    The script is really good.  It¡¯s simply a discussion of human nature.  .  "The script of "True Out of Shenzhen" was praised by everyone in Cameron. After Cameron read it, he immediately discussed the script with Mak Chengxiong.

    But this, the script is not the best yet, it just has a general framework. Many excellent plots in the movie are not reflected. For example, the chase scene is not very complete in the script, it is almost passed over in one stroke. This is also the reason why the screenwriter  The difference between the screenwriter and the director is that the screenwriter is good at using emotions to exaggerate the atmosphere, but the director prefers to express it through the lens.

    However, the script describes the latest technological fighter jets from the United States. The Harrier fighter jet is the latest research result of the United States. It just entered service in the Air Force last year. However, the script has already written about the protagonist using this high-tech product to fight terrorists and finally win.  .

    "Oh, actually, the script was written by Claude. He was just about to try his luck in Hollywood, and I happened to see this script. I thought it was very good, so I brought it to you." When Cameron asked  Let me tell you this when writing the script.  Arnold said it simply.

    The name Claude was very unfamiliar to Mai Chengxiong, and he didn¡¯t know who he was, so he looked at the two people in confusion.

    "Oh, it turns out it's him. This Claude is a very good French screenwriter and director. He just won the French C¨¦sar Award. By the way, is he still in Hollywood now?" Obviously, Cameron was interested in this.  Claude was still very familiar with him and knew him somewhat. At this time, he immediately asked about his whereabouts, obviously wanting to win over him.

    "True Lies", the first impression of the movie is that the scene is grand. Both the action and the scene production are refreshing to everyone. In addition, this is what impressed everyone the most. The romantic atmosphere of the movie is very strong.  , which is very different from Cameron's previous films. It turns out that the screenwriter of this script is a French screenwriter, so it was easy to accept it.  Mai Chengxiong is also somewhat interested in this Claude.

    Arnold shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly to the two people: "Claude is still in Hollywood now. But he soon returned to France. The ways of Hollywood were not suitable for him, so he decided to return to France.  of

    Both Mak Cheng-hsiung and Cameron had expressions of pity on their faces.  Focus on this script immediately.  Although this script is excellent, the design inside is very grand. Cameron and Mak Chengxiong simply made a budget and realized what it would be like to shoot such a script.  Expected to need to be ticked.  Ten thousand US dollars in funding, this figure is really shocking, even the most capable director Cameron has some concerns in his eyes.

    This script probably didn¡¯t fall into Arnold¡¯s hands for the first time. He probably also submitted it to other film companies.  However, the production cost is too high.  So he was rejected, so he finally fell into the hands of Arnold. Arnold naturally knew what Mak Chengxiong and Cameron were thinking. At this time, he also said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I just saw that this script is very good. And  The story here is beyond our understanding, but the budget is too high, so no one dares to film it. This is a very good script. But it still does not reflect the value of the film. When this. After the film is screened. Immediately  It brought great fame to the starring Arnold and director Cameron. This movie is also the most excellent of their works. Without it, both of them would be much bleaker. Moreover, Mak Chengxiong also knew,  It was because of filming this film that Cameron's thinking changed a lot, and it can be regarded as a transformation. Then he made "Titanic" that shocked the world, so naturally Mak Chengxiong will not give up this time.  This opportunity. He resolutely filmed the script.

    Claude was very surprised. He didn¡¯t expect that Digital Realm would actually buy his script. The price didn¡¯t matter, but he really wanted this work to appear on the screen if they decided to shoot it.  It doesn't matter even if it is given to them, what he hopes most is to see this script on the screen.

    So the negotiation with Claude went very smoothly, when I learned that the digital field would actually invest.  When it cost ten thousand dollars to shoot this film, Claude was stunned. In fact, as a screenwriter, he naturally knew to complete this.  The script required a very large investment, so he simply couldn't complete it.  Other film companies also rejected him because of the high production costs. This time, he changed his view on the digital field even more.

    So this cooperation is very pleasant.  Claude handed the script into Cameron's hands at a very low price, almost half-sold, half-given.

    "Mai, are you really going to invest millions of dollars to film this script?" Cameron approached Mak Chengxiong. He knew Mak Chengxiong's character very well. This is a huge number, not a small number.  With his stingy character, it is difficult for him to pay such a high price, so Cameron is very uncertain and mustOnly after hearing Mak Cheng-hsiung's affirmative answer could I believe it.

    Mai Chengxiong was a little helpless. After all, he was a big boss, so of course his words must count.  This time, Shi nodded and said: "Of course, this script is very good, why not film it?"

    Cameron¡¯s expression looked like he had eaten a fly. He looked at Mai Chengxiong in disbelief with his mouth open.  If allowed at this time.  He will definitely come up to tease Mai Chengxiong. It seems that Mai Chengxiong, who is in trouble, was hired by someone else. However, the intimidation that Mai Chengxiong gave him will not cause trouble at the age of Tai Sui.

