Sun Ziming and James Cameron were so tired that they came home and slept with their heads covered after being interviewed by their own TV station. But the news of their team-up, through the live broadcast of ESPN, caused a sensation throughout the United States, and even caused an earthquake in Hollywood.

Cameron's crazy idea, few in Hollywood don't know about it, and few are optimistic about it. China Ming actually agreed to invest, does he have money and nowhere to spend? For a while, Sun Ziming and James's phone call exploded, and James's girlfriend and Lu Huiguang answered the phone all night.

The person who got through the phone couldn't help but be stunned after listening to the explanation. God, two madmen have gotten together! If you can't get through, you are so anxious that you jump to your feet, if you can participate, it means fame and dollars!

On the 'David Late-Night Talk Show' that night, David Letterman, the second person on a talk show in the United States, made fun of it.

This is normal, I expected it to be a madman meeting another madman who is not short of money. I know what they want to shoot, and they're going to let 'Charlie's Three Angels' bring Nicole and Sophie as maids-in-waiting; Schwarchenger, Stallone, Gibson, Danny, they were sailors; Tom Cruise as second mate; Tom Hanks as first mate; Marlon Brando became the captain of the ship. Oh, Robert De Niro is the villain, and a group of them fought for the eternal Monroe on the ship, fought to the death, and finally sank the 'Titanic'. ’

That's right, this represents the opinion of many people, unless all the most valuable stars in Hollywood are pulled over, how to spend 150 million dollars? As far as the stars listed by David are concerned, the total worth has not exceeded 100 million!

However, the bosses of several Hollywood giants don't see it that way. China is obviously not short of money, but it will not joke with 150 million US dollars; James is not popular, and everyone is known for his obsession with special effects technology, but he is not crazy! $150 million is a lot, but as long as the box office reaches $200 million, it won't lose much.

However, has anyone watched a disaster movie?

used 150 trillion dollars to make a movie, and compared with Sun Ziming's habit of not liking to use big-name stars, he must use this money to make special effects. However, the industrial light and magic with the best special effects did not receive business? Could it be that their newly merged 'Digital Light and Shadow' already has the strength to surpass Industrial Light & Magic?

Fortunately, ESPN's exclusive interview on the second day made everyone seem to have found the answer, "Titanic" will start filming in 1995 and is expected to be released in 1997. Oh, they must have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on special effects, and tens of millions on "Titanic", which is understandable!

Movie special effects are a money-burning business, George Lucas threw all the money he made from filming "Star Wars", and researched for more than ten years to achieve today's industrial light and magic. After China Ming was rejected by Lucas as a shareholder, all the money he earned in Hollywood was also invested in 'light and shadow special effects'.

That's at least $500 million! I didn't see anything decent coming out, and even he had to spend 20 million to ask Stan Winston for help in filming "Jurassic Park".

Hehe, two crazy people get together, and I don't know what will come out? God bless them to work out new technologies. Movies always have to improve, they have studied it, and everyone can follow suit. Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic, didn't it help everyone make "Terminator" and "ET"?

As soon as I heard that filming would start in 95 at the earliest, Hollywood also calmed down, and who knows what will happen in three years?

George Lucas, another obsessed special effects researcher, is the old bastard of Sun Ziming and James, who is the most scoffing at the news. How much money is burned by special effects, what he knows most deeply, what can be researched with 100 million dollars? Even if 500 million was spent earlier, it wouldn't work! In this field, in addition to burning money, it is time to ask!

However, his old friend Spielberg, who had just finished "Schindler's List", heard the news and hurriedly called him, "George, don't take it too lightly, Cameron and China will not do stupid things!" ”

"You have a good time filming Raiders of the Lost Ark, you don't have to worry about it. China Ming how shrewd, I know better than you, don't worry, without ten years of research, they can't surpass my industrial light and magic! ”

Both sides were friends, and Spielberg couldn't say anything, so he had to bridge the gap with what Sun Ziming had told him before, "George, Ming called me, I'm too busy and I have been forgetting to tell you." He said that "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" will give you 1% of the box office share, no, no, don't refuse, you let us hang up, and it has helped us a lot. ”

Well? The Chinese kid was pretty good, and Lucas, who was in a good mood, was happy and took the initiative to call 'Digital Light and Shadow', wanting to see how his competitors were developing.

The front desk lady was startled when she received a call from Lucas, although this old man was an old bastard in the mouth of the big boss and the new boss, but she couldn't slack off, so she hurriedly transferred the call to the real room.

James is a tech maniac, he agreed to come over and be the boss, and when he woke up, he ran over to take over the land, and he didn't even care about any move in his own company. After understanding the whole situation of the company, he began to adjust and integrate the work at hand domineeringly, and did not take Sun Ziming, who was also making special effects in this "Jurassic Park", in his eyes at all.

'The connoisseur stretches out his hand and knows if there is,' the great god made a pure technician like Tim bow down and start dancing to his baton. Of course, his bad temper silenced some people, and also made some equally bad tempered people argue with him while working. In the real yàn room, there were disputes, grabbing white, and angry shouts from time to time.

