Chapter 653 Concord's Fourth Director

703
If it wasn't for the white business card raised in the young man's hand, if it wasn't for the content of the script dictated by him, Wang Xiaohu would have almost forgotten about it.

It was vaguely when "Jaws" premiered, and Wang Xiaohu gave his personal business card to a young truck driver named James Cameron in the theater. Unexpectedly, a few years later, he had already forgotten this matter in the In the back of my head, people actually came to my door.

Now, without looking at the young man's appearance, Wang Xiaohu can be sure that he is Cameron, the "tyrant" who has been turned into a paranoid and money-burning machine by his Hollywood counterparts.

When talking about James Cameron, people can't help but mention another outstanding commercial film director, Steven Spielberg. Being able to be compared with this twentieth-century film giant shows that Cameron Long's lofty status in people's minds.

"Hi, James, long time no see, how are you?"

Seeing Cameron with his back turned to him, almost pleading to sell his new script to Winterdur, Wang Xiaohu couldn't stand it anymore.

After hearing this voice, Cameron turned his head suddenly, and the face that was crying because of begging suddenly became bright when he saw Wang Xiaohu.

"Hey, Tiger, God, I actually met Tiger." Cameron threw away the "Terminator" concept map in his hand, came up two steps ahead to hold Wang Xiaohu's hand, and said excitedly: "No, I'm not doing well, in fact I'm terrible right now!"

"Boss" Winterdur spread his hands in embarrassment. He really didn't expect the young man to know his boss. It seems that his situation is not good.

Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said, "Old Wen, what you did was not wrong. I don't mean to blame you. You can do your work first. I have something to discuss with James."

After all, he patted Cameron on the shoulder and said, "Man, pick up your precious concept maps and talk to me next door."

"Of course, of course!" Cameron bent down excitedly to pick up those concept drawings again, and he still stuck out his tongue at Winterdur before going out.

In the president's office of Xiehe International Film Group, Wang Xiaohu greeted Cameron, "Sit wherever you want."

"Thank you. I'm so excited now." Cameron danced excitedly, not knowing what to say for a while.

"I, I saw in the newspaper that you won the Palme d'Or, and then I came to Los Angeles from Italy to find you, but the people in your company don't seem to be interested in me."

Wang Xiaohu chuckled and said, "It's not that I don't have interest, but that I don't have time. You should know that we are working hard to promote "Mulan", and there is not much time left for them."

"Of course, I have seen it." After Cameron finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the business of his trip, and he hurriedly placed the script and concept map on Wang Xiaohu's desk: "Tiger, can you help me read the script?" ?"

"Hot discussion service." Wang Xiaohu smiled and opened the script to read. I have to say that the script is quite bad. Cameron doesn't seem to be proficient in script creation, and neither the format nor the format meets the standards that a script should have. , but he still watched it very patiently.

That's right, this script is indeed "The Terminator", Wang Xiaohu is very sure, he secretly luckily came at the right time, if he came one step later, I am afraid that this movie has become one of the top ten science fiction movies in his previous life slips out of hand.

"James, the plot is well written, I like it very much." Wang Xiaohu closed the script, picked up a concept drawing of a full-body metal skull burning in flames in front of him and said, "This thing is also very good, did you draw it yourself?"

"Yes, I drew it myself." Excited, Cameron rubbed his hands together and said, "I had a very clear and terrifying dream during filming in Italy. "

"I think the word time travel can better express your meaning." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Yes! It's time travel, hey, this word is really great, and that's what I want to say." Cameron said happily: "I dreamed that I was killed by a machine killer who traveled from the future. A nightmare, I woke up drenched, you know what, it just freaked me out, it wasn't a human, it was a metal skeleton with sparks all over it, like that one you just picked up Same concept map."

After Cameron finished talking about the source of the "Terminator" story, he sighed and grabbed his hair with both hands and began to tell Wang Xiaohu about his experiences in Hollywood over the years.

It all started when I watched "Jaws" in theaters. At that time, Kai Melon was a truck driver and a part-time mechanical maintenance worker. When "Star Wars" set off a wave of science fiction movies, he realized that he loved He got into the film industry, so he quit his job as a truck driver and came to Hollywood to try his luck.

