Chapter 207 New Shooting

"Please help me make an appointment with Cameron. I want to talk to him." Li Muchen said to the other end of the phone, with a determined light in his eyes.

A few days later, in a quiet cafe, Li Muchen met James Cameron.

Cameron was wearing a simple T-shirt, jeans and a baseball cap, and looked like an ordinary truck driver, but the enthusiasm and persistence for movies revealed in his eyes made Li Muchen feel that he was different.

"Mr. Li, nice to meet you." Cameron extended his hand enthusiastically.

"Director Cameron, I've long heard of your name. I heard about your Titanic project and am very interested." Li Muchen responded with a smile.

Cameron began to introduce his plan in detail. He described the magnificent scene of the huge Titanic recreated on the screen and told the love story between the hero and heroine who transcended class.

Li Muchen listened quietly, and became more and more determined in his thoughts.

"Director Cameron, I have decided to invest in this movie." Li Muchen suddenly said.

Cameron looked up in surprise, his eyes filled with gratitude and excitement. "Mr. Li, thank you so much! You really have vision and courage."

Li Muchen smiled and said, "I believe in your talent, Director Cameron. I also believe that this movie will become a classic."

After investing in "Titanic", Li Muchen was not satisfied with it.

He is well aware that the competition in the film industry is fierce, and only by continuously producing excellent works can he remain invincible in this market.

He decided to let Star Films initiate the production of several films, including "The Last Jedi", "Sister Act", "Jurassic Park", "The Bodyguard", "The Villain" and "Basic Instinct".

After returning to the company, Li Muchen immediately summoned the company's senior management and held an important meeting.

"Everyone, our company is about to enter a new stage of development." Li Muchen stood at the front of the conference room, his eyes sweeping over everyone with determination. "We have decided to invest in Titanic. At the same time, we will also start production on several more films. This is our opportunity, but also a challenge."

There was a burst of discussion in the conference room. Everyone was excited and a little worried about this bold decision.

After all, producing multiple films simultaneously requires a lot of money and resources, and the risks also increase.

"Mr. Li, with so many projects going on at the same time, can we make ends meet?" A financial manager raised his question.

Li Muchen smiled faintly and said confidently, "Everyone, rest assured. Our company's current performance is very good. So far, we have earned a total of over 6 billion yuan at the box office, and the box office share alone is approximately 20 to 30 billion US dollars. Add to that the income from peripheral products and VCD discs, and we have ample funds. Moreover, I believe that these projects will be successful and bring us rich returns."

Hearing Li Muchen's words, everyone showed excited smiles on their faces.

They are full of confidence in Li Muchen's leadership and decision-making, and are excited about the company's upcoming great development.

In the following days, Chenxing Film Company began the intense and busy preparations.

Various project teams were quickly formed, screenwriters worked day and night to write scripts, directors were busy with casting and preparing for filming, and producers were running around to coordinate resources.

The entire company is immersed in an atmosphere full of passion and creativity.

Li Muchen was also not idle. He personally participated in the planning and decision-making of each project.

He carefully reviewed the script and put forward his own opinions and suggestions; he had in-depth exchanges with directors to discuss shooting styles and performance techniques; he also paid attention to the selection of actors to ensure that the most suitable actor could play each role.

During the preparation of "Jurassic Park", Li Muchen put forward very high requirements for the design of the dinosaur image in the script.

He believes that dinosaurs should not only have realistic appearances, but also vivid personalities and behavioral characteristics, so that the audience can truly feel the charm and threat of dinosaurs.

"These dinosaurs can't just be simple models; they have to have souls," Li Muchen told the special effects team. "I hope the audience will feel both excited and terrified when they see them."

The special effects team is well aware that Li Muchen has high requirements, but they are also infected by his enthusiasm and persistence, and they all expressed that they will do their best.

After countless designs and revisions, the dinosaur images that finally appeared on the screen were amazing. They were lifelike and seemed to have really traveled from ancient times.
