James Cameron has been following the Titanic for more than a year, and since he accidentally saw the news about the big ship in the newspaper, he has always had the idea of bringing that story to the screen.
Over the past year, James Cameron has been traveling back and forth between Europe and the United States, collecting a lot of information about the big ship, and even visiting some people involved in the shipwreck and their descendants.
Gradually, a story originating from real memories gradually took shape in James Cameron's head.
Given his good cooperation experience with Oriental Film Company, James Cameron initially wanted Kang Jianfei to invest.
But the general manager of Oriental Film Company is Cameron's ex-wife Anne Hurd. The two have become enemies since their divorce. The emotions and conflicts of interests make it impossible for them to cooperate.
So James Cameron found the senior executives of 20th Century Fox and was warmly welcomed by the senior executives of Fox as the director of "Terminator".
However, when James Cameron and Fox executives talked about their shooting plans, the other party's attitude quickly became cold. Not only did the existing computer special effects technology fail to realize Cameron's idea, but the production cost was too huge. Both factors greatly hit the investment enthusiasm of 20th Century Fox.
In another time and space, James Cameron finally made his first investment after five years of contact with senior executives of 20th Century Fox.
During these five years, James Cameron originally planned to film "Spider-Man", but due to technical reasons, he had to film "The True Lies".
It was not until "The True Lies" was well received and popular that 20th Century Fox once again faced Cameron's directorial talent and agreed to invest in the filming of "Titanic".
Now, after James Cameron was coldly treated at 20th Century Fox, he simply contacted Kang Jianfei directly.
He thinks Kang Jianfei is a person with great market vision and should be able to see the box office potential of "Titanic". If Kang Jianfei can be convinced, he can easily get Paramount's investment. Cameron still doesn't believe that Kang Jianfei dares to invest alone, and only hopes for Paramount Pictures.
Sure enough, when Cameron and Kang Jianfei talked about this on the phone, Kang Jianfei showed great interest.
In order to strike while the iron is hot, Cameron couldn't wait to fly to Hong Kong, trying to persuade Kang Jianfei to invest in person.
Of course, it is not just "Romeo and Juliet" that takes place on the water, it expresses more richly.In fact, I wanted to copy a Tantenic on the screen, and its entire shipwreck process, and that would be a very grand and tragic scene.
James Cameron tells his thoughts.
Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: But is the current computer special effects technology enough to support your idea?
There are some difficulties, but this is not the point. James Cameron did not take technical issues seriously at all. He said that when Lucas decided to film Star Wars, the film special effects technology at that time could not meet the requirements, so Hollywood had Industrial Light and Magic, which brought about revolutionary progress in film special effects.Mr. Kang, the two "Terminator" you invested in, as well as "Shushan" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" produced by Oriental DreamWorks.The production process of each movie is a process of the advancement of film special effects technology. Perhaps when "Titanic" is released, film special effects technology will usher in a new leap because of us.
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: What you said is not enough to invest huge amounts of money in making a blockbuster with uncertain future.
James Cameron opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, because Kang Jianfei is not a person who doesn't understand computer special effects at all, and an expert is not easy to fool Ah.
Seeing that Cameron was a little disappointed, Kang Jianfei smiled and said: But I am indeed very interested in the story of "Titanic", but I just don't want to shoot it in the past two years, because the current special effects technology is indeed difficult.
James Cameron rekindled his hope and said: We can do some preliminary preparations, and when the technical reserves are enough to support the special effects of the entire movie, we can immediately start the shooting plan.
I think so too, so I want to try another special effects blockbuster first, and accumulate the special effects technology of companies in the digital field.Kang Jianfei said.
James Cameron asked: What movie does Mr. Kang want me to direct?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: It’s not you who are the director, but you who are the assistant director.
Am I an associate director?James Cameron was a little surprised.He admits Kang Jianfei's directorial level. It is enough to direct the "Terminator" series alone. Why do two directors need to play in a movie?
Look at this, Kang Jianfei handed a script to James Cameron. The script was translated into English yesterday. I originally planned to fax it to you, but I didn't expect you to fly to Hong Kong.
"Jurassic Park"?James Cameron murmured to himself.
"Jurassic Park" is not just a special effect blockbuster, it has a very special status in the history of film.
Before the release of Titanic, Jurassic Park was the highest-grossing movie and was also a special-effect blockbuster that swept the global box office market.
Especially in some Asian countries and regions, Hong Kong films have always been the dominant local market, but "Jurassic Park" has brought the supreme power to the point of defeating Hong Kong films.
"Terminator 2" is just an appetizer, and "Jurassic Park" means the arrival of the real era of special effects blockbusters.
James Cameron opened the script and said: I'll take a look first before making a decision.
Please do.Kang Jianfei smiled.
James Cameron finished reading the script in one breath and said: Although the story is a bit old-fashioned, if the movie is really shot and the dinosaurs in the film are fake and real, it will bring huge visual impact to the audience, just like people watching "Star Wars" back then.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: How about it, are you interested?
James Cameron asked: What jobs am I responsible for?
Kang Jianfei said: You are mainly responsible for special effects and building studios. I am responsible for casting, selecting locations, scene scheduling, etc. We will discuss the storyboard together. When there are differences, my opinions will be the main focus.
The saying that Kang Jianfei is the main one made Cameron quite disgusted. He hated being interfered by others when making movies because he had a painful experience when directing "Pizzard 2".
Cameron wanted to refuse directly, but Kang Jianfei's promise to invest in Titanic tempted him again, because according to Kang Jianfei's statement, filming "Jurassic Park" was to accumulate technical experience for "Titanic".
It will take more than a year to produce "Jurassic Park". When the movie is finished, you can basically prepare for the filming of "Titanic".
After some calculations, James Cameron felt that it was not difficult to accept that Kang Jianfei was the deputy director to direct a science fiction blockbuster. After asking about the pay and specific details of the cooperation, Cameron agreed.
The two chatted for an afternoon. It was almost evening when Kang Jianfei personally sent Cameron down and called his men to help Cameron arrange accommodation.
After Kang Jianfei said goodbye to Cameron, he drove to Zhou Huimin's house alone.
Zhou Huimin’s new residence has not been exposed yet. The place where Cherie Chung and Brigitte Lin live is located 24 hours a day.
Over the past year, James Cameron has been traveling back and forth between Europe and the United States, collecting a lot of information about the big ship, and even visiting some people involved in the shipwreck and their descendants.
