Chapter 33 Meeting

James Cameron was confused and drove his assistant to Michael Clayton's address. He really didn't understand why Michael Clayton politely declined his visit two days ago.

, why he took the initiative to invite himself there today. In fact, he also knew that because of his violent temper, many people were unwilling to associate with him, but he just couldn't control his temper. Although many people admired his talent

Fascinated by him. Some actors and actresses have followed Cameron for many years and become his regular partners. There are also women who are deeply in love with Cameron. However, their marriages with Cameron are not long-lasting. They are obsessed with him.

His talent, but unable to get along with him...

The most unforgettable one among them was the producer Goyle Anne Hurt. Back then, James Cameron was tortured by disease, hunger and poverty. This painful experience made him think every night.

I was plagued by nightmares, and I always woke up covered in cold sweat.

Once he had a very clear nightmare: being chased by a machine killer from the future. After waking up, based on the content of the nightmare, James Cameron wrote a movie script that completely changed his destiny - "

"Terminator". Later, he sold the script to producer Gore Ani Hurt for one dollar, on the condition that he would direct the film himself. Gower readily agreed to his request.

In 1984, James Cameron released his first self-written and directed film "The Terminator". The film only cost US$6.5 million to shoot, but earned US$36 million in domestic box office. Since then

, he rose through the ranks and became a rising star in the American directing world, and Gore Anne Hurt also fell into his arms and became his second wife. However, the marriage between the two did not last long, and only

Four years later, he broke up with Gower and married his current wife, Katherine Bigelow. However, after less than a year of marriage, there seemed to be subtle cracks in the relationship between the two.

Among them, his violent temper undoubtedly played a factor that cannot be ignored.

James Cameron sighed softly and pulled his thoughts back from the past. Why Michael Clayton suddenly invited him to his home puzzled him, but he vaguely felt that

, it seems that something is about to happen. James Cameron is secretly praying, hoping that this well-known American best-selling author will have a new work come out, and he is willing to buy the film adaptation rights. That will undoubtedly be the most wonderful result.

. But he felt that this must be a luxury hope - Michael Crichton's works have never been worried about selling, and he could have chosen those great directors who had already become famous. He is now considered a figure among directors in Hollywood, but

In the eyes of many people, it is not top-notch.

James Cameron walked all the way in random thoughts. When his car arrived in front of Michael Clayton's villa, it was already dark.

Michael Clayton warmly received his arrival, but what surprised him was that there were two Orientals in the room, one was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other was a girl in her early twenties. Although

He said that the beauty of the girl made him, a director who has seen many beauties, a little stunned for a moment, but James Cameron still felt that something was not right.

"James, you haven't eaten yet. I've prepared dinner here. We can talk while eating." Michael Clayton led him to the dining table. "This is Fang from Eastern China. This is

A beautiful lady is his assistant, Fang, and this person is James Cameron, the director of "Terminator"."

James Cameron was even more confused. When Michael Clayton met with him, what was the point of leaving two Orientals? And according to what he meant, among the two people, this young man was obviously in a dominant position. Damn it.

When will that country have an entrepreneur at such a young age? Or is this a legendary princeling? James Cameron has nothing to do with those who get rich purely by relying on their family background and the care of their elders.

People are naturally disgusted!

But he still greeted Fang Mingyuan and Fang Mingyuan politely - not looking at the monk's face but at the Buddha's face. He was not so arrogant that he forgot that he was just Michael Clayton's guest.

Fang Mingyuan carefully looked at this well-known director who could only look up to his light in his previous life. Born in Canada in 1954, he was still in the prime of life. His short hair and sharp eyes made people look at him at first glance.

If you meet him, you will be deeply impressed. He took the initiative to step forward, stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Cameron, it is an honor to meet you. Your movie "Terminator" left a deep impression on me.

.”

"Have you also seen "Terminator"?" James Cameron said with some surprise. He also yearned for that ancient oriental country - five thousand years of civilization, thinking about it makes people feel heavy.

Somewhat out of breath.

"Video, it's a pity that I can't go to the cinema to watch Mr.'s masterpiece. I'm really looking forward to Mr. Cameron's "Terminator 2"." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

Everyone sat down at the dining table, and Michael Crichton said to James Cameron: "Don't underestimate him because of his age. Although he is not a film director, he is also a writer. Three scripts have been made into movies.

, and achieved considerable box office results in Hong Kong. Fang, since you are so looking forward to his new work, do you have some unique ideas? Let’s talk about it.”

James Cameron couldn't help but be surprised. This boy was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he had already made three movies into movies? This is unbelievable! But he also understood that Michael Clayton was impossible.

Lying to yourself about this kind of thing, this kind of lie that can be exposed as long as you check it carefully, is fine by ordinary people, but by people in the industry, it will only bring humiliation to yourself!

Fang Mingyuan smiled faintly and said: "You are looking up to me too much. They are just small-budget movies, and their box office results cannot be compared with Mr. Cameron's."

