"Boom" Gore fell on the table, and the table was filled with clear water.Although Cameron got up quickly, he still splashed water on his leg.Fortunately, the weather was hot, and Cameron was also wearing short beach clothes, which didn't have any effect.But this shows how surprised Goyle was.Fang Mingyuan was not much better than her, and he also looked dumbfounded, staring at Cameron blankly.

Cameron wiped the water off his legs, and sat back as if nothing had happened.

"Fang, did I hear you right?" Gore asked Fang Mingyuan pretending to be hesitant.

Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "James, I thought you wanted to hear why I said that? It's really embarrassing."

Cameron picked up the wine glass in front of him, smiled and said, "It's okay if there is no reason, let you owe me a favor. If you have any good scripts in the future, I can argue with them." A look of sudden realization.Fang Mingyuan took a look at the ex-husband and wife, they really cooperated with each other tacitly.

"Okay, since you think so, James, then I won't say anything about it. I'll come to you when I'm free in the future. However, I'm afraid it's not enough to win the script for a promotional film." Well, James, you still owe me at least two favors, that's about the same," Fang Mingyuan leaned back on his chair, and said calmly.Isn't it just that everyone is playing psychological warfare, I'm afraid
Cameron and Gore looked at each other, but there was a little more light in their eyes.Fang Mingyuan dared to say such a thing, which showed that he must have something in his hands.And judging by Fang Mingyuan's appearance, this must be a condition that Cameron cannot refuse
What could be a condition that Cameron could not refuse?
A set of words flashed in the minds of Gore and Cameron involuntarily—new movie and a new movie with a good script and a big production
If someone else said this, Cameron would probably think that he was playing tricks, but if this matter fell on Fang Mingyuan, it would be at least [-]% credible. Not to mention that in Hong Kong, in the past one or two years, it came from Fang Mingyuan. There are so many scripts, just because he can get the approval of both Cameron and Michael Clayton at the same time, this already shows his ability.If there is any good script in his hands, the two of them are not surprised at all.

The calculation of the adaptation will not start until after Michael Clayton has finished writing it, so if Fang Mingyuan has any new ideas and ideas during this year, it's not surprising, is it?

Gore and Cameron only felt that their hearts were beating violently. The thing that is happier than getting the production rights and director rights of a good script is to get the production rights and director rights of two good scripts. , This sounds like a cold joke, but at this moment, the two really think so.

"Fang" Cameron's voice became a little hoarse, even frightening himself.

"?" Fang Mingyuan looked at him with eyes full of smiles.

"You mean...you have a new movie script?" Cameron swallowed, and this was the complete sentence.

"Ah, well, let's talk about it when I owe you three favors. Anyway, your main job now is Jurassic Park, but it can't be much higher, and I hope that next year's world movie box office champion will be It..." Fang Mingyuan didn't follow his lead at all, but turned to "Jurassic Park".

But the more Fang Mingyuan was like this, the more Cameron became curious, why Fang Mingyuan was so sure that he would not be able to refuse his temptation?

"Oh, come to think of it, James, you will be very busy in the next few years. I think you will have to shoot a trilogy anyway. In this case, you will need at least four years. After four years," Fang Mingyuan said with emotion , "Ms. Gore, I think James must be too busy alone. Is there any other good director who can introduce me, such as Spielberg?"

Spielberg is also an American director that Fang Mingyuan admires very much. His films are all classics in the history of world cinema.And his "Schindler's List" made Fang Mingyuan in his previous life have a deep understanding of the inhumane concentration camp system in Nazi Germany.According to the film history in the previous life, "Jurassic Park" should also be his work.

"Spielberg?" Gore glanced at Cameron and said with a wry smile, "Fang, if you want to meet him, I don't think it's difficult. After "Terminator 2" is released, if Fang's prediction is good, You, who are half a screenwriter and half an investor, will definitely attract his attention."

Fang Mingyuan was secretly thinking, and he didn't know what movie Spielberg was making. If we estimated it from the time, it might be "Schindler's List". This movie has left a strong color in the history of world movies. The movie that brought Spielberg to the top of his career.

Cameron gritted his teeth, Fang Mingyuan was deliberately avoiding talking about it.But the more he was like this, the more curious Cameron became. Why was Fang Mingyuan so sure that he would be interested?

"Fang, I think you've won. If I owe you two more favors, you can finally solve the mystery?" Cameron put his hands on the table and said solemnly.

"Ah?" Fang Mingyuan looked at Cameron in astonishment, the result was somewhat beyond his expectation.The materials I read in my previous life did not say that Cameron actually had such a strong curiosity.

"However, if what you say later doesn't arouse my interest enough, I don't accept this promise." Cameron added, "Don't tell me that you are just bluffing."

"Okay, okay, since you ask James so much, I will naturally obey." Fang Mingyuan raised his hands and said, "Ms. Gore, I hope you can understand that this is a commercial secret. With Kumho, you have to keep it a secret until it's released."

Gore also solemnly raised his hand and said: "I swear to the omniscient and omnipotent God, I will keep this secret, even my relatives, without your permission, will not Will utter a word."

