Chapter 1210: First Meeting with "Avatar"

If you want to sell your "Qianyuan" mobile phone with "Baidu Earth" in the United States, you can't rely on the successful advertising and sales experience in Japan, South Korea and other countries. Different countries, different ethnic groups, different skin colors, different cultures

, if you copy advertisements that are suitable for Easterners to Westerners, you will only encounter a disastrous failure. Therefore, if you want to impress Westerners, you must make advertisements that conform to Westerners' aesthetic views to impress them.

Originally, Lin Feng hoped to invite Spielberg to film, but now Spielberg is filming the "Hero" series. Out of confidence in "Hero", Spielberg completed the filming of "Hero" given by Lin Feng in one go.

The script of the first season. Therefore, there is currently no time to shoot such an advertisement. This has always made Lin Feng quite entangled. After all, this is the hope of Lin Feng to compete with "Google". Although there is now an "artificial intelligence program"

", but this program is still in its initial stage of use, and its real power will be revealed in the future. At this stage, there is no better weapon against "Google" than "Baidu Earth". And in "Baidu

When the "Earth" was temporarily frozen by the California Supreme Court, the "Qianyuan" that bound "Baidu Earth" was Lin Feng's biggest support.

Now that James Cameron has come to your doorstep, if you don't make more use of this golden Hollywood director, you would be really sorry for yourself.

Later, at the appointed time, Lin Feng received the award-winning director James Cameron and his accompanying Spielberg at Avril Lavigne's "Neverland Ranch".

"Mr. Cameron, I have known you for a long time. It is really an honor for me to meet you today." Lin Feng greeted James Cameron warmly.

"Mr. Lin, your reputation is known all over the world, and your behavior at the Oscars was really impressive!" James Cameron exclaimed.

From ancient times to the present, since the establishment of the "Oscars", no one has dared to speak so wildly at the "Oscars" award ceremony. Although there are actors or directors who have been abused in the past, most of them have swallowed it. After all, they want to be in this industry.

, you can't offend people like the "Oscar" organizing committee. But Lin Feng didn't care. He said he offended, and it was in front of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world. This courage really made James Cameron

Long admired.

"Haha, Mr. Cameron, if that's the case, aren't you afraid of being implicated by contacting me?" Lin Feng took the opportunity to question.

Although there were hints from Spielberg that James Cameron came to him this time, it should be for the legendary "Avatar", but Lin Feng still wanted to confirm that James Cameron thought about himself and "Oscar"

What is your attitude towards making enemies? If you seek bad luck with "Oscar" in the future, which side will James Cameron stand on?

James Cameron is also an old man, so why can't he understand the meaning of Lin Feng's words? He naturally knows that Lin Feng hopes to use his name or power to embarrass "Oscar", but he, like Spielberg,

They are well-known figures in Hollywood. Their concerns are not as big as Lin Feng imagined. No matter what they do, they only rely on their personal likes and dislikes and will never care about other people's opinions. Of course, this does not mean that they are willing to

Being used as a gunman by Lin Feng in vain.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, I am just a director. The director's responsibility is to make movies and make good movies. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with me." James Cameron said with a smile.

When Lin Feng heard this, his eyes lit up. James Cameron's words revealed two meanings to Lin Feng. One was on behalf of James Cameron regarding the dispute between Lin Feng and the "Oscar" organizing committee.

He would never interfere; as for the second meaning, if Lin Feng could help him make a good movie, then he wouldn't mind being used by Lin Feng in a small way. Of course, there is a premise for this, that is

Can Lam Feng help him make a good movie?

But obviously, Lin Feng happened to be able to help him now. Otherwise, he would not have contacted Lin Feng through Spielberg.

"Mr. Cameron, how can I help?" Lin Feng refilled James Cameron's cup of coffee and directly brought the topic to the point.

"Since Mr. Lin is quick to talk, I won't be polite. I have a script in my hand that has been carefully planned for several years. However, this script not only requires extremely large funds, but also has some minor technical problems. But these two

Mr. Lin can help me solve any problem!" James Cameron said with great sincerity.

When it comes to movies, James Cameron seems to change into a different person, with a face full of piety and a face full of fanaticism. Perhaps people like him were born for movies.

