Chapter 933: Super Big Melon
"Forget it," Chen Geng didn't hesitate much, and shook his head: "I'm not married yet, how can I be someone else's godfather?"
"Then I'm trying to figure out how to ......"
Cameron didn't insist either.
Although usually only a married man with a family can be someone else's godfather, in practice there are always various exceptions, such as Fernandez Chen, although he is not married, if he says that he wants to be the godfather of a child, will the child's parents object?
Joke!
The richest man in the world wants to be the godfather of his children, can this pair of parents be happy and crazy?
In Cameron's view, Chen Geng's refusal was simply taken for granted, and anyone was qualified to be the godson of the richest man in the world? In fact, if Chen Geng really agreed, it would really be unexpected - to put it bluntly, Edward Fulong was not qualified for this.
"By the way, speaking of which, are you interested in having Terminator 2 released in the Soviet Union?"
Take "Terminator 2" to the USSR for release?
Cameron's eyes widened suddenly: "Are you kidding?"
Although the United States has not stopped infiltrating and corroding the Soviet Union in the more than 40 years since the end of World War II, to be honest, during this period, the exchanges between the United States and the Soviet Union in the cultural field in an official or semi-official form were really almost non-existent.
After all, even if you want to criticize people and explain to the people how rotten capitalism/socialism is and how unhappy people's lives are, then you have to have some evidence, right?
And for film directors in Europe and the United States, if they can bring their films to the Soviet Union for screening...... Although this difficulty is hellish, it is basically impossible...... That is a great honor, and as long as it does not scandalize the United States and capitalism, it can even get all kinds of overt and covert subsidies and support from the US government: exporting capitalist culture to the Soviet Union, of course, this must be supported.
Chen Geng raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Do you think I'm joking?"
Also, since Mr. Fernández dared to say so, he must have some certainty, but ......
"But how is this possible?" Cameron felt like he was going crazy: "That's the Soviet ......"
"It's up to people," Chen Geng said, "Although I can't guarantee that I will succeed, how can I know if I don't try?"
“......”
Cameron was silent, and for a while, he hesitated and asked Chen Geng, "Boss, are you really not joking?"
"You know, I know some big people in the Soviet Union, including Mr. Gorbachev," Chen Geng said: "The cultural exchanges between the United States and the Soviet Union are not without opportunities, the key is that things are ...... by man."
“......”
Cameron was silent again, Mr. Fernandez had good personal relations with many dignitaries of the United States, and even with the former and current presidents, this Cameron knew about it, and even when he heard about Mr. Gobachev's trip to the United States at the end of 1987, Mr. Fernandez helped coordinate and promote it, if that was the case......
Cameron raised his head and looked at Chen Geng, his expression was extremely serious: "Mr. Fernandez, are you really sure?"
"Try it, you don't lose anything by trying. ”
Chen Geng shrugged, his expression was quite hanging.
"Yes!"
Hearing Chen Geng say this, Cameron smiled: "Okay, just try it." ”
It's like what Mr. Fernández said, try it, and there will be nothing to lose if it can't be dispersed anyway, but if it does, the benefits will be too great, and with the relationship between Mr. Fernández and the Soviet high-level, if there is not a certain certainty, he will say so?
Thinking about it like this, James Cameron suddenly felt a little more grasped.
As soon as he was in a good mood, James Cameron also had the heart to joke with Chen Geng: "Boss, you wait, it is estimated that you will occupy the front page of the media every day again." ”
........................
Cameron is right, with this "gamble of the century", Chen Geng once again made headlines.
Even without waiting for the next day, that night, thanks to the efforts of their own reporters, the FOX television network, the ABC television network, the NBC television network, the CBS television network, and the CW United Television Network almost all gave a large and long report on Chen Geng's bet with the American media.
Almost overnight, countless American viewers knew that James Cameron, the director who filmed "Terminator 1", "Abyss", "Alien 2", and participated in the writing of the script of the "First Blood 2" movie, filmed a movie called "Terminator 2" this time.
