Chapter 654

Hollywood in the 70s and early 90s belonged to Lucas and Spielberg. Since then, the two sci-fi special effects masters have gradually given way, and their successor is James Cameron.

In Wang Xiaohu's memory, the top ten global box office myths in his previous life are all firmly in Cameron's hands. Whether it is "Titanic" or "Avatar", he has become one of the most powerful directors in Hollywood.

Wang Xiaohu is now very thankful that he met Cameron in the theater back then, and sent him a business card by accident. Unexpectedly, after a few years, this guy really came to his door. For the things that were sent to the door for nothing, Wang Xiaohu never If you don't know how to be polite, you will take what you need, and you will accept what you need.

However, Wang Xiaohu is very clear that Cameron is not as easy to be educated as Lucas or Spielberg, especially through the communication just now, he can clearly feel that Cameron just wants to use his Concord Company as a Springboard to jump to a higher position.

Therefore, Wang Xiaohu is still on guard against Cameron. The most effective way to guard against Cameron's betrayal in the future is to get the scripts of "Titanic", "Avatar" and "True Lies" more than ten years ahead. There is nothing in the world that is more convincing than copyright, and the enforcement of American judges is N grades higher than that of Hong Kong judges.

And for this guy who is good at burning money and disobedient to management, Wang Xiaohu also has to be on his guard. Who made Wang Xiaohu's impression in his previous life not as good as that of Lucas or Spielberg? Of course, this reason is a bit reluctant.

But considering his own interests, Wang Xiaohu feels that what he does is not despicable. I use whatever methods to deal with people. I am making money in Hollywood. Anything that has anything to do with making money, regardless of whether he is a person or a thing, as long as you don’t If it comes out, I will plagiarize it for myself, as for how you develop in the future, that is your own business.

Typical "bringing doctrine", no, it should be "gangsterism", but Wang Xiaohu robbed something that some people will have in the future, and the person involved didn't know it.

"Sharon, it's me, James, yes, dear, I have good news for you, Tiger Wang has bought my script." Cameron happily reported to his wife on the phone, "Listen to me , and I also successfully signed a contract with Xiehe, yes, I did not deceive you, Tiger Wang and I did know each other, this is absolutely true, not a dream"

James Cameron was talking to his wife about what had happened on the phone, while Wang Xiaohu watched with a smile on his shoulders. What he didn't expect was that Cameron was already married, but in his memory, it seemed that there were more than one wife of Lao Ka. Either four or five.

Among all the wives of Lao Ka, Wang Xiaohu only knows the actor who is about to be the heroine in "Terminator". Actors become the most valuable divorce benefits in the world.

Thinking about the upcoming filming of "The Terminator", I believe that when Lao Ka becomes famous, that is the day when he and his wife say goodbye.

"Hey, foreigners are good at tossing around." Wang Xiaohu shook his head and sighed.

The staff led Cameron to go through the relevant entry procedures, and finally took an apartment key from Wang Xiaohu. Who made the current Kame director face a terrible situation in terms of career and family, and Wang Xiaohu, as his The boss can't watch the employees sleep on the street, right?
Winning the copyright of "Terminator" means that Wang Xiaohu can create another series of movies that attract money after "Star Wars", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "First Blood" and "Rocky".

"If the "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" series are produced later, the world's top-grossing movies in the future should belong to Xiehe, right?" Wang Xiaohu thought shamelessly. At the same time, he also thought of "Iron Man", "Spider-Man" ", "Transformers" and other series.

"That's right, "Transformers"!" Wang Xiaohu patted his head. In recent years, he has been busy cooperating with the mainland and tinkering with national films, but he almost forgot about this important event!

"Transformers" can be described as one of the most successful commercial cartoons in history. It has achieved unprecedented success in both the toy market and the audio market, so that it became popular all over the world in the 80s and set off a wave of "Transformers" craze. .

At present, Concord has established a cooperative relationship with Hasbro toy company of the United States for many years. Whether it is the earliest "Star Wars" toy model series, or various weapons of "Mythology", they are all developed in cooperation with it, even if it is about to be released. "Mulan", Wang Xiaohu also plans to cooperate with them.

Some people may ask why Wang Xiaohu doesn't set up his own toy company to make it alone?

