Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Titanic", a film about shipwreck and romance, will certainly be seen as extremely bloody in future generations.  However, when it was released in 1997, this film still deeply shocked and moved the world with its sophisticated production, excellent plot and glorious humanity, thus becoming the number one grossing film in history and becoming a global  The total box office exceeded 1.8 billion US dollars!

    It was not until the later "Afa" came out that this box office record was broken.

    The total box office of a movie is 1.8 billion US dollars. When converted into Hong Kong dollars or RMB, it is more than 10 billion, nearly 20 billion, which is more than 99.99% of the people in the world earn in a lifetime.  Much more.  It sounds incredible, but it is indeed true.

    Zhou Xingsheng is rich now, and his net worth has already exceeded tens of billions. If you calculate carefully, it will not be less than this amount of money.

    However, it took more than four years for him to reach his current net worth thanks to the golden finger of the reborn, and the box office of "Titanic" was the same as his.  No matter how unmoved he was by money, thinking that more money was just a bunch of numbers, Zhou Xingsheng had to be shocked by "Titanic" and was equally excited.

    No wonder the entertainment market in later generations is so hot. Capital is all about profit. A movie can make money like this. Billions and tens of billions are earned, which is several times the investment, and the cycle is only a few months. The longest one is  Just for James Cameron's few years of filming, it would be unreasonable not to invest in this market.

    Now, the filming of "Titanic" has not yet started. James Cameron, the guy who clamored "I am the king of the world", has just finished filming his third heavyweight film "The Abyss".  Currently filming a unique series of "Terminator 2".  As for the real filming of "Titanic", it will have to wait until at least 1991.  Or wait until 1992.

    Zhou Xingsheng has not seen "Titanic", even if a 3D version was later made, he has not seen it.

    The reason is that he is not interested in this movie. The plot of a poor guy and a wealthy woman counterattacking in a bloody film and TV show really doesn't arouse any interest in him.

    The movies Zhou Xingsheng likes to watch are about the orientation of a normal young man, who wants to be passionate.  It needs to be passionate, it needs to be hot, and of course it needs to include some hot beauties.

    ??Like the later "Pacific Rim", "Man of Steel", "Avatar" these are very suitable for him.

    But now, for the sake of money, Zhou Xingsheng is still happy to prepare "Titanic" in advance to plunder the money in the hands of people all over the world.  Especially the money in the hands of the American people, he loves it most, and the colorful and beautiful knives are loved by everyone.

    So, after flying to the United States, I stayed at the company's Ramada Hotel for one night.  On the one hand, Zhou Xingsheng arranged for people to start acquiring the film company. On the other hand, he also arranged for Wang Jiajia to meet James Cameron and asked to meet with him to discuss the issue of "Titanic".

    "Titanic" was released in 1997 and took five years to film.  It should have started filming in 1991 or 1992.  But Cameron should already have the idea for this movie.

    Because in 1985.  Countries in Europe and the United States rushed to report on the discovery of the remains of the sunken Titanic, which caused an uproar. I believe that many people must have deep memories, especially for creative personnel in the film and television industry.

    As for Cameron not having the idea yet, Zhou Xingsheng doesn¡¯t think it matters. As long as he says he has the idea first, the initiative is in his hands.

    ?Perhaps, he can also get the copyright of "Titanic" in his hands.  After the movie is released, we can develop movie peripherals, and then carry out a series of copyright operations such as publishing books, recording CDs, and producing 3D versions in the future, which will bring in a lot of money.

    Cameron agreed to Zhou Xingsheng¡¯s invitation and made an appointment to discuss it at the Ramada Hotel.

    At three o¡¯clock in the afternoon on August 3, Cameron came as promised.

    Cameron¡¯s appearance is not surprising. Like most European and American people, he has a hooked nose and sunken eyes.  However, Cameron's height surprised Zhou Xingsheng. He was so tall that he was a head taller than him when standing next to him!

    Zhou Xingsheng estimated that Cameron should be 1.9 meters tall, which made him very depressed.

    In Zhou Xingsheng¡¯s memory, Cameron should not be a tall man, but a short but stern old man. Who would have thought that he would look like this, tall, young and tough, a standard American man.  If Cameron puts on jeans and a cowboy hat, the first impression that comes to anyone who looks at him will be "Western Cowboy"!

    But then he thought about it, and Zhou Xingsheng also realized that he was different. It was only 1990 now, and there were still 22 years before 2012. It was enough for a strong western cowboy to transform into a gray-haired old man.?.

    "Mr. Cameron, it's nice to meet you. I'm a big fan of yours. I like to watch several of the movies you directed, such as "The Abyss", "Alien" and "Terminator". I think they will all be popular.  A century-old classic." After the two parties introduced it, Zhou Xingsheng boasted as soon as he opened his mouth.

