Chapter 897 Unsuccessful Bodybuilding Champion

James Cameron didn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, he tidied up a little, tidied up his personal appearance, and took a taxi to Disney's headquarters.

After giving his name, he met Tang Shuxuan not long after.

But not in Tang Shuxuan's office, but on the set.

This thin female CEO wearing glasses was directing what people were doing. Cameron could tell that this was a scene in a tavern.

What kind of scene does it seem to be filming?

After looking at him for a few times, Tang Shuxuan motioned to the secretary next to him to bring over a document bag and handed it to Cameron.

"Mr. Cameron, this is the script and information. After you sign, you can sit over there and read it." Tang Shuxuan said, "You can't take the script away at the moment. You have to wait until you officially join the job and sign the confidentiality agreement." Officially take the script and start working.”

"I understand!" Cameron nodded.

To be honest, he was a little touched that Tang Shuxuan could show him the script before he joined the job, but this touch was directed at Yin Jun, because Tang Shuxuan would show it to him only if Yin Jun spoke.

He subconsciously said one more sentence, "President Tang, is the company so confident about me? Aren't you afraid that after I write down the script, I will find investment for the filming?"

Tang Shuxuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Our chairman wrote this script two years ago and registered it with Hollywood. Now that you are using it to secretly film it, who else dares to take on this film?" "

Two years ago?

Cameron took the script and sat on the open space next to him with some understanding.

Two years ago, I was still working as a special effects artist for Industrial Light and Magic!

He smiled to himself and opened the document bag.

The first photo that caught his eye... no, a portrait, made Cameron tremble and tremble all over!

This...this is the robot I imagined! ! !

What a hell!

How could it be such a coincidence?

If my idea was heard by others on a very special occasion and sold to Yin Jun, then there is still a possibility.

But the robot that was chasing and killing me was just a little blurry in my mind, and I didn’t even see it clearly!

Until today, not until now, I was sure it was it! !

Could it be that……

Yin Jun also had such a dream a few years ago?

What a coincidence!

This is a strange thing. God asked us two people who have also had this kind of dream to work together to create this movie!

James Cameron sighed without realizing it.

Then he pulled out a second sketch.

Cameron recognized it at a glance. It was a portrait of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the most famous American bodybuilding champion and Mr. Olympian.

In this sketch, Arnold Schwarzenegger is riding on a big motorcycle, wearing a leather jacket, leather pants, leather gloves and sunglasses. He is also holding a rifle in one hand, showing his coldness and cold-bloodedness in an instant. Showed it.

The third sketch is even more amazing.

This is a close-up of Schwarzenegger's face.

Unlike normal humans, half of his face is a human figure, but the eyes on the other side of his face are obviously mechanical and electronic eyes. The bleeding wounds are revealed, but they are not flesh and blood at all, but silver and glowing metal!

Seeing this, even without seeing the script, Cameron has completely given up on the idea that his idea was plagiarized.

Such an idea, thinking about it now, is simply ridiculous.

Even the dreamer himself didn't write the script. Yin Jun had already set up the character. How could this be done in a hurry?

Smiling and shaking his head, Cameron looked at Schwarzenegger's sketch again and nodded slightly.

This bodybuilder really found the right person to play this role.

Although Schwarzenegger is not famous, as long as he is the most suitable candidate, then he can be found.

After putting down the sketch, Cameron took a deep breath, took out the thick script, and started reading.

The studio was already busy at this time, and the sound was very noisy. But surprisingly, Cameron's world was quiet, and there was no sound at all.

…

Schwarzenegger, 34 years old, has the most perfect muscles and lines in the world.

No one is stronger and more perfect than him.

Thirteen years ago, Schwarzenegger, who was only 21 years old, came to the United States from his hometown in Austria.

In fact, his career is developing very smoothly, teaching classes, shooting bodybuilding videos for sale, etc. These have made a huge contribution to his reputation in the bodybuilding industry.

But one thing is that the bodybuilding industry is still too small and weak. Even if he is the best in history, he has no real fame.

So, Schwarzenegger chose to be a movie star.

At the beginning, some directors would look for him, thinking that this big man was very strong and suitable for special roles.

But after filming a few more movies, those directors will no longer look for him.

Unless it's a movie shot related to bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger has rarely received film offers in recent years.

the reason is simple.

He was just too clumsy, his face was naturally expressionless and he couldn't express any emotions at all.

How is this different from a stone man?

Who wants a stone man to play a role in a movie?

Such a situation made Schwarzenegger very sad.

But fortunately, he never thought of giving up and kept working hard.

