The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 718 Are you still short of money? 【】

"It turns out that Mr. Huang arranged this good show! Is Mr. Huang satisfied?" Seeing that he had become the focus of the entire theater, and all the reporters were frantically taking pictures of himself, James Cameron looked a little embarrassed, but still He kept smiling and said to Boss Huang.

Forget it, the filming is over, no one can stop tomorrow's news, and I will definitely become the focus of this film's promotion, so why not bite the bullet and accept it, and then tell Boss Huang that I have cooperated so much, are you right? Should give some favors.

Otherwise, James Cameron only needs to say a few words when he is being interviewed, such as what I really came here with interest, but I think the movie is very bad, and if I return after being disappointed, it is completely negative publicity up.

"It's easy to talk! Everything is easy to talk about. Let's go to the office to discuss it in detail!" Boss Huang said enthusiastically, then pulled James Cameron away from the reporter's lights, left directly from the VIP passage of the theater, and went to Boss Huang's The nanny car just left.

But James Cameron couldn't wait for the car to arrive at Boss Huang's office, so he said directly in the car, "Mr. Huang, I sincerely hope to cooperate with your company."

"And I think this is a cooperation that can achieve mutual success. I need the support of imax technology, but if imax technology wants to be promoted to the global film industry, why doesn't it need a large-scale movie to cooperate with the promotion and play a role in publicity? What about the role?" James Cameron said very directly.

"That's right, I think so too!" The good boss nodded, and then said, "So let's do it!"

"...Are you...agreed?" James Cameron was taken aback for a moment. Is this the deal and cooperation?
"That's right, didn't you say it? This is a good thing for both parties to cooperate and win-win. I have no reason to refuse!"

"Besides, Director Cameron helped me so much today, I can't refuse your invitation even more!"

"Of course, the matter of cooperation is not something we can explain clearly in a few words. If we want to discuss how to cooperate specifically, we can let the two of us discuss it. All cooperation matters, in principle, as long as they do not infringe the interests of our company, the entire The company is able to cooperate with the actions of the crew.”

"If the crew has insufficient funds, you can rent 4 imax cameras from our company in the form of lease"

"As for the price, let's calculate it based on 100 million yuan per year. I think this price is quite fair, and you don't have to spend a year shooting!"

"No problem, I agree with your opinion very much!" James Cameron said immediately, and at the same time he heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart, and his perception of Boss Huang began to increase significantly again.

Although this Chinese man took advantage of him, he was also very straightforward, saving a lot of boring comparisons of interests, which James Cameron liked very much.

As for the little accident before, James Cameron took it as a benefit he gave to Boss Huang.

"By the way, I don't know if the Avatar movie still lacks financial support?" Boss Huang continued to ask.

"Why, Mr. Huang still intends to invest in my movie!" James Cameron's eyes lit up and he asked quickly!

"This is natural. This is the first time director James Cameron has re-shooted a commercial film after a lapse of 7 years. The spread of this news alone may make countless movie fans tremble with excitement! Let alone A newcomer in the film industry like me!"

"So I am very interested in investing in your film, but I think that as soon as the news of your film is announced, there will be countless capitals who are very familiar with you and rush to snatch investment opportunities. All the funds can be transferred in the blink of an eye. Make up for it all, foreign investors like me have no chance to get a foot in your film investment.”

"But even so, I still can't help but want to ask, do I still have the opportunity to invest?" Boss Huang said sincerely.

"Yes, of course, not only there are, but there are many more!" It was probably infected by Boss Huang's straightforward attitude just now, so when he heard Boss Huang's willingness to try to invest, James Cameron immediately did not hesitate To be honest, I didn't even hide my urgency at all.

"So how much money do you lack now?" Boss Huang also asked excitedly.

"One...no...it's two...Damn it, well, I'm actually short of $1 million!" James Cameron changed his words three times before finally saying.

"3 million U.S. dollars... I remember that the investment in Avatar in history was only [-] million U.S. dollars!" Boss Huang rolled his eyes and complained in his heart at the same time.

