Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 191 Shock

Schwarzenegger and others were stunned by Cameron's words, especially Edward Furlong, who was at the top of the wave, and was even more frightened by Cameron's extremely harsh words.

He had never played any role before. It was by chance that he was brought into the crew of "Terminator 2" by the casting staff. It can be said that in the American film industry, before the release of "Terminator 2", there was no such thing as "Terminator 2".

Influence has no foundation.

It was not clear to him as a young man what the significance of being able to join the first US$100 million film shoot in the history of world cinema was, but being able to perform on the same stage with the big stars in those movies was.

He felt particularly excited. Moreover, his family also believed that this was a rare opportunity in Edward's life, so they repeatedly reminded him to cherish this opportunity and listen to the director's words. And Edward did indeed do it.

This, coupled with his excellent performance in the role of Little John, made Cameron admire him quite a lot. However, he did not expect that Cameron would actually say such a thing and say that he would

Hollywood completely blocks itself!

Although he is not very old, he can still understand that with Cameron's identity and status in Hollywood, it must be easy to ban him, a fledgling and unknown newcomer!

Schwarzenegger and others did not expect that Cameron would be so serious about this. Yes, among these people present, except for Edward, everyone else is an adult and should understand the priorities of the matter.

But you don’t want to say it to this point, right?

Edward's face was pale and he said: "Director, I will never say a word to others. If you are still not at ease, I can leave first."

"Forget it, leave. I just hope you can keep this secret before it is made public!" Cameron waved his hand. If Edward were to leave like this, what would other people in the hall do if they saw his current appearance?

think?

"When I got acquainted with Fang, Fang provided Mr. Michael Clayton with an outline of a story. Well, maybe it's more appropriate to use an idea. Mr. Michael Clayton is currently working on this idea. He agreed.

The future script adaptation rights of this book will be handed over to Fang, and Fang agreed that I will direct this movie!" Cameron explained concisely and concisely.

"Mr. Michael Clayton?" Several actors present couldn't help but whisper. As an American actor, how could the famous Michael Clayton not know this?

"Is that Michael Clayton?" Linda still felt unbelievable and couldn't help asking again.

"Apart from that one, which other work by Mr. Michael Crichton is worthy of my expectations?" Cameron asked. Several people fell silent.

"Who are they talking about?" Uda Guangli asked Fang Mingyuan in a low voice, puzzled.

"Michael Clayton, the most famous best-selling author in the United States." Fang Mingyuan replied in the same low voice. Although he had known that Michael Clayton had a huge influence in the United States, when he saw Arnold and the others

When reacting, I still couldn't help but secretly rejoice that I was really lucky to be recognized by Michael Clayton. This was like a huge stepping stone, saving myself a lot of trouble.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's eyes when he looked at Fang Mingyuan were filled with disbelief. No wonder Cameron valued Fang Mingyuan so much. It turned out that there was such a relationship. Michael Clayton, the most famous American actor

A best-selling author, his works can create huge waves in the American publishing industry, and obtaining the right to adapt his works into movies, even without any publicity, will definitely arouse the most eager attention of the majority of Americans. As for Hollywood,

For these directors, as long as the director's quality is not too bad and the investment is too small, otherwise it means a ticket to an Oscar nomination. No director can refuse such a huge temptation.

It is impossible for these actors not to understand what it means for a screenwriter to be recognized by both Michael Clayton and Cameron at the same time. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton,

Sandra Bullock was naturally happy, while Robert Patrick looked disappointed. Edward Furlong? He was still wondering about the meaning of this.

"Mr. Fang, do I also have a chance to be a starring role?" Sandra Bullock said with a trembling voice, which made her voice sound a little weird, but at this moment no one would laugh at her. Everyone was envious of her

Not only did Fan Mingyuan recommend her to Cameron, but he also created a script tailor-made for her. This was simply a miracle given to her by God!

Cameron looked at Fang Mingyuan with a strange expression. He also couldn't understand Fang Mingyuan's intention at all. He was actually so interested in this girl.

Uda Mitsuri and Lin Lian also looked at each other silently, but no one spoke.

Fang Mingyuan smiled and nodded and said: "Heroine, but I will not be filming this script in the near future. I think your acting skills need further training before you can take on the role of the heroine." Sandra Bu.

Locke was so excited that it was beyond words. He just nodded his head, his lips trembling, but he couldn't say a word.

"James, what I'm talking about does not include the one adapted by Mr. Michael Crichton. Well, if possible, there is one of them that I also hope to be directed by you. It will still be a collaboration with Arnold."

"True Lies", this film can be said to be a classic among the world's action film classics in the 1990s. It is one of the best films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and another film directed by James Cameron.

