Chapter 629 Cameron Get out of here

"King-like Dominorful Performance" - Yesterday's 68th Oscar, said that it was the success of the Golden Morning Film Group, rather than the success of the Playboy alone. Although he only won two awards, look at the thanks of the workers in front of the curtain and behind the scenes, and look at last year's All America. The miracle created by the playboy alone in the box office (in 1.6 billion US dollars, the Jinchen Film Group under the leadership of the Playboy occupies 7.999 billion US dollars), and then look at the pursuit of him by the major Hollywood studios, or look at his knowledgeable and popular big and small stars, all of which make him indisputable. He became the king of movies in the whole world last night, or now.

But this is just the beginning. His fury in the music kingdom has also begun. Last year's "GO!" The ability shown in the album, his help to Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and even the rookie Christina Aguilera, coupled with the madness of Grammy, he has occupied the most dazzling position from the beginning.

not to mention the amazing eight albums signed by Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and Jinchen Music Group, Babyface, who has always been alone, is considering setting up her own studio under Jinchen Music Group. Madonna is also saying that after her cooperation with Warner Records, she is likely to Playboy cooperates. Of course, in fact, her next album is already asking Playboy to help her write lyrics and music and act as a producer.

All this indicates that Playboy is copying his success in the film industry in the music industry, which also shows that Playboy is preparing for his king's enthronement ceremony. Maybe three or five years, he is the king of the world's entertainment industry - USA Today

The 68th Academy Awards made Playboy get unanimous praise again. Even Mr. President said in an interview that Playboy's performance deserves everyone's recognition and respect, just as Playboy said that Mr. President is a person he admires and respects very much. Mr. President also said that he is now There is another name among the favorite movie actors, except for Tom Hanks, which is KINGCHAN.

However, all this did not allow the Playboy to win the competition for the hero of Titanic, just as Playboy guessed. Although 20th Century Fox still has a little hesitation about Playboy's performance contract, it is basically on the verge of promise, but James Scameron has never endorsed the Playboy's contract, and he soon found Leonardo Di Caprio, who he liked although he was a little criticized.

April 1, April Fool's Day, the news came true at all. James Cameron categorically refused William Campbell's recommendation for the leading actor, and told him with certainty that he had found a suitable candidate, that is, Leonardo di Caprio.

He also said that since the company wants to save money and spends so much money, it is the best way to use a lot of suitable and low-paid actors. It is said that he had a big quarrel with William Campbell that day and even said harsh words. Unless he died, he would not accept the company's arrangement. As a director, he should have enough decision-making power.

At the beginning, the media did not know that the playboy was involved in the costly film Titanic. After receiving the news, a lot of entertainment records immediately blocked the playboy's apartment in Hollywood.

It was almost nine o'clock in the morning. After the morning, the playboy and the young lady were in a good mood and knew that they had to respond, so they temporarily held a very simple press conference on the lawn in front of the villa.

"KING, I didn't arrange film work in the first half of this year. Is it just for the performance of Titanic? In Hollywood, you have never participated in the movies of other film companies. What made you make such a decision this time?" The entertainment of the Hollywood Chronicle was the first to stand up first.

Playboy smiled charmingly, "I don't have any related ideas or rules such as not participating in other companies' movies. As for Titanic, I appreciate Mr. James Cameron's idea, and I also very grateful to Mr. William Campbell for his sincere invitation to me. I have also written relevant scripts before.

"But some people say that you are not only very expensive, but also have other unacceptable side terms, which makes Mr. James Cameron angry?" San Francisco Chronicle

Playboy shook his head with a smile, "I don't know where your source is. Of course, I can't reveal the details of the contract, but if I'm for money, I think you all know that I don't have to make do with others. I'll just star in my own director's film." He shrugged, very confident and Easy, "As for the terms and conditions, you can ask Mr. William Campbell, or refer to the performance contracts of other actors to see if I'm going too much."

"Some people say that you are too strong, and that you have a very bad relationship with Mr. James Cameron, so you want to force him away, don't you?" USA Today

"April Fool's Day is over. Please don't use such false news to shake me. I have always respected Mr. James Cameron's work. As for forcing him away, he is a director, I am an actor, or an unsigned actor, and Mr. James Cameron is only responsible for the 20th Century Fox, Jin Chen The film group also did not participate in investing in Titanic," Playboy said. "I think all this is enough to show that there is no connection between your statement."

"But why have you never worked with James Cameron? They say it's because you have a bad relationship with him?" Boston Guide

Playboy smiled and joked, "Hollywood is so big, there are so many directors, and there are too many people who have not cooperated with me. Do I have a grudge against them? What's more, James Cameron and I have met twice. There is no conflict of interest between us here. Why do I have a bad relationship with him? Well, can you tell me that we are born to dislike each other? He shrugged his shoulders again, "Do I look like the kind of person who wants to fight with others as soon as we meet?"

"Then what do you think of James Cameron's refusal to let you play? Why did he make such a decision?" Rolling Stone

Playboy still shook his head with a smile, "I'm not Mr. James Cameron himself. You should ask him such a question. As for his opinion, the only thing I want to say is that I respect the director's decision for a movie!"

