Rich life from scratch

Chapter 341 Meeting with Director Zhan
Lin Qishan sat down at the other party's house without any notice, and chatted a lot about his thoughts and doubts about reading books in the past, and there was no lack of praise and appreciation.

Da Liu was a little embarrassed to give such a high praise. After seeing that the heat was almost ready, Lin Qishan informed the idea of ​​the adaptation, and it was different from any filmmakers in the past!
Lin Qishan's shooting idea is based on a starting point of creating milestones, which can be realized with the most luxurious lineup and top-notch special effects regardless of cost!

Because he has money, but also because he has money and has no place to burn it.

When profit is no longer the first element, all that remains is the pursuit of excellence in art!
Liu was originally not optimistic about the adaptation of the Three-Body Problem.

He doesn't think he can shoot well now.

But after hearing that, the best lineup, the strongest team, the strongest director, and an unlimited budget... It is definitely an epic treatment for his favorite work!
After this village, I am afraid there will be no such shop!
Therefore, no one can escape the true fragrance law of Jingze Wang, a great modern Internet philosopher in our country: "If I have this opportunity, I will participate!"

Lin Qishan shook hands with Da Liu: "We look forward to the day it is born!"

……

He made a special visit and let the horoscope be drawn.

However, it is still far from the real start, and the overseas part also requires him to do it himself, and if the whole project can be put on the screen, he thinks it will be soon within five years!
So without further ado, he got on the plane and went to the United States.

This time it's a matter of directing, special effects and a foreign cast.

Before coming here, I had already called Kevin Schuyler in advance, and the old boy also swears that he will introduce all the big names in Hollywood to him, and you can choose!
So they met in sunny Los Angeles, eating steak, drinking red wine, and discussing the unprecedented sci-fi adaptation that Lin Qishan was talking about.

After hearing that there is no upper limit on the budget investment, there is technical support from serious scientists, and the cast is rich in ethnicity, it is a true Sino-US co-production drama, Skyler finally has an image in his mind.

"You're a crazy billionaire—but only you can be that crazy!"

"Thank you!"

Lin Qishan accepts this point, looking at the world, there should be no other person as pure as him!

The first thing that other people care about when making a movie is making money, the box office prospects.

He purely wants to take good-looking pictures, and take masterpieces for himself to appreciate, so as to satisfy his wish.

But having said that, when you have money that you can't spend, it's normal to be so willful!
So Skyler also joined his carnival team: "I'll find a way for you. I'll introduce you to the movie tycoon first, and then those outstanding directors, those amazing teams... There are too many things to do!"

"I'm going to stay for a while this time!"

Lin Qishan was also well prepared, the plan should be finalized as soon as possible, after all, it is not known whether the relationship will be smooth in the past year.

In his conception, Cameron is suitable for the second part of the novel, which has battles, pictures and emotions of choice, while Nolan is suitable for the third part, and the performance of the pictures will be more brain-burning.

So Lin Qishan settled down in Los Angeles. In order to facilitate his life and socializing, staying in a hotel could no longer satisfy his need for privacy. He bought a large coastal mansion for 6000 million US dollars, with more than a dozen rooms and a huge yard. And the swimming pool, and even a helipad, surrounded by a [-]-[-]-meter-high tree fence, which allows Hollywood stars to hold parties day and night, even if it’s a topless theme, they don’t have to worry about leaking to the paparazzi.

The garage is also full of luxury cars, such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce. Supercars are used to take girls for a ride, and Rolls-Royce is used to pick up and drop off guests. Sometimes Skyler arranges female stars for him The means of transportation, sent in at night and sent back during the day, marked another goddess for him.

Because when building a film team, he has plenty of time to play with Hollywood hot girls. The co-pilot takes a girl to the mountains to watch the stars and then shakes the car. , Live the days of flopping or flopping together every night, don’t be too happy!
Of course, there was no delay in serious business.

Introduced by Skyler, he met with Director Zhan.

