After chatting with Yuan Heping for a few more words, Lin Mu and Lin Zhiling finally found Li Lianjie and Li Zhi in the crowd. Warner Studios supported Li Lianjie to star in "Deadly Romeo", and Li Lianjie took the opportunity to recommend his old partner Yuan Biao to Warner. At the premiere of Luo Shirt, Li Lou, Michelle Yeoh, Warner officials, a large number of reporters and many other stars rushed to cheer.

Surprisingly, at the premiere. Warner arranged for Chinese subtitles to be produced first, and then English subtitles, such treatment has never been seen before. Li Lianjie's honor was also applauded by the audience at the premiere, and the American media reported at the time: "This incident reflects the respect and importance that the United States attaches to Li Lianjie." This film won a big win with a small investment, and the Warner boss immediately made a lot of money in his pocket, treating Jet Li as a baby.

In order to retain Li Lianjie, Warner can be said to have made a lot of money, they not only promised Li Lianjie to shoot two movies with an investment of more than 100 million yuan with him as the protagonist, but also fulfilled Li Lianjie's promise in the card year. When he married Li Zhi in Los Angeles, the chairman of Warner personally congratulated him and gave him a generous gift. This made Li Lianjie very moved.

Of course, another important consideration for Warner to do this is Li Lianjie's personal relationship with Lin Mu. As we all know, several Chinese filmmakers in Hollywood have a close personal relationship with Paramount Chairman Lin Mu, and many collaborations are also with Paramount. Even the Xiangjiang movie is the first of its kind for Paramount. Warner once suffered a secret loss in the hands of Lin Mu because of the copyright issue of "The Matrix", so they were worried that Li Lianjie would be poached in Paramount, which was very courteous to Li Lianjie.

Now the relationship between Paramount and Warner is indeed a bit of a coincidence, but this does not affect Lin Mu's invitation to Li Lianjie, and Li Lianjie, who is newly married to Yan'er, is also happy to go to the appointment.

But for some reason, seeing Li Zhi standing next to Li Lianjie with a happy face, Lin Zhiling suddenly felt a little gloomy.

Soon after Li Lianjie's marriage, director Li Jieda came to congratulate him and asked Li Lianjie to star in Li Mubai in the new film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". At this time. Li Zhi has been pregnant for several months, and Li Lianjie rejected "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in order to take care of his wife. During this time, he also pushed off five Hollywood films. This incident spread through the media. Later, Li Zhi used four small words to say how he felt about marrying Jet Li: "This life is not in vain!" ”

Lin Mu, who was busy greeting Li Lianjie, did not notice the subtle change in Lin Zhiling's expression. And Lin Zhiling also quickly adjusted her emotions, she did not forget her identity at this time. She took the initiative to step forward and took Lizhi, whose lower abdomen was already slightly raised, to the table to the side and sat down.

"Sister Li, you are really blessed, found such a good man as Mr. Li Lin Chiling said with some envy.

"How can I have your blessings, Lin Xian's life is light and successful, and his character and talent are first-class, and you are a pair of beautiful people, you two don't know how many others you envy!" Li Zhi said with a smile.

"Sister Li, you have been waiting for Mr. Li for so many years, have you ever thought about giving up in the middle? . The seven-year-long love run has witnessed the relationship between Li Lianjie and Li Zhi, and Lin Zhiling, who is deeply entangled in this kind of love, will inevitably have such confusion.

"As long as two people truly love each other, it's a lifelong thing. Since you believe that he is your destiny, why give up? "Li Zhi enlightened Lin Zhiling as a young person." By the way, when are you going to get married?

"Marriage" Lin Zhiling was stunned for a moment, and we haven't thought much about this now. ”

"You are in the prime of your life. But don't just be busy with your own work, you should also think about this problem when you have time, Mr. Lin is very good in all aspects, I am afraid that if such a man misses it, he will never meet the second one! Li Zhi suggested.

"Hmm!" Lin Zhiling nodded, she felt that she should seriously consider Li Zhi's suggestion.

