Chapter 422: Planning to Shoot Resident Evil

"Yes! I'll contact you then! ”

Although the next project is still in fantasy, being able to pull in an investor in advance makes Cameron feel quite comfortable.

In fact, Cameron himself has always claimed that "Titanic" will be a very successful movie.

But before the movie was released, in fact, he didn't have the bottom himself.

No one can guarantee that their film will be successful, and James Cameron is no exception.

Cameron also often thinks about what will happen to him if this "Titanic" fails?

There is no doubt that even James Cameron is currently one of Hollywood's biggest directors.

But as long as his project loses too much, his next project will also suffer.

At the very least, the investment in the next project will be greatly affected.

Even, maybe his own leadership in the crew will be affected.

Hollywood is so realistic, success is often in a split second, but so is failure.

If he is not careful, even he will fall into the abyss.

Therefore, in the face of Chen Qiming's commitment, Cameron was not only excited, but also a little moved.

Chen Qiming is really capable of handling it.

When everyone was not optimistic about "Titanic", he invested in this film without hesitation, thinking that this film could be successful.

Moreover, Chen Qiming is much more sincere than other film and television companies.

Cameron, who is accustomed to ups and downs in Hollywood, was very moved by Chen Qiming's belief that his films would make money.

On the first day of Chen Qiming's arrival in "Titanic", he did not immediately put into filming, but walked around and visited the crew.

It wasn't until the next day that he filmed his own scene under Cameron's arrangement.

Chen Qiming doesn't have many scenes.

He plays the role of one of the six Chinese on the ship, and the prototype is Fang Rongshan.

Speaking of this role, Chen Qiming was once hostile to the Titanic project when he checked the relevant information of this character prototype.

Because, according to the information he checked, there were a total of eight Chinese on the Titanic at that time.

These eight people were all shipwrights on the ship at that time, and they lived in the lowest third-class cabins.

After the Titanic hit the iceberg, no one cared about the "inferior people" in their eyes, that is, the Chinese workers in the third-class cabin.

When many people were rescued one after another, these 8 people were finally released from the gate, and they wanted to follow everyone to board the lifeboat, but they didn't expect to be refused.

At that time, it was a very urgent moment of life and death, and there was no time to theorize, so the eight people could only find a way to escape.

Four of them saw a broken boat that could not be used at all, but this was already their only way to survive, and they could only pin their hopes on this broken boat.

Another man survived by holding on to a piece of driftwood on the surface of the sea, while the remaining one was lucky enough to be rescued by a returning search and rescue boat.

In this accident, 6 of the 8 Chinese compatriots survived, while the remaining 2 were not so lucky and finally disappeared into the rough sea.

Originally, the two people who disappeared should have been rescued.

What's even more hateful is that the rescued people not only did not receive the treatment of survivors, but also suffered endless insults afterwards.

Western media overwhelmingly reported: British gentlemen are still leaving the opportunity to live to women and children, but the Chinese are crowded on lifeboats and refuse to go, so that many women and children miss the opportunity to be rescued.

As the incident unfolded, these eight Chinese compatriots were slandered as "stowaways", and for a while, the Western invective was overwhelming.

What's more important is that at that time, Western countries were seriously anti-Chinese, and even if they could speak out, I am afraid that they would be accused of "quibbling".

This slander was not allowed until more details were revealed.

Because Chen Qiming is a popular superstar, he makes a cameo appearance in the role of Fang Rongshan.

Therefore, Cameron paid enough attention to Chen Qiming.

I used a little more ink in the portrayal of this character.

After the character boarded the lifeboat, the part of the rescue along with the lifeboat was also filmed.

There are about four minutes of drama in total.

Although it was only a four-minute scene, it took most of the day to shoot.

No way, first, Cameron is very strict with the role.

The second is that this part of the scene is filmed on a lifeboat, not only in the studio, but also on location.

For this reason, Chen Qiming and others also made a special trip to the nearby sea area for filming.

"Chen, your acting skills are very good, I will definitely find you as the starring actor next time!"

There are not many scenes, and it is naturally impossible for Chen Qiming to stay here all the time after filming.

The day after filming his own scene, Chen Qiming submitted his farewell to the crew.

