The total box office of "Terminator 2" in North America and Hong Kong has exceeded the 2 million US dollar mark, and judging from the feedback, there are still long queues in front of the theaters in the two places. The enthusiasm for 2" has not diminished in the slightest, on the contrary, it has a growing trend as time goes by.Some people in the media have already begun to predict whether "Terminator [-]" will eventually break through the $[-] million mark at the box office.
The box office in North America and Hong Kong is soaring. For movie fans in other countries around the world, it undoubtedly makes them look forward to the release of "Terminator 2".Some movie fans in Europe and Japan even flew to North America or Hong Kong to watch "Terminator 2" in advance, and their admiration after returning home made fans in these countries look forward to the release of the film even more .
In order to welcome the landing of "Terminator 2" in Japanese theaters, Japanese theaters have started the pre-sale of movie tickets in advance under the strong request of the people. In just three days, the movie tickets in major theaters in Japan within a week All sold out.But even so, it still cannot satisfy the enthusiasm of the Japanese for "Terminator 2".In private, those movie fans who are eager to watch "Terminator 2" first have even bid more than ten times the normal movie ticket, but even so, many times there is a price but no market.
Due to the emphasis on the Japanese film market, not only most of the actors will be present at the premiere, but Cameron himself has temporarily put aside the preparations for "Jurassic Park" and flew to Tokyo to participate in this premiere. A premiere.
"James, you're setting me on fire!" Fang Mingyuan said to Cameron helplessly.With the box office of "Terminator 2" rising all the way, and with the media's speculation about the final box office, it has increased again and again, and now it has reached an incredible 2 million US dollars. "Terminator [-]" The value of the crew members has naturally risen. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton have jumped into the ranks of Hollywood's top male and female stars. Child star Edward Furlong has also become a new Hollywood star because of his outstanding performance in the film. child star.The rest of the actors have also improved to varying degrees.And what people pay the most attention to is naturally the mysterious screenwriter and director - "Fang".
"Fang, this is what you deserve, and you Orientals are too modest." Cameron patted Fang Mingyuan's shoulder with a smile on his face and said, "What's yours is yours. If you count it all in my name, I will You will not find peace in your heart. But don’t worry, I have issued a hush-hush order in the crew. If anyone dares to violate the order and reveal your identity, he will never be able to hang out in the movie circle again in his life. , Gore also issued an order in the Halcyon Films Company, no one is allowed to reveal your identity to the outside world. So you can rest assured."
The reason why Cameron did this was firstly that they would not understand Fang Mingyuan's true thoughts; secondly, it was also to avoid damage to his reputation if the news leaked out in the future; thirdly, it was also to please Fang Mingyuan.Let him say this, what else Fang Mingyuan can say at this time, he can only shake his head and sigh.
"Huh? Isn't the beautiful Ms. Yu here?" Cameron noticed at this moment that the person sitting on the seat of Kumho Film Company was not the Yu Qiuxia he had seen.
"Sister Qiuxia has a lot of work to do, so she has no time to come here. She asked me to say hello to you." Fang Mingyuan smiled.Cameron naturally expressed his gratitude.
The topic of the two then naturally turned to "Terminator 2".Not to mention the unexpected situation of the media, even Cameron himself was really taken aback by the soaring box office.In just over a week, the box office in North America and Hong Kong alone has exceeded 2 million U.S. dollars. Such a result was also something he did not expect in advance.As for the executives of Gore and Halcyon Films, they are now holding statistical reports every day, and they are so happy from ear to ear.In the Halcyon film company, many people now believe that it should not be a problem for the global box office of "Terminator [-]" to exceed [-] million U.S. dollars
"Three hundred million dollars? To be honest, it sounds like a dream to me." Cameron said without hesitation, "If this is the case, this year's North American box office champion should be none other than it."
Fang Mingyuan laughed, but didn't say anything.He knew that in his previous life, the global box office of "Terminator 2" reached more than 2 million U.S. dollars, and [-] million U.S. dollars, that must be its end.Moreover, after "Terminator [-]" was released, the media and fans received rave reviews. It was once rated as the best movie sequel in movie history, ending the history that movie sequels are generally not as good as the first episode.Really achieved "fame and fortune".
