Cameron withstood such tremendous pressure and finally produced Avatar, which set a new box office record in global film history.
At this time, those who had opposed him collectively turned around and became partakers of the cake. How could he and Liu Qingshan be happy?
So even though he knew that this person was calling to urge him under great pressure, Liu Qingshan still refused to let go easily.
Furthermore, those who encouraged him behind the scenes to press for a sequel script were only superficial.
Because the patent for this film IP is in the hands of Liu Qingshan, if they can purchase this patent and have the experience of the first film, they are fully capable of creating another script.
This is not a question of possibility, but an inevitable result.
Through the market development potential of this series of movies, they realized that Liu Qingshan's Snowland Studio earned huge production fees. This is a fact that some people cannot accept in their hearts.
If Liu Qingshan can be left alone and go it alone, no matter what the final quality of the sequel is, it is certain to make a big profit from it, and he can also get more profit sharing without leaving the money to others.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan, who understood the mystery, could not give up the copyright easily.
"Yes, they have openly boycotted me, but the economy is free, and all living beings in the world are busy working for their own interests?"
"I understand this, but I've always been like this as a human being. How you treated me at the beginning, when you look back, I can only get it back with the same standards!"
"Mr. Liu, now is a civilized society, and your Jianghu theory has long ceased to be popular!"
"Mr. James, I can feel what you are going through right now.
I'm under all kinds of pressure, but don't forget that in addition to being an artist, I'm also a practitioner! There is a saying in our country that people cannot help themselves in the world. There is no reason why I can calmly discuss business with some people after I have been treated unfairly. Let's find another group of people to come to me! "
He made it very clear. It's not that copyright patents cannot be transferred, but I don't accept the consciousness conveyed through your mouth.
Although Cameron said it tactfully and only talked about the script of the sequel, how could such a little trick get him involved? Without objective interests laid out one by one, he would never let go easily.
Moreover, he bluntly pointed out the other party's potential intentions, so he couldn't help but make the other party feel a little embarrassed.
But this is an effect deliberately created by Liu Qingshan. Moreover, when it comes to personal relationships, Cameron is not among those he is willing to make friends with, and the other party actually knows this very well.
At present, Liu Qingshan has a very close relationship with the season film collaboration team. Not only is the script provided for free, but it also includes Martin Scorsese, a big-name Hollywood director on the same level as Cameron, and four legendary superstars. basic lineup.
If he openly breaks up with Fox and related capital, there will be more film companies and capital forces behind these five people, and it will be really hard to predict who will win and who will lose.
After all, Fox only represents one of the eight major film studios. If Liu Qingshan goes out of his way to make a selfless contribution, this film company will only become the target of public criticism, even if it is just for a certain project.
But just like those who once temporarily collapsed
Go's actors, like his crew, were under pressure to treat Fox the same way most actors in Hollywood treated Cameron.
Once such a situation is made public, the subsequent hidden dangers are the most terrifying. After all, a film company that has lost the support of the people may make a small mistake in judgment and become the enemy of the entire Hollywood from now on.
This is also the reason why Liu Qingshan has not gone to Hollywood for a long time.
The cooperative relationship he established with the season film cooperation team is only the first step. If there is no courtesy from more film companies, the result of his rushing in will only be the same as before. encounter.
At this time, Cameron had obviously understood what Liu Qingshan was referring to, and he heard him sigh deeply on the phone: "Mr. Liu, I must have guessed that their ultimate goal is not the script for the sequel?"
Liu Qingshan chuckled and said, "Obviously, I could have earned ten yuan, but after passing through other people's hands, I only ended up with four or five yuan. Of course, I will put that person aside after I become familiar with the entire operation process." Let’s go it alone!”
"Don't you feel angry inside?"
"Mr. James, are you just angry? The same old Chinese saying comes from our country. Taking away people's wealth is like killing their parents. But having said that, I am only in the development stage now. If I face the resistance of the entire Hollywood, I may still lower my head. Go admit defeat, but it’s just Fox, I want to get more favorable conditions, isn’t it too much?”
"Okay, we've finished talking about official matters, and I will report your opinions truthfully! Next, should we talk about our
A personal friendship? "
"Hahaha, Mr. James, you are very cunning. Seeing that threats and inducements failed, you immediately changed your mind? At that time, I decided to cooperate with you because of Aunt Tracy's face. Do you think that the first cooperation was not smooth? Under this premise, is it necessary for us to continue to cooperate?”
