Cameron was not a prolific director when he first debuted.

Counting his film career, in more than 20 years, the total number of films he made are not as many as Fatty Wang sometimes made in a year.

Starting from "Titanic", Cameron has become a standard ten-year sharpening sword. After "Titanic" was released in November 1997, "Avatar" was released at the end of 2009. As for the legendary

There was no news about "Avatar 2" in 2013, and it is said that the earliest release date will be 2016.

Of course, "Avatar 2" will take even more time in this life, because Cameron has already begun directing "The Hunger Games" at Xiao Qi's invitation.

Cameron has already become a god through "Titanic", and now "Avatar" has made him the world's number one commercial director, so the next "Hunger Games" has attracted the attention of countless people.

Not only movie fans are looking forward to it, but also those in the industry, as long as they can get close to it, they hope to rush in and get a piece of the pie.

The most active ones are the investors.

But when they came to visit, they found that Cameron, which had to constantly increase its budget in the past, had no plans to increase its budget at all this time and to attract other companies to join in to share risks.

The reason is simple. This time the investor in "The Hunger Games" is Disney.

Last year, Disney became the private company of Xiao Qi, the world's richest man. With Xiao Qi's support, how could Cameron worry about having no funds available?

It is said that Xiao Qi's initial budget for Cameron was US$500 million. Even Sony Pictures, which has deep pockets, would consider such a huge figure, and only Disney could come up with it without blinking an eye.

And according to Cameron's peeing habits, if he doesn't add an additional budget of two to three billion, then he won't be the king of waste, Cameron.

No matter how confident investors are in Cameron, they will inevitably feel a little wary when faced with a budget of 7 to 8 billion US dollars.

If you say it's "Avatar 2", then everyone has the confidence to invest in it.

But can a movie adapted from a novel that has never been heard of before and has only become popular recently, have such a big success?

Many people also have some doubts in their hearts and dare not draw conclusions easily.

No matter how unsure they are, one is Cameron, the king of commercial movies, and the other is Xiao Qi, the richest man in the world. Both are famous super geniuses, and they rarely make mistakes together!

Investors retreated, and the major brokerage firms were next.

"The Hunger Games" is expected to be a trilogy. This is known to everyone. However, "The Hunger Games" has many characters and requires a large number of main and supporting roles, as well as general supporting roles. This gives the agency room to operate.

Take the first part of "The Hunger Games" as an example. In addition to the heroine Katniss in the first part, the male number one Peeta, the contestants from other districts, mentors, drawees, hosts, etc. are all

There must be at least 20 actors who are famous and have roles, big and small.

Every movie Cameron makes will make many people famous, and it is the kind that brings both fame and fortune.

Therefore, these twenty or so main and supporting characters were snapped up by countless people.

In fact, there are a lot of tricks for Americans to choose the main and supporting roles in movies. There are also certain x-rules, but their basic routines and guidelines are there. Under normal circumstances, they are not too outrageous. Everything is based on the movie itself.

of.

Especially Cameron, he basically doesn't do that, and the casting directors who work with him also understand his thoughts. It's okay to eat a little money, play friendly games with female stars, etc., but the selection

The actors must not be bad, otherwise you will have to wait to be devastated by the tyrant's violent storm on the set.

It was under such circumstances that my eldest cousin Jennifer Lawrence got the leading role of Katniss.

Cameron found more than 20 first- and second-tier female stars, and after five rounds of continuous screening and testing, he finally selected this beautiful blonde.

Regarding the heroine, Cameron did not give Xiao Qi face, but he did not discount the five Chinese actors Xiao Qi had agreed with him.

Three male and female stars from the mainland, one male star from Hong Kong and one female star from Taiwan all successfully joined the crew.

The five of them were able to get such a good opportunity, and naturally they all knew who was responsible for it. Therefore, Qiao Guoer, Li Shaozhi and Ling Shuangshuang had an extra layer of aura, and they became the queens of the entertainment industry.

Not to mention Cameron's new movie this time, just thinking about Disney's movies in the future is enough to make countless stars go crazy to please them.

Not to mention that these male and female celebrities tried their best to please the three boss ladies.

After Cameron received the first $200 million, he started doing what he always did.

That is...

waste!

That's right, he just wasted it again.

