Chapter 1,213 So Awesome!
Chapter 1,213 It’s so awesome!
Lin Fengchong winked at James Cameron and Spielberg. The reason why he announced that his contract with the two of them was a lifetime contract without saying hello was because he wanted to make a living and keep these two Hollywood gold medal directors under his banner forever.
Hollywood movies are good-looking, but they also depend on who makes them. When I recruit all the outstanding directors under my banner, then the films they shoot will naturally become entries for my "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival". By then, I won't even have a single outstanding entry for the "Academy Awards", and I will The "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival" can naturally replace it, which naturally makes Lin Feng very angry.
As for the living expenses of several million dollars per year, it is by no means too much for "Second Entertainment". As long as these two directors make one movie, they can earn back ten years of living expenses for "Second Entertainment". Lin Feng did not believe that the two directors would only make one film in their long lives. What's more, Lin Feng didn't believe that they wouldn't be tempted by the scripts of so many excellent future movies in his hands. You must know that an excellent script has an absolutely fatal attraction for an excellent director, just like a sword to a hero or a pink powder to a beauty.
With so many excellent scripts in hand, Lin Feng believes that James Cameron and Spielberg will continue to film for him until they can no longer film. At that time, the money they earned for themselves would have been enough to support them for hundreds of years. Lin Feng didn't believe that they could live for hundreds of years and live in poverty!
As for losing money? Even with the best director, the best script, the most advanced technology, and the most abundant funds, the film would still lose money, so Lin Feng would just crash to death.
Finally, the surroundings became quiet. The news that Lin Feng signed contracts with James Cameron and Spielberg is really shocking. Many reporters were frightened and finally came to their senses. Unfortunately, many reporters did not know that this was the beginning of today's "frightening journey".
After many reporters regained their composure, Lin Feng continued to announce.
"After I signed a contract with Mr. James Cameron, the first movie we collaborated on was "Avatar," a script that James Cameron had carefully prepared for ten years." Lin Feng boasted loudly.
James Cameron listened on the sidelines and almost spit out a mouthful of wine. Ten years of careful preparation? You must know that he finished filming "Titanic" in 1997. Even if James Cameron did not take a break and started working on "Titanic" after filming, it would only be 7 years. Lin Feng actually claimed 10 years, which made James .Cameron is really speechless!
But what made James Cameron even more speechless was the exclamations from many reporters in the audience.
"A great director is a great director, and he actually prepared a masterpiece for 10 years.
Admire, admire! "
"Yes, it was 1997 when "Titanic" was filmed. It's only 2004 now. Director Cameron started preparations in 1994. While preparing for "Avatar", he also made a global hit 18 The billion-dollar "Titanic" is truly a gold medal director!"
"Yes, yes, it is indeed the pride of our United States!"
...
James Cameron almost found a hole in the ground to burrow into. This is so shameful! You must know that these reporters don't know, but Spielberg next to him knows the actual fact. Thinking of this, James Cameron secretly glanced at Spielberg on the side, but Spielberg just turned his face towards him.
"James, you are now the well-deserved number one gold medal director in Hollywood!" Spielberg said with a smirk on his face.
Although there has never been a ranking among several major Hollywood directors, they are basically on par with each other. But there are still some signs of differences between them, but outsiders can't see it. Nowadays, many reporters are boasting like this. If George Lucas and others take this seriously without knowing it, I am afraid that in their minds, James Cameron will really be the number one director in Hollywood. After all, the success of "Titanic" lies there, and "Titanic" is just a movie that James Cameron took the time to make. If this spread, I don't know how many directors would die of shame and anger.
James Cameron was really ashamed and speechless at this moment. Although Lin Feng was doing this for publicity, it was a bit too much, but for the future prospects of "Avatar", he could not refute it. What's more, he can't refute himself and say that he didn't prepare for so long! Saying this will not only offend Lin Feng, but also make many reporters despise him and think that he is bragging. But let’s not explain. Spielberg on the side is constantly teasing himself, which really embarrasses James Cameron.
Fortunately, Lin Feng came to the rescue at this time.
"Everyone, this "Avatar" is expected to require an investment of US$500 million and will be the first Hollywood 3D science fiction blockbuster! It is expected to take two years to shoot and will be released in 2006!" Lin Feng announced.
Wow! ——All reporters were shocked again! They are "fertilized".
The investment in "Avatar" is actually as high as 500 million US dollars. This... this is too exaggerated! US$500 million is a fantastic concept. This amount of money is enough to film two Hollywood blockbusters, "Titanic" and "Spider-Man 2" at the same time. But now, Lin Feng actually used enough money to shoot two blockbusters to shoot one movie. This is really amazing. Especially, it actually took three years to film.
"Mr. Lin, why did "Avatar" take two years to shoot? What was the reason? And the two-year shooting was the reason why it cost US$500 million?" A reporter was shocked by the shooting time and funding. ask.
Lin Feng smiled.
"It would be better to ask Mr. James Cameron to explain this issue!" Lin Feng pointed at James Cameron, who was in a daze beside him.
The reporter asked the question again. However, James Cameron looked a little dazed and did not answer.
"James, I have a question for you." Spielberg gave James Cameron a kind push.
James Cameron was stunned for a moment, looking at the expectant reporters in the audience. He suddenly thought of Lin Feng's boasted ten-year preparation plan for "Avatar" and felt ashamed.
"Don't ask me, I'm just here to help!" James Cameron often heard Lin Feng say something to avoid questions, and he subconsciously said it at this moment.
