Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 34 The coming of an era

This problem has troubled James Cameron for many days. He has imagined many kinds of performance for this newly emerged robot, but he has never been able to make a bright and impressive impression.

.

"The liquid robot, made of special memory alloy, can change its shape at will and has a very strong disguise ability. He doesn't even have to appear naked in a bar to rob clothes like poor Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

All he needs to do is transform himself. His limbs can deform and transform into weapons such as knives, swords, daggers, and silver needles. He kills people like a machete chopping vegetables. His ruthlessness will be the best expression of his temperament!" Fang Mingyuan!

Without hesitation, he said, "For example, if I were that robot, I would change into the appearance of Mr. Cameron and stand in front of you. When you are shocked, I would reach out my hand and put a little stick between your eyebrows.

A sharp bloody stab penetrated the back of your head."

Fang Mingyuan's vivid voice described a terrifying scene to the people present. James Cameron even subconsciously turned his head, as if to avoid the non-existent silver thorn.

After a long while, James Cameron slowly sat down, but he forgot that the chair under his butt had overturned to the ground. Naturally, his butt was sitting empty, and he fell down and pulled the chair.

He moved the dishes on the dining table and hit him all over.

Michael Clayton stood up in surprise, and while he and James Cameron's assistant helped him up, he was thinking in his heart. Obviously Fang Mingyuan had spoken to James Cameron's mind, otherwise

, how could he lose his composure like this? This young man's talent is simply amazing.

"Cameron, please take off these clothes and let the servants wash them for you." James Cameron's body was already covered in oil stains, with a piece of butter and half a piece of steak stained on it, and he looked very embarrassed.

Fortunately, all the food landed on his clothes. If it had landed on his face and hair, it would probably be more than just changing clothes.

After a while, James Cameron changed into Michael Clayton's suit and sat down at the table again, but the suit didn't seem to fit that well. But James Cameron couldn't care less. At this time,

He has completely believed Michael Clayton's introduction to Fang Mingyuan. These concise sentences just now can be said to have clearly explained the overall direction of "Terminator 2" in his mind.

And it also helped him solve the problem of opposing the big boss. When he was changing clothes just now, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Fang Mingyuan's proposal was so brilliant. A liquid robot, a robot that can change its appearance, a robot that can change the whole body

The robot that changes weapons is so cool!

Americans, since the days of cowboys, have never been able to resist the adjective cool!

"No, no, no, Cameron, I know you must still have a lot to say to our children, but now we have to talk about another serious matter. You can talk about those things with Fang alone later."

Michael Crichton quickly stopped James Cameron who wanted to discuss the plot further. Once this kind of thing was brought up, it would be no problem to talk about it all day long, but he had other things to do.

"Ah?" James Cameron looked at him in surprise. He thought Michael Clayton came to him just to introduce Fang Mingyuan to him.

Michael Clayton put the knife and fork in his hand on the table, held his chin with both hands, looked directly at James Cameron and said: "I came to you today because I want to tell you that my new work will definitely come out this year.

."

James Cameron's heart immediately beat like a stimulant, making him feel out of breath. Could it be said that today is his lucky day? Not only did he solve the problem in the script,

Regarding the setting of the villain, we can also get the film adaptation rights for Michael Crichton's new work? That is simply wonderful.

"Well, that's not accurate." Michael Crichton shook his head, which made James Cameron's heart immediately rise again. "To be precise, the new work that Fang and I jointly completed will be released this year.

.The party that owns the film adaptation rights of the work hopes that you can direct this film adaptation, so I invited you here. Okay, that's all I have to say, the rest is a problem between the two of you."

James Cameron felt that the psychological impact he received today was far greater than any other day in his life. Thirty or forty years later, he still clearly remembered everything that happened on this day. And it was exactly

From that day on, he stepped onto the pinnacle of commercial films step by step.

"I hope that through a movie, I can announce the coming of an era to filmmakers all over the world - as long as you can imagine it, movie stunts can be performed!" Fang Mingyuan stood up and extended his hand to James Cameron.

.Although he is already a leader among his peers, in front of James Cameron, he is still an out-and-out child. But at this moment, James Cameron feels that

He is so tall and unrealistic.

"Okay, ok, let me wake up, wake up!" James Cameron jumped up and rushed out of the restaurant. Within a minute, he rushed back to the dining table with his head covered with water.

"I have confirmed that I am not dreaming." James Cameron quickly held Fang Mingyuan's hand that did not retract due to shock, and explained to the stunned people. Everyone couldn't help but laugh in unison.

"Okay, okay, now Cameron you are sure that this is not an illusion. I have finished my meal. I haven't finished today's work yet, so I won't disturb you. Let's talk in detail. Fang, you have booked a hotel.

Have you? If you say no, I will be happy to let you leave two rooms in my villa." Michael Clayton stood up. What Fang Mingyuan said today, he must immediately write down and organize it into words.

.

"Mr. Michael Clayton, thank you so much!" James Cameron bowed to him and thanked him from the bottom of his heart. Today's invitation is really timely for James Cameron today.

.

"Oh, Cameron, what you should be more grateful to is Fang. It was his persistence that made me make such a decision." Michael Clayton shrugged and said, "He is the one who has the rights to adapt the film!

"To be honest, he doesn't like James Cameron, and he doesn't want to take away his beauty. Fang Mingyuan insisted that all the royalties should go to him, so naturally he wanted to reciprocate.