Milestone, raking in hundreds of millions of dollars in box office around the world. For Chinese audiences, this film was also the beginning of China’s import of Hollywood blockbusters. It once set off a movie-watching frenzy in the mainland film market. It also left a very deep impression on Fang Mingyuan.

impression.

"My god, doesn't that mean that in the past few years, I will have to work on your scripts!" Cameron muttered.

"But I think you won't refuse after reading the script! Of course, I also hope that you won't talk too much about me because of the results of "Terminator 2". I hope you can control the total investment to one

Within 100 million U.S. dollars." In the previous life, "True Lies" was released in the second half of 1993. In this way, the filming will be one year in advance. In this way, the cost can be smaller.

Arnold and the others couldn't help but take a breath of cold air again. From Fang Mingyuan's words, they could tell that this was obviously going to be another big-budget movie with an investment of nearly 100 million US dollars. Linda... Hamilton and the others couldn't help but

Envious eyes are cast on Arnold Schwarzenegger! He is so lucky to have the honor to star in two movies with such amazing investment. Once a big-budget movie is successful, its box office will definitely be very impressive, and as the protagonist in it

, the salary will naturally rise accordingly. Maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger can enter the ranks of Hollywood's first-line superstars from now on!

"Mr. Fang, about which director directed my script?" Linda Hamilton couldn't wait to ask Arnold before he could speak. Being able to get a movie tailor-made for herself is a great achievement.

It is already very rare, and if you can get a movie tailor-made for yourself by a famous screenwriter, it is simply a rare blessing. With the double guarantee of Cameron and Michael Clayton, Linda

.Hamilton no longer doubts Fang Mingyuan’s screenwriting skills.

Fang Mingyuan scratched his head habitually. Due to some shortcomings in the plot, "Fire Peak" can only be said to be a mediocre work due to its box office performance compared with its investment cost, and it cannot be called a classic.

was a work, but Fang Mingyuan liked it very much, and it was a disaster movie. Fang Mingyuan remembered a lot of classic disaster movies in his previous life, many of which were box-office and well-received works. But those works,

In today's Hollywood, there are still great difficulties in achieving technical realization, and the realistic effects cannot be achieved. In comparison, the special effects of "Flaming Peak" are relatively easy to make, and Fang Mingyuan plans to make "Flame Cravings" a reality.

The plot of "Peak" will be partially modified to see if it can achieve better results. Anyway, in the previous life, it did not lose money in the end. If it doesn't work, just treat it as a trial of a disaster movie.

Moreover, it is also very important to please Linda Hamilton. After all, she will become Cameron's wife in the future and will bear children for him. Although the two eventually broke up, it is Cameron's relationship with him these days.

Among the ladies, he is the one who has been with him the longest. Fang Mingyuan is very aware of the power of pillow wind, and believes that there is no difference between the East and the West on this point. For Cameron, Fang Mingyuan

Naturally, he hopes to add double insurance, which will be an important money tree for him in the future.

"This is a disaster movie. Which director is more suitable? I think James has more say on this point. But until the special effects can be satisfactory, it won't be able to start shooting. It will take some time." Fang Mingyuan also said.

To be fair to her, Cameron nodded knowingly. Fang Mingyuan was reminding himself that the establishment of the special effects production company must be completed as soon as possible.

Linda Hamilton nodded happily. Fang Mingyuan obviously handed over the choice of director to Cameron, and her relationship with Cameron has always been good. In this case, she doesn't have to worry too much, because the movie

You can't start shooting right away and have something change happen later.

At this time, Gower and two senior executives of the Emerald Bird Film Company came over accompanied by three white men in their forties and fifties.

"You guys seem to be having a great time chatting?" Gore's voice came over before anyone arrived.

Everyone stood up one after another to welcome their arrival.

"Fang, let me introduce to you, this is Drunkard Carlson, the chairman of Peak Entertainment Company..." Gower said with a genuine smile.

Drunkard Carlson, Fang Mingyuan, Lin Lian and Uda Mitsuri all showed surprised expressions. Cameron and the others looked at Fang Mingyuan and the three of them and laughed in unison. The middle-aged man smiled nonchalantly and said: "How many times?"

You heard me right, I am indeed called Drunkard. Carlson, although I am not very interested in wine, I can only count the number of times I get drunk in my life. To be honest, every time a stranger hears this name,

The expression on his face makes me very hurt." Even though he said this, his expression didn't look very sad, maybe he had already become numb.