In particular, he has just recently fallen in love with the daughter of the Kennedy family. If it succeeds, he will definitely get more and better film and television resources.

It was at this time that Schwarzenegger received a call from United Artists Film Company.

"I will play the role of the male villain?...Yes! Yes!! I'm coming!!"

After throwing down the phone, Schwarzenegger drove to the headquarters of United Artists Film Company.

As someone who often auditions at major film companies, he is very familiar with the corporate headquarters of every film giant.

What does it mean to be a villain?

His face, in the words of a director, was "born to be a villain." In the 11 years since he started acting, more than 80% of his roles have been villains.

However, even as a villain, he is still at the level of a minion. Occasionally being a silly little character who is beaten badly by the protagonist is enough to make him happy for a long time - because this way he can show up for a longer time.

Now United Artists Film Company actually said that they want him to be the leading male villain. Although he is a villain, he is also the leading male character!

Why is he unhappy?

But halfway through the drive, Schwarzenegger became a little confused.

Shouldn't Hollywood movies involve a preliminary interview, a second step of makeup interview, and a third step of finalizing the actors?

Especially this kind of role as the number one villain. Although United Artists Movies has declined, they are still one of the top seven in Hollywood. If such a role is taken out, many people will definitely compete for it.

Why did you say that you were asked to play this role the first time you opened your mouth?

What about those competitors?

Schwarzenegger thought for a long time but still couldn't find out the reason. However, while waiting at a red light, he accidentally saw a pair of high heels left by his girlfriend on the passenger seat.

He suddenly remembered something and immediately found a place with a phone booth to stop and made a call.

"Hello? Maria! It's me!...Did you find a relationship for me?...No, it was someone from United Artists Film Company who called me today. They said from the beginning that they wanted me to play the role of the male villain...Yes. ! It’s so weird! I thought it was you who helped me...Do I need to go there?...Oh, okay, I understand!...See you tonight!"

After making this call, Schwarzenegger obviously calmed down a lot.

However, when he saw a brief plot draft and two contracts handed to him in the office of United Artists Vice President Molike, he felt a little uneasy.

After signing one of the confidentiality contracts, he first read the plot script. It was roughly the story of him being a robot killer who specializes in hunting down future human beings who resist x-lord x from decades later.

What he did most often during this period was to act cool and expressionless to create violent situations.

This kind of plot is simple and crude. In addition to not knowing how to express the robot form, Schwarzenegger feels that this character and plot are tailor-made for him.

Isn't it just sabotage? This kind of unscrupulous and ruthless destruction makes me a little excited just thinking about it.

But Schwarzenegger couldn't get excited either.

Because the contract next to it is not a simple movie contract.

It was a contract to sign ten films with him within twenty years.

20 years?

10 movies? !

Schwarzenegger thought he was wrong at first.

I am already 34 years old. In 20 years, I will be 54 years old!

It can be said that they have 20 years of prime time in their film career, but they actually want to make 10 movies with them?

Take a closer look at the conditions. Good guy, this salary is really not low!

For the first "Terminator" film, his salary was US$1 million.

For the next nine movies, he can choose two salary methods. The first is 50 million to package all the film contracts; the second is a basic salary of 2 million US dollars for each film, plus 2% of the North American box office share.

The pay is not low either way.

At worst, he should be able to get more than 30 million U.S. dollars. If he is lucky, he may get 60 million or 80 million U.S. dollars.

Think about it, before today, he was still a young actor running around for tens of thousands of dollars.

But today, some Hollywood giants have shown great interest in him, giving him 1 million US dollars for one movie, and the rest includes a salary of no less than 30 million US dollars for 9 movies in 20 years.

In other words, if he signs this contract now, he will become a multimillionaire tomorrow!

At least 30 million US dollars!

What a big temptation this is for Schwarzenegger, who has worked hard for more than ten years but only saved more than 3 million US dollars! ?

With this money, he can live a more comfortable life, and he can give lectures and travel around without being so tired.

After 20 years of filming movies, I lived in a big villa and lived a leisurely life.

However, is he really worth only 30 million or even 50 million US dollars in the future?

If he becomes popular, won't these contracts become shackles that will restrict him in the future?

Don't blame Schwarzenegger for thinking so much. In fact, this is what every normal person thinks, even if Schwarzenegger is worthless now.

What's more, Schwarzenegger is also a man of great dreams and a man of great action.

Otherwise, he would not have crossed the ocean and come to the United States, which has no foundation at all, when he was at his most prosperous and admired by thousands of people in Europe, and worked hard for 14 years without giving up.

He likes money very much, but he has absolutely no intention of selling his future destiny for money.

Twenty years is the last period of my career!
