UCameron sekuyisikhathi esithile eqhathaniswa neNkosi King Midas, owaphendulela yonke into ibe yigolide kunoma yini ayithinte. Zahlulela wena: amafilimu amabili amahlanu aqondiswe umqondisi - "Titanic" (1997, 11 "Oscars" ne "Avatar" (2009) - yaba yinto ephakeme kunazo zonke emlandweni wefilimu yezwe. Owokuqala wathola i-$ 1.84 billion ebhokisini lebhokisi, kanti owesibili wenza imali ekhehla ngokuphelele-cishe i-$ 2.5 billion (futhi lokhu kuphela ekupheleni kukaFebhuwari). Ukumemezela isifiso sokuhoxisa ukuqhubeka kwe-blogger blockbuster, uCameron uphikisile ... Iplanethi ethi "Avatar" yaphakanyiswa kakhulu, okusho ukuthi uJames ngeke aphinde abe ngowakhe iminyaka eminingana futhi umndeni wakhe kuzodingeka uqhubeke uphila omunye "ukucwiliswa" kokudala wekhanda lomndeni. Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi uMdali we-Avatar, umqondisi uJacob Cameron - eCanada, isifiso sakhe somsebenzi ngokuvamile siMelika. Akuwona wonke owesifazane ongamukela lokhu.
Amantombazane avela ku "sandbox"
UCameron wahamba kathathu ngaphansi kwesiteji. Ngokokuqala ngqá, wazibophezela ngoSharon Williams, umgcini wezincwadi ezivela e-Los Angeles sikaBob's Big Boy yokudlela e-distant 1978. Khona-ke, insizwa eneminyaka engu-23, ngemuva kokubukela "i-Star Wars" yashiya umsebenzi womshayeli weloli futhi yanquma ukuba ngumqondisi. Iminyaka eyisithupha, uSharon usazama ukuwina umyeni wakhe emuva kwesikrini sesibhakabhaka, kodwa ngaphandle kokuphumelela. Ngemva kokususa ifilimu ye-science engamacinithi angu-12 ethi "Xenogenesis", uCameron wazinzisa umhlobiso emafilimu adumile efilimu amafilimu aphansi-amabhajethi Roger Corman. Futhi eminyakeni embalwa kamuva wakhula waya esihlalweni somqondisi. I-pancake yokuqala - ukuqhubeka kwefilimu "iPiranha" (1982) - yavela ngaphandle. AmaNtaliyane, awakhiqiza lesi sithombe, awanikeze imali encane kakhulu, kanti abadlali befilimu abazange bakhulume isiNgisi nhlobo. Kwakukhona nezinye eziningi zokugqoka. Noma kunjalo, uJames wakwazi ukuziphendulela ngisho ne-fiasco yokuqala. Esimweni sokucindezeleka okukhulu, waba nesibindi sokuthi umbulali we-robot uthunyelwe kanjani esikhathini esizayo ukuze ambulale. Ekuseni, leli phupho laba yisisekelo se "Terminator". Ngaphandle kokucabanga kabili, uCameron wathengisa lesi script kuGail Anne Hurd, inhloko yokumaketha e-Corman, ... i-dollar engu-1. Yiqiniso, ukuthatha izithembiso ezimbili intombazane: uzothatha izithombe zakhe futhi uGail uzoba ngumkakhe. Ngakho nakho konke kushiye. Njengoba isabelomali esingaba ngu-R6,5 million, i-Terminator (1984) yaphakamisa cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-80, eyiswa kuJacob Cameron udumo lomqondisi nomdwebi wezithombe, kanye no-Arnold Schwarzenegger, abanjwe nendima yendikimba, njenge-superstar.