Although it was only filmed for one day, Cameron admired Chen Qiming's acting skills.

said that if there is an opportunity, he will create a script specifically for Chen Qiming.

"Good! Then I'll wait, I'm also very much looking forward to starring in Mr. Cameron's movie! ”

After chatting with Cameron, Leonardo and Kate, Chen Qiming hugged them goodbye.

Kate was the last one Chen Qiming would hug.

"Chen, remember to call me!"

While hugging, Kate whispered in Chen Qiming's ear.

As soon as her words fell, Chen Qiming felt that Kate had stuffed something in his pocket.

Nodding quietly, Chen Qiming waved goodbye and got into a special car to the airport.

In the car, Chen Qiming felt some pockets and found a note from inside.

"Kate gave it to you?"

Chen Qiming did not shy away from Li Xiaowen.

She also saw the note, and after glancing at it, she asked curiously.

"Her phone number!" Chen Qiming nodded and put the note back in his pocket.

"It's good to be a big star, there are big beauties everywhere you go!"

Li Xiaowen couldn't help but joke, "It's a pity Leonardo, it seems that his affection has been in vain, and Kate doesn't seem to be interested in him at all!" ”

After a pause, she continued: "However, Leonardo is really handsome!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help but nod.

Not to mention, Leonardo at this time is indeed very handsome.

He is still a little fresh meat, and he attracts the attention of women very much.

It's no wonder that after the success of the movie "Titanic", he was able to squeeze into the top in one fell swoop.

……

The plane landed in Los Angeles.

After landing in Los Angeles, Chen Qiming went straight to the hotel where the crew of "Lone Agent" was located.

The distributor of the drama "Lone Agent" is still Warner Pictures and Television.

In recent days, this drama has been promoted on TV and print media, and it has a good popularity.

However, considering that Andy Lau, the star of this film, is Asian, and not an Asian like Chen Qiming, who is popular in Europe and the United States.

So the scale of the promotion of this film is not too large.

Warner still has doubts about Andy Lau's ability.

And this film is wholly owned by Chen Qiming's Qiming Film and Television, and for the box office of the movie, Chen Qiming had to help promote it on the platform.

But like the adventurer in Hong Kong, Chan doesn't need to help with the promotion for a long time.

All he had to do was show up at the premiere the day after tomorrow and then help call for a wave on his own album promo.

Then, what the final result of this film will be, it will be up to fate.

……

"Who did you and Warner invite?"

In the hot spring, Chen Qiming and Andy Lau were alone, enjoying the warm water.

Andy Lau made a report call to his wife and began to ask about the guest lineup of "Lone Agent".

"I'm just letting Lincoln Park and Eminem come over.

As for Warners, you don't expect them to invite a big lineup. ”

The project "Lone Agent" is not high in Warner's rating, just a C-rated project.

A C-level, expecting them to invest large resources, that is obviously impossible.

"I always thought it was a highly valued project!"

Andy Lau looked helpless.

It's his first time in Hollywood, and he doesn't know much about the size of the project.

Blockbusters are also defined according to Hong Kong standards.

"Lone Agent" has invested a total of tens of millions of dollars, which is an out-and-out blockbuster in Hong Kong.

"It's just an investment of tens of millions, and in Hollywood, this kind of project is not hundreds but dozens a year.

Being able to get the C grade is already a good relationship between me and Warner.

But don't be discouraged, a small investment can pay off big.

I watched this film, the quality is good, and the chances of success are very high! ”

Chen Qiming smiled and comforted.

"I don't care, if I can't succeed, it's a big deal to go back to Hong Kong!"

Andy Lau pretended not to care.

He himself attaches great importance to this "Lone Agent".

Succeeded, he broke into Hollywood, and his salary was calculated in US dollars.

failed, so I could only go back and continue to make Hong Kong films.

"It's going to work!"

Chen Qiming smiled, closed his eyes and enjoyed the massage.

……

Los Angeles, December 6.

The premiere of "Lone Agent" was officially held here.

"Rice grains, long time no see!"

"Chen!"

Since "The Disaster of the Python", Mi Li has ushered in a small explosion in her career, and in the past two years last year, she has starred in several movies.

