Chapter 428 Don't rush to answer
The more Cameron heard it, the more frightened he became, and of course, the more excited he became.He didn't expect that Fang Mingyuan would go with him.Cameron has always been more interested in shipwrecks. In the past six months, while filming "Terminator 2", he is also looking at some information about the Titanic.And what made Cameron even more incredible was that the story Fang Mingyuan narrated was so in line with his wishes. He had a feeling that even if he wrote the script himself, the script he wrote would be nothing more than this.

Fang Mingyuan compiled a romantic love story into this tragic catastrophe.In this story, the handsome and lovable commoner protagonist Jack and the social figure Rose gradually get close because of a chance encounter, although from the beginning to the end, they all have to face their little bit of happiness in the movie. threat of destruction.

As Fang Mingyuan said at the beginning, this is a disaster movie, and at the same time it is a romance movie. Its background is the stubborn class differences in that era.This point is implicitly shown in the movie through the huge difference in cabin levels.If the two protagonists want to get together, they must resist the pressure from class and overcome class barriers.

The reason why people are always fascinated by fairy tales like Cinderella is because people hope that one day, they can really become a golden phoenix like Cinderella.At the same time, people are also obsessed with the story of a commoner marrying a princess.Fang Mingyuan's story just happens to satisfy people's mentality

Unprecedented shipwreck, and romantic love, can attract the eyes of countless people all over the world for the film, and this is the point of view, this is what the audience needs
Gore was also admiring. The huge disaster and romantic love were shown on the same stage, forming a huge contrast, which further highlighted the preciousness of love.And through this love story, the director can take the audience from the bow to the stern, and see every interesting place on the ship, whether it is the luxury belonging to the high-level society or the simplicity of the people at the bottom.So that the audience can experience the luxury and optimism of the upper class people that most of the passengers on the ship could not understand at that time.And this shows people's blind confidence in the Titanic at that time.

Although the Titanic can be said to be the most advanced navigating ship at that time, it is still so fragile in the face of the power of nature.But people at the time were unaware of this, and almost fanatically believed that it would never be possible to sink.

But the final result was at the cost of the death of as many as [-] lives, making human beings realize their own insignificance once again.

After listening to Fang Mingyuan's "story", both Gore and Cameron fell into a long silence.

"Fang, I am very grateful for your trust in me, but I need to think about this matter carefully." Cameron first broke the silence and said solemnly.Directing a movie with a total budget of [-] million US dollars is certainly an honor and an affirmation of one's ability, but it is also a huge pressure to invest so much. If you can't get enough returns, you may even earn If the investment cost is not returned, it will be a huge and even terrible blow to both Fang Mingyuan and Cameron himself.
In the history of Hollywood, it can be said that there are many cases where big-budget and big-produced movies eventually collapsed, which seriously damaged the vitality of the film company, and there are even precedents where the ownership of the film company had to be transferred.For the directors, such an experience will also be a tragic event that may affect their lives.So while Cameron was excited, he also had to consider the terrible consequences if he failed.

"James, I know very well that such a large budget will put you under great psychological pressure, but it doesn't matter. I estimate that this movie will not start shooting until at least the mid-90s, when the special effects technology is further developed. You still have enough Moreover, I believe that after the release, their achievements will give you enough confidence." Fang Mingyuan waved his hands indifferently.He didn't expect Cameron to agree immediately. If Cameron agreed on the spot, it would be a bit uneasy.

And with this large bait, I think Cameron will be very motivated in the near future

Gao Er sighed faintly, looking at Fang Mingyuan with an unspeakable look in his eyes.At this moment, Gore feels that he is still old. A person who has been in Hollywood for so many years can only watch a new company, which surpasses the company he has worked hard for nearly ten years like a rocket. company.With a total budget of [-] million U.S. dollars, the Halcyon Film Company is trying to sell everything, so I am afraid they will not be able to come up with such a shooting plan.

cooperate?Not to mention how much risk there is, whether the board of directors will agree, but how much can Halcyon Films invest?If it is 2 million US dollars, it only accounts for one-third of the shares, and the 5000 million US dollars budget of "Terminator 5000" is all because of Gore's unknowing how much rhetoric and how many concessions he made before the board of directors agreed.And [-] million US dollars is only one-sixth of the film's total budget.

