"Titanic" was a very great movie in the original world of America.
The love in it is very pure, mixed with regretful beauty, and a certain lack of the free era. At the same time, when "Titanic" was born, the box office caused a sensation all over the world, setting a number of records and numbers that are extremely difficult for future generations to surpass.
Unclear award record.
In fact, Lu Yuan didn't know whether he could make this movie well. After all, although Lu Yuan's own directing skills have improved to a higher level after three years of training, in fact he also knew that he might not be able to.
Make this "Titanic" a success.
Precisely because he knows that his level is limited, Lu Yuan will try his best to make this movie realistic.
Special effects are one thing. For example, this big ship can be shot as a special effect. With the current special effects of "Industrial Electric Demon", there is no problem in making all the scenes in this movie look fake. However, for Lu Yuan, it is still difficult to just make fake look real.
There is something missing. If it can be shot in a real environment, then this feeling of lack will be much less.
Generally speaking, Lu Yuan's filmmaking experience has occurred in three stages.
One is the stage when I first met Wang Jinxue, when I just wanted to make some random movies and get some money and run away; the second is the stage when the box office started to be guaranteed, and I was thinking about making a good movie in the most economical way; the third stage is
The current stage is the current stage. At this stage, Lu Yuan wants to use his own efforts to make every movie well. As long as there are flaws that can be avoided within his power, Lu Yuan will hope to avoid them...
Of course, Lu Yuan knew that there was actually a fourth stage, which was the final stage, and the fourth stage was the original stage in the future.
Thinking about the future is too far away.
You have to eat your meal one bite at a time. At least, what is standing in front of Lu Yuan now is that he will try his best to make this "Titanic" a success!
At noon, after dinner, Forrest called Lu Yuan.
"Boss, we contacted Fords, one of the largest shipyards in the United States. As soon as the other party heard that you wanted to build a ship, they immediately agreed to help us build the ship at the cost price. For $100 million, they can build a ship for about $300 million.
Something, but the other party has a request..."
"What request?"
"The other party hopes that you can allow them to hype this matter. Of course, if allowed, they hope to invite you to be their spokesperson. They will pay you the endorsement fee according to the highest standards. If you agree, in the future
They will have various benefits in the future..."
"Huh? This kind of company also needs an image spokesperson? What image do they want? Aren't they a country...uh?" Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and then thought that the United States is a capitalist country, not a socialist country like China.
.
It is like this whether it is this world or the original world.
In China, there may be some human touch, but in American business circles, it is basically profit-oriented.
"They also need it. One of the people in charge named Winter even hopes to build a luxury yacht of your own for you. After receiving our order, he has already bought a ticket from New York and is ready to go to us.
Rushed here..."
"Am I so valuable now?" When Lu Yuan heard this, he scratched his head instantly.
The whole person was stunned on the spot, and when he came to his senses, he felt extremely crazy.
"Boss, don't you know that you are now the target of a lot of international capital? Your international advertising endorsements are worth at least 50 million US dollars! The huge data traffic behind you is actually very scary.
Just like your current signature has been sold to 100,000 US dollars, and the earlier the signature, the more valuable it is!" Forrest told Lu Yuan everything very seriously.
"..." Lu Yuan was silent.
In a daze, with extremely complicated emotions, he shook his head.
He suddenly realized that since "Symphony of Destiny", everything around him had really begun to change.
"Boss, if you are willing, there are countless wealthy people in the United States who want to invest in you with capital. Even if our company's movies are not invested by ourselves and not invested by others,
I’m afraid our movie has been snatched up by major capitals long ago! What’s more, now they are investing in you..."
"I understand." Lu Yuan took a deep breath and finally nodded after being silent for a long time.
"Boss, are you planning to..."
"As for the endorsement, let's forget it for now. Let's spend our own money and let them do it..."
"Okay, I understand!"
After Lu Yuan hung up the phone, he felt excited and swollen, and at the same time mixed with extremely excited emotions.
After this mood lasted for a while, he slowly regained his composure.
All these external things are illusory.
No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, everything is fleeting.
All I have to do is make a good film on "Titanic".
When Lu Yuan thought of this, he continued to take out the script of "Titanic" and began to think about it seriously.
However, before he could think about it for a long time, Forrest called again.
"boss……"
"What?"
"In addition to Fords, another Blue Shipyard in the United States got my number from somewhere and just contacted me suddenly. They hope that we will not sign the contract and make a decision so early. If possible, they
They also hope to undertake this project. They said that they will
Under the premise of Foster's generous treatment, they can customize a private yacht for you free of charge, and will also provide five-year maintenance services...if they can advertise their company in the movie.
Also, then, they are even willing to pay high advertising fees..."
"ah?"
………………………………
The box office of "Arrival" is getting worse day by day.
Century Corporation will naturally be eager to promote "Arrival" and try to save "Arrival" through various channels.
The event was very grand, and well-known Hollywood celebrities such as Anelle and Johnny were invited to help with various activities of "Arrival".
