Chapter 896 Noble Support

Inside a dilapidated apartment in Los Angeles, United States.

Cameron was nestled on the bed, and the table was piled with pizza boxes and drink cups.

After returning from Italy, he had lived like this for almost five or six days.

But apart from going out at night and sitting on a bench in the park for a while, he basically never went out.

The filming work in Italy not only hurt his acclimatized body, but also his self-esteem as a director.

From the moment he set foot on the land of the United States again, he vowed that from now on, he must control his own destiny and be the master of the movie!

But……

Such an oath is a bit like a joke.

In Hollywood, who knows James? Who is Cameron?

And even if he becomes a director again, with his status, how can he expect to have the highest power of the crew like super directors like Spielberg and Lucas?

"Jingle Bell……"

Just as Cameron was thinking, the phone rang.

He didn't move, letting the phone ring reach its limit and then stopped.

The next moment, the phone rang tirelessly again.

Cameron muttered, stumbled up, and walked to the phone.

"Hello?" His voice was hoarse after not speaking for several days.

"Hey, James?" His familiar voice came from the other side of the phone.

"George?" Cameron was stunned. The person on the other side of the phone was his former boss, George Lucas, the boss of Lucasfilm and Industrial Light and Magic.

After giving up his job as a truck driver, Cameron entered Industrial Light and Magic. It was only last year that he left Industrial Light and Magic and began his full-time film career.

In the days of Industrial Light and Magic, Cameron was not very good, but some of his ideas and suggestions for movies made George Lucas very interested.

If Cameron hadn't wanted to strike out on his own, George Lucas might have trained him as an assistant.

"James, pack up quickly. An important person will call you later. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on you." Lucas said straight to the point.

"Who?" Cameron became more energetic.

If Lucas can be called an "important person", then he must not be an unknown person, but should at least be the deputy general manager of a company.

Is he an important figure in Hollywood?

"You know Yin Jun, right?" Lucas said a Chinese name.

"Oh, I know." Cameron is of course very familiar with this talented boy from Hong Kong who often appears in Hollywood newspapers and news recently.

He also knew that Yin Junke acquired Disney and United Artists Film Company in one fell swoop, becoming a new Hollywood giant.

"He asked me to find your contact information and let me tell you. Let me see...oh, in 25 minutes, he will call your home." Lucas said, "What specific matter did he I didn’t say it, but I told him you were back in Los Angeles now, and he looked very happy.”

"Okay, thank you, George, for coming out for a drink when you have time." After Cameron said a few words, he hung up the phone.

Then he immediately rushed to the bathroom, washed up quickly, and made a cup of strong coffee before smoking a cigarette to refresh himself.

His mind has not thought for many days. Now he feels that his mind is a little scattered and he cannot organize his thoughts and words well.

Why did Yin Jun come to find him?

In Cameron's opinion, he probably heard from somewhere that he was quite capable and wanted to recruit him to join United Artists Film Company or Disney?

So, is it necessary to join Yin Jun's company and start working as an assistant director?

have!

Cameron said with certainty.

He knew that he was at a disadvantage this time filming "Piranha 2" and was fired within a week. What was the reason?

The reason is that I have no reputation and no outstanding results.

If it were Spielberg, look at those Italians, would they dare to treat him like this?

The American media can spray them to death without Spielberg having to say anything.

Therefore, as I have nothing now, I should work on making movies seriously and steadily for a few years, and only after I have accumulated a certain amount of money, I can fly high.

Under such a premise, Yin Jun's invitation is very important to him.

As long as the conditions are not too harsh, I will enter and get a place in this reorganized Disney and United Artists movie.

It would be such a wonderful thing to be able to participate in the filming and production of 007 or Rocky!

"Jingle Bell……"

While Cameron was deep in thought, the phone rang.

Cameron almost rolled over and ran over from the sofa. After taking a deep breath, he answered the phone tremblingly.

"Hello, this is James Cameron."

"Hello, James, I'm Yin Jun from Qilin Computer." On the other side of the phone, a young voice came. His English was very authentic and his speech was very clear: "I just asked George to make a call to contact you first. , I think you already have a rough understanding of it, right?"

