Chapter 602: Advantage

When James Cameron's crew finished filming in the North Atlantic and returned to Los Angeles, Ronan immediately instructed the Embassy Pictures, which had won the distribution rights of "Deep Sea Alien", to contact the crew, stating that the Relativity Building has the most advanced post-production. The distributor is willing to assist the producer in the post-production of the documentary.
Five sets of post-production rooms in the Theory of Relativity Building have been completed. Shahai Entertainment has invested heavily in them. All production rooms can meet the production needs of 3D movies.
The crew of "Deep Sea Alien" quickly signed a lease with Shahai Entertainment and moved into the Relativity Entertainment Building. Ronan made a special trip to visit James Cameron.
"Unexpectedly, the equipment in the production room is so advanced." James Cameron stood in front of the latest color table that can directly process 3D images and said: "There are very few post-production rooms that can meet the requirements in Hollywood. , I was thinking about going to New Zealand to find Weta Studio."
Ronan smiled and said, "This is the advantage of the equipment purchase."
James Cameron nodded slightly: "Technology is developing too fast, and many devices need to be updated in a few years."
Ronan told the truth: "James, the main reason is that your requirements are too high."
Originally for the filming and production of "Titanic", James Cameron and Hollywood's famous special effects artist Stan Winston jointly established the "Digital Realm" special effects company, but after the ship arrived at the end, James Cameron quickly discovered The development speed of the "digital field" is far behind his requirements, so he simply transferred his shares in the "digital field" and cooperated with the more ambitious IMAX company and Sony Electronics.
James Cameron pointed to the new equipment: "Your requirements are also very high." He suddenly asked: "Ronan, you have invested heavily in building a post-production room that can handle 3D video, and you are optimistic about the future of 3D?"
Ronan said directly: "When it comes to film technology, I am a layman in front of you, a technology innovator, but I am optimistic about the commercial prospects of 3D. Once 3D technology becomes popular, the general increase in ticket prices is inevitable."
Hearing this, James Cameron was speechless for a while, can only say that the opposite is indeed a film company boss?
"There are also many conservative people." James Cameron said: "I think 3D will ruin the movie."
Ronan couldn't help laughing: "In those days, silence changed to sound, black and white changed to color. Many people also said that new technology would ruin film art, and technological changes would inevitably touch the interests of some inherent forces."
James Cameron nodded in approval: "It makes sense."
Ronan turned to the topic and asked: "James, in the past few years you have filmed two documentaries, "Deep Sea Ghost" and "Deep Sea Alien". The former uses 3D technology plus the new camera technology jointly developed by you and Sony Electronics. The latter It also unites with IMAX. You are researching and practicing new technologies, right?"
James Cameron knew Ronan hadn't finished speaking, he just nodded.
Ronan didn’t directly point out that James Cameron’s temperament is a bit weird, so he went around in a circle and said,
I have a project in my hand, which is very suitable for the new 3D technology and your style.

Everyone is not stupid. Ronan contacted James Cameron repeatedly. Even if James Cameron only thinks of Ronan’s identity as the producer and the boss of the film company, it is not difficult to guess some of his goals.
Want to invite him to direct the film project of Relativity Entertainment? James Cameron didn't have the slightest surprise, and asked, "What project?"
Ronan said: "When I saw "Terminator" for the first time, especially the second one, I was shocked by the robots in it. The beauty and accompanying power of the industrial machinery was fascinating. To "Titanic" In the
No.
, you brought the charm of industrial machinery to the extreme, as if all the accumulation of technology since the Industrial Revolution was at its peak in
Terminator 2
and
Titanic.
James, besides you, I don’t know who is more Suitable for this project."
He didn’t let James Cameron wait for a long time, saying:
A few years ago, I asked Shahai Entertainment to obtain the copyright of the "Transformers" series from Hasbro. I wanted to adapt a live-action movie to make industrial machinery beautiful. Shocked the world again."
"Hasbro's Transformers?" James Cameron clearly knew: "That toy series."
Having said that, Ronan himself was almost fooled by himself, saying that the "Transformers" project was originally intended to introduce James Cameron’s new film project, but after that just now, he suddenly felt that James Cameron was too Suitable for "Transformers".
When it comes to special effects and technology, James Cameron is definitely the top level in the Hollywood industry.
