Chapter 408 The next goal

"Little guy, what do you want to drink?"

Entering the office, James Cameron made black tea by himself. After serving Ryan and George, he asked Taylor who was sitting next to Ryan, "Juice or black tea?"

"No." Taylor shook his head, jumped off the sofa, and waved to George, "You must talk about work. It's boring and boring, and it needs to be kept confidential. I'd better go out with George."

Then she grimaced at Ryan, "Don't think I don't know, you all think I'm a big mouth like Scar."

"Naughty." Ryan rubbed her head docilely and reminded, "Don't make trouble."

After George took her out, Ryan and James Cameron talked about the main thing while tasting the black tea.

"I have a lot of ideas for new cameras," said James Cameron, who is doing recently. "I have reached an agreement with Sony to entrust them with new photography equipment to turn my ideas into reality."

James Cameron is indeed full of imagination, but to turn these ideas into reality, it not only requires funds, but also the strong support of relevant manufacturers.

"How is the progress?" Ryan asked with concern.

"The first batch of products will be delivered after the New Year. I will use them to shoot a deep-sea documentary to experiment with the actual effect of the equipment." James Cameron made a reassuring gesture to Ryan and said confidently, "I promise that your investment will not be wasted."

"Come on, Jim." Ryan spread his hands indifferently, "We don't need to say such things."

"What about the acquisition manufacturer? Have you not determined the target yet?" Ryan remembered the name he saw on the company's statement some time ago and couldn't help but say, "In fact, I have a very good target."

James Cameron immediately thought of the company that was lobbying for major Hollywood film companies and asked tentatively, "It's not the company in Canada, right?"

"What about your goal?" Ryan did not answer and asked a question.

"I think 3D and Imax will lead the future movie trend." James Cameron's words couldn't be more obvious.

"Wow, Jim, we really have a tacit understanding."

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, James Cameron protest came, "You can't say that, it will cause misunderstandings. Ryan, I know that your sexual orientation is normal, and I'm not a gay either!"

Some things have some clues in the eyes of some old friends, but before the parties involved choose to make it public, they all remain silent tacitly.

James Cameron walked back to his desk, retrieved a pile of information about IMAX, and handed it to Ryan.

IMAX is headquartered in Toronto, Canada and is currently a Nasdaq listed company. Ryan still remembers that in 1997, the company won the Oscar for its film technology achievements.

This company is the owner of IMAX technology and related equipment. It is mainly committed to the research and development of film and digital technology. Its core patents include 3D technology, post-production and projection technology. Its business scope includes the design, leasing, sales, repair and operation of IMAX cinema and projection systems. The shooting, production and distribution of IMAX format videos, the development and production of cameras and projectors.

In other words, this is a very worthy acquisition target.

Although the imax technology was born decades ago, there are a few imax theaters in North America. However, this film technology is now more used in planetariums and natural museums, and there are very few theaters that are willing to use.

Huge early investment restricted the development of this technology. After entering the 1990s, although several imax movies appeared in Hollywood, it did not exchange for the revenue it had. Now there are almost no companies that are willing to spend huge amounts of money to make imax movies.

The inability to completely open the door to Hollywood means a shrinking business. In fact, since its establishment, IMAX has not grown and grown, and it is just an inconspicuous small listed company on Nasdaq.

Ryan met the name of the company from a document about "The Matrix" by Julius. They have sent a large number of business personnel to lobby at major Hollywood film companies, hoping to open the door that has always exposed a gap to them. Film companies like Jenkins Pictures that have continuously invested in large productions in recent years are naturally one of their targets of lobbying.

Their goal is the Matrix, which has had a huge influence this year. Since the Wachowski brothers have started the second post-production, Imax has tried hard to lobby Jenkins Films' senior executives to turn the third imax of the Matrix.

This matter ended up with Ryan's side, and he temporarily suppressed it. After all, the third part will not start post-production until the second part is released next year, so there is no hurry.

It was also because of this that he came to the TV series production area of ​​Fox set after the meeting to meet James Cameron.

The current IMAX company is a bit like Pixar Studio before the release of "Toy Story". As long as there is a suitable opportunity, it can soar into the sky.

