In fact, the work of "Titanic" with the same name as James Cameron was released because it was to get the popularity of James Cameron.

After all, James Cameron is a great director who has filmed the "Terminator" series and "The True Lies". He has a very high box office appeal and is also very famous in the international film industry. He has worked hard to prepare for "Titanic" for several years, which naturally attracted great attention.

So some film companies saw the business opportunities and launched a film called "Titanic" with the same name and theme before James Cameron, with the intention of stealing the box office.

This is like Asylum, a well-known American copycat film company, when someone makes "Pacific Rim", it makes "Atlantic Ocean"; when someone makes "Da Vinci Code", it makes "Da Vinci Treasure"; when someone makes "Singing and Dance Youth·Back to School Season", it makes "Sunday College Musical".

In short, it will take advantage of the popularity of the subject. Although the production cost is incomparable, people invest in blockbusters for hundreds of millions of dollars, the scene is grand and the special effects are realistic.

Their investment is as high as one million dollars, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the 50 cents special effects and the story is shocking, and it is simply a big bad movie that people can't bear to witness.

But they also have a way to sell this bad movie. They deliberately made the name and poster very similar to those blockbusters, making the audience unable to tell the difference and fooled them. After spending the same ticket, they watched a bad movie, which can be said to be quite a thief.

However, they did not violate the law, and they made money well. For example, the super blockbuster "Super Battleship" created by Universal Pictures not only did not make money, but instead lost 200 million US dollars. However, "American Warship" filmed by Asylum not only recovered its cost, but also earned 250,000 US dollars.

In the United States, when nearly half of the film companies have no money to make a profit all year round, asylum can make a net profit of 5 million US dollars a year. This is definitely considered a good performance in Hollywood.

It can be seen that copycats are actually a way to make money.

This copycat version of the Cartoon version of "Titanic" earned more than 28 million US dollars in box office with a cost of 5 million US dollars, which is a big profit.

It was released before the Cameron version, with works of the same theme and also love dramas, which had a great impact on Cameron's version, which was equivalent to spoiling Cameron's version in advance.

By then, Cameron's version will be released again, and the story will no longer be new, so naturally the box office will be greatly reduced. After all, the reason why the movie is charming is because it is a dream-making machine, allowing the audience to enjoy dream-like audio-visual enjoyment.

Therefore, many people are not optimistic about Cameron's version of "Titanic", believing that it may be a box office hit. But after such a thing, the box office is also hanging.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Forbes is willing to give up the movie Cameron.

You know, after all, Cameron is the top director who created box office masterpieces such as the Terminator series and the True Lies. If it weren't for the love, Forbes would definitely not be willing to part ways with Cameron.

...

But unexpectedly, when almost everyone was not optimistic about Cameron's movie, Xia Tian was willing to take over. Not only did he pay Forbes $100 million to buy out the entire Titanic movie project, but he also invested another $100 million to James Cameron to complete the filming.

This operation really surprised the outside world.

Almost everyone disliked this investment and believed that Xia Tian must have been out of sight this time.

But unexpectedly, James Cameron's version of "Titanic" not only has a first-class reputation, but also has not been influenced by the copycat version of "Titanic".

Up to now, the global box office has approached the billion dollar mark. Such a good result is unprecedented. Even later generations may not be easy to catch up.

Because before "Titanic", the movie that set the world's highest box office was "Jurassic Park" in 1993, with a global box office of only $600 million. That was already a pretty amazing result.

Summer not only successfully recovered the 200 million US dollars of investment and made a big profit, but also ranked first in the Oscars and set a record again.

With such an accurate investment vision, it is hard to explain it with good luck.

So Wang Xiaoxian was very curious about this and wondered how Xia Tian decided to invest in the work "Titanic".

This is also something that many people around the world are wondering about.

"Actually, the reason why I invested in James Cameron is very simple, because he is a person who truly loves the art of film." Xia Tian smiled in the face of Wang Xiaoxian's doubts.

"It's that simple?" Wang Qixian said in confusion when he heard this.

This reason is a bit too broad.

She originally wanted to hear Xia Tian explain how he keenly realized the excellence of "Titanic" where others didn't pay attention to it. But the result was just such a simple reason, which was a bit of a play.

"Brother Tian, ​​he just loves movies, so it's worth your investment of 200 million US dollars?" Wang Qixian still couldn't figure it out.

"This reason seems simple, but it is not simple at all. Think about it, a big director like James Cameron, who can make a movie with a bonus of at least tens of millions of dollars. In the United States, this money is enough for him to spend his whole life.

However, it took him two years to take a submarine to the deep sea to see the wreckage of the Titanic many times. With this thought alone, how many directors in the world can do it?" Xia Tian looked at Wang Qixian and said.

"Many directors and actors keep talking about how they love movies and how they are dedicated, but in fact they have made a lot of bad works. They are planning to make a movie, but the basic story logic cannot be fulfilled. If they act in a movie, they cannot even achieve the most basic similarity of the role.

Playing a farmer or a migrant worker, you can't even tan your skin; playing a poor student, you are a famous brand; playing a sportsman, you are a full of murmurs. I will not invest in directors like this, even if the slogans are louder.

And a director like James Cameron, even if I lose money in this movie, I believe his next movie can be sold."

After hearing what he said, Wang Qixian nodded and suddenly realized.