At this moment, Lin Feng could already see for sure that the script James Cameron was talking about was "Avatar". Although Lin Feng didn't know how popular "Avatar" would be in the future, at that time it was a movie that the world was concerned about.

The box office is definitely not much different. What's more, I have fallen out with "Oscar" now, and if I want to take revenge on "Oscar", I need someone like James Cameron.

"Mr. Cameron, I wonder what script you are talking about? Can I be lucky enough to witness it?" Lin Feng asked pretending to be very curious.

James Cameron smiled slightly and handed the script he had prepared to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took over the script from James Cameron with great piety. Although Lin Feng himself only regarded movies as entertainment and did not think there was anything sacred about them. Most of the so-called sacredness was artificially added.

I just hope that others will pay more attention to it. But facing an old man like James Cameron, since he attaches so much importance to this script that may be "Avatar", it doesn't matter if Lin Feng is a little pious. Piety doesn't cost money anyway.

Spielberg on the side looked at the script in Lin Feng's hand, his eyes filled with yearning. Spielberg himself was extremely curious about the script that made James Cameron so obsessed with it. But he was different from Lin Feng.

James Cameron is also a director, and a well-known director in Hollywood. Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, he must not read the script in James Cameron's hands. Therefore, he can only look envious.

Lin Feng took the script and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was "Avatar". Immediately, he opened the script and the wonderful world of "Avatar" suddenly appeared in front of Lin Feng. It was shocking and moved at first sight.

Although Lin Feng knew about the movie "Avatar", before Lin Feng was reborn, he only heard the sound of "Avatar" but never saw its shadow. Lin Feng also knew that "Avatar" was a science fiction movie, and the rest were not

have no idea.

But now after reading the script in James Cameron's hand, I realized that this "Avatar" is really a rare and good movie. It actually plays an alien love story, where the earth and the people from the planet Pandora fall in love.

xxoo, Lin Feng really admires the imagination in James Cameron's mind. I really don't know what he thinks. He actually thinks of earthlings and aliens doing that, and it's earthlings who are willing to become aliens.

You know, in the description of the script of "Avatar", the "Navi" people of the Pandora planet are all blue. I really don't know how the protagonist in the play suffered.

Abnormal! - Lin Feng sighed sincerely.

"Mr. Lin, I wonder how you feel about this script?" Although James Cameron is extremely confident in this "Avatar", he still hopes to gain the approval of others. This is not to say that James Cameron lacks confidence.

But whenever a person owns a very good thing, he will instinctively want to show off and show off in order to gain the approval of others.

This "Avatar" script is also the first time that James Cameron has shared it with others. You can imagine the excitement in it.

Uh..., Lin Feng was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't let Lin Feng directly say that this script is very perverted. The male protagonist is willing to become an alien with extremely long limbs, a tail, and a blue body to fight with aliens.

It's so perverted for people to have sex! James Cameron will fall out like that.

What's more, seeing James Cameron looking forward to receiving admiration from others, it was hard for Lin Feng to attack this old man.

"Mr. Cameron, I think this drama is good. It can tell us that even if we have powerful force, we should not invade others. The world needs peace, and different races can coexist peacefully." Lin Feng

After thinking about it for a while, I came up with a reason.

When James Cameron heard this, his eyes sparkled. Although Lin Feng only talked about one aspect of "Avatar", it already made James Cameron quite satisfied. Since Lin Feng appreciates this "Avatar" so much,

"Avatar", James Cameron naturally wants to strike while the iron is hot.

"Mr. Lin, since you appreciate this "Avatar" so much, and your 'Second Entertainment' is also a film entertainment company, I wonder if you are willing to invest in this "Avatar"?" James Cameron asked expectantly.

.

Lin Feng nodded. Since James Cameron is here, he will definitely invest. Besides, this "Avatar" was such a hit back then, it should do well at the box office.

"Mr. Cameron, how much money do you need?" Lin Feng asked casually.

"Not much, 500 million is enough!" James Cameron said with a smile.

What! 500 million U.S. dollars!——Lin Feng took a sharp breath when he heard this. It takes 500 million U.S. dollars to make a movie? Did he hear it correctly?——Lin Feng looked shocked. You know, James Cameron said it lightly.

These few words that he spat out really frightened Lin Feng.

Not to mention Lin Feng's shock, the great Hollywood director Spielberg on the side also looked shocked. He has shot so many movies, but none of them have ever cost 500 million US dollars. This is really shocking.