Feelings Now, the movie Avatar did not raise a dime of investment, but this seems a bit wrong, although no one can predict the amazing box office results that Avatar will achieve in the future like Boss Huang, and at the same time How many amazing peripheral interests have been generated, so those who have broken their heads want to invest in this movie.

But the director who shot this movie is James Cameron. His last work was Titanic. How could such a big director fail to attract investment?

Boss Huang didn't know that James Cameron in history was in a state of financial difficulties in the early stage of Avatar investment and filming. He only got a small part of the investment, and most of the money came from Cameron's own savings. I took it out.

The reason for this situation is mainly because Cameron is determined to use imax technology. Many investors chose to give up when they heard that it was such a movie.

If Cameron uses traditional technology to shoot movies, even if it costs hundreds of millions of dollars in special effects production, those investors will completely ignore them, and then cry and shout to give their money to Cameron.

But imax movies are quite different.

No matter how expensive the cost of shooting an imax movie is, these investors can ignore it, but there is currently only one imax theater in the world, which makes investors very distressed.

So according to the plan, when the movie is released, there may be about 100 imax theaters, but there are only 100 theaters. Even if these 100 theaters show movies 24 hours a year, and every show All the movies are sold out, and the box office is unlikely to exceed [-] million in that year. How can this be done!

So when these investors heard James Cameron's plan, they would give up one after another. At most, they would pay a symbolic $20 million, just throwing it into the water to protect themselves and James Cameron. Mellon, the great director's personal friendship.

So now James Cameron is really short of investment, and all the hair he lacks is about to fall out.

However, after learning this fact, Boss Huang was also very amazed. How could this James Cameron be so big-hearted, and he directly took care of his own resources to make a movie when he didn't even have any money.

This is why Boss Huang doesn't understand the character of James Cameron. He is the kind of guy who decides to do something and will do it regardless.

Even if he doesn't have any money now, he has to prepare the imax technology in advance. As for the funding issue, he has the cheek to go to a few more companies, and just raise an initial fund.

As I said before, there will always be someone who is willing to invest a symbolic $20 million. With his own investment, James Cameron is confident that he can come up with $1 million.

With this 1 million US dollars, you can go to make a movie. Although the 1 million US dollars may have been spent before the preliminary preparations are over, it doesn’t matter. James Cameron only needs to throw this result directly into all investments. Just in front of people.

"You see, half of my big production has been completed, and half of it is still unfinished. If you invest another 1 million US dollars in me, this super blockbuster will be released, and everyone will be able to pay back. If you don't invest in me , then all the previous investment will be thrown into the water, tell me whether you will give me additional investment!"

Well, James Cameron said that who is willing to throw the previous investment into the water, so he can only bite the bullet and follow suit.

It's just that this kind of plot has to be repeated again. When the film is halfway through shooting, the new 1 million US dollars is all spent. Cameron throws the film in front of investors, saying that if he doesn't invest another 1 million US dollars, All the previous $2 million will be wasted.

Good guy, if the director wasn't named James Cameron, the investors would probably beat him to death.But since he is James Cameron, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and continue investing.

Of course, this kind of thing consumes a lot of character. If it weren't for the lack of money, James Cameron would definitely not be willing to do such a thing.

At this time, if Boss Huang is willing to invest, James Cameron is naturally very willing, so he tentatively asked, "I don't know how much Mr. Huang plans to invest? Do you want to invest tens of millions of dollars first?" try?"

"Aren't you short of [-] million?" Boss Huang asked with a frown.

"Yes, it is true that there is a shortfall of [-] million, but I am afraid that you..."

"There is nothing to be afraid of. If you are short of [-] million, I will give you [-] million. Of course, if you don't want so much, I don't care. You can figure it out yourself!"

"Then three hundred million!" James Cameron slapped his thigh.As a result, Boss Huang directly took down this large platter movie that was cobbled together and jointly invested by more than a dozen film companies in Hollywood.

However, this production company does not use the signboard of Marvel Pictures, but the signboard of Tang Ren Pictures. Unless necessary, Marvel Pictures will always only make movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"Mr. Cameron, I have a small suggestion on the script, such as setting up a teleportation array on the planet, and leaving some foreshadowing eggs for the story we call cultivation. What do you think?" Boss Huang finally smiled. suggested.