"Mr. Michael Clayton, thank you!" Fang Mingyuan also thanked sincerely.

Michael Clayton left the restaurant, leaving only Fang Mingyuan, James Cameron and their assistants in the hall.

James Cameron wiped the water stains running down his temples with his hand, looked at Fang Mingyuan and said: "Mr. Fang, first of all, I want to thank you for your choice of me. Although I don't know yet, you and Michael.

What exactly is Mr. Clayton's co-authored work? But I think that even if Mr. Michael Clayton casually writes a historical biography, someone will be eager to buy it home. To be lucky enough to direct his work, I think all Hollywood

A temptation that no director can refuse. Secondly, Mr. Fang helped me solve a big problem that has troubled me for a long time in the script of "Terminator 2". I am deeply grateful. But I want to know, what does Mr. Fang want from me?"

James Cameron did not believe that Fang Mingyuan would help him like this for free. Since he had given him such a big benefit, he must hope to get something in return.

Fang Mingyuan laughed. This famous tyrant in the American director world is really straightforward. "Mr. Cameron, judging from your actions just now, am I right about most of the scripts of your "Terminator 2"?"

plot?"

James Cameron nodded without hesitation. He made it too obvious just now, and it is meaningless to hide it now.

"Mr. Cameron, I remember that the budget of your first "Terminator" was only more than 6.5 million yuan. How much is the budget of this second "Terminator"? You must know that although the special effects attract the audience's attention,

, but if you want to achieve a perfect level, the cost is also huge." Fang Mingyuan couldn't remember the name of the film company that owned the copyright of "Terminator", but he remembered that it was not a big company, and due to financial problems in the future

, had to sell the rights to "Terminator".

James Cameron hesitated for a moment and said: "My estimated cost is within 60 million US dollars." He felt really uneasy, knowing that the final box office of the previous "Terminator" was only over 36 million US dollars.

Yuan.

Fang Mingyuan secretly laughed in his heart. He knew that this tyrant was the most famous spender in Hollywood, and he also remembered that "Terminator 2" should be the first movie in the history of the world to be shot with a cost of over 100 million yuan.

How can 60 million be enough for him to spend?

"Then my first request is that I help Mr. Cameron solve the script problem. If the budget of the movie exceeds 60 million US dollars when it is actually shot, then I will invest the excess part and distribute the profits in the future.

Distribute according to the investment ratio." Although "Terminator 2" is the first movie in the history of the world with a cost of 100 million yuan, its box office revenue exceeded 500 million yuan. Such an opportunity to make money and fame is in front of you.

If you don't hold it smoothly in front of you, you will simply be sorry for this opportunity to be reborn.

James Cameron certainly understands his habit of striving for excellence in filming, and he has no idea whether the budget of 60 million US dollars can meet his expenses. But no matter how high it is, the film company may not agree to start filming. Fang Mingyuan is willing to invest.

The extra part is naturally great. "Fang, I would like to ask, is there an upper limit on your investment?"

"The maximum is 60 million U.S. dollars, which should be enough for your expenses, right?" Fang Mingyuan said with a half-smile, "But the official remittance of this money must be after October this year." After October, Iraq

The invasion of Kuwait has been settled. At that time, the money I invested in crude oil futures was about to be recovered one after another. Sixty million US dollars, although it can still be called a huge sum of money, is not enough.

As for hurting your own muscles and bones.

James Cameron's eyes widened in astonishment. He had never expected that Fang Mingyuan would have such confidence in him, saying that he had an investment amount of 60 million U.S. dollars. In this case, wouldn't it mean that he had 100 million U.S. dollars?

A shooting budget of 20 million US dollars. Regardless of the final box office sales, just being the director of the first film with a budget of over 100 million US dollars in the history of world cinema is enough to make him famous in history!

His assistant and Lin Lian were also shocked. An investment of 60 million US dollars was a huge film investment even among the old Hollywood film companies. Unexpectedly, Fang Mingyuan was optimistic about James Cameron.

"Terminator 2" has reached such a high point.

After a long while, James Cameron came back to his senses and said: "Mr. Fang, this must be negotiated with the company, but I can agree to it myself. I think this should not be a problem." With such generous conditions, it would be impossible not to agree.

Damn it. The company is a small company, and it's hard to say whether it can afford the budget of 60 million US dollars. It would be a fool not to catch the big boss like Fang Mingyuan.

"So that work co-authored by Mr. Michael Clayton and Mr. Fang?" James Cameron asked again.

"Mr. Michael Crichton's work is not expected to be published until the end of the year, and the official filming will not be until next year. So I hope Mr. Cameron can leave a schedule by then. I can guarantee that the investment intensity will not be lower than that of "Terminator"

2. "If we all have a happy cooperation, I don't mind cooperating with Ms. Gower's company again. However, the film copyright must belong to me. There is no room for negotiation on this point." Fang Mingyuan decided that this condition,

Even without the consent of the American film company, he could complete the filming of "Jurassic Park" in Hong Kong. With James Cameron and the huge profits from "Terminator 2", he did not believe that those special effects companies would not accept payment.

money!

The copyright of the "Jurassic Park" series must be in your own hands!

Perhaps Fan Mingyuan's conditions are a bit arrogant in the eyes of Americans. If there is no American film market, it would be difficult to recoup the cost of such a huge film investment. However, Fan Mingyuan believes that with James Cameron and Michael Clayton,

"Jurassic Park" is the three golden signatures in the future. Even Hong Kong movies can make a mark in the American film market!