Even more than ten years later, after the number of box office champions in the world movie rankings changed, the box office ranking of "Terminator" also slipped from No.1 to No.40. There are only four films ranked ahead of "Terminator 2", which are the second and third episodes of "Star Wars" and "Ghostly Love".It can be seen that the success of "Terminator 2"
"James, you're at a loss in this calculation. It's better to get the box office share than the director's fee," Fang Mingyuan teased him.
"Haha, that's true, but before that, who would have thought that "Terminator 2" would be such a big success?" Cameron shrugged.You know, before "Terminator 2" was released, due to its production cost of more than 2 million U.S. dollars, many media believed that "Terminator [-]" might not be able to recover the cost and become a huge financial black hole for Halcyon Films. .At that time, both the Halcyon Film Company and Cameron himself were under tremendous pressure.
If the box office of "Terminator 2" is bad, then whether it is the Halcyon Film Company or Cameron, it will be a serious setback in their careers
"Fang, but speaking of it, I think you have always been very confident," Cameron said, "Why do I think you have never been worried, "Terminator 2" was a bad box office hit, and your $6000 million investment It's like it can't be taken back."
Fang Mingyuan patted Cameron on the back, and said softly: "You are the director, I don't worry." He has nothing to worry about. Although Cameron has always invested more in making movies, he invests a lot and earns a lot. Just as much came back.In his previous life, the masterpieces "Titanic" and "Avatar" that swept the world's box office with billions of dollars were all his works. With such a strong capital as a foundation, Fang Mingyuan had nothing to worry about.
Naturally, Cameron would not understand where Fang Mingyuan's confidence came from. He would only think that it was due to Fang Mingyuan's trust in his abilities.Although Americans don't know what "a scholar dies for the one who knows himself", Cameron is quite excited to be able to gain Fang Mingyuan's unconditional "trust".
"Ah, by the way, James, has Arnold come to Tokyo this time?" Fang Mingyuan suddenly remembered.
"Come? He is the protagonist, how could he not come. Arnold has really stepped into the ranks of top Hollywood movie stars this time." Cameron smiled, "He is also very grateful to you. However, I think what he looks forward to more is your script."
"The script is not a problem. I already have an outline, but do you have time?" Fang Mingyuan asked, "How many actors have you selected for "Jurassic Park?"
"God, have you already thought up his script?" Cameron said depressedly, "Fang, you are a genius screenwriter. I really can't imagine how you could write such a script in such a short time. There are so many scripts. And you can also take care of such a big industry, seeing your achievements, to be honest, I am very jealous."
Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh. In his previous life, he probably never dreamed that one day, the talented director James Cameron would say in person that he was jealous of his talent. "James, well, you are the one who makes me feel jealous. As long as human beings don't die, as long as the film industry doesn't die, your Cameron name will remain in the history of filming forever, and I'm more like a passerby. Professional It's the best, isn't it?"
"Then are you interested in becoming a professional?" Cameron smiled. "At your age, it is no problem to learn from scratch now. I believe that with your funds and your current reputation, you can independently direct one or two films." There are no problems with the movies?" Cameron has long discovered that Fang Mingyuan's scripts have always been very irregular. It is not so much a script as he has recorded the plot in his mind in detail... As long as there is a director who knows how to , with his script and a few good actors, almost all of them can be filmed.Although it may not be comparable to world-renowned directors in terms of details or realm, it is impossible to become a bad film.
Fang Mingyuan waved his hands again and again, making some international jokes, asking himself to be a director, he didn't think he had that talent.Besides, even if there is one, it will be "castrated" by the film censorship bureau in China. What's the point of going abroad to make movies?Judging by his appearance, Cameron did not persist on this topic.
"Fang, do you want to reserve a few seats for you at this year's Oscars ceremony?" Cameron asked with a smile.Although he doesn't think that "Terminator 2" can win the most important statuettes in the Oscars, he believes that "Terminator 2" will not return empty-handed.
"That's great, you must save some for me." Fang Mingyuan's eyes lit up. In his previous life, he watched the Oscars on TV. It's not bad to watch the live version in this life.
"Hey, look, Arnold is here"