"Okay, okay, you are much luckier than that Mr. Guess, who lost a good job opportunity inexplicably because of this." Cameron laughed. It turns out that in the United States, there was a

There was an interesting incident. At that time, the library of a prestigious university in the United States was recruiting a staff member. Because the salary and benefits were very good, and the work was leisurely, many people applied for the job. When the library director personally interviewed one of them,

When we were alone, I asked casually what the other person's name was, and the person smiled and said "Guess".

As a result, the director became angry at that time and angrily said: "I am the director of this library, and I don't have much time to play guessing games with you!" After that, he walked away, leaving only that person behind.

An innocent-looking candidate - his name is indeed the word you guessed. Later, this incident was leaked to the media by someone, which caused the public to burst into laughter.

In the eyes of Chinese people, it is normal for a person to have a name and a surname. Hundreds of surnames have been around for thousands of years, and each surname has a long historical story. If someone says that he has a name but no surname,

That would just turn into a joke. So in China, when strangers meet, the first thing they say is often, "May I ask for your surname?"

But for the vast majority of Europeans and Americans, the history of surnames is still quite short-lived. In the long history, only the privileged classes and nobles had surnames, and it was impossible for commoners and slaves to enjoy them.

Such treatment. Therefore, it was not until more than ten centuries AD that civilians in European countries gradually had surnames. Their surnames are still very interesting, and their origins often make Chinese people laugh. For example, those with surnames have occupations, such as butchers.

, archer and the like; there are also people with the surname of animals and plants, the most typical one is Wolf, which means wolf in English; there are also people with the surname of Color, and this is a common surname in the United States, and there are quite a few of them;

There are also some more powerful things, such as fat men, stones, coffins and the like.

However, at this point, there are also some interesting anecdotes in China. At least Fang Mingyuan remembered that it was once published in the newspaper. Someone's surname was Yue Mingjing, and someone was named Bi Yuntao. At that time, everyone in the office laughed.

"This is Edwards Schreier, the director of Aihui Pictures. This is Woody Laurent, the boss of Focus Pictures." Gower introduced the other two people to Fang Mingyuan.

It can be said that they are all companies that Fang Mingyuan has never heard of. And the actual situation is indeed the case. These three companies are all film companies in the middle and lower reaches of Hollywood. Compared with the Emerald Bird Film Company, they are all far inferior. Although

There are also some films released every year, but they generally do not have great box office results, and there is naturally no chance of winning awards at events like the Oscars. In Hollywood, there are quite a few such small film companies. Almost every year

New faces emerge, and film companies go bankrupt every year.

"This person is Mr. Fang, our Eastern partner who I have mentioned to three people before and one of the screenwriters of "Terminator 2."" Gower said with a smile.

Although Edwards and Schreier had long heard about this mysterious Eastern investor from Gower, they still couldn't hold back their faces when they faced Fang Mingyuan at close range.

Surprised.

"I once heard that there is an old saying in China that has been passed down for thousands of years, saying that since ancient times, heroes have been different since childhood." Drunkard Carlson sighed in admiration, "In Mr. Fang's case, let me

Once again, the correctness of this sentence is confirmed!”

"Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth!" Fang Mingyuan said in Chinese. Unexpectedly, this drunkard also knew Chinese proverbs.

"Yes, yes, that's the sentence." Drunkard Carlson clapped his hands repeatedly, "I remember its pronunciation very clearly, but I have to say that Chinese is the most difficult language in the world to learn."

Fang Mingyuan shrugged speechlessly. In China, American English or English has also stumped hundreds of millions of people. The energy and time he devoted to English is almost equivalent to the sum of other subjects. If it weren't for Chinese, it would be his own.

Mother tongue, otherwise, it’s really hard to say which one speaks better, English or Chinese.

After Gao Er and the others said a few words, they left with smiles on their faces. It could be seen that Gao Er was in a good mood. Fang Mingyuan looked at their leaving figures, but he was thoughtful in his heart. This dinner, although

It was to welcome him, but mainly to make the company and crew familiar with him. Gower invited the shareholders of these three film companies. I am afraid it was not just to introduce him to him, right?

"Three of them are him. Although the film company under his name has only been established in Hong Kong for a year, it has successfully become a first-line film company in Hong Kong like those film companies that have been established for more than ten years. Although it does not produce films independently

, all the works are co-produced with other film companies, but I can responsibly tell you that from the directors to the actors, all of these works are top-notch figures in the Hong Kong film industry." Gower said to the three of them in a low voice,

"And he also owns a supermarket chain in China. Maybe you have heard of it, that is the Carrefour supermarket that rejected the acquisition by Carefour Group and reached a cooperation agreement with Wal-Mart Group!"

The three drunkards Carlson couldn't help but be moved once again. How could they not know about the famous Wal-Mart Group?
