Chapter 574: Controlling the Future of Blockbusters (8)

There was silence in the conference room for a long time, and the frustrated James finally spoke, his voice hoarse like a dying old man, "Ming, "Titanic" is yours, you can pay me the screenwriting fee according to the proportion of those episodes." ”

Seeing James Cameron, such a rigid person bowed his head, Sun Ziming suddenly felt a burst of interest, motioned to Li Rui at the door to stop him, and also said hoarsely: "Cameron, "Titanic" is still yours. If you don't mind, let's talk? ”

"No, I mind", James wanted to push Li Rui away, this Chinese bastard won, he has money, and he can't find an investor. Hey, if you lose, you lose because you don't have any money.

It's a pity that this is Sun Ziming's territory, and James, who was already exhausted, almost forced Li Rui to press on the chair, and when he wanted to be angry again, he said dejectedly: "Okay, now you can show off your victory!" ”

Sun Ziming sighed, and said in a low voice: "I went to visit you that day, and my public relations manager told me that some people in Hollywood have selected several directors. At that time, I said that you are an unborn genius who will make an irreplaceable contribution to the development of cinema. ”

James was stunned, Jiang Peng and Li Rui were also stunned, and the next words made James and the three of them stunned.

"Actually, what I want to say most is that if Hollywood really wants to select several major contemporary directors, Spielberg is first, you are second, and Lucas is third, hmph, I can only rank after you. Huh"

Sun Ziming laughed at himself for a while before he mocked: "Those who don't understand bullshit, Spielberg is strong in the perfect combination of humanities and business, and he deserves to be the first." You're an unborn genius with an unparalleled imagination and a spirit to strive for perfection, so you're second. Lucas? He is old and is about to retire from the stage of history, what else can he shoot except for the "Star Wars" series? ”

After lighting a cigarette and taking a few puffs, Sun Ziming's affection slowly adjusted, and he tried to convince the genius again, "You will definitely say that I am currying favor with you and trying to attract you." You're wrong, I know where I'm weak. Spielberg has "ET", you have "Terminator", that old bastard has "Star Wars", you see my movies, almost all of them are extracted from reality, and I have never created a thing that does not exist in zài, and this is the imagination that I lack the most. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Ziming didn't bother to pay attention to James's feelings, anyway, whether it was like this or not, and said to himself: "Do you think I am humiliating you by exchanging 20% of my shares for your worthless company?" You're wrong, if it weren't for balancing the interior, I'd give you 49%! As I said earlier, only if you join in, the light and shadow effects will have imagination, and imagination is the key to changing the world. With my ability, I can only do this far with special effects, and if I want to go further, I can only rely on people like you. ”

James sneered and said disdainfully: "Ming, you are a genius, but you are also a hypocrite!" The humanistic spirit of "Shawshank", and "Lame Hao", you think I'm a fool? ”

Sun Ziming shook his head and firmly denied: "NO, you haven't seen "Schindler's List", I talked to Spielberg, I know how great that movie is!" If in terms of artistic value, Hollywood's nearly ninety years of history, it is the first! ”

"Really?"

Sun Ziming also sneered twice, pointed at him with a cigarette, and then pointed at himself, and said proudly: "Cameron, do people like us still disdain to lie?" ”

Perhaps it was the phrase 'people like us' that made James feel the same way, because of his bad temper, he was both ostracized and sought after in Hollywood. Geniuses are all lonely, because no one can understand his thoughts, only the Chinese young man in front of him can understand him, and he is full of praise and reasons for his ridiculous ideas that others seem.

After being silent for a while, James finally stretched out his hand to Sun Ziming, "The new company is called 'Digital Light and Shadow Special Effects', and my shares will be deducted from the dividends." ”

James's hoarse voice, which is not as good as the Sanskrit sound above the Nine Heavens for Sun Ziming, hurriedly got up to shake hands, but his knees hit the foot of the table hard, and the pain made him tears almost flow out.

'Hahaha', James smiled like a male duck, walked over and pulled up Sun Ziming, who was rubbing his kneecaps vigorously, patted his head and said, "Child, I only believe that you are sincere now." ”

Sun Ziming glared at him angrily, rubbed the painful place, and scolded: "Shit! If I didn't treat you as a bosom friend, I would definitely let you be fooled at any cost, let you invest all your money in your broken company, and then squeeze you bankrupt!" ”

"It's late, but if I can bankrupt that bastard Lucas, I'll definitely send him red wine and steak every day after he goes bankrupt!"

The knee finally didn't hurt too much, Sun Ziming wrapped his arms around James's neck, and the two walked out shoulder to shoulder, echoing: "Remember to call me, that old bastard, he's a haughty, downright big bastard!" If he goes bankrupt, I will invite him to stay at the Hilton Hotel and arrange a girl for him, and I will definitely call you to watch him play a passion play! ”

"Hey", the two of them laughed darkly.

Out of the conference room, there was already an ESPN reporter waiting outside, "Mr. Cameron, have you reached a cooperation agreement with Ming?" ”

James, who felt that he was being tricked, just wanted to get angry, Sun Ziming blocked the camera with his hand and said in a low voice: "Cameron, you will be a shareholder of ESPN in the future, and you will have a share of every dollar you earn!" OK? ”

James then remembered that in addition to selling the shares of his special effects company, this young man also had the shares of the light and shadow group, so he had to hold his temper, opened Sun Ziming's hand, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have happily discussed with China Ming for a long time, and I am ready to merge the 'digital field' and 'light and shadow special effects' to establish a new 'digital light and shadow special effects company', with myself as the chairman and general manager." In addition, I will join the Light and Shadow Group as the art director of ESPN. ”

The reporter who was temporarily sent over was so excited that his hands trembled, and when James finished speaking, he hurriedly turned the microphone to Sun Ziming. Unbeknownst to him, James almost snatched the microphone over, and said in a comfortable mood: "Ming also promised me that he would invest 150 million US dollars in a film about the theme of 'Titanic'." ”

After speaking, James turned his face, pasted it with Sun Ziming, and finally smiled: "Fans, China Ming is a rich big man, let's look forward to the unprecedented, real 150 million dollar big production zuò!" ”

Sun Ziming just wanted to speak, his eyes swept to Jiang Peng, who was making gestures, and immediately understood that this was a live broadcast, so he had to echo in a hoarse voice: "Yes, we were talking about this just now, and our throats were hoarse." I'm really going to invest in that film, and I'm going to give my new partner, 150 million dollars. ”

The audience in front of the TV is stupid, 150 million dollars to make a movie?

"Jurassic Park" and "Terminator 2" invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and those two films either paid tens of millions of dollars, or included other expenses, in fact, the real production fee did not exceed 60 million.

God, what kind of movie will be made with $150 million in production fees?
