Chapter 2919: Jennifer's Thoughts

Cameron was not a prolific director when he first debuted.

Counting his film career, over the past 20 years, the total number of films he has made is not as many as Fatty Wang sometimes makes in a year.

Starting from "Titanic", Cameron has become a standard ten-year grind. After "Titanic" was released in November 1997, "Avatar" was released at the end of 2009. As for the legendary "Avatar 2" did not have any rumors in 2013, and it is said that the fastest setting will be in 2016.

Of course, "Avatar 2" in this life will take even more time, because Cameron has already started directing "The Hunger Games" at the invitation of Xiao Qi.

Cameron has already become a god through "Titanic", and now "Avatar" has made him the world's number one commercial director, so the next "Hunger Games" has attracted the attention of countless people.

Not only movie fans are looking forward to it, but also those in the industry, as long as they can get close, they all hope to rush in and get a share of the action.

The most active ones are investors.

But when they came to the door, they found that Cameron, who had to continuously increase the budget in the past, had no plan to increase the budget this time and win other companies to enter the market to share risks.

The reason is simple, this time the investor in "The Hunger Games" is Disney.

And Disney has become the private company of Xiao Qi, the world's richest man, last year. With Xiao Qi's backing, how could Cameron be worried that there is no funds available?

It is said that Xiao Qi's initial budget for Cameron was 500 million US dollars, such a huge figure, even the wealthy Sony Pictures would weigh it, and only Disney could show it without blinking an eye.

And according to Cameron's urgency, if he doesn't add a budget of 200 to 300 million yuan, then he will not be the king of waste Cameron.

No matter how confident investors are in Cameron, they will inevitably feel a little bit drummed when they encounter a budget of 700 to 800 million US dollars.

If you say it is "Avatar 2", then everyone has the confidence to invest in it.

But can a movie based on a novel that has never been heard of before and has only become popular recently, can it have such a big success?

Many people also have some doubts in their hearts, and dare not draw conclusions lightly.

No matter how unconfident they are, one is Cameron, the king of commercial movies, and the other is Xiao Qi, the richest man in the world. Both are well-known super geniuses, and they rarely make mistakes together!

The investors retreated, and the major brokerage companies were next.

"The Hunger Games" is expected to be a trilogy, which is known to everyone, but "The Hunger Games" has a lot of characters and needs a lot of supporting and general supporting roles, which gives the agency room to operate.

Take the first part of "The Hunger Games" as an example. In addition to the heroine Katniss in the first part, Peeta, the leading male lead, the contestants in other districts, mentors, drawers, hosts, etc., are all There must be at least 20 actors who have a head and a face, large and small, and have a role in the show.

Every movie Cameron makes will make many people popular, and it is the kind that gains both fame and fortune.

Therefore, the twenty or so main and supporting roles were frantically snapped up by countless people.

There are actually quite a few tricks when Americans choose leading and supporting roles in movies. There are some x rules that should be there, but their basic routines and guidelines are there. Generally, they are not too outrageous. Everything is based on the movie itself. of.

Especially Cameron, he basically does not engage in that kind of thing, and the casting directors who cooperate with him, etc., also understand his thoughts. The actors must not be bad, otherwise you will wait for the tyrant on the set to be devastated by the storm.

Big cousin Jennifer? Lawrence is under such circumstances to get the heroine of Katniss.

Cameron found more than 20 first- and second-tier female stars, and after five rounds of continuous screening and testing, he finally chose this beautiful blonde big-haired horse.

As for the heroine, Cameron didn't give Xiao Qi face, but he didn't discount the five Chinese actors that Xiao Qi agreed with him.

Three mainland male and female stars, one Hong Kong male star and one Taiwan female star entered the crew smoothly.

The five of them were able to get such a good opportunity, so they all knew whose credit it was. As a result, Qiao Guoer, Li Shaozhi and Ling Shuangshuang's aura was added, and they almost became the queens of the entertainment industry.

Not to mention Cameron's new movie this time, just thinking about those Disney movies in the future is enough to make countless stars frantically please them.

Not to mention that these male and female stars tried their best to please the three proprietresses.

After Cameron got the first $200 million, he went back to doing what he used to do.

That is……

waste!

Yes, he just wasted again.

This time the first thing wasted was time.