The first thing this time wasted was time.

At the beginning, Cameron himself ran into the primeval forests of the northern United States and Canada to find the address of the battlefield in the first episode of The Hunger Games. At the same time, he threw a group of actors to specialized training instructors and trained them like a group of warriors.

Same, you can't even show off that momentum.

After struggling like this for more than three months, when Cameron found the address and came back, he inspected the skills and abilities of the actors. Generally speaking, he felt that they were pretty good, but it was the training results of his eldest cousin that made him very dissatisfied.

.

If you have watched the first plot, you will know that the entire "Hunger Games" is not so much a science fiction action movie. In fact, the first part is just an action movie. Except for the fight in the forest, the hosts

They use tablet screens to control the game outside. In addition to increasing the difficulty, almost everything else can be moved to ancient times.

Moreover, the first movie of Big Cousin didn’t use archery very much, just a few times. The main part was actually the development of the plot.

So my cousin’s archery postures, forms, various exercises, etc. are pretty much all it takes.

When meeting a big-name director, it's just a matter of letting her get used to it slowly, and then she can slowly get into the role after two or three films.

But it happened that she met Cameron who liked to be more serious. This director could even smash the custom-made porcelain that did not fit the background of the era and make a new one. How could he tolerate the first protagonist of this drama being like this?

Unprofessional?

Cameron specially found videos of a group of female shooters competing in the Olympics to watch, and then looked at the training results of his eldest cousin, and felt they were as bad as ****.

So he scolded Jennifer directly and prepared to drive her to South Korea to learn real archery.

In the world, the best women in archery are naturally the Koreans. Their best ones are called "earth marksmen", which is a bit like a martial arts drama.

Cameron asked her to study for another three months. If she didn't learn well, she would be replaced directly.

This frightened the eldest cousin, and she quickly assured Cameron that she would definitely learn well, but she asked if she could go to China to study because she felt that Chinese women's archery was better.

During the 2008 Olympic Games, the Chinese women's team players did create a miracle and suppressed the Korean marksmen. Although there were many factors at home, if they did not have enough strength, how could it be possible?

Beat them?

It happened that the video Cameron watched was this part, so after thinking about it, he agreed.

To say that my eldest cousin can stand out and be called a new generation of female superstars in Hollywood, she really has some abilities.

In addition to her giant body, she also has a smart mind.

As soon as Cameron asked her to go to South Korea to learn archery, she immediately thought of another thing.

That is, in recent months, there has been a rumor in Hollywood that Xiao Qi was originally planning to let his new love, Scarlett Johansson, star in "The Hunger Games", but Cameron insisted on choosing the actor according to his own opinions.

, so I ignored Xiao Qi’s wishes and finally chose Jennifer.

The main reason is not that Cameron and Xiao Qi are fighting against each other, but that Scarlett's height does not fit the setting of the novel. If Scarlett was 10 centimeters taller, then this role would definitely be hers.

But it is said that Xiao Qi was very dissatisfied with this, which made the relationship between him and Cameron rather tense.

For the film industry, a good director is important, and funding is even more important.

Although Cameron is a first-rate director in the film industry, there are still several directors who are not worse than him, such as Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Nolan, and Clark.

Reese Columbus, Gore Verbinski, etc., can all direct "The Hunger Games".

As long as Xiao Qi is willing to spend money to hire one of them, then "The Hunger Games" will not fail.

Especially Xiao Qi, who is only 23 years old this year, has always had smooth sailing. Once he feels unhappy, it would not be surprising even if he pays money to let Cameron go.

Of course, the world's richest man, with assets of more than 700 billion US dollars, can be more willful.

Once Cameron leaves and another director comes in, Jennifer's leading role will not be guaranteed.

For this reason, she had a very strong sense of crisis, and it was also for this reason that she worked hard to train during this period.

Now that Cameron is still not satisfied and wants her to learn more professional archery, the eldest cousin suddenly had an idea and thought that she could go to China to communicate with Xiao Qi so that he could understand her strength and

Determination, this might increase Xiao Qi's good impression and make him look down on himself less.

The eldest cousin has never felt that she is inferior to Scarlett, especially in terms of figure. She has always been very confident about her figure. Since Scarlett can make Xiao Qi like her, she must be able to do the same.