Among them, there is also a box office of more than $50 million.

also because she began to focus on her career, Chen Qiming had less and less contact with her.

This time, if Warner hadn't invited her to attend the premiere of "Lone Agent", the two might not have had a chance to meet.

"Don't you have any new projects lately? Is there a role that suits me? ”

The two of them asked as they walked inside, and asked as they went.

"Sorry! There shouldn't be a project for you at the moment! ”

Chen Qiming responded lightly.

Actually, there were.

Last year, Chen Qiming contacted the Resident Evil game company when he was in Japan and won the film and television adaptation rights of Resident Evil for $2 million.

The original plan was to let Mi Li play the leading role.

But after no contact for a long time, Chen Qiming gave up his original plan.

It just so happens that Charlize is very well-behaved and loyal to Chen Qiming.

So Chen Qiming planned to hand over the heroine of this project to Charlize.

For Chen Qiming's answer, Mi Li was not angry, and the two chatted like old friends.

A few minutes later, Mi Li left Chen Qiming's position.

"It's blind that you introduced so many resources to her!"

Li Xiaowen came to Chen Qiming's side, looked at the rice grains in the distance, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"It's just a deal!"

Chen Qiming smiled, not minding at all.

Mi Li's behavior today is not at all the same as before.

Two years ago, she was called a submissive in front of Chen Qiming.

Now it's different, because I have climbed another backer, and I talk and act like a different person.

In this regard, Chen Qiming was not angry at all.

From the beginning to the end, he knew that the relationship with Mi Li was a transaction.

The transaction was completed, and the relationship between the two parties came to an end.

At the same time, the other party will naturally not continue to hold him.

Chen Qiming doesn't think that he is the protagonist, everyone loves him, and the flowers bloom.

"I'll go out to pick up someone, you ask Mike to take Brother Hua to meet someone!"

picked up the mobile phone and glanced at it, Chen Qiming explained, and then walked quickly to the entrance of the theater.

As soon as Chen Qiming arrived at the door, the person he wanted to pick up arrived.

It was none other than Charlize.

Chen Qiming has decided to support her, so she was also invited for today's premiere.

"Chen!"

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Chen Qiming, Charlize looked very excited and trotted over.

"It's a beautiful day!"

Chen Qiming glanced at her outfit and couldn't help but show a touch of amazement.

Charlize today is not wearing a gown, but a white suit.

But it was this white suit worn on her body, which made her reveal a heroic spirit all over her body, which was very attractive.

"Originally, I was hesitant to let you star in my new project, but now, I think you must be the right fit!"

The heroine of Resident Evil, Ann Lise, has a lot of action scenes.

Chen Qiming originally thought that Charlize might not be able to control this role.

Looking at her outfit now, he immediately determined that Charlize was definitely the most suitable person for this role except for rice grains.

"Really?"

Hearing Chen Qiming's words, Charlize immediately realized that his opportunity had come.

She couldn't help but get into Chen Qiming, and wanted to give him a hot kiss on the spot, until Chen Qiming stopped it, and she didn't realize that this was the movie premiere scene.

"There will be a lot of action scenes in the new project, and the filming will probably take place around March next year, so you will need to come with me to Hong Kong for action training.

You should be able to do it! ”

"Of course, I can do it!"

In terms of action dramas, Hong Kong is definitely No. 1.

So, it was definitely the best choice to send Charlize to Hong Kong for training.

"Chen, you are so good to me, I will definitely repay you!"

Although I don't know what role Chen Qiming asked her to play.

But since it is necessary to train, there must be a lot of scenes.

For Charlize, who has been lingering in the crew for many years to play small supporting roles, this is definitely a very good opportunity.

At this moment, she even wanted to cry a little.

"If you want to repay me, don't wait too long, you can do it tonight!"

Chen Qiming raised his eyebrows.

"I'm going to make you linger!"

Hearing Chen Qiming's words, Charlize couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice.

"Alright, let's go in first! I'll introduce you to a few people!

That way, even if I don't come to Hollywood, you can talk to them directly.

I believe that for my sake, they will give you a good chance! ”

With that, Chen Qiming took Charlize to the theater.
