Yue Guan, who had no idea that he had become a 50-50 target, forgot about it after the phone call ended.
In the previous life, the king of the Spring Festival stalls this time was Zhou Xingchi's "Mermaid".
The next ones are "Journey to the West Part 3: Fighting the Bone Demon" and "Omen Storm 3".
But in this life, "Mermaid" was produced in advance by Yue Guan, and Zhou Xingchi did not participate in this year's Spring Festival show.
And Wang Jing currently has a lot of movies in his hands, and he hasn't even filmed "Omen" yet, let alone "Omen 3".
Therefore, "Fengshen" II is truly invincible.
A mere "Journey to the West: Three Fights against the Bone Demon". Although the IP value and popularity of "Journey to the West" exceed that of "Feng Shen Bang", "Journey to the West: Three Fight against the Bone Demon" does not have much appeal to the audience.
If you talk about the White Bone Demon again, the deep-rooted impression of the audience is still the guy who was beaten to death by Sun Wukong with a stick.
The leading actors Gong Li and Guo Tianwang are quite high in status and style.
But that's all.
Compared with their ability to handle the box office, the two of them combined are not as good as Yue Guan.
Yue Guan really doesn't think "Journey to the West: Part 3: Fighting the Bone Demon" can pose any threat.
The only opponent in "Feng Shen" 2 is actually himself at this time.
So, be yourself, and then just let nature take its course.
After the premiere, the second crew of "Feng Shen" did not stop showing the movie.
Instead, he chose to go full throttle and continue to watch.
Since we are confident in the quality of the movie, of course we have to take the word-of-mouth route.
However, Yue Guan, who has been promoting with Liu Yifei, was not present at one of the screenings.
Not only Yue Guan did not arrive, but also director Wu Ershan did not arrive.
Chen Kun was surprised.
"Qian Qian, do you know where Yue Guan and Wu Dao have gone?" Chen Kun asked.
Liu Yifei nodded: "I'm going to pick someone up."
Yue Guan mentioned this matter to her last night when he was practicing immortality.
Chen Kun was very surprised: "Both Yue Guan and Wu Dao have gone to pick up someone? Who is it? With such a big reputation?"
Liu Yifei said: "Cameron."
Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming exclaimed at the same time: "Who?"
Liu Yifei guessed their reaction and said calmly: "James Francis Cameron."
Chen Kun: "..."
Huang Xiaoming: “…”
The two looked at each other in shock, both digesting this shocking information.
"Why is James Cameron here?" Both of them were puzzled.
"It should be that Yue Guan wants to discuss cooperation with him and ask him to promote our drama." Liu Yifei said.
Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming, who had never seen the world before, were shocked again.
They didn't know that Wu Ershan was actually not much better than the two of them.
Airport.
Yue Guan and Wu Ershan were sitting in the car, waiting for the arrival of James Cameron.
Wu Ershan's restlessness attracted Yue Guan's attention.
"Director Wu, is there something under your butt?" Yue Guan asked.
Wu Ershan: "...Nothing. I'm just going to see my idol soon. I'm very excited."
"Director Wu, are you still chasing stars at such an old age?"
"Others don't need to chase, but Card God, this is Card God." Wu Ershan was a little excited: "I didn't expect that one day, Card God would be able to invite Card God to watch the movie I made."
He looks like a little fanboy.
Yue Guan has always been admired by others, but Yue Guan has never worshiped others crazily, so it is difficult for him to understand Wu Ershan's excitement.
"Director Wu, are you okay?"
"You don't understand, Kashen is the common idol of directors of our generation. He has been sharpening his sword for ten years. First, he set a global box office record with "Titanic", and then broke his own box office record with "Avatar". This kind of god Is there any other director in the world who can achieve the same achievement?" Wu Ershan praised.
Yue Guan shook his head: "James Cameron is really great in this aspect."
Although the output is not high, it is the king of attack, and it is indeed convinced.
If there was a director of James Cameron's caliber in China, he would be famous in the sky.
However, Yue Guan still didn't expect that Wu Ershan, an adult, would be as fanatical as a young man.
