Chapter 198 "Home Alone"

"Mr. Zhao Chen, please come in quickly! The house is a little messy, please don't mind!"

James Cameron quickly opened the door and welcomed Zhao Chen into the room. As he said, his home was indeed quite messy and had not been cleaned for almost a few days. Of course, this is actually not a home, it is just a James Cameron's studio. After all, his wife and family are not here.

"Mr. Zhao Chen, you must have been waiting at the door for a long time, right?" James Cameron put a cup of coffee in front of Zhao Chen and then asked.

"It's not long, it's the same anywhere anyway!"

"I'm really sorry. I don't know that Mr. Zhao Chen is coming today, otherwise I will stay at home and clean up the sanitation as well!"

"Actually, I was negligent myself, you don't need to be sorry for this at all!"

After Zhao Chen finished saying this, the two became silent. Zhao Chen usually doesn't like to talk, and James Cameron was completely thinking about Zhao Chen's intention. In the end, it was James Cameron, the master, who was the first to say:

"Mr. Zhao Chen's name has been circulating in the United States these days. A few days ago, he also acquired a basketball team. I heard that Mr. Zhao Chen is also a cartoonist?"

"Yes, I'm interested!"

"I just don't know what happened to Mr. Zhao Chen came to me this time?" Americans really don't like to beat around the bush. James Cameron couldn't think of other words to deal with the scene for a while, so he had to directly talk about the key points.

"I have watched the movie directed by Mr. Cameron. I feel that Mr. Cameron has great potential, so I hope to cooperate with Mr. Cameron accordingly!"

After hearing Zhao Chen's words, James Cameron was obviously stunned for a moment, and his head couldn't turn around for a moment. He didn't expect that Zhao Chen came to him for this purpose.

"I wonder if I have anything to help?" This is the point. As long as it is not a bad job, James Cameron feels that his job is not too bad, and he can do it. After all, his life is not good now, especially material conditions.

Zhao Chen did not answer immediately, but took a sip of coffee before slowly taking out a bundle of paper from his bag and said, "Mr. Cameron. This is the script I wrote recently, you can take a look! If possible, I hope you can direct this movie!"

"Script?" James Cameron had no idea that Zhao Chen could write scripts. In fact, the movies written by Zhao Chen before were basically unable to enter the American film market. Even if they really entered, the box office would be relatively miserable. Therefore, it is purely normal for James Cameron to have never heard of them.

James Cameron resisted the doubts in his heart. As a result, the bundle of paper said "The Little Imperial"!

"Home Imperials", also known as "Baby Wisdom Star", was originally a Christmas movie launched by director Chris Columbus in 1990. It not only brought infinite happiness to the majority of movie enthusiasts, but also made this film the 29th-ranked total box office in American film history. It is the best comedy film in the United States in history. Surrounded by many science fiction blockbusters, the global box office of this film is 530 million US dollars, and it is also a series of movies. It can be said that as long as this film is released, the profit will naturally be much.

James Cameron actually looked a little contempt at the beginning. After all, Zhao Chen is a cartoonist and a pianist. How can he write a good script when his energy is distracted? But after a few glances, he realized that he was very wrong. This script called "Home Imperial" attracted his attention. Soon he became obsessed with the joy brought to him by the script. When he saw the exciting part, various funny scenes appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but smile on his face, and occasionally he couldn't help laughing. Some of the scenes inside were so funny.

After James Cameron put down the script, Zhao Chen finally asked: "How is it? Mr. Cameron!"

"Very... very good! I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao Chen also has such a good talent in script creation! If this movie comes out, it will definitely be popular with people, and the box office will probably not be low."

"I think so too, but if this movie is to be released, it's best to be screened on Christmas!"

"Mr. Zhao Chen, you are right. I can direct this movie, but I don't know who the investor of this movie is?" James Cameron has a unique vision. He believes that as long as the filming of "Home Imperials" is successful, it will likely be popular, and he can take this opportunity to get rid of his current situation.

"It's me! I wonder how much budget Mr. Cameron thinks he needs?" Speaking of budget, the original "Home Imperial" only cost 5 million US dollars. Of course, that's eight years later. In addition, the current US economic crisis has naturally lower budgets.

"It's about three or four million, and I need to calculate it in detail! If you want to hire those well-known actors, the budget will probably increase greatly!"

James Cameron calculated carefully. After all, this is a comedy scene, and it is easy to solve. He only needs to borrow a few houses or villas. There are not many actors and no special effects. Naturally, the budget is not high. Of course, the pay for well-known American actors is another matter. For each addition of a well-known actor, the budget will naturally increase greatly.

"Forget it, just find a pretty smart child actor and two second-rate actors who are used to playing clowns. You can watch the rest yourself. The budget can be increased, you just need to shoot him well, and you must shoot it before Christmas at the latest."

The movie "Home Imperial" has no well-known actors in its previous life. All of them are role actors. Because the budget is not high, but the box office that can get such a high level is naturally the funny script, followed by the director and the main actors.

"Mr. Zhao Chen can rest assured that this "Home Imperial" is not difficult, and it only takes about four or five months to complete!"

"That's good, Mr. Cameron, I heard you write the script yourself. If you have one, you can let me see it!" While talking, Zhao Chen suddenly remembered James Carnegie's famous work "Terminator", which was written by James Cameron himself.

"Nothing happened, there was no time at all!"

"Yes! Oh, by the way, I actually have a script at home. I will give it to you when you are ready in a few days. You will choose whether to direct or not, and I will still invest in it!"

Zhao Chen's eyes lit up. Although the box office of the movie "Terminator" is far less than that of "Home Imper", it has a considerable reputation and is also a series of movies. As long as these two classic movies are created, Zhao Chen's status in the United States or the whole world will be directly raised.

Moreover, the review of the film "Terminator" is also good. The most important thing is that the budget is not high. The action scenes, scenes, plot rhythms and other good things will push Cameron and Arnold's career to a new level in the future. Arnold gives people the impression of a real robot with no expression on his face, making people feel that nothing can stop him, making the atmosphere of the film always shrouded in "despair" from beginning to end, exuding a kind of

It makes people feel scary. Connor's mother, from an originally fragile woman to a strong transformation, embodies feminism. "Terminator" has become a long-lasting blockbuster film with a fast-paced and compact plot. The stunt shots in the film reflect the future color of the film, heralding the direction of the development of science fiction movies since then, and is impressive. The unique techniques have strong competition in the emergence of science fiction films.

It is also one of the best science fiction films in recent decades, a talented B-level film. This film was released in 1,112 theaters in North America, with a cumulative global box office of nearly 80 million US dollars, of which nearly 40 million US dollars in the United States. It can be said that it is also a very profitable film.

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhao Chen!" James Cameron's eyes lit up, but his heart was full of excitement. He didn't expect that he was so lucky. Zhao Chen not only took the initiative to find him, but also brought a good script and directed it by him. But he didn't expect that there would be surprises later. How could he not make him very happy and he suddenly regarded Zhao Chen as his mentor.

"Next, let's talk about Mr. Cameron's reward first!"

After all, James Cameron has only directed a movie, and is considered a new director. The reward is not high, only 100,000 US dollars. As for the actors of "Home Imposses", you can go to the Actors Association or Warner Bros. Entertainment, and I believe you will always find a suitable actor.

Zhao Chen continued to stay in the United States for half a month, and after everything was ready, he returned to the island country.
