Li Yilian didn't expect James Cameron to have his eyes on Titanic.
However, this was also very normal. Cameron's vision and structure failed here. He didn't like things that were too bad.
Looking at the dancing James Cameron, Li Yilian coughed lightly and said slowly,""If you want me to invest, I have enough capital, but…"
At this point, Li Yilian paused slightly.""Do you think the technology and conditions are mature now?”
" I think all the problems can be solved during the filming process," Cameron said." If the technical conditions are insufficient, then we should think of a way to break through the technology!”
Li Yilian finally understood why so many people had a headache over James Cameron.
This fellow was completely out of the norm.
Most people would think about shooting a movie if the conditions allowed. What he thought about was to complete a technological breakthrough in the process of shooting a movie.
Most importantly, Cameron was not an ordinary person.
If he wasn't a transmigrator, a normal investor would not have agreed to Cameron's request. However, how much box office did Titanic generate?
When it was released worldwide in 1997, it cost 1.84 billion dollars.
When the 3D version was released in 2012, it directly broke through to 2.1 billion USD.
Then, in 2023, he planned to re-screen it for the third time. He did not know how much money he could earn from this third time.
Li Yilian naturally had no reason to refuse.
Li Yilian pondered for a moment and said,""I can buy the copyright of the novel. Also, if you want to film it, I don't support it now. You have to wait at least two years. After you finish filming Terminator 2, you can film 'Jurassic'. After accumulating your skills, you can film Titanic!”
Cameron was stunned for a moment before nodding."“OK!”
After chatting with Cameron, Li Yilian casually asked Monica Bellucci to stay behind to get used to the role.
At the same time, Li Yilian was also carrying out his next step.
He was mainly here to negotiate with Marvel.
Throughout the 1990s, Marvel was like a younger brother. The superhero movies they produced were basically beaten by the DC-TV. The sales of their comics were not good, and the sales of their toys were not good either. As a result, Marvel began to sell their characters crazily.
Spider-Man, Hulk, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and other superhero copyrights had all been sold by Marvel.
It wasn't until the success of Iron Man in 2008 that Marvel began to lay out the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Now, Li Yilian was not going to be polite at all. He planned to buy more than 70% of the shares of Marvel in one go. At the same time, Li Yilian still had to take out a sum of money to invest in Marvel movies.
Li Yilian's plan was to start with Wolverine's movie, then pull out the X-Men's worldview, and then the Spider-Man trilogy and the Fantastic Four.
With these few steps, ten years would be almost up.
Don't rush to create the Marvel movie universe, first create an independent individual.
When the technology was in place and the time was right, he would consider making the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In addition, Li Yilian also found a guy named Lauren Scheler Downer, who was considered the talent of Marvel Pictures 'president, Kevin Fitch.
Kevin Fitch was still in university and hadn't graduated yet. Even if Li Yilian wanted to put him in an important position, he didn't have much of a chance. He might as well use Lauren Schule Downer first.
In the next ten years, all the movies that Paramount Pictures wanted to shoot were basically profitable.
The Terminator series.
The " Jurassical Park " series
Titanic
The Spider-Man Trilogy
The Wolverine Trilogy
The Fantastic Four series
The X-Men series.
Basically, these were all very profitable projects. Li Yilian also followed his memory to find people, mainly excellent producers.
Hollywood was basically a producer centered system.
The main features of the studio system included the production of genre films, assembly line ratio, large-scale production, star marketing, and first-round theater system.
As the studio emphasized collective wisdom and fine division of labor, the initial complete prototype of the film crew was dissolved in collective cooperation. The key functions such as film creation and management were also decomposed. This system required a unified command and dispatching function. The control of specific films was concentrated in the hands of the producers, forming a producer center system.
The glory of Hollywood was inseparable from the producer system. For Li Yilian, the most important thing was to find a producer.
As long as the politics were correct and Hollywood was not kidnapped, this system was basically the most advanced system.
Subsequently, Benevolence Capital under Li Yilian's name formed Marvel Studios with 100% shares. In addition, Li Yilian held 75% of the shares in Marvel Comics.
Basically, although he had taken the majority of the profits, Li Yilian would not interfere too much. He would build a prototype and then slowly shoot the movie.
Anyway, Li Yilian didn't expect the movie to bring him huge profits. He just wanted to get involved in Hollywood and find a big harem for himself.
