Chapter 781 Is the investment of 80 million dollars in a drama much? (page 1/1)
"This sequel will far exceed the predecessor. The characters are full, the theme is profound, and the content is rich. If the special effects are done well, this film will be an epoch-making science fiction masterpiece. "Almost at the same time as Schwarzenegger, James Cameron also received an invitation to shoot.
However, only the story outline is different from Schwarzenegger's agent. Cameron got the complete script.
Because this script was written by Qiao Feng through extensive communication with Cameron.
For Kashen, Qiao Feng has given great respect.
Although it was the plagiarism of Kashen's work, Qiao Feng did not occupy the honor alone, but got Cameron to write the script together.
One is out of respect for Kashen, and the other is that many of the latest special effects and models are used in this movie. Qiao Feng needs Cameron to have an in-depth understanding from the screenwriting stage and have a shooting plan in advance. Then it will be smoother.
After all, this is not the same as the first one. The first one is a script written by Cameron himself, so he is familiar with all the links and the effect he wants to achieve.
Qiao Feng gave respect, and Kashen also expressed great recognition and high evaluation for the story frame and the details inside Qiao Feng.
Speaking of Qiao Feng, he had no choice. He wanted to shoot Terminator 2. He was afraid that Cameron didn’t have this idea yet. After asking Cameron that he did not have a clear plan, Qiao Feng had to write the script himself. come out.
You must know that Kashen is a super ink-type director. When he takes the initiative to shoot, he will have to wait a year.
Take the first Terminator as an example. According to Cameron, it was an idea that had existed in 1979.
In 1979, James Cameron was not yet called Kashen.
One day, when his career was at a slump, he had a dream-a metal man walked out of the raging fire, his skin was burned, revealing his ferocious steel face.
With this dream as a starting point, Cameron completed the script.
The movie was released in 1984, and the box office was $90 million at a cost of $6 million. Movie fans and critics cheered.
The name of this movie is "Terminator".
In five years, Kashen only made such a script and a movie wholeheartedly, and then it became a hit.
Unlike other popular directors who work non-stop and overtime to shoot more new films, Kashen has only made two films in six years and wrote three scripts, two of which were made by him. , Kashen actually produced three works in six years, an average of one in two years.
This span, let alone Hong Kong, which has made several films a year, is considered a very low-yield director in Hollywood.
And now another year has passed since the abyss of the last work of Card God.
Terminator 2 is finally on the shooting schedule.
"Cameron's investment requirement for this drama is 80 million U.S. dollars. Is this investment too big?" After Qiao Feng hung up Cameron's call, Lizhi on the side asked a little worriedly.
She thinks that Terminator 2 can have 30 to 40 million, which is at most more than the investment of the 007 murder license.
Then she felt that the investment was too great, and she wanted Qiao Feng to be more cautious.
As a result, Cameron called and praised the script for a long time and unexpectedly put forward an investment request that far exceeded her expected investment amount.
Li Zhi listened to the side and didn't choke to death.
This guy is too dare to ask.
Now that Hollywood has invested 30 to 40 million US dollars, that would be a super big production. With an investment of 80 million US dollars, is Cameron going to make a movie that has no one before, no one at the box office, and kills all other movies at the box office?
No, such investment requirements are too much.
Lizhi thinks Cameron must be crazy, and she must stop Qiao Feng.
Who knows, after hearing Lizhi's questioning, Qiao Feng smiled indifferently, as if he didn't feel like opening a mouth to Cameron's lion.
of course,
Even if he is worth more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, the investment of nearly 100 million U.S. dollars is still not a small amount.
It's just that Qiao Feng believes in Cameron, just as he believes that with the advantage of the reborn, he will stand on top of the world.
He is confident.
Because Cameron is the God of Cards, and because the estimated investment of $80 million in the movie is called Terminator 2.
Terminator 2 is one of Qiao Feng’s most memorable Terminator series, and even the original time-space contact Terminator series started with this Terminator 2 Doomsday Judgment.
At that time, Qiao Feng was completely confused when he watched Terminator 2.
It's like a brief deafness after the explosion, with only a buzzing sound.
Qiao Feng felt that this film may have established the concept of an American blockbuster for the first time in the history of many people.
People in those days have not seen much of the world.
What is an American blockbuster?
It's the kind of film that can make you "fuck!" "Fuck!"
Frankly speaking, this feeling has been long gone.
Thirty years later, the Hollywood movie special effects upgrade, the industry is complete, the division of labor is precise, and standard and qualified FMCG products are still being mass produced.
But how long have people not felt the suffocation of being manipulated by the movie god?
For people thirty years later, that feeling has been a long time.
And even if Terminator 2 is placed thirty years later, it will still exist like a god.
Timeless record.
When it came out, the first film in film history with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars also came out.
Kashen is indeed the record maker.
A big bet that won the global box office of 500 million US dollars, 30 years later, is still the most profitable part of the series.
When Kashen was about to start filming "Terminator 6" thirty years later, he chose to follow the plot of "Terminator 2" and directly ignored the next few sequels.
For Kashen, "Terminator 2" is undoubtedly the one worthy of "continuation".
Because Terminator 2 has an outdated mind.
A doomsday trial set off by artificial intelligence.
The "Skynet", an intelligent missile defense system developed by the United States, generates self-awareness and regards all human beings as a threat.
It fired a nuclear bomb at Russia, triggering a nuclear war, and 3 billion people were killed that day.
In order to grasp the right to write history, the "future" sent two robots to the "now" to murder and protect the little boy John Connor, because he will become a human leader when he grows up.
Artificial intelligence, nuclear war, time travel... Thirty years later, they are still hot topics in science fiction films.
As for Kashen's ink, he does ink, this is indisputable. No one can say that Kashen is an efficient director.
But Kashen's ink has the principle of ink. The films he shoots can create a history almost every time, which even Spielberg can't do.