The two chatted casually, mainly about Wu Ershan's power in popular science James Cameron, and Yue Guan casually agreed.
James Cameron is indeed strong.
Otherwise, Yue Guan would not specially invite him to the Dragon Kingdom.
However, admiration comes from admiration. Yue Guan would definitely not worship him as crazily as Wu Ershan.
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the car door.
Yue Guan and Wu Ershan opened the car door and saw a foreigner wearing a mask in front of them.
Wu Ershan's eyes lit up, he walked forward quickly and stretched out his hands directly: "Hello Kashen, I am Wu Ershan, your loyal fan."
Yue Guan shook his head.
Licking the dog.
Carefully lick until there is nothing left.
After Wu Ershan and James Cameron got to know each other, Yue Guan stepped forward and shook hands with James Cameron.
But before he could say hello to Cameron, Cameron greeted him first: "King, it's nice to meet you. I'm very interested in your proposal."
Yue Guan smiled: "That's my honor, James, let's get in the car first and chat in the car."
"certainly."
James Cameron got into the car with Yue Guan and Wu Ershan.
Then he continued to look at Yue Guan with expectant eyes.
"King, do you really have the rights to film and television adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem"?"
Yue Guan nodded: "It was originally in another company, but it was bought by our company."
"That would be great. If "The Three-Body Problem" can be made into a movie, it will be very spectacular." James Cameron's eyes were full of yearning.
+1 for book fans of "The Three-Body Problem".
This drama really attracts fans.
James Cameron is also a fan of "The Three-Body Problem" and has publicly commented on the difficulty of turning "The Three-Body Problem" into a film.
Earlier in the Royal Auditorium, the boss said that he hoped that the rights to adapt "The Three-Body Problem" would be with Miracle Company.
So Li Ruotong secured the company that bought the film and television adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" and prepared Miracle Company to start making the film and television version of "The Three-Body Problem" on its own.
Then Yue Guan contacted James Cameron.
There is no director in China who can make "The Three-Body Problem" well... Yue Guan is not sure if there is one.
Guo Fan's "The Wandering Earth" was very well shot, and he is definitely a suitable choice.
But if there's a chance to choose James Cameron, why not
This is not admiration for foreigners, this is a very simple multiple-choice question.
After receiving the contact from Miracle Company, James Cameron expressed great interest and flew directly to China today to have an interview with Yue Guan.
Of course we couldn't talk much in the car.
Yue Guan directly brought James Cameron to Miracle Company.
When James Cameron came to Dragon Country this time, he brought an assistant and a part-time translator with him. He should be someone he trusted very much.
It was obvious that he was also a resolute person. As soon as he sat down, he asked about business: "King, when are you going to make "The Three-Body Problem" into a film and TV show?"
"It's not determined yet. I probably won't be able to make time in a short time."
He probably won't have time to film "The Three-Body Problem" within two years.
And since this world-famous IP is in his hands, Yue Guan certainly doesn't want to let it go.
Wouldn't it be nice to play Luo Ji, a swordsman
Yue Guan thought that James Cameron would be disappointed after he said that he would not launch the film and television plan for "The Three-Body Problem" in the short term.
But to his surprise, James Cameron also breathed a sigh of relief and looked a little surprised: "That's good, I don't have time in the short term, but I am really interested in this project."
"You don't have time either? What are you busy with recently?"
It has been so many years since you finished filming "Avatar", but I haven't seen you release a new work.
James Cameron explained: "'Avatar' also has a sequel, and I have been working on a sequel to 'Avatar'."
"Where's the progress?"
"Still doing it." James Cameron said.
Wu Ershan: "..."
Yue Guan: "..."
"Avatar" was released in 2009.
According to the Gregorian calendar, this year is already 2016.
It took 7 years to complete a sequel.
Yue Guan confirmed that no matter how good this kind of director is, it is not cost-effective for an entertainment company and is far inferior to the prolific Spielberg.
The high box office of a single film is really impressive, but it cannot be sustained for a long time and the return on investment is low.
Invest in a James Cameron movie and it might take you ten years to recoup your investment.
Although you can earn back many times.
But in the past ten years, inflation has increased exponentially.
If you use that money to invest in other fields, you might make more money.
