2505 [Knowing Heroes and Heavy Heroes]

When Cameron heard that Xia Tian was willing to invest, his eyes lit up. To be honest, he was waiting for this sentence.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to attend this year's party.

"Mr. Xia, are you really willing to invest?" Cameron asked in surprise.

"For the sake of your great director, I am willing to invest." Xia Tian nodded, "I admit it because I lost money."

Cameron was very moved when he heard this.

After "Titanic" was suspended due to shortage of funds, Fox once contacted several film companies, hoping that they could invest in it. However, several major film companies such as Warner, Paramount, Disney, etc. did not agree.

The reason for this is that the world system in summer has stolen a lot of their income. For example, "Home Imperials" is from Fox, "The Disguised Strange" is from the new line, "Rain Man" is from MGM, and "The Pretty Beauty" is from Disney...

These movies were originally supposed to be produced or released by them in their previous lives, but in this life, all of them were produced and released by the World Series because of summer.

With these movies, companies in the world have earned more than 3 billion US dollars in the past few years. In other words, the losses of these companies are as high as more than 3 billion US dollars, and an average loss of 800 million US dollars per company.

In Hollywood, life is not easy for giants like these.

Lianyi, one of the eight giants, went bankrupt because of a loss of 40 million US dollars in "Gate of Heaven"; MGM, one of the eight giants, almost fell into bankruptcy because of the failure of investment in "Wind Whisperer". Even the company's senior executives resigned because of this, and its losses were only about 80 million US dollars...

These film companies lost more than 800 million US dollars in hidden losses. Although they have not yet reached the point of bankruptcy, their status is indeed much worse than their previous lives.

This also makes them more careful in their investments and dare not take too much risk.

"Titanic" is a shipwreck movie, and Hollywood has an iron rule, never touch animals and water.

Because animals are not as easy to control like humans, the cost of shooting is difficult to control, and overspending is inevitable. The same is true for water. The water environment is harsh, and typhoons are blowing, heavy rains, and heavy waves are causing them. This will not only damage the set, but also interrupt the shooting.

"Titanic" itself violates the iron law, not to mention that there is a movie of the same name called "Titanic" that has been filmed and released, which will also affect the box office of "Titanic".

So after consideration, major film companies rejected Fox's investment invitation.

Even Paramount, who had invested in "Titanic" in his previous life, chose to refuse for various reasons.

...

Cameron came to this party today just to try his luck.

If Xia Tian is willing to invest in this movie, it would be great. On the contrary, if he is not optimistic about this movie and is unwilling to invest in this movie, he will be completely helpless.

Moreover, because he consumed so much money and did not finish a movie, the investment was unfinished, which would also lead to his credit bankruptcy in Hollywood. From then on, no film company will ask him to film again.

Because no film company will tolerate the director spending all his budget, but he only took the beginning. No matter how exquisite the beginning is, it is still unforgivable.

What surprised him was that Xia Tian was willing to invest in this movie, which was really great.

Especially Xia Tian knew that this movie might lose money, but he still strongly supported him. This support moved him even more.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia." Cameron said gratefully.

"You have to be polite." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled, "There is a saying in China that we know heroes and value heroes. I appreciate your directorial skills very much. I will not let you die like this."

After hearing this, Cameron became more and more moved.

He vowed to keep this sentence "know heroes and value heroes" in his heart.

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your appreciation. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Cameron said.

When Xia Tian heard this, he nodded with a smile.

Cameron can be said to be one of the most talented directors in Hollywood. Although he doesn't have many works, he directed the two highest-grossing movies in the history of film in the world. This alone is enough to make him famous in film history.

And Xia Tian also knew that Cameron actually had more than one "Avatar" in the future that could make him a lot of money.

If he could help Cameron take over the copyright of "Terminator", with Cameron's talent, this series of movies could definitely shine again.

In his previous life, after Cameron finished filming "Terminator 2", he did not touch "Terminator" again because its copyright was not in Cameron's hands, but in Carrog.

In 1995, the company went bankrupt due to an investment failure, so Cameron took the opportunity to propose to the film company to repurchase the copyright of "Terminator".

Because Cameron had already become a first-line director in Hollywood with his hot-selling movies such as "Terminator 2" and "The True Lies", Carrogco Company opened its mouth and asked Cameron for an extremely high price.

They originally thought Cameron would buy it. Because "Terminator" is Cameron's representative work and a masterpiece written and directed by him. For Cameron, such a work is undoubtedly equivalent to a biological child, and it is better to buy it with money.

However, he didn't expect that Cameron would not pick up this at all. He left directly when he saw that the price could not be negotiated, and he did not give Carrog a second offer.

Carrog was later acquired by MGM, but the copyright of "Terminator" was taken away by two senior executives of the company.

The Terminator series can be said to be Carloco's most important asset. As long as they have the copyright, they will have a chance to make a comeback.

In fact, they later used this copyright to create "Terminator 3". Unfortunately, the movie did not cause much response.

Later, they sold the useless copyright of "Terminator" to the Emerald Company. With this copyright, the Emerald launched the American drama "Terminator Story" and also launched the movie "Terminator 2018".

Without exception, this American drama and this movie have failed one after another. Without the trading of the master Cameron, no one can control this story.

If Summer gets this copyright, you can collaborate with Cameron to launch the sequel to "Terminator".

With the popularity of the "Terminator" series in science fiction movies and the ability of Cameron to create box office miracles, the "Terminator" series can earn more than 3 billion US dollars in profits for the world even if it only shoots two or three movies.