In fact, the reason is very simple. Wang Xiaohu only treats it as a reproduction of the movie, and his main energy is devoted to the production of the movie. Besides, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to set up a toy company, and he doesn't know any talents in this field. , without the slightest management experience, it is better to cooperate with a large company with many years of experience like Hasbro.

I just need to let Industrial Light and Magic draw the concept drawing of Transformers according to my own memory, and then throw it to Hasbro, sign a contract with dividends and wait to count the money. How nice is this comfortable thing.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohu immediately called Lucas.

"Hey, George, come to my office if you have time, wow, the post-production of "Star Wars 2" is completed?! This is definitely good news, okay, by the way, call that guy Steven over. "

In the afternoon, an excited Lucas and a dejected Spielberg appeared in Wang Xiaohu's office.

As soon as they met, Wang Xiaohu saw Spielberg's evasive look, and couldn't help joking: "Steven, why is this expression? Is it because "ET" didn't win the Oscar and I feel unconvinced?"

Spielberg put on an expression of "so you know", and Lucas next to him laughed and said, "Boss, he is a little afraid of seeing you now, not only because of the Oscars, but also because of the Palme d'Or."

"Hmm." Wang Xiaohu leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Spielberg with a smile. The latter wished he could bury his head in his crotch.

"Dude, it's actually very easy to win prizes, there's a trick to it."

"What's the trick!" Spielberg immediately raised his head when he heard the words, and fixed his eyes on the young boss. The scorching eyes showed how much he was persistent and looking forward to winning the award at the moment.

The awards mentioned in the conversation between the two are not ordinary awards such as best photography, best art, and best special effects, but best director, best film, etc., which are of sufficient weight, including Oscar, Cannes or Golden Globe. ball award.

"Such as ethnicity, artistry, rationality, or the reflections brought about by various characters in the face of a catastrophe." Wang Xiaohu first stated the main points, and then continued to explain: "National things don't need to look at other things, "Mulan" is The best example, although the previous "First Blood" was very successful at the box office, it only resonated in the United States. In addition, we have been focusing on commercial aspects of the film over the years, and indirectly ignored other aspects. "

Spielberg nodded when he heard the words, his dejected face suddenly brightened, and he suddenly said excitedly: "Boss, I recently received a novel, which fits the points you mentioned."

"Oh?" Wang Xiaohu frowned, thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence.So he smiled and said, "What kind of novel? I seem to remember that you never liked reading novels. I forced you to read "Jaws" back then."

"No, no, it's not that kind of ordinary novel. It's a novel that shocked me after reading it. I've never read it so carefully. Boss, I want to shoot it."

Spielberg's tone was so expectant that it aroused Wang Xiaohu's curiosity.

"Steven, tell me about that novel."

"The novel was mailed by my friend. It was written by the Australian novelist Thomas Coneares. It is called "Schindler's List." Then Spielberg began to dictate the content of the novel.

But as for Wang Xiaohu, he was extremely shocked in his inner world. He really didn't expect another accidental accident to happen today. Spielberg's "Schindler's List," which won a bunch of Oscars, can only be described as coincidence.

When Spielberg finished telling the story with great interest, he found that the young boss was in deep thought, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Boss, I think this novel fits the award-winning features you listed just now."

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said undeniably: "Yes, there is no doubt that this novel is of great significance to the times, but"

"But what?" Spielberg pressed.

"But are you sure you can show the essence of the novel through the camera now?" Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said, "Buy the novel first and give you enough time to prepare. Lose a classic novel, Steven, if I remember correctly, you are a Jew, so don’t waste things from your own nation so easily.”

Wang Xiaohu’s remarks are entirely in good faith. Yes, he was also very happy when he first heard about “Schindler’s List”, because this is Spielberg’s award-winning masterpiece, but the timing is really immature now. Although Spielberg has experienced the precipitation of several blockbuster films and accumulated some experience, it is impossible for him to complete this masterpiece with his current level of directing.

"Boss, you are right." Spielberg had to admit this, and he was deeply moved by the boss' last sentence that ethnic things should not be spoiled.

"Okay, let's stop this matter first, let's discuss about cartoons, Lucas, hey, Lucas, are you still listening? Damn it, you fell asleep."
