China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 68 67. This Chinese youth can steal dreams?

James has been conceiving the script of "Avatar" since the 90s.

He originally planned to start shooting "Avatar" after finishing "Titanic", but felt that the technology at that time was not enough to express the scenes he wanted to show, so he suppressed the script.

Now as long as the technology is mature, he plans to start this project within one or two years.

But now how can a Chinese person also have this script?
"what happened?"

The colleague on the side, seeing James' dull look, asked hurriedly.

"I'll come when I go."

James reacted, and hurriedly said to the front desk in a voice that was almost shouting: "We must keep this person!"

Then a gust of wind rushed out of the studio.

In the reception hall of the digital domain, the blond woman also wondered what this avatar was when she heard James' eager voice.
With the instructions from the boss, he dared not let these people go, hung up the phone, and said to the smiling Cao Yu: "Sirs, sit here."

"?"

Lu Huateng was very surprised for a while, this is it?Can I see you?What is the magical power of the script that was produced on your plane?
After sitting for more than a minute, a man hurriedly ran down the stairs and said to the woman at the front desk: "Who just said that there is a script for Avatar?"

"Director James, hello."

Seeing this man he had seen on TV, Cao Yu immediately stood up and greeted him in pure Chinese.

"you are?"

James was taken aback when he saw a young man in his early twenties in front of him.

Could it be that this Chinese youth wrote the script of "Avatar" just now?
At such a young age, he has the same advanced imagination as me?This is completely impossible!

"My name is Cao, Director James. Nice to meet you. I have a good script here and I want to cooperate with you."

As Cao Yu said, he took out the script of Avatar from his bag, and handed it over, feeling bad in his heart.

"What an Avatar!"

James took the script in disbelief, and began to scan the English synopsis.

But the more you look at his face, the more wrong it becomes.

Especially when he saw the picture of Avatar, James already felt like he was going crazy.

When he created Avatar, he was inspired by a novel he had read. As for the image of Avatar, he was inspired by a dream his mother had long ago.

But this image, he has never told anyone about it, how does this young man know that it is exactly the same as what he thought?
Could it be that this Chinese youth can steal dreams?

And this plot?Almost exactly the same as what I thought?
He couldn't believe it.

After watching the plot, he felt that his world was about to collapse.

Say someone plagiarized?
There is no basis at all, and my script has never been exposed, so how can the other party plagiarize?

There are no more than three people around me who know about the Avatar plan, and they are all reliable. This Chinese person has no possibility of knowing the plot at all.

Could it be that this young man is God's darling with foresight?

Or is it a genius who has the same idea as himself to write this story, and the coincidence of plots is just a coincidence?
Just when James doubted his life, Cao Yu's words made James almost jump up.

"For this script, our company originally planned to cooperate with Xiangjiang's film and television company, but unfortunately their technology can't meet the requirements, so I thought of you."

Cao Yu's face is enough, facing the original creator, he doesn't blush or heartbeat.

Although I admire the movie genius in front of me, he can cut the leeks of the American people.

"WHAT!"

James is completely crazy, such a good plot, such a good idea, you want to shoot it yourself?What should I do if I take out the garbage?Doesn't that ruin the script?

And if you shoot it, I will shoot it again at that time, and I still have to buy the copyright from you?Otherwise, I will change the plot and name?
So wouldn't my hard work of these years be wasted?
"NO, NO, it can't be like this! Absolutely don't let him ruin this script!"

After a while, I raised my head with difficulty, and asked, "It's a good idea for you to ask me to cooperate with you for this script! Others will definitely not be able to present the magnificent world in the script."

"I believe this, Mr. James, I like the movies you made before, so I think this script will not be wasted if I give it to you."

Cao Yu's words completely touched James' heart. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, you are too discerning."

"The main reason is that I admire your seriousness in making movies. Your pursuit of perfection is worth learning from."

Cao Yu's words are not flattering. A film shot for three or four years, isn't it worth learning from those directors who only shoot garbage and make quick money during the Chinese New Year?

"really?"

James suddenly felt a sense of confidant, and felt that this young man could come up with the idea of ​​Avatar and find himself, maybe it was God's arrangement.

Thinking of this, he tentatively asked, "How do you plan to cooperate?"

"WHAT?! He can really cooperate with a director like James?"

Lu Huateng, who had been on the sidelines, finally understood, his eyes widened.

Brother Cao's affection is to improve the reputation of his company.

Cooperating with the top-grossing director in Hollywood, this title, not to mention in China, can be boasted by the whole world for several years.

Brother Cao, you are going to be awesome.

Your hand is high, really high!

Cao Yu was also a little excited, and then said: "I know that you are a very good special effects company, and I also believe in Mr. James' talent in movies. Therefore, I plan to let you shoot this script, and we will also invest a part of it. , it’s just divided into aspects, and the value of the script needs to be taken into account.”

When Cao Yu came, he had already thought out his speech, so he didn't have to think at all.

"According to my plan, this movie needs an investment of about 1000 million to [-] million US dollars, and the filming time is at least three years. How much can you, a Chinese company, invest? [-] million?"

When it comes to investment, the sense of superiority of the Americans made James doubt the strength of Huaxia Company.

It's not aimed at you, it's your Huaxia Film and Television Company, who dare not take risks at all, let alone invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Seeing Cao Yu lowered his head and hesitated, he thought that his quotation would frighten the Huaxia man, and immediately said: "You might as well sell this script to me, and I will give you a reasonable price."

Regardless of whether it was a coincidence or what, he planned to spend some money to buy the script and forget it.

Cao Yu was upset by James' sudden change of tone. He suddenly raised his head and said, "You can't sell it. I plan to invest [-] million dollars! Dollars!"

It turns out that he planned to invest tens of millions, and since you have the meaning of looking down on the Huaxia people in your tone, then I will let you see our strength!

"WHAT?!"

James looked surprised. This young man in Xia actually asked for [-] million?I'm not crazy yet, did you go crazy first?
"Brother, one hundred million? How can you have so much money?"

Lu Huateng also tugged on Cao Yu's clothes, you came to the United States this time, are you throwing money away?
After winning the agency right of "World of Warcraft", more than 1000 million dollars went out, and now, it is going to be paid [-] million?

I don't have so much money!

The old deer had the urge to go back.

"Yes, it's [-] million!" Cao Yu nodded solemnly.

He has calculated, 35 million, plus the value of the script, this movie, he wants to get 28% of the investment share, if the box office is 12 billion dollars in the future, the profit should be around [-] billion after disregarding the cost of distribution and theaters , then I should be able to earn nearly [-] million.

This is a beautiful knife.

With a profit of more than 200%, everything is worth the risk.