    According to Cameron¡¯s understanding, Mak Sing-hsiung is very stingy when making movies. Take the film "The Last Days" as an example. The production cost was only 10,000 US dollars. To this day, he still thinks that Mak Sing-hsiung was like that.  If more investment could be made at that time, this film would not have the same box office figures as it does now.  This film may break the U.S. box office record in one fell swoop, rather than ranking fifth. The films above it are in Cameron's eyes, except for "Aliens" and "Star Wars".  Several others.  None of the films can compete with this film, but it is surprising enough that Tian Wan's investment of US$10,000 can create such a box office record. However, the director and starring actors of this film are both Asians, so it is not as popular in the United States as  Other films pay that attention.  But it is destined that Mak Cheng-hsiung has become a more attention-grabbing figure in Hollywood.

    After the news of the filming of "Mandarin Duck Agent" has been released, it is estimated that it will immediately cause a sensation in Hollywood, after all.  Wan's large-scale production is unique even in Hollywood.

    "Of course, there are still many flaws in this script. For example, the plot design is a bit too simple. We have spent so much money this time, so of course we have to put in a lot of effort. First we have to change the name, "Mandarin Duck Agent"  It's too bland, why not change it to "True Lies", which is very suitable for the theme of this script. How about it?" Mak Chengxiong calmly began to ask Cameron for his thoughts. After all, this time it was for him, Mak Chengxiong  I just decided to make a big hemorrhage. Hollywood has just acquired the theater chain, and now the operating funds are stretched thin to film this.  For the film, Mak Cheng-hsiung had to mobilize funds from DreamWorks to inject it into the digital field.

    Not only that, Mak Cheng-hsiung also slowly came up with several very classic shots, but the ones written in the script were too bland, so he wanted to elicit Cameron's thoughts.  Dig out all these shots, like the action at the beginning.  There is also the horse riding chase and so on.

    Cameron was originally fascinated by the story of this script.  Now after listening to what Mai Chengxiong said.  He suddenly discovered this.  The script could be filmed in another situation, and it was also an effect that he could not imagine. At this time, his whole mind was filled with the plot design based on Mak Chengxiong's opinions, and his eyes flickered.  Obviously he already has good insights into this script. Mak Cheng-hsiung does not want to get involved this time. He wants Cameron to design it himself, so that the most profitable director in the future can grow up quickly.

    "What, Cameron, you are just an out-and-out asshole. What do you mean?"

    Mak Chengxiong¡¯s face was so angry that he was deformed because Cameron actually threw an unfinished script in front of Mak Chengxiong. This was the script for "Tomb Raider".  Cameron still has the last paragraph to finish, but now his mind is filled with the plot of "True Lies", so he can't finish the script at all, and his previous interest has been wiped out. At this time, he simply  Throw this mess to Mai Chengxiong.

    Cameron said bitterly: "Mai, don't be so excited. My mind is full of "True Lies" right now. How do you want me to finish this book? And we have already discussed this "Tomb Raider".  You also know the ending very well, and I also believe in your ability and believe that the ending you wrote will be even better. That¡¯s why I gave this book to you to complete."

    In fact, the script for "Tomb Raider" was almost completed, so Cameron gave up.  Now that he is very interested in "True Lies", these details are left to Mak Cheng-hsiung.

    While Cameron was thinking deeply, something suddenly occurred to him. At this time, he said to Mak Chengxiong: "Mai, this. The script is a movie that we have invested a lot of money in, so our focus in the future will also be on this movie.  Is that what I said?" Mai Chengxiong's roar had already attracted Stan, who was busy studying, and found that there was no problem between the two of them, this.  Sometimes I felt a little depressed and wanted to walk out. Now this Stan is also obsessed.  I only care about his special effects skills.  He doesn't care about other things, but Cameron.  The guy is even more outrageous. Fortunately, Lasseter has entered the digital field again. Otherwise, this company will be like no other.

    Lasseter originally said that Mai ChengxiongThe quarrel with Cameron felt very worrying, but after a few days of contact, I realized that it was not what I thought.  It turned out that the two of them had known each other for a long time and were used to this kind of discussion, so they didn't take it to heart. They just came to the room to take a look and then turned around and left.

    At this time, Mai Chengxiong said to Cameron with a dark face: "Of course, you must know that this filming cost me thousands of dollars. If you don't pay attention, I will definitely repair you." Then Mai Chengxiong continued.  I made a picture of my heart bleeding, which immediately attracted Lasseter and Stan.  Human smile.

