In addition, the reviews of "Home Alone" are quite positive, and the media from all over the world almost unanimously said that "Home Alone" is a Christmas movie suitable for all ages.

Therefore, the popularity of "Home Alone" will continue...

In the past, Li Lizhen had only heard that Xu Cun was very powerful, but had never had an intuitive understanding.

It was not until the release of "Home Alone" that she saw with her own eyes the huge reaction caused by "Home Alone" in the world and the numbers that represented money that dazzled her, Li Lizhen didn't know how powerful Xu Cun was.

Before you know it!

Li Lizhen has an infinite admiration for Xu Cun from the bottom of her heart!

but--

Li Lizhen felt a little secret again - Li Lizhen found that Xu Cun seemed to have no interest in her. 【.】

During the recent period of time, apart from being busy with the release of "Home Alone" and the post-production of "Ghost Love", Xu Cun has almost focused all his attention on Deng Lijun's mother and daughter and Bo Anni, and did not even look at her Li Lizhen at a glance.

Moreover, Li Lizhen also discovered one thing - when Bo Anni came to have her period, Xu Cun lived in Yuan Jieying's room.

Also, I don't know since when, Yuan Jieying started to dress up with her hair.

From this, Li Lizhen deduced that Yuan Jieying also climbed onto Xu Cun's bed, and in order to capture Xu Cun's heart or to win other women from Xu Cun, Yuan Jieying began to dress up herself.

With this inference, Li Lizhen suddenly felt that she was surrounded by a group of scheming **** who would do anything to become famous.

After seeing the faces of the people around her, Li Lizhen felt a sense of moral superiority while reflecting on her own mistakes...

...

"Sir, you really should let Mr. Katzenberg look at this script now, it's really good!"

"Sorry, Ms. Hurd, if you want Mr. Katzenberg to see your script, you have to submit it according to the procedure, knowing that every day there are producers like you who come to DreamWorks to invest, and Carson Mr. Berg will only have time to review the scripts you brought in on Tuesday."

"Oh shit! You can't put Terminator with those worthless scripts!"

"..."

Xu Cun, who had just returned to DreamWorks from outside, couldn't help but stop when he heard the word "Terminator"!

Then, Xu Cun looked at the two people who were arguing.

of the two quarreling.

One was from the production department, what was his name, Xu Cun didn't know.

The other was a white woman, probably in her mid-thirties.

Xu Cun said to Li Lizhen behind him, "Azhen, go and invite that lady to my office."

After speaking, Xu Cun went back to his office first.

Not long after, Li Lizhen led the white woman to Xu Cun's office.

The white woman is familiar. As soon as she entered the door, she introduced herself: "Hello, Mr. Xu, I'm Gail Anne Hurd, a producer at New World Pictures."

Nowadays, the whole of Hollywood knows that there is an oriental man named Xu Cun who is a Hollywood upstart, and he is also a super rich upstart. So, knowing that Xu Cun wanted to see him, Gail Anne Hurd felt that his good luck was coming!

"Ms. Hurd, can I read the script you brought first?" Xu Cun said directly.

"Of course!" Gail Anne Hurd said with a smile. Then, she sent the script to Xu Cun's desk.

Xu Cun picked up the script and flipped through it, confirming that the script was indeed Cameron's "Terminator".

After reading the script, Xu Cun said, "It's a very good script."

After listening to Xu Cun's evaluation, Gail Anne Hurd was overjoyed - Gail Anne Hurd vaguely felt that she might be able to draw a lot of money from Xu Cun.

Gail Anne Hurd suppressed the joy in his heart and complimented: "Mr. Xu, you are really insightful!"

Xu Cun ignored Gail Anne Hurd's compliment, but said bluntly: "The director and screenwriter marked on the script is James Cameron, can I meet Mr. Cameron?"

"Oh, Mr. Xu, in fact, I am also the screenwriter of "Terminator", and you talk to me the same way." Gail Anne Hurd said.

"Ms. Hurd, you can't answer my question, because it requires a lot of professional knowledge." Xu Cun said honestly.

"This..." Gail Anne Hurd hesitated.

Xu Cun didn't give Gail Anne Hurd time to hesitate, he directly pushed the script of "Terminator" forward and said: "The investment of this film may require four million or more, I can't This large sum of money was handed over to someone who couldn't convince me, sorry, Madam Heard, please take it back."

"Oh, Mr. Xu, you can't be so hasty to turn down an opportunity that might make you a lot of money! In fact, Mr. Cameron is in the cafe opposite, just ten, oh no, just five minutes, and he I can appear in front of you." Gail Anne Hurd said quickly.