At the beginning, Cameron himself went to the virgin forests of the northern United States and Canada to find the address of the first episode of the Hunger Games battlefield. At the same time, he threw a group of actors to a special training instructor and trained them like a group of soldiers. Similarly, you can't even show that momentum.

After more than three months of tossing around like this, when Cameron found the address and came back, he inspected the skills and abilities of these actors. Overall, he felt pretty good, but he was very dissatisfied with the training results of his eldest cousin. .

Anyone who has watched the first episode will know that the whole "The Hunger Games" is not so much a sci-fi action movie, in fact the first one is just an action movie, except for the fight in the forest, those hosts They use flat screens to control the game outside, which increases the difficulty, and almost all of the rest can move the background to ancient times.

And the first time the big cousin used archery was not much, only a few times, the main part of the scene was actually the development of the plot.

So the big cousin's archery posture, shape, and various exercises, etc., are almost enough.

When meeting a big-name director, it's just for her to get used to it slowly, and then slowly enter the role in the second or third part.

But what she met was Cameron, who liked the real thing the most. Even the custom-made porcelain did not conform to the background of the time, so he could smash all of them and make a new director. How could he tolerate the leading role of the show like this? unprofessional?

Cameron specifically found a group of female shooters in the Olympics to watch, and then looked at the training results of his big cousin, and felt that it was as bad as ****.

So he scolded Jennifer directly, and planned to drive her to Korea to learn real archery.

In the world, the best women's archery skills are naturally Koreans. Their outstanding ones are called "earth sharpshooters", which is quite like a martial arts drama.

Cameron asked her to study for another three months. If she did not learn well, she would be replaced directly.

This frightened the eldest cousin, and she hurriedly assured Cameron that she would definitely learn well, but she asked if she could go to Huaguo to study, because she felt that Huaguo's women's archery skills were better.

During the Olympic Games in 2008, the Huaguo women's team players did create a miracle directly, suppressing the Korean land marksmen. Although there are many factors at home, if they don't have enough strength, how can it be possible? Beat them?

It just so happened that the video Cameron watched was from this section, so after thinking about it, he agreed.

To say that the eldest cousin can stand out and become a new generation of female superstars in Hollywood, she still has some skills.

In addition to the figure of a big ocean horse, she also has a bright mind.

As soon as Cameron asked her to go to Korea to learn archery, she immediately thought of another thing.

That is, in recent months, there has been a rumor in Hollywood that Xiao Qi originally planned to let his new love - Scarlett Johansson appear in "The Hunger Games", but Cameron insisted on choosing actors according to his own opinion , That's why I ignored Xiao Qi's intention and finally chose Jennifer.

The main reason is not that Cameron and Xiao Qi are fighting against each other, but that Scarlett's height is too inconsistent with the setting of the novel. If Scarlett is 10 centimeters taller, then this role will definitely be hers.

But it is said that Xiao Qi was very dissatisfied with this, which made the relationship between him and Cameron rather stiff.

For the film industry, a good director is important, and funding is even more important.

Although Cameron is a first-rate director in the film industry, there are still several directors who are not inferior to him, such as Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Nolan, and Chris Reese? Columbus, for example, Gore? Verbinski, etc., can direct "The Hunger Games."

As long as Xiao Qi is willing to spend money to hire one of them, then "The Hunger Games" will not fail much.

Especially Xiao Qi is only 23 years old this year, and it has always been smooth sailing. Once he feels unhappy, even if he loses money to let Cameron leave, it is not surprising.

The world's richest man with assets of more than 700 billion US dollars, of course, can be more willful.

Once Cameron left and another director came up, Jennifer's heroine would be lost.

For this reason, she has a very strong sense of crisis, and it is also for this reason that she has worked hard to train during this time.

Seeing that Cameron is still not satisfied now, and wants her to learn more professional archery, the eldest cousin suddenly has an idea, thinking that she can go to Huaguo to communicate with Xiao Qi, so that he can understand her strength and strength. Determination, this may increase Xiao Qi's good impression and make him not look down on himself so much.

The eldest cousin never thinks that she is inferior to Scarlett, especially in terms of figure. The figure of Dayan Ma has always been something she is very confident in. Since Scarlett can make Xiao Qi like her, then she can definitely do it too. do it! (To be continued ~^~.)
