Chapter 408: The Next Target

"Little one, what do you want to drink?"

Into the office, James? Cameron made the black tea himself, and after filling it up for Ryan and George, he asked Taylor, who was sitting next to Ryan, "Juice or black tea?" ”

"Don't." Taylor shook his little head, jumped off the couch, and beckoned to George, "You definitely have to talk about work, it's boring and boring, and you need to keep it secret, I'd better go outside with George." ”

Then, she grimaced at Ryan, "Don't think I don't know what to say, you all think I'm a big mouth like Scarlett." ”

"Naughty." Ryan rubbed her head dotingly, and admonished, "Don't be mischievous." ”

After George took her out, Ryan and James? Cameron sipped black tea and chatted about business.

"I had a lot of ideas for a new type of camera," he says. James? Cameron said of what he's been doing lately, "I've made a deal with Sony to develop new camera equipment to turn my vision into reality. ”

James? Cameron is full of wild ideas, but to turn these ideas into reality, it takes not only funding, but also the support of relevant manufacturers.

"How's it going?" Ryan asked with concern.

"The first batch of products will be delivered after the new year, and I will use them to shoot a deep-sea documentary to test the actual effect of the equipment." James? Cameron made a reassuring gesture to Ryan and swore reassuringly, "I promise your investment won't go down the drain." ”

"Come on, Jim." Ryan spread his hands indifferently, "We don't need to say things like that between us. ”

"What about the acquired manufacturers? Haven't you set a goal yet? Ryan remembered the name he had seen on the company's report some time ago and couldn't help but say, "Actually, I have a pretty good goal." ”

James? Cameron immediately thought of the company that was lobbying for major Hollywood studios, and tentatively asked, "It can't be the Canadian company, right?" ”

"And what about your goals?" Ryan didn't answer. Asked rhetorically.

"I think 3D and IMAX will lead the way in the future." James? Cameron's words couldn't be more obvious.

"Wow, Jim, we have a tacit understanding."

As soon as Ryan's words fell, James? Cameron's protest, "You can't say that, it's going to be misleading, Ryan, I know your sexual orientation is normal, and I'm not a!" ”

Something, in the eyes of some old friends. There were some clues, but before the parties chose to make it public, they all tacitly remained silent.

James? Cameron walked back to his desk, retrieved a stack of IMAX materials, and handed it to Ryan.

Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, IMAX is now listed on the NASDAQ, and Ryan remembers that in 1997, the company was recognized for its achievements in film technology. He won the Academy Award for Independence from the Film Institute.

The company is the owner of IMAX technology and related equipment, mainly engaged in the research and development of film and digital technology, core patents include 3D technology, post-production and projection technology, and its business scope includes the design, rental, sales, maintenance and operation of IMAX theater and projection systems. Filming, production and distribution of IMAX format films, development and production of cameras and projectors.

In other words, it's a good investment.

Although IMAX technology was created decades ago, there are a handful of IMAX theaters in North America. However, this film technique is now more used in planetariums and natural history museums, and there are very few theaters willing to use it.

The huge upfront investment has limited the development of this technology. In the 90s, Hollywood did not generate any revenue despite the emergence of several IMAX movies, and now there are few companies willing to spend huge sums of money to IMAX movies.

Failure to completely open the door to Hollywood means that the business is shrinking, in fact, IMAX has not grown since its establishment, and it is only a very inconspicuous small public company on the NASDAQ.

Ryan saw the name of the company from a document about "The Matrix" from Julis, and now they have sent a large number of business personnel to lobby in major Hollywood studios, hoping to open this door that has always only exposed a gap to them.

And their goal is "The Matrix", which has had a huge impact this year, and since the Wachowski brothers have already begun post-production of the second part, IMAX has lobbied Jenkins Pictures executives to IMAX the third part of "The Matrix".

This matter, the last to Ryan's side, he temporarily suppressed it, after all, the third part will not start post-production until the second part is released next year, and he is not in a hurry.

It was also because of this incident that he came to the TV series production area on the Fox set after the meeting to meet James? Cameron.

The current IMAX company is a bit like the Pixar studio before the release of "Toy Story", as long as there is the right opportunity, he can soar.

