Chapter 508: Big ship

Stan Winston said: "Since you have this idea in your heart, I think you have at least 90% confidence. Roland and I will not play with you this 10% winning percentage.

Eric is trying to continue with the words 'Following the temptation', a voice rang around three people: "What gambling appointment, have I missed a wonderful topic?"
Looking around, James Cameron, who was wearing a mess of hair, came over to them.
The three got up and greeted Cameron, sat down again and talked about the gambling contract. Cameron also laughed and reacted like Stan Winston: "No gambling, who doesn't know you and Colombia." The gambling promise, again, more than a decade ago, "Star Wars" can get more than 700 million US dollars at the box office. Over the past decade, the emergence of a global billion-dollar box office movie is an inevitable thing. Saying that one billion, in the future, two billion or three billion will not be a problem."
Several people laughed again.
Eric saw that the three did not jump, and did not mention the matter just now. He pointed to Cameron as if he had just sneaked out from the deep forest. "Hey, Jim, you will not be robbed." Is it?"
"Of course not, I have been on the boat for two months, it will be like this," Cameron licked his unkempt hair.
Roland Emmerich and Cameron are not very familiar with it. It is a bit stunned to hear this, but Eric and Stan Winston are all aware of Cameron's diving preferences.
Stan Winston asked: "Jim, where did you go diving this time?"
Cameron Road: "The North Atlantic, we went to see a big ship that sank to the bottom of the sea 80 years ago."
"Titanic?" Eric blurted out of consciousness.
Cameron had some accidents: "Eric, how did you know?"
Eric realized his mistakes. I quickly found a reason: "You just said that the North Atlantic, the ship that sank 80 years ago, I can think of the Titanic that sank in the first voyage in 1912."
Cameron did not question Eric's words, and some excitedly screamed: "It's the Titanic. We hired a submarine to go down and watch the big ship. Even after eighty years, it still looks like a big one. Big guy, but broke into two. We originally planned to enter the cabin to look at it, but the submarine is too big to enter. I plan to find someone to make a robot that can automatically perform underwater photography. Once again, you can use the robot to enter the cabin to find out."
"In this case, it is estimated that your credit card has been smashed again?" Stan Winston asked with a sneak peek. Renting a submarine is not something that ordinary people can afford. Cameron’s director’s pay has already reached Top level. It is a pity that the number of films has not been much since the debut, and it has only been filmed for an average of two or three years. It is difficult to support the expensive hobby of Cameron.
"So I can only come back from the Atlantic," Cameron laughed and did not evade this matter. He turned to look at Eric and said: "Eric, "The Real Lie" is not included in this year's system. Are you planning a project, why you haven’t talked to Arnold yet. If you don’t plan to make Arno a actor, I think it’s better to choose other actors earlier.

"The starring must be Arnold's, but the contract is not anxious. Anyway, "true lies" will start in the second half of the year, and it is not too late to talk to him in June."
Cameron’s three people all showed a puzzled expression.

Why do you want to do this?
asked Roland Emmerich.
Eric’s mouth shook his head with a smile, making it mysterious:
You will know when you get there.

What Stan Winston remembered, tempted and asked: "Is it related to Arnold's next movie? I remember that he was involved in an action movie called "Phantom Hero" by Carol Pictures. The director is " John McTiernan, the first director of the Die Hard Dragon series. Just the special effect of this movie is our responsibility, oh... it should be the Neil team. But the special effects are not many, at the end of last year. It has been completed. The release time should be in June."
Cameron is obviously an acute one and asks: "Eric, are you not optimistic about the movie?"
Since Stan Winston broke, Eric did not hide, nodded: "I have collected some of the "Phantom Heroes" information, you all know that most of Arnold's fans are through Jim's " The Terminator series was rallied, but this "Phantom Hero" is an action film that focuses on the children's market. There are few fans in the "Terminator" series..."
Having said that, Eric made a shrug expression.
The other three also understood that Arnold Schwarzenegger’s pay was $15 million. Now, when he talks to the other party about the "real lies", the price will definitely not fall, but if the "Phantom Hero" box office fails In order to restore popularity, Arnold Schwarzenegger will definitely choose to reduce the pay.
Cameron thought for a moment and suggested: "Eric, even if the "Phantom Hero" box office is somewhat unsatisfactory, but Arnold's reputation is there, even if the pay is reduced, it will not drop too much, it is better to put the contract earlier. It is best to sign it down."
"Patience waiting for a few months, Jim, I promise that Arnold will agree to it when he arrives."
Cameron heard Eric say this, shrugged, and did not continue to persuade. The script of "The Real Lie" was originally introduced to him by Eric, compared to the original "Terminator" card. Mellon’s interest in The Real Lies is not too great, and the film was made purely to make money. Although he and Arnold Schwarzenegger are good friends, but fireflies are investors after all, Eric is also his friend, Cameron is not likely to argue with Arroy for Arno, Hollywood is in line with "real" There are still a lot of action stars in the lie. In addition, Cameron himself has a lot of Arno's acting skills. He can change a actor with better acting skills, and he will not refuse.
"In this case, then you have a few in your heart."
After Cameron finished, he was asking about what interesting things have been done in the field of Stan Winston digital. Eric once again mentioned the thing: "Speaking of the Titanic, I remember seeing in the newspaper a few days ago that cbs TV station is currently planning a TV series about the Titanic, Jim, is there any interest in this subject?