"Boss, Mr. Lucas's call."

Sun Ziming glanced at James, who was arguing with Tim in the real room, and said with a wicked smile: "You tell him, just say that the new boss doesn't have time to answer his call." He also told him that the new boss said that if he went bankrupt in the future, the new boss would send him steak and red wine every day. ”

Yes? The office assistant didn't dare to speak for a while, Sun Ziming waved his hand, "Do as I say!" ”

“yes，sir”

After Sun Ziming finished speaking, he was smug and happy, if these two pinched up, it would be beneficial. James is a very competitive person, and Lucas helped him with the special effects of "The Terminator" at the beginning, but he had a grudge because of a disagreement. Now add more fire to yourself, and the two have to fight if they don't want to! As long as the competitiveness of James' bastard is picked higher, the special effects company itself will not have to worry about it at all, and in the future, as long as he comes over to do special effects and transplants the technology back to China, it will be OK!

Lucas, who was on the other side of the phone, couldn't cry or laugh when he heard the office assistant's announcement. He's not young and vigorous, but it's contemptible, and he'll definitely fight back.

That night, when Lucas attended a charity reception, he commented on the cooperation between Sun Ziming and James in front of several reporters, "James is a genius, but his personality is too extreme and too impatient, and I am not very optimistic that China Ming will hand over the light and shadow special effects to him." Yes, the company needs sensible people to manage, not to hand it over to a genius to develop well. ”

The reporter immediately looked like a cat smelling fish, and hurriedly asked: "You mean, the light and shadow special effects will fail?" ”

"I didn't say this, everyone knows that China is the most profitable person in Hollywood, and he is also the most able to spend money. With his continuous large amount of investment, a fool can make results! ”

Okay, this news is exciting enough, James Cameron is in charge of 'Digital Light and Shadow', if you can't get decent results, you are not as good as a fool!

……

People in the entertainment industry will definitely care about entertainment news. James, who was talking about the budget of the movie at the special effects company and the new deputy general manager (producer of "True Lies"), saw that Lucas compared himself to a fool on the TV, and he was so angry that he yelled at the TV, "Bastard!" Old bastard! ……”

After scolding, James was no longer interested in films like "True Lies", so he thought about making a grand masterpiece like "Titanic", and slapped Lucas speechless. When he did the special effects of "Terminator", he was squeezed by that bastard, and when he filmed "Terminator 2", he was counted down again, forcing him to set up a 'digital field' when he had money, and he would rather have a worse effect and let his own company do special effects.

Jill divorced James in the first place, also because of his bad temper, and she has seen this situation a lot today. When James calmed down a bit, he knocked on the table, "Cameron, we have to continue to discuss, 100 million dollars is too much." I've done the math, a maximum of $90 million will do. In this way, the 30 million that Fox promised, plus your ......"

As soon as he heard that the budget had dropped, James didn't want to shoot it anymore, anyway, the special effects company could make an effect that satisfied him, why would he still make such a film?

"NO, let Ming come and shoot this garbage film, I won't shoot it! Just a little money, and 15 million dollars to that Austrian, how do you let me shoot? ”

James's brushing away made Jill thunder, she was not one of those gentle women. Jill chased him all the way to his office and slammed the door shut, and the ex-couple quarreled so much that they were close to going all-out.

Sun Ziming, who was coming out of the post-production room, heard a faint quarrel, and at the door of his new super partner office, there were a bunch of people who were 'listening' to the excitement.

Hey, what could make these guys not afraid of that tyrant? Sun Ziming hurriedly walked a few steps, pulled over a white girl who was standing on the periphery, stretching her neck on tiptoe, and pointed inside, "What's wrong with them?" ”

"I heard it was a quarrel"

Isn't this nonsense?

Seeing the big boss coming, the guy who was lying on the door and eavesdropping like an agent 'shh ”

"I know, what's the noise?"

The American Light and Shadow Company continues the tradition of Hong Kong, as long as it does not delay work, there are never any rules, and the boss and employees are often no big or small. This black boy is not afraid of Sun Ziming, the big boss, and said mysteriously: "James doesn't want to direct "True Lies" anymore, he wants you to direct, his ex-wife is arguing with him about this. ”

"Oh, this thing", as soon as Sun Ziming finished speaking, he immediately felt that the big thing was not good, and hurriedly went back to do his own thing. Bird, I'm going to get myself in trouble with my mouthy at James's house! I have two films to make next year, and the time schedule is full, how can I have time to shoot "True Lies"?

Sun Ziming's expectation did not happen, which also proved Jiang Peng's opinion about Jill: a person like James can only be dealt with by Jill who is as tough as him; Jill is an excellent talent, and although he doesn't have a good temper, he is very popular in the circle and must have the ability to make full use of the company's distribution channels.

Hearing that Jill had leveled the tyrant James, Sun Ziming couldn't help but be curious, and asked the assistant to invite her to come over to teach her experience, and then talk about George and Jiang Peng's plans.