And Ryan, a theater worker in his previous life, certainly knows what kind of development 3D and IMAX will get in the future.

The truck driver on the other side played a crucial role in promoting these two techniques, and in his previous life, he not only cooperated with IMAX, but also mastered the core patents of the new 3D movie.

"Ryan, since we're aligned ...... goals"

James? Cameron said unceremoniously, "I need financial support!" ”

Although he also has a lot of net worth, he is still not enough to see a listed company.

"Jim, I'll let Scott? Swift fully cooperates with your work, both in terms of funding and manpower. Of course, Ryan will not hesitate, the current IMAX company is not very remarkable, and it will attract more attention in three to five years at most.

"You're the best partner." James? Cameron laughed.

"I trust your vision, Jim." Ryan sipped his coffee slowly and said casually, "This project is led by you, where there is a need, just ask." ”

"Then you're welcome."

James? Cameron's words. I can't help but let Ryan see a tyler with a beard? Swift, sure enough, the truck driver was not polite at all, "When you came in, you should have seen the heroine, right?" Help her find a suitable role in the movie. ”

If it weren't for James? Cameron vs. Jessica? Alba's family does have some connections, and Ryan has to wonder if this guy has changed his tastes.

This is a minor problem after all, with James? Cameron's friendship for so many years is here, and he will be a partner with entangled interests in the future.

After thinking for a moment, Ryan spoke. "Okay, Jim......"

Seeing James? Cameron was about to speak again, but Ryan interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Do you still want to replace that Catherine?" Isabel asks for a role, right? ”

"Come on, Ryan, I just wanted to say thank you!" Cameron scratched his beard in displeasure.

"Wow, that's rare, the tyrant on the set will thank people." After the exaggerated joke, Ryan said seriously. "Since you think this Jessica? Miss Alba has potential, so I'll give her a chance to be the protagonist. ”

"Scream 3" has been filmed, and if nothing else, it will be released next year. No matter what, Ryan won't let Charlize again? Theron continues to star in the series, always with a suitable vase, and that Jessica? Miss Alba. It's a very good candidate, anyway, she can only be a vase, so let her take over the South African diamond.

And the heroine is not her own person anymore. You can also enlarge the scale a little, and the means that R-rated movies can attract people, all that should be used are used.

Jessica? Miss Alba is gradually maturing, and with her figure, she will definitely attract a lot of viewers.

In just a short moment, Ryan thought about how to maximize his benefits, and it can be said that there is a huge gap in his attitude towards friends and non-friends.

"Do you need me to let her in and thank you?" James? Cameron knows that Ryan has always kept his promises in this regard, and he will definitely do it.

"No need." Ryan waved his hand, "The movie is a sequel to Scream, and there is still some time before filming, you can ask Miss Alba if she is not interested......"

"She'll definitely say yes."

In North America, the gap between the average TV star and a movie star is very large, unless she is Jennifer? Aniston, otherwise he would certainly not have turned down such an opportunity.

Besides, even Jennifer? Aniston, a recognized American sweetheart, also wants to seek further development on the big screen, but can't find the right opportunity.

Finalized some more collaborations, Ryan and James? Cameron left the office, and Taylor was in the photo booth playing with Miss Alba, seemingly practicing her fists and kicks.

Of course, the little girl's talent in this area is very far from the music, and she always has a bad balance and falls on the thick mat.

"Alison, we should go." Ryan shouted over there.

"Here it is."

Taylor jumped off the mat, retrieved George's bag, and quickly ran back.

"So be it, Jim." Ryan vs. James who sent them out? Cameron waved his hand, "I'll get Scott to contact you as soon as possible." ”

"See you soon, Director Cameron." After getting into the battery car, Taylor also waved politely.

Sitting on the moving battery car, Ryan took out a tissue, wiped a few drops of sweat off the little girl's forehead, and asked, "Have you had fun?" ”

"It's okay, Jessica is very interesting, she even asked me to hang out with me in the future." Taylor wrinkled her small nose, "She laughs so sweetly." ”

"It's just that people don't look very beautiful." She added.

"No one is as pretty as you, darling." Ryan carefully tidied up the little girl's loose blonde hair. (To be continued......)