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, umsebenzi kaCameron uye wakhuphuka. Uloba umlandeli we-"Aliens" othakazelisayo (1986) futhi uphonsa umkhondo ("Oscar" wemiphumela yokubukwa). Ekugcineni, "Ulasha" (1989) ... Isakhiwo sikaJakobe oneminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye ubudala esimnandi sakhula nesifundo se-biology. Esikhundleni sokulalela ama-pistils nama-stamens, wabhala indaba ngomhlangano wabantu abahlukahlukene nabakhileyo ekujuleni kolwandle. Esimweni se "Ulasha" lomqondisi, igama lesidlaliso i-Iron Jim lalisungulwa ngenxa yokuzinikezela kwakhe nokuzikhandla. Isabelo sezingonyama sezingonyama sasingaphansi kwamanzi. UJames nomfowabo, injini ye-aerospace enekhono elikhethekile kanye nesimemezelo esivumelwaneni, hhayi nje kuphela okwakhiwa ngamakhamera akhethekile okudubula kwamanzi, kodwa futhi ngomzamo wokwenza konke kutholakale ekuqinisweni okusemandleni okukhulelwa ngamamitha ayi-12. Ngaphansi kokudubula kwashintsha amathangi amabili amakhulu esiteshini samandla enyukliya esingapheli. Isikhathi sokuphela kwesibhamu sasiqhutshwa kathathu futhi sidonselwa iminyaka nesigamu, iqembu lomqondisi uJames Cameron wasebenza cishe ngaphandle kwezinsuku. Ukwengeza kulolu hlobo lwemibono yomqondisi, ngubani, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubulili kanye neminyaka yobudala, akaze aqiniseke ekukhetheni izinkulumo - akudingekile, futhi uzibuze ukuthi abaphathi bakhe bazizwa kanjani "ne-crazy canada". Kodwa akukho mncane ngaphandle kokuhle: "Ulasha" abanezincomo ezine ze "Oscar" uye waqinisa isimo sakhe njengomqondisi onethalente, umdwebi wesikrini nomkhiqizi. Kodwa ngaphambili kwekhredithi kwaphinde kwafika umthamo omnyama.
Inhloso ye "Oscar"
Umkakho wesithathu kaJakobe wayengumfana ovela "esitolo sakhe se-sandbox," eqondiswa nguKatryn Bigelow. Ukuthandana kwenkonzo, ngokusho kwe-Iron Jim, kuyindlela ehle yokuxhumana nabesifazane. Yiqiniso, kuhle kuphela uma lo mbhangqwana usebenza ephrojekthi efanayo ... UCameron wakhiqiza uCatherine ukuba abe nomculo ojabulisayo "Ngomkhuhlane" (1989) noKeanu Reeves noPatrick Swayze abahola phambili. Esimweni, uJames weza nomphumela wokuguqula ("morph"), owawusetshenziselwa ukwakha umbulali we-robot T-1000, ozalwa ngedonsa yensimbi encibilikisiwe, ngesikhathi "Terminator" (1991). UJacob noCatherine baphila iminyaka emibili, futhi kamuva baphambukana ngokuhlakanipha. U-Bigelow, noma kunalokho, ifilimu yakhe yakamuva mayelana nempi e-Iraq, "INkosi yeSiphepho" yaba umncintiswano "kwi-Avatar" yakhe (zombili izithombe zaphakanyiselwa i-Oscar ngezigaba ezingu-9).
"Ukuphikisana kwalabo abengaba" intatheli " bebambe iqhaza elibalulekile le" Oscar "futhi lokhu kuhloswe kugcinwe kuze kube sekugcineni. Uphumelele ... Bigelow, ukuthatha lezi zithombe ezigabeni eziyinhloko "Ifilimu Ehamba phambili" kanye "noMqondisi Omkhulu".
Ngemva kukaKatherine, ngo-1997, uJames futhi, ngaphandle kokushiya "umshini", washada inkanyezi ye "Terminator" uLinde Hamilton. Ukuhlukaniswa ngemva kweminyaka emibili kubiza uCameron $ 50 million. Owesihlanu futhi okwamanje umkami wokugcina womqondisi odumile - uSusie Amis - naye ungumdlali we-actress. Wadlala ku-Titanic, umzukulu kaRosa. NgoJuni 4 kulo nyaka, uJames noSusie bazogubha iminyaka eyishumi yokuphila komshado. KuCameron lena irekhodi. Futhi mhlawumbe, uhlakaniphile uSuzzi waqaphela ukuthi iCanada yokudala ihlale ingenalo ichweba lomndeni elithulile. Wabeletha izingane ezintathu ezithandekayo: uClaire maduze 9, kanye namawele kaQuinn no-Elizabeth Rose - iminyaka emithathu. Ngendlela, lapho uCameron ehamba nabo e-Disneyland, ukumomotheka okumnandi akuveli ebusweni bakhe.
