Houston Rockets—— Lin Feng was slightly stunned.
"Ha ha, Lin, now your Houston Rockets are the most popular NBA team in the United States, and their fame and attention are no less than the Los Angeles Lakers who formed the" F4 "this year. And the Houston Rockets now have the same record as the Los Angeles Lakers, 36-18, ranking first in the western region. In addition, the Houston Rockets have James LeBron and Wade, who are the strongest newcomers in this year, plus Jordan, Yao Ming and Lin, who are the "God of basketball". If we don't make use of them, it's really outrageous. " James Cameron exclaimed.
As an American, Hollywood director, James Cameron is undoubtedly a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers. But I never thought that the Houston Rockets, a team that has declined to become the fish belly of the league, will return to the top team of the league in just two years. Among them, the outstanding young man is the one who planned the sensational deal of the Houston Rockets in the past two years, which makes the Houston Rockets strong. Maybe in the next decade, the Houston Rockets will be the top team in the league.
"James, what do you want to do?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
"It's very simple. I want them to advertise your Qianyuan mobile phone. Lin, never forget the star effect. " James Cameron has a point.
"James, what do you mean..." Lin Feng was not stupid. Naturally, he recognized that there was something in his words.
"Lin, I guess you may want to cultivate future stars with excellent scripts and excellent directors, but now your film company has just been established and is still very young. You want to compete with the" Oscar alliance "of Sony Columbia Pictures, 20th Century Fox and other film companies, You have to come up with a blockbuster that is both good and good to attract the audience to your cinema. " James Cameron said.
Lin Feng frowned. This James Cameron always seems to have something to say.
"Ha ha, I know. You may say that the all American fan club you founded has more than 700000 members, but if you look carefully, you should know that most of them, more than 90%, are young people, and these people are undoubtedly the most changeable. Maybe they are supporting you now, but they may oppose you next second. Young people in the United States are rebellious and far less loyal than those who already have a family. Moreover, they have too many entertainment activities, and movies are only one of their last choices. The real mainstream audience of American movies are those who are married. You can't imagine how proud these people are of American movies. You can say that they are still very disgusted with the fact that you are playing against the Oscars. Maybe in the future, these people will instinctively resist your movies and won't enter your cinema. " James Cameron said with great care.
Lin Fengwen was lost in thought. James - Cameron is Hollywood gold medal director, he said so naturally is not to deceive themselves, but has its own thing. After thinking about it, Lin Feng looks at James Cameron and expects him to give him a solution.
"Lin, if you want to attract these people to your cinema and make them approve of your movie, you must play the star card and use the charm of big stars to attract them!" James Cameron is serious.
When James Cameron learned that Lin Feng and Ellison were going to try their best to build a new movie star, he was secretly complaining. Although he and Spielberg agreed to sign a contract with "second entertainment" film company, in addition to being attracted by Lin Feng's script and capital and fully authorized in the process of filming, what's more important is that Lin Feng's "second entertainment" acquired "MGM pictures", an old film company with a high reputation in the United States, These conditions add up to the reason why he and Spielberg are willing to sign Lin Feng's "second entertainment".
It's just that Lin Feng has never thought that it's really unwise for him to fight against the "Academy Awards" and the "Oscar League". Americans who are absolutely proud of Hollywood movies may not buy Lin Feng. As for the so-called "national fan club" has more than 700000 registered members, Shenma is floating. James Cameron can say that most of the 700000 registered members are definitely Chinese Americans, and they are still young Chinese Americans.
James Cameron was right. There are about 14.4 million Chinese Americans in the United States, and these 14.4 million Chinese Americans are the main force among the members of the "national fan club" established by Lin Feng. Although they are Chinese, they still have the blood of the Chinese people. Therefore, no matter how the outside world comments on Lin Feng, their support for Lin Feng is absolute. Because we are all Chinese.
