Cameron depicts the imaginary picture, the tone is full of longing, and the girl sitting next to Eric is splashing cold water with a smile: "But it must be very expensive."

"Oh, Drew," Cameron shook his head and pointed to Eric: "Your problem is not a problem for this guy at all."

"Of course, the problem of money is not the problem, the screening channel is the problem," Eric smiled and said to Cameron: "If you make" Spider-Man "into 3DIMAX format according to your assumption, then you will find that you are not No theater line to play this movie. "

The words of Eric are like a pot of real cold water, and Cameron is also awake. I remember Stan · Winston said that the 3DIMAX screen used for testing in Firefly Studios, even if it is not the world ’s first, is in global The range is also absolutely rare.

However, thinking of the 3DIMAX screen, Cameron immediately understood it and looked at Eric and said, "You guys, you almost got cheated by you. Since the 3DIMAX screen is here, you must have a plan in your heart. Not right? "

"Of course," Eric does n’t sell Guanzi, and said with a smile: "Even, Firefly software has started to secretly develop professional tool software for 2D to 3D technology. As long as the time is ripe, a special 3D conversion system branch will be established in the digital field. Hollywood is suitable for classic movies converted into 3D movies and re-moved to the big screen. "

Strictly speaking, the 2D to 3D technology has now appeared. If it was n’t caught in advance by “Titanic”, according to the original timeline, Cameron should have produced a 3D version of “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” . However, the current 2D to 3D technology can only be described as rough, and cannot achieve large-scale commercialization at all.

Eric witnessed the whole process of the original time and space due to the proliferation of various pseudo 3Ds, resulting in the entire process of this extremely promising new film technology being played by the industry, since he now has enough for Hollywood Influence and right to speak, of course, he hopes that related technologies can develop more maturely to achieve the healthy development of this industry.

Cameron asked: "Hey, Eric, do n’t make it so unclear, how long does it take? How long is three years? The production cycle of" Spider-Man "is exactly three years."

"Jim, you need to understand that if you want to promote 3D movies on a large scale, or even further 3DIMAX, we will face a large-scale upgrade of the entire industry chain. From basic 3D camera development to the most terminal cinema The upgrade of equipment, none of these links, can be achieved overnight. I think it should take at least five years to achieve initial results. So, wait for your next movie and consider this kind of thing. "

In fact, it is not impossible to forcefully accelerate this process, but it is not in line with Eric ’s expansion plan for Firefly.

Eric got a theory from Buffett, strengthened its own strength when the economic situation is good, and sought expansion under the bad economic environment.

In recent years, it has happened to be the best time for North America ’s economic situation, not to mention the rapid development of the IT industry, even Hollywood, because of the vigorous development of the global film market, the further expansion of the video tape / DVD industry and the cable TV industry The average annual growth rate of the Hollywood film industry far exceeds 10%.

Eric knows that the current good development environment of Hollywood will enter a period of downturn with the bursting of the Internet bubble around 2000. At that time, it will be the best time for Firefly to expand further. Eric used Clover Holdings' investment plan for Nasdaq IT shares, in fact, it was also accumulating funds for the further expansion of Firefly Group after 2000. At the current scale of Firefly Group, a small-scale merger of hundreds of millions of USD cannot be called anymore. Get expansion. If you can use the opportunity of the Internet bubble to accumulate two or three 10 billion USD cash reserves, when the time comes, Firefly Group can enter the new industry or seek a merger goal, you can pay as little equity as possible, even no need to use the exchange Stock model.

It is obviously impossible for Cameron to think of the industrial development planning of these big patterns, but he just feels a pity.

In other cases, Cameron may delay the production plan of "Spider-Man" for several years, and he can fully afford it.

It's just that he has agreed to Eric for this project. Although he has been under a lot of pressure on the "Titanic" project, Cameron also knows that Eric is not less stressed than him because Eric I have spared no effort to even support this project blindly. If the "Titanic" Box Office is defeated, the Firefly Group management may lose trust in Eric. Eric gave him such great support, as a temperament, he will not let Eric down.

Everyone talked about the topic of 3DIMAX again. Eric felt a bit dry mouth, took a few sips of coffee, and asked at random: "Jim, what about you, what have you been busy with recently?"

The project of "Spider-Man" will not be opened until at least the second half of this year. Cameron does not need to worry about the Oscar public relations of "Titanic". As for whether to go to Europe or Japan, participate in the next stage of publicity of "Titanic" The activities are completely in accordance with his wishes, this time Cameron should be considered very leisurely.

Cameron said: "It's nothing, I'm not like your workaholic, Oh, yes, but I thought of a good idea. When the idea matures, I take it out, maybe Firefly is willing to make it into a movie."

Eric came to Xingzhi and said: "Talk about it, maybe everyone can come up with ideas together."

Cameron did not conceal, and said briskly: "It is a science fiction story script, which tells the story of a girl who escaped from the transformation base after suffering an global disaster. Now it is just some simple background settings, I Still wondering what this global catastrophe should be. "

"Of course it is a nuclear war," Drew said sideways.