"Mr. Cameron, I remember that the most expensive movie to invest in now is probably the US$250 million you spent on "Titanic" back then! This time it actually cost US$500 million, which is twice as much. I don't know.

Did you hear that wrong? Are you planning to build a 'Pandora Planet'?" Lin Feng had to ask James Cameron to confirm.

Although Lin Feng is rich and is the richest man in the world, most of Lin Feng's funds are stocks, not cash. Unless Lin Feng sells all his shares, he will have tens of billions of dollars in cash, but unless he is a fool, he will not

There will be people who are willing to sell all their shares and become a person with huge cash in their hands. You must know that money will depreciate, but some companies will increase in value. Therefore, Lin Feng is asked to come up with 500 million US dollars in one go.

This is really a bit overwhelming. Although Lin Feng works harder, there is still no problem. But it is really a bit much.

Spielberg also nodded secretly and agreed with Lin Feng's words. Making a movie with US$500 million is definitely beyond Spielberg's imagination. But look at James Cameron, it seems that the movies he has shot in recent years

The investment is not cheap, but the box office is also very good. This Hollywood director who is as famous as himself seems to be gradually moving closer to big investments and big returns.

James Cameron also understands Lin Feng's surprise. The budget of this movie is 500 million US dollars, which is really shocking. James Cameron has also been looking for some investors, but when they heard that this movie would invest 500 million US dollars,

US dollars, he immediately retreated. This is also the reason why James Cameron has been writing the "Avatar" script to this day and is still constantly revising it. No one dares to invest!

Although "Titanic" invested US$250 million and earned US$1.8 billion, these investors did not dare to guarantee that this time James Cameron invested US$500 million and earned US$3.6 billion. You know,

No matter how famous a director is, there will be times when he is unlucky or encounters waterloo. If this film encounters waterloo, wouldn't it be bad for the investors?

"Mr. Lin, there are two reasons why this "Avatar" needs so much money. One is that the stunts in the film will be the most stunted movie in history; the other is because I plan to shoot it as a 3D movie.

, then if you want to make a 3D movie, the cost is much more expensive than an ordinary movie. However, only by making a 3D movie can you fully show the world of "Avatar". Mr. Lin, I believe that this "Avatar" will definitely

It will definitely get a good box office." James Cameron said confidently.

Lin Feng looked at James Cameron, who looked confident, and felt a little lacking in confidence. He was now a little short of money, and after the two banks acquired the shares of "Baidu Portal", in order to ensure normal flow, they had no extra funds for the time being.

Providing to Lin Feng, after all, neither "Second Bank" nor "Standard Bank of South Africa" ​​is Lin Feng's completely private bank. They also have their own inherent customer base, and it is impossible to completely abandon those customers for Lin Feng alone.

This is not good for the development of banks. Therefore, it is really difficult for Lin Feng to suddenly come up with US$500 million.

What's more, Lin Feng really doesn't know whether "Avatar" will be a big hit in the future. If it doesn't, it will be a big loss. After thinking about it, Lin Feng looked at Spielberg, hoping that he could give him

An opinion.

Spielberg naturally received Lin Feng's eyes, but he was not too sure at the moment how far this "Avatar" could reach. After all, he had not even read the script at the moment, so he could not make a judgment. Unless he let

If he reads the script, he may be able to deduce something. However, because of his identity, he absolutely cannot read the script of "Avatar" unless filming of "Avatar" has officially begun.

After thinking about it, Spielberg shook his head slightly, indicating that he could not give Lin Feng any advice and that this matter could only be solved by Lin Feng himself.

Lin Feng had a headache. After thinking about it, he finally decided to invest. Isn't it just 500 million US dollars? If he really lost it, he would just admit defeat. What's more, before he was reborn, "Avatar" was rumored to be mysterious. Although

There are many movies that are either well-received or not well-received, but Lin Feng doesn't believe that he would be so unlucky.

"Mr. Cameron, $500 million is absolutely no problem for me. I only have a small request." Lin Feng said with a smile.

When James Cameron heard that Lin Feng was willing to invest, he was immediately happy. However, when he heard that Lin Feng still had requests, he frowned slightly. He just didn't like others to dictate when he was making movies. Back then, in order to be able to discharge
