James Cameron didn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, he cleaned up a little, sorted out his personal appearance, and took a taxi to Disney's headquarters.

After reporting his name, he met Tang Shuxuan after a while.

But not in Tang Shuxuan's office, but on the set.

The somewhat skinny, bespectacled female president was directing what people were doing, and Cameron could tell that it was a tavern scene.

What kind of scene does it seem to be filming?

After glancing at him a few times, Tang Shuxuan motioned to the secretary next to him to bring over a file bag and handed it to Cameron.

"Mr. Cameron, here's the script and the materials, and after you sign it, you can sit there and read it. Tang Shuxuan said, "You can't take the script away at present, you have to wait until you officially join the company and sign a confidentiality agreement before you can officially start working with the script." ”

"I understand!" Cameron nodded.

To be honest, he was a little moved that Tang Shuxuan was able to show the script to himself before he joined the company, but this kind of emotion was aimed at Yin Jun, because only when Yin Jun spoke, Tang Shuxuan would show it to him.

He subconsciously said one more sentence, "President Tang, the company is so relieved of me? Aren't you afraid that after I write down the script, I will go to find investment and shoot it myself?"

Tang Shuxuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This script was written by our chairman two years ago and registered here in Hollywood. If you take it to shoot secretly now, will anyone else dare to take this film?"

Two years ago?

Cameron took the script and sat down in the open space next to him with some understanding.

Two years ago, I was still working as a special effects artist for Industrial Light & Magic!

He laughed self-deprecatingly and opened the file bag.

The first photo that catches the eye...... No, the portrait made Cameron shake and tremble!

This...... This is what I imagined to be a robot!!

What a hell!

How could it be so coincidental?

If my idea was heard by others on a very special occasion and sold to Yin Jun, then it is still a little possible.

But this chase, kill, and my robot is just a little blurry in my mind, and I can't see it clearly!

Until today, until now, I am not sure that it is what it is!!

Could it be ......

Yin Jun also had such a dream a few years ago?

What a coincidence!

This is in the dark, God has let the two of us who also have this kind of dream create this movie together!

James Cameron exclaimed.

Then, he pulled out a second sketch.

Cameron immediately recognized that this was a portrait of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the most famous bodybuilding champion in the United States, Mr. Olympiad.

In this sketch, Arnold Schwarzenegger rides on a large motorcycle, with leather jacket, leather pants, leather gloves and sunglasses, and a rifle in one hand, showing his ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness in an instant.

The third sketch is even more amazing.

Here's a close-up of Schwarzenegger's face.

Unlike normal humans, half of his face is a human figure, but the eyes on the other side of his face are obvious mechanical and electronic eyes, and the bleeding wound is revealed, but it is not flesh and blood at all, but silver glowing metal!

Seeing this, even if he didn't see the script, Cameron had completely given up on the idea that his idea was plagiarized.

Such an idea, now that I think about it, is simply ridiculous.

Even himself, a dreamer, didn't write a script himself, and Yin Jun had already set this character well, how could this be done in a hurry?

Smiling and shaking his head, Cameron looked at Schwarzenegger's sketch again and nodded slightly.

This role, given to this bodybuilder, is really the right person.

Although Schwarzenegger is not famous, as long as he is the most suitable person, then he can be found.

Putting down the sketch, Cameron took a deep breath, took out the thick script, and began to read.

The set was already busy at this time, and the sound was very noisy, but surprisingly, Cameron's world was quiet, and there was no sound at all.

……

Schwarzenegger, 34 years old this year, has the most perfect muscles and lines in the world.

No one is stronger and more in line with the word perfect.

Thirteen years ago, Schwarzenegger, who was only 21 years old, came to the United States from his native Austria.

In fact, his career is still developing very smoothly, starting classes, shooting bodybuilding videos for sale, etc., all of which have contributed greatly to his reputation in the bodybuilding industry.

But there is one thing, the bodybuilding industry is still too small and weak, and even if he does the best he has ever done, he has no real fame.

So, Schwarzenegger chose to become a movie star.

At first, some directors would look for him, thinking that this big man was very strong and suitable for a special role.

But after filming a few more scenes, those directors will not look for him anymore.

Unless it's a bodybuilding-related movie shot, Schwarzenegger has rarely been able to get film appointments in recent years.

The reason is simple.

He was so clumsy that he was born with no expression on his face, and he couldn't express any emotions at all.

What's the difference between this and a stone man?

Who wants a stone man to play a role in a movie?

Such a situation made Schwarzenegger very sad.

But fortunately, he never thought of giving up, and he continued to work hard.