In terms of the relatively weak storyline of "Transformers", James Cameron is better than Michael Bay.
For example, the movie "Terminator 2" which also tells about robots.
The excellence of this film is not only to create a single special effect image, it has outstanding performance in all aspects of film art and technology.
In addition to the amazing "performance" of the deformed metal man, various exciting scenes such as fights, gun battles, chases, explosions, etc. are arranged. These scenes are reasonably matched and interspersed to meet the sensory needs of the audience and successfully avoid stacking and repetition.
In each single scene, James Cameron also exerted his excellent director and editing skills, reaching a near-perfect state in scene scheduling, the use of montages, and time control.
This relatively complex, multi-line advancing story was told methodically by James Cameron, and the rhythm was controlled in a relaxed manner. It is an excellent model for the combination of director and director.
Ronan decided to give it a try: "These robots need not only excellent special effects technology, but also outstanding industrial design to be presented in live-action movies. James, in Hollywood, I can't think of anyone more suitable than you."
James Cameron recalled his child’s Transformers toy and imagined what it would be like to become a live-action movie.
But thinking of his plan, James Cameron finally shook his head and said: "Sorry, Ronan, this project is really good, but I already have a movie project ready to start."
Ronan was disappointed and full of expectations, but his face was always calm: "You have a new movie planned? James, can you know what the new project is?"
James Cameron was vague: "Some thoughts about alien colonization are not very clear yet, so it is not convenient to disclose them."
Ronan asked: "The new movie project is still a top big production like "Terminator 2," "True Lies" and "Titanic"?"
James Cameron said: "The production cost is higher than that of "Titanic."
Ronan said directly: "James, if there is no investor, Relativity Entertainment is willing to cooperate with you."
James Cameron smiled, but did not take Ronan's words.
Ronan is quite confident: "Relativity Entertainment has such a strength, a single project, with a production budget of 300 million US dollars is not a problem at all."
He knows how to impress James Cameron: "My company’s shareholding structure is simple. I personally own a complete shareholding company. There are not so many constraints, and there will be no delays made by Fox in the 20th century during the filming of "Titanic." Thing."
These words made James Cameron unconsciously think again. During the filming of "Titanic", in order to increase investment, he followed the Fox executives and pleaded hard for him. In the 20th century, Fox wanted to take him more than once. The director was replaced.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be avoided at that time when changing to any large company.
The composition of shares is complex, and the interest entanglements in it are also complicated. Many people are short-sighted and only focus on immediate interests.
Even with his current fame and status, it is difficult to guarantee that new projects will not be constrained.
After all, the success of "Titanic" has passed six or seven years.
Ronan seemed to have guessed what James Cameron thought and thought, and continued: "James, in cooperation with Relativity Entertainment, I can give you absolute trust and maximum directorship. The entire movie project, except me and the financial management staff. In addition, other people will not have any interference, you can get unprecedented creative space."
James Cameron thought of Ronan's credibility in the circle, these words are extremely credible, and he can feel ample sincerity.
Ronan really has the final say on Relativity Entertainment. If Relativity Entertainment cooperates, he will not face too complicated situations, and he can concentrate on his creation.
The success of many films such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" also proves that Relativity Entertainment and its subsidiaries have not only excellent production capabilities, but also the distribution channels of the six major companies.
James Cameron looked at Ronan and asked, "You don't even know what my new movie project is, so you dare to make these promises?"
Ronan smiled: "Because I invested in James Cameron!"
"Don’t dare to be ~EbookFREE.me~ James Cameron doesn’t dare to underestimate Ronan. Among those under 30 in Hollywood, this is definitely the richest and most powerful one, and youth also represents There is still huge room for development in the future. Taking these into account, he did not refuse, instead he thought it was a good candidate, but this project involved all aspects, said: "Let’s work together to complete "Deep Sea Alien", and then wait for me to start Shall we talk more in detail when preparing for a new project? "
Ronan could hear that this was not a perfunctory statement, and was quite satisfied with the result, and said, "Yes."
James Cameron entered the Relativity Building and cooperated with Embassy Pictures in Deep Sea Alien. In fact, Relativity Entertainment has already been ahead of everyone.
In the twentieth century, Fox wants to continue to cooperate with James Cameron as it once did.
At the same time, Arthur Macomb once again walked into the Fox Building, and Marvel Comics in New York was in big trouble.
