Chapter 1510 The Leisurely Card God
A person's ideological realm begins to improve with his adequate food and clothing and achievements.
The ancients said it and could explain it clearly with a poem.
"A person with a solid storehouse will know etiquette; a person with enough food and clothing will know honor and disgrace."
If you tell a person who doesn't even have enough to eat what spiritual pursuits are and what "achieving greatness and benefiting the world" means, that's all nonsense.
Nothing is as satisfying as a bowl of white rice to fill your stomach. For this bowl of white rice, people who are forced into desperate situations can do incredible things!
But if you are free from food and clothing, or even free from financial restrictions, then the realm and things you pursue are completely different.
For example, sitting in front of Yin Jun, wearing a colorful shirt and beach pants, he looked like James Cameron on vacation at the beach in Hawaii. He was very relaxed.
James Cameron, who made "Terminator" and "Die Hard" consecutively, is not qualified to be one of the four major directors in Hollywood, but he is definitely one of the most popular directors in Hollywood now.
Although "The Terminator" was ground-breaking, the second "Die Hard" did not rely on any special effects, but relied on its plot and hot fighting scenes to take in a global box office of US$560 million in two months. , which fully proves James Cameron's strength.
Thanks to these two movies, Cameron's dividends have exceeded 20 million US dollars.
Yin Jun did not treat him badly. Not only did he get a share of the global box office, but he also had a share of the rest of the video tapes, TV copyrights, etc.
Although it's not much, it's definitely worthy of Cameron's current worth.
This is also what makes Cameron very happy.
Although Yin Jun single-handedly promoted him, he is also a common man who needs to eat all kinds of grains. He needs to have a prosperous life and be able to afford what he wants.
In addition, Yin Jun gave Cameron the final editing rights in the second "Die Hard" movie, which made Cameron feel very comfortable working with Yin Jun.
So even though many companies are looking for him now, hoping to find him to help direct movies, Cameron has not considered it yet.
I am very happy at Qilin Group, and I have all the benefits, so why should I have to find a new place and start everything over again?
The filming of "Die Hard" has come to an end, and Cameron has no plans for a new film for the time being. Instead, he is planning to travel to Hong Kong and India.
No one else but him.
"I am very interested in Indian sects. They are very mysterious and interesting." Cameron explained his trip to Yin Jun. "I hope to live there for a while and really experience this ancient civilization."
Thinking about the jokes about India in the future, Yin Jun managed to hold back and did not persuade Cameron not to go.
Come to think of it, Gang Leader Qiao has traveled all over India barefoot. What can a person like God Ka, who is so lucky and blessed, do if he goes to India?
Cameron loves India very much.
The title of his most important future movie, "Avatar," is Sanskrit, meaning "incarnation."
The name also foreshadows the origins and important changes in the entire story.
No one without any religious studies would be able to come up with such fantastic ideas.
Maybe it was because of his experience in this field in his previous life that he was able to make movies with peak special effects like "Avatar".
"How is your work plan?" Yin Jun asked smoothly.
"Boss, why have you become so tacky?" Cameron said teasingly while drinking ice-cold wine, "Isn't it the most important thing for a genius like you to be casual?"
"But I have so many people to feed!" Yin Jun shrugged. "With you, the number one director of commercial films, am I not worthy of your ability if I don't squeeze you hard?"
Everyone likes to hear good things.
Especially for a genius like Yin Jun, Cameron was of course very happy to hear the compliment.
So he didn't show off, and said with a smile: "I have been preparing for "Terminator 2". People in the digital field are so annoyed by me that they are about to ask the security guards to ban me from entering, so I just went out for a walk. ...Looking at their work progress, they may not be able to produce the liquid robot effects needed for "Terminator 2" within two years, so I can only wait."
After a pause, Cameron added, "The kid you introduced to me who plays the teenage version of the resistance leader, I think it's okay. He has a little bit of aura, so I'll try it first! But let me say it first Well, if he really doesn’t meet the requirements, I won’t use him.”
"good!"
Yin Jun nodded without hesitation.
Although Goo Jai is the person that Yin Jun wants to support, compared to Cameron, his weight is still not enough.
If there is a conflict over movie concepts, Cameron must come first. Otherwise, according to Cameron's temper, he will leave sooner or later.
Seeing that Yin Jun agreed easily, Cameron breathed a sigh of relief.
He heard Cheng Long say that this little boy was so fond of Yin Jun that he almost accepted him as his godson, otherwise he wouldn't have eagerly sent him to join the destined-to-be brilliant "Terminator 2".
Indeed, as Cameron said, Gu Tianle still has enough aura, but Cameron cannot guarantee whether he can adapt to his requirements during filming, so he told Yin Jun first to avoid conflicts in the future.
After so many years of ups and downs, Cameron knows that it is absolutely difficult to find a boss as good as Yin Jun in Hollywood. He will definitely not leave the Kirin Group unless he has to.