Eric immediately remembered what the idea of ​​Cameron was, smiled, and then the girl said, "If it is a nuclear war, there will not be many living people on the earth. Large-scale nuclear wars, remnants The strong radiation is enough to make this world unsuitable for living for decades. "

"It is indeed so," the opposite Stan · Winston also said: "And, after the nuclear war, it should be nuclear winter, the radiant clouds covering the sun block the sunlight, and the temperature of the earth ’s surface may even drop to Below zero, even if humans can survive the war and have the means to isolate radiation, but because of the nuclear winter, large numbers of animals and plants die, humans will die because of lack of food. "

"I think the same way," Cameron said: "So, nuclear war is simply not suitable, it is simply a post-apocalyptic era, what I want is just a chaotic era after a massive global catastrophe, humans Perhaps a large number of people will die, and cities will be deserted on a large scale, but the living environment on earth will not become worse. "

"Do n’t you like Riman," Eric listened to Cameron and pretended to be unintentional: "If so, you should just knows, Japan. Many sci-fi comics have a special global sexual attack method that will Large-scale failure of electronic instruments within the scope of global. "

Cameron immediately understood: "You mean, electromagnetic wave attack?"

Eric nodded: "According to your ideas, I guess that you should choose a point in time in the future. At that time, humans will become more dependent on electronic devices, then, once these devices are attacked, sure It will cause social chaos within the scope of global. Think about it, if there is a global blackout now, the consequences will be disastrous. "

"Yes, that's it," Cameron clapped his hands, and his thoughts immediately opened up, saying: "We can even set a more perfect world view for this story, turbulent years, martial society, the bottom struggling to survive Civilians, um, there is a much larger conspiracy plan brewing after this disaster. "

"So, the Heroine in the story should be the twist of connecting all this," Eric said: "However, according to this setting, I think this idea should be more suitable for making a TV series, rather than a movie. . "

"This is not bad," Cameron did not insist, saying: "The girl in the story should be very kind, but strong, and at the same time, her character should also have a very complicated side, like a bottomless one. Angel, um, it's called ******, what do you think? "

"Very good," Eric nodded with a smile, said: "Dark Angel ******."

"Yes, Dark Angel ******," Cameron said: "That ’s the name, I ’ll get rid of the settings during this time, Eric, if Firefly is interested, I will prepare a screenwriter Team. "

Eric nodded, "Dark Angel ******", although in the past history, this classic science fiction American drama was cut after only two seasons, but that is not the reason of this TV series itself, until Many years later, science fiction fans still remember the follow-up story of "Dark Angel ******".

"Jim, I can help you prepare an screenwriter team, but there is a little requirement."

"What?" Cameron asked curiously.

Eric laughed and said: "Heroine, it is still up to me to pick, I do n’t believe your aesthetics."

Everyone laughed.

Cameron shrugged and said, "Well, whatever you want, but I am still very satisfied with Heroine of" Titanic ", which shows that our two aesthetics should be similar."

"Oh, and also," Eric suddenly remembered, saying: "This TV series is more suitable for young people's taste, not suitable for playing on ABC. It happens that this year's Fox's" X file "is over. If you If you like, maybe this movie can take over the "X file" schedule. "

"This is your business," Cameron said: "I don't care about the issue, even if you let Fox directly make it, I don't care."

Eric nodded and said with a smile: "Then I let the screenwriter team of" X Archives "contact you directly, they just have a lot of experience in creating science fiction script."

"Dark Angel ******" is just an accident. Cameron's personal energy will still be placed on "Spider-Man", and he will not act as Producer like the original time and space. Eric then simply let Fox take over this project. It happens that after the end of "X file", Fox also needs a new sci-fi TV series to fill the schedule, because of the strong influence of "Titanic", Fox over there attaches great importance to "Dark Angel ******", the project is very It will soon enter the preparatory stage.

......

......

"This is not bad," Cameron did not insist, saying: "The girl in the story should be very kind, but strong, and at the same time, her character should also have a very complicated side, like a bottomless one. Angel, um, it's called ******, what do you think? "

"Very good," Eric nodded with a smile, said: "Dark Angel ******."

"Yes, Dark Angel ******," Cameron said: "That's the name, I will rush out the settings during this time, Eric, if Firefly is interested, prepare a screenwriter for me Team. "

Eric nodded, "Dark Angel ******", although in the past history, this classic science fiction American drama was cut after only two seasons, but that is not the reason of this TV series itself, until Many years later, science fiction fans still miss the follow-up story of "Dark Angel ******".

"Jim, I can help you prepare an screenwriter team, but there are a few requirements."

"What?" Cameron asked curiously.

Eric smiled and said: "Heroine, it is still up to me to pick, I do n’t believe in your aesthetic."

Everyone laughed.

Cameron shrugged and said: "Well, whatever you want, but I am still very satisfied with Heroine of" Titanic ", which shows that our two aesthetics should be similar."

"Oh, and," Eric suddenly thought of it again, saying: "This TV series is more suitable for young people's taste and is not suitable for broadcasting on ABC. It happens that this year's Fox" X file "is over. If you If you like, maybe this movie can take over the "X file" schedule. "

"This is your business," Cameron said: "I don't care what is released, even if you let Fox directly make it, I don't care."

Eric nodded and said with a smile: "Then I let the screenwriter team of" X Archives "contact you directly. They just have a lot of experience in creating science fiction script."

"Dark Angel ******" is just an accident. Cameron's personal energy will still be placed on "Spider-Man", and will not be Producer like the original time and space. Eric then simply let Fox take over this project directly. As it happens, after the end of "X File", Fox also needs a new sci-fi TV series to fill the schedule. Because of the strong influence brought by "Titanic", Fox attaches great importance to "Dark Angel ******", the project is very It will soon enter the preparatory stage. (To be continued.)
