Chapter 535 Cameron’s invitation

The total box office performance of "Terminator 2" in North America and Hong Kong has exceeded the US$100 million mark, and judging from the feedback, there are still long queues in front of theaters in the two places. Movie fans are very excited about "Terminator 2"

Not only has the enthusiasm for "Terminator 2" not diminished at all, but it has become increasingly high as time goes by. Some people in the media have begun to predict whether the final box office of "Terminator 2" will exceed the US$300 million mark.

The box office sales in North America and Hong Kong are soaring, which undoubtedly makes movie fans in other countries around the world look forward to the release of "Terminator 2" even more. Like some movie fans in Europe and Japan, in order to see "Terminator 2" in advance

, and even flew to North America or Hong Kong to watch it, and their admiration after returning home made movie fans in these countries even more excited for the release of the film.

In order to prepare for the release of "Terminator 2" in Japanese theaters, Japanese theaters started pre-sales of movie tickets in advance under the strong request of the people. In just three days, movie tickets in major regional theaters in Japan within a week

All have been sold out. But even

This still cannot satisfy the Japanese people's enthusiasm for "Terminator 2". In private, those fans who are eager to watch "Terminator 2" are bidding more than ten times the normal movie tickets! But even

In this way, many times there is a price but no market.

Due to the emphasis on the Japanese film market, not only most of the actors will attend this premiere, but even Cameron himself temporarily put aside the preparations for "Jurassic Park" and flew to Tokyo to participate in this premiere.

A premiere.

"James, you are putting me on the fire!" Fang Mingyuan said to Cameron helplessly. As the box office of "Terminator 2" continues to rise, and as the media speculates on the final box office, a

And after repeated increases, it has now reached an incredible 300 million US dollars. Naturally, the value of the crew members of "Terminator 2" has also increased.

, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton have jumped into the ranks of Hollywood's top male and female stars, and child actor Edward Furlong has also become an emerging child star in Hollywood because of his outstanding performance in the film. The rest of the actors have also

All have improved to varying degrees. Naturally, the one that people pay the most attention to is the mysterious screenwriter and director - "Fang".

"Fang, this is what you deserve! You Orientals are too humble!" Cameron patted Fang Mingyuan on the shoulder with a smile and said, "What's yours is yours. If it's all in my name, it's yours."

, I won’t be able to find peace in my heart. But don’t worry, I’m already here

The crew has issued a hush-hush order. If anyone dares to violate the order and leak your identity, he will never be able to work in the film industry again! Moreover, Gore also issued an order to the Emerald Bird Film Company. No.

No one is allowed to reveal your identity to the outside world, so don’t worry!”

The reason why Cameron did this was that, firstly, they would not understand Fang Mingyuan’s true thoughts; secondly, it was also to prevent the news from being leaked in the future, which would damage his reputation; thirdly, it was also to please Fang Mingyuan. Let him act like this

Said, what else could Fang Mingyuan say at this time, he could only shake his head and sigh.

"Eh? Isn't the beautiful Ms. Yu here?" Only then did Cameron notice that the person sitting in the seat of Kumho Film Company was not the Yu Qiuxia he had seen before.

"Sister Qiu Xia has many things to do and has no time to come here. She asked me to say hello to you." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Cameron naturally expressed his gratitude.

The conversation between the two naturally turned to "Terminator 2". Not to mention that the media were surprised by the current situation, even Cameron himself was really frightened by the soaring box office.

Jump. In just over a week, the box office in North America and Hong Kong alone has exceeded 100 million US dollars. This way

The result was something he had never thought of in advance. As for Gower and the senior executives of Kingfisher Film Company, they are holding statistical reports every day and are so happy that they can’t open their mouths from ear to ear. Within the Kingfisher Film Company, many people now believe that "

It shouldn’t be a problem for the global box office of “Terminator 2” to exceed US$300 million!

"Three hundred million dollars? To be honest, it sounds like a dream to me!" Cameron said without hesitation, "If this is the case, it should be the North American box office champion this year!"

Fang Mingyuan laughed, but didn't say anything. He knew that in his previous life, the total global box office of "Terminator 2" reached more than 500 million US dollars and 300 million US dollars. That must not be its end. And "Terminator 2"

2" was released to rave reviews from the media and fans. It was once rated as the best movie sequel in the history of movies. It ended the history of movie sequels generally not being as good as the first episode. It truly achieved "both fame and fortune".