James Cameron, can be said to be a character who cannot be bypassed in many post-80s/90s films, from "Terminator" to "Titanic", and then to the record-setting "Avatar", this imaginative director, Always able to create extremely high attainments in movies.

You said that he specializes in science fiction, but he is also able to shoot romance films like Titanic and a hodgepodge of "True Lies". He is a real master.

It is also in line with the director candidate that Lin Qishan wanted in his mind, and Cameron has also praised the three-body problem in public. He is a loyal reader, so it is easier to talk about cooperation!

Director Zhan has rarely appeared in his works since "Avatar". It is said that he is preparing for the next few sequels, and he also participated in some film screenwriting activities in the middle.

It may also be that when a person stands on a peak that is too high, when his opponent has no one else but himself, this mentality is Dugu seeking defeat!

Talented directors are hard to come by. The trends in the European and American entertainment circles actually have the same pattern as domestic small fresh meat and traffic stars!
If you want to understand, you will find that the Hollywood showbiz also has the strength of the older generation and has both acting skills in all aspects, but the new generation is not as good as the previous generation. The acting skills are embarrassing, the strength is difficult to talk about, and there is no leading role at all.

In particular, the rampage of superhero movies over the years has prevented sci-fi movies from flourishing.In fact, Lin Qishan is already tired of superhero movies.

After the Avengers defeated Thanos, he was not interested in what kind of superhero would destroy the world ten times in the future, and he didn't even have the desire to understand!
In this regard, Director Zhan is highly consistent with his attitude. Cameron has always been displeased with superhero movies, and has bombarded Avengers many times, believing that they have destroyed the diversity of science fiction movies.

So the two of them can be said to have a very good conversation on this topic.

"I quite agree with your attitude towards super-English films, Mr. Cameron!"

Lin Qishan had the attitude of finding someone of the same kind,

"That's why I think it's imperative to show those superhero movies to hell, and let the audience know that this is science fiction, and this is a masterpiece of rich imagination!"

"The global film industry now needs ace works to correct this single aesthetic. I think "Three-Body" is a very good choice!"

As a reader of The Three-Body Problem, Cameron has no lack of praise for it.

He once said that at least six films are needed to complete the filming, which is exactly in line with Lin Qishan's idea. He thinks it takes at least twelve hours to fully reflect its vastness.

The two people have more in common at once, and Cameron no longer thinks this is a friend-style entertainment, he began to think: "Even so, I still think it is a difficult work, not easy to accomplish."

Lin Qishan said: "I have already mobilized all the forces that can promote its birth, including the original author's checks on the plot, including the best actors on the planet I want, and the most powerful resources, such as Mr. Cameron and Your team."

Cameron accepted the praise with a smile, but still did not express his opinion, but asked: "How much do you plan to spend on it?"

"At least $20 billion."

In English, one billion is actually a word "billion". Lin Qishan raised two fingers with confidence, and that persistent and serious attitude made Cameron secretly sigh in his heart: it is really a shame to burn money. ah!
When you have money that you can't spend, you can really do whatever you want in this world!

Back in the day, he spent more than 2.8 million US dollars to shoot Avatar, and he had to give the film company face and not make the cost too high. After all, he was still a bit tied.

But now Lin Qishan's understatement, I can give 20 billion confidence by myself, that's really rich to do whatever they want!

What's more, Lin Qishan said again: "In order to achieve better results, more funds are also negotiable. I can give you quite independent shooting rights to complete this masterpiece."

"What about your request?"

Cameron asked, he was really moved by such a huge investment!Because of the dream of a filmmaker, it must be a good script, good actors, and no budget limit!

It's almost there now.

Lin Qishan said: "In order to conform to the theme of this book, it is based on the thoughts of Chinese people in many aspects. I hope that the main characters must reflect the spirit of the original work. Of course, for the sake of internationalization, other secondary characters can be changed to a certain extent. Modified, but I don't want to be too politically correct, because the work itself is a satire of various doctrines, and without it, it will lose a lot of flavor."