Hearing this, Xu Cun made a 'please' gesture.

Seeing that Xu Cun was willing to give himself a chance, Gail Anne Hurd hurriedly went to Cameron.

Not long after.

Gail Anne Hurd and Cameron appeared in front of Xu Cun.

From the fine sweat on the foreheads of Gail Anne Hurd and Cameron, it is not difficult to see that they are in a hurry, and it is not difficult to infer that they want to pull the investment from Xu Cun to "The Terminator".

After Gail Anne Hurd and Cameron were out of breath, Xu Cun asked Cameron some technical questions symbolically.

Then, Xu Cun asked Cameron: "Mr. Cameron, how much do you need for the production of this movie?"

When he heard Xu Cun's intention to invest in "Terminator", Cameron quickly said, "Five million."

Xu Cun did not question that the amount of money Cameron said was not enough to shoot "Terminator", but said directly: "I can invest this money."

Gail Anne Hurd and Cameron were overjoyed when they heard that Xu Cun was willing to invest!

but--

Gail Anne Hurd and Cameron were not happy for long, because Xu Cun quickly added: "However, I want the full copyright of Terminator."

Hearing what Xu Cun said, Gail Anne Hurd immediately said excitedly: "Oh, no! Mr. Xu, you can't do this, the copyright of "Terminator" is mine!"

Xu Cun glanced at Gail Anne Hurd and said, "Ms. Hurd, I don't understand why you shouted that the copyright of "Terminator" is yours in front of me, who invested all the production fees, do you Do you think I'm obligated to help you make money and fame by investing millions of dollars?"

After Xu Cun finished speaking, Gail Anne Hurd opened his mouth several times, but was unable to say anything to refute.

Cameron said: "Mr. Xu, I have a request - the content of the script cannot be modified at will, and I want the final editing right of "Terminator"."

Cameron's first directorial work "Piranha 2" was filmed in Italy. Cameron did not get along well with the Italian-speaking staff. After the shooting, the producer did not despise him. Involve him in the final editing of the film. In a fit of rage, Cameron pried open the studio door with a credit card, managed to learn how to use an Italian editing machine, and edited the entire film himself in a few weeks.

After that, Cameron made up his mind: never let outsiders touch his movies again.

That is, while in Italy, Cameron suffered from disease, hunger and poverty. The harrowing experience haunted him every night, and at one time he had a very clear nightmare: he was being hunted by a killer robot from the future. According to the content of the nightmare, Cameron wrote the script "Terminator".

Xu Cun smiled at Cameron and said, "I'm also a director, and I know what directors hate the most. Trust me, Mr. Cameron, I won't do anything you hate."

After listening to Xu Cun's assurance, Cameron's affection for Xu Cun greatly increased, he gave Xu Cun a slight nod, and then said to Gail Anne Hurd: "Annie, since Mr. Xu is responsible for the "Terminator" All production fees~www.wuxiamtl.com~ I think the copyright of "Terminator" should belong to him."

"Oh, James, you can't do this to me! You sold me the script for "Terminator", and you said it was mine forever." Gail Anne Hurd said excitedly.

"But that's only a dollar, isn't it?" Cameron said with anger.

"But you can't deny that it's because of my hard work that you can get the investment in "Terminator"!" Gail Anne Hurd emphasized.

"Oh, okay... Then what do you say?" Cameron said helplessly.

After persuading Cameron, Gail Anne Hurd turned to Xu Cun and said, "Mr. Xu, you won't let me hand over the copyright of "Terminator" for nothing?"

Xu Cun glanced at Gail Anne Hurd, and then at Cameron, who looked helpless, and said, "I don't ask who the copyright of 'Terminator' belongs to, because it means this to me. It doesn't matter - if you want me to invest in "Terminator", you have to give me the copyright of "Terminator"... Of course, I will not ask for the copyright of "Terminator" for nothing, I will pay thirty for it $10,000 or 1 percent of the box office."

Hearing what Xu Cun said, Gail Anne Hurd hesitated and said, "Mr. Xu, you should be more generous. You must know that James is still the director of Terminator."

Xu Cun said resolutely: "I can only pay so much. You must know that Mr. Cameron is just an unknown newcomer after all."

Cameron was very satisfied with the conditions given by Xu Cun, and he also agreed with the positioning Xu Cun gave him! Therefore, Cameron, who was anxious to get the investment, did not give Gail Anne Hurd another chance to make a price, and agreed directly: "Deal!"
