Rebirth: Starting from selling water to become the world’s richest man

: Li Shanshan will star in a big-budget movie?

“Mr. Li, you are so humble. I have admired you for a long time.”

Cameron sighed with emotion. The Li Shanshan in front of him was too young.

He can become the richest man in the world at such a young age. There has never been such a person since ancient times.

Especially Li Shanshan’s undefeated reputation in the investment field, which made Cameron admire him.

“Haha, I told you two to stop being polite to each other.”

At this time, Spielberg, as the intermediary, said with a smile: “Mr. Li, I brought my friend here because I want to cooperate with you.” ”

Oh? I would like to hear it. Details.”

Li Shanshan smiled, with a hint of speculation in his mind.

At this time, Cameron came to him to cooperate, probably for the legendary “Avatar”.

You must know that this movie cost 500 million US dollars that year, setting a “money burning” record for world movies.

With such a huge capital investment, even with Cameron’s signature, he encountered difficulties in raising money.

Many people persuaded him to change his mind and cut costs.

But Cameron always insisted on his own opinion and adopted the most cutting-edge equipment and technology in the film industry, allowing movie fans around the world to enjoy a science fiction feast.

“Mr. Li, I have an unkind invitation this time.”

Cameron was also a little entangled in his heart. Originally, he should not have solicited investment for the first time when they met.

But when he saw Li Shanshan attending the film festival and investing in two film and television series, he finally couldn’t sit still.

So he found his old friend and asked Spielberg to act as an intermediary.

“Mr. Cameron, how can I help?”

Li Shanshan took a sip of the red wine in the glass and directly brought the conversation to the main topic.

“It’s like this. I have a script that I have been planning for several years, but making it into a movie requires extremely huge funds…” Cameron said with great sincerity: “Please believe that I am

willing to sign it.” With the betting agreement, this movie will definitely be a hit at the box office.”

Once it comes to movies, Cameron seems to be a different person.

His devotion and enthusiasm for movies are very infectious to those around him.

At this time, Li Shanshan was already sure that the movie the other party was talking about was “Avatar”.

This 3D blockbuster, which took four years to produce, lived up to expectations and earned a box office of US$2.8 billion.

The majestic scenes and frequent climaxes in the play bring a brand-new and unprecedented experience to the audience.

“Mr. Cameron, I don’t know about the movie script you’re talking about. Can I have a look?”

Li Xianshan pretended not to know and asked pretending to be very curious.

“Of course, I asked my assistant to bring the script.”

Cameron smiled slightly and handed over the script that he had already prepared.

After Li Shanshan took it over, it turned out to be the script for “Avatar”.

He simply flipped through it, and the wonderful world inside suddenly appeared.

Although Li Shanshan had watched this science fiction movie in his previous life, this was his first time reading the script.

I have to say that the content in the script is on a larger scale, and Li Shanshan really admires Cameron’s imagination.

Especially the love story on an alien planet is so exciting…

On the other hand, Spielberg is also very curious about the script.

However, as a fellow director, even if he is good friends with Cameron, he must not watch it to avoid suspicion.

“Mr. Li, I wonder how you feel?”

Cameron was very confident in his script, but he was still a little nervous at the moment.

After all, Li Xianxian is his sponsor. If he can’t get his approval, it will be useless no matter how good he feels.

“I think it’s very good. It’s an interesting story, and it’s very thought-provoking.”

Li Shanshan thought for a while and continued to add: “As the script says, war will only destroy everything. The world needs peace, but also cherish it. Peace.”

After hearing these words, Cameron’s eyes lit up.

It only took Li Shanshan a few minutes to understand the essence of the entire movie.

This made Cameron very happy, and his evaluation of Li Xianshan was even higher.

“Mr. Li, you understood the essence of this drama right away. It’s really amazing.”

Cameron was ready to strike while the iron was hot, so he asked with great anticipation: “I wonder if you are willing to invest in this movie?” ?”

“Mr. Cameron, I wonder how much capital you need?”

Li Shanshan nodded. Since the other party has found him, he will definitely invest.

Besides, this movie was so popular back then, no matter how much investment you make, it will pay off.

“Thank you, Mr. Li. We need about 500 million U.S. dollars in funding.”

Cameron said hesitantly: “Because this is my first attempt at 3D production, the production cost is indeed higher.”

“Hiss…”

next to Spielberg couldn’t help but take a breath.

The cost is too scary!

I have made so many movies, but never one with a budget of US$500 million.

Even Cameron himself only spent $250 million on “Titanic”.

This time it is equivalent to doubling the amount, and the funding is really outrageous.

Spielberg couldn’t help but raise his head and look in Li Xianshan’s direction.

He was afraid that the other party would think that he and Cameron were in a group and would join forces to defraud him of his money.

However, Li Shanshan didn’t say much.

He knew that this movie did “burn money”, and if it weren’t for this reason, Cameron wouldn’t be able to come to him in the first place.

“It’s not a big problem, I can vote.”

Li Shanshan nodded without any hesitation.

After hearing this sentence, both Spielberg and Cameron were very surprised.

This is so refreshing!

You must know that generally speaking, even if the super rich have money, most of their funds are stocks and funds.

If you want them to invest in a 500 million project, they must first sell their stocks.

But Li Shanshan is different. His wealth has already surpassed that of the country.

Let alone a 500 million project, even if it is several times more, there is no need to prepare in advance, it is just a matter of his words.

Of course, what shocked the two of them the most was Li Shanshan’s decisiveness.

You must know that Cameron has been looking for some investors before.

But when they heard that the film would require an investment of US$500 million, everyone backed down.

Although Cameron’s “Titanic” invested US$250 million and earned US$1.8 billion.

But no one can guarantee that his movie will make money.

After all, no matter how famous a director is, there will be times when the box office is not good.

If this movie with an investment of 500 million fails, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the investors.

“Mr. Li, thank you for your trust!”

Cameron was very excited at this time.

In all his years as a director, this is the first time he has encountered such a generous sponsor.

In such a short period of time, Li Shanshan decided to invest in him.

Cameron secretly determined that he must get the box office in return!

When the time comes, he believes that this investment experience will become a good story and become a classic like his own movie.

“Mr. Cameron, don’t worry about the funds. I don’t have any problems.”

Li Shanshan smiled slightly and suddenly said: “However, I have a small request.”

“Oh? Please tell me.”

Cameron suddenly said I became nervous again.

It was hard to get investment, but if something happened again, he would be in tears.

At the same time, he was also a little worried. If the other party wanted to interfere with the filming, it would be difficult for him.

“Don’t worry, I won’t interfere with your shooting.”

Li Shanshan explained: “Professional matters should be left to professionals. Since you are the director, naturally you have the final say.”

After hearing this, Ka Mellon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mr. Li, what is your request…”

“My request is very simple. Help arrange a small role for her and me.”

Li Shanshan pointed at herself and then at Tang Zexue beside her. .

Then he said with a smile: “Just a small supporting role will be enough. I just want to experience the feeling of making a movie.”

After hearing this, Tang Zexue beside him was slightly stunned.

She didn’t expect that Li Shanshan wanted to make a movie, and even wanted to bring herself with him.

You must know that this is a Hollywood blockbuster produced with huge sums of money and will be released all over the world in the future.

Although she is not the protagonist and only plays a small role, she is still very excited.

On the other side, Cameron let out a sigh of relief.

This request is not excessive at all. After all, Li Shanshan has spent so much money. What if he shows his face in the movie?

What’s more, with the participation of the world’s richest man, the appeal of this movie is even stronger.

To be honest, he himself was looking forward to it!