Playboy's answer was impeccable. Even James Cameron did not deny Playboy when he was interviewed. He was not a fool. He looked calm about the provocation of entertainment reporters. "I will never believe that KINGCHAN said that I was very rude and domineering. He is a real gentleman.

"I have never said that it was because of his strength. His rudeness made me refuse to let him participate. As he said, as a director, I will better consider the work of the whole film and choose a more suitable actor. Maybe next time, I will cooperate with him."

"As for the performance contract, it is a secret, but whether it is remuneration or other additional terms, it is a very reasonable requirement. In terms of his current identity and status, it is reasonable to ask for more."

Leonardo Di Caprio, who is used by the old guys and innocently involved in this disturbance, is also very smart: "I don't mean to maliciously rob this role with KING, but I respect the director's choice. If he thinks I'm suitable, I will be very happy and accept it, because I'm an actor. I won't give up my job because of what everyone says. The good qualities that an actor should have.

There is a lot of public opinion outside, but no one stood up for 20th Century Fox. Even William Campbell said that every time - it is under discussion, and everyone will be informed as soon as there is a result.

Playboy knows that Fox in the 20th century is hard to get off, and the film is about to be shot, but James Cameron clenched his teeth and doesn't let go. Now it costs so much. If you want to change the director, it's James Cameron bit by bit. It may be worse for another person, but, if You don't need a playboy. What's more, Playboy also provides very attractive conditions. At the box office of 800 million US dollars, when you are more and more nervous, you can get the greatest risk guarantee. That kind of ** power is huge and infinite.

In the last ten days, that is, in mid-April, James Cameron was about to shoot. William Campbell found Playboy again, "KING, we would like to ask you to direct this movie while starring. After all, the script was created by you, you..."

Playboy waved his hand and looked at William Campbell with a smile, "Dear William, this movie was made by James Cameron. Although I wrote the script, I am not familiar with the whole crew. There are some things that may have to be re-prepared. In that case, I don't know what will happen. Although it may be better, the risk is also greater," he shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. "I don't think I can accept such a condition for the time being."

He said his concerns, but because of this, it shows that he is very clear about his situation. More importantly, he said that it may become better. Everyone knows that Playboy turns decay into magic. James Cameron is a money-making machine, but Playboy is the opposite. He is a very With the degree of disipherment, you know how to control the overall situation, and you can often get the best results with the least money.

"I believe in your ability and the whole board of directors. I think it's much better for you to master this movie than that bastard." William Campbell is telling the truth, because he is already considering joining Jinchen Film Group.

Playboy still shook his head, "William, I really can't accept it. After all, it's Mr. James Cameron's work. I can't get paid, but I can't do that kind of thing."

The two talked for more than an hour, and William Campbell did not get a positive answer from the playboy. The reason for saying so was that although the playboy refused, he was not too resolute. Most of the time, he talked about concerns.

Three days later, a shocking news came from the headquarters of 20th Century Fox, and the company made a decision - because of the differences in the shooting schedule of Titanic, the company decided to fire James Cameron and let him, the director, get out of here. Then, the company also said that it would sincerely invite K ING took over the director's job and served as the leading actor of the film.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. This time, James Cameron angrily accused the company's absurdity when he left. Of course, there was also some insinuations. "I planned and prepared the whole movie until now. They don't know anything, but now they abandon me for an actor. It's like a joke. I will wait and see what kind of good results they have.

Even many staff members have expressed the relevant meaning, saying that the preliminary preparation of the film has been handled by Mr. James Cameron, and the new director may not be able to adapt at all, and even overturn everything before, making the work more difficult.

First of all, this is a decision made unilaterally by Fox in the 20th century. Before that, they did not get any promises from Playboy. The reason why they made such a decision is that, first, Playboy can provide them with risk protection; second, although William Campbell did not I got the promise of Playboy, but in that more than an hour, Playboy talked to him a lot about Titanic, which made him feel that Playboy was fully qualified as a director, and quickly entered the role, and finally got better results than now. Third, time is naturally tight. It will only be more troublesome to adjust after shooting. The so-called interruption, with James Cameron's personality and current attitude, there must be only one left; the last point is that the previous concerns of Playboys did not have any problems after they fired James Cameron, and they did so. It can show their sincerity. Coupled with the good relationship between 20th Century Fox and William Campbell and Playboy, Playboy basically has no possibility of refusing. You know, even Baker of Paramount has begun to prepare to closely negotiate the American distribution rights of the film with 20th Century Fox. Before thinking about it, Bay Ke bit him to death.

It's not a big deal for the producer to speculate on the director. Even the insurance company can fire the director because of the arrangement of the film. However, this matter is involved with Playboy. In addition, the huge investment in the film, the attention of the outside world has naturally risen to N levels immediately.

Playboy dug the hole and tempted 20th Century Fox to jump in slowly step by step. At this time, it was finally his turn to make a final move.