Therefore, James Cameron is indeed famous, but when it comes to cooperation, he is really not a good partner.
Yue Guan knew that in his previous life, before he traveled through time, James Cameron's "Avatar 2" had not yet been released. Just like Teacher Six's "Journey to the West" co-produced by Dragon and Chou, it only blossomed but did not bear fruit.
"Kashen, you really strive for excellence when making movies. No wonder you break the box office record every time you make a movie." Yue Guankou complimented half-heartedly.
James Cameron was not familiar with Yue Guan, so he didn't know that Yue Guan was pretending to be polite. He really thought that Yue Guan was praising him, so he grinned happily.
As long as you are a human being, there is no one who does not like compliments.
There is no doubt that he is human.
After confirming that James Cameron had no time in the past two years and that he himself had no time, Yue Guan directly gave up the idea of continuing to contact him.
At least I gave up for a short time.
Whether he should revive this idea in the future when he frees up time will be discussed at that time.
Yue Guan glanced at Wu Ershan.
Wu Ershan immediately understood what Yue Guan meant, rubbed his hands, and Wu Ershan said sheepishly: "Kashen, I made a movie and it is being screened now. Do you want to go and watch it together? "
"Of course, I have seen the first part of "Apotheosis of the Gods" that you filmed. The special effects were very good." James Cameron praised.
His words surprised both Wu Ershan and Yue Guan.
Wu Ershan asked in surprise: "Have you seen the first part of "Fengshen"?"
"Yes, the filming is very good. The Eastern mythology is amazing, and your special effects are making rapid progress."
Yue Guan soon discovered that there was praise in James Cameron's voice, but there was no exclamation.
He was praising in a condescending manner.
This is also normal.
After all, he is recognized as the number one person in the world when it comes to special effects.
The first part of "Fengshen" did not require too many special effects, so it only showed the world's top level, not the level of "Avatar" that was one level behind the second place.
For James Cameron, this level is really nothing to marvel at.
However, when James Cameron watched "Apotheosis of the Gods" II, he was completely confused.
"Oh my God!"
"Can't believe it."
"King, how did you do it? Why are the special effects so good?"
"This is the level I am pursuing for "Avatar 2", but the existing technology has never met my requirements, so I have not completed the production of "Avatar 2"."
"That's amazing, King, who did your special effects?" James Francis Cameron's mouth began to output like a machine gun.
His face turned red, and he was obviously greatly irritated.
Yue Guan and Wu Ershan looked at each other and smiled at the corners of their mouths.
Stable.
Official certification from James Cameron.
The second wave of "Fengshen" is really hard to imagine whether it will be popular or not.
Yue Guan did not hide the news that James Cameron came to the Dragon Kingdom from the outside world.
So James Cameron was quickly surrounded by reporters and accepted an interview with reporters, expressing his love and shock for "Fengshen" 2.
"This is an epoch-making movie."
"My "Avatar 2" was never completed because it did not reach such a technical level. I didn't expect that on the other side of the ocean, special effects technology has developed to this level."
"Fengshen II will definitely shock the world. The special effects technology of this movie is at least five years ahead of Hollywood."
When these words of James Francis Cameron spread, all netizens collectively went crazy.
"If people from the Dragon Kingdom still don't believe it when they play "Fengshen" II, Cameron has started to do it. There is really no reason not to believe it."
"Kashen personally certified that the special effects technology of "Fengshen" II actually surpassed Hollywood by five years. Ward Tian, I will offer you 1,000 yuan, whoever has the tickets to screen it, I really want to see it now."
"If you have the nerve to come out and grab it for 1,000 yuan, I'll pay you 2,000 yuan."
"Go ahead and grab it, I can't wait until the Spring Festival."
"I really didn't expect that this time our country's special effects company would actually lead the revolution in special effects technology. I'm so proud."
The number of people wanting to watch "Fengshen" 2 on the ticket purchase website has doubled.
Pre-sale box office - tripled the original record.
Everyone is looking forward to the first day of the Lunar New Year and the official large-scale release of "Feng Shen" 2.
And the first day of the Lunar New Year has arrived as scheduled.
