"Mr. Cameron, what's your second problem?" Asked Lin Feng.
"Ha ha, this has more to do with Mr. Lin. I want to make "Avatar" a 3D movie, and Mr. Lin has the best 3D movie technology in the world. I hope to get the help of IMAX, a subsidiary of second world owned by Mr. Lin, during the shooting James Cameron, please.
Originally, James Cameron wanted to make avatar a regular Hollywood blockbuster. However, after witnessing the 3D version of Lin Feng's investment in shooting the sequel of "Yitian Tulong Ji: the demon cult leader", James Cameron had an idea. He wants to make "Avatar" into 3D, and he believes that "Avatar" will be better than "Yitian Tulong Ji: the sequel of the cult leader". Because "Avatar" is a science fiction film. In the world of "Avatar", the whole planet Pandora is magnificent. The plants, animals and mountains of Pandora are different from the earth. The local conditions and customs of another planet can only be better displayed in front of the audience through 3D movies.
However, for now, the final 3D film technology is in the hands of IMAX, a subsidiary of second world owned by Lin Feng. If you want to reproduce the world of avatar perfectly, you must rely on the technology of IMAX company, so James Cameron has to rely on Lin Feng. What's more, Lin Feng is also the richest man in the world, which helps him solve the financial problem.
"Mr. Cameron, this is not a problem. Since I'm an investor, I naturally hope that this avatar can be perfect. Otherwise, my $500 million will be lost. " Lin Feng laughs. It's not really any problem.
"Congratulations, Congratulations! James, it seems that this time you're going to have a "Cameron fever" again Spielberg saw Lin Feng and James Cameron reach a preliminary agreement and immediately congratulated them.
Avatar of 3D movie! Although Spielberg has not seen the script of "Avatar" and has only seen a limited number of 3D films, he is quite optimistic about the combination of Lin Feng and James Cameron. With Lin Feng's capital, computer technology, and James Cameron's talent in script and directing, it's hard to make avatar a success.
At this time, Avril, Li Zhiyou and others also came to celebrate their agreement. Although the two just reached a preliminary oral agreement, as for some details, such as dividends and other issues, that can be resolved through negotiation. The biggest problem to solve is no longer the problem behind.
But at this time, Lin Feng suddenly said something amazing again.
"Mr. Cameron, I have another request for avatar!" Lin Feng said solemnly.
All of them look at Lin Feng. I don't know how Lin Feng looks so serious now.
"Mr. Lin, please go ahead!" James Cameron's heart, which he had just put down, hung up again. Although he didn't know what Lin Feng wanted to say, he instinctively felt that what Lin Feng was about to say must have a lot to do with Avatar.
People hold their breath and look at Lin Feng quietly.
Lin Feng took a deep breath.
"Mr. Cameron, I hope that after the release of avatar, I won't take part in the selection of Oscar!" Lin Feng said softly. However, although Lin Feng's tone was very light, it was no less than a thunderbolt to all those who heard about it.
Lin Feng asked that the most expensive movie in history, with a cost of 500 million US dollars, written by James Cameron, the most famous Hollywood director, and directed by himself, avatar, would not take part in the "Oscar" selection. This is really a rather excessive request. After all, for American directors, whether they like the "Oscars" or not, it is a great honor to be able to win awards on them. Now, Lin Feng wants to deprive avatar of its glory.
James Cameron's face sank immediately. Although he doesn't mind being shot by Lin Feng occasionally to touch the bad luck of "Oscar", he never hopes that his carefully made film will become the victim of the struggle between Lin Feng and "Oscar".
"Lin, it's unfair for you to treat avatar like this. If it's really excellent, it should be awarded and praised by the world." Spielberg saw that James Cameron had a bad face, and he was afraid that they would make a quarrel and make a shocking work that should have been published die prematurely. At the same time, he was also afraid that they would have a feud, so Spielberg quickly made it over.
James Cameron's face is slightly gentle, and his eyes are looking at Lin Feng without blinking. He wants to see how Lin Feng is going to give him an answer, so that he can agree with his first request.
Avril and others on one side are also nervous. Jessica Alba, in particular, is very clear about the appeal of James Cameron in Hollywood. Once Lin Feng really goes against him for this reason, Jessica can imagine that in the future, it will be very difficult to recruit actors for "second entertainment" movies in the United States, and even no cinema will be willing to play "second entertainment" movies.
Lin Feng saw that everyone was nervous, but he was smiling.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not saying" Avatar "won't be awarded. I'm just saying" Avatar "won't be allowed to participate in the" Oscar "contest. Is there only one "Oscar" award in the world, or is it not an excellent film if it doesn't win the "Oscar" Lin Feng asked them.
There was a moment of meditation. Especially for James Cameron and Spielberg, they are more thoughtful. For a long time, no matter how famous a director is, he can not ignore the people of the "Oscars" Organizing Committee, but he always has a little concern about the awards set up by the "Oscars". Although I don't get angry because I can't get it, I'm always very happy if I can win the prize. I feel that this is also a kind of recognition for my own film.
But at the moment, hearing Lin Feng's words, the two Hollywood directors suddenly feel that they seem to be a little too attached to winning the prize. After all, the so-called "Oscar" awards are just a small number of awards judged by the judges. They represent only part of the voice of the film, not all. Is it really bad for these judges to say that the film is not good?
How does a movie judge its quality—— It's a very beginner's question, but it's haunting Hollywood's two golden directors at the moment.