"Gu is a good boy, but my favorite is Jack." Cameron relaxed at this time, "He broke my inherent concept of actors and let me know that there are actually such serious and dedicated actors! Although he and I have disputes in many places, we are all trying to make the movie better! If possible, I would like to continue to work with him on a few more movies."
Cameron himself is very serious and demanding, and what he likes most is the kind of people who dare to act hard.
Although Schwarzenegger was trained by him to be a big name, Cameron was still able to force him to hang on the plane for filming.
But for Americans, work is secondary, life and body are the most important, so Cameron can also understand these actors.
But when he saw how hard Cheng Long worked on the set, he was really shocked.
He didn't expect that an actor, especially a famous first-class actor, could be so desperate.
No matter which action or scene it was, as long as he called, Cheng Long would not frown.
No matter which injury he suffered, Cheng Long was unequivocal. As long as he could move, he could shoot.
After several months of filming, Cameron was completely convinced by Cheng Long. He liked this kind of actor from the bottom of his heart and wished he could work with him. Everyone was like Cheng Long - including the actresses.
In Cameron's view, good actors have no distinction of nationality. Even if Cheng Long is not a European or American white man, he is willing to continue to cooperate with him.
Because only when actors are serious can they make good movies.
He, Cameron, only cares about whether the movie is good or not, and does not care about the actors from which country.
"I have already prepared the script for "Die Hard 2". When you come back from India, go to United Artists to get it." Yin Jun did not hesitate, ""Die Hard 2" has a total of 4 episodes. I I hope you can continue to work with Jack.”
"no problem!"
Cameron also agreed.
"And I also have a script here, you can take a look." Yin Jun said, "If possible, the best actor is Schwarzenegger. Because this script is tailor-made for him."
"Okay! Let me take a look first."
Cameron did not agree directly this time.
Although Schwarzenegger performed very well in "Terminator", his characteristics are too distinct, and many roles are not suitable for him and cannot be arranged randomly.
Cameron admires Yin Jun's vision, but now he has the right to demand control of his own movie, from beginning to end.
Yin Jun not only gave him this power, but even the role was only a suggestion and never forced. This is one of the biggest reasons why Cameron likes to stay in the Kirin Group.
The movie that the boy gave to Cameron was not the works of Cameron in his previous life, but it was still a classic.
A classic performed by Schwarzenegger.
The name is
"Predator".
It is about a group of rescue teams landing on a desert island to rescue a pilot who crash-landed on the island after his plane was shot down.
To put it simply, Schwarzenegger and the others encountered an alien who was almost invulnerable, bloodthirsty, and equipped with a lot of high-tech equipment, thermal imaging, and invisibility. After almost annihilating the entire army, Schwarzenegger The story of Singer capturing and killing aliens by himself.
The storyline is not complicated, but the whole plot content is thrilling.
The audience is easily drawn into the tense, depressing and terrifying atmosphere.
An invisible enemy was already terrifying, and with such powerful abilities, he was still so cruel. As the rescue team was killed one by one, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
But the more this happened, and in the end, when Schwarzenegger acted as a lone hero, turned the tide and captured the aliens, this suppressed excitement was released more and more heartily.
Yin Jun watched this movie around 2010, and he watched it in a tense and exciting atmosphere.
Among all the science fiction action movies that teenagers watch, "Predator" ranks at least in the top five in terms of concept and excitement.
Such a good-looking movie, although it is R-rated and restricted to young people under the age of 18, it is actually a bit strange that it did not make it into the top ten of the North American box office rankings that year.
Therefore, after Yin Jun made Schwarzenegger famous and after Yin Jun attracted Cameron, he actively prepared for this movie.
"Terminator 2" will be filmed in two or three years. Schwarzenegger has only filmed one "Terminator", which cannot consolidate his status as a first-line action star.
Since the beginning of this year, he has repeatedly asked Yin Jun to make another movie with a good script. This movie can be excluded from the ten-film contract over twenty years, and the pay can be as low as possible.
After so many years of training and failures, Schwarzenegger's character is definitely not arrogant and domineering, so Yin Jun is willing to praise him again.
As for Schwarzenegger's voluntary retreat "not being counted in the contract," Yin Jun has no such idea. He is not a person who takes advantage. Since the contract has been made, he should abide by it.
After all, Schwarzenegger has not acted in many movies in his life. The best way to make the most reasonable use of the resources of a big star is to make it more frequent at first, and then let him star in one every two or three years after a few years.
As for Cameron, there is no need to worry. What he likes is this kind of hot and intense movies with a lot of special effects.
And the octopus-like alien happened to give Cameron experience in creating aliens in advance.
It also laid the foundation for his future development in science fiction.
It would be strange for Cameron to miss such a good opportunity to accumulate experience!