Michael Clayton shook his head slightly and said: "Fang, Easterners like to be humble, but we Westerners prefer to be flamboyant. We have to talk about our achievements with pride. Maybe it is as you said, you

The box office performance of his works cannot be compared with his works, but I personally think that the quality of a work cannot just be judged by the size of the benefits it generates, but by its influence. The size of your work

Shooting Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries is just because of the exchange rate issues between the currencies of these countries and the U.S. dollar that they appear inferior to Cameron's works. If you judge your works from this point,

It's not a good work, that's unfair." While waiting for Cameron to arrive in the afternoon, Michael Clayton took the time to investigate the status of Fang Mingyuan's three works that had been released in Hong Kong and gave his feedback.

The news that came was really a surprise to him.

Of course, Michael Clayton hopes that his new work will have satisfactory results in the film field. Judging from the news obtained from Hong Kong, although Fang Mingyuan is not a director, there is no doubt about his script quality.

, and his courage to choose James Cameron to be the director of "Jurassic Park" proves his vision. Although Michael Crichton can be said to be respectful of James Cameron's temper, but

This does not allow him to deny one thing, which is James Cameron's genius in film stunts. A work made in 1984 can achieve such brilliant results. After six years, I believe Cameron

The level will only get higher.

Michael Clayton turned to James Cameron and said: "Fang has a common problem among Easterners... Well, it may not be appropriate to say it is a common problem, but it would be too modest. Hong Kong, the pearl of the East, I believe you

You don’t know anything about it. The movies there are also quite developed, and Fang wrote three works last year, and all three of them entered the top ten at the box office in Hong Kong that year! So, don’t worry about watching him

He was young and committed the same mistakes as when I first met him. Listening to his opinion, I think it is definitely beneficial and harmless to you."

James Cameron felt that his head was going to explode. No matter how ignorant he was about Hong Kong movies, he could not know everything about them. Although it was only a small place, it was the base of Oriental movies, and more movies were produced every year.

Hundreds. And this company only produced three movies, all of which were ranked in the top ten at the box office. This result is too scary!

James Cameron calmed down. At this time, he looked at Fang Mingyuan with a bit more respect. "I am really surprised. I didn't expect that Mr. Fang has achieved such amazing results at such a young age. To be honest with you,

He said, I am currently writing the script for "Terminator 2", but I have encountered some difficulties. If Mr. Fang has any ideas, I am willing to listen carefully."

Michael Clayton winked mischievously at Fang Mingyuan, and Fan Mingyuan's heart was filled with gratitude. From the moment James Cameron entered the door, this old man had spared no effort to help him. It was precisely because of his introduction that this man

A tyrant who would later be known to filmmakers all over the world said what he had just said in an equal tone in front of him.

"Mr. Cameron, first of all, I have to admit that I like your "Terminator" very much. I have watched it many times. I think the theme of this movie is not pursuit and escape, but the theme of "Terminator".

Discuss the relationship between man and technology. Since mankind invented the steam engine, science and technology have entered a period of rapid development. Technology has brought progress to mankind, but technology has also brought disasters to mankind, such as nuclear technology, such as

Let’s talk about cloning technology, and for another example, chemical raw materials that produce serious pollution. And this work of yours shows the audience the serious consequences that the development of technology may have.”

James Cameron, who was playing with the table knife subconsciously in his hand, nodded slightly, but Michael Clayton showed a knowing smile.

"In the first work, I believe everyone has already developed a sense of fear about the emergence of robots. But I personally think that this is definitely not Mr. Cameron's complete idea. Technology is just a tool, and the consequences of the tool are...

It depends on who is in the hands of this tool. Nuclear technology can produce atomic weapons that destroy everything, and it can also produce nuclear power plant technology that solves the power problem of mankind in the future. And I personally think that in the future, on mankind’s ship to the universe, I am afraid that

Nuclear power is the most realistic option. So in the second episode, I think Mr. Cameron will express the theme that robots can also save mankind."

"Clang!" The table knife in James Cameron's hand fell to the plate, making a crisp sound. At this time, James Cameron no longer had the calmness he had just before, but his eyes widened.

Fang Mingyuan ignored James Cameron's surprise, but continued: "Since this is the second episode, I think there will be new characters, both positive and negative. In the previous episode, the heroine was pregnant, so

In this episode, this child should already have a certain ability to judge, at least he should be a middle school student. On the other hand, there should be a new type of robot, so as to avoid the audience's aesthetic fatigue. But I personally think that the first

It would be a pity if the protagonist of one episode, Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger, was abandoned just like this. So in order to express the theme that robots can also save mankind, we might as well let him play the role of the poor couple this time.

Mother and son’s nanny!”

James Cameron was dumbfounded at this time, pointing at Fang Mingyuan but unable to say a word. He never expected that Fang Mingyuan would explain the prototype of the script in his mind so thoroughly!

"With his help, this poor mother and son once again escaped the enemy's pursuit. But I think out of balance with the final result of the film, and also for the possible third episode, their final result should be

All of them were destroyed. But we want the audience to feel relieved at the destruction of the new robots on the one hand, and to feel sincerely at the destruction of the robot played by Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger on the other hand.

What a pity, then this movie could be called perfect!”

James Cameron suddenly stood up. Because he stood up so violently, the chair behind him turned upside down with a clang. But James Cameron seemed not to hear it at all and put his hands on the dining table.

He leaned over, looked directly into Fang Mingyuan's eyes, and said solemnly: "Then can you help me imagine what this new type of robot looks like?"
