Li Mingbao really has no movies to dare to invest in.

Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, Cameron's face was very thick, but he also blushed a little, but fortunately he was on the phone, not directly face to face with Li Mingbao. Li Mingbao's subconscious words, doesn't it mean that his desire to control the crew is too strong? This reputation is not very good, although in fact he is indeed such a person, but it is such a person, and it is not the same as being said by others to be such a person. Especially when these words came out of the mouth of Li Mingbao, the producer, it would be quite embarrassing.

Cameron the Great in this year is not a coaxing existence like "Titanic" in later generations, and even his current "Terminator" is actually the first time he has really been in charge of being a full-fledged director, so with this reputation, it is actually a considerable burden for Cameron.

"Mr. Li, in fact, I really want to communicate more with producers like you, my time in Hollywood is not short, and it is the first time I have met a producer like you who is easy to talk to, but Mr. Li, you have too many things, and even if you usually want to communicate with you, you can't find anyone, in this case, what can I do?" Cameron said helplessly.

Cameron's words are definitely not lies, think about what Li Mingbao has done during this period of time after the filming of "The Terminator" started, you can understand how busy he is, the mainland of the United States and Hong Kong run together, and they all have big moves, and they are not afraid of big moves, the problem is that Li Mingbao's big moves are all made in a short period of time, whether it is the reform of film companies in the United States, or the large-scale development in the mainland, and even staring at the CCTV advertising business, It's not an easy thing to do, and even if Li Mingbao's hometown Hong Kong is now engaged in circulation port, any of these things are more influential and invested than the movie "Terminator", Li Mingbao is busy with so many things, where is there time to take care of a movie?

He hasn't made a movie himself for more than half a year, let alone whether he can take care of the movie he invests in, even if the money is thrown into the water, he doesn't care, of course, with Cameron, the emperor, on top, this movie will definitely not lose money. Under such circumstances, it is really difficult to get Li Mingbao to care.

"I understand what Mr. Cameron meant, I really don't care enough about the crew, mainly because I have a lot of other businesses in the recent past, and I am completely unavailable, if it weren't for Mr. Cameron calling me today, maybe I would have flown to Taiwan now.

For the movie "Terminator", I am very confident, mainly because there is Mr. Cameron, the director, I believe that with your movie, it will not be bad, so Mr. Cameron, you should bear more about the problems of this crew. Anyway, there is no need to worry about the release, Mr. Cameron, I have already contacted Twentieth Century Fox, they do the distribution, I believe Mr. Cameron, you will definitely not be dissatisfied. Li Mingbao smiled and said to Cameron on the other end of the phone.

"I know that Mr. Li, you have a good relationship with Twentieth Century Fox, and what I want to talk about now is not about the crew, nor about the distribution, let alone Mr. Li, you need to invest more, but this movie has been filmed so far, and even the special effects in the later stage are now done. I'm calling you, mainly to tell Mr. Li that you can take this movie and edit it.

Hell, it's the first time I've seen a producer like you who is so irresponsible with a movie, can you just believe that you can solve any problem? I admit that you have spared no effort in supporting me on this film, Mr. Lee, and I am grateful to work with a producer like you, but this does not hide the fact that you are indifferent to the film. I like you as a producer who doesn't limit the director, but I hate your perfunctory attitude towards movies, is this how your movies come out? Can't you think more about movies? Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Cameron not only was not grateful, but began to run wild.

Working with a producer who doesn't limit himself at all, Cameron is absolutely in a good mood. But no matter how comfortable the mood is, it also has to be considered for the movie, as a fairly pure filmmaker, Cameron attaches great importance to his first movie, but his attention is put on Li Mingbao's side, but in exchange for words full of belief, how can this not make Cameron go berserk?

A word of belief can cover up all perfunctory, which is not at all what a person who makes movies should have. If Cameron was grateful for Li Mingbao's loose management method before, but now when it comes to the sample film, Li Mingbao, the producer, has not fulfilled his obligations at all, which is an irresponsible idea.

Cameron's strong smell of gunpowder was smelled by Li Mingbao on the other end of the phone, but he was very confused about Cameron who suddenly lost his temper.

"I know about the post-production of the film, didn't you fax it to me before? Haven't you started editing Terminator yet? It's your job, why are you pushing me? Still losing his temper with me, is it true that Hollywood directors, even editing such work, have to be done by me as a producer, instead of what you, a director, should do? ā€

"What? I'm going to do the editing? My God! Mr. Li, are you confused, shouldn't editing such a job be done by people from your company? Hearing Li Mingbao's answer, Cameron was even more surprised than Li Mingbao.

"How could someone from our company do it? I'm just a producer, in charge of investment and release, shouldn't it be the director's responsibility to put a film in front of the audience? Could it be that I, a producer who has been on the set for less than a week, am more familiar with your own films than you, as a director? Li Mingbao said unhappily at this time.

He is indeed very optimistic about the Emperor, but now the Emperor has put the work he should do into his own hands, what does this mean? You Cameron movies still need someone else to edit, how many people in the whole of Hollywood dare to have such confidence? Li Mingbao never thought that his film literacy would be higher than that of this guy who drove a truck, he made movies, but he could reach the level of imitation, but people like Cameron, but the characters who pioneered the precedent, are of different grades, Cameron asked himself to cut the film, is it to make a fool of DreamWorks?

Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Cameron was a little dazed on the other end of the phone, and only after a long ring did he speak: "Mr. Li, are you really the Mr. Li who filmed a ghost in Hollywood?" Don't you know that few directors are qualified to get editing rights for movies released in Hollywood, and directors with such power are all real big directors in Hollywood, and I also hope that I have editing rights, but novice directors who only made my first movie are not qualified to have editing rights. Is it true that your films, including those in your company, are edited by the director himself? ā€

Hearing Cameron's helpless words with a bitter tone, Li Mingbao suddenly remembered at this time that Hollywood movies and Hong Kong movies are completely two different concepts, just like Cameron said, there are really few directors who can have editing rights in Hollywood, and those directors, which one is not really famous? Although Cameron can have this confidence in the future, at least for now, Cameron really doesn't have the right to edit movies. After understanding this question, Li Mingbao understood that the words between him and Cameron just now were completely talking about chickens and ducks.

A guy who has always had the right to edit his own movies, how can he understand the bitterness of others? In fact, whether in Hong Kong or Hollywood, there are not many directors who can really edit their own films. The reason why Li Mingbao has never encountered such a problem is that he didn't understand it until Cameron mentioned this problem. It's because he hasn't taken the usual path since he made his first movie.

His first film was made by himself, and in the end, he edited it himself. then borrowed the Shaw Brothers theater chain and screened the movie. And with the results of the first movie, the subsequent movies have basically been eating alone, he is not only the producer of the film, but also the actual director, and even the investor, who can compete with him for the power of editing?