Although Cameron had a good relationship with Liu Qingshan when he was stationed in China, it was just a relationship of interest without any emotional basis.
If the great director had shown mutual respect from the beginning when he called tonight, maybe Liu Qingshan would still be perfunctory with him.
But this person had a business-like tone when he first came up, so there was no need for Liu Qingshan to continue to entangle with this person.
His words indeed caused a short period of silence on the other side. The person obviously did not expect Liu Qingshan's attitude change to be so straightforward and direct.
And he knew very well that aside from Liu Qingshan's status as an artist, in fact, his other abilities were something that no one could afford to offend.
Just because of his miraculous medical skills that can almost bring the dead back to life, he will be the target of powerful people from all walks of life.
Because the richer and more powerful a person is, the more afraid he is of death, not to mention that he also possesses a powerful force value that cannot be explained by current science.
So someone else might be wary of his influence as a Hollywood gold medal director, but in Liu Qingshan's eyes, he is just an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, Cameron broke out in cold sweat, and his mind was spinning rapidly, trying to think of how to resolve this person's growing anger.
Obvious unwelcoming attitude.
In fact, Liu Qingshan had a good impression of this person.
But he never expected that just a few months after seeing him, perhaps because his movie once again set a record, causing mental confusion or a temporary psychological expansion, his previous kindness and gentleness changed, and the tone he used changed. Became semi-imperative.
Because his mentality at this time was that he should not be friends with people who have different ideas, and this person has become an ungrateful person.
Since he couldn't get the respect of this person, he decided not to continue to struggle with him: "Mr. Cameron, you see that I am currently at work. Let's talk about this topic later when we have time, or you are looking for someone. Contact me!”
"Mr. Liu is working now?"
"Yeah, I'm filming a travel variety show, and I'm trapped in a desert area right now. I have no place to go, no place to stay, it's pitch dark in private, and I can't see my fingers!"
"I understand, Miss Taylor's show, right? After this filming task is completed, do you think it is possible for us to meet?"
"Forget it. After finishing this work, I still have two movies and a TV series to shoot. I'm afraid I won't have time in a short time!"
At this point, Cameron didn't know what to say and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Liu Qingshan breathed a heavy sigh. In fact, he had no intention of creating the sequel to Avatar. The original sequel was criticized by the market. It didn't have much new news. The film was too long, the lines were dull, and the plot was dragging. It was criticized. Serious doubts are cutting off the leeks of movie fans.
Although the figures after the release are impressive, the high
The issue of price mismatch with the overall quality of the brand is still controversial.
Even though the special effects of the film are indeed shocking and the visual effects are still amazing, the saying "a giant in special effects and a dwarf in plot" has become widely known.
So he originally planned to auction this IP at a high price. The way he treated James Cameron tonight was actually partly to make use of the topic.
But after all, the copyright was in his hands. Since he decided to resell it, it was normal to wait for the price, but he didn't expect that the first person to jump out and give orders would be this old friend he once thought.
But no matter what, it's better to break up early than to be stumbling upon someone in Hollywood later. It's not a bad thing to get to know someone clearly in advance.
But he didn't completely block the road. By telling Ms. Tracy Gerald before, he left a gap with him that could be bridged in the future.
If Cameron was smart, he would take the initiative to find Tracy to be his fault-finder in the future. Without this idea, the two of them would be doomed to drift apart in the future.
And whether the anger or reluctance he showed was normal.
If the project he started is being targeted by others, it is tantamount to the other party putting a greedy hand into his pocket. No one else would be willing to give in, right?
Therefore, Liu Qingshan did not think that his attitude was too extreme at all. On the contrary, he thought that he had given Cameron a lot of face.
For him, this incident was just a minor episode. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to sell the copyright, so he could just continue to rely on it. He was not the one who was impatient.
convoy
It was already half an hour before we set off again.
It was around ten o'clock at this time, which was the early stage of the sudden drop in temperature.
The temperature in the plateau wilderness is extremely low, which is one of the reasons why Liu Qingshan decided to travel non-stop. The extreme cold and the difference in altitude were still very uncomfortable.
And on the following section of the road, the drivers of several cars were all replaced by escorts. Their ability to adapt to the environment far exceeds that of ordinary people, ensuring the safety of this arduous journey.