In particular, he has just recently fallen in love with the daughter of the Ken Nie Dee family, and if he succeeds, he will definitely be able to get more and better film and television resources.

It was at this time that Schwarzenegger received a call from Lianyi Films.

"I play the villain male number one?...... Yes!Yes!!I'm coming!!"

Throwing down the phone, Schwarzenegger drove to the headquarters of United Arts Films.

As a frequent audition for major film companies, he is very familiar with the corporate headquarters of every film giant.

What is it to play a villain?

His face, in the words of a director, "was born to exist for villains", and in the 11 years since he was in the film, more than 80% of the only roles he has have are villains.

However, even if he is a villain, he also belongs to the level of a little minion, and occasionally being a stupid little character who is beaten badly by the protagonist is enough to make him happy for a long time - because he can appear for a long time.

Now Lianyi Film Company actually said that it wants him to be the villain male number one, although he is a villain, but he is also the male number one!

Why is he upset?

But halfway through the drive, Schwarzenegger was a little confused.

Shouldn't Hollywood movies all be preliminary interviews, two-step interviews with makeup, and third-step finalization of actors?

Especially the role of villain No. 1, although the United Arts movie has declined, they are still one of the seven in Hollywood after all, and such a role will definitely be fought for by many people.

Why did you say that you were looking for yourself to play this role as soon as you opened your mouth?

What about those competitors?

Schwarzenegger thought about it for a long time, but still didn't find out the reason, but when he stopped and waited at a red light, he inadvertently saw a pair of high heels left by his girlfriend in the passenger seat.

He suddenly remembered something, immediately found a place with a phone booth, stopped, and made a call.

"Hey, Maria......! Did you find me a relationship?...... No, it was someone from Lianyi Film Company who called today, and at the beginning said that they were looking for me to play the villain male lead...... yes! That's that weird! I thought you were doing me a favor...... Do I need to go over then?...... Oh okay, I see...... See you that night!"

Schwarzenegger was visibly calmer after making the call.

However, when he saw a brief plot script handed to him and two contracts in the office of Morrick, the vice president of United Arts Films, he was a little uneasy.

Signing one of the non-disclosure contracts, he first read the plot text, which was about the story of a robot killer who specialized in hunting down future humans to resist X-Leader X from decades later.

During this period, he most often did to play cool and create violent situations with a blank face.

This kind of plot is simple and crude, except that he doesn't know how to express the form of a robot, Schwarzenegger feels that this character and plot seem to be tailor-made for himself.

Isn't it just sabotage, this kind of unscrupulous ruthless sabotage, it's really exciting to think about it.

But Schwarzenegger couldn't get excited either.

Because the contract next to it is not a simple film contract.

It's a contract to sign him with ten films in 20 years.

20 years?

10 movies?!

At first, Schwarzenegger thought he was wrong.

I am 34 years old, and in 20 years, I will be 54 years old!

can be described as the 20-year prime time of their film career, and they actually want to find themselves to make 10 movies?

Take a closer look at the conditions, good guy, this piece is really not low!

In the first part of "The Terminator", his salary is 1 million US dollars.

For the next 9 films, I can choose two salary methods, the first is 50 million to package all the film contracts, and the second is a basic salary of 2 million US dollars each, plus 2% of the box office share in North America.

The pay is not low in either way.

At worst, he can get more than $30 million, and if he's lucky, I'm afraid $60 million or $80 million is possible.

Think about it, before today, he was still a little actor running around for tens of thousands of dollars.

But today, there are Hollywood giants who have shown great interest in him, giving him a movie of $1 million, and the rest of the movies in 20 years with a salary of no less than $30 million.

In other words, now that he signs this contract, he will become a multimillionaire tomorrow!

At least $30 million!

What a big temptation for Schwarzenegger, who has worked hard for more than ten years but only saved more than $3 million!?

With this money, he can live a more comfortable life, and he can go around lecturing and running around without being so tired.

After 20 years of filming, he lived in a big villa and lived a leisurely life.

However, will he really only be worth 30 million, or even 50 million US dollars, in the future?

In case he becomes prosperous, won't these contracts become the shackles of his future constraints?

Don't blame Schwarzenegger for thinking so much, in fact, this is what every normal person thinks, even if Schwarzenegger is worthless now.

What's more, Schwarzenegger is also a person with a lot of dreams and a lot of action.

Otherwise, he would not have crossed the ocean to the United States, which had no foundation, and worked hard for 14 years without giving up.

He loves money very much, but he definitely has no idea of selling his future destiny for money.

20 years is the last period of my career!