Lin Zhiling and Li Zhi talked about emotional topics on one side, while Lin Mu and Li Lianjie talked more about movie-related topics. During the conversation, Li Lianjie also mentioned the recent activity of Xiangjiang films, which he felt was a good sign for the development of Chinese-language films.

But Lin Mu expressed more concern about this problem, because he knew that if the revival of this end could not support the confidence of the entire Chinese film market, then Xiangjiang Films would face more serious challenges.

In terms of their views on the future, the two did have a lot of differences, although Lin Mu believed in his own judgment, he did not want to convince Li Lianjie. Regardless, it's always a bad thing to have a good hope for the future. While the two were talking, Cheng Long also came over, he also came to find Lin Mu, and it just so happened that Li Lianjie was also there, three of them. And so they talked.

Cheng Long asked Li Lianjie about his plans after getting married in the United States, and Li Lianjie said that his career in Hollywood has just started, and he has continuous film appointments, so he has no plans to leave Hollywood for the time being. Cheng Long has similar thoughts to Yuan Heping, and he feels that Hong Kong films have performed eye-catching in the past year. There is a great momentum of vigorous troops and regrouping. Although he has also made some achievements in Hollywood, after all, his roots in Xiangjiang are deeper, so he also moved the idea of returning to Xiangjiang to make films.

The decline of Xiangjiang films has caused a large outflow of talent, and now if you want to rise again, talent is indeed the key. And from the perspective of personal development, Cheng Long's development space in Hollywood is limited. Hollywood audiences like him because they like kung fu movies. In other words, in Hollywood, Cheng Long will always be just an action actor. Just as Asian audiences are tired of watching martial arts movies, Hollywood audiences will sooner or later lose interest in such movies, a problem that has always been a concern for Cheng Long.

I have to say that the huge commercial success of "A Chinese Ghost Story: A Strange Love" directed by Tsui Hark has injected a boost into the Chinese film market that has been silent for a long time. It has also set a benchmark for other companies, and Heung Kong Film Company has launched its own blockbuster plans before the dawn of the new century. The revival of Hong Kong films seems to have become a unanimous view among everyone. And Cheng Long has just been "gilded" in Hollywood, and he himself is eager to try, wanting to take advantage of this good momentum to show his skills.

In fact, Cheng Long's idea is not bad, he is not young, and it is impossible to let him perform some difficult movements as vigorously as before in the future. As his physical strength declined, he gradually came up with the idea of retreating into the background. In Hollywood, he is just an actor, but in Hong Kong he is a pivotal figure in the film industry, and the connections he has accumulated over the years will help him a lot. He used to have his own film company in Hong Kong, but this time he wanted to do something bigger.

Cheng Long and Yuan Heping go back this time, Xiangjiang movies may become more lively, and after 007, the mainland film market will be further opened up, and after the pattern of cross-strait and three-place cooperative filmmaking is formed, the role of Xiangjiang as a Chinese film center will become more and more prominent. At least in the step of investing in Golden Harvest, Paramount has occupied the first place in development

After bidding farewell to Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, Lin Mu and Lin Zhiling had just walked out of a few parts, and James as Mellon suddenly appeared from the side. "Heart, I can be regarded as finding you, where did you run just now, I have a very important friend who wants to introduce you to you!"

Cameron said with a huff, and only after he finished saying it did he find Lin Zhiling standing beside Lin Mu, "Oh, Lin, you are simply the goddess of tonight, I'm sorry I can't find any suitable words to describe your beauty tonight except for this word." I know he belongs to you, but can you lend him to me for half an hour? ”

"Can I say no?" Although Lin Zhiling said this, she still let go of Lin Mu's right hand very much.

"Thank you very much". James Cameron didn't forget to compliment Lin Zhiling again before leaving: "Lin, you are really beautiful today, I will definitely be the first to invite you to dance when the dance starts."

"Mr. Cameron, I'm afraid you're really going to be disappointed this time, there have been many men like you who have sent me invitations before you, but I'm only going to be Lin Mu's dance partner today!" Lin Zhiling was "very helpless" and shook her head at James Cameron.