And Ryan, a theater worker in his previous life, certainly knows what kind of development will be achieved in the future of 3D and IMAX.

The truck driver on the opposite side played a crucial role in promoting these two technologies. In his previous life, he not only cooperated with IMAX, but also mastered the core patents of the new 3D movie.

"Ryan, since our goals are consistent..."

James Cameron said bluntly, "I need financial support!"

Although he has a considerable net worth, he is still not enough to face a listed company.

"Jim, I will ask Scott Swift to cooperate with your work, whether it is funds or manpower." Ryan certainly would not hesitate. The current IMAX company is not very eye-catching. At most, it will attract more people's attention in three to five years.

"You are indeed the best partner." James Cameron laughed.

"I believe in your eyes, Jim." Ryan sipped his coffee slowly and said casually, "You will lead this project, and you can talk about where you need it."

"Then I'm not polite."

James Cameron's words made Ryan see Taylor Swift with a bearded man. Sure enough, the truck driver was not polite at all, "When you came in, you should have met the heroine, right? Help her find a suitable role in the movie."

If it weren't for knowing that James Cameron and Jessica Alba's family were indeed related, Ryan would have doubted whether this guy had changed his taste.

After all, this is a small problem. After so many years of friendship with James Cameron, he will be a partner who will be entangled with interests in the future.

After thinking about it, Ryan spoke. "Okay, Jim..."

Seeing that James Cameron was about to speak again, Ryan waved his hand and interrupted, "You don't want to ask for a role for that Catherine Isabel, right?"

"Come on, Ryan, I just want to say thank you!" Cameron grabbed his beard with dissatisfaction.

"Wow, it's rare. The tyrant on the set will thank people." Ryan said seriously after the exaggerated joke. "Since you think this Miss Jessica Alba has potential, I'll give her a chance to be the protagonist."

"Scream 3" has been filmed, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will be released next year. No matter what, Ryan will not let Charlize Theron continue to star in this series, and he always has to change to a suitable vase. Miss Jessica Alba is a very good candidate. Anyway, she can only be a vase, so let her take over the South African American Diamond.

Moreover, the heroine is not her own. You can also enlarge the scale. You can use all the means that R-level movies can attract people.

Miss Jessica Alba is gradually developing and experiencing her figure.

In just a short moment, Ryan thought of how to maximize his interests. It can be said that there is a huge gap in his attitude towards friends and non-friends.

"Do you need me to let her in and thank you?" James Cameron knew that Ryan had always kept his promise in this regard, and he would definitely do it when he said that.

"No need." Ryan waved his hand, "The movie is a sequel to "Scream". There is still some time before filming. You can ask Miss Alba if she is not interested..."

"She will definitely agree."

In North America, the gap between TV stars and movie stars is very big. Unless she is Jennifer Aniston, she will definitely not reject such an opportunity.

Besides, even a recognized American sweetheart like Jennifer Aniston wants to further develop on the big screen, but cannot find a suitable opportunity.

After finalizing some cooperation matters, Ryan and James Cameron left the office. In the photography area, Taylor was playing with Miss Alba, as if practicing her fists and feet.

Of course, the little girl's talent in this area is far from music, and she always fails to master the balance and falls on a thick mat.

"Alison, we should leave." Ryan shouted to the other side.

"It's coming."

Taylor jumped off the mat, retrieved the bag from George's hand, and ran back quickly.

"That's it, Jim." Ryan waved his hand to James Cameron who sent them out, "I'll ask Scott to contact you as soon as possible."

"Goodbye, Director Cameron." After getting on the electric car, Taylor also waved politely.

Sitting on the moving electric car, Ryan took out the tissue, wiped off a few drops of sweat from the little girl's forehead, and asked, "Are you having fun?"

"It's OK. Jessica is quite interesting. She asked me to come out to play together in the future." Taylor wrinkled his small nose, "She looks so sweet when she smiles."

"It's just that people are not very beautiful." She added.

"None of you is as beautiful as you, my dear." Ryan carefully helped the little girl sort out her scattered blonde hair. (To be continued...)
