Chapter 806 - The Cost of Movies and Directors Who Scare People!

Except for Hollywood stars, whether there is a contract, there is no contract, and there is no money. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Du Chung X asked to join Karali in the film to play a role.

In terms of the selection of directors, there is also good news.

What, Mel Gibson, Spielberg and the like all took the initiative to stretch out the green branches, expressing their willingness to be the director of this film, and the asking price is extremely low.

However, Karali is also half a insider.

believes that Spielberg's style does not seem to be suitable for directing such a purely commercial hero film.

Mel Gibson's words, the works of the past few years, have become more and more literary. There is a saying that Wenqing is a disease and must be cured.

After waiting for another half a month, when James Cameron also took the initiative to send a post, asking if the director had chosen!

Subtext, when it's so obvious.

Karali thinks that maybe the director he wants can be determined by a person with a high chance.

James Cameron was born on August 16, 1954 in Ontario, Canada, and directed his first film "Piranha 2: Reproduction" in 1981. In 1984, he became famous for writing and directing the science fiction movie "The Terminator".

In 1986, he wrote and directed the movie "Alien 2". In 1991, he won the 18th Saturn Awards, Best Director and Best Screenplay for the movie "Terminator 2". In 1994, he directed the movie "True Lies".

In 1997, he directed the film "Titanic" and achieved a box office of $1.84 billion, breaking the global box office record.

The film won 11 awards at the 70th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and James Cameron also won the Academy Award for Best Director for the film.

In 2005, he was named "one of the 20 greatest directors in the world" by the British magazine Empire.

In 2010, he was selected as one of the "World's Most Influential People" by Time Magazine.

In 2011, he won the Producers Guild of America Award Milestone Award. By 2018, it has won various prestigious awards several times.

He is good at taking some simple methods according to local conditions and achieving good results. That is, with a relatively small investment, to achieve greater economic effect, as well as picture effect.

Whether it is in terms of fame, prestige, qualifications, and directing skills, there is no doubt about it. James Cameron is one of the most suitable candidates!

Just when Karali was determined to pick out Cameron's subtext and work with him.

Suddenly, that very night, another great director sent obvious goodwill to Karali.

He's Michael Bay.

In 2006, the sci-fi film "Escape from Clone Island" directed by Michael was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film.

In 2007, Michael began directing the sci-fi action film "Transformers", which won various awards after its release. In 2014, Michael's "Transformers 4" was released, and as of August 5, the global box office of "Transformers 4" exceeded more than $1 billion.

He is a very bold and return-on-investment director, a professional director in commercial films.

For a moment, Karali was in a tangle.

Fortunately, he didn't last long.

Because, a big brother director in the Hollywood film industry, Jing Ran also publicly stated that he wanted to direct this movie and become a real work.

He is, George Lucas.

George Lucas, born on May 14, 1944 in California, is a legendary American director, producer, and screenwriter.

In 1980, he worked on the Star Wars sequel, The Empire Strikes Back. In 1999, George Lucas directed the film Star Wars I: The Phantom Crisis.

In 2002, he directed the film "Star Wars 2: Attack of the Clones". In 2005, Lucas received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute.

In 2012, Lucas announced that he was "retiring" and would no longer take on any commercial productions.

He has declared his commitment to philanthropy: "I will give most of my fortune to improve education." Because education is the key to human survival, we must take a solid first step towards this goal. I hope that through my own efforts, children can understand the importance of society and emotions. ”

The legendary directors of the closed door are willing to go out of the mountain again, and Karali naturally wants to give face.

So, in the end, a statement was issued to the public, and X asked George Lucas to be the main director of the new film.

As soon as this statement came out, there was no thought, and there was an unexpected joy.

James Cameron and Michael Bay, who had no objection to it, contacted Karali and the media to indicate that they were willing to become assistant directors. Together, we will work with the masters to complete this modern authentic and legendary filmmaking.

At the moment, let Karali be overjoyed, that can be opposed. Say yes right away!

So, as soon as the news of the cooperation between the three directors came out, it immediately raised the level of external publicity of this movie, which had not yet started filming, by several grades. It has attracted more attention and expectations from fans all over the world!

And after Karali was happy, he also made the film budget given by the three directors after the meeting, almost scared to pee.

The requirements of the three masters for art and for perfect cinema are obviously ...... Extreme paranoia and stubbornness...... Plus, burn money!

Take Cameron as an example, a few decades ago, the second part of "Terminator" was originally planned to invest $60 million. As a result, when the filming was finished, he spent a full 120 million!

The film company that invested in the shooting went bankrupt directly. You can imagine that $120 million a few decades ago is equivalent to how many dollars it will be in 2023. Not to mention more, but less is equivalent to a billion dollars, right?

And there is also another example, which is the famous movie "Titanic" several decades ago...... Invest more than two or three hundred million!

Now in 2023, it is definitely equivalent to this movie, which cost two or three billion dollars.

For a moment, Karali had a concern......

After all, he is only the second largest shareholder of the company. The first big boss is Zhu Zilong, and the cost of this movie will be raised to about 3 billion US dollars at once, saying that he wants to shoot the effect of a blockbuster of the century.

Even if the bank is willing to lend, it must first obtain the consent of Zhu Zilong, the boss!

But now, Zhu Zilong, the mysterious boss, has disappeared again, and according to international practice, I am afraid it will take another two or three months before he can appear.

Thinking about this, Karali thought to himself, I can only drag it for the time being. Anyway, the preparation of the movie will take a year, and if you drag it out in two or three months, it will pass.

Still, when the time comes, after asking Zhu Zilong, let's talk about it!

However, it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, first, there are banks willing to lend, and second, the risk of this movie is extremely small. Third, he and Zhu Zilong are both rich people, and they are not ordinary rich.
