Chapter 693 Cameron: I want to invest in IMAX!

"Hmm? You said you want to invest in IMAX?"

Oni Takeshi looked at Cameron in surprise, somewhat taken aback by the sudden request.

"Yes."

Cameron made no attempt to hide anything, looking directly at Takeshi Ono and answering bluntly, "I've always been a big fan of IMAX technology, and I firmly believe that the future belongs to 3D movies!"

Hearing his resolute tone, Oni Takeshi gave Cameron a deep look.

As expected of the "God of Cards," his judgment is as accurate as ever.

I just didn't expect him to have paid attention to IMAX technology so early.

In truth, this was all thanks to Ono Takeshi himself.

His early acquisition of IMAX and his massive investment in developing IMAX technology have attracted considerable attention.

Who can blame him when every move he makes is under the spotlight?

This naturally includes Cameron.

However, most of the others felt that Ono Takeshi was wasting money. They knew about IMAX technology, but they didn't know it was easy to develop.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been Ono Takeshi's turn to get a bargain; someone would have acquired IMAX long ago, since it was a thankless task.

Unlike these self-proclaimed "shrewd people" who thought they saw through everything, Cameron didn't think that way. Instead, he secretly mocked these people for being "shortsighted."

The more he learned about it, the more he was drawn to this novel and amazing technology.

A clear understanding and a firm belief gradually formed in my mind that IMAX technology will inevitably bring about a revolutionary change to the traditional movie model in the future!

Cameron firmly believed in his premonition.

Unfortunately, IMAX Corporation had already been acquired by Takeshi Ono, and it could be said that the entire IMAX technology was completely in the hands of the other party, so even if he wanted to intervene, he had no way to do so.

One step slow, every step slow.

Cameron has even envisioned a future where Takeshi Onino, with his immense influence, will make Hollywood bow down to him!
Because he has grasped the pulse of the times!

This made Cameron even more amazed by Oni no Takeshi's vision!
That's also why he's always followed in Ono Takeshi's footsteps.

It's nice to have a big tree at your back to enjoy the shade.

While marveling at Ono Takeshi's sharp foresight and foresight, which far surpassed those short-sighted idiots, Cameron was also pondering how to "get a piece of the pie."

This was something he had always longed for, but he had never had a good opportunity.

Now that Terminator has achieved unprecedented success, he finally has the leverage to ask Takeshi Ono for a stake in the company.

After hearing Cameron's request, Ono Takeshi did not answer him immediately.

Instead, she looked him up and down with an indescribable, eerie gaze.

Cameron shifted uncomfortably, his previously confident expression faltering.

If you think it's okay or not, just say so directly. What do you mean by looking at yourself like that?
Ono Takeshi didn't mean anything by it, he was just a little surprised.

Cameron was amazed by his keen insight in acquiring IMAX ahead of time, and Ono Takeshi was equally surprised by Cameron's shrewdness.

When future generations mention 3D movies, Cameron will definitely be the first name that comes to mind.

When Avatar was released, it shocked the world and ignited global enthusiasm for 3D and IMAX technology.

It's fair to say that Cameron may not have been the first to pay attention to this technology, but he was certainly one of the most focused on it.

To Ono Takeshi's surprise, the other party had not only been paying attention to this technology for a long time, but also had not given up on it even after he had acquired it. Now, they were taking the opportunity to propose to invest in him.

Oni no Takeshi fell into deep thought.

He did not refuse immediately, but instead considered the pros and cons.

Cameron was right; 3D and IMAX technology are definitely the future trend of movie formats.

This is also why Takeshi Ono has spared no effort in investing heavily in and developing IMAX.

Although the company hasn't been as high-profile as his films lately, it has actually been under Takeshi Ono's watchful eye, with a considerable amount of money invested.

The investment in research and development, acquisition and renovation of cinemas, and other related projects has been enormous, a bottomless pit of expenses.

The money earned from several movies was basically poured into this company by Ono Takeshi.

However, the only way to expand the scale of IMAX screens as quickly as possible is to spend money.

Logically, with such a large investment, this lucrative opportunity shouldn't be left to others. However, Takeshi Ono understood that having the technology and scale wasn't enough; to truly promote IMAX technology and make it an unstoppable transformative force, sufficient influence was also needed.

But this requires the right opportunity.

This opportunity could be either him or Cameron.

In his previous life, the times chose Cameron.

Heroes are made by the times, and in any case, this proves that this guy does indeed have the ability to stir up a wave of the times.

Therefore, if he really had to choose a partner, Ono Takeshi would choose Cameron.

He also needs more support to drive the development of IMAX technology until it becomes an inevitable trend.

Cameron is undoubtedly a very good choice.

This guy has no shortage of talent, connections, status, and influence.

Furthermore, to put it bluntly, although Takeshi Onino has a large fan base in North America and is regarded as an idol by many, he is actually not very well-received in Hollywood or even America.

They were bound to get angry and embarrassed after being humiliated by Oni no Takeshi so many times.

There are some constraints when it comes to getting things done.

In comparison, James Cameron, who solidified his status as a top director with "The Terminator," is much more pleasing to some people.

They're family, after all.

Although Cameron works for Ono Takeshi, what can you do when he's white?

Therefore, it would be more convenient for Cameron to handle some matters than for Onino Takeshi.

After careful consideration, Ono Takeshi made his decision with a flicker in his eyes.

“OK! I can give you 3% of the shares…”

Cameron was initially delighted upon hearing this, but then frowned.

The 3% figure was far from his expectations, which did not satisfy his appetite and was inconsistent with his plans.

Just as he was about to speak up to persuade him, Oni Takeshi seemed to have expected this and waved his hand:

“I know you’re anxious, but don’t rush. I don’t object to you wanting to invest, but you need to demonstrate the corresponding strength. I think 3% is a suitable percentage…”

Cameron raised an eyebrow. Although Oni Takeshi put it euphemistically, the implication was clear: he didn't have the money to invest and could only afford 3%.

This made Cameron feel a bit annoyed.

The Terminator franchise swept the globe, bringing him both fame and fortune. Cameron was at the height of his success and arrogance, which is why he proposed investing in IMAX at that time.

Because he felt he already possessed sufficient strength.

But Ono Takeshi implied that he was overestimating himself, which Cameron could not tolerate.

Ono Takeshi glanced at him, whose face showed no sign of dissatisfaction, and then said casually, "This year alone, I have invested more than 10 billion US dollars in IMAX..."

Cameron: ...

His resentful expression froze on his face.

The pride in my heart vanished instantly.

Even the benefits he gained from "The Terminator" were far from reaching that figure; it was insignificant compared to the immense benefits.

It was only then that Cameron truly realized just how vast the gap was between himself and capitalists like Takeshi Ono.

"I overestimated myself."

Cameron admitted with a wry smile.

However, he was not one to wallow in self-pity, and he quickly rallied his spirits and took a deep breath.

"Okay, 3% it is!"

The most important thing is that by investing in IMAX, you can gain a competitive edge in future changes.

"Happy cooperation!"

Oni Takeshi smiled slightly.
