Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

Chapter 169: Promo director

The familiar London Heathrow International Airport is still the familiar group of people. The difference is that He Chaoqiong did not follow Li Zhiwen, but flew directly to Hong Kong due to unaccustomed water and soil. Of course, the staff who took care of it should be the same. A lot.

   And Li Zhiwen and others are going to fly to Los Angeles. First, the Lakers have entered the finals, and Li Zhiwen promised the players to cheer on the scene during the finals.

   It just so happened that the British affairs had already been done, and Li Zhiwen in Hong Kong had remotely controlled Zhao Hezhuo to speed up the purchase of the shares in the Wharf and the Hong Kong Electric Group. Li Zhiwen did not have to worry about it.

   Secondly, Bill Sharman contacted Li Zhiwen. The director of the Lakers promotional video has been found. Jack Nicholson had no time to direct the filming due to schedule problems, so he recommended a newcomer named James Cameron to direct the film.

Originally, Bill Sharman was very angry. Even if Jack Nicholson has no time to guide, he can’t just find a newcomer to shoot. Jack Nicholson has repeatedly emphasized that James Cameron is a young man with a lot of ideas. He will become a young man in the future. A great director, more than enough to direct a promo for the Lakers, repeatedly asked Bill Sharman to call Li Zhiwen for advice.

  Bill Sharman had no choice but to hang up the phone with Li Zhiwen. When Li Zhiwen heard the name of James Cameron, he immediately agreed, making Bill Sharman very puzzled.

Li Zhiwen said in his heart, that was James Cameron, a person called "Card God" in later generations, how could he not be able to make a propaganda film? Now James Cameron has just entered the business, otherwise he will wait for James Cameron to become famous in the future. , It’s not so easy to ask him to shoot this kind of promotional film.

Of course, Li Zhiwen went to Los Angeles this time not in first class, but directly chartered a plane with the airline. Because of Li Zhiwen’s contribution during the hijacking time, the airline quickly arranged a plane for Li Zhiwen, and The low charter fees are pitiful, which shows the sincerity of the airlines.

  At night, the plane slowly landed at Los Angeles International Airport. This time, Li Zhiwen did not go to the Hilton Hotel, but took the bus directly back to his luxury villa in Beverly Hills. Isn't it fragrant to live in a luxury villa? What hotel to stay in.

The next day, because the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics have not yet divided the Eastern Conference finals, and the Lakers won the Western Conference early, the Lakers can have a slightly longer rest time than the Eastern Conference champions, so at this time The finals from 1979 to 1980 did not start.

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}   Li Zhiwen came to the headquarters of the Lakers. As soon as he arrived at the office, General Manager Bill Shaman pushed the door and walked in.

   Li Zhiwen said with a smile: "Bill is here, do it, I will make you a cup of coffee."

  Bill Sharman couldn’t either. He sat down on the sofa and said, "Thank you, boss."

   "How is the morale of the team? Do I need to do anything?" Li Zhiwen asked while making coffee.

"The morale of the team is booming, and the boys are screaming to bring the championship flag and the Walter A Brown Cup back to Los Angeles." Bill Sharman took a breath and continued: "As for what needs to be done, as long as the boss shows up It’s enough on the court."

   "Hahaha, yes, tell the boys, as long as they win the championship, I will hold a grand celebration party for them, champagne, beauties, everything."

   "Okay, boss, I will inspire them." Bill Shaman said.

   "Well, Bill, nothing else, you call James Cameron, and I will discuss with him about the shooting of the promo." Li Zhiwen said.

   "Okay, boss, he's waiting in the meeting room now, I'll let him in right away." Bill Shaman walked out the door after speaking.

   "咚咚咚......" There was a knock on the door.

   "Please come in!" Li Zhiwen said, and then raised his head and looked at the door, wanting to confirm the identity of James Cameron.

   I saw a young man in a cheap suit and tie walking in.

   Li Zhiwen took a look at the people, and indeed there is a figure of "card god" in later generations.

   And James Cameron saw the person sitting in the office chair not speaking, and kept looking at him, a little cramped, after all, he was still young.

   James Cameron did not have a professional background in film, but he was very interested in the industrial technology of film when he was still a student. For this reason, he has always studied the technology of film shooting and special effects production at that time.

   In 1978, James Cameron made his first short film "Origin of Alien" by borrowing money from a group of dentist friends.

Although this short film was only 12 minutes long, it began to attract some film production companies to notice him. Soon after, James Cameron was invited by Roger Coleman, who is famous for shooting B-level films, and went to Roger Cole. Mann’s company holds the position of model maker.

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}   During the inauguration of James Cameron, Roger Coleman also taught James Cameron a lot of knowledge about filming, plus James Card Mellon himself has a very high talent and interest in this aspect, so he has always hoped to have the opportunity to direct a film himself.

   At this time, James Cameron is acting as the art director of the film "Challenge of the Century" directed by Roger Kao. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is making special effects models.

   It was also in the "Challenge of the Century" that the crew James Cameron met Jack Nicholson, and Jack Nicholson was impressed by the talent of James Cameron and his insights in filming.

   At this time, Bill Sharman invited Jack Nicholson to guide the Lakers' promotional film. At this time, Jack Nicholson had work to do and couldn't get out of his body. He conflicted with Bill Sharman's immediate shooting time.

   So at this time Jack Nicholson just thought of James Cameron, a talented young man, and recommended James Cameron to Bill Sharman.

As a diehard fan of the Lakers, Jack Nicholson certainly would not recommend a director casually. Jack Nicholson is truly convinced by James Cameron’s talent and insights in filming, so he recommended James Camer. Long.

And James Cameron just needs an opportunity to direct alone, even if this is only a promotional film, but the budget is not capped, and the equipment is provided by the director, so that he has already shot his first short film "Alien Origin". James Cameron is very excited.

   I want to come to James Cameron. This is a boss who is not bad for money. As long as the promo is filmed, when I want to come and have a script, it shouldn’t be difficult to ask the boss for investment.

So James Cameron opened his closet and found his best suit from the closet. He came to see Li Zhiwen and wanted to give Li Zhiwen a good impression. As a result, this suit was very cheap in Li Zhiwen’s eyes. James Cameron knew that he might not be so beautiful.