However, as long as they are mortals, they are more or less in pursuit of honor. Therefore, James Cameron and Spielberg still feel that their hard-working films should be honored.
"Mr. Lin..." after thinking for a moment, James Cameron decided to talk to Lin Feng again. You know, to crack down on the "Oscar", it is not necessary to let the excellent films decide not to participate in the "Oscar", but also to shoot more good films to win the "Oscar" award, which is a kind of shame to the "Oscar". James Cameron is confident that his avatar will definitely win the "Oscar" award.
Lin Feng saw James Cameron's mind at a glance and immediately laughed.
"Mr. Cameron, there is absolutely no possibility that Oscar and I can make up again. It's enough to be beaten once in the face. If you extend your face to be beaten again, you'll find yourself beaten. I, Lin Feng, am not so cheap! " There was an indisputable momentum in Lin Feng's tone. Like James Cameron, it's quite boring to prove what he said by going to the "Oscar" through movies.
Since "Oscar" can make his "Yitian Tulong Ji's demon cult leader sequel" a fiasco, it can also make "Avatar" a fiasco in the future. After all, both sides have torn their faces. When the "Oscar" organizing committee does so, no one else will say anything. Moreover, even if "Oscar" is willing to let "Avatar" win the prize, Lin Feng may not want to.
When James Cameron heard Lin Feng's words, his face turned ugly. He is a Hollywood gold medal director and has his own personality and temper. Lin Feng was a little reluctant to see him when he was forced to do so. Although Lin Feng's capital and technology are what he needs, it's not that he can't find a replacement, it's just that he needs to spend more time. And time, he has. At least avatar can wait.
Seeing that the two seem to be breaking up, Spielberg suddenly comes to his wit in a hurry and remembers another meaning in Lin Feng's words just now.
"Lin, you just said there are more than one grand prize in the world? What awards do you want this avatar to take part in in the future? Cannes Film Festival? Or the Venice International Film Festival Asked Spielberg.
Lin Fengyan gives Spielberg a grateful look. If you can, Lin Feng absolutely does not want to quarrel with James Cameron. Thanks to Spielberg, otherwise they would have fallen out. After all, there is a conflict of fundamental interests between them.
"Spielberg, I'm not going to let avatar take part in these awards in the future. After all, both Venice International Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival are world-wide awards, while avatar is an American film. American capital operation, American director shooting, and American actor performance, naturally, are also American Film Awards. " Lin Feng said slowly. For James Cameron, Spielberg and other Hollywood gold medal directors, in this world's film industry, there is only one Hollywood, and other film awards are floating clouds. This is a kind of American self-esteem and pride, because the United States has always been the pioneer and leader of global film. Therefore, for James Cameron and others, what they are most eager to win is definitely the American Film Awards. That's better than any prize at Venice International Film Festival or Cannes Film Festival.
The two cannot be compared in the same day! Therefore, Lin Feng had this kind of American capital operation, American director shooting... And so on. This is to curry favor with James Cameron, but also a declaration of their own ambitions.
All the people were foolish when they heard the words. The people who Lin Feng said did not understand. In the American film industry, there is only one award, that is the Academy Award. But Lin Feng doesn't allow "Avatar" to participate in the "Oscar", and disdains to participate in those international film festivals. What is Lin Feng going to win for "Avatar"—— People are very confused.
Spielberg is still knowledgeable and sophisticated. Suddenly, he already understood what Lin Feng wanted to do.
This boy is too bold, too bull—— Think of this possibility, Spielberg is a face of consternation, feel Lin Feng is too incredible, actually want to do so, this is a bit strange. However, thinking of Lin Feng's past behavior, Spielberg seems to have a little insight. Perhaps, only people like Lin Feng can do such things.
"Mr. Lin, what are you trying to say?" Asked James Cameron, frowning and puzzled.
Lin Feng smiles.
"Mr. Cameron, I just want to tell you that there will be another film award in the United States, which is the Lin Feng film festival that I will hold next year. At that time, all films in the United States will compete for the final award after passing the selection. " Lin Feng said with pride.
Hum, all the onlookers felt the brain hum.
Lin Feng film festival? What do you mean? Does it mean that Lin Feng is going to set up a "Lin Feng film festival" to fight against the "Oscar" in revenge for the "Oscar"—— Everyone looked at Lin Feng and felt that he was a little crazy.
"Ha ha, I'm going to set up the" Lin Feng film festival "to compete with the" Academy Awards ", and it will be held on the same day. As for the award ceremony, it will also be opposite the Kodak Theater. In a word, my "Lin Feng film festival" is just to retaliate for the "Oscar Awards!" Lin Feng did not avoid his intention, announced to the public loudly.
James - Cameron and Spielberg look at each other, are a face of shock. Since Lin Feng and "Oscar" fell out, Hollywood has been speculating about how Lin Feng would retaliate against "Oscar". Unexpectedly, Lin Feng finally took the most extreme and lethal means of retaliation, playing directly against "Oscar" and holding it on the same day.
Think about it. If the most famous American directors, the most popular stars and the most crazy fans all gather at the gate of this "Lin Feng film festival", how can the "Oscar" opposite be embarrassed? I'm afraid the organizing committee will go to the Atlantic on the spot.
"Of course, although I'm retaliating against the Oscars, I'm sure it will be the most important and the best film festival in the United States. And there will never be any prejudice, any brain damage Lin Feng made a careful promise.
Now it's up to James Cameron to choose!
