My girlfriend is an idol - Chapter 2156
He rubbed his stiff face at will. Li Xianzhe got up holding the handle of the chair and returned the same way.
Just around the corner, an old man wearing a baseball cap bumped into him head-on, and the drugs in each other’s hands were scattered on the ground.
“Oh, sorry ~ ~”
“Oh, sorry ~ ~”
They spoke almost at the same time, then squatted down and began to pick up things on the ground.
The elderly do not buy many drugs, many of which are for the treatment of insomnia and refreshing things. Li Xianzhe also took these drugs when he had not been diagnosed with brain tumor before. Some drugs even he is still taking now, so he is very familiar with them.
“I hope I didn’t break them.”
Put the last bottle of scattered medicine into the packaging bag. Li Xianzhe looked up. He was just surprised when he saw the face under the old man’s baseball cap. “Steven?”
“Lee? Why are you here?” the old man was obviously stunned when he heard his name shouting from others in the hospital.
After staring at Li Xianzhe for a long time, his eyes gradually brightened up. He was a little happy to meet again, and he was shocked because he saw something incredible.
“Oh, no, why are you so thin? You look bad?”
……
“So you’ve been suffering from insomnia for some time?”
It was still the place where they met just now. Li Xianzhe and the old man sat down against the wall and talked about their recent situation.
“It can’t be said that it’s been a while. It’s not very common in this circle that we often reverse day and night and lack of sleep.
When I went to the hospital before, those doctors told me that if the physiological clock goes wrong, there will be problems sooner or later… ”
Li Xianzhe thought deeply about it. “It’s true, and you often fly around the world.
It was good during the film shooting. When shooting the biographical film Lincoln in 12 years, I heard your assistant say that you spent a week in the editing room where you couldn’t see any sunshine, eating and living in it.
When he came out, he thought he saw a ragged old man living in the stone age. ”
“After all, people are old and their energy is much lower than before.
When I filmed jaws in the 1990s, I stayed in the editing room for three or four days, or for half a month, or buried myself in writing scripts in the basement.
At that time, when I was most tired, I only needed to lie down and sleep for a few hours. After getting up, I became energetic again. ”
The old man held the thick lens and pointed to the messy beard in front of his chin.
“If you say I go out like this, who will recognize me as a film director?”
“No, if you change a cap, wear a coat and hang a camera.
Everyone will think you are a wandering artist, not a world-famous film director. ”
Li Xianzhe pretended to ponder and said, “in the eyes of most people, artists are always slovenly.
Only their eyes are very bright, especially when talking about the art field they are good at. Before that, no matter how humble and unsociable they are in front of strangers, they will change another person at that moment. ”
“Oh ~ ~ if you’re praising me, then… This description is really interesting.”
The old man laughed. “Sure enough, every time I talk to you, the atmosphere is always so relaxed and happy.”
“That’s because the unpleasant conversation atmosphere you experience every time you talk to James.”
worse off than some, better off than many. Li Xianzhe shrugged his shoulders.
“Compared with him, no matter how ordinary my speech is, it will be much more pleasant here than him.”
“That’s true.” the old man nodded with a smile. “When you first saw him, you called him a truck driver.
Coincidentally, I used to call him that. As a result, James was very angry and thought that I told you his most unacceptable nickname, so he quarreled with me several times in private. ”
“Speaking of James, do you know what he has been doing lately?”
James mentioned by the two people is no one else, but James Cameron, the director of the Titanic, the terminator series and avatar, which has set the world film box office record.
But few people know that the world-class director who has always been hot tempered has a very good relationship with Li Xianzhe and the old man in front of him. It’s not too much to say that it’s the iron triangle.
Among the three, Li Xianzhe is the only one who is not a film director and gets rich by writing a script.
Although most of the works born from him are commercial films, Cameron has also been involved in commercial films. At this point, they have a lot of common language.
“He… Of course, is polishing the new script of avatar.”
“Oh?” Li Xianzhe was inspired.
According to his memory, when Avatar was released in 2009, it broke the record of weekend box office in North America and global film box office. It became the first work in the world with the highest production cost, combined with live performance and animation CG, and finally dominated the film box office history for decades.
For the success of avatar, Li Xianzhe is one of the few people who decided that he would succeed before the film was made, and gave Cameron some private financial support to some extent.
This behavior also won each other’s favor and made their friendship more stable.
In the end, the first film was a success, and the film gained $2.7 billion all over the world.
Therefore, it became a natural thing to start shooting a sequel.
However, Li Xianzhe knows that the avatar series belongs to the “dystocia” level.
For the first script alone, Cameron had some ideas as early as ten years before the film was released. Even during the shooting of the film, he would overturn the previously written script and make changes because of some creative scenes.
As for the second and third films, he had ideas in his mind very early, but there was still a long way to go until the script was completed.
“This is a news worthy of attention.”
Li Xianzhe has made up his mind. After his operation is successful, he will contact Cameron to ask about the script of Avatar 2 and the investment of the film.
I don’t know that the memory stored in his mind gave him inexplicable confidence. This film can’t be put on the schedule for shooting at least in the last two or three years. Therefore, it’s inevitable for him to occupy the quota of an investor before other companies.
“Hey, I haven’t seen James for a while. I decided to talk to him about the sequel of avatar.”
No one knows how much money li Xianzhe invested in the first film of avatar, but the fact is that in terms of the global box office dividends, he got enough profits to make many Hollywood film companies jealous and regret that they failed to participate in the investment.
Throughout the box office history of Hollywood films, films that finally get huge returns with low-cost investment, such as Wen Ziren’s “chainsaw thriller” series and Oren Pelly’s debut “ghost record” series.