Phew! Lin Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed. This James Cameron is really capable. He actually said a silly sentence, and he did it in front of many reporters. This is really funny!
There was laughter all around, Spielberg, Lin Feng, Avril Lavigne and others all laughed. Only the many reporters at the scene were confused and looked at Lin Feng and others, who were laughing loudly, and James Cameron, whose face was red, in a daze.
Fortunately, James Cameron also came to his senses at this moment. He knew that he had said the wrong thing and coughed loudly several times, attracting the attention of many reporters.
"Everyone, the reason why this "Avatar" will take three years to shoot is because I want to make a perfect movie. This "Avatar" is a future science fiction movie..." James Cameron said When watching the movie, his whole person was suddenly different, his expression was full of energy, and his words were full of appeal. All reporters' attention was attracted to the world of "Avatar".
After ten minutes of eloquent introduction, many reporters were still left wanting. Such a beautiful Pandora planet was so attractive that many reporters could not help but want to see the movie "Avatar" right now to get a glimpse of Pandora. style. Unfortunately, this will take 2 years!
Thinking of this, many reporters sighed.
Lin Feng and James Cameron looked at each other and smiled. These reporters are so eager for "Avatar". You can imagine how popular "Avatar" will be in the future when it comes out.
A few minutes later, many reporters came back to their senses from the world of "Avatar", shouting in their hearts - worth it. Being able to get such two pieces of news today is already worth it for the many reporters who braved the heavy rain to come.
However, many reporters obviously underestimated Lin Feng's "lethal power". With just these two pieces of information, Lin Feng would not let these reporters go.
"Everyone, I have another announcement to make here. That is, I will hold the first 'Lin Feng Film and Art Festival' next year. As for the award venue, everyone should know that it is the 'Kodak Theater' Opposite me! I hope everyone can support me a lot when the time comes!" Lin Feng laughed and said.
Rumble~~Rumble~~~, all the reporters’ internal organs seemed to be struck by lightning and burned. They really couldn't stand Lin Feng's stimulation. It was too exciting. Lin Feng's signing of contracts with James Cameron and Spielberg was already shocking, and the subsequent US$500 million investment in "Avatar" once again shocked many reporters. But compared with this last piece of news, the first two are just clouds, absolutely clouds.
Lin Feng actually wants to establish a "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival", and its address is opposite the "Kodak Theater". You must know that the Kodak Theater is the official venue for the "Oscar Awards", and Lin Feng chose it opposite it. The intention is self-evident. In particular, Lin Feng chose to name a film festival after himself, which was a clear attempt to embarrass the Academy Awards.
"Mr. Lin, when will your 'Lin Feng Film and Art Festival' be held?" A reporter thought of a possibility, but felt it was unlikely because it would be too exaggerated. Hence the knee-jerk question.
As it turns out, the answer is really shocking!
"As for the time when my 'Lin Feng Film and Art Festival' will be held, I really don't know the approximate time, but I know the specific time." Lin Feng smiled strangely.
Many reporters were immediately confused when they heard this. What does it mean to not know the approximate time, but to know the specific time? Isn’t this contradictory!
What do you mean by that? ——Many reporters looked at Lin Feng with depressed expressions. This is the first time they have become reporters and want to know the answer to a question so much.
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
"The specific time of my 'Lin Feng Film and Art Festival' is the day of the 'Academy Awards' award ceremony. In other words, the day when the 'Oscar Awards' will be presented, my 'Lin Feng Film and Art Festival' "The awards will be given on that day! Two major film and art festivals will open at the same time in one day. Do you think it will be exciting?" Lin Feng looked at the many reporters in the audience and asked loudly.
Many reporters were speechless when they heard this.
This is so awesome! ——Many reporters couldn’t help shouting. If this is not enough, then there will be no good news.
You know, although there are so many film festivals and film award ceremonies around the world, if you count them carefully, you can find that there are dozens of film festivals around the world, and the film festivals are extremely lively every year. The main creative staff of many movies often fly from one place to another just to catch up on the set. But even if there are so many film festivals in different continents and countries, none of them will hold an awards ceremony at the same time on one day. Because that will lead to competition and confrontation between the two sides, which is what most organizing committees do not want to see. However, Lam Feng is actually going to compete with the "Oscar Awards", which will be held on the same day and in the same place.
It would be great if next year the "Academy Awards" and the "Lin Feng Film Festival" were held in Los Angeles at the same time, it would be so exciting! But what will happen then? Is it a lively event or a farce? ——Many reporters don’t know, and they can’t imagine such a profound issue. For them, it is really awesome that Lin Feng will hold the "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival" on this day and in this place!
At this time, James Cameron and Spielberg next to Lin Feng looked at each other and sighed slightly. As of now, there is no room for recovery from this matter. From this moment on, Lin Feng and the "Academy Awards" organizing committee completely fell out, which also meant that the two of them would become the sharpest "weapons" in Lin Feng's hands. However, for the two of them, there was no displeasure in being used by Lin Feng to deal with those on the "Oscar Awards" organizing committee.
After all, the bias of the "Oscar Awards" over the years is obvious to all, and this also has certain opinions for the two directors who often win awards. What they want is a fair and just film festival, not a "tool" used by some people. Lin Feng's hosting of the "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival" can be regarded as a way to vent his anger on those small films. What's more, Lam Feng didn't use any conspiracy methods, but openly used film-on-film methods to directly defeat the "Oscar Awards".
Let's see what the scene will be like when the "Academy Awards" and "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival" award ceremonies open next year!
Does the east wind prevail over the west wind, or does the west wind overpower the east wind?