However, if Lin Feng wants to rely on these people, he will be able to sweep the "Oscar Awards" which have been deeply rooted in the United States, and sweep the major film companies in the United States, it is absolutely a fool's dream. Not to mention sweeping, in James Cameron's view, whether Lin Feng's films will be made by anyone willing to go to the cinema is the same thing.
Therefore, James Cameron proposed that Lin Feng should play the star card and Hollywood superstar card to attract the audience to the cinema. Of course, this is not enough to solve the fundamental problem.
"Lin, if you want your" second entertainment "to be truly accepted by the Americans, and your" Lin Feng film festival "to be supported by the Americans, you have only one way!" James Cameron said seriously.
Lin Feng has been awakened by James Cameron's remarks at the moment. He is sweating over his previous blind optimism. He deeply laments that if James Cameron didn't guide him like this, I'm afraid he would really be blind and optimistic to the end. After opening the files of the national fan club, Lin Feng was surprised to find that nine of the 10 files were of Chinese origin, and another one was not necessarily an American.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt that his heart was cool.
"Mr. Cameron, please tell me!" Lin Feng's sincere inquiry even changed the honorific name between the words. As a teacher, James Cameron is Lin Feng's teacher at this time.
James Cameron smiles. A child can be taught, but he is not reckless. He is very careful. Of course, he has his purpose. But his goal, needs Lin Feng to realize!
"Lin, there is only one way to make your film, your company and your" Lin Feng film festival "acceptable to the American audience. That is to make the war in the film industry a war between the Americans and the Americans, not a war between the Chinese and the Americans!" James Cameron said.
The war between Americans and Americans—— Lin Feng's mind was a little turbid, but then he understood.
Americans are very proud and arrogant. For more than 200 years, the United States has always been the most powerful country in the world, and Hollywood movies are the originator of the world's movies and the target pursued by movies from all over the world. It can be said that Hollywood movies have a supreme position in the hearts of Americans. However, when I suddenly stepped in, I was even more against the "Oscar Awards", which undoubtedly made many Americans unhappy. I am afraid that I have become an "invader" in the hearts of Americans, a naked invader of the American film industry.
When he became the "aggressor" in the hearts of the American people, Lin Feng could imagine how miserable the box office of his film company would be in the future. And in the United States invested heavily in the construction of the cinema, I'm afraid can only be described as empty door. If we want to change this situation, we can only turn it into a war of "Americans and Americans", as James Cameron said, so that we will no longer be an "aggressor".
Of course, Lin Feng is still puzzled.
"Mr. Cameron, but even if I change the president of the company to an American, will it become an American movie in the eyes of American audiences? Is my "Lin Feng film festival" the American Film Festival Lin Feng doubted whether he could deceive the Americans.
James Cameron, smile.
"Lin, Americans are the proudest nation in the world, and also the largest nation in the world. This nation has the spirit of tolerance, which can be seen from the proportion of the major ethnic groups in the American population. As long as your company employs American employees and produces American style films, American audiences will accept them instead of considering them as invasion of foreign cultures. It can be said that, on one hand, Americans are also very comfortable. " James Cameron pointed out.
Lin Feng thought about it and nodded, but if so, would it not be a failure to promote Chinese culture?
"Lin, if you want to promote Chinese culture, it's not a problem. Just go through the early stage of making American people accept your film company. After they approve your film company and festival, why not make more Chinese culture themed films. Don't you see crouching tiger, hidden dragon as popular in the United States! " James Cameron said.
When Lin Feng heard this, he suddenly realized and got up to bow respectfully to James Cameron. With James Cameron's advice today, his company will not be hit hard in the United States. Otherwise, I'm afraid that not only will I have to pay for everything, but even Ellison will be implicated by himself. Although the money, for the two people will not hurt, but it will undoubtedly become a laughing stock. And this is absolutely what Lin Feng and Ellison don't want to see.
"James, I don't understand. You are an American too. Why do you help me so much? This is against your country. " Lin Feng was puzzled.
James Cameron smiles.
"Lin, who said I'm American, I'm Canadian! It's just that I've become an American citizen! But I'm still Canadian at heart! " James Cameron said with pride( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
