Chapter 694: American Creativity, Chinese Production (1)

Who in the world can see through fame and fortune?

The great poet who 'picks chrysanthemums under the east fence and sees Nanshan leisurely', if he was not born in a famous family and has a wealthy family since he was a child, perhaps the reality will force him to chase fame and fortune in the red dust. Sun Ziming is not Tao Qian, since he was a child, the four walls of his family and the expectations of his deceased father have been engraved in his bones.

Although the death of his two wives made him grief-stricken, he untied his last shackles and shouted in front of the graves of his parents and wife, 'Murder and arson, gold belt, repair bridges, repair roads, and no corpses'. Today's Sun Ziming still has family affection, friendship, and even family and country feelings in his heart, but he has begun to embark on the road of heroism, and he has begun to act only about the result and no longer about the process.

……

The change in Sun Ziming's inner world has not changed the world, and the outside world is still impetuous as usual.

Just as he was inspecting the site selection of Jingshi University in his hometown, paying for the land and preparing the money, "Braveheart" won eight nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. is also because of Sun Ziming's miraculous performance at the box office and awards in recent years, which has made the entertainment media the king of the film world, and even some media have counted his commercial achievements and directly named him the king of the world!

A month later, at the 53rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Sun Ziming crushed his compatriot Li Yu with an absolute advantage, and "Braveheart" won four awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Soundtrack, and so on.

At 18 p.m. on March 25 (21 p.m. in the Eastern Time Zone of North America), at the '68th Academy Awards Ceremony' held at Dorothy Chandler Hall in Los Angeles, "Braveheart" once again won nine awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.

Maybe it's out of compensation for "Shawshank", maybe it's a reward for Sun Ziming's generous donation to education some time ago, or maybe it's the best director and best film of this year, so that the same director has been re-won, and the organizing committee specially arranged Fa Ge and Li Zhi to serve as the best director and best film commentators respectively.

Won two Golden Globe Awards, Oscars for Best Picture, and Best Director in two consecutive years, with the perfect combination of art and box office of films such as "Lame Hao", "Shawshank", "Forrest Gump", and "Braveheart", Sun Ziming has overwhelmed Spielberg and is recognized as the first director by Hollywood, which can be said to be standing at the peak of his film career.

But these are no longer what he wants most, after attending the Oscars and dealing with reporters, he hid at home and did not go out, and also recruited George and Jiang Peng to discuss. The research of computer special effects has swallowed up Sun Ziming's hundreds of millions of funds and countless energy, and it is time to give him a rich reward.

After watching the special effects of "Independence Day", and watching "Tornado", which produced nearly 1/3 of it, Sun Tzu explicitly signaled Douglas to turn on the lights, and George in the screening room was excited. The current effect is even better than the "Batman" and "Star Trek" made for Warner and Paramount last year, and it has completely reached the point where it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

James rushed back from the set? Cameron's first reaction was to be able to kill Lucas's industrial light and magic and vent his evil anger, but as soon as the words came out, Tim was disdainful.

"Cameron, you deserve to be a director."

James, who had just picked up a budget of 30 million from his ex-wife, was happy, and didn't care about Tim's disdain at all, but made fun of him for not messing with Sophie Marceau so far, glanced at Sun Ziming and teased: "Cut, you also deserve to play with the computer." There are so many people in me, Ming, and Chris, and they want to be replaced by someone else, not to mention a Sophie, even Nicole Kidman has hooked up! ”

The grandson, who had cut off his long hair and had shaved his head, did not change his face, and while smoking his cigarette, he motioned to Douglas to send the cost accounting form to everyone, and reminded everyone: "These things are only known to a few of our shareholders, and no one is allowed to pass them on." If any of them leak, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing anyone! ”

George and Jiang Peng, who have never interfered with the special effects company, solemnly got up, took the form and looked at it carefully, the more they looked at their faces, the more shocked they became, and James Cameron's face turned dark, and he jumped up and asked Sun Ziming: "Shit! Ming, you're going too far! Do you treat your friends and partners like that? ……”

No wonder James is so angry, the production fee of "Titanic" has exceeded 160 million US dollars, but only the footage of the film was filmed, and even the 70 million US dollar budget for the post-production Zuò cost him 30 million. In order to get those overspent budgets and complete his masterpiece, James forced Jill to give up the box office share and 1/5 of the dividend, so that she agreed to add another $40 million and raise the production fee to $200 million. Now Sun Ziming actually sued him that he originally wanted 80 million to make special effects, but in fact, it only took 20 million to complete it, isn't this treating himself as a fool and robbing his own money?

When he finished speaking, Sun Ziming patted the form in his hand and sneered: "Don't you have long eyes?" This is to outsource most of the work to Hong Kong Light and Shadow, in order to save 60 million! I've told you a long time ago, I'll do it after thinking about it, and I'll do it after thinking about it, have you listened? If you listen to me, will you overspend by 30 million? Damn, you don't know Jill's temper? Even I made "Independence Day" on a budget, why are you more special? ”

James made Sun Ziming speechless, and immediately pointed the finger at Tim again, "How did you do it?" I'm the chairman of a special effects company, how come I don't know about outsourcing? ”

The corners of Tim's mouth twitched, and he said disdainfully: "You have a problem with your brain, right?" When the boss was still recuperating, I sent you a fax and called you to tell you that you asked me to do it! ”

"Shit! aren't you going to report when I'm not busy? I think you did it on purpose! ”

"It's my business, I don't think you should be the chairman and general manager at all, do you think you are as perverted as a boss, and how many jobs can you do at the same time? As soon as the boss got busy, he handed over the company to George and Peng to manage! ”

As soon as two people with low EQ and frighteningly high IQ quarreled, Sun Ziming got used to it, and waited for them to quarrel with a smile, and George began to rub his brows. It's a good thing to be so noisy at work, but it's really annoying if it's so noisy on a regular basis.

Quarreling and arguing, Tim and James habitually looked at Sun Ziming, usually when they quarreled in the company, this guy has always been the mediator, why don't you see him squeak today?