The effect of the event was very good, and the fans, including the major media, were also very enthusiastic. It is foreseeable that the attendance rate of "Arrival" tomorrow will definitely increase.
but……
Andrew's expression was very gloomy.
When little Jackson was doing activities, he was one minute late!
Yes!
When he arrived at the scene in a panic, Andrew, who was secretly sitting underneath, clearly found that little Jackson was obviously not in good spirits and his performance was somewhat unsatisfactory.
Andrew can tolerate all kinds of mistakes from Little Jackson, can tolerate the box office failure of "Arrival", and can even tolerate Fatty Wei and others coming into contact with Little Jackson, but!
The last thing he can tolerate is being late!
Yes!
Although he was only a minute late, Andrew felt that this was a sign of lack of seriousness.
Why couldn't it have been one minute earlier?
This is a more serious problem than any mistake.
At the venue, Andrew didn't say anything, and he was very satisfied with the performance of the event.
However, at night, Andrew Andrew finally couldn't bear it and called little Jackson into the office.
…………………………
In the office.
"Mr. Jackson, do you know what situation I can't tolerate the most?"
"I……"
"Take a look at the stack of photos that Mr. Rick received by chance." Andrew suppressed the anger in his heart and handed the stack of photos to little Jackson.
"..." Little Jackson lowered his head. When he saw this stack of photos, he was stunned.
The photo shows Fatty Wei and him drinking and then walking out with their arms around each other.
It seems extremely ironic.
His face suddenly turned red.
It's like being slapped in the face!
"Mr. Jackson, I need an explanation! And an explanation for your lateness today. After all, I trust you very much from beginning to end!"
"I'm sorry...Mr. Andrew, I may have been harmed!" Little Jackson lowered his head, his eyes extremely complicated, and his heart trembled slightly, and an invisible flame rose up.
I drank too much yesterday.
I woke up with a headache this morning.
Yesterday, he didn't notice anything but thought it was strange, but today, he completely understood it.
All of this was because Fatty Wei and the two wanted to harm him!
It's all a trap!
Then……
He foolishly fell into the trap!
He clenched his fists and wanted to hit the smiling fat man on the head with his fists!
"Tell me in detail what happened last night!"
"Okay, Mr. Andrew, actually, I really didn't know anything about last night, because I..." Little Jackson suppressed his anger and told Andrew everything about last night, and even the previous situation.
Told Andrew.
Twenty minutes passed.
Andrew's cold expression gradually began to soften.
"It seems that all this was planned by "Lu Yuan"?"
"right!"
"Mr. Jackson, I believe you."
"Mr. Andrew, I..." After hearing this, little Jackson raised his head, his expression full of excitement and his heart warm.
"Please sign this contract." At this time, Andrew handed Jackson Jr. a ten-year contract.
When he saw the contract, Jackson Jr. was stunned.
"ah?"
"I will show my sincerity, and of course, you must also show your sincerity. Our previous contracts were all based on cooperation. This contract remains unchanged, but some periods have been extended. What do you think? There is a contract.
Only by limiting the restrictions can we have more space for communication, what do you think?"
"Mr. Andrew, I wish I could take a look. Give me a moment."
"Okay, let's take a look here."
"Right here?"
"Yes, I have nothing to do today, so I can wait for you."
"..."
After looking at Andrew's expression, little Jackson finally nodded, and then read the contract seriously.
Two hours later.
When Jackson Jr. read the contract, the gratitude in his heart disappeared.
"Mr. Andrew, I can't sign this contract. After all, if I sign it, the movie I want to shoot today will be all in your hands. Even the script, actors, and other specific things will be in your hands. This
This contract is an A-level contract for new directors." Little Jackson looked up at Andrew.
"The contract is just a form and a constraint. I believe in you without reservation, and I hope you can believe in me without reservation. We will not interfere with the movie, no matter how you want to shoot it, what is in the contract
You can treat the terms as if they don’t exist, it’s just to give you and me a comforting occasion..." Andrew stared at little Jackson.
"I..." Little Jackson's chest kept rising and falling.
He knew that he could not sign this contract.
If you pay back what you signed, then you will be completely ruined and your status will even be lowered by one level.
After all, he is no longer a fledgling director in Hollywood!
"Mr. Jackson, I hope you can prove your loyalty."
"Mr. Andrew, can you give me a day so I can think about it carefully?"
"Give you a day, are you going to expose this contract, and then officially say that we suppress you, just take this opportunity to clear your name and jump to "remote"?"
"I didn't! I won't do such a thing!"
"Then sign it."
Andrew's smile disappeared.
It continues to become extremely cold.
Little Jackson looked at Andrew. Although he didn't dare to meet his eyes or say anything else, he chose to remain silent.
This went on for several minutes.
After this depressing feeling lasted for a long time, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in……"
"Mr. Andrew, it's bad, our popularity for "Arrival" has been suppressed!"
"Suppressed by what?"
"Being squeezed by Fords and Blue, the two largest shipyards in the United States!"