    He did not speak English, although he could still speak English smoothly after his rebirth. He spoke Mandarin, and he spoke to Wang Jiajia.

    Wang Jiajia is the secretary and the temporary translator for this meeting with Cameron.

    It must be said that the abilities of college students who graduated in the 1980s are quite outstanding.  Like Wang Jiajia, although she has never been abroad, she speaks American English very smoothly and idiomatically, which is more than enough to serve as a translator.

    Cameron didn't pay attention to this detail, nor was he carried away by Zhou Xingsheng's flattering words. Instead, he said straight to the point: "Zhou, I heard that you want to make the story of Titanic into a movie. Is this true? Yes?  Any specific plans?¡±

    Zhou Xingsheng smiled and said: "Of course it's true, and I think this film must be directed by Mr. Cameron, so I took the liberty of wanting to meet Mr. Cameron. I just don't know, Mr. Cameron's interest in me  What do you think of this proposal? But I think Mr. Cameron must also want to make this story into a movie, otherwise he would not come to meet with me today."

    Cameron did not deny it, but nodded and admitted directly: "I did have this idea after the remains of the Titanic were found. It was really a tragedy. I once thought about whether to transport it  Reproduce it in the form of a movie so that the world can witness that tragic history? So I have been thinking about this idea intermittently. However, I am too busy, so I have not completed the idea until now. I think,  I should wait until I finish the sequel to "Terminator" before I have time."

    Zhou Xingsheng thought about this passage for a while and then said with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Cameron has ever considered recreating this tragic history through a touching love story and showing the glorious humanity? Love is  It is an eternal topic in human society, and I believe this will be recognized and resonated by people all over the world!"

    "Lovelove?"

    After murmuring several words, Cameron suddenly opened his eyes wide, slapped the table, looked at him in surprise, and said loudly: "Oh my God, this idea is so wonderful, Zhou, tell you, how did you come up with it?"  ? Shown through love, I believe that this will definitely be an immortal masterpiece that shocks the world, if it is filmed."

    Cameron's excitement was unimaginable. He even wanted to go over and give Zhou Xingsheng a bear hug. It was Zhou Xingsheng's respectful and indifferent expression that made him calm down a little.

    Zhou Xingsheng is really not used to the way European and American people express their passion. Regardless of gender, they often hug and kiss.

    "I wonder if Mr. Cameron is interested in accepting my invitation to reproduce this period of history in front of the world in the form of a movie? I promise not to interfere with the filming work as an investor, and the investment amount is at least US$100 million.  Come on?" Zhou Xingsheng quickly put forward his invitation.

    James Cameron was startled for a moment, then looked at him with a complicated expression and asked, "Does Mr. Zhou believe me so much?"

    An investment of 100 million U.S. dollars is an unprecedented large investment in Hollywood. There are not many film companies that have such a large sum of money. They can only be counted on one hand.  Not to mention, what Zhou Xingsheng wants to shoot now is just a romance film, and the investment is at least 100 million US dollars!

    Cameron had to admit that this was very attractive to him.

    So far, Cameron has never made a film with such a large investment. The previous "Terminator", "Alien", and "The Abyss" all involved investments of either several million dollars or over ten million dollars.  An unprecedented investment of 100 million US dollars is undoubtedly a huge challenge for him, and he is already eager to try it.

    However, there is no such thing as pie in the sky for no reason, so Cameron did not agree immediately, but asked cautiously: "I wonder what Mr. Zhou's request is?"

    Zhou Xingsheng said that he would not interfere in the filming work, and everything would be subject to him. Cameron would just listen to it. He is not a three-year-old child, so of course he would not take it seriously.

    Zhou Xingsheng was secretly happy at this time. Cameron said this, which meant that his heart was moved. If his heart was moved, his plan would be half successful.

    Zhou Xingsheng then said: "Please don't worry, I just have two small requests."

    Cameron raised his brows, thinking that it was just as he expected, and said, "Please tell me."

    Zhou Xingsheng smiled and said: "Both requests are easy. For the first request, I hope that Mr. Cameron can strive for excellence and shoot real shocks. If necessary, I think they can be combined"Today's computer technology.  "

    Cameron was startled, looked at him with an incredible look, and replied: "Of course, I will do this even if you don't say it, Mr. Zhou."

    Zhou Xingsheng nodded and made his second request: "Second request, I think the heroine can be played by an actor from my film company. This is her information. Mr. Cameron can take it back and look at it.  , give me your answer after you think about it carefully.¡±

    ¡°As he spoke, he motioned to Wang Jiajia to hand Li Jiaxin¡¯s information to Cameron.

    Cameron took it with ease, looking a little helpless, and finally said: "Okay, Mr. Zhou, I will seriously consider it."

    Zhou Xingsheng stood up, smiled and extended his right hand: "I look forward to cooperating with you."

    "Thank you!" Cameron replied.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m to read.