Fang Mingyuan nodded, and turned his gaze back to Cameron. At this time, he was already showing a bit of excitement—as expected, it was a new movie

"I plan to start making a movie in two or three years. Its total budget, including publicity expenses, is..." Fang Mingyuan looked around at the two who were listening intently, and then said, "[-] million dollars."

Unfortunately, the cup in the hands of "[-] million dollars" Gore overturned on the table again, and the clear water that had just been refilled poured out again, but this time, Cameron did not dodge at all, and let it flow for a while. leg.

The astonishingly huge amount of [-] million US dollars has completely shocked the minds of the two of them.

As the first film with a budget of more than 2 million U.S. dollars, "Terminator [-]" has attracted the attention of many people since it started filming. I am afraid that no one knows better than Cameron and Gore.And Fang Mingyuan actually proposed to shoot a movie with a total budget of [-] million US dollars. How could this not surprise the two of them?
Three hundred million U.S. dollars, such a large amount of money, not to mention a film company like Halcyon Films that can only be regarded as a second-tier company in Hollywood, even a veteran film company like Twentieth Century Fox has never had it.

Cameron stared at Fang Mingyuan dumbfounded. Although he had thought that Fang Mingyuan might give him a surprise, the surprise was too big. The budget benchmark of [-] million US dollars had just broken through, and the results had not yet been seen. I was so confident that I not only handed Michael Clayton's new work to me as promised, but also promised a film budget of [-] million US dollars, and was actually planning to let myself make a movie with a total budget of [-] million US dollars , such trust... such trust
For a while, Cameron felt that it was difficult for him to express his gratitude to Fang Mingyuan in words. Although Americans did not say that people who knew each other died like Chinese people, they were able to transfer such a large sum of money. , not to mention ordinary Americans, but many American companies have given themselves huge sums of money that they would never earn in their lifetime, so confident in their own directorial ability, so confident in themselves...

Cameron felt that his mind had turned blank, and he was like a child who had just been exposed to words, and he didn't know what to say about it.

Fang Mingyuan looked at the dumbfounded two people with a smile, and was extremely satisfied with the effect he had created.
He didn't come up with the total budget of 800 million U.S. dollars in a whim, but in his previous life, the final cost of Cameron's filming of "Titanic" was close to [-] million U.S. dollars.Although this budget is astonishing, I believe that any film company in the United States would not dare to raise it rashly.And when Cameron filmed "Titanic" in his previous life, the initial budget was only [-] million U.S. dollars, and later it was increased to nearly [-] million U.S. dollars. The [-] million yuan remuneration earned from the film was also donated.In order to share the risk, Twentieth Century Fox also had to transfer part of its rights to Paramount.

But Fang Mingyuan is different, because he knows that the [-] million US dollars invested in Cameron is definitely worth the money

The global box office of "Titanic" exceeded 18 billion U.S. dollars, becoming the highest-grossing film in the history of world cinema. This figure has not included the various derivative products of "Titanic". If all these are included, it will be a huge income of billions of dollars.And nearly 2000 percent of Titanic's revenue was earned outside the United States and Canada.It ranks first in box office revenue in many European countries, and it is also the same in China.The record it created was not broken until more than ten years later.

Moreover, what Fang Mingyuan values ​​more is that the success of "Titanic" will have a huge impact on the future of the Kumho Group. Yes, it will not only confirm the status of the Kumho Group in the Hong Kong film industry, but may also The film company that made it famous all over the world is the same as those old film companies in the United States. After the release of "Titanic", including the Oscar of the United States, it has won nearly 90 awards all over the world. There were 47 nominations.

a long time……

"Fang, by now you can always tell me what kind of movie this is? It won't be a new version of "Star Wars"?" Apart from the kind of science fiction that makes people feel like a dream, Ka For a while, Mellon really couldn't think of what kind of movie would require such a considerable total budget.

His voice is hoarse, his throat is dry like a fire

"This is a disaster movie, a disaster that will always be remembered in human history, but it will also be a romance movie, a modern version of the story of Juliet and Romeo. In this story, the obstacles that prevent lovers from getting together It is no longer family power, but isolation from social class..." Fang Mingyuan narrated the plot of "Titanic" in his previous life in a low voice.Fortunately, he has watched this movie no less than three times, and he still has a clear memory of the basic main plot in it.

The drinks on the table have already bottomed out, but both Cameron and Gore have been completely attracted by this story.They had already heard that the disaster Fang Mingyuan described was the biggest and most influential sinking of the Titanic on its maiden voyage in the history of human navigation.In that shipwreck, more than 500 crew members and passengers disappeared forever in the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean

However, Fang Mingyuan's script is not completely in the form of a disaster documentary, but an unforgettable love story with this event as the background and stage.
Through the stark contrast of rich and poor, the unchanging social class differences between men and women, the indifferent comfort and respectable behavior of a long-gone era, the unprecedented luxury of the giant ship, driving it crazy and high speed in the dark The audacity of the men of...
