After a full twelve years of silence, in mid-December 2009, James Cameron, known as the studio tyrant, truck driver and technical madman, came to the North American film market with a super giant Avatar, in the promotional packaging of Twentieth Century Fox. Next, the cost of this film to the public is as high as 500 million US dollars!

That's right, everyone in the Hollywood circle knows that Avatar's production budget plus publicity budget is really as much as $500 million.

If you include James Cameron's technical preparations for Avatar, the cost may be even more.

Matthew also had an idea for the film, but James Camere worked closely with Twentieth Century Fox, and the crew took the form of financing rather than accepting foreign investment.

That is to say, 20th Century Fox and the crew borrowed money from the outside world, and then repaid the principal plus interest, and the people who provided the financing were not involved in the film's revenue share.

It means nothing to him.

As for bringing in the James-Camer twins, this is seriously beyond his ability. Not to mention that he cannot provide James-Cameruo with more favorable conditions for cooperation than 20th Century Fox. The huge investment alone may lead to capital The chain is broken.

He also approached James Cameron with Helen Herman and then gave up.

Since the big ship, Twentieth Century Fox and Sony Electronics have provided funding and equipment for James Cameron to improve 3D technology, and James Cameron has been tied to Twentieth Century Fox.

Change the director to shoot? What this film lacks is not the story, not the actors, not even the script, but the technology!

Without James Camere's nearly ten years of research, and without a return to the field trial of the three documentaries: Battleship Bismarck, Ghost of the Abyss, and Alien of the Abyss, there would be no such thing as a development.

It's a film that would have been impossible without James Camere.

Matthew accepted an invitation from Twentieth Century Fox to appear at the world premiere at the Hollywood Theater.

This is also a witness to the birth of a miracle.

"Twentieth Century Fox and James Camey are said to be very eloquent."

Red carpet spasm, Walt Disney CEO Robert Iger stood on top of the sleeve, looked at James Cameron walking down the red carpet, and said to Matthew, "I want to make Avatar a Titanic gigantic."

He looked back and looked at Matthew, "Do you think they can succeed?"

"How do I know about this kind of thing." Matthew is not a magician, so how can he make predictions when he has nothing to do, he just said, "But the ticket price is an advantage."

Robert Iger understood what Matthew meant and nodded lightly, "Avatar has nearly one-third of the 3D theater."

Matthew also looked away from the red carpet, "The king of the world is ambitious."

"He is also the number one in the North American box office and the world box office headquarters." Robert Iger showed a Mickey Mouse-like smile, "No one can shake him."

Matthew echoed, "The Titanic is a huge treasure trove!"

Robert Iger sighed, "During the past ten years, Titanic's revenue from DVDs and videotapes has been enviable."

"Actually, I envy you more, Bob." Matthew said slowly, "You actually won Lucasfilm!"

Robert Iger is very modest, "mainly George Lucas is willing to sell to Disney."

Matthew asked, "I heard you're planning to restart the Star Wars franchise?" It's no secret, the news has been around since Disney Pictures was preparing to buy Lucasfilm, "Perhaps only the Star Wars franchise will end James Card. Mellon."

Even now, he can't understand Americans' feelings for Star Wars, maybe just like the audience on the other side of the Pacific Ocean loves Journey to the West?

He doesn't understand anything else, but he can see that Star Wars and Journey to the West are similar in that they have become a symbol of popular culture.

"I hope so." Robert Iger suddenly asked with a hint of cunning in his smile, "Matthew, are you interested in playing the new Jedi Knight?"

Matthew asked curiously, "You already have a plan?"

Robert Egger, "Not yet." He emphasized, "If you are willing to join, I believe George Lucas and Catherine Kenneth are willing to design the protagonist for you."

Thinking of the buzzing lightsaber and the squishy fight, Matthew dragged, "Forget it, I'm not interested in Jedi Knights."

He doesn't know much about the culture and settings behind Star Wars. Just watching the movie makes the Jedi Knights simply weak.

No matter what, I have to take out my lightsaber and shout in front of the Sith Emperor: I want to fight ten!

Besides, in the future, this series will be the world where women are white and left and black lives are expensive.

