The Strongest Life Reborn

Back to "Terminator".

Disney TV channel promotion is only a part of the overall promotion.

Before shooting, Yin Jun asked Cameron to visit IMAX. After the Canadian returned to his hometown, he was full of praise for IMAX's technology. For Yin Jun's shooting with IMAX Hand in favor.

Anyway, the money is not made by oneself. It is better to use the boss's money to experiment new technology.

The first commercial application of IMAX also caused Cameron to shoot very slowly.

"Terminator" started in June last year, and all the resources were also equipped in June, but Cameron filmed it for 6 months, and it was only finished at the end of December.

Then in January, "Terminator" began to produce post-production special effects in the digital field special effects company, and the final editing was only completed at the end of March.

That is to say, in fact, when preparing for the release, the production team there was still working overtime, but it was just editing the clips of each promotion in advance for the promotion.

Fortunately, Cameron is not yet a God of Cards, or a super director of "I am the King of the World", so he knows that Yin Jun is scheduled to be released in early April, and he has been staying up late for the production since the post-production. Editing, the entire team worked more than sixteen hours a day!

Don't think that the United States. The Chinese are selfless dedication, this work beyond the working hours, all have to work overtime, double to triple.

Therefore, when the final editing version of the film came out, the production cost of 20 million US dollars was spent cleanly, and an additional 10 million US dollars was overspent!

Cameron was very tired, because he not only controlled the overall situation of the crew, but also participated in the post-production, so he took his biggest idea.

More importantly, he actually got the final editing rights. This was the biggest power that was more carefully recovered by Hollywood ’s seven majors after the “Gate of Heaven” suffered the Lianyi Film Company. It was actually entrusted to Yin Jun ’s trust. He was touched and motivated.

In a certain way, Cameron is so expensive to make because he feels that he can only trust the trust of Yin Jun by making Terminator the best.

As for money, it will be discussed later. Making a good movie is the most important thing.

Okay.

The original production cost of "Terminator" is only about 7 million US dollars.

Started shooting "Terminator" a few years earlier, and the cost exceeded 300%. If the depreciation of the currency value is added, it will be overrun by 400%!

Although the shooting cost of the IMAX version has greatly increased, the increase is too shocking.

This is still the production cost, and the promotion cost Yin Jun also boldly allocated 20 million US dollars for the global market, of which 10 million US dollars was placed in the first market in North America.

The company that produced "Terminator" in the previous life was just a second-rate small production company. Even Cameron had to give up his director's remuneration and dividends, just to let him have full control of everything, but in the end, he almost didn't even have the production cost. Can get together.

Otherwise why do you think they chose Arnold Schwarzenegger with only a figure? Isn't it because he is cheap?

The production company of the previous life couldn't even make up the production cost, let alone the cost of publicity, so "Terminator" was basically released in a small publicity, and then through word of mouth word of mouth, finally burst into the air. At the box office of US $ 40 million, I made a small profit of US $ 6 million.

Then on subsequent DVDs and global copyrights, I made tens of millions in a few years.

That is, relying on these tens of millions of profits, coupled with the special effects technology to the point where Cameron hopes to achieve, only seven years later, "Terminator 2" turned out, which made the "Terminator". 》 This super IP!

Is different in this life.

Yin Jun told Cameron at the beginning, you will do it carefully for me to do my best.

The truck driver has a lot of enthusiasm. Although he is not a big director yet, the $ 20 million budget is spent cleanly, and he has also spent $ 10 million in production costs. Such a guts, even Tang Shuxuan was a bit worried for him.

But He Yinjun had told Tang Shuxuan, Cameron's all requirements, as long as he could do it, so Tang Shuxuan gave money so simply, but also worried that this young man messed up, in the end What will be the end.

Do you think Cameron is worried?

Depends on when.

When he was shooting and post-production, he didn't think about it at all and never considered it.

After the post-production was completed, the final edited version came out. When Yin Jun came to see him, he felt a little guilty.

For this reason, he specially called Schwarzenegger, feeling that if scolded, the future son-in-law of the Kennedy family can also help disperse the firepower.

Yin Jun didn't scold him at the beginning, but sat in an IMAX screening hall of the Kirin North American theater line that was vacated, and was called the director of the theater line of Disney and United Arts Movies, as well as Robert Iger and Wu Siyuan. Together, looked at this "Terminator".

As a super blockbuster called the best science fiction film of the 20th century, "Terminator 1" is not as stunning as the second liquid robot, and it is not as evil as the third beauty. The female liquid robot, but The meaning of its existence is extraordinary.