Although Gore had a premonition that Fang Mingyuan should not fight an unprepared war, since he dared to propose this plan, he must be sure. After all, [-] million US dollars is not a small number, and no one's money fell from the sky. The ones that come down cannot be used to play for a moment of enthusiasm.However, Gore knew that neither he nor Halcyon Films dared to take the risk. This extremely rare opportunity would probably be reluctantly given up in the end.

In the following days, Gore transferred a group of people from the Kingfisher Film Company to assist Cameron in filming the beautiful scenery of Yazhou. Luo Xianli and Yu Linsheng, who heard the news, naturally went all out In cooperation, all government departments gave the green light to ensure that Cameron's needs were met as soon as possible.Wanting people to give people, asking for money to give money, Luo Xianli and Yu Linsheng even proactively came to visit Cameron and Gore several times.

In their view, if they can win the favor of a world-renowned director like Cameron and the Halcyon Film Company, they may get unexpected benefits in the United States in the future.After all, the United States is one of the top powers in the world, far surpassing other countries in terms of economy and military.That is to say, the Soviet Union was barely able to compete with it.But now that the Soviet Union is already sunset, it is still counting on capital investment from other countries, and it is simply unable to expand outward.On the other hand, Americans are rich and powerful, and dare to spend [-] million US dollars to make a movie

In fact, their thinking is not wrong. Although it is impossible for Gore and Cameron to make any large-scale investment in Yazhou, they are still celebrities in Hollywood, and they know countless dignitaries. Maybe on a certain occasion, a sentence or two on a certain opportunity may bring a few investments to Yazhou.

So Fang Mingyuan didn't stop them, he just let them go
Sitting in front of the wharf on Wuzhizhou Island, Fang Mingyuan read a book leisurely. Not far away, Chen Zhong and Lin Lian also brought a few tables and chairs, propped up sun umbrellas, and sat there.After this period of time, five wooden villas have been built on Wuzhizhou Island, all the household appliances and living facilities are complete, and a small power plant has been built among the military projects left over. To ensure the island's power supply.Fang Mingyuan wanted to use solar and wind power to generate electricity, but it would take time. Anyway, even if solar and wind power generation facilities were installed in the end, as a backup power generation device, the existence of fuel oil would still be needed.In order to ensure the connection with the other side of the sea, there is a radio station, a telephone line across the sea, and three speedboats.

Under the slightly fishy sea breeze, looking at the boundless sea, this feeling is very comfortable, and it gives Fang Mingyuan a pleasure to escape from the interference of the world. At this moment, he doesn't have to think about what to do in the future, what to change in the future What, how the Fang family will develop in the future, he just needs to lie on the beach chair, basking in the warm sunshine, drowsy.

Just when he was half asleep, the sound of a speedboat came from the sea. Following the sound, he saw a speedboat coming from the opposite side of the sea. There were three people on board. Zheng Yan from Huatian Construction Group Co., Ltd. is in it
"Young Master Fang, I'm here to disturb you again." Zheng Yan said loudly with a smile on his face, "You won't refuse me to go to the island?" Now this Wuzhizhou Island is Fang Mingyuan's private island, if he didn't get permission to go to the island , although it is not likely to be pointed at the head with a gun like the Americans, but if Chen Zhong throws them all into the sea, it is unreasonable.After all, nominally, it still belongs to the Yazhou Naval Base.

For people like Zheng Yan, the deterrent power of the military is much higher than that of the local government.

Fang Mingyuan shook his head helplessly, Chen Zhong walked up to the pier to take the cable, and tied it to the concrete pile of the pier.

Lin Lian also put away the pens and paper on the table, and sent these things back to the villa. When she came out again, she was already carrying a tray with teapots and cups on it.

Zheng Yan had already sat next to Fang Mingyuan at this time, and when he saw Lin Lian approaching, he quickly stood up and stretched out his hand to pick her up.

Lin Lian turned slightly to one side, avoided his hand, put the tray on the table and said, "President Zheng is a guest from afar, so there is no reason for you to do it."

Zheng Yan withdrew his hand embarrassingly, and sat down again.
