Rebirth, I am the most powerful business tycoon
Chapter 449
San Francisco. a coffee shop
“Mr. Jiang, this is the famous Hollywood director Mr. Cameron.”Kevin Tsujihara introduced him to a white man about forty years old.
Jiang Feng was slightly surprised when he heard that the unattractive man in front of him was Cameron, the future famous Hollywood ‘King of the World’. Cameron was different from what he imagined.
In Jiang Feng’s opinion, people who make movies are usually in the arts, and their clothes are at the forefront of the times. Unexpectedly, the Cameron in front of him was dressed very ordinary, and his hair was a bit messy. , with panda eyes, as if he had never woken up.
Although it was somewhat different from what he imagined, Jiang Feng did not choose to look down on it, but took the initiative to reach out his hand and said with a smile:”I have admired you for a long time, Mr. Cameron..”
Cameron was flattered and shook his hand.
“Please take a seat.”
After shaking hands, Jiang Feng said with a smile.
“Thanks!”
Cameron sat down in front of him, looking a little reserved. Obviously at this time, he didn’t have the aura to look down on the world, let alone”Titanic”.》、《Movies such as”Avatar” gave him confidence.
At this time, facing Jiang Feng, a world-famous business giant, he really couldn’t think of anything other than being cautious.
Can’t blame him.
The people he usually interacts with are also people in the circle, at best, they are senior executives of entertainment companies, such as vice presidents or project managers.
He has never come into contact with the chairman of a giant Hollywood company like Kevin Tsujihara.
After all, if a big shot like this stomps his feet, the whole of Hollywood will tremble.
People who come into contact with people of Kevin Tsujihara’s level are basically at the top level in the circle.
Now, here comes a boss who is several levels higher than Kevin Tsujihara, and he actively invites him to join the development team. Do you think he can stop being nervous?
Jiang Feng smiled slightly, his eyes stayed on Cameron for a few seconds, then picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip, and said,”I heard that you plan to make a movie about shipwrecks? How about it? Find investors Is it done?”
Uh…
Cameron’s expression froze.
He didn’t expect Jiang Feng to ask about this matter.
I had just finished filming”True Lies” and I was taking advantage of the break to film a true story about love on a cruise that I had conceived a few years ago and put it on the big screen.
So he spent the last few months looking for investors.
Many investors were scared away by his budget.
Not everyone can afford a large-scale movie production worth 200 million US dollars.
Even the eight major Hollywood film companies dare not say they can afford it.
The cost of production is 200 million US dollars. This is still an estimate. It is common to see overruns in making movies. Add in the expenses such as publicity and distribution after the filming is completed, and it basically reaches 250 million or 300 million US dollars.
300 million US dollars, such a high cost, is equivalent to a global box office of only 780 million US dollars.
However, the current highest-grossing movie in the world is”Star Wars Episode 1″, with a global box office of US$775 million.
Just imagine that it would take 7 to 8 billion US dollars just to recover the capital.
If you want to make a profit, don’t you need 1 billion US dollars?
Is there any movie in the world with such a high box office?
Furthermore, even if there is a miracle and the box office reaches 1 billion US dollars, it is not worth it. According to the box office sharing, even if there is a box office of 1 billion US dollars in the world, it will only be about 400 million US dollars after sharing.
Spending 300 million U.S. dollars to transfer 100 million U.S. dollars, and also asking for a box office of 1 billion U.S. dollars.
Unless he is a fool, who has the courage to invest?
It was these that caused Cameron to run into obstacles everywhere, and no one was willing to invest.
At this time, I heard Jiang Feng ask.
A thought flashed through Cameron’s mind, could it be that the big boss in front of him is willing to invest?
Yes, that’s definitely the case.
Otherwise, why would this big guy treat himself to coffee?
The more I think about it, the more I realize this is true.
Suddenly, Cameron became excited.
Perhaps, after months of hitting a wall, things are finally turning around.
After thinking of this, Cameron looked at Jiang Feng differently. From the previous restraint, his eyes shone brightly.
“Mr. Jiang, your information is correct. I do plan to film a story about a shipwreck on the seabed. This is a true story that happened in the 1920s….”
When telling the story of Titanic, Cameron was very excited. At the end, he said:”Mr. Jiang, this is really a great story. If it can be filmed, it will definitely break the box office record of”Star Wars”. Become the global box office champion.”
It is indeed the box office champion.
A movie that has dominated the history of movie box office for more than ten years.
Although Jiang Feng did not remember the details of the box office of”Titanic”, he knew that the only thing that surpassed”Titanic” was Cameron’s other masterpiece”Avatar”!
The film earned $2.7 billion worldwide.
In any case, the equally famous”Titanic” has at least more than one billion US dollars.
He collected his thoughts.
Looking at Cameron who looked excited, Jiang Feng smiled slightly, nodded and said,”You are right, this story is indeed great. If you don’t mind, I plan to invest in this movie.”
Cameron That’s what I want.
After Jiang Feng finished speaking, Cameron hurriedly expressed his stance,”I don’t mind.”
“It’s an honor for me that Mr. Jiang is willing to invest. It’s too late for me to be happy, so why would I mind.”
Cameron spoke quickly, as if he was afraid that Jiang Feng would regret it.
Jiang Feng didn’t pay much attention to Cameron’s little thoughts. Instead, his face became solemn and he said slowly:”Mr. Cameron, tell the truth. Let me tell you, there are three main things I want to do with you this time.”
“The first is to invest in the shipwreck movie you just mentioned.”
“The second thing is that I want to acquire your special effects company – Digital Domain”
“Third, I hope you will join Warner Bros. Entertainment Group as a permanent co-director. Of course, in return, the company will give you 10% of the net box office profit of each movie. In addition, for the movies you propose, in principle, as long as the investment does not exceed 100 million US dollars, it doesn’t matter how many movies you make every year. The company will fully support it..”
Jiang Feng expressed his thoughts very straightforwardly.
His words made Cameron stunned.
Then, he thought about the three things Jiang Feng said.
Well.
The first one is fine, and it just solves the regret in his heart.
This The second point is to acquire the digital field, no problem.
This special effects company burns too much money.
It has only been established for less than a year, and it has already burned all its capital.
The third thing…
To be honest, he had some concerns.
It was obvious that he understood Jiang Feng’s intentions very clearly.
It is nothing more than wanting to tie him permanently to the chariot of Warner Bros. Entertainment Group.
This made Cameron a little unhappy.
But he didn’t show it.
On the contrary, Yi Nian said kindly:”The first two are fine, but I need to think about the third one before making a decision.”
After thinking about it, Cameron chose to speak to Jiang Feng in a tactful tone.
Jiang Feng smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes and said,”Don’t worry, when will you figure it out, when will we start this shipwreck movie project.”
Cameron:……
Looking at Jiang Feng with a smile on his face.
He really didn’t know what to say.
After a while, he said softly:”Mr. Jiang, what you said is too big. I need to think carefully before making a decision.”
“OK!”
Jiang Feng made a no-questions-asked gesture.
Then the two chatted about the movie for a while. It wasn’t until Yang Jianming came to remind him that there was still something else to do that the two ended their conversation.