This is the first time someone has made a robot into a human shape, and then in the process of fighting, he has made a half-human and half-machine look. This refreshing design gives people a powerful and shocking viewing experience. .

Schwarzenegger, who has always been half-red and black, has become famous, and laid his glory for 40 years in the future.

Everyone has said that if it was n’t for Schwarzenegger ’s many fans, the identity of his son-in-law of the Kennedy family would not be able to take him to the position of governor of California.

And some people said that if one day, the US parliament amends the bill and agrees that “non-US-born Americans can run for president,” then it must be prepared for Schwarzenegger.

It is a pity that Schwarzenegger ’s trip to California Governor did not bring him much extra points. On the contrary, it also made people think that his ability to govern was relatively mediocre, which also regarded him as the president ’s road.

A person can have such great prestige and fame by acting in movies, Schwarzenegger is definitely the first person in the world.

Reagan is not counted, he is just a relatively famous actor, and he is more famous as a president than he is an actor.

"Terminator" achievements, and card god.

Although Cameron ’s most famous movie is definitely not “Terminator”, it is full of imagination, and this sci-fi film with excellent sound and shadow effects has made Hollywood aware of his superior ability, which makes him have more directing in the future. Multiple movie opportunities.

Therefore, it can be seen that the success of "Terminator" is far greater than the success of its movie itself, and the significance it attaches to the movie world is also extraordinary and unique.

In this life, as the first audience besides the director and producer, who saw the final edited version of the new "Terminator", Yin Jun took it very seriously.

But Yin Jun did not look like a few other people. When he saw the terrifying robots killing the Quartet, that kind of amazement and uproar.

He has quietly seen the last subtitles appear.

This made Cameron and Schwarzenegger feel a little upset.

To be honest, when Cameron produced the final edited version, he invited Schwarzenegger to watch them. Everyone, these crew members, liked it very much, and felt that they would achieve good box office results.

But with a movie that everyone loves, why is there no reaction on Yin Jun's side?

Even if Yin Jun is a screenwriter, he has already seen all the plots in the script, but the shock of this real movie light and shadow effect should not be comparable in his mind.

"Boss, what do you think?" Cameron swallowed and asked a little tremblingly.

He was originally confident, but Yin Jun's reaction made him less confident.

"Very good."

Yin Jun nodded, only a little smile appeared on his face: "James, you did not disappoint me, this script, you have done very well!"

Call ...

You said it early!

Cameron let out a long breath.

At this time, Wu Siyuan and Robert Iger next to them had the courage to congratulate Cameron and praise him for the good shooting-Yin Jun did not speak before. If they go to congratulate, in case the boss feels that the shooting is not very good That's bad, so they all endured it before.

Yin Jun naturally did not speak polite words.

I watched "Terminator" several times in my previous life, and I felt that the effect and background are still a bit rough. "Terminator 2" is really good.

But in this life, Cameron used an IMAX camera and paid four times the price of the work, which is definitely a conscience.

Not only is the overall style very modern, the fullness of the characters and the compact plot are even better.

Especially the special effects technology, including the various shapes of the T800, has a slightly realistic feeling, especially when the T800 is injured during the fight, revealing the greasy half of the machine face, and the IMAX screen, the effect looks shocked. .

And its broken leg, crawling forward on the ground, and trying to kill the heroine, the kind of creepy urgency that the whole giant screen showed was also commendable.

Of course, you have to say that there is no essential difference between the 30 million and the 7 million. There must be something.

There was no IMAX version in the previous life.

The sense of urgency coming from the face, as well as a variety of nervous chasing scenes, IMAX looks absolutely very cool. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The huge, near-impact feeling is totally suffocating.

Compared with the ordinary version, the upgraded version of IMAX is the feeling of a real movie feast.

It's no wonder that after watching IMAX and 3D action movies, and then going to see the ordinary home theater version, many people will not be refreshed.

It's no wonder that in the future super blockbuster, the kind of special effects that produce excellent blockbuster, the box office score will be so high-if you are not going to the cinema, how can you enjoy such a perfect film perception?

Is not a grade at all!

Even if there is no 3D yet, just an IMAX screen is already amazing enough.

The current audience is more blessed than another time and space audience!

As long as you look at the group of people in the film industry who were stunned and filmed just now, you know how much impact this will have on the general audience!

You must know that the heads of the theater distribution department of Disney and Lianyi Films were a bit dismissive of IMAX before, and they thought it was a waste of money!

Now I have seen the IMAX version of "Terminator", and I think they will never talk nonsense again. ...
