Chapter 240 When the mad boss meets the mad director
Chapter 240 When a Crazy Boss Meets a Crazy Director
Zhang Yi has not yet left for the United States. "True Lies" directed by Cameron has finished filming, and he immediately came to Hong Kong... because the post-production special effects of "True Lies" were completed by Zhang Yi's Jiying Special Effects.
The filming time of "True Lies" was much longer than that of Zhang Yi's "Resident Evil" sequel, but when I think about Cameron's always striving for perfection, I feel relieved.
"Mr. Cameron, after this movie, do you have any other plans?" Zhang Yi glanced at Cameron in front of him, smiled, and asked.
Cameron glanced at Zhang Yi, and his eyes lit up. This young guy was never vague about investing in movies. "True Lies" spent 100 million US dollars without blinking an eye.
Like other movie company bosses, they are very stingy.
"No!" Cameron shook his head and said to Zhang Yi, "I wonder if Mr. Zhang has any suggestions?"
"I had a few strange dreams a few days ago, and now I still feel scared when I think about them." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"How many dreams? I don't know what kind of dreams?" Cameron asked curiously. Did he know that Zhang Yi wouldn't talk to him about any dreams?
Dreams, Cameron has an indissoluble bond with dreams. His first and most famous film "Terminator" was inspired by one of his dreams.
"The reason why the dreams were strange was that they were very similar. In the dreams, I was flying to the United States, but was hijacked by terrorists. The difference was that in some dreams, I resisted, but the plane crashed. I woke up afterwards.
But in some dreams, I didn’t resist, but I didn’t expect that the terrorists who hijacked the plane were lunatics and actually hijacked the plane and committed suicide." Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"suicide?"
When Cameron heard this, he was a little confused and frowned and looked at Zhang Yi.
"Suicide terrorist attack!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Suicide terrorist attack?" Cameron seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhang Yi.
"Mr. Cameron, I don't know if there is a landmark building in New York. Well, it seems to be called the World Trade Center, or the World Trade Center. The Twin Towers are very tall. Those madmen actually hijacked the building and knocked it down. Of course.
, this is just one of those dreams, just like in my previous dream of resisting and causing the plane to crash, those terrorists were said to have hijacked civil aviation and crashed into the White House, the Pentagon, etc." Zhang Yi said with a smile.
When Cameron heard this, he looked at Zhang Yi in shock. He was sure that this was not Zhang Yi's dream, but his idea. Did this crazy guy want to make a movie about hijacking civil aviation and crashing into the World Trade Center?
Building, hitting the White House, hitting the Pentagon movie?
That must be it! Madman, this guy must be a madman. But, I like it.
When Cameron heard this, he naturally knew Zhang Yi's purpose in telling him this. A faint green light emitted from his eyes, revealing a fiery passion.
Among the lies in "True Lies", it's like blowing up a bridge or something. Compared with this, it's simply weak.
This is naturally not Zhang Yi's dream, nor is it Zhang Yi's idea. It is something that really happened in the 21st century.
The 911 incident, this horrific incident that shocked the entire world, definitely has great filming value.
Moreover, nowadays, those movies about capturing the White House and killing the president have not appeared so frequently or even before. If this thing is really filmed, it is absolutely unimaginable how big a sensation it will cause. Moreover, no matter it is
Crash the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, or the White House, what kind of visual effect will it have?
For Cameron, who is extremely passionate about the shocking visual effects, this is a huge temptation. A temptation that makes people's blood boil just thinking about it.
"Zhang, does Mr. Zhang want to adapt these dreams of yours into movies?" Cameron asked excitedly.
"I think about it! Unfortunately, I don't have the time to perfect the script. You know, this script involves all aspects. If you want to make the film rigorous, you can't take it for granted and let things become coincidences as a reasonable surname for the plot. If you want to make the film scary,
If elements hijack civil aviation to carry out suicide terrorist attacks, they must start from the loopholes in U.S. aviation defenses. Especially if they hit the Pentagon or the White House. If there is no opportunity to take advantage of it, they may have been discovered before they hit it. Of course.
, Even if there is no loophole, we still have to create a loophole." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
Cameron listened and nodded. He now understood why Zhang Yi told him this, obviously because he wanted him to complete the script.
The reasonable surname of the story is undoubtedly a difficulty. If you want to overcome it, you must consult a large amount of information and ask a large number of experts. There are indeed too many aspects involved. Even if a plane hits a building, how the building collapses needs to be deduced. You cannot think
Why should it collapse like this? If it collapses, it must be reasonable.
How the U.S. government will react after this incident needs to be speculated.
"Mr. Zhang wants me to perfect this script?" Cameron looked at Zhang Yi and asked immediately.
"That's right. I believe in Mr. Cameron's screenwriting ability!" Zhang Yi nodded and said immediately.
"Once the script is written, who will direct it?" Cameron looked at Zhang Yi and asked.
"Of course it's you!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"You invest?" Cameron asked again.
"I invest." Zhang Yi nodded and said.
"How much are you planning to invest?" Cameron Q&A.
"That depends on how Mr. Cameron writes the script." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"No matter how this script is written, the investment cannot be less than 100 million US dollars. If it is less than 100 million US dollars, it is okay not to write the script." Cameron narrowed his eyes and then looked at Zhang Yi.
"One hundred million U.S. dollars? I can get this amount of money." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
This amount of money? When Cameron heard this, his mouth twitched, but he was relieved immediately. He knew that the young man in front of him was a very rich man. Not to mention his other industries, even movies, he made more than 100,000 yuan last year.
"That little money"!
"Okay! I'll take over this matter." Cameron nodded and said immediately.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance." Zhang Yi smiled, then looked at Cameron, and continued, "If this movie does not lose money, I will invest no less than 200 million US dollars in Mr. Cameron's movie.
movie."
"No less than 200 million U.S. dollars!" Upon hearing this, Cameron's hands shook a few times, and he looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise and said, "What movie? The investment is no less than 200 million U.S. dollars?"
An investment of US$200 million is undoubtedly the highest investment in a film to date.
"Haha, I have already written the script, about a disaster movie about a shipwreck." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Which story is it?" Cameron's eyes widened and he looked impatient, but he suppressed it instantly.
"You must keep your word." Cameron looked at Zhang Yi and said excitedly.
"I, Zhang Yi, will naturally keep my word." Zhang Yi nodded and said.
When I came to the United States, I discussed this matter with Barry Diller. After all, he was not only the president of his own film company, but also a famous producer with an extremely unique vision for the film.
"Boss, isn't this a bit hasty? "True Lies" has not yet been released, and it remains to be seen whether Cameron can handle such a large investment. Now you not only allow him a film with an investment of hundreds of millions, but also allow him
A film with an investment of 200 million." Barry Diller frowned and said...
"Haha, trust my vision." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Besides, if he can direct that 200 million US dollar movie, doesn't he have to watch the movie he wrote himself? Don't you think that movie
No photography value?”
Upon hearing this, Barry Diller had to admit that the story Zhang Yi asked Cameron to adapt did have great filming value.
"You just said that the $200 million script has been written?" Barry Diller suddenly asked.
"I wrote a few scripts, take a look." Zhang Yi nodded, then took the scripts from Lin Xiao and handed them to Barry Diller.
Barry Diller looked at Zhang Yi, a little curious and a little expectant. He knew that his boss was a very talented screenwriter.
""Titanic", "The Mummy", "The Shawshank Redemption"! Well, this is actually Stephen King's novel "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" (published when it was not found, the time