"What about Marvel's superhero movies?" Robert Iger's words jumped. "Captain America is about to audition. I think you are the best person to play Steve Rogers."

"You're also investing in Captain America, and it's a win-win," he cautioned.

Matthew dragged slowly but firmly, and casually gave a reason for refusal, "Kevin Feige won't pay a high salary." He smiled, "Bob, I don't have a deadline, I have speed next year. Two films with Passion 5 and Special Forces 2 are going to be shot.”

Robert Iger nodded. Although he didn't say anything, he was inevitably a little regretful. Walt Disney had acquired Marvel Entertainment, and naturally took over Marvel's Avengers plan. The investment in the entire series was so large that even Matthew Huo Na shared 40% of the investment in the two projects of Captain America and the Avengers in preparation, and the amount of money invested by Marvel Studios is still astronomical.

The huge investment figure brings extremely high risks. If the Avengers fails to meet expectations, it will not only be a loss of investment in the film, but also the acquisition of Marvel will become a failure.

If Matthew Horner can play his main role, the risk will certainly be greatly reduced.

such a pity

Robert Iger could only sigh in his heart. A Hollywood superstar, a billionaire with a conservative estimate of $7.8 billion, who is also developing a world in the field of production investment, such a person, even the six major companies. Can't force it.

He itself represents a huge commercial value.

Matthew and Robert Iger chatted for a while, Robert Iger entered the theater, he was about to enter the theater, someone came to say hello.

"Hi, Matthew."

Seeing a woman with long red hair walking over, who was shorter than Charlize Theron, but more burly than Charlize Theron, Matthew stepped forward and shook hands with her, " Hello, The Howard Show."

"Call me Bryce," Bryce Dallas Howard said with a smile. "Nice to meet you."

Matthew smiled, actually not familiar with Bryce Dallas Howard, and said quite politely, "You are so beautiful tonight."

"Thank you," Bryce Dallas Howard laughed and said, "I want to say thank you to you about Twilight."

Matthew said indifferently, "A little new, don't take it to heart."

Bryce Dallas-Howard knew that this was his father's face and the favor owed by the Howard family, and said, "Matthew, if you can help me, you can call me."

Hearing what she said, Matthew suddenly thought of David Bangson. This kind of favor doesn't need to be in vain. After all, he and the Howard family are not friends.

"I really need your help with the fish thing," he said.

Bryce Dallas Howard is smiling but complaining in his heart, this Matthew Horner is really rude!

"Please," Bryce Dallas-Howard said.

Of course, Matthew will not be polite. "I have a friend who invested in a film called The Hurt Locker, ready to hit this year's Oscars."

Bryce Dallas-Howard understood, looked around, and said in a low voice, "I'll start the film school friends to vote~lightnovelpub.net~ Matthew smiled and said,"Thank you. "

At this point, the two have nothing to say. Although Bryce Dallas Howard is a beauty in the eyes of many people, Matthew has nothing to do with her.

For one thing, Bryce Dallas-Howard is as strong as a man, and for another, she seems to be married.

As a principled lumberjack, Matthew would not touch this tree.

Matthew then entered the Hollywood Theater, waited in the VIP lounge for a while, and deliberately greeted James Cameron and chatted briefly.

He didn't go out of his way to befriend James Cameron.

After this Avatar, the sequel produced by James Camere has become a lifetime series.

However, before entering the screening room, Matthew saw an interested person.

The man was short, with glasses and a Harvey Weinstein fish-like appearance.

Matthew had collected details about Weinstein Pictures and immediately recognized it as the rarely seen Bob Weinstein!

Seeing Bob Weinstein, he was surprised and deliberately stopped for a while, watching Bob Weinstein chatting with directors and stars in the lounge, and talking with the bosses of major companies.

This is completely different from the materialist Bob Weinstein.

In the past few years, Bob Weinstein has rarely appeared in the public, basically hiding behind Harvey Weinstein. The rumors in Hollywood are that Harvey Weinstein is the leader, and Bob Weinstein is the leader. Inside.

Matthew has attended so many premieres and countless Hollywood events that he has seen Harvey Weinstein more than ever.

But Bob Weinstein, it was the first time I saw him.

If he hadn't collected information about him, Matthew wouldn't have recognized it as Bob Weinstein.
