Chapter 18: The Stars Shine at the Oscars (4)

"If you can satisfy me then, I won't mind putting your name on the shortlist."

"Hey~ This is really ...... Exhilarating~"

See Michael. Bey's deflated look, Jerry hahadaxiao.

"I think I've heard Transformers." Just as the two were talking, James with a sloppy beard. Cameron walked over.

"Hello, Mr. Cameron" The famous king of shijie, how could Jerry not know him, Jerry didn't expect Michael. Bei's voice attracted Hollywood's strongest Jishuliu director. But also, James, who is so fascinated by Jishu. Cameron, how could he not be interested in "Transformers".

"Yes, I just talked to Michael about Transformers. However, as far as the current computer jishu is concerned, if you want to build a clear and complete Bo faction leader Optimus Prime or the mad faction leader Megatron, the possibility is large and the physical construction is a huge project, I don't think that building Transformers will be as simple as building a dinosaur, or T800 or T1000. Mr. Cameron must also know that Transformers are the ones that need to be transformed, and the most fascinating thing about "Transformers" fans like me is that if a "Transformers" movie can't show this transformation process completely, I would rather not make such a movie. ”

James. Cameron smiled and said, "Oh~ The idea is really good. Maybe I can help Digital_Domain with me."

Digital_Domain company is James. Cameron is a computer stunt production company founded in 1993.

"Haha~ James, are you going to dig my corner?" George. Lucas and Stephen. Spielberg walked over from the side at this time.

In the world of directing, James. Cameron & Stephen. Spielberg was the "enemy", and in the field of computer stunt production, he was also a partner with George. Lucas is the "wrongdoer". However, to say James. Cameron Weishenme would go into the film industry and be so obsessed with stunts Jishu that a large part of it was completely influenced by Star Wars.

James. Cameron smiled and nodded with the two enemies, "Oh~ Hello to be discovered, George." ”

"Hey~ Don't change the subject, were you changing the topic just now? I've heard you recommend Jerry your Digital_Domain company."

Five people hahadaxiao.

"Mr. Cameron, you went to Canada's 'New Discovery' coast the year before last, and participated in the filming of the "Titanic" documentary, I recently heard that you want to shoot the "Titanic" movie version?"

"Hmm~yes" James. Cameron did not deny it, "Although the Titanic sank, it has always existed in people's hearts for more than 80 years." In 1985, Robert. When Dr. Burard discovered the sinking of the Titanic, I had the idea of bringing "Titanic" to the screen. However, the conditions were not ripe at that time. For two years, my brother and I Michael. Cameron boarded the Russian scientific expedition ship Kardesh and finally entered the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and broke into two wrecks. I can't describe the shock of that real sadness."

"So, in terms of script and investment, Mr. Cameron, are you ready?"

James. Cameron shook his head, "For now, my team and I are still in the stage of gathering information, and the script and investment have not yet been decided. However, this is not a difficult thing, I have been preparing for this for more than three years, and these things have been circling in my mind for a long time to write, and it does not take much time, on the contrary, the research of certain things takes us more time. ”

Oh~ What a surprise, James. Cameron hasn't invested in Fox yet, "Well~ What if we want to invest in DreamWorks?" ”

James was stunned for a moment.

"Total investment of $200 million to $400 million"

This death is too much to say is not shocking and endless, a sentence comes out, Michael. Bay, James. Cameron, George. Lucas and Stephen. Spielberg is stupid with a total investment of 200 million to 400 million US dollars, he is not joking, you know, the movie with the highest investment so far, and the movie that has been released seems to be the 7000W "Brave Island". Universal's $175 million production cost of "Future Water Shijie" is still in post-production. And this dead Zhengtai is exported, which is 200 million to 400 million US dollars