Obviously, Cameron's luck is quite good, he entered Roger Coleman's company to make models for small-budget films.Soon, he got the chance to direct "Piranha 2".

This so-called directorial debut film by Cameron was shot entirely in Italy, but he didn't get along well with the Italian-speaking staff. First, he was a handyman on the set. Second, after the filming was completed, the producer Out of contempt for the fledgling director, he was not allowed to participate in the final editing of the film, and his ambitious film was changed beyond recognition.

Seeing that his hard work was about to be ruined, Cameron pried open the door of the studio with his credit card, learned how to use an Italian editing machine, and edited the entire film by himself in a few weeks.During this process, Cameron made up his mind that he would no longer work for anyone and must make his own movie.

During the filming of "Piranha 2", Cameron suffered from disease, hunger and poverty.The painful experience made him haunted by nightmares every night, and the inspiration for "Terminator" came from one of the nightmares.

"My sympathy for what has happened to you over the years, man."

After listening to Cameron talk about his bad experience in Hollywood, Wang Xiaohu sat down next to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Hey, James, all the bad past is over, what I want to say is, you I want this script, and"

"Really, haha, this is the most exciting good news I've heard in the past few years!" Cameron couldn't help jumping up, his hands kept dancing back and forth, and he seemed a little over excited for a while.

Isn't it because of this that he kept coming to Xiehe International Film Group to trouble Winterdur today? Now that Wang Xiaohu has agreed to ask for his script, this is even more exciting than when he got rid of his virginity back then.

"And what?" After calming down, Cameron found that Wang Xiaohu was looking at him with a smile, so he clenched his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now."

"It's nothing, the way you were happy just now made me look happy for you." Wang Xiaohu patted the sofa and said, "James, sit down and listen to me."

After Cameron sat down, Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "From now on, I will officially hire you as the director of Concorde International Film Group to prepare this movie that scared you. I don't know how you feel. ?”

"No problem!" Cameron just got off the sofa, feeling that his appearance would leave a bad impression on Wang Xiaohu, so he sat down heavily, his already fine white skin was glowing red with excitement, and his ten fingers kept moving. Knocking on his thigh, one can imagine the excitement in his heart at this time.

"OK, you are welcome to be a member of Concorde. You are the director hired by No.4 company after Lucas, Spielberg, and Stallone."

Whether it is Lucas, Spielberg or Stallone, the three are top Hollywood directors. ET", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and other excellent products, and each box office has exceeded 3 million.

The latter set off an upsurge in American "tough guy" and "hero" films with "Rocky" and "First Blood", and is an idol in the minds of American teenagers.

Being able to work with these three big directors and stars in the same company, Cameron wished he could stand on the top of the Statue of Liberty and announce his joy and happiness to the world!
"God, the United States is really a country full of dreams!" Cameron shouted in his heart, but he was pressing so hard that his heart pumped blood to his brain at a high speed, which was about to make him The feeling of suffocation is simply wonderful.

"Hey, are you okay?" Seeing this, Wang Xiaohu couldn't help crying and laughing, "If you feel like you can't hold back, just call out, no one here will laugh at you."

"Huh!" Cameron let out a long breath, with his mouth wide open, and he jumped up from the sofa with clenched fists, raised his head to the ceiling and yelled silently for a long time, then turned around limply and said: "Boss, starting today, I, James Cameron, will be your employee!"

"Yes, that's what it means." Wang Xiaohu stood up with a smile, clapped his hands and said, "Welcome to Xiehe."

"This feeling is so good! My God, I am actually the director of Xiehe!"

"First go to the HR department to sign a contract, then take your director's license to report to the directors' union, and then hand over your terrible script to the company's screenwriter department, let them polish it, and then" Wang Xiaohu rubbed He rubbed his nose and said, "Submit me a list of actors and a cost plan."

"YES, SIR!" Cameron promised loudly, "Boss, can I use the office phone, I want to tell my wife the good news."