"It seems that there are many men tonight who are destined to enter the new reality with regrets!" James Mellon said with regret.

"Cameron, I think I know all the guests here today!" Following James Cameron through the crowd, Lin Mu was very puzzled

"But you didn't invite that person. The truth is that I brought him here on my own initiative, but I promise I'll be very interested in this man! James Cameron said as he walked that he had to greet people who knew him along the way, so he didn't go into details.

"Are you referring to the director or the actor?" Lin Mu felt that among the people Cameron knew, there were only two kinds of people who could interest him.

"No, the guy didn't specialize in film-related work, but the work he did helped a lot in making movies, and I mean the technical kind of help!" James Cameron was afraid of causing misunderstanding again, so he also deliberately emphasized that it was technical help.

"Can you go into more detail?" Lin Mu stopped suddenly, he felt that he should at least know what that person was doing before he met him.

"Well, he's Jericho, the executive chairman of the Canadian company, and the scene where the airliner crashes into the building that we're working on has been very helpful to the company, and I have that crashing scene!" James I. Cameron explained.

"Isn't that a concave visual imaging technique?" First of all, Lin Mu's first thought was the movie. British scientist Sir Charlie Wheatton invented a kind of stereoscopic glasses based on "the imaging of human two eyes is different", so that people's left eye and right eye produce different effects when looking at the same image, which is the principle of 3D glasses in later generations.

In the early days, the film mainly showed three-dimensional effects, and often used guns pointed at the audience and objects thrown at the audience as gimmicks. At that time, the vast majority of the world's mainstream directors looked down on movies, believing that they were just playing magic, not art at all.

James Cameron mentions a film projection system that can project larger and higher resolution than traditional film. The technology was first developed in Canada, and is exclusively owned by Canadian companies, and 007 theaters around the world are provided by the company. Since the birth of this technology. Its development and promotion have been inseparable from large-scale exhibitions, science and technology museums and other public welfare activities and venues. At present, the theaters all over the world can be divided into two categories: science and technology museums, museums, and ordinary theaters for commercial screenings.

Although the image quality is excellent and the time it has been out for a long time, due to the high cost of production and screening, as well as the difficulty of transportation, the playback time of the 007" film is relatively short (generally 120 minutes), so it has not been popularized, and most of them are suitable for science and technology museums, planetariums and other popular science institutions.

But James Cameron was not the first Hollywood director to be interested in this technology, and in the later years, there was a wave of music in Hollywood, and several entertainment films appeared, such as "Tyrannosaurus Rex: Return to the Cretaceous" in the nephew's year, which attracted the attention of many audiences. That same year, Disney produced the current version of Fantasia, the first full-length animation.

"But we can't afford to invest any more!" Lin Mu raised a very realistic problem, unexpected more cost investment, although James Cameron overdrafted the cost of filming is no longer one or two times, but this time it is true that the investment in the film has reached the bottom limit that the producer can afford, and it is impossible to make additional investment.

"I didn't need a new investment, and the company developed a new reproduction technology that could convert traditional films into formats, albeit for technical reasons. The length of the film that passed through the old processing could not exceed 2 hours at most, but this technology will eventually make a breakthrough. And as an attempt. The company is willing to help me complete the conversion of the video format at a very low price.

"Believe me, the future will be an era of 3D cinema, and I don't even have any doubt that in the next decade, 3D cinema will gradually end up outside traditional cinemas." In the memories of Lin Mu's previous life, James Cameron disappeared for a full decade after "Titanic". After that, he swept the world with his expensive 3D movie "Avatar", and it turned out that this guy had already developed a strong interest in movies at this time.

"Since you don't need any additional investment from the producer, what about that Mr. Jericho you said wants to meet me? After understanding what happened, Lin Mu had new questions.

"The company is so enthusiastic about helping me, in fact, it wants to cooperate with you through me. Take advantage of Paramount's dominance in Hollywood movies and promote 3D movies to the world! ”
