Chapter 904 Unsuccessful bodybuilding champion(1/2)
James Cameron didn't fall asleep all night.
Early the next morning, he cleaned up a little, sorted out his personal appearance, and took a taxi to Disney's headquarters.
After reporting his name, he met Tang Shuxuan within a short while.
But it was not in Tang Shuxuan's office, but on the set.
The somewhat thin female president wearing glasses was directing what people were doing, and Cameron could see that it was a tavern scene.
What kind of scene do you seem to be filming?
After looking at him a few times, Tang Shuxuan signaled the secretary next to him to bring a file bag and handed it to Cameron.
"Mr. Cameron, this is the script and information. After you sign it, you can sit there and read it." Tang Shuxuan said, "You cannot take the script away at the moment. You have to wait until you officially join the company and sign a confidentiality agreement before you can officially start working with the script."
"I understand!" Cameron nodded.
To be honest, he was a little moved that Tang Shuxuan could show the script to himself before he joined the job, but this kind of touch was directed at Yin Jun, because only when Yin Jun spoke, Tang Shuxuan would show him.
He subconsciously said something more, "President Tang, the company is so relieved to me? Are you afraid that I will go to invest in filming after I have recorded the script?"
Tang Shuxuan was stunned and then laughed: "This script was written by our chairman two years ago and registered in Hollywood. You can use it for secret photography now, can anyone dare to take this movie?"
Two years ago?
Cameron took the script and sat in the open space next to him with some clarity.
Two years ago, I was still working as a special effects engineer for Industrial Light and Magic!
He smiled self-deprecatingly and opened the file bag.
The first photo that caught my eye... no, the portrait made Cameron tremble all over!
This... this is the robot I imagined!!!
It's really a ghost!
How could it be so coincidental?
If my idea was heard by others on a very special occasion and sold to Yin Jun, there is still a possibility.
But this chase, kill, and my robot is just a little blurred in my mind, and I can't see it clearly myself!
Until today, until now, I have not confirmed that it is it!!
Could it be...
Yin Jun had such a dream a few years ago?
That was a coincidence!
This is in the dark. God asked the two of us who also had this kind of dream to create this movie together!
James Cameron sighed without realizing this.
Then, he drew out a second sketch.
Cameron recognized it at a glance. This is the portrait of the most famous bodybuilding champion in the United States, the Olympics, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
In this sketch, Arnold Schwarzenegger rode a large motorcycle with leather jacket, leather pants, leather gloves and sunglasses, and in one hand he was holding a rifle, instantly showing his coldness and cold blood.
The third sketch is even more amazing.
This is a close-up of Schwarzenegger's face.
Unlike normal humans, half of his face is a portrait, while the eyes on the other side are obvious mechanical and electronic eyes. The bleeding wounds are exposed, but they are not flesh and blood at all, but silver-glowing metal!
Seeing this, even if he didn't see the script, Cameron had completely given up on the idea that his ideas were plagiarized.
Thinking of this kind of thought now is ridiculous.
Even the dreamer himself has not written the script, but Yin Jun has already set this character well. How could this be done in a hurry?
Smiling and shook his head, Cameron looked at Schwarzenegger's sketch again, nodding slightly.
I really found the right person to play this role for this bodybuilder.
Although Schwarzenegger is not famous, as long as he is the most suitable candidate, he can find him.
Putting down the sketch, Cameron took a deep breath, took out the thick script, and began to read.
The set was already busy, and the sound was very noisy, but unexpectedly, Cameron's world was quiet and there was no sound at all.
...
Schwarzenegger, 34 years old this year, has the most perfect muscles and lines in the world.
No one is stronger and more in line with the word perfection than him.
13 years ago, Schwarzenegger, who was only 21 years old, came to the United States from his hometown of Austria.
His career has actually developed very smoothly, including opening classes, shooting bodybuilding videos for sale, etc., which have made great contributions to his reputation in the bodybuilding industry.
But one thing is that the bodybuilding industry is still too small and weak. Even though he has achieved unprecedented best, he has no real reputation.
So, Schwarzenegger chose to be a movie star.
At the beginning, some directors would look for him, and they thought this big man was very strong and suitable for a special role.
But after filming a few more movies, those directors will no longer look for him.
Unless it is a movie shot related to bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger has rarely received film appointments in recent years.
The reason is very simple.
He was so clumsy that he had no expression on his natural face and could not express any emotions at all.
What is the difference between this and the Stone Man?
Who would like to let a stone man play a role in the movie?
Such a situation made Schwarzenegger very sad.
But fortunately, he never thought of giving up, and he was still working hard.
Especially, he has just recently fallen in love with the daughter of the Kenny Di family. If he succeeds, he will definitely get more and better film and television resources.
It was at this time that Schwarzenegger received a call from Lianyi Film Company.
"I'm playing the villain's male lead?...I'm willing!! I'm here now!"
After throwing the phone down, Schwarzenegger drove to the headquarters of Lianyi Film Company.
As he often auditioned at major film companies, he was very familiar with the company headquarters of every film giant.
What is it about playing a villain?
In the words of a director, his face is "born for the sake of villains." In the 11 years since he started filming, more than 80% of the only characters have been villains.
However, even if he is a villain, he is still of a minion. Occasionally, he is a foolish little character who is beaten very badly by the protagonist, which is enough to make him happy for a long time because he can show up for a long time.
Now Lianyi Film Company actually said that he wanted to be the villain's male lead. Although he was the villain, he was also the male lead!
Why is he unhappy?
But after driving halfway through, Schwarzenegger was a little confused.
Hollywood movies shouldn’t be all preliminary interviews, two-step interviews with makeup, and the third step is finally confirmed by the actors?
Especially for this kind of villain number one character, although Lianyi Movie has declined, they are still one of the seven majors in Hollywood. If such a character is taken out, it will definitely be fought over by many people.
Why did you say you were asking me to play this role?
What about those competitors?
Schwarzenegger thought for a long time but still couldn't find out the reason. However, while stopping and waiting at a red light, he accidentally saw a pair of high heels left by his girlfriend in the passenger seat.
He suddenly remembered something, immediately found a place with a telephone booth and stopped, and made a call.
"Hey? Maria! It's me!... Did you find a relationship with me?... No, it was someone from Lianyi Film Company who called me today and said that he wanted me to play the villain male lead... Yes! That's so strange! I thought it was your help... Then do I need to go there?... Oh, okay, I understand!... See you that night!"
After making this call, Schwarzenegger was obviously much calmer.
However, when he was in the office of Morrick, the vice president of Lianyi Film, he saw a brief plot manuscript and two contracts handed to him, and he was a little uneasy.
After signing one of the confidential contracts, he first read the plot manuscript, which was probably a robot killer, who specialized in chasing future humans to resist x-leader x from decades later.
What he did most often during this period was to create violent situations with a cool and expressionless face.
Such a plot is simple and crude. Apart from not knowing how the robot should be expressed, Schwarzenegger feels that this character and plot are as if they are tailor-made for himself.
Isn’t it just to do destruction? This kind of unscrupulous and cold-hearted act of destruction is really a bit excited to think about it.
But Schwarzenegger couldn't be excited either.
Because the contract next to it is not a simple movie contract.
It is a contract to sign ten movies with him within twenty years.
20 years?
10 movies?!
Schwarzenegger thought he had read it wrong at first.