Even more than ten years later, after the box office champion of the world movie rankings changed, the box office ranking of "Terminator" also slipped from the first place to more than 40 places. However, it must be mentioned that the film was produced earlier.

There are only four movies ranked before "Terminator 2", namely the second and third episodes of "Star Wars" and "The End of the World". This shows the success of (Terminator 2)!

"James, after all this calculation, you're losing money. It's better to get a share of the box office than the director's fee!" Fang Mingyuan joked.

"Haha, it's true, but before that, who could have thought that "Terminator 2" would achieve such a great success!" Cameron shrugged. You know, before "Terminator 2" was released, because of its

With a production cost of over 100 million US dollars, many media believed that "Terminator 2" would most likely not be able to recoup the cost and become a huge financial black hole for Kingfisher Films. At that time, both Kingfisher Films and Cards

Mellon himself is under tremendous pressure.

If "Terminator 2" fails at the box office, it will be a serious setback for both Kingfisher Films and Cameron's career!

"Fang, but speaking of it, I think you have always been very confident!" Cameron said, "Why do I feel that you have never been worried about the box office failure of "Terminator 2" and your 60 million

It’s like you can’t get back your dollar investment.”

Fang Mingyuan patted Cameron on the back and said softly: "I can rest assured that you will be the director!" What did he have to worry about? Although Cameron always had to invest more in making movies, he invested a lot.

The same amount was taken back. In his previous life, the masterpieces "Titanic" and "Avatar" that swept the world's box office worth billions of dollars were all his works. With such a strong capital base, what does Fang Mingyuan have to worry about?

.

Naturally, Cameron would not understand where Fang Mingyuan's confidence came from. He would only think that it was due to Fang Mingyuan's trust in his abilities. Although Americans do not understand what "a soldier who knows himself will die", but

Cameron was quite excited to receive such unconditional "trust" from Fang Mingyuan.

"Ah, by the way, James, has Arnold come to Tokyo this time?" Fang Mingyuan suddenly remembered.

"He's here? How can he not come as the protagonist? Arnold has truly entered the ranks of Hollywood's top movie stars this time!" Cameron smiled, "He is also very grateful to you. But

, I think what he is looking forward to more is your script!"

"The script is not a problem. I already have an outline, but do you have time?" Fang Mingyuan asked, "How many actors have been selected for "Jurassic Park"?"

"God, have you already thought of his script?" Cameron said depressedly, "Fang, you are simply a genius screenwriter. I really can't imagine how you could write such a script in such a short time.

There are so many scripts coming. And you are able to take care of such a big industry at the same time. Seeing your achievements, to be honest, I am very jealous."

Fang Mingyuan burst into laughter. In his previous life, he probably would never have dreamed that one day, the talented director James Cameron would express his jealousy to his talent in person. "James, okay, you are the one who makes me feel

Jealousy. As long as humanity does not perish, as long as the film industry does not die, your name, Cameron, will remain in film history forever! And I am more like a passerby. Professionals are the best, aren't they?"

"Then are you interested in becoming a professional?" Cameron smiled. "At your age, it's no problem to start from scratch now. I believe that with your funds and your current reputation, you can independently direct one or two films."

There's nothing wrong with the movie, right?" Cameron has long discovered that Fan Mingyuan's scripts have always been very irregular. It's not so much a script as it is that he recorded the plot in his mind in detail... As long as there is a knowledgeable person

A director, with his script and a few good actors, can almost make it. Although it may not be able to compare with world-renowned directors in terms of details or realm, it is unlikely to be a bad film.

Fang Mingyuan waved his hands repeatedly, making some international joke and asking himself to be a director. He didn't think he had that talent. Besides, even if he had it, he would be "castrated" by the Film Censorship Bureau in China. If he got it abroad,

What's the point of making a movie? Looking at him, Cameron didn't insist on this topic.

"Fang, do you want to reserve a few seats for you at this year's Academy Awards party?" Cameron asked with a smile. Although he did not think that "Terminator 2" could win the most important Oscar awards.

People, but he believes that "Terminator 2" will not return empty-handed.

"That's great! You must leave a few for me!" Fang Mingyuan said with bright eyes. In his previous life, he watched the Oscars on TV. In this life, it would be good to watch the live version!

"Hey, look, Arnold is here!"
