“Hello, Mr. Jia!” Jon Landau carefully looked at the youngster in front of him for a few times, and he couldn’t help but feel a little skeptical. Is this youngster really capable of accepting 1.35100000000 million investment, just like Director Chen Da said? ?

At the same time, Director Chen Da, who followed behind, also watched Boss Jia nervously. He only hoped that when the time comes Boss Jia refused, he could give himself a little face and at the same time find a suitable reason not to let himself. It’s too ugly, let alone let your own cowhide explode.

“Hello, Mr. Landau!” Boss Jia also listened to shaking hands with Jon Landau. This boss, Boss Jia, knew him and was the producer of the Titanic in history. I didn’t expect Director Chen to get acquainted with him. Yes, it really did a good thing.

“This is the situation!” Jon Landau gave a general introduction to the “Titanic” situation.

In fact, the movie Titanic is not what 20th Century Fox wanted to make. In fact, 20th Century Fox never considered making a shipwreck movie.

This film is a film that was made by the former truck driver, James Cameron voluntarily proposed.

James Cameron used to be a truck driver. Later, after watching the planet Wars series in the cinema, he discovered that truck driver is a career with no future at all (it’s a real thanks to him that he only discovered it at this time), and filming is the greatest of.

So James Cameron declared himself a film director without any professional film education.

Not to mention, after to go through arduous training or hard work in Hollywood, James Cameron actually became a director.

First, the shooting of “piranha 2” gained a certain reputation and capital

In 1984, he raised a fund to write and direct a movie called The Terminator.

This movie is certainly no stranger to everyone. It became popular with Governor Schwarzenegger, and by the way, at a cost of $65010000, it won a global box office of 680010000.

After that, Cameron wrote and directed the film “Alien 2”, which is also a movie that everyone is no stranger to. It won the global box office of 1100000000 million 200010000 and 7 Oscar nominations.

Then there was “Terminator 2”, this sequel movie that truly pushed the Terminator series to a glorious sequel. It won the total box office of 2100000000 million in North America and 5100000000 million worldwide.

Anyway, the director’s performance in Hollywood is simply a monster. A movie is higher than the other, and each one can achieve amazing achievements. When such a director once again proposed to write and direct himself to shoot a new movie. When filming, naturally no film company would refuse.

At first, after Cameron released the news of the new movie, all six major Hollywood studios were incarnation licking dogs and wanted to invest in this new Cameron movie.

But when Cameron pulled out the script for the new movie, all the six major studios backed down.

The reason is simple, the film investment is too large, and the subject matter is too small.

Cameron naturally took out the script of the Titanic, but at this time the whole script was still very rough, with only a simple outline.

When the six major film companies finished reading the script and discovered that Cameron was planning to make a disaster film about a historical shipwreck, they all flinched.

This movie is too niche. American audiences have never had the habit of watching this kind of movie. And the only shipwreck movie in history that also cost the investment company at that time. Several millions of dollars in investment only earned a few hundred thousand dollars in the box office, which was a mess.

More importantly, the film company does not see any selling point for a shipwreck movie.

There is neither the horror of the alien series nor the fierce fighting of the Terminator series. More importantly, the script of this movie is actually the main story of love. Most of the shipwreck movie is actually describing love.

Even worse, the actor died in the end.

To be reasonable, in 1993, you put together such a factor of shipwreck + love + abuse to make a movie, and you also required an investment of $1.35100000000 million in one go. A fool would believe that this movie could become popular.

Anyway, if such a story were published at the beginning, countless Shennong would definitely be vilified by countless Shennong, and then the author was deliberately authored, and I would abandon it.

Because audiences who like to watch love movies and disaster movies are simply not on the same channel, this kind of movie does not have any excitement at all.

It may be okay to engage in literary and artistic films, but if you want to become a commercial blockbuster with an investment of $1.35100000000 million, such themes and scripts are simply impossible.

In fact, the idea of ​​the six major Hollywood film companies was not at all wrong. Later, China also invested in a two-episode movie called Taipinglun. The famous Chinese-speaking director Wu Yusen was invited, Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Jincheng, etc. Such as a series of international first-line movie stars, the investment is as high as 6 US dollars.

Anyway, a series of settings, plots, and casting are all for the Titanic.

As a result, the top and bottom two were added together, and the global box office was less than 2…… Brackets…… Renminbi, the loss was a mess.

In fact, the quality of this movie is quite good. Although it has the shortcomings of procrastination and insufficient special effects, in general, the quality can kill 90% of domestic movies.

But the box office was a fiasco, and the audience had no interest. It perfectly met the expectations of all Hollywood studios for the Titanic in 1993.

So, don’t blame these Hollywood film companies that they look down on people and have no vision. They can only say that Cameron is too awesome. The US dollar is also really fragrant. The most important thing is that the birth of movies happens to be in the era of the full explosion of computer effects. Let the audience see unprecedented special effects scenes in the movie, which is the most important.

But only Boss Jia knows these things, and the six major Hollywood studios don’t know it!

Therefore, the box office of 1.35100000000 plus the script of the Titanic immediately persuaded 6 of the 5 major film companies to retreat, only 20th Century Fox was still hesitating.

Because the CEO of 20th Century Fox happens to be a CEO who likes to invest in special effects blockbusters, he also has a soft spot for special effects blockbusters, so he hesitated.

Cameron took the opportunity to post it up and portrayed countless bright futures to 20th Century Fox. For example, it was certain to make a lot of money. In the end, 20th Century Fox was really fudged, and the two parties signed an investment and shooting contract.

But the problem is that the contract has been signed and 20th Century Fox regrets it. This is an investment of US$1.35100000000 million. You must know that the book of 20th Century Fox at that time was only US$800010000.

Of course, if 20th Century Fox is determined to invest in filming even if it borrows from the bank, it will be easy to spend $1.35100000000 million.

However, the board of 20th Century Fox insisted on disapproving. After reading the script of the movie, the board members, like other film companies, felt that this movie was definitely a loser. U.S. audiences would not comment on such a special effect. + Love + Shipwreck + The movie of the dead boy is interested, they will never approve Fox to rely on borrowing money to invest.

This made 20th Century Fox very painful. Historically, they delayed for a full year, until the Cameron movie “True Lies” was filmed, and they did not have the predetermined funds in place.

In the end, Jon Landau ran to find the boss behind 20th Century Fox, the president of News Corporation and the son-in-law of the Chinese people, Mr. Murdoch, for a cordial communication. Finally, Murdoch nodded agreed and approved the investment plan. , So that 20th Century Fox borrowed a loan, just calculated that 1.35100000000 million dollars was enough to start filming the Titanic.

At this time, when the Titanic was just established, Jon Landau has not been forced to find Murdoch. Now he is just crazy looking for partners who are willing to invest to jointly invest in the filming of this movie. .

In this way, the risk does not need to be borne by 20th Century Fox alone.

But at this time the name of the Titanic has spread throughout the Hollywood investment circle, and all the five major film companies rejected it. When the board of 5th Century Fox also rejected it, naturally none of these investors was optimistic about the future of Titanic. , Jon Landau searched Hollywood and Wall Street investors, none of them were willing to invest.

When he was a little desperate, he happened to meet Director Chen Da at a business party and heard him boast about his “Farewell My Concubine” story.

Especially during that period, he rushed into the investor’s office alone, and spent 5 hours persuading the unsightly investor to invest in his own “Farewell My Concubine” and finally achieved the legendary story of success.

And this investor is still very rich, with assets of 100000000 million US dollars and so on.

Then Boss Jia was targeted by Jon Landau.