This "Terminator 2" is wholly owned by Mr. Fernandez Chen, the world's richest man and the big boss of AMC Automotive and Data Research Company, Mr. Fernandez Chen is full of confidence in this "Terminator 2", and even made a bet with more than 300 reporters, photographers and assistants from more than 100 media outlets on the spot when promoting it, thinking that "Terminator 2" Not only was he the 1991 North American and global box office champion, but he was also the 1191 to 1994 North American and global box office champion, and if he lost, he would lose $1 million to the reporters on the scene, $1 million each......
At the end of these TV stations, radio stations and evening newspapers, they all gloated and said: This means that if "Terminator 2" fails to win the North American and global box office championships from 1991 to 1994, our world's richest man Fernandez Chen will lose at least $320 million, of course, this money is not worth mentioning compared to Mr. Fernandez Chen's huge wealth, and we believe that he will pay on time......
Even the FOX TV station, which has always had a good relationship with Chen Geng, also released the footage recorded at that time.
Now it's good!
The gamble is being discussed throughout the United States, throughout North America, and even across Europe.
Hundreds of millions of people who eat melons shouted happily, this melon is really big and sweet, in addition to feeling that the richest man in the world is worthy of being the richest man in the world, and the wins and losses of a bet with others are at the level of hundreds of millions of dollars, but also the envy of the "lucky people" who were present at the time.
Yes, we admit that director James Cameron is a very good director, with the big IP of "Terminator" as the foundation, and we also believe that the box office performance of "Terminator 2" will not be too bad, maybe "Terminator 2" really has a chance to win this year's North American and global annual box office championships, but it has been the overall champion for 4 consecutive years? So the guys who participated in this gamble definitely won, what a bunch of bastards who were pampered by Lady Luck and all at once made money that they would never have made in their lifetime, alas, if only I had been there at the time......
Chen Geng seized this opportunity to promote "Terminator 2", other directors are naturally not stupid, in the face of such a rare publicity opportunity, whether there is a movie about to be released or has already started filming, in addition to the routine boasting of a bunch of their own movies when interviewed by reporters, although they all congratulated Chen Geng and James Cameron's new work, but they all either implicitly or directly said "to win the North American and global box office championship in the next four years? To be honest, this is too difficult......
It was also at this time that the latest investigation data of the investigation company was compiled into the hands of Chen Geng and James Cameron.
"Is it really that high?"
Looking at the numbers on the investigation report, Cameron's hands trembled a little.
Although he has always been full of confidence in his works, the final survey report on this report of "the number of people who are willing to spend money to watch "Terminator 2" in the cinema: 92.78%" still makes Cameron feel a little dizzy: this means that for every 10,000 people, 9278 people are willing to spend money to go to the cinema to watch their "Terminator 2", before this, no movie has ever been able to get such a high proportion of intentions.
And this sample survey with more than 28,000 valid statistical samples in major cities across the United States is also full of gold.
"It shouldn't be a big problem," Chen Geng also breathed a sigh of relief, he flicked the report lightly, and said with emotion: "You have to understand that we have spent a lot of money for this report." ”
Survey companies won't do the work for you for free.
“...... too!"
Cameron exhaled, and the next moment, his face suddenly flushed: "Fernandez, you say, is our movie ...... Isn't it ......"
"It can definitely create a miracle!" Chen Geng said what Cameron wanted to say but didn't dare to say: "Don't forget, this time I took out more than 300 million to gamble with others." ”
"Hey...... yes......"
Cameron touched his head and smirked: Yes, Mr. Fernandez invested so much blood, and even personally went into battle to promote "Terminator 2", if there is no good enough market performance, isn't it a big loss?
"James, that's all I can do," Chen Geng patted the smirking Cameron and said, "The movie is about to be released, and the next publicity will be handed over to you, don't drop the chain at this time." ”
"Don't worry!"
As soon as he talked about this, Cameron's expression finally became serious: since Mr. Fernandez has set up the stage for himself, he must definitely contribute a wonderful performance to the world.