"Hey~ Your eyeballs are about to fall out, please, don't be like this, the production cost of "Cleopatra" was 4400W US dollars, if converted according to the current currency ratio, the production cost will definitely not be less than 200 million US dollars. Moreover, just to rebuild a Titanic model, it cost 150 million yuan Mr. Cameron, don't tell me, you don't have such an idea Well~ Yes, zuihou, we still have to make this ship in half with our own hands and sink it directly, you see~ Even Universal has made the name of the biggest production, how can DreamWorks be left behind? Director Cameron is very confident, the "Terminator" series, "True Lies", "Alien 2", "Abyss", his works have always been excellent. I believe that if you give him $200 million, he will make me $2 billion, and if you give him $400 million, he will make me $4 billion. ”,

150 million to build a model and sink it? Oh my God, this guy is so much to my taste James. Cameron's eyes began to glow, and he was now staring at Jerry like he was staring at a great treasure. Fox, Fox, I'm desperate to die, and I even have to think about the $100 million budget now, even if you're Lucy. Sahanni hugged my thighs and asked me to be ruthless, begging me to accept the $100 million budget, and I didn't do it

And the others, who are going crazy, are they going crazy, and they don't treat money as money, actually, actually......

"But, Mr. Cameron, I have one condition."

James. When Cameron heard the condition, the flash in his eyes disappeared, well~ Yes, he needs a big budget, that's right, but if you want to dictate his film and ask him to hand over the editing rights, it can't be like what happened to him when he filmed "Piranha: Breeding" in Italy in 1981, he doesn't want to go through a second investment of $400 million without editing rights, and he has full control of the investment of $100 million, he would rather choose the latter.

"Oh~ Don't worry, Mr. Cameron, I don't have any other excessive requirements, I just hope that when filming the "Titanic" movie, you can consider using 3Djishu."

“3Djishu？” Jishu Crazy James. Cameron began to ponder.

"Yes, 3Djishu. I think several directors should know "African Adventures", "Wax Museum of Horror", "Black Lagoon Demon Pool" and "Friday the 13th", I was thinking, maybe, we can also make the viewing effect of the film through 3Djishu to achieve an unprecedented shocking effect, the moment the huge shipwreck crashes into the iceberg is like crushing over you"

"It's an interesting idea, but Jerry, I'm worried that the current Jishu won't be able to achieve the expected effect at all."

"Pixar is now working on further research and development of 3D graphics, and in this field, AutoDesk is also constantly working on it, and it is up to you, Mr. Cameron, to understand that you are the director, you have the final say. I'm just offering a jishu suggestion, and I've studied Mr. Don's research and Ken's research before. Mr. Marshall's "Titanic" novel, I also created a little something, um~ A script and a song Later, I asked my agent to pass them on to you, hoping to help the work of "Titanic" Hey~ Mr. Cameron, look at your relieved look, did you just think I wanted to deprive you of the editing rights? ”

James. Cameron didn't answer him, but directly confirmed the investment with Jerry, "The investment of 200 million to 400 million US dollars is so decided, you must not go back"

"Of course I won't go back, are you worried that Mr. Spielberg won't agree? Don't worry, there is money to be made, it is impossible for him not to agree, not to mention, behind DreamWorks, there is the big boss of JR Investment to help him share the risk" Jerry turned his head to look around, and saw Robert from the crowd surrounded by a group of film company owners. Soros, and then beckoned to him directly, and quickly sued you, and came in the direction of Jerry.

"I would like to introduce you to my good friend, the CEO of JR Investments, the elf stock god of Wall Street, Robert. Mr. Soros Cameron, you should know him in the future, if you have a movie and need a big investment, come to us DreamWorks, or go directly to him"

"You're the ATM of the bank?" Robert exclaimed.

The group is hahadaxiao again.

Well, in short, kidnapped James. Cameron and Titanic, Avatar are still far away? At least James. When Cameron needed to invest, he spent hundreds of millions of dollars on DreamWorks, well, it should be Jerry, and it would definitely be the first thing he thought of.