"Yes, he said you have something to ask me for." Cameron said as calmly as possible.

"Yes, I do have something I want to ask you for help with." Yin Jun smiled and said, "How about you join our North American branch of Kylin Films? Oh, Kylin Films includes Disney and United Artists Film Company."

James clenched his fist with his other hand and said firmly and quickly: "Okay! Thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

"Great." Yin Jun nodded and said, "By the way, get ready and go to Disney tomorrow. Ms. Tang, the president of our North American branch, works there. I will tell her what you are going to do. .She will also give you the script..."

"Wait a minute!"

Cameron was a little confused and subconsciously interrupted Yin Jun: "What script?"

"Oh, look at me! I can't explain clearly." Yin Jun said, "I wrote a script before and recently wanted to film it. It happened that someone recommended you to me, saying that you are a very potential and talented person. director, so I’m going to let you shoot it...how about it, are you confident that you can shoot it?”

filming! ?

Cameron's whole body trembled for a moment, and his mind went blank.

"Hello... hello... James?..."

"Oh, I'm here, I'm here!"

Cameron was brought back to his senses by Yin Jun's voice, and said full of disbelief and excitement: "Mr. Yin, why did you choose me to direct the movie? Don't you know that I am a complete newcomer?"

"Some people, even newcomers, are better than some experienced people." Yin Jun said, "I have a lot of information about fledgling directors. I think you are the most suitable, so I chose you. You probably won't want this. A chance, right?"

"No, I..." Cameron was about to agree, but suddenly remembered the vow he had made before.

He paused, perhaps because Yin Jun's tone was very gentle and not arrogant at all, so he suddenly boldly asked: "Mr. Yin, if I am the director, can I have the greatest power on the set?"

Yin Jun seemed to be stunned, and then said after a while: "James, do you think you have the ability to control the overall situation?"

Cameron thought to himself that he might have to kneel down this time. He was too ignorant to ask for such ungrateful rights in the first place. Did he really think that United Artists Films and Disney had no one?

But I had no choice but to say it all, so I could only bite the bullet and said: "I think if this is the case, it will be more conducive to my performance and better able to make a good movie. Although I have only been a director once, I hope There will be greater opportunities to perform.”

"If you were given more power, could you make better movies?"

"Of course." Cameron didn't hesitate this time.

After so many years of study and exploration, his understanding of movies has become somewhat basic. If there is a better opportunity, he believes that he can do well.

"Okay then." Yin Jun nodded, "Just give it a try!"

"ah!?"

Cameron was pleasantly surprised, but he was afraid that he had heard wrongly: "Mr. Yin, you said...you agreed? Did you agree to control the set?"

"Of course." Yin Jun said: "Since I chose you as the director, you must know best how to shoot. Then there is no need to let a layman direct an expert."

Cameron almost didn't cry when he heard the last sentence.

He agreed so much with what Yin Jun said!

At this moment, his favorable impression of Yin Jun instantly exploded, and he was full of confidence and energy in the company he was about to join.

But Cameron did not lose his mind. He then asked the question he was concerned about: "Can I ask, what type of movie are you going to let me make?"

"A movie about a warrior from the future who travels back to the present."

Future Warrior?

Back to the present?

Cameron's eyes suddenly widened, "You...your idea..."

Yin Jun pretended not to understand his horror, and said simply and clearly: "You will know when you read the script tomorrow. This is the script I have prepared a long time ago. This is the first work of United Art Film Company. It’s done. I’ve already found the male and female protagonists and supporting actors. You should quickly familiarize yourself with the script, then submit a budget, and start shooting when you’re ready!..."

Cameron couldn't hear what Yin Jun said clearly enough.

But he knew clearly that Yin Jun's script had been written long ago, and the male and female protagonists and director had been considered and determined.

And myself...

The dream I had was just a vague concept, and there was no story formed at all.

And that happened a month ago. If Yin Jun wanted to make a plan, he would have to inspect and collect information at least several months ago to find suitable actors and directors.

Is it really such a coincidence?

Yin Jun wrote a movie that was pretty much what he wanted, and then he happened to find himself to film it? !

Cameron was confused for a moment.