"TV drama? No, no, I won't spend my time on the director's TV series. It's a waste of time, and the budget of the TV series is too small to do anything good," Cameron shook his head. I quickly raised my interest: "But if it's a movie, I can think about it."
Eric said: "Of course it is a movie."
Cameron stared at Eric for a few seconds. I asked: "Eric, you are sure that you are serious."
"Do you think I am joking?"
"That's good..." Cameron wants to say something, remembering that he has signed a contract with Fireflies, and he has to say: "When I finish "The Real Lie," I will start preparing for the movie."
Stan Winston suddenly smiled and said: "Eric. You don't want to be fooled by Jim. His so-called preparation is definitely to let the fireflies pay for the deep sea research ship and continue his hobby."
Cameron is not convinced: "Hey, Stan, if you really want to make such a movie, a detailed examination of the Titanic is a must."
Eric told Cameron: "Jim, if you feel it is necessary, the fireflies can provide you with money."
Cameron immediately showed a happy expression, and also made a fist punch on Stan Winston, if there is a big gold support such as fireflies. He is able to implement an underwater research program that he could not afford, oh, of course, this is definitely for the movie.
Eric looked at Cameron’s excited look and thought,
But I have a condition.

"You said." Cameron’s mood was obviously good at this time.
Eric said: "I can give you the most permission and the most relaxed budget for this movie, but I want the decision of the heroine."
Cameron showed a cautious expression and considered the pros and cons of losing for a while. I have confirmed it again: "Eric, you are sure that as long as I give the decision of the heroine to you, the other aspects of the film from the preliminary preparation to the final editing are decided by me alone, right?"
Eric pointed to Stan Winston and Roland Emmerich and said, "Yes, Stan and Roland are here, they can testify for what I am today."
Stan Winston and Roland Emmerich, though they didn't know why Eric suddenly came to a whim, but nodded together.
"So, the deal," Cameron immediately raised his hand, as if he was afraid that Eric would regret it.
Eric and Cameron slammed the palm: "That's it."
Cameron retracted his hand and licked his mouth and said: "Hey, let me say, I have a good idea now, or do you listen first?"
Eric watched Cameron's eagerness to try, and immediately interrupted his words: "Jim, don't forget, you have to finish the "true lies" first."
Cameron waved his hand: "Of course, as long as the preliminary work of "Real Lies" is completed, I can start up tomorrow, or listen to the idea about Titanic first. First of all, I think this is a love story...

Cameron gave the script idea of ​​"Titanic", the general idea is not different from the original version. When Eric left, Cameron even started to discuss some special effects details with Stan Winston. .
At the rhythm of Cameron's filmmaking, "The Real Lie" was released in the summer of 1994, then the "Titanic" is estimated to wait until 1995 to start, the release time is even more unpredictable.
Eric didn't want to make this miraculous movie himself, but with his current affair, it was hard to spend a few years concentrating on making a movie, and not even getting Cameron. The quality of the film is demanding to the point of nitpicking. You must know that in the original time and space, the Titanic only took 160 days to shoot, and it took more than two years to release the final film from the project.
Although I don't know what this time and space "Titanic" will become, Eric believes that as long as it is equivalent to the quality of the original, even if it still costs 200 million US dollars, the cost recovery is certainly no problem. And, very importantly, this time Eric took the decision of the heroine in advance, and finally was able to pick a satisfying heroine.
Throughout January 1993, Eric spent the late stages of making Jurassic Park. At the end of January, the 50th American Film and Television Golden Globe Award, Eric did not go to join in the fun, just saw the host’s teasing at the awards ceremony and the Golden Globe in the next day’s newspaper. result.
At the 50th Golden Globe Awards, Spielberg easily defeated Clint Eastwood's "Unforgivable" with "Schindler's List" and got the best film and best director of the plot. Awards, the next six days of the 65th Oscar winners list, "Schindler's List" with 12 nominations, riding the dust, far ahead of other nominees, becoming the biggest hotspot of this Oscar.
And Eric's "Tornado" last year, as expected, only got two insignificant nominations for the best sound and best visual effects, but the chances of winning the two nominations are close to 100%. When the sound of "Tornado" was released, it won a lot of praise from film critics. As for the visual effect, plus the "Tornado" itself, there are only four nominees, namely Robert Zemikis's "flying over the longevity". "David Finch's Alien 3" and Tim Burton's "Batman Returns", no matter which point of view, the effects of these three films can not be compared with the hurricane in the "Tornado" ratio.
However, this time Oscar Eric still has to be absent, because from the end of March to April, the two little guys in the belly of Virginia and Joanna are about to be born, Eric must be there. I stayed with two women for a while.
At the beginning of February, with the Golden Globe in the past, Oscar’s popularity began to rise. However, Premiere magazine launched the annual Hollywood Power List in the latest issue of the magazine, once again transferring the public to Eric. Ke, and the reaction to the list in the Hollywood circle is even stronger.
The selection criteria for the Hollywood Power List is based on the influence of the previous year's list in Hollywood. The first two years of Eric's rebirth, because of the strong rise of caa, almost monopolized most of Hollywood's first-line stars and script resources. Caia's Michael Ovitz also made the first place in the Hollywood power list, leaving Michael Eisner and Barry Diller, who were in the limelight at the time. (To be continued)