    Cameron looks very proud now.  He looked like a man who had stolen something, and his expression was in need of a beating.  He said proudly: "That's it. In this case, my work from now on will completely revolve around this. The script has unfolded, so I decided to put aside everything around me temporarily until the script is ready."¡±

    "Of course! There is a conspiracy. This guy Cameron is so proud. Even if I beat him to death, Mak Cheng-hsiung wouldn't believe that he didn't have his own conspiracy. Only then did he suddenly realize that this guy said this. In other words, he gave up directing "The Tombs"  The movie "Beautiful Shadow".

    This shameless bastard, Mai Chengxiong wanted to pull this bastard out at this moment.  Give him a good beating. This is an act of escaping from the battlefield. We are about to prepare for filming, but the director gives up the challenge. Anyone would be furious.

    At this time, Cameron said to Mak Chengxiong seriously: "Mai, you just told me. From now on, my work will be based on this script as the main work, and "True Lies" is also the first one since the establishment of our digital field.  Of course you have to go all out for a film with the largest investment. Are you regretting it? If so, I would rather not film it than ruin such an excellent script.

    Cameron's shamelessness reached the extreme. Unexpectedly, before Mak Chengxiong came to him, he immediately beat him up.  Mai Chengxiong was unable to refute.  At this time, the smile on his face became even brighter, and Mai Chengxiong couldn't help but tell him why the flowers were so red.

    Mai Chengxiong suppressed the anger in his heart.  After all, Cameron is also a stubborn guy, and he still needs to change his mind on this matter. At this time, he said softly: "Cameron, think about it, "Tomb Raider" is the script you completed.  , only you can produce the best results, are you just going to watch your results being ruined by others? And now you ask me to find someone to direct, who do you want me to find? "

    This is Cameron.  He also thought about it for a moment. After all, what Mak Cheng-hsiung said was very correct, but now his mind was filled with the shadow of "True Lies".  He had no intention of filming at all, but this time, Cameron suddenly set his sights on Mak Chengxiong. This guy once again had his boss's idea in mind.

    Mai Chengxiong pointed at himself and asked: "Why do you want me to take pictures?" Mai Chengxiong was very angry now. Unexpectedly, this guy was like a shameless prostitute. He put up his pants and refused to admit it.

    Cameron found today to be his most proud day. He smiled and said to Mak Cheng-hsiung: "Of course, Mak, the director I admire most in Hollywood is you. Not only are you good at writing scripts, but you also have great experience in directing."  It's great. You have to believe in yourself. Maybe you can create a miracle again this time and shoot another "The Love of Ghosts". So I think it's best for you to direct this film.  Mak Cheng-hsiung didn't agree with this. At this moment, his nose was almost crooked with anger. After all, he still knew how much he weighed. Although he had directed several films, the scenes were very small. He could completely grasp them in his hands.  Movies, such as "God of Gamblers", almost all rely on the acting skills of actors, but this "Tomb Raider" is different, the scenes are grand. The plot is more delicate, so this time filming, we must find  A talented director who can grasp the overall situation

    Cameron has already decided that he will go all out with the film "True Lies" this time.  Even if Mai Chengxiong tells the truth, he will not change. Mai Chengxiong regrets it very much now. I didn't expect this guy to be so irresponsible. The change was too sudden. If he had known this earlier.  If it turns out, this script will not be released in such a hurry.

    While in retreat, Cameron came over and said to Mai Chengxiong as he suggested: "Here, I can help you recommend a candidate. He is also the best candidate. As long as you can invite him, this movie will be successful."  The movie will be even more exciting, Cameron said in a mysterious way.

    "Who is it?" Mai Chengxiong was suddenly confused by this guy's words and couldn't remember the director for a while.

    Cameron smiled and said: "He is the chief director of Universal Company, Steven Spielberg. If you can find him, you can't go wrong. Of course, there is Luca."?, I guess you can't ask him to finish.  Cameron left like a storm.

    Mak Chengxiong watched Cameron disappear.  At this time, I looked helplessly at the ceiling. What this guy said is very correct. Among the contemporary science fiction masters, Spielberg, Lucas and Cameron are the most successful, and all three of them are able to grasp the overall situation.  People, if you can really ask them to shoot in the digital field, that would really be the best result, but this is also very unrealistic.

    Lucas is now very hostile to the digital realm.  If you ask him to help with the shooting at this time.  It's nothing more than a fool's dream.

    Spielberg is now the most popular director in Hollywood. He has already become a treasure of Universal Company and is also the chief director of Universal Company. Even if Mak Chengxiong has face, he may not be able to pass the Universal test, so this idea is also  I can only give up.

    It was difficult to hire other big-name directors in Hollywood, including Mak Sing-hung, who was not well-known. In the end, he couldn't find a suitable candidate. At this time, Mak Sing-hung had to start from Hong Kong.  Among the directors, Wu Yusen and Tsui Hark are both very suitable candidates, but Tsui Hark is more suitable for this genre. It seems that I can only choose between them.
