Chapter 801 Fund Burner 【Subscription】
Looking at the back of Cameron walking into the screening room, Damon finally couldn't help but wonder: "Lin, why did you reject him? This is James Cameron! Leonardo is relying on "Titanic" , became the world's top superstar! No one should turn down his invitation."
Lin Long shook his head and didn't answer Damon's question. After all, he couldn't tell Damon that the movie "Avatar" was good everywhere, but it didn't give any bonus to the actors, just like the male lead in the "Transformers" series Not worth the same.
The real first male, second male, third male to male number 10 of the Transformers series are all robots, and it is difficult for human characters to shine.
As for "Avatar", the big guys also went to see the beautiful scene, the visual experience beyond the times and the blue aliens.
Playing a human role in it? Not only is it impossible to get any awards, but it also leaves no-impression at all.
Even Lin Long felt that Cameron just wanted to hype himself.
"Marvel's new boss to star in Cameron's new film.
As soon as this title is released, it can add countless attention and heat to the film! Also, Cameron's purpose at the beginning is to make Lin Long play a small role in order to achieve a free publicity in the early stage. Effect.
Lin Long has even come up with the headlines for all the media tonight.
"A powerful alliance! The wonderful alliance between the king of commercial films and the boss of Marvel!"
"Shocked! Someone Rejects Cameron's Movie Actor!"
"Official announcement of cooperation! Hollywood upstart Lin Long will appear in Cameron's new movie!"
This old man is just here for free publicity, it's broken!
Thinking of publicity, Lin Long suddenly thought of another nickname for Cameron besides the truck driver.
Expense burner.
When Cameron makes a movie, there is no budget that does not exceed the standard, and it is not an ordinary excessive, but the more addictive, the more surpassed.
The earlier "Terminator" and "Heterosexual" series can still be closed a little, and the part that exceeds the amount is acceptable to the investor, but when "True Lies" began in the 1990s, his over-budget has already begun to lead to a bottomless pit. direction has advanced.
The most exaggerated "Titanic", Cameron went to 20th Century Fox for an investment at the beginning, and only asked for 80 million US dollars, and even said that there is no way to spend it, 20th Century Fox just approved 8,000. Wan gave Cameron, but it turned out that Cameron had spent more than 40 million yuan before the film started.
The people at 20th Century Fox were so frightened that they nearly wet their pants and felt like they had fallen into a bottomless abyss. They immediately realized that something was wrong, and began to ask their grandfather to tell their grandma to find someone else to invest together. In the end, Paramount was successfully fooled by them and added an additional $65 million in investment.
result...
Still not enough!
20th Century Fox, which has already poured in a lot of money, can't stand it anymore, but they have no choice but to continue to invest more, and they have no choice but to add Cameron all the way.
In the end, the film cost an exaggerated $200 million to finally make it! It exceeded the initial budget by more than double, how exaggerated is this figure? In the 1990s, the second most invested film was Will Smith's Independence Day.
Well, it cost a full $65 million! Barely reached one-third of the big ship, and it was not until 2001, five years after the release of "Titanic", that the world's second movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan appeared in the world, Warner's Harry Potter.
Before the film was officially released, 20th Century Fox had even prepared for bankruptcy and liquidation. They were extremely pessimistic and felt that the company was going to end. The highest-grossing, highest-grossing, and most-watched movies.
・・・・Seeking flowers・・
This record held for 13 years, until 2010, was broken by Cameron himself.
Well, it's this "Avatar".
Cameron's movie can almost bankrupt Hollywood's top film company, and you can see how much money he spends.
But these are not what Lin Long needs to consider now, he is thinking of something else.
If it burns money, "Avatar" is definitely more exaggerated than the Titanic! If Lin Long's memory is correct, the first "Avatar" cost more than 400 million US dollars, because of the huge investment gap and some technical The problem, this movie took a full 10 years on and off from the project to the filming and release!
0..
The current Cameron, if it is not good, is actually unable to shoot because of the problem of funds, and is working hard to attract investment!
Although Lin Long has no interest in participating, he will never let go of such an opportunity to make a lot of money!
Thinking of this, Lin Long picked up the phone and dialed Su Wan: "Hey mom, there is a project, please help me to check whether James Cameron's new movie is getting investment."
"Yes, there is such a thing, I heard that 20th Century Fox is going crazy, and there is a rumor in the industry that this is a movie that burns 10 times more money than "Titanic"! So even James Cameron Long's name is here, and there are not many people willing to invest.